Definitions
- the invention relates to a self-adhesive fastening element, such as a towel holder or the like, for gluing to tile walls or the like, with a base on the back carrying an adhesive film or the like, on the side of which facing away from the adhesive film a hook or the like is arranged.
- a self-adhesive fastening element such as a towel holder or the like
- Such a fastener is known from DE-U-7 734 733.
- the self-adhesive formed adhesive film provided on the back of the non-use state is either usually covered by a removable carrier film, whereupon the fastening element can then be attached to a tile wall or the like by simply pressing it on, or but must be moistened so that the film becomes adhesive, find many uses in the household, for example in bathrooms, in the kitchen, or the like, for attaching a wide variety of objects, for example as a towel holder, for fastening drinking glass holders, etc.
- a disadvantage of the known fastening elements is that the comparatively large base area required to ensure a satisfactory adhesive connection to the tile wall or the like requires a relatively extensive base which is larger than in the case of hooks or the like to be pegged in without the base a purpose other than the one that could make the relatively small hook or the like.
- the invention is based on the object, taking into account the existing need to use odor-improving materials, to further develop the known fastening element in such a way that the inevitably existing voluminous base can be used for a further application.
- the base is designed as a hollow body; that the front wall of the base or the like facing the hook or the like is provided with openings; and that an odor-absorbing material is arranged in the cavity of the base or the like.
- a preferred embodiment of the invention provides that a slot for replacing the odor-absorbing material is arranged on the top of the cavity of the base.
- the odor-absorbing material has a carrier body made of fleece or the like, which is impregnated with an odor-absorbing substance.
- the odor-absorbing material has a color indicator.
- the invention further provides that the openings of the front wall of the base are designed as slots.
- the openings are closed by an air-impermeable film or the like when the fastening element is not in use.
- the invention is based on the surprising finding that it is possible to use the relatively voluminous base of known self-adhesive fastening elements or the like in that the base is designed as a hollow body and an odor-absorbing material, preferably in the form of a fleece-like carrier body, in its cavity is impregnated with an odor absorbing substance.
- the odor-absorbing material can preferably be designed to be exchangeable, as described above. If, as a particular embodiment of the invention provides, the odor-absorbing material has a color indicator, it can be recognized through the openings through the user when the odor-absorbing substance has essentially been consumed, so that the odor-absorbing material can then be replaced.
- odor-absorbing material is to be understood in the broadest sense and includes substances of various kinds, insofar as they are only suitable for influencing the room atmosphere.
- insecticides or the like could also be used in such a way without this leading out of the inventive concept.
- the self-adhesive fastening element shown there has a base 10, from the front of which a hook 12 projects, the base 10 and hook 12 preferably being made in one piece from plastic.
- the front wall of the base 10 is in the manner shown in FIG. 1 with preferably provided slot-like openings 14.

Abstract
Description
Die Erfindung betrifft ein selbstklebendes Befestigungselement, wie Handtuchhalter o. dergl., zum Ankleben an Kachelwänden o. dergl. mit einem rückseitig eine Klebefolie o. dergl. tragenden Sockel, an dessen der Klebefolie abgewandten Seite ein Haken o. dergl. angeordnet ist. Ein derartiges Befestigungselement ist aus der DE-U-7 734 733 bekannt.The invention relates to a self-adhesive fastening element, such as a towel holder or the like, for gluing to tile walls or the like, with a base on the back carrying an adhesive film or the like, on the side of which facing away from the adhesive film a hook or the like is arranged. Such a fastener is known from DE-U-7 734 733.
Befestigungselemente der vorgenannten Art, deren an der Rückseite vorgesehene, selbstklebende ausgebildete Klebefolie im Nicht-Gebrauchszustand entweder üblicherweise durch eine abziehbare Trägerfolie abgedeckt ist, woraufhin das Befestigungselement dann nach Abziehen der Trägerfolie an einer Kachelwand o. dergl. durch einfaches Andrücken befestigt werden kann, oder aber befeuchtet werden muß, damit die Folie klebend wird, finden im Haushalt, beispielsweise in Badezimmern, in der Küche, o. dergl. zum Anbringen verschiedenartigster Gegenstände, beispielsweise als Handtuchhalter, zum Befestigen von Trinkglashaltern etc., mannigfache Anwendung. Ein Nachteil der bekannten Befestigungselemente besteht darin, daß die verhältnismäßig große, zum Gewährleisten einer befriedigenden Klebeverbindung mit der Kachelwand o. dergl. erforderliche Sockelfläche einen verhältnismäßig umfänglichen Sokkel erforderlich macht, der größer ist als bei einzudübelnden Haken o. dergl., ohne daß der Sokkel einem anderen Nutzungszweck, als eben demjenigen, den verhältnismäßig kleinen Haken o. dergl. zu Haltern, dienbar gemacht werden könnte.Fastening elements of the aforementioned type, the self-adhesive formed adhesive film provided on the back of the non-use state is either usually covered by a removable carrier film, whereupon the fastening element can then be attached to a tile wall or the like by simply pressing it on, or but must be moistened so that the film becomes adhesive, find many uses in the household, for example in bathrooms, in the kitchen, or the like, for attaching a wide variety of objects, for example as a towel holder, for fastening drinking glass holders, etc. A disadvantage of the known fastening elements is that the comparatively large base area required to ensure a satisfactory adhesive connection to the tile wall or the like requires a relatively extensive base which is larger than in the case of hooks or the like to be pegged in without the base a purpose other than the one that could make the relatively small hook or the like.
