Definitions

  • the invention relates to a device for marking cables, strands or lines according to the preamble of claim 1.
  • Such a device is known from CH-A-607 245 in connection with the CH-A-594 270 cited therein.
  • the marking pieces known from CH-A-594 270 have a continuous slot in the area which is affected by the deformation or strip in accordance with CH-A-607 245 in the use position, so that they have a C-shaped cross section overall. Wall areas that are thinner than the wall area that bears the marking are in each case directly adjacent in the slot.
  • the invention has for its object to provide a device of the type specified in the preamble of claim 1, in which a deformation of the marking piece is only slight or completely eliminated during its printing and, despite generous tolerances, it is possible to increase the frictional connection within the channel.
  • the cross-sectional area of the marking pieces bearing the actual marking is so stable that it can be printed even without deformation of the marking piece.
  • the area with the weaker wall cross section is available for its own elastic deformation in order to fix it inside the channel with the help of restoring forces.
  • Such inherently elastic deformation is caused by the projection strip located in the channel, which forces the area with the thinner wall inwards when it is inserted and inserted into the channel and thus deforms it, so that frictional engagement on the one hand between the bar and the thinner wall area, and on the other hand also is produced between the inside of the channel and the rest of the wall area.
  • the desired frictional force can be set as desired by preselecting the height of this strip-like projection.
  • the deformation or ledge projecting into the channel cross section can be arranged on the wall region opposite the visible side of this channel. In this way, the marking piece is positioned from the beginning when it is inserted so that the printed or marked peripheral area comes to rest on the transparent outside of the channel.
  • the deformation or strip projecting into the interior of the channel cross section is in one piece with the sleeve. It can therefore also be produced and included in the manufacture of the sleeve or clamp and its channel for the marking pieces, so that the marking pieces only have to be inserted into this channel in the usual way, the deformation of the wall area of the marking piece, which is thinner in cross section, being automatically brought about.
  • the thicker wall area of the marking piece has an approximately arch-shaped cross section and the thinner wall area, viewed in cross section, connects the ends of this arch approximately in a sinew shape.
  • the bulging of the wall area, which is thinner in cross-section, not only produces the deformation forces on this wall area itself, but also exerts tensile forces on the two ends of the arcuate thicker area, which increases the corresponding inherently elastic restoring forces.
  • the cross-sectional height of the deformation or of the strip for inserting and deforming the thinner wall area of the marking piece can correspond approximately to the cross-sectional thickness of this thinner wall area or be greater than this thickness, for example approximately one eighth or half more than this cross-sectional thickness of the thinner wall area.
  • the thicker wall area of the marking piece can be about twice as thick or two and a half to three times as thick as the thinner wall area. On the one hand, this gives it a sufficient resistance to the pressure forces during its printing and marking, which is also strengthened by its arch shape, but still enables a certain elastic transfer of the forces occurring when the thinner wall area is booked in, so that the total To increase restoring forces.
  • the cross-sectional thickness of the thicker wall area of the marking piece can increase from its upper, middle visible side to the sides and thereby from the approximately arcuate inner cross section deviate that the field of vision is not curved or with a large radius of curvature and over a small radius of curvature merges into non-or little curved side wall sections.
  • the outer cross-section has a more rectangular cross-sectional shape, which makes printing and reading easier, while the printing forces can be appropriately introduced into the wall sections during printing, which in turn can be supported on a base .
  • the stability against deformation during printing increased, but it is also prevented that the wall area bearing the marking bends too much when the thinner wall area is pressed in.
  • the hollow cross section of the marking piece can be formed by a semicircle lying below the marking area, which is closed by the thinner wall, which is straight when not in use. In combination with the mentioned changes in cross-section of the thicker wall area, this marking piece is given an approximately bridge-shaped cross-sectional shape that can withstand pressure loads during marking.
  • the sleeve and / or the marking pieces can consist of plastic.
  • the production is correspondingly simple with the above-mentioned cross-sections which change in the circumferential direction on the marking piece and with the incorporated bar inside the channel of the sleeve.
  • the insertion of the marking pieces into the channel having a strip-like longitudinal projection can be carried out with a tool with a mandrel-like extension which fits into the hollow cross section of the marking pieces and can be inserted into the channel of the sleeve with the marking pieces plugged onto this mandrel.
  • the spike-shaped extension or plug-in part of the tool has an approximately arcuate cross-section, the concave area of which accommodates the thinner wall area of the hollow marking piece when it is inserted and pushed onto the strip-like projection in the interior of the channel.
  • the deformation of the thinner wall area of the marking pieces can already take place on insertion into the channel on the tool itself or, vice versa, the tool hinders the deformation of the marking pieces by this special design and cross-sectional shape of its extension or plug-in part, but can nevertheless be done with it Cross-section over a large cross-sectional area of the inner cavity of the marking piece.
  • the marking pieces are correspondingly firmly and securely seated on this plug-in part of the tool and can neither twist, nor does the plug-in part of the tool hinder the required deformation, so that assembly is correspondingly simple.
  • the outer curvature of the cross section of the plug-in part can correspond to the inner curvature of the hollow cross section of the thicker wall area of the marking piece.
  • at least a large part of the surface of the plug part lies on the inside of the thicker wall area of the marking pieces.
  • the arc formed by the cross section of the plug-in part of the tool can be shorter than the arcuate course of the cross section of the marking pieces and, in the use position, preferably end at a distance from the starting points of the thinner wall area. This ensures that the indentation of the thinner wall area is not hindered or restricted by the narrow sides of the plug-in part of the tool.
