Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a portable and flexible tape that is printable and / or writable.
  • the use of such a tape is primarily intended to express opinions at major events such as sporting events or pop concerts.
  • fan articles can be purchased in a wide range of entertainment and sports sectors. They usually serve to signal the owner's sympathy or reluctance to a certain group or an individual.
  • the so-called "fan scarf” is particularly well known from sports such as football or ice hockey. In the simplest version, such a scarf is simply knitted in the colors of the respective club, but the club emblem and a message can also be attached to it.
  • the invention is therefore based on the object of specifying a writable or printable device for expressing opinions, which is easy and compact to transport and can be used in an original manner.
  • the printable or writable tape is rolled up around a shaft that is rotatably supported within a support frame.
  • the tape is pulled out of the carrying frame by hand, taking the shaft with it, which tensions a spring mechanism that drives back.
  • the tape is then pulled in again independently.
  • Completely rolling up can be prevented by a stop device attached to the end of the belt.
  • the shaft can advantageously latch relative to the carrying frame, the latching being released again by a brief pulling movement of the band or by the actuation of a switching element attached to the carrying frame.
  • a device for emitting an optical and / or acoustic signal can be provided.
  • the band and the spring mechanism can be an integral part of a portable everyday object, the original function of this object being retained completely or at least partially.
  • the carrying frame can also be simply installed in a non-functional housing in the form of a commodity.
  • the invention is not limited to the use of a single band.
  • At least one further band can be provided in a housing, which can be pulled out in the same or in the opposite direction.
  • the housing is made from a thin-walled plastic sleeve.
  • the necessary wall thickness results from the compromise of stability compared to the holding pressure of the hand and the effort to make the carrying frame or housing as light as possible.
  • the housing and / or the head parts are covered with a soft material (e.g. foamed plastic or the like).
  • a soft material e.g. foamed plastic or the like.
  • the soft cover ensures a comfortable grip. It also prevents serious injuries if the portable tape is thrown.
  • the housing consists of a supporting (grid) frame, which is preferably surrounded by a soft covering.
  • the frame provides the necessary stability with low weight, while the soft cover ensures a comfortable grip and security.
  • locking devices are attached to the opposite ends of the band.
  • the tape can thus be attached to window panes (e.g. on the back of the car) or to fences when unrolled.
  • the housing is made of cardboard or solid paper. These materials are easily recyclable, inexpensive, light and soft despite being sufficiently stable.
  • At least one of the head parts can be locked in relation to the housing. This prevents the head parts from rotating in or on the housing.
  • At least one of the head parts is sunk in the housing or is flush with it.
  • the headboards usually have to be made of harder material. Lowering the head parts into the housing, which may be made of softer material or covered with it, ensures less risk of injury.
  • the edges that appear on the housing are rounded.

  • an elongated band 1 is wound around a shaft 2, which is rotatably held in a cylindrical housing 3, which serves as a support frame.
  • One end of the band 1 is attached to the rotatable shaft 2, while at the other end, which protrudes from a slot 4 in the wall of the housing 3, a handle 5 is attached or formed.
  • this handle 5 or an element thereof comes into contact with the housing 3, thereby preventing the band 1 from being pulled completely into the interior of the housing 3.
  • the two ends of the housing 3 are closed by head parts 6a and 6b, from each of which a hook 7a or 7b protrudes into the interior of the housing 3.
  • an annular rubber band 8 is also suspended thereon, which runs inside the rotatable shaft 2.
  • the mechanism for retracting the tape 1 shown here is characterized by its simplicity and ease of implementation.
  • other forms of a spring mechanism are also conceivable.
  • the shaft 2 itself can be suspended on one or both sides with a rubber band in the housing 3.
  • a spiral spring that is tensioned during the rotational movement.
  • the size of the housing 3 can be matched to the width and length of the band 1.
  • the ends of the shaft 2 and the head parts 6a and 6b can be designed so that the shaft 2 locks against the housing 3 when the band 1 is pulled out, as is known per se in window blinds.
  • the tape 1 can be unrolled to specific lengths without having to use additional force to maintain the set length.
  • the locking of the rotatable shaft 2 can then be released again by a brief pulling movement of the belt 1.
  • a switching element attached to the housing 3 is also conceivable, by means of its actuation, for example by means of thumb pressure, the locking of the shaft 2 is released.
  • band 1 and the spring mechanism just explained are an integral part of binocular binoculars 10, which can be seen in full view in FIG. 5. It consists of two objectives 11a, 11b, at the ends facing the eyes of which there are two eyepieces 12a, 12b, the two objectives 11a, 11b having two attachments 13a, 13b, which have a C cross section and can be pushed into one another, as is the case with this is shown in Fig. 9.
  • head parts 6a and 6b with the hooks 7a and 7b for mounting the shaft 2 and holding the rubber band 8 are on one of the two approaches 13a, 13b, in this case the approach 13a of the right lens 1 la attached, while the end of the band 1 opposite the shaft 2 is attached to the second projection 13b.
  • the right lens 11a, together with its attachment 13a, thus takes over the function of the carrying frame, while the left lens 1 lb takes on the role of the handle from the first exemplary embodiment.
  • the band 1 is completely encased by the housing of the binoculars 10 and thus protected from rain or other external influences.
  • the two lenses 11a, 11b are separated from one another (see FIG. 8), the corrugated shape of the outer wall of the lenses 11a, 11b allowing easy handling.
  • the band 1 and the spring mechanism are components of an article of daily use, the original function of the article being retained in full.
  • the device can therefore not only be used to publish the message on it by pulling out the tape 1, the binoculars 10 can also be used as such to track processes which are further away. This may be an advantage for sporting events that take place in large halls or stadiums - e.g. Football, baseball - take place or where small items are used, such as ice hockey pucks or golf balls.