Andererseits finden in Badezimmern, Küchen o. dergl. in steigendem Maße geruchsabsorbierende Materialien Verwendung, die dazu dienen, beim Gebrauch der betreffenden Einrichtung auftretende Gerüche zu neutralisieren, damit eine angenehme Raumatmosphäre erhalten bleibt. Bislang ist es erforderlich, derartige geruchsabsorbierende Materialien in separaten Halterungen, wie bekannt aus der US-A-1757 530 oder beispielsweise in Form sogenannter WC-Duschsteine, die in das WC-Becken eingehängt werden, aber auch in Form von kerzenartigen Gebilden o. dergl. einzusetzen.On the other hand, bathrooms, kitchens or the like are increasingly using odor-absorbing materials which serve to neutralize odors which occur when the device in question is used, so that a pleasant room atmosphere is maintained. So far, it has been necessary to store such odor-absorbing materials in separate holders, as is known from US-A-1757 530 or, for example, in the form of so-called toilet shower stones which are hung in the toilet bowl, but also in the form of candle-like structures or the like to use.
Der Erfindung liegt die Aufgabe zugrunde, unter Berücksichtigung des bestehenden Bedürfnisses, geruchsverbessernde Materialien einzusetzen, das bekannte Befestigungselement dahingehend weiterzubilden, daß der zwangsläufig vorhandene voluminöse Sockel einem weiteren Anwendungszweck zugeführt werden kann.The invention is based on the object, taking into account the existing need to use odor-improving materials, to further develop the known fastening element in such a way that the inevitably existing voluminous base can be used for a further application.
Erfindungsgemäß wird diese Aufgabe dadurch gelöst, daß der Sockel als Hohlkörper ausgebildet ist; daß die dem Haken o. dergl. zugewandte Vorderwand des Sockels o. dergl. mit Durchbrüchen versehen ist; und daß in dem Hohlraum des Sockels o. dergl. ein geruchsabsorbierendes Material angeordnet ist.According to the invention this object is achieved in that the base is designed as a hollow body; that the front wall of the base or the like facing the hook or the like is provided with openings; and that an odor-absorbing material is arranged in the cavity of the base or the like.
Eine bevorzugte Ausführungsform der Erfindung sieht vor, daß an der Oberseite des Hohlraumes des Sockels ein Schlitz zum Auswechseln des geruchsabsorbierenden Materials angeordnet ist.A preferred embodiment of the invention provides that a slot for replacing the odor-absorbing material is arranged on the top of the cavity of the base.
Weiterhin kann vorgesehen sein, daß das geruchsabsorbierende Material einen Trägerkörper aus Vlies o. dergl. aufweist, der mit einer geruchsabsorbierenden Substanz imprägniert ist.Furthermore, it can be provided that the odor-absorbing material has a carrier body made of fleece or the like, which is impregnated with an odor-absorbing substance.
Auch kann erfindungsgemäß vorgesehen sein, daß das geruchsabsorbierende Material einen Farbindikator aufweist.It can also be provided according to the invention that the odor-absorbing material has a color indicator.
Die Erfindung sieht weiterhin vor, daß die Durchbrüche der Vorderwand des Sockels als Schlitze ausgebildet sind.The invention further provides that the openings of the front wall of the base are designed as slots.
Schließlich kann erfindungsgemäß auch vorgesehen sein, daß die Durchbrüche im Nicht-Gebrauchszustand des Befestigungselementes durch eine luftundurchlässige Folie o. dergl. verschlossen sind.Finally, it can also be provided according to the invention that the openings are closed by an air-impermeable film or the like when the fastening element is not in use.
Der Erfindung liegt die überraschende Erkenntnis zugrunde, daß es gelingt, den verhältnismäßig voluminösen Sockel bekannter selbstklebender Befestigungselemente o. dergl. dadurch nutzbar zu machen, daß der Sockel als Hohlkörper ausgebildet und in seinen Hohlraum ein geruchsabsorbierendes Material, vorzugsweise in Form eines vliesartigen Trägerkörpers, der mit einer geruchsabsorbierenden Substanz getränkt ist, eingeführt wird. Vorzugsweise kann das geruchsabsorbierende Material dabei auswechselbar, wie oben beschrieben, ausgebildet sein. Weist das geruchsabsorbierende Material, wie eine besondere Ausführungsform der Erfindung vorsieht, einen Farbindikator auf, so läßt sich durch die Durchbrüche hindurch für den Benutzer erkennen, wann die geruchsabsorbierende Substanz im wesentlichen verbraucht ist, so daß dann das geruchsabsorbierende Material ausgewechselt werden kann. Selbstverständlich ist der Ausdruck »geruchsabsorbierendes Material« im weitesten Sinne zu verstehen und umfaßt Substanzen mannigfacher Art, soweit sie nur geeignet sind, die Raumatmosphäre zu beeinflussen. Beispielsweise könnten auch Insektizide o. dergl. in derartiger Weise eingesetzt werden, ohne daß dies aus dem Erfindungsgedanken herausführen würde.The invention is based on the surprising finding that it is possible to use the relatively voluminous base of known self-adhesive fastening elements or the like in that the base is designed as a hollow body and an odor-absorbing material, preferably in the form of a fleece-like carrier body, in its cavity is impregnated with an odor absorbing substance. The odor-absorbing material can preferably be designed to be exchangeable, as described above. If, as a particular embodiment of the invention provides, the odor-absorbing material has a color indicator, it can be recognized through the openings through the user when the odor-absorbing substance has essentially been consumed, so that the odor-absorbing material can then be replaced. Of course, the term "odor-absorbing material" is to be understood in the broadest sense and includes substances of various kinds, insofar as they are only suitable for influencing the room atmosphere. For example, insecticides or the like could also be used in such a way without this leading out of the inventive concept.
