Description

Die Erfindung betrifft ein Band zum Bilden einer Zierblume, Zierschleife od.dgl., mit zwei weitgehend lose aufeinander­liegenden, jedoch an beabstandeten Stellen aneinander befe­stigten Außenbändern von vorzugsweise gleicher Breite und mit wenigstens einem dazwischen und zwischen den Befestigungsstel­len durchlaufenden Zugband, welches am Ende des Bandes mit we­nigstens einem der Außenbänder fest verbunden ist, im übrigen aber relativ zu den Außenbändern bewegbar ist.The invention relates to a tape for forming an ornamental flower, decorative bow or the like. With two largely loosely lying but attached to each other at spaced-apart outer straps, preferably of the same width, and with at least one traction belt running between and between the fastening points, which at the end of the belt is fixedly connected to at least one of the outer bands, but is otherwise movable relative to the outer bands.

Derartige Bänder sind in vielfältigen Formen und Ausgestaltun­gen bereits bekannt. Lösungen mit einem einzigen Zugband die­nen dabei zur Fertigung einer Zierblume oder auch Schleife, während zwei Zugbänder die Möglichkeit schaffen, gleichzeitig zum Umbinden eines Paketes zur Verfügung zu stehen, welches dann mit dem entsprechenden Zierelement dekoriert ist.Such tapes are already known in a variety of forms and configurations. Solutions with a single drawstring are used to manufacture an ornamental flower or loop, while two drawstrings make it possible to simultaneously bind a package, which is then decorated with the appropriate decorative element.

In der Regel sind dabei die beiden Außenbänder punktweise oder streifenförmig verklebt, sofern nicht separate Führungsmittel für die Zugbänder an den Außenbändern angebracht sind. Diese Verklebungsstellen lassen dabei im Mittelbereich der Außenbän­der einen Abstand für das oder die Zugbänder frei. Jeweils zwi­schen zwei Befestigungsstellen können dann die Außenbänder aus­gewölbt und ausgebogen werden, wenn das oder die Zugbänder re­lativ zu den Außenbändern gezogen werden.As a rule, the two outer bands are glued in spots or strips, unless separate guide means for the tension bands are attached to the outer bands. These bond points leave a space for the drawstring (s) in the central area of the outer tapes. The outer straps can then be arched out and bent out between two fastening points if the pull strap or straps are pulled relative to the outer straps.

Die Herstellung insbesondere dieser Befestigungsstellen ist jedoch aufwendig und insbesondere zeitaufwendig. Es ist beim Verkleben erforderlich, einen Klebstoff an den jeweils vorge­sehenen Befestigungsstellen einzubringen und die Außenbänder durch eine entsprechende Presse mit zwei gegeneinanderdrük­kenden Werkzeugen zu vereinigen. Im Falle einer Verschweißung der Befestigungsstellen müssen die beiden Werkzeuge nicht nur eine gewisse Zeit einwirken, sondern auch die erforderliche Schweißwärme aufbringen. Es sind also präzise gegeneinander zu führende Werkzeuge erforderlich, die außerdem eine erheb­liche Einwirkzeit benötigen.However, the production of these fastening points in particular is complex and in particular time-consuming. When gluing, it is necessary to apply an adhesive to the respective fastening points and to combine the outer bands with a corresponding press using two tools that press against each other. If the fastening points are welded, the two tools must not only act for a certain time, but also apply the required welding heat. Tools that must be precisely guided against each other are therefore required, which also require a considerable exposure time.

Um durch diese Verbindungsstellen keine zu starke Versteifung der Außenbänder zu bewirken, die beim Zusammenziehen die Ver­formung der Außenbänder behindern könnten, hat man angestrebt, diese Verbindungsstellen möglichst klein und nahezu punktför­mig zu gestalten, was jedoch wiederum den Herstellungsaufwand und insbesondere das Erfordernis an Präzision vergrößert und bei nicht genügend langer Einwirkzeit dazu führen kann, daß diese sehr kleinflächigen Verbindungsstellen beim Gebrauch versagen und zu einer Trennung der beiden Außenbänder führen.In order not to cause excessive stiffening of the outer bands through these connection points, which could hinder the deformation of the outer bands when contracted, efforts have been made to make these connection points as small and almost punctiform as possible, which in turn increases the manufacturing effort and in particular the requirement for precision and If the contact time is not long enough, these very small-area connection points fail during use and lead to a separation of the two outer bands.

