Description

Die Erfindung betrifft einen Geldbeutel nach dem Oberbegriff des Patentanspruchs 1.The invention relates to a wallet according to the preamble of claim 1.

Es sind bereits Beutel mit einer Beleuchtung für das Beutelinnere bekannt. Bei einer bekannten alten Ausführungsform (CH Patentschrift 609 847) wird beim Oeffnen des_Beutels eine im Innern des Beutels angeordnete Beleuchtung automatisch eingeschaltet und beim Schiiessen des Beutels automatisch ausgeschaltet. Da bei jedem Oeffnen die Beleuchtungsvorrichtung eingeschaltet wird und aus Platzgründen nur verhältnismässig kleine Batterien verwendet werden können, ist ein häufiger Ersatz entladener Batterien erforderlich.Bags with lighting for the inside of the bag are already known. In a known old embodiment (CH patent specification 609 847), when the bag is opened, a lighting arranged inside the bag is automatically switched on and is switched off automatically when the bag is closed. Since the lighting device is switched on with each opening and only relatively small batteries can be used for reasons of space, a frequent replacement of discharged batteries is necessary.

Weiter ist ein Kosmetik-Etui mit festen Wänden bekannt (US Patentschrift 1 993 250), an welchem ein Deckel mit einem Scharnier gelagert ist. Durch zusätzliches Schwenken des geöffneten Deckels wird ein Kontakt betätitgt und damit eine Lampe eingeschaltet. Dies setzt aber eine definierte Schwenkachse des Deckels zum Kontakt voraus. Auch bei einem weiteren bekannten Etui (US Patenschrift 2 258 542) mit festen Wänden weist der Deckel ebenfalls eine definierte Schwenkachse und im Bereich derselben angeordnete Schaltmittel auf. Beide Lösungen sind jedoch bei einem Beutel mit flexiblen Wänden und einer nicht genau definierten Schwenkachse nicht anwendbar, da sonst die erforderliche Flexibilität des Beutels im Schwenkbereich der Veschlussklappe nicht mehr gewährleistet wäre.A cosmetic case with fixed walls is also known (US Pat. No. 1,993,250), on which a lid with a hinge is mounted. By additionally pivoting the opened cover, a contact is actuated and a lamp is switched on. However, this requires a defined pivot axis of the cover for contact. In another known case (US Pat. No. 2,258,542) with fixed walls, the cover also has a defined pivot axis and switching means arranged in the area thereof. However, both solutions cannot be used with a bag with flexible walls and a pivot axis that is not precisely defined, since otherwise the required flexibility of the bag in the pivoting area of the closure flap would no longer be guaranteed.

Als Beutel werden in diesem Zusammenhang Geldbeutel und Handtaschen verstanden, deren schwenkbare Verschlussklappe einen integralen Teil des Beutels bildet.In this context, bags are understood to mean purses and handbags, the pivoting closure flap of which forms an integral part of the bag.

Der Erfindung liegt deshalb die Aufgabe zugrunde, einen Geldbeutel nach dem Oberbegriff des Patentanspruches 1 so auszugestalten, dass auch bei eingebauter Beleuchtungsvorrichtung die Flexibilität der Verschlussklappe des Beutels erhalten bleibt und trotzdem die Beleuchtungsvorrichtung nach Bedarf eingeschaltet werden kann.The invention is therefore based on the object of designing a purse according to the preamble of claim 1 such that the flexibility of the closure flap of the bag is retained even when the lighting device is installed and the lighting device can nevertheless be switched on as required.

Diese Aufgabe wird gemäss der Erfindung durch die kennzeichnenden Merkmale des Patentanspruches 1 gelöst.This object is achieved according to the invention by the characterizing features of claim 1.

An embodiment of the invention is shown in the drawing and described below. Show it :
  • 1 is a plan view of a closed wallet with the position of a lighting device shown in broken lines,
  • 2 shows a section of the purse according to FIG. 1 along the line 11-11 in FIG. 1,
  • Fig. 3 is a plan view of a lighting unit.

  • Fig. 6 is a schematic representation of the different switching positions of the switching spring of the lighting unit.