  • binocular binoculars 10 one of the two objectives 11a, 11b can be fully functional, while the housing of the second objective only serves to support the band 1 and the spring mechanism. The resulting object then still functions as a simple telescope.
  • the binoculars 10 can be joined together as in the second exemplary embodiment, the tape 1 being unrolled again by pulling the two lenses 11a, 11b apart, but it is also possible, as in the first example, to make a slot on the outside of the second lens housing. through which the tape 1 can be pulled.
  • the invention is not limited to the use of a single band 1.
  • a further band 1 can be accommodated in an analog manner in the second lens housing.
  • the housing of the binoculars 10 then only serves as a dummy, since it is its original Function no longer fulfilled.
  • a second band 1 it is also possible to choose the application of the invention according to the external circumstances. Different messages can be printed on the two tapes - for example, applause and disapproval statements - which are shown according to the respective situation.
  • the housing of the femglass can be designed so that the two bands can be pulled out in the opposite direction - possibly also simultaneously - or in the same direction. The possibility of showing two different messages is naturally given from the start by the fact that the front and back of the tape 1 can be printed differently.
  • the use of a second belt expands the application options considerably, since both belts can also be unrolled at the same time.
  • FIGS. 10 to 15 A further possibility of integrating the band 1 and the spring mechanism into an article of daily use is shown in FIGS. 10 to 15.
  • This is a bottle 14 which has the shape of a so-called "flask”. This is divided into two spaces 16, 17 by a partition wall 18, a first space 16 which can be closed by the screw cap 19 of the bottle 14 and which can also be closed a liquid and a second space 17 on one side of the bottle 14, in which the band 1 is stored, this second space 17 is covered with a removable cap 15a, and a second cap 15b also covers the opposite side of the Bottle 14 is fixed there, however, on the top and bottom of the second space 17, the two head parts 6a and 6b are attached with their hooks 7a and 7b in such a way that the shaft 2 and the rubber band 8 are in the same way as in FIGS
  • the first end of the band 1 opposite the shaft 2 is fastened to the removable attachment 15a, and the bottle 14 is fixed in one hand in order to pull out the band 1 held while the attachment 15
  • the use of a second band 1 is also possible here, by further dividing the first space 16 intended for liquid absorption with a further partition.
  • the second band is then stored in an analogous manner on the opposite side to the first band 1, the second attachment 15b now also being designed to be removable.
  • the bottle 14 does not lose its functionality here.
  • the volume of the first space 16 is reduced by adding a second band, but liquid can still be taken up in it.
  • the bottle 14 is held essentially on the two attachments 15a, 15b.
  • both attachments 15a, 15b are inevitably removable.
  • the invention can therefore advantageously be further developed such that the two attachments 15a, 15b latch against the housing of the bottle 14, the respective latching being releasable again by actuating a switching element, for example a simple push button.
  • a switching element for example a simple push button.
  • the shape of the bottle 14 There are no limits to the shape of the bottle 14.
  • the present example of a "flask” seems sensible because it can simply be held in one hand while the tape 1 is being unrolled with the second hand, but other shapes are also conceivable.
  • the bottle 14 can be made more bulbous in the middle , which in turn allows more liquid to be taken in.
  • the bottle width can be increased on both sides.
  • the two exemplary embodiments of the glass 10 and the bottle 14 show that the present invention can be developed in a wide variety of ways.
  • Housings in the form of various types of portable objects can serve to hold the band, since this requires only an elongated space - corresponding to the dimensions of the band - which can possibly also be attached to the outer wall of an object. In most cases, the original function of the article of use is retained in whole or at least in part.
  • the band 1 can be integrated, for example, in the handle of an umbrella, a flashlight or in the housing of a camera.
  • a cylindrical housing according to the first embodiment can be attached to a hat or caps.
  • the main object of the object is to serve as a carrying frame for the band 1 and the spring mechanism.
  • the band 1 can therefore simply be built into the dummy of an object.
  • the band With regard to the primarily planned use of the invention as a fan article at sporting events, it seems particularly useful to integrate the band into sports equipment or at least into housings with corresponding shapes. Baseball bats, oversized ice hockey pucks, downsized footballs, tennis balls and the like are conceivable.
  • a signal transmitter can be provided which emits an acoustic and / or optical signal when the band 1 is pulled out and / or pulled back.
  • This can be designed in such a way that changes in the signal, for example an increasing pitch or volume, characterize the length of the tape that has already been pulled out or the speed at which the tape is pulled.
  • the band can also be integrated in a device for generating noise, for example in the handle of a ratchet.
  • the invention is also suitable as a new advertising medium. While the fan message is on one side of the tape, one can be on the other side of the tape and / or on the case itself
  • An object in which the band is integrated can also act as an advertising medium itself, for example by putting the band in one
  • Housing which has the shape and printing of a beverage can, is installed.

  • Natural materials such as leather, rubber, latex etc. or plastics (foamed, non-foamed) can be used as materials for the cover.
  • materials can be used that are also used in the manufacture of mattresses, exercise mats and other upholstery.
  • the thickness ratio between housing 3 and protective jacket 20 depends on the materials used in each case.
  • the housing and the head part 6 ensure stability; they absorb the tensile forces generated when the tape is pulled out, support the rotating shaft inside the housing and absorb the hand pressure generated by the user.
  • the protective jacket 20 and the protective cap 21 dampen impacts and create a pleasant feeling of holding. These tasks determine the choice of materials and the choice of wall or layer thicknesses.
  • the soft protective jacket can be many times thicker than the housing wall. Basically, the endeavor is very good light and thin to hold.
  • the preferred layer thickness of the protective jacket results from the total weight and overall dimension of the portable band.
