Definitions
- the invention relates to a clothing pin for fastening an object, such as a name plate or brooch, to clothing material or similar material.
- Clothing pins as referred to under A1. and as specified therein are intended for affixing information carriers such as name badges, distinguishing symbols and the like, in which case they are usually referred to as "badges”, or for affixing decorative objects to clothing, in which case they are usually referred to as "brooches”.
- the badges it is a requirement that they have to be capable of being affixed in a simple and expedient manner to various types of clothing materials but without damaging the latter.
- Badges may take the form of a small plate or small sleeve on which or in which, respectively, a name badge or identification card can be affixed and to which a type of safety pin is attached at the back. Since the safety pins are fairly small and are located at the back of the badge, these badges are usually somewhat troublesome for the users, especially male users, to attach to their clothing. Other badges are provided with a clip, with the aid of which the badge can be attached to, for example, the lapel of a suit jacket. A disadvantage of this is that not all items of clothing - namely those without lapel or something similar - lend themselves to a satisfactory attachment of the badge, all the more so since a badge normally has to be capable of being attached at a readily visible place (breast height).
- the object of the invention is to eliminate the disadvantages of the known badges and similar clothing pins by providing a clothing pin for attaching an object, such as a name badge or brooch, to clothing material or similar material, which clothing pin is provided, according to the invention, with a first small plate (1) and a second small plate (2) which are mounted so as to be able to slide with respect to each other along a defined slide path parallel to the plane of said small plates, and with at least one hook (3) which is mounted so as to be able to rotate with respect to the first small plate around an axis of rotation which is essentially transverse to the direction of the said slide path, which hook comprises a free first end (4) which can extend outside the first small plate at the side facing away from the second small plate and also a second end (5) which can extend outside the first small plate at the side facing the second small plate and which is located within the slide path of said second small plate.
- the invention provides that, in a first quasi-stationary state intended for fastening the clothing pin to, or removing it from, the clothing material, the said second end (5) of the hook (3) extends outside the first small plate (1) at the side facing the second small plate (2), and that, to reach a second quasi-stationary state intended for the clothing pin to be fastened to the clothing material, the second small plate is slid with respect to the first small plate at least far enough for the second end of the hook to rest against the side of the second small plate facing the first small plate.
- the clothing pin according to a preferred embodiment is provided with at least one spring (6) which is joined, on the one hand, to the said first small plate (1) and, on the other hand, is joined to the said hook (3), which spring exerts its spring force on the hook in the direction of the second end (5).
- the hook (3) and the spring (6) joined to said hook are formed from resilient wire or strip material as a single whole.
- the second small plate (2) is joined to, or forms part of, a holder for receiving or retaining a name badge or identification card or something similar, or that the second small plate (2) is joined to, or forms part of, a holder for receiving or retaining a decorative object.
- Figure 1 shows a plan view of an exemplary embodiment of the clothing pin according to the invention.
- the left-hand section of this figure shows a first small plate 1 and a component which is mounted thereon, shown, inter alia, by dotted lines in the left-hand section of the figure and formed from spring steel wire and which comprises, inter alia, a hook 3(a) visible in the left-hand section of this figure and a hook 3(b) visible in the right-hand section of the figure; these hooks are each joined to the small plate 1 by means of a bridge 7 which forms a single whole with the first small plate 1.
- a second small plate 2 is visible which is slid over the small plate 1. Because both small plates are to some extent hollow in the direction of each other, sufficient space is left between the two small plates 1 and 2 for the bridges 7 and the hooks 3 received therein.
- FIG 2 shows the same clothing pin as Figure 1, but the front elevation thereof: the left-hand section of the figure is shown without small plate 2, the right-hand section of the figure with small plate 2.
- the attachment of the hook 3(a) to the first small plate 1 is also visible.
- said hook 3(a) is joined to the first small plate 1 by means of the bridge 7 already mentioned.
- Each of the wire-type hooks 3 is provided with a transverse section 10 which extends through the two bridges 7 (of which only the left-hand one 7(a) is visible in this figure), as a result of which both hooks 3 are able to rotate around the axis of their respective transverse section 10.
- the hooks 3 are spring-loaded by means of springs 6 which form a single whole with the hooks 3 and extend at the side of the transverse sections 10 facing away from the hooks 3; the ends of the springs 6 are joined to the small plate 1 by means of a hook 11 forming, like the bridge 7, a single whole with the small plate 1.
- the end of the left-hand hook 3(a) is thus located at the right-hand side, and the end of the right-hand hook is located at the left-hand side, viz. under hook 11(a).
- Figure 3 shows a cross section through the left-hand hook 3(a).
- the two small plates 1 and 2 which can be slid with respect to each other, the left-hand hook 3 (a), i.e. the actual hook 3(a) and the axis of its transverse section 10(a) and also the axis of the transverse section 10(b) of the right-hand hook 3(b) and its spring section 6(b) can be seen.