Der Erfindung liegt die Aufgabe zugrunde, ein Band der ein­gangs erwähnten Art zu schaffen, bei dessen Herstellung die beiden Außenbänder schnell und sicher an einzelnen Befesti­gungsstellen verbunden werden können, wobei die Verbindungs­stellen relativ groß und somit stabil sein dürfen und dennoch die Beweglichkeit und Biegsamkeit des gesamten Bandes auch im Bereich der Verbindungsstellen der Außenbänder nicht oder nicht wesentlich eingeschränkt ist.The invention has for its object to provide a band of the type mentioned, in the manufacture of the two outer bands can be quickly and securely connected at individual attachment points, the connection points may be relatively large and therefore stable and still the mobility and flexibility of the whole Band is not or not significantly restricted in the area of the connection points of the outer bands.

Die Lösung dieser Aufgabe besteht darin, daß an den Verbin­dungsstellen der Außenbänder diese durchsetzende Lochungen oder Stanzungen vorgesehen sind, deren aufeinanderliegende Ränder verschweißt sind. Dabei kann als Verbindungsstelle ausschließlich der Rand der Lochung oder Stanzung umlaufend verschweißt sein.The solution to this problem is that these penetrating perforations or punchings are provided at the connection points of the outer belts, the superimposed edges of which are welded. It can be used as a connection point only the edge of the perforation or punching must be welded all around.

Durch die Stanzung oder Lochung wird erreicht, daß der Ver­bindungsbereich der Außenbänder geschwächt, also beweglicher gemacht wird, während durch die Verschweißung der Ränder die­ser Lochung oder Stanzung dennoch die Verbindung der Außenbän­der und die Führung für das oder die inneren Zugbänder gebil­det und mit ausreichender Größe für eine gute Stabilität aus­gestattet werden. Die durch die Verbindung und Verschweißung erzeugte Versteifung wird dabei zunächst dadurch gering ge­halten, daß sie praktisch nur linienförmig, nämlich entlang dem Rand der Lochung oder Stanzung verläuft und außerdem durch diese Lochung oder Stanzung das gesamte Band in diesem Verbindungsbereich beweglicher und biegsamer gemacht wird, so daß die durch die Verbindung und Verschweißung erzeugte Ver­steifung aufgehoben oder sogar in diesem Bereich eine größere Beweglichkeit des Bandes geschaffen wird als in den nicht ver­bundenen Nachbarbereichen.The punching or perforation ensures that the connection area of the outer belts is weakened, that is to say made more flexible, while the welding of the edges of this perforation or punching nonetheless forms the connection of the outer belts and the guide for the inner pulling belt or belts and is of sufficient size for good stability. The stiffening created by the connection and welding is initially kept low by virtue of the fact that it runs practically only linearly, namely along the edge of the perforation or punching and, in addition, this perforation or punching makes the entire band in this connecting region more flexible and flexible, so that the stiffening produced by the connection and welding is removed or even greater flexibility of the band is created in this area than in the unconnected neighboring areas.

