DE10112036C1 - Holder, for the ends of a cravat at the front of the neck, has a front hollow body in a truncated cone shape with an elliptical cross section and structured rear walls with sprung and overlapping holding straps - Google Patents

Abstract

The holder, to secure the ends of a cravat at the front of the neck, has a hollow front body (1) in the shape of a truncated cone with a semi-elliptical cross section. The rear wall sections (20,21) are fixed on both sides along the longer elliptical axis, with their inner edges aligned towards the interior of the front hollow body. The inner edges carry sprung holding straps (30,31), which are curved inwards and at least partially overlap each other. The holder is of sheet metal or plastics, in one piece.

Description

The invention relates to a tie closure of the im Use a tie around a person's neck to hold the neck together with the tie ends hanging out is, on a front hollow body with a truncated cone shape of an approximately semi-elliptical cross-section the long axis of the ellipse extending on both sides Back wall sections are formed on each other directed edges to the inside of the molded body directed spring loaded swiveling, inward arched Holding tabs are arranged.

Such a tie fastener is from DE-PS 587 125 known.

The arcuate tabs are resilient directly to the Molded front area. In one version they are cylindrical Body extending longitudinally at the resilient tab ends stored on it, which facilitate the insertion of the tie ends should. However, there is a considerable gap between the rollers open, and the rotating rollers leave the tie ends there emerge easily.

Furthermore, from DE-GM 72 11 853 a scarf clasp known, the front body in an arc by more than 180 ° extends from one end of which an arcuate clasp articulated stretches, the other a snap lock  to match a notch on the other end of the front body. The clasp extends in one when locked narrower arch into the front body and carries one anti-slip trim directed in there.

There are also tie closures in the form of rings or Knots with a push-through opening with an inhibiting inner side prevents slipping, known. However, these have the Disadvantage that they have the location of the wider decorative end Tie to the narrower end section and not so clear and keep each other neat, like this with a bond with a double tie knot is the case.

It is an object of the invention, the known scarf closure so to improve that it is easy to use Corresponding assignment and arrangement of the double tie knot both ends of the tie.

The solution is that the tabs hold each other overlap at least partially.  

Advantageous embodiments are in the subclaims specified.

The front body has an elliptical conical shape, which roughly corresponds to the Top of a classic tie double knot. It is therefore designed as a decorative body and either covered with a neutral decorative pattern or with tie fabric.

The two retaining tabs are for the separate fixing of the position provided two ends of the tie, which makes the handling and the Assigning the ends is very easy. With an inner Retaining tab, which is bent about 1/4 in a circle, will wide decorative end of the tie from the inside against the front body pressed. By lifting the retaining tab, the inhibitory force can be reduced be reduced and the closure to the desired height can be set. The narrow end of the around the neck looped tie is then on the inner retaining tab placed and then with the outer approximately semicircular retaining tab applied their elastic pressure and with a notch locked the swivel range of the inner retaining tab.

The entire tie fastener can be made in one piece from plastic getting produced. An embodiment made of sheet metal is preferred of the retaining tabs with hinge joints on the inner edges of the front body are hinged to its rear wall sections. The joints are eyelets, through which each is thin Joint axis is inserted, formed. Is about the axes a coil spring looped, the ends of the spring force on the Apply connected parts. The pegs are in the form of undulating depressions in the end region of the outer holding means tab shaped to match the joint of the inner retaining tab and trained trained.

The retaining tabs are inserted into the holder from above pushed outwards to release the catch and the spring force release from the tie ends. Handling is conceivable easy because the tie ends are only inserted and not must be pulled through and because the insertion happen individually can and successively change the length of the ends by releasing the appropriate retaining tab are to be defined. The basic one the length of the wide decorative end of the tie remains obtained when the neck size by adjustment with the outer Retaining tab is changed. So this can be done at any time change.

An advantageous embodiment is shown in FIGS. 1-3, 4A-4C.

Fig. 1 shows a front view of the tie tie circuit;

Fig. 2 shows the upper contour of the tie fastener;

Fig. 3 shows an exploded view of the tie closure;

FIGS. 4A to 4C show the state sequences upon application of the closure from the back.

Fig. 1 shows the front view of the front body ( 1 ) of the tie fastener, which is designed frustoconically tapered downwards.

Fig. 2 shows the upper contour of the closure. The front body ( 1 ) has an approximately semi-elliptical horizontal cross section, which is rounded on both sides and merges into rear wall sections ( 20 , 21 ) which lie approximately in the long axis (A) of the ellipse of the cross section. As shown in FIG. 3, the rear wall sections ( 20 , 21 ) are approximately triangular, the triangular tips lying approximately on the lower edge of the front body ( 1 ) and the inner edges of the triangles running parallel to one another.

Hinges are attached to the inner edges of the rear wall sections ( 20 , 21 ) with which the inner retaining tab ( 30 ) is articulated on one edge and the outer retaining tab ( 31 ) is articulated on the other edge. The hinges are made from the sheet metal of the rear wall sections ( 20 , 21 ) and the retaining tabs ( 30 , 31 ) and are bent hinge eyelets ( 40 A, 40 B; 41 A, 41 B), through which a thin, wire-made axis ( 50 , 51 ) is inserted.

The coil springs ( 60 , 61 ), which are each wound around the axis ( 50 , 51 ), apply an elastic closing force to the retaining tabs at their ends.

In Fig. 2 the cross-sectional shape and the position of the retaining tabs ( 30 , 31 ) can be clearly seen. The inner retaining tab ( 30 ) extends in the shape of a quarter-hollow cylinder inwards to beyond the center of the front body ( 1 ) and rests there with the spring force. The length of the inner retaining tab is so great that it can still be pivoted out of the space between the hinges.

The outer retaining tab ( 31 ) has an approximately semi-hollow cylindrical inwardly curved shape. The free cylinder side is provided with locking recesses ( 70 , 71 ) which are designed to match the hinge of the inner retaining tab ( 31 ) and are used for locking depending on the thickness of the inserted tie end. From the outermost locking recess ( 70 ) extends radially to the cylinder, a grip strip ( 72 ) which is closely spaced from the claimed rear wall section ( 20 ) when the closure is closed and is therefore easy to reach behind with a fingernail when the closure is released shall be.

Fig. 4A shows the tie fastener from the back. Both retaining tabs ( 30 , 31 ) are swung open against the forces of the springs ( 60 , 61 ). The wide tie end is inserted in this position. Then the inner retaining tab 30 is released for pressing and swiveling in, as shown in FIG. 4B. Then the narrow end of the tie is inserted and then the outer retaining tab ( 31 ) is released for pivoting and pressing, as shown in FIG. 4C.