- the two transverse sections 10(a) and 10(b) are trapped by the bridge 7(a) visible in the figure (and also by the right-hand bridge which is not visible in the figure).
- the end of the spring 6(b) is trapped in the hook 11(a).
- the actual hooks 3 each comprise, on the one hand, a sharp free end 4 and, on the other hand, a somewhat cam-shaped second end 5.
- the actual hooks 3 are able to move through a slot 12, cut out in the first small plate 1, by rotating around their transverse sections 10.
- two quasi-stationary positions are shown: a first position in which the movable parts are shown with broken lines and a second position in which the parts are drawn with continuous lines.
- the parts 4 and 5 of the actual hook 3 are indicated in the first ("broken-line") position by 4' and 5' respectively; equally, the second small plate 2 is indicated in said position by 2'.
- the hook ends 4 are received in a U-shaped receiving section 9 on the first small plate 1.
- Figure 4 is completely identical to Figure 3, except that the receiving section 9 is not joined - as in Figure 3 - to the first small plate 1, but, instead thereof, to the second small plate 2 via a slot 13 cut out in the second small plate 2.
- the second small plate 2 In the first position , the second small plate 2 is in the lowermost position (indicated by dotted lines).
- the spring force of the hook 3 - largely the torsional spring force of the respective transverse sections 10 - forces the actual hooks 3 in the direction of the second ends 5, as a result of which said second ends 5 are pressed against the top edge of the second small plate 2.
- the free first end 4 of the hook 3 In this first position - which is quasi-stationary under the influence of the spring force - the free first end 4 of the hook 3 is detached from the surface of the first small plate 1: the end 4 is located in the open position 4'.
- the second small plate 2 is pushed upwards, as a result of which the top of said small plate 2 presses against the cam-shaped second end 5 (which is in the position 5') of the hooks 3 and these hooks 3 move - against the spring force - in the direction of the free end 4' (rotating around their axes 10) as a result of which the free ends 4 of the hooks 3 close with respect to the first small plate 1.
- the clothing material or other material
- the slot 12 In order to prevent the (sharp) first end 4 of the hooks 3 projecting outside the first small plate 1 in the first, open position, the slot 12 is provided with a U-shaped receiving section 8 at said position. In order to prevent the (clothing) material slipping out under certain circumstances between the (resilient) free end 4 and the surface of the first small plate 1 in the second, closed position, the slot 12 is also provided with a (second) U-shaped receiving section 9 at said position. As shown in Figure 3, said receiving section 9 can be joined to the first small plate 1, or , as shown in Figure 4, to the second small plate 2.
- the first option is constructionally the simplest.
- the second option offers a (still) more reliable operation of the clothing pin.
- the receiving section 9 In the first quasi-stationary position of the clothing pin ("open"), the receiving section 9 is at the bottom of the slot 13. On “closing” the clothing pin, the receiving section 9 is moved upwards with the second small plate 2 (with respect to the first small plate 1), as a result of which the end 4 rotates around its axis 10 and finally moves in the direction of the first small plate 1. At the same time, the receiving section 9 moves upwards, as a result of which the end 4 closes in a U-shaped fashion.
- the advantage of this option is that the hook end 4 can be closed, after sliding the receiving section 9 upwards, much more accurately - even tightly -than in the first option.
- the clothing pin is of course intended for (detachably) attaching something or other to clothing. If the clothing pin is used as (a component of a) badge, the name badge or something similar can be stuck to the front of the second small plate 2 or to the back if the second small plate is transparent; in the last case, the sticking may be omitted if the name badge is adequately trapped by the (to a certain extent hollow) second small plate 2. It is also possible for the second small plate 2 to be joined, or even to form part of, a small name badge holder. If the clothing pin is intended for attaching a decorative object such as a brooch or something similar to clothing, such a decorative object is also attached to the second small plate 2.
- a decorative object such as a brooch or something similar to clothing
- the advantage of the clothing pin according to the invention is that it can be attached to clothing and detached therefrom by simply sliding the two small plates 1 and 2 with respect to each other. At the same time it is completely unimportant in practice which position the clothing pin is affixed to and what the nature of the clothing material is (waterproof rainwear, of course, excepted therefrom).

Abstract
Description
- The invention relates to a clothing pin for fastening an object, such as a name plate or brooch, to clothing material or similar material.
- Clothing pins as referred to under A1. and as specified therein are intended for affixing information carriers such as name badges, distinguishing symbols and the like, in which case they are usually referred to as "badges", or for affixing decorative objects to clothing, in which case they are usually referred to as "brooches". Especially for the first category of clothing pins, the badges, it is a requirement that they have to be capable of being affixed in a simple and expedient manner to various types of clothing materials but without damaging the latter.