Ein ganz wesentlicher weiterer Vorteil der Erfindung besteht darin, daß die Verbindung der Befestigungsstellen durch Schweißen gleichzeitig mit dem Stanz- oder Lochungswerkzeug hergestellt werden kann, welches beim Durchdringen der bei­den aufeinanderliegenden Bänder diese nicht nur locht oder stanzt, sondern gleichzeitig auch verschweißen kann. Dabei wird eine wesentlich schnellere Arbeitsweise deshalb möglich, weil der Stanzhub nicht so präzise wie ein Preßhub sein muß und die Hubzeit als Einwirkzeit für das Verschweißen aus­reicht. Somit geht die Herstellung nicht nur schneller und präziser, sondern führt auch zu einem günstigeren Ergebnis, weil die Verbindungsstellen eine hohe Flexibilität erhalten.A very important further advantage of the invention is that the connection of the fastening points can be made by welding simultaneously with the punching or punching tool, which not only punches or punches them when penetrating the two strips lying one above the other, but can also weld them at the same time. A much faster way of working is possible because the punch stroke does not have to be as precise as a press stroke and the stroke time is sufficient as the exposure time for the welding. This means that production is not only faster and more precise, but also leads to a more favorable result because the connection points are highly flexible.

Ausgestaltungen der Erfindung und insbesondere Ausbildungs­möglichkeiten bezüglich der Form der Lochungen und Stanzungen sowie auch ihrer Anordnung relativ zum Längsrand des Bandes sind Gegenstand der Ansprüche 3 bis 7. Insbesondere randoffe­ne Stanzungen ergeben dabei eine gute Beweglichkeit, und die Möglichkeit, diese randoffenen Stanzungen schrägzustellen, erlaubt auch eine entsprechend gezielte Verformung der Außen­bänder beim Zusammenziehen.Embodiments of the invention and in particular training options with regard to the shape of the perforations and punchings and also their arrangement relative to the longitudinal edge of the band are the subject of claims 3 to 7. In particular, open-edge punchings result in good mobility, and the possibility of inclining these open-edge punchings also allows a correspondingly targeted deformation of the outer bands when they are pulled together.

Ferner ist eine Ausgestaltung der Erfindung dahingehend mög­lich, daß am Ende eines jeden abzutrennenden Bandabschnittes ein quer zum Bandverlauf liegender durchgestanzter Lang­schlitz vorgesehen ist, dessen Ränder verschweißt sind und an dessen Rand das oder die Zugbänder gleichzeitig ange­schweißt sind. Bei einem größeren, zunächst zusammenhängenden Vorrat von Bändern kann also die Trennstelle zum Abschneiden eines Einzelbandes ebenfalls in der erfindungsgemäßen vor­teilhaften Weise ausgestaltet sein, wobei sich gleichzeitig auch die Fixierung des oder der Zugbänder ergibt.Furthermore, an embodiment of the invention is possible in such a way that at the end of each band section to be separated there is a punched-out elongated slot lying transversely to the band course, the edges of which are welded and at the edge of which the traction band or bands are welded at the same time. In the case of a larger, initially contiguous supply of tapes, the separation point for cutting off an individual tape can also be designed in the advantageous manner according to the invention, which also results in the fixing of the tension tape or tapes.

Um zum Verschweißen der Ränder der Stanzungen keine zusätzli­chen Schweißmittel oder Klebemittel zu benötigen, können die Außenbänder und/oder das/die Zugbänder zweckmäßigerweise aus Kunststoff oder Kunststoff-Fasern bestehen, die selbst schweiß­bar sind.In order not to require any additional welding means or adhesives for welding the edges of the punchings, the outer bands and / or the tension band (s) can expediently consist of plastic or plastic fibers, which are themselves weldable.

Nachstehend ist die Erfindung mit ihren ihr als wesentlich zugehörenden Einzelheiten anhand der Zeichnung noch näher be­schrieben.The invention is described in more detail below with its details that are essential to it, using the drawing.

Es zeigt in schematisierter Darstellung:

  • Fig. 1 eine Draufsicht des Bandes im Bereich seiner zunächst noch bestehenden Verbindung zu einem Nachbarband,wo­bei die einzelnen in Längsrichtung des Bandes beab­standeten Befestigungsstellen unterschiedlich gestal­tet gezeichnet sind, um verschiedene Möglichkeiten anzudeuten,
  • Fig. 2 einen Querschnitt des Bandes gemäß der Linie II-II in Fig.1,
  • Fig. 3 einen Querschnitt des Bandes gemäß der Linie III-III in Fig. 1 sowie
  • Fig. 4 einen Querschnitt des Bandes gemäß der Linie IV-IV in Fig. 1, wobei die Dicke der Einzelteile des Bandes der besseren Übersicht wegen in den Querschnitten nach Fig. 2 bis 4 übertrieben dargestellt ist.
It shows in a schematic representation:
  • 1 is a plan view of the band in the area of its initially existing connection to a neighboring band, the individual fastening points spaced apart in the longitudinal direction of the band being drawn differently in order to indicate different possibilities,
  • 2 shows a cross section of the band along the line II-II in Fig.1,
  • Fig. 3 shows a cross section of the band along the line III-III in Fig. 1 and
  • Fig. 4 shows a cross section of the band along the line IV-IV in Fig. 1, wherein the thickness of the individual parts of the band is shown exaggerated in the cross-sections of Fig. 2 to 4 because of the better overview.

Ein im ganzen mit 1 bezeichnetes Band weist gemäß den Figuren 2 bis 4 zwei weitgehend lose aufeinanderliegende, jedoch an beabstandeten Stellen aneinander befestigte Außenbänder 2 von gleicher Breite und ein dazwischen und zwischen den Befesti­gungsstellen 3 durchlaufendes Zugband 4 auf, welches an dem Ende 5 des Bandes 1, wo sich ein nächstes Band 1 zunächst an­schließt, mit den Außenbändern 2 in noch zu beschreibender Weise fest verbunden ist, im übrigen aber relativ zu den Aus­senbändern 2 in deren Längsrichtung bewegbar ist. Dadurch kann in bekannter Weise eine Zierblume oder Zierschleife ge­bildet werden, indem die Außenbänder und das Zugband nebenein­ander an dem dem Ende 5 entgegengesetzten Ende des Bandes 1 erfaßt und dann das Zugband gezogen bzw. die Außenbänder ge­gen das Ende 5 hin zurückgeschoben werden. Aufgrund der Ab­stände zwischen den Befestigungsstellen 3 in Längsrichtung der Außenbänder 2 wölben diese sich auf und bilden so in be­kannter Weise eine Zierschleife oder Blume, falls die Befe­stigungsstellen 3 durch eine Schräglage zu verschieden gerich­teten Ausbeulungen der Außenbänder 2 führen.A band designated as a whole by 1 has, according to FIGS. 2 to 4, two largely loosely lying outer bands 2 of the same width which are fastened to one another at spaced locations and a tension band 4 which runs between and between the fastening points 3 and which is located at the end 5 of the band 1, where a next band 1 initially connects, is firmly connected to the outer bands 2 in a manner to be described, but is otherwise movable relative to the outer bands 2 in the longitudinal direction thereof. As a result, an ornamental flower or ornamental bow can be formed in a known manner, in that the outer bands and the drawstring are gripped next to one another at the end of the band 1 opposite the end 5 and then the drawstring is pulled or the outer bands are pushed back towards the end 5. Due to the distances between the fastening points 3 in the longitudinal direction of the outer bands 2, these bulge up and thus form a decorative bow or flower in a known manner if the fastening points 3 lead to differently directed bulges of the outer bands 2 due to an inclined position.

Anhand der Zeichnungen erkennt man, daß an den Verbindungs­stellen 3 der Außenbänder 2 diese durchsetzende Lochungen 6 oder Stanzungen 7 vorgesehen sind, deren aufeinanderliegende Ränder 8 verschweißt sind. Dabei können selbstverständlich auch die Lochungen 6 durch einen Stanzvorgang gebildet wer­den. Vor allem in Fig.1 ist dargestellt, daß als Verbindungs­stelle 3 jeweils ausschließlich der Rand 8 der Lochung 6 oder Stanzung 7 umlaufend verschweißt ist. Somit ergibt sich eine stabile Befestigungsstelle relativ großer Ausdehnung, die auch eine gute Führung für das Zugband 4 darstellt, ohne daß jedoch das Band 1 im Bereich der Befestigungsstellen 3 zu steif wird, weil die Lochung oder Stanzung das Band gerade besonders gut beweglich macht.From the drawings it can be seen that at the connection points 3 of the outer belts 2 these penetrating holes 6 or punchings 7 are provided, their superimposed Edges 8 are welded. The holes 6 can of course also be formed by a punching process. It is shown above all in FIG. 1 that only the edge 8 of the perforation 6 or punching 7 is welded all round as the connection point 3. This results in a stable fastening point of relatively large extension, which is also a good guide for the tension band 4, but without the band 1 in the region of the fastening points 3 becoming too stiff because the perforation or punching makes the band particularly easy to move.