  • a device 1 shown primarily in its entirety in FIG. 3, serves to identify cables 2 or also strands or other lines and has, above all, a sleeve 3 which can be plugged onto the cable 2 and which, with the aid of flexible flanges 4 arranged inside, also cables different cross sections.
  • the sleeve 3 itself is only formed like a clip.
  • This sleeve 3 has, parallel to the cable 2, a channel 5 in which marking pieces 6 having a closed hollow cross section can be frictionally inserted in a manner to be described, wherein at least the area 5a which receives the marking piece is transparent to the outside, so that the existing marking on the marking pieces 6 can also be seen in the position of use shown in FIG.
  • the wall thickness of the marking piece 6 is thicker over part of its circumference, specifically in the wall area 6b which bears the marking on the outside, than in the remaining wall area 6a.
  • a bar 7 projecting into the interior of the channel cross section is provided as a projection is.
  • This strip 7, which projects into the channel cross section is located on the channel wall 8 opposite the visible side 5a of this channel 5, which extends between the sleeve 3 and this channel 5.
  • This ledge 7 projecting into the channel cross section is in one piece with the sleeve 3 or this channel wall 8.
  • the wall region 6b of the marking piece 6 which is thicker in cross section has an approximately arch-shaped cross section and that the thinner wall region 6a, viewed in cross section, connects the ends of this arch approximately in a chord-like manner.
  • the thinner wall area 6a can pass through the strip 7 in the use position according to FIGS. 3 and 4 into the inner cavity 9 of the marking pieces 6 and indented and deformed in the direction of the thicker wall region 6b, which results in corresponding restoring forces and frictional forces which fix the marking pieces 6 in the channel 5.
  • the cross-sectional height of the strip 7 corresponds approximately to the cross-sectional thickness of the thinner wall area 6a or, according to FIGS. 3 and 4, is even somewhat larger than this thickness and can be, for example, approximately one eighth or half more than the cross-sectional thickness of the thinner wall area 6a.
  • the thicker wall area 6b of the marking piece 6 is at least twice as thick or, in the exemplary embodiment, even two and a half to three times as thick as the thinner wall area 6a. This results in great stability in the area of the thicker wall cross section, so that this part can be well provided with the markings and printed without any deformations affecting the elasticity of the marking pieces 6 occurring.
  • Figures 1 and 2 make it clear that the cross-sectional thickness of the thicker wall area 6b of the marking piece 6 increases from an upper middle, the visible side having the markings and deviates from the arcuate inner cross section in that the viewing area is not curved or with a large radius of curvature and over a small radius of curvature merges into non-curved or slightly curved side wall sections 6c, at the lower ends of which the wall area 6a with the thinner cross section then goes out at a more or less acute angle and closes the overall cross section to form a closed hollow cross section.
  • the hollow cross section of the marking pieces 6 is formed by a semicircle lying below the marking area, which is formed by the thinner wall area 6a which runs in a straight line when not in use closed is.
  • This shape can be produced very easily if the marking pieces 6 are expediently made of plastic, just like the sleeve 3.
  • the thinner wall area 6a of the marking pieces 6 is deformed inwards into the hollow cross-section 9 by the strip 7, corresponding tensile forces also result at the ends of the wall sections 6c, which overall results in a sufficiently large restoring force, in particular, between the thinner wall area 6a and the Bar 7, but also between the thick wall region 6b on the visible side and the top 5a of the channel 5 to generate sufficiently large frictional forces.
  • the marking pieces 6 provide sufficient resistance when printing, because the area to be printed can easily withstand greater loads due to the selected cross-sectional conditions, so that two apparently opposite requirements are met, namely that they are practically not deformed when printing, but on the other hand when inserted to be able to generate a sufficiently large elastic restoring force by deformation in the position of use.
  • a tool 10 is used to insert the marking pieces 6, which tool has a spike-like extension or plug-in part 11 that fits into the hollow cross-section 9 of the marking pieces 6 and with marking pieces 6 plugged onto this mandrel or plug-in part 11 into the channel 5 the sleeve 3 is insertable.
  • This plug-in part 11 has a stop 12 which prevents the marker pieces 6 from sliding back too far during insertion and the resistance which occurs in the process.
  • this mandrel-shaped plug-in part 11 of the tool 10 has an approximately arc-shaped, preferably circular-arc-shaped cross-section, the concave region of which corresponds to the thinner wall region 6 a of the marking piece 6 when it is inserted and pushed on on the strip-like projection 7 according to FIG. 3.
  • the outer curvature of the cross-section of the plug-in part 11 corresponds to the inner curvature of the hollow cross-section 9 in the thicker wall area 6b of the marking pieces 6, thus supports this area and also securely fixes the marking pieces on the mandrel 11 in the direction of rotation.
  • this thinner wall area 6a according to FIG. 3 can freely move inwards deform when the marker pieces 6 are pushed into the channel 5 and onto the bar 7.
  • the device 1 for identifying cables 2 or lines with a sleeve 3 that can be plugged onto the cable 2 and preferably also a tool 10 has, with regard to its hollow cross section, marking pieces 6 that are shaped particularly favorably and that extend into a channel 5 of the sleeve 3 that runs parallel to the cable 2 fit.
  • the wall thickness of the marking pieces 6 is thicker over part of its circumference, namely in the wall area 6b that bears the marking on the outside of the marking piece 6, than in the remaining wall area 6a.