- Badges may take the form of a small plate or small sleeve on which or in which, respectively, a name badge or identification card can be affixed and to which a type of safety pin is attached at the back. Since the safety pins are fairly small and are located at the back of the badge, these badges are usually somewhat troublesome for the users, especially male users, to attach to their clothing. Other badges are provided with a clip, with the aid of which the badge can be attached to, for example, the lapel of a suit jacket. A disadvantage of this is that not all items of clothing - namely those without lapel or something similar - lend themselves to a satisfactory attachment of the badge, all the more so since a badge normally has to be capable of being attached at a readily visible place (breast height).
- The object of the invention is to eliminate the disadvantages of the known badges and similar clothing pins by providing a clothing pin for attaching an object, such as a name badge or brooch, to clothing material or similar material, which clothing pin is provided, according to the invention, with a first small plate (1) and a second small plate (2) which are mounted so as to be able to slide with respect to each other along a defined slide path parallel to the plane of said small plates, and with at least one hook (3) which is mounted so as to be able to rotate with respect to the first small plate around an axis of rotation which is essentially transverse to the direction of the said slide path, which hook comprises a free first end (4) which can extend outside the first small plate at the side facing away from the second small plate and also a second end (5) which can extend outside the first small plate at the side facing the second small plate and which is located within the slide path of said second small plate. Elaborated further, the invention provides that, in a first quasi-stationary state intended for fastening the clothing pin to, or removing it from, the clothing material, the said second end (5) of the hook (3) extends outside the first small plate (1) at the side facing the second small plate (2), and that, to reach a second quasi-stationary state intended for the clothing pin to be fastened to the clothing material, the second small plate is slid with respect to the first small plate at least far enough for the second end of the hook to rest against the side of the second small plate facing the first small plate. In order to achieve the result that in both quasi-stationary states the position of the small plates and the hook or hooks is stable, the clothing pin according to a preferred embodiment is provided with at least one spring (6) which is joined, on the one hand, to the said first small plate (1) and, on the other hand, is joined to the said hook (3), which spring exerts its spring force on the hook in the direction of the second end (5). A further preferred embodiment provides that the hook (3) and the spring (6) joined to said hook are formed from resilient wire or strip material as a single whole. As already indicated under A2., depending on the application, it is possible either that the second small plate (2) is joined to, or forms part of, a holder for receiving or retaining a name badge or identification card or something similar, or that the second small plate (2) is joined to, or forms part of, a holder for receiving or retaining a decorative object.
- None
- Figure 1 shows a plan view of an exemplary embodiment of the clothing pin according to the invention. The left-hand section of this figure shows a first
small plate 1 and a component which is mounted thereon, shown, inter alia, by dotted lines in the left-hand section of the figure and formed from spring steel wire and which comprises, inter alia, a hook 3(a) visible in the left-hand section of this figure and a hook 3(b) visible in the right-hand section of the figure; these hooks are each joined to thesmall plate 1 by means of abridge 7 which forms a single whole with the firstsmall plate 1. In the right-hand section of the figure, a secondsmall plate 2 is visible which is slid over thesmall plate 1. Because both small plates are to some extent hollow in the direction of each other, sufficient space is left between the twosmall plates bridges 7 and thehooks 3 received therein. - Figure 2 shows the same clothing pin as Figure 1, but the front elevation thereof: the left-hand section of the figure is shown without
small plate 2, the right-hand section of the figure withsmall plate 2. In this figure, in particular, the attachment of the hook 3(a) to the firstsmall plate 1 is also visible. Like the other hook 3(b), said hook 3(a) is joined to the firstsmall plate 1 by means of thebridge 7 already mentioned. Each of the wire-type hooks 3 is provided with atransverse section 10 which extends through the two bridges 7 (of which only the left-hand one 7(a) is visible in this figure), as a result of which bothhooks 3 are able to rotate around the axis of their respectivetransverse section 10. Thehooks 3 are spring-loaded by means ofsprings 6 which form a single whole with thehooks 3 and extend at the side of thetransverse sections 10 facing away from thehooks 3; the ends of thesprings 6 are joined to thesmall plate 1 by means of ahook 11 forming, like thebridge 7, a single whole with thesmall plate 1. The end of the left-hand hook 3(a) is thus located at the right-hand side, and the end of the right-hand hook is located at the left-hand side, viz. under hook 11(a). - Figure 3 shows a cross section through the left-hand hook 3(a). In this Figure 3, the two
small plates actual hooks 3 each comprise, on the one hand, a sharpfree end 4 and, on the other hand, a somewhat cam-shapedsecond end 5. Theactual hooks 3 are able to move through aslot 12, cut out in the firstsmall plate 1, by rotating around theirtransverse sections 10. In the figure, two quasi-stationary positions are shown: a first position in which the movable parts are shown with broken lines and a second position in which the parts are drawn with continuous lines. Theparts actual hook 3 are indicated in the first ("broken-line") position by 4' and 5' respectively; equally, the secondsmall plate 2 is indicated in said position by 2'. In the second position, thehook ends 4 are received in a U-shapedreceiving section 9 on the firstsmall plate 1. - Figure 4 is completely identical to Figure 3, except that the
receiving section 9 is not joined - as in Figure 3 - to the firstsmall plate 1, but, instead thereof, to the secondsmall plate 2 via aslot 13 cut out in the secondsmall plate 2. - The working can best be seen with reference to Figure 3.
