DE102009035533A1 - Application device for fixing identification mark in e.g. clothing, has pusher part returning to starting position by spring force after completion of compression process of leg front ends, so as to provide space for front part/rear part - Google Patents

Abstract

The device has two leg parts movably connected at rear ends in a hinge-like manner. A pusher part is provided at one of the leg parts. The pusher part presses and locks a positioned front and rear parts (1, 2) via an opening of a magazine with inserted textile into a counterpart (4) on another magazine during compression of leg front ends. The pusher part returns to the starting position by a spring force after completion of the compression process of the leg front ends, so as to free a space for the front and rear part advancing from a supply unit of the appropriate magazine.

Description

The The invention relates to an application device to textiles To attach identification marks consisting of a front and a Rear section, which are equipped with an approach to front or back piercing the interposed textile and the under pressing pressure in a counterpart to the approach locked into a unit.

To the common washing of several textiles such as clothes or laundry In the washing machine, it is easy to confusion in the assignment the washed textiles, for example in the pairwise compilation related socks without conspicuous weave patterns. Belong a household several members with similar laundry sizes On, it is again easy to confusion when sorting out and associating similar garments.

the same Likelihood of confusion exists in other places, such. In school or sports wardrobe.

To remedy this situation, it is known to provide textiles such as clothing or laundry with identification marks. Such identification marks are for example from the
DE 20 2006 001 139 U1 , of the DE 20 2005 014 461 U1 , of the US 4,344,240 or the US 5,467,510 known. These identification marks are composed of a front and a back, pierced by an approach to the front or back of the intermediate textile and are locked under pressure in a counterpart to the approach to a unit. The latching can be designed to be non-destructively detachable or non-detachable. The identification marks can be distinguishable in a variety of ways: in color, shape, embossed patterns, letters, initials, tactile features (eg, to allow blind people to identify the marked object), and much more.

The Attaching these known identification marks on a textile by hand proves to be in need of improvement. The comparatively small front and back parts before locking the can Hand omitted, which requires puncturing the textile depending on the type of textile greater effort, the placement of the counterpart on the approach requires fine motor Dexterity, the latching force in the fingertips.

It the object of the invention is to provide an application device, to facilitate the attachment of identification marks to textiles, and avoid the mentioned difficulties with purely manual attachment.

These Task is by an application device with the features solved after the main claim. Advantageous developments are the subject of the dependent claims.

The application device is similar in design and handling to office staples, with staplers having only one magazine for the staples, rather than one magazine each fore and aft parts:
The textile is - similar to a stack of paper staple - to bring between two leg parts of the device. Apart from the peculiarities that are caused by the bipartite of the identification mark over the one-piece staple, the identification mark is attached to the textile with the compression of both leg parts via a pusher part - like the staple on the paper stack.

The 1 to 3 serve to explain the application device:

1 FIG. 2 is a schematic illustration of an example of an identification tag composed of a front and a back; FIG.

2 : schematic representation of a first embodiment of the application device;

3 : schematic representation of a further embodiment of the application device.

The 1 shows an identification mark, which consists of a front part 1 and a back 2 is composed with an approach 3 at front or back pierces the intermediate textile and the under pressure in a counterpart 4 is latched to approach to a unit. The locking is achieved by making the neck and its counterpart of suitable material and shape. The approach can end in a tapered tip, with an over the other approach cross section edge. The tip can be forced through an opening in the counterpart of correspondingly elastic matter, where it hooks upon reaching an enlarged cavity.

It however, are a variety of latching, Verclippungs- or compression solutions known, all of which can be used. Prefers should not be able to solve the latching nondestructive. The front part can its identification function by color or formal design, by imprinted or printed patterns in the form of letters, initials, tactile characteristics and through many other things.

2 shows schematically an embodiment shape of the application device.

The application device consists of two leg parts 5 . 6 which are hingedly connected at their rear ends and movable by the force of a spring 7 be kept open in a rest position at an acute angle. A magazine in each leg part is used to hold a supply of front parts 1 the identification mark in a leg part and for receiving a supply of backs 2 the identification mark in the other leg part.

Feed and positioning means 8th In each magazine slide depending on the magazine a front / back part of the identification mark to an opening in the magazine respectively near the front end of the leg parts and position it so that upon compression of Schenkelvorderenden each a front and a back of the identification mark catching each other.

One not shown pusher on at least one of Leg parts presses when compressing the leg front ends a positioned front / rear part through the opening in the magazine with intermediate textile in the counterpart the other magazine and let it lock there. After completion the compression of the leg front ends returns the pusher part by spring force back to its original position and gives it the space free for a nachrückendes front / rear part from the stock of the corresponding magazine. Structure and mode of action the pusher part is so far similar to the pusher part in the known Staples.

The feed and positioning means can springs 8th include, which are stretched or compressed when filling the magazines with front / rear parts and cause by their relaxation, the advance of the front / rear parts. However, the feed and positioning means may also be constituted by mechanisms which translate the movement of the compression or divergence of the leg leading ends into a feed step for the front / rear parts.

The Application device can be designed so that isolated loose front / rear parts can be used. It is also preferred that strand, strip, ribbon or rod-like connected front / rear parts can be during or after latching on Predetermined breaking points of the strand, strip, band or rod tear off or be severed.

In connection with this embodiment, a further opening can be provided in the respective magazine, through which the strands, strips, bands or rods can be fed from the front / rear parts in the respective magazine. This is in 3 with an opening 9 indicated.