Der in Fig. 1 dargestellte Geldbeutel 1 weist eine Verschlussklappe 2 auf, die bei geschlossenem Geldbeutel über der Vorderseite 3 des Geldbeutels 1 liegt. An der Rückseite 4 des Geldbeutels 1 ist eine Beleuchtungseinheit 5 angeordnet, die beispielsweise in einer Tasche an der Innenseite der Rückseite 4 vorgesehen sein kann. Bei geschlossenem Geldbeutel sind die beiden Seitenwände 6 in Falten gelegt. In Fig. 1 sind die Beleuchtungseinheit 5 und die Falten 6 gestrichelt dargestellt. Die Beleuchtungseinheit 5, siehe Fig. 3, weist ein Gehäuse 7 zur Aufnahme von Batterien, einer Lampe und elektrischer Leitungen auf. Das Gehäuse 7 weist einen sich über einen flachen Rand 9 erhebenden Sockel 8 mit einer Lampenfassung 10 auf. An dem der Lampenfassung 10 gegenüberliegenden Rand sind zwei Erhebungen 11 vorgesehen, die Teil eines Scharniers sind, mit welchem eine Schaltfeder 12 schwenkbar am Gehäuse 7 gelagert ist. Die Schaltfeder 12 kann in den durch die Pfeile A und E begrenzten Bereich geschwenkt werden.The wallet 1 shown in FIG. 1 has a closure flap 2 which, when the wallet is closed, lies over the front 3 of the wallet 1. A lighting unit 5 is arranged on the rear side 4 of the purse 1 and can be provided, for example, in a pocket on the inside of the rear side 4. When the wallet is closed, the two side walls 6 are folded. In Fig. 1, the lighting unit 5 and the folds 6 are shown in dashed lines. The lighting unit 5, see FIG. 3, has a housing 7 for accommodating batteries, a lamp and electrical lines. The housing 7 has a base 8 with a lamp socket 10 rising above a flat edge 9. On the edge opposite the lamp holder 10, two elevations 11 are provided, which are part of a hinge with which a switching spring 12 is pivotally mounted on the housing 7. The switching spring 12 can be pivoted into the area delimited by the arrows A and E.

Die Schaltfeder 12 ist in einer Führung 13 geführt, die an der Innenseite der Verschlussklappe 2 befestigt ist. Die Führung 13 weist über die Schaltfeder 12 gebogene Randstege 14 auf, die an beiden Längsseiten Schlitze bilden, in denen die Schaltfeder 12 geführt ist. Die Schaltfeder 12 weist eine Ausnehmung 15 auf, die mit geringem Abstand von dem freien Rand 16 der Schaltfeder 12 entfernt ist. In der Führung 13 steht ein Nocken 17 vor, der in Fig. 3 ausserhalb der Ausnehmung 15 liegt. In dieser Stellung kann die Schaltfeder 12 nur dann in den Schwenkbereich A geschwenkt werden, wenn der Nocken 7 sich in der Ausnehmung 15 befindet. Der Uebergang des Nockens 17 von der Ausnehmung 15 in die in Fig. 3 dargestellte Lage und zurück erfolgt unter Aufbringung einer gewissen Kraft. Die Ausnehmung 15 und der Nocken 17 dienen dazu, die Schaltfeder 12 in dem Schwenkbereich E zu halten. Da die Führung 13 mit der Verschlussklappe 2 verbunden ist, bedeutet dies, dass die Verschlussklappe 2 durch den Nocken 17 in der in Fig. 3 gezeichneten Stellung offengehalten wird und somit für das Offenhalten der Verschlussklappe keine Hand erforderlich ist.The switching spring 12 is guided in a guide 13 which is fastened to the inside of the closure flap 2. The guide 13 has edge webs 14 which are bent over the switching spring 12 and which form slots on both longitudinal sides in which the switching spring 12 is guided. The switching spring 12 has a recess 15 which is spaced a short distance from the free edge 16 of the switching spring 12. In the guide 13 there is a cam 17 which in FIG. 3 lies outside the recess 15. In this position, the switching spring 12 can only be pivoted into the pivoting range A when the cam 7 is located in the recess 15. The transition of the cam 17 from the recess 15 into the position shown in FIG. 3 and back takes place with the application of a certain force. The recess 15 and the cam 17 serve to hold the switching spring 12 in the swivel range E. Since the guide 13 is connected to the closure flap 2, this means that the closure flap 2 is held open by the cam 17 in the position shown in FIG. 3 and therefore no hand is required to keep the closure flap open.

Auf dem Sockel 8 ist ein elektrisch leitendes Plättchen 18 mittels einer Schraube 19 befestigt und bildet die elektrische Verbindung zwischen den beiden unter dem Plättchen 18 nebeneinanderliegenden Batterien in Form von Knopfzellen 20, 21, siehe Fig. 5. Mit der Schaltfeder 12 wird. wie bereits der Name besagt, die Beleuchtung ein- und ausgeschaltet. Dazu werden Kontakte in dem Scharnierbereich zwischen den Erhebungen 11 angeordnet, so dass durch Schwenken der Schaltfeder 12 die Kontakte entweder überbrückt oder unterbrochen werden.An electrically conductive plate 18 is fastened on the base 8 by means of a screw 19 and forms the electrical connection between the two batteries lying next to one another under the plate 18 in the form of button cells 20, 21, see FIG. 5. As the name suggests, the lighting is switched on and off. For this purpose, contacts are arranged in the hinge area between the elevations 11, so that the contacts are either bridged or interrupted by pivoting the switching spring 12.

