DE20009833U1 - Labeling device for documents sensitive to moisture - Google Patents

Description

Description .

Labeling device for moisture-sensitive documents, especially golf score cards, without the usual writer, with quick access to 2 sides of the document.

If you play for several hours in the rain, there is a risk that the scorecard will become soggy because it is made of thin cardboard. Filling it in with a pencil, as is usually used, is then hardly possible, if at all. In addition, the results entered when dry become illegible.

Therefore, the scorecards are often stored in a special, waterproof, sturdy box with a flap attached to the golf cart by clamping it in place, or in a jacket or trouser pocket.

However, as practice shows, when it rains, simply opening the lid of the box or touching the scorecard with wet hands is enough to cause it to become soggy, with all the disadvantages that this entails.

You can also always expect the lead of the pencil you are using to write most of the time to break or become too worn out.

It is therefore an object of the invention to avoid the disadvantages mentioned and to create a solution which optimally meets the special requirements when entering the results in rain.

The object is achieved in that at least the area of the document to be labelled is covered with a rubberised auto-copy film which reacts in colour to local pressure and which conveniently allows the print on the document to shine through, and in that the document is housed in a rainproof, transparent cover which transmits the labelling print applied from outside the cover to the auto-copy film practically unhindered.

The advantages of the invention are that, in contrast to storing the scorecard in a relatively complex box, it now provides quick access to two sides of the scorecard, that the invention is suitable for all common scorecards, and that the usual pencil is no longer required. Writing is now possible with any sharp object, including a golf tee. This is almost always needed on the tee, and this is also where the last score is usually recorded. Because of its small size, the invention can also be stored very easily and within easy reach. These advantages are particularly noticeable when the clubs are carried in the bag in the rain and there is no way of attaching the box from the golf cart to the bag.

An embodiment of the invention is explained with reference to Figures 1-3. They show:

Fig. 1 a view A of the cover (1) with the retaining clamp

(4) for the score card (3) and the snap hook (6) as a fastening device, as well as for the inside of the cover

(1) located scorecard (3) which must be protected from moisture with the writing pad (2).

Fig. 2 a cross section B-C through the cover (1), with the writing pad (2) and the score card (3) with the auto-copy transparencies (3.1; 3.2).

Fig. 3 a longitudinal section D-E through the cover (1), with the writing pad (2) and the score card (3).

The invention essentially consists of the rainproof cover (1), which is made of a transparent film, with an opening on the narrow side for inserting the score card (5) with the bend-resistant writing pad (2) into the cover (1), and a clamp (4) made of spring steel, which holds the aforementioned parts together. A snap hook (6) is attached to the clamp (4) made of spring steel, for easy attachment to a golf bag, for example. The opening side of the cover (1) faces downwards. The writing pad (2) is expediently made of plastic, cardboard, wood or light metal. The score card (3) is advantageously placed around the writing pad (2) in such a way that the areas to be written on (3.1, 3.2) remain visible from the outside.

To facilitate opening and closing, the spring steel clamp (4) has two wire levers (4.1, 4.2) that can be pivoted about axes F and G. The clamp (4) is operated by first pivoting the wire levers (4.1, 4.2) against the clamp (4) and then pressing them against each other.

In a further embodiment of the invention, the cover (1) can also be equipped with a rainproof closure in the open area. This could easily be achieved, for example, by folding the cover by 180° and clamping it at the open end or by using a pressure closure.

The score card (3) corresponds to the design generally used in golf clubs. It differs only in that the area to be written with the results (3.1, 3.2) is covered with a rubberized auto-copy foil (5) that reacts in color to local pressure and conveniently allows the print to show through.

Claims (5)

1. Labeling device for moisture-sensitive documents, in particular scorecards for golf, characterized in that the area of the document ( 3.1 , 3.2 ) to be labeled is covered with a rubberized auto-copy film ( 5 ) which reacts in color to local pressure and which expediently allows the print of the document ( 3 ) to shine through, and that the document ( 3 ) is housed in a rain-protected, transparent cover ( 1 ) which transmits the label print applied from outside the cover to the auto-copy film ( 5 ) practically unhindered. 2.
