Abstract

Netting made of threads (3) or wires for fences and/or games, which is covered, as an information carrier for each item of information, only on one of its two visible sides I, III. The covering (6) for each thread (3) or wire extends up to a maximum of a theoretical middle surface (7) of the netting, which separates the netting into two halves of the thread (3) or wires which, as the case may be, are visible only from one side I or III.

Description

Fadennetzwerk für Zäune und/oder SpieleThread network for fences and / or games Stand der TechnikState of the art

Die Erfindung geht von einem Netzwerk aus nach der Gattung des Oberbegriffes des Hauptanspruchs wie z.B. in dem Dokument "Tennis, Nr 9, 1. Mai 1978, Seite 23" beschrieben. Derartige Fadennetzwerke können auch entweder als Spielfelder trennende aber transparente Flächen, weshalb auch häufig von Netzspielen wie beispielsweise Tennis die Rede ist, oder können als Territorien abgrenzende Mittel, die das Überschreiten von einem zum anderen Territorium hindern sollen, wie beispielsweise die Zuschauer von den Fußballern trennende, natürlich die Sicht nicht behindernde Schutzzäune dienen. Solche Netzwerke können auch als Schutz für den Zuschauer dienen, z.B. gegen fliegende Teile wie Bälle, Sportgeräte und dergleichen. In jedem Fall weisen diese Flächennetzwerke Abmessungen auf, die zweckentsprechend sind, wobei das Netzwerk meist von jeder seiner beiden Flächenseiten betrachtbar ist, ohne daß dadurch die weitergehende Sicht durch das Netzwerk gehindert werden würde. Im übrigen ist der Verwender derartiger Netzwerke bemüht, einerseits das Netzwerk in ausreichendem Maße als solches _ beispielsweise als Trennfläche _ erkennbar zu haben und andererseits zu vermeiden, daß das Netzwerk die Sicht durch das Netzwerk hindurch behindert.The invention is based on a network according to the preamble of the main claim as described, for example, in the document "Tennis, No. 9, May 1, 1978, page 23". Such thread networks can also either separate but separate areas as playing fields, which is why there is often talk of net games such as tennis, or can serve as territorial boundaries that are intended to prevent the crossing from one territory to another, such as separating the spectators from the footballers , of course, not to obstruct the view protective fences. Such networks can also serve as protection for the viewer, for example against flying parts such as balls, sports equipment and the like. In any case, these area networks have dimensions that are appropriate, the network mostly from each of its two area sides can be viewed without the further view being hindered by the network. In addition, the user of such networks endeavors, on the one hand, to have the network sufficiently recognizable as such, for example as a separating surface, and on the other hand to avoid the network from obstructing the view through the network.

Vorteile der ErfindungAdvantages of the invention

Das erfindungsgemäße Netzwerk mit den kennzeichnenden Merkmalen des Hauptanspruchs hat demgegenüber den Vorteil, daß es als Informationsträger verwendbar ist, beispielsweise in der Werbung, da der durch einen Farbstoff beschichtete Flächenabschnitt immer auf einer Flächenseite des Netzwerkes erkennbar ist. Auf der Rückseite des Netzwerkes hingegen ist dieses nur in seiner ursprünglichen Farbgebung, nämlich dem Farbton des Grundmaterials, wie beispielsweise einem Textilgarn, erkennbar.The network according to the invention with the characterizing features of the main claim has the advantage that it can be used as an information carrier, for example in advertising, since the surface section coated by a dye is always recognizable on one surface side of the network. On the back of the network, on the other hand, it can only be recognized in its original color, namely the color of the base material, such as a textile yarn.

Der Grund, warum bisher derartige Netzwerke für Informationszwecke nur teilweise eingesetzt wurden, beruht unter anderem auf dem Grundsatz, daß bei einem normal eingefärbten Netzwerk die beiden Flächenseiten spiegelsymmetrische Darstellungen des eingefärbten Flächenabschnitts aufweisen, so daß beispielsweise bei der Verwendung einer Schrift als Werbemittel diese nur von der einen Flächenseite aus lesbar, hingegen auf der Rückseite spiegelverkehrt ist.The reason why such networks have so far only been used partially for information purposes is based, among other things, on the principle that, in the case of a normally colored network, the two surface sides have mirror-symmetrical representations of the colored surface section, so that, for example, when a font is used as an advertising medium, this only from one side of the surface is legible, while the reverse is mirror-inverted.

Die Erfindung ermöglicht vorteilhafterweise windempfindliche Leuchtreklame an hohen Gebäuden, Transparente an beispielsweise für Rennen vorgesehenen Straßen oder auch Fahrbahnen überquerende Werbebahnen durch windschlüpfrige Netze zu ersetzen.The invention advantageously makes it possible to replace wind-sensitive neon signs on tall buildings, banners on streets intended for racing, for example, or also advertising webs crossing roads by wind-slippery networks.

Nach einer vorteilhaften Ausgestaltung der Erfindung wird die Farbschicht durch Aufsprühen gewonnen. Beim Auftragen des Farbstoffes kann in einfacher Weise auf das Netz eine Schablone gelegt werden, und der Farbstoff kann so auf die eine Seite der Netzfläche und damit der Fäden aufgetragen werden.According to an advantageous embodiment of the invention, the color layer is obtained by spraying. When the dye is applied, a stencil can be placed on the net in a simple manner, and the dye can thus be applied to one side of the net surface and thus the threads.

Nach einer weiteren Ausgestaltung der Erfindung kann die Schicht aus durch Lösungsmittel auswaschbarem Material bestehen, so daß der Informationscharakter ohne Entfernen des Netzes oder Zerstörung des Netzes geändert werden kann.According to a further embodiment of the invention, the layer can consist of solvent-washable material, so that the information character can be changed without removing the network or destroying the network.