- In the first position, the second
small plate 2 is in the lowermost position (indicated by dotted lines). The spring force of the hook 3 - largely the torsional spring force of the respective transverse sections 10 - forces theactual hooks 3 in the direction of thesecond ends 5, as a result of which saidsecond ends 5 are pressed against the top edge of the secondsmall plate 2. In this first position - which is quasi-stationary under the influence of the spring force - the freefirst end 4 of thehook 3 is detached from the surface of the first small plate 1: theend 4 is located in the open position 4'.
To reach the second position, the secondsmall plate 2 is pushed upwards, as a result of which the top of saidsmall plate 2 presses against the cam-shaped second end 5 (which is in the position 5') of thehooks 3 and thesehooks 3 move - against the spring force - in the direction of the free end 4' (rotating around their axes 10) as a result of which thefree ends 4 of thehooks 3 close with respect to the firstsmall plate 1. Prior to the closing of thehooks 3, the clothing material (or other material) (not shown in the figures) is placed between thefree ends 4 and the surface of the firstsmall plate 1. During the closing of thehooks 3, the material is pierced by thefree ends 4 and, after the closure of thehooks 3 is complete, the clothing pin remains attached to the material. Because the secondsmall plate 2 is still pushed further over a certain distance after the cam-shapedsecond end 5 of thehooks 3 has been completely "pushed aside", this second position is also quasi-stationary: thehooks 3 cannot any longer return because they are impeded in that returning movement by the secondsmall plate 2 which has been slid in front of thesecond end 5 and which is safeguarded in its turn against being slid back because thesecond end 5 presses against said secondsmall plate 2 under the influence of the (torsional) spring force of the hooks 3 (i.e. of thetransverse sections 10 and the spring ends 6), as a result of which it remains completely secured by the frictional force. - In order to prevent the (sharp)
first end 4 of thehooks 3 projecting outside the firstsmall plate 1 in the first, open position, theslot 12 is provided with aU-shaped receiving section 8 at said position. In order to prevent the (clothing) material slipping out under certain circumstances between the (resilient)free end 4 and the surface of the firstsmall plate 1 in the second, closed position, theslot 12 is also provided with a (second) U-shapedreceiving section 9 at said position. As shown in Figure 3, said receivingsection 9 can be joined to the firstsmall plate 1, or, as shown in Figure 4, to the secondsmall plate 2. The first option is constructionally the simplest. The second option, however, offers a (still) more reliable operation of the clothing pin. In the first quasi-stationary position of the clothing pin ("open"), thereceiving section 9 is at the bottom of theslot 13. On "closing" the clothing pin, thereceiving section 9 is moved upwards with the second small plate 2 (with respect to the first small plate 1), as a result of which theend 4 rotates around itsaxis 10 and finally moves in the direction of the firstsmall plate 1. At the same time, the receivingsection 9 moves upwards, as a result of which theend 4 closes in a U-shaped fashion. The advantage of this option is that thehook end 4 can be closed, after sliding the receivingsection 9 upwards, much more accurately - even tightly -than in the first option. In the first option, allowance has, after all, always to be made for relatively large dimensional tolerances of thehook 3, while if - according to the second option - the receivingsection 9 is joined to the secondsmall plate 2, all of them can be -and in practice are in fact - dimensioned so that the receivingsection 9 firmly clamps thehook end 4 over the last section of its sliding path, as a result of which it is virtually impossible for the clothing pin to slip loose. - The clothing pin is of course intended for (detachably) attaching something or other to clothing. If the clothing pin is used as (a component of a) badge, the name badge or something similar can be stuck to the front of the second
small plate 2 or to the back if the second small plate is transparent; in the last case, the sticking may be omitted if the name badge is adequately trapped by the (to a certain extent hollow) secondsmall plate 2. It is also possible for the secondsmall plate 2 to be joined, or even to form part of, a small name badge holder. If the clothing pin is intended for attaching a decorative object such as a brooch or something similar to clothing, such a decorative object is also attached to the secondsmall plate 2. - The advantage of the clothing pin according to the invention is that it can be attached to clothing and detached therefrom by simply sliding the two
small plates