In Fig. 5 ist der elektrische Schaltkreis der Beleuchtungseinheit 5 dargestellt. Die Batterien 20, 21 sind in Serie geschaltet. Die Verbindung zwischen den Batterien 20. 21 übernimmt das Plättchen 18. Auf der dem Plättchen 18 gegenüberliegenden Seite der Batterien 20, 21 sind Leiterelemente vorgesehen, die sich von den Batterien 20, 21 gegen den Scharnierbereich der Schaltfeder 12 erstrecken und dort zwei Kontakte 22, 23 bilden. Hierbei ist die Batterie 20 mit dem Kontakt 22 über einen schienenförmigen Leiter 24 verbunden, der sich von der Unterseite der Batterie 20 in Form eines Winkels gegen den Kontakt 22 erstreckt. Die Batterie 21 weist einen sich von der Unterseite der Batterie 21 gegen eine Lampe 26 erstreckenden Leiter 25 auf, dessen Ende mit einem Draht 27 der Lampe 26 verbunden, z. B. gelötet, ist.5, the electrical circuit of the lighting unit 5 is shown. The batteries 20, 21 are connected in series. The connection between the batteries 20, 21 takes over the plate 18. On the side of the batteries 20, 21 opposite the plate 18, conductor elements are provided which extend from the batteries 20, 21 against the hinge region of the switching spring 12 and form two contacts 22, 23 there . Here, the battery 20 is connected to the contact 22 via a rail-shaped conductor 24, which extends from the underside of the battery 20 in the form of an angle against the contact 22. The battery 21 has a conductor 25 extending from the underside of the battery 21 against a lamp 26, the end of which is connected to a wire 27 of the lamp 26, e.g. B. is soldered.

Der zweite Draht 28 der Lampe 26 ist mit einer Leiterschiene 29 verbunden, die sich in den Scharnierbereich der Schaltfeder 12 erstreckt und den zweiten Kontakt 23 bildet, der zum Einschalten der Lampe 26 durch die Schaltfeder 12 mit dem Kontakt 22 verbunden wird.The second wire 28 of the lamp 26 is connected to a conductor rail 29 which extends into the hinge region of the switching spring 12 and forms the second contact 23 which is connected to the contact 22 by the switching spring 12 when the lamp 26 is switched on.

In Fig. 6 ist der Scharnierbereich der Schaltfeder 12 in drei Schwenklagen der Schaltfeder 12 dargestellt. Links in der Zeichnung ist die Lage bei geschlossenem Verschlussdeckel, in der Mitte beim Uebergang vom Schwenkbereich A in den Schwenkbereich E und rechts am Ende des Schwenkbereichs E dargestellt. Die Schaltfeder 12 ist hierbei im Scharnierbereich mit einem zylinderförmigen Lagerteil 30 versehen und mit diesem auf einer in den Erhebungen 11 gelagerten Welle schwenkbar gelagert. Im Scharnierbereich sind weiter zwei Kontaktlappen 31 angeformt, die mit den Kontakten 22, 23 zusammenwirken.6, the hinge area of the switching spring 12 is shown in three pivot positions of the switching spring 12. The position on the left in the drawing when the closure cover is closed is shown in the middle at the transition from swivel area A to swivel area E and on the right at the end of swivel area E. The switching spring 12 is provided in the hinge area with a cylindrical bearing part 30 and is pivotally mounted with this on a shaft mounted in the elevations 11. Two contact tabs 31, which interact with the contacts 22, 23, are also formed in the hinge area.

Die Beleuchtungseinheit 5 funktioniert wie folgt :