Fig. 3 zeigt in Verbindung mit dem entsprechenden Teil der Fig. 1, daß beidseits des Laufbereiches für das oder die Zug­bänder 4 kreisrunde Lochungen 6 mit verschweißten Rändern 7 vorgesehen sein können, was ein besonders einfaches Stanz- und Schweißwerkzeug ergibt.Fig. 3 shows in connection with the corresponding part of FIG. 1 that 4 circular holes 6 with welded edges 7 can be provided on both sides of the running area for the or the drawstrings, which results in a particularly simple punching and welding tool.

Fig. 4 zeigt in Verbindung mit den entsprechenden Stellen der Fig. 1 eine Ausführungsform, bei welcher statt runder Lochun­gen 6 quer zum Längsrand 9 des Bandes 1 verlaufende Langlo­chungen 7 vorgesehen sind. Um dabei eine Zierblume mit unter­schiedlich orientierten Schlaufen der Außenbänder 2 bilden zu können, sind dabei die an ihren Rändern 8 verschweißten Langlochungen 7 schräg zum Bandverlauf und bevorzugt jeweils abwechselnd in unterschiedlichen Richtungen schräg angeordnet.FIG. 4 shows an embodiment in connection with the corresponding places in FIG. 1, in which instead of round perforations 6, elongated perforations 7 are provided which extend transversely to the longitudinal edge 9 of the band 1. In order to be able to form an ornamental flower with loops of the outer bands 2 oriented differently, the oblong perforations 7 welded at their edges 8 are arranged obliquely to the course of the band and preferably alternately arranged obliquely in different directions.

Fig. 4 macht durch einen entsprechenden Schnittlinienverlauf deutlich, daß entweder in sich geschlossene Langlochungen 7 oder aber randoffene Stanzungen oder Langschlitze 7 vorgese­hen sein können, deren Ränder 8 innerhalb der äußeren Begren­zung durch die Außenränder 9 des Bandes 1 mitteinander ver­schweißt sind. Diese randoffenen Langschlitze müssen nicht unbedingt schräg zum Bandverlauf stehen, sind jedoch im Aus­führungsbeispiel so angeordnet.Fig. 4 makes it clear by a corresponding section line that either self-contained elongated perforations 7 or punched or open slots 7 with open edges can be provided, the edges 8 of which are welded together within the outer boundary by the outer edges 9 of the band 1. These open-edged slots do not necessarily have to be at an angle to the band, but are arranged in this way in the exemplary embodiment.

Am Ende 5 des abzutrennenden Bandes 1 ist ein quer zum Band­verlauf liegender durchgestanzter Langschlitz 10 vorgesehen, dessen Ränder 8 wiederum verschweißt sind und an dessen Rand 8 auch das Zugband 4 gleichzeitig angeschweißt ist. Somit wird auch in diesem Bereich durch eine Stanzung gleichzeitig eine Verbindung der Außenbänder 2 und außerdem des Zugbandes 4 er­reicht. Darüberhinaus wird dadurch die Trennstelle der zu­nächst in Reihe aneinander befestigten einzelnen Zugbänder 1 markiert und vorbereitet. Es brauchen jeweils nur die Rest-­Verbindungsstege 11 in Verlängerung des Langschlitzes 10 durch­getrennt zu werden, um ein Band 1 vom anderen zu lösen.At the end 5 of the band 1 to be cut off, a punched-out elongated slot 10 is provided which lies transversely to the course of the band, the edges 8 of which are in turn welded and on the edge 8 the tension band 4 is also welded at the same time. Thus, a connection of the outer bands 2 and also of the tension band 4 is simultaneously achieved in this area by punching. In addition, this marks and prepares the separation point of the individual drawstrings 1, which are initially attached to one another in a row. Only the remaining connecting webs 11 need to be severed in the extension of the elongated slot 10 in order to detach one band 1 from the other.