Nach einer zusätzlichen Ausgestaltung der Erfindung kann der Farbstoff aus phosphoreszierendem Material bestehen. Hierdurch wird erreicht, daß die Information auch nach Ausschalten einer Beleuchtung oder in den Abend- und Nachtstunden von sich aus weiter leuchtet.According to an additional embodiment of the invention, the dye can consist of phosphorescent material. This ensures that the information continues to shine by itself even after switching off a lighting or in the evening and night.

Der Faden hat einen Mindestdurchmesser von 1 mm, so daß die beschichtete Fläche entsprechend gut erkennbar ist. Die Netzwerkmaschenweite weist mindestens 30 mm auf, so daß trotz Beschichtung eine gute Transparenz erhalten bleibt.The thread has a minimum diameter of 1 mm, so that the coated surface can be easily recognized accordingly. The mesh size is at least 30 mm, so that good transparency is retained despite the coating.

Weitere Vorteile und vorteilhafte Ausgestaltungen der Erfindung sind der nachfolgenden Beschreibung, der Zeichnung und den Ansprüchen entnehmbar.Further advantages and advantageous embodiments of the invention can be found in the following description, the drawing and the claims.

Zeichnungdrawing

Ein Ausführungsbeispiel des Gegenstandes der Erfindung ist in der Zeichnung dargestellt und wird im Folgenden näher beschrieben. Es zeigen:

  • Figur 1 ein Flächennetzwerk mit Sicht nach Pfeil I in Fig. 2 auf die eine Flächenseite, die eine abschnittsweise Beschichtung aufweist und
  • Figur 2 einen Schnitt nach Linie II.II in Fig. 1 durch zwei Fäden dieses Netzwerkes in vergrößertem Maßstab.
An embodiment of the object of the invention is shown in the drawing and is described in more detail below. Show it:
  • 1 shows a surface network with a view according to arrow I in FIG. 2 on the one side of the surface which has a coating in sections and
  • Figure 2 shows a section along line II.II in Fig. 1 by two threads of this network on an enlarged scale.

Beschreibung des AusführungsbeispielsDescription of the embodiment

In Fig. 1 ist ein einfaches Netz, wie es beispielsweise auf dem Tennisplatz verwendet wird, dargestellt, bei dem ein Flächengebilde 1, das nur ausschnittsweise dargestellt ist, durch eine Anzahl von Maschen 2 gebildet wird, wobei die Fäden 3 durch Knoten 4 diese Maschen 2 rechteckig oder wenn verzogen, rhombusartig begrenzen. Ein derartiges Fadennetzwerk kann geknüpft sein, wie es meist bei Tennisnetzen der Fall ist, es kann aber auch für andere Verwendungen einstückig aus Kunststoff gestanzt oder gespritzt sein.In Fig. 1, a simple net, as used for example on the tennis court, is shown, in which a flat structure 1, which is only shown in part, is formed by a number of stitches 2, the threads 3 by knots 4 of these stitches 2 Rectangular or if warped, delimit like a rhombus. Such a thread network can be knotted, as is usually the case with tennis nets, but it can also be stamped or molded in one piece from plastic for other uses.

In Fig. 1 sind einige Netzfäden 5 gestrichelt dargestellt, wodurch eine Information auf dem Flächennetzwerk entsteht. Die gestrichelt dargestellten Fäden sind, im Unterschied zu den übrigen Fäden, mit einem Farbstoff beschichtet.In Fig. 1 some network threads 5 are shown in dashed lines, whereby information is generated on the area network. In contrast to the other threads, the threads shown in dashed lines are coated with a dye.

In Fig. 2 sind diese Fäden 5 in vergrößertem Maßstab und im Schnitt dargestellt, wobei der Kernfaden 3 der gleiche wie beim Netzwerk in Fig. 1 ist und nur die eine der durch Pfeil I dargestellte Sicht zugewandte Hälfte des Fadens mit einem Farbstoff 6 beschichtet ist. Der Pfeil I gibt diese Sichtrichtung an, durch die die Draufsicht in Fig. 1 entsteht, während der Pfeil III die Rückseitenansicht angibt. Wenn der Betrachter das Fadennetzwerk gemäß Pfeil III betrachtet, so kann er die Farbschicht 6 nicht wahrnehmen und entsprechend auch nicht die Information 5, wie sie in Fig. 1 dargestellt ist. Für ihn zeigt sich das Netzwerk ohne Information. Natürlich kann eine entsprechende Beschichtung der gleichen Information auf dieser, der Richtung III zugewandten, Netzfläche vorgesehen sein, die dann aber nur von dieser Seite III aus sichtbar ist. Durch die beiden Sichtseiten I und III wird das Flächengebilde 1 in zwei Hälften geteilt,durch die eine gedachte strichpunktiert dargestellte Mittelfläche 7 verläuft.2, these threads 5 are shown on an enlarged scale and in section, the core thread 3 being the same as in the network in FIG. 1 and only one half of the thread facing the view shown by arrow I being coated with a dye 6 . The arrow I indicates this direction of view, through which the top view in FIG. 1 is created, while the arrow III indicates the rear view. If the viewer looks at the thread network according to arrow III, then he cannot perceive the color layer 6 and accordingly also not the information 5, as is shown in FIG. 1. For him, the network shows no information. Of course, a corresponding coating of the same information can be provided on this network surface, which faces direction III, but which is then only visible from this side III. The flat structure 1 is divided into two halves by the two visible sides I and III, through which an imaginary middle surface 7, shown in dash-dot lines, runs.