  • Befindet sich die Schaltfeder 12 in der in Fig. 6 links dargestellten Stellung, sind die Kontaktlappen 31 von den Kontakten 22, 23 entfernt, so dass der elektrische Kreis unterbrochen wird und die Lampe 26 nicht leuchtet. In der Stellung in der Mitte von Fig. 6 hat die Schaltfeder 12 den Schwenkbereich A zurückgelegt und befindet sich unmittelbar am Uebergang zum Schwenkbereich E. In diesem Moment findet der Kontakt der Kontaktlappen 31 mit den Kontakten 22, 23 statt, und die Lampe 26 leuchtet auf. Innerhalb des Schwenkbereichs E sind die Kontakte 22, 23 durch die Kontaktlappen 31 überbrückt, so dass in diesem Bereich die Lampe 26 eingeschaltet ist und den Innenraum des Geldbeutels 1 beleuchtet. Für den Geldbeutel ergibt sich damit die Möglichkeit, die Verschlussklappe 2 mit der Schaltfeder 12 entweder in den Schwenkbereich A oder in den Schwenkbereich E zu bewegen. Wird die Verschlussklappe 2 nur im Schwenkbereich A bewegt, wird die Beleuchtung nicht eingeschaltet. Wird jedoch z. B. bei Dunkelheit die Beleuchtung benötigt, ist lediglich die Verschlussklappe 2 in den Schwenkbereich E zu bewegen. Ist der Nocken 17 vorgesehen, kann der Geldbeutel 1 in offener Lage arretiert werden, womit die Handhabung des Geldbeutels erleichtert wird.
The lighting unit 5 works as follows:
  • If the switching spring 12 is in the position shown on the left in FIG. 6, the contact tabs 31 are removed from the contacts 22, 23, so that the electrical circuit is interrupted and the lamp 26 does not light up. In the position in the middle of FIG. 6, the switching spring 12 has covered the pivoting range A and is located directly at the transition to the pivoting range E. At this moment the contact tabs 31 contact the contacts 22, 23 and the lamp 26 lights up on. Within the swivel range E, the contacts 22, 23 are bridged by the contact tabs 31, so that the lamp 26 is switched on in this area and illuminates the interior of the purse 1. This gives the wallet the option of moving the closure flap 2 with the switching spring 12 either into the pivoting range A or into the pivoting range E. If the closure flap 2 is only moved in the swivel range A, the lighting is not switched on. However, z. B. in the dark the lighting is required, only the flap 2 is to be moved into the pivoting range E. If the cam 17 is provided, the wallet 1 can be locked in the open position, which simplifies the handling of the wallet.

Wird der Geldbeutel 1 geschlossen, wird die Verschlussklappe 2 in jedem Fall in den Schwenkbereich A geschwenkt, womit die Beleuchtung selbsttätig und zuverlässig ausgeschaltet wird. Das Einschalten der Beleuchtung ist dagegen dem Benützer überlassen, und er kann diese je nach Bedarf einschalten oder ausgeschaltet lassen.If the wallet 1 is closed, the closure flap 2 is pivoted into the swiveling range A, whereby the lighting is switched off automatically and reliably. On the other hand, switching on the lighting is up to the user, who can switch it on or off as required.

Die in Fig. 6 dargestellte Ausbildung des Scharnierbereichs der Schaltfeder 12 kann auch in anderer Weise erfolgen, z. B. dadurch, dass anstelle der Kontaktlappen 31 ein Exzenter vorgesehen wird, dessen Form so gestaltet ist, dass das Ueberbrücken der Kontakte 22. 23 und damit das Einschalten der Beleuchtung nur im Schwenkbereich E erfolgt.The formation of the hinge area of the switching spring 12 shown in Fig. 6 can also be done in a different manner, for. B. in that instead of the contact tab 31 an eccentric is provided, the shape of which is designed such that the bridging of the contacts 22, 23 and thus the switching on of the lighting takes place only in the pivoting range E.

Das Gehäuse 7 wird zweckmässig aus einem Kunststoff hergestellt: die Leiter 24, 25 und 29 sind aus einem elektrisch leitenden Material hergestellt und werden in entsprechende Vertiefungen im Gehäuse 7 eingelegt. Dann werden die Batterien 20, 21 eingesetzt und diese durch das Kontaktplättchen 18 gesichert. Steckt die Beleuchtungseinheit 5 in einer Tasche in der Rückseite 4 des Geldbeutels 1, können an derselben auch ohne Entfernen aus der Tasche 1, die Batterien 20, 21 ausgewechselt werden, indem das Kontaktplättchen 18 gelöst wird. Nach dem Auswechseln der Batterien 20, 21 wird das Kontaktplättchen 18 wieder aufgeschraubt, worauf die Beleuchtungseinheit 5 wieder Die Beleuchtung im Innern des Beutels 1 kann verbessert werden, wenn die Innenwände des Beutels mit einem hellen und/oder reflektierenden Material belegt werden. Dieses Material kann entweder als Schicht direkt auf mindestens einer Innenwand aufgetragen sein oder separat als Folie auf die Innenwand gelegt werden.The housing 7 is expediently made of a plastic: the conductors 24, 25 and 29 are made of an electrically conductive material and are inserted into corresponding recesses in the housing 7. Then the batteries 20, 21 are inserted and these are secured by the contact plate 18. If the lighting unit 5 is in a pocket in the back 4 of the purse 1, the batteries 20, 21 can be replaced on the same without removing it from the pocket 1 by loosening the contact plate 18. After replacing the batteries 20, 21, the contact plate 18 is screwed on again, whereupon the lighting unit 5 again. The lighting inside the bag 1 can be improved if the inner walls of the bag are covered with a light and / or reflective material. This material can either be applied as a layer directly on at least one inner wall or placed separately on the inner wall as a film.