Die Wahl der Form der Lochungen 6 oder Stanzungen 7 richtet sich danach, welches Zierelement geformt werden soll, welche Eigensteifigkeit vor allem die Außenbänder 2 haben und auch wie diese bemessen sind. Bei sehr schmalen Bändern mögen vor allem runde Lochungen 6 mit verschweißten Rändern 7 als Be­festigungsstellen 3 genügen, während sehr breite Bänder 1 zweckmäßigerweise mit randoffenen Schlitzen 7 versehen sein können. In der Regel wird dabei ein Band 1 immer nur eine Sorte von solchen Befestigungsstellen 3 haben, jedoch könnte aufgrund der vorteilhaften und einfachen Herstellbarkeit die­ser Befestigungsstellen auch über die Länge des Bandes 1 ein Wechsel der Form der Befestigungsstellen erfolgen. Insgesamt werden durch die erfindungsgemäßen Befestigungsstellen die Außenbänder 2 schnell und bequem aneinander fixiert, wobei dennoch eine gute Beweglichkeit der einzelnen zwischen den Befestigungsstellen befindlichen Bandabschnitte durch die Lochung oder Stanzung erreicht wird. Dabei sei noch erwähnt, daß selbstverständlich jeweils zwischen den Lochungen 6 gemäß Fig.1 und 3 und dem Außenrand 9 eine weitere derartige Lo­chung oder aber auch eine randoffene Stanzung 7 vorgesehen sein könnte, wenn hier eine größere Beweglichkeit des gesam­ten Bandes 1 oder auch der Außenbänder 2 erwünscht wäre.The choice of the shape of the perforations 6 or punchings 7 depends on which decorative element is to be formed, which inherent rigidity, above all, of the outer bands 2 and also how these are dimensioned. In the case of very narrow strips, round perforations 6 with welded edges 7 may be sufficient as attachment points 3, while very wide strips 1 can expediently be provided with slots 7 which are open at the edge. As a rule, a band 1 will always have only one type of such fastening points 3, however, due to the advantageous and simple manufacture of these fastening points, the shape of the fastening points could also be changed over the length of the band 1. All in all, the fastening strips according to the invention fix the outer bands 2 to one another quickly and conveniently, with good perforation of the individual belt sections located between the fastening points being achieved by the perforation or punching. It should also be mentioned that, of course, between the perforations 6 according to FIGS. 1 and 3 and the outer edge 9, a further such perforation or an open-edge punching 7 could be provided if there is greater mobility of the entire band 1 or of the outer bands 2 would be desirable.

Insgesamt ergibt sich ein Band 1, dessen Einzelteile sicher aneinander befestigt sind, welches aber selbst eine hohe Flexibilität behält und dessen Außenbänder 2 deshalb gut und bequem verformt werden können, ohne daß jedoch im Bereich der Befestigungsstellen 3 die Gefahr einer ungewollten Lösung der Verbindung besteht. Die Herstellung ist vereinfacht, da das Zusammenschweißen gleichzeitig mit dem Stanzen erfolgen kann und dafür wesentlich weniger präzise Arbeitshübe als bei einer Preßschweißung erforderlich sind.Overall, a band 1 results, the individual parts of which are securely fastened to one another, but which itself maintains a high degree of flexibility and whose outer bands 2 can therefore be deformed easily and comfortably, without, however, the danger of an unwanted loosening of the connection in the area of the fastening points 3. The production is simplified since the welding together can take place at the same time as the punching and for this much less precise working strokes are required than with a pressure welding.
