Definitions
- the present invention relates to a model unit that can be pneumatically inflated in the form of an air cushion.
- Pneumatically inflatable models are known. Such models are formed by an air bag made of, for example, two flexible plastic sheet-like films placed one on top of the other and hermetically joined, for example by means of heat-welding, along a continuous border defining the profile of the model. In addition, on at least one of said sheet-like films a figure is printed, inscribed within said continuous outline.
- Pneumatically inflatable models of this kind have valve means for pneumatic inflation which, by means of, for example, an inflator tube, allow air under pressure to be blown into said air bag, for example, through the mouth, in order to inflate and maintain pneumatically inflated said bag, in such a way as to give said model a pleasing three-dimensional aspect.
- a model unit that can be pneumatically inflated in the form of an air cushion, comprising two laminar parts, joined in mutual superposition, in which a first laminar part consists of a pneumatically inflatable bag that is flat and exhibits two sheet-like walls, made for example of a flexible plastic film, welded together, for example heat-welded, along a continuous outline defining the profile of the model itself, while said air bag is separable from the rest of the model unit by breaking along said continuous outline defining the profile of the pneumatically inflatable model itself.
- the abovementioned models or model units are quite flexible when deflated and are therefore inconvenient and difficult to process and handle during the industrial operations following their manufacture.
- the lack of suitable stiffness in the deflated state represents a limitation in the presentation and use of the models in the flat form (that is before they are pneumatically inflated) in comparison with conventional flat models, printed, for example, on pieces of stiff card.
- the present invention provides a model unit that is pneumatically inflatable in the form of an air cushion, the essential characteristic of which is the subject of Claim 1, which should be regarded as incorporated here in its entirety.
- FIG. 1 is a general reference for the model unit that can be pneumatically inflated in the form of an air cushion, according to the present invention.
- the model unit 10 comprises two laminar parts, joined in mutual superposition, or in other words comprises a pneumatically inflatable bag 11 that is flat and exhibits two sheet-like walls 11.1, made for example of a flexible plastic film, such as polyvinyl chloride, welded together, for example high frequency heat-welded, along a continuous outline 11.2 defining the profile of the model itself 11.3, and also comprises a backing board 12 of a poorly flexible or stiff material, such as cardboard, in such a way that said two laminar parts 11, 12, joined together in superposition, are sufficiently stiff for the easy and convenient performance of the industrial processing and handling operations following the manufacture of the model itself, and have an appearance and strength that are agreeable and appropriate for said air bag 11 to be used in the deflated state in the same way as a conventional flat model.
- a pneumatically inflatable bag 11 that is flat and exhibits two sheet-like walls 11.1, made for example of a flexible plastic film, such as polyvinyl chloride, welded together, for example high frequency heat-welded, along a continuous outline 1
- the mutual joining of said laminar parts 11, 12 is brought about through the blanking of the perimetrical border of said superposed parts around a peripheral, for example quadrilateral, outline 13 in which is inscribed said continuous outline 11.2 of the air bag 11 defining the profile of the model 11.3.
- air valve means 14 comprising a sheet-like intermediate flap 14.1 (Fig. 5), made for example of a plastic, such as polyvinyl chloride, hermetically heat-welded to one of the walls 11.1 of said bag, and two through holes 14.2, 14.3 formed in that one of said walls 11.1 to which the flap 14.1 is heat-welded, and in said flap 14.1, respectively, and offset from each other. 14.4 indicates transverse lines where the intermediate flap 14.1 is heat-welded to one wall 11.1 of the air bag 11.
- a sheet-like intermediate flap 14.1 (Fig. 5)
- a plastic such as polyvinyl chloride
- the through hole 14.2 in the wall 11.1 is made through the backing board 12 during the blanking operation.
- 12.1 indicates the corresponding through hole in the backing board 12.
- the model unit according to the invention comes to the user in the form of a conventional flat model of sufficient stiffness, thanks to its structure in two laminar parts, one of them a backing board, while allowing the possibility of being pneumatically inflated in the form of an air cushion, in its air bag part, for greater play appeal.

- Bildcheneinheit, nach Art eines Luftkissens pneumatisch aufblasbar, mit zwei gepaart aufeinander gelegten blattförmigen Teilen, von denen ein erstes blattförmiges Teil als eine pneumatisch aufblasbare abgeflachte Hülle (11) ausgebildet ist mit zwei z.B. aus biegeweicher Kunststoff-Folie bestehenden Wänden (11.1), die längs ihrer das Profil des eigentlichen Bildchens (11.3) begrenzenden Umfangskontur (11.2) miteinander verschweisst, z.B. heissversiegelt sind, wobei diese pneumatische Hülle (11) vom restlichen Teil der Bildcheneinheit durch Ausstanzen längs der erwähnten, das Profil des aufblasbaren Bildchens (11.3) umgrenzenden Umfangskontur (11.2) abtrennbar ist, dadurch gekennzeichnet, dass die Bildcheneinheit mit einem zweiten, als Trägerblatt dienenden Teil (12) aus einem begrenzt biegsamen oder aber biegesteifen Material , z.B. Karton, derart versehen ist, dass die beiden blattförmigen Tiele (11, 12) im gepaart aufeinander gelegten Zustand eine hinreichende Steife aufweisen, damit an dem ausgestanzten Bildchen industriemässige Behandlungsvorgänge leicht und bequem durchgeführt werden können, gleichzeitig aber die pneumatische Hülle (11) ein gefälliges Aussehen und hinreichende Festigkeit aufweist, um ihre Verwendung im nicht aufgeblasenen Zustand als herkömmliches Bildchen zu gestatten.
- Bildcheneinheit, nach Art eines Luftkissens pneumatisch aufblasbar, nach Anspruch 1, dadurch gekennzeichnet, dass die gegenseitige Paarung der erwähnten blattförmigen Teile (11, 12) unter Abtrennen der umfänglichen Randbereiche der aufeinander gelegten Teile in einem z.B. viereckigen Umriss (13) erfolgt, in dem die Umfangskontur (11.2) der das Profil des eigentlichen Bildchens (11.3) bildenden pneumatischen Hülle (11) eingeschrieben ist.
- Bildcheneinheit, nach Art eines Luftkissens pneumatisch aufblasbar, nach Anspruch 1 oder 2, gekennzeichnet durch in der pneumatischen Hülle (11) vorgesehene pneumatische Ventilmittel (14) mit einer blattartigen Zwischenlasche (14.1) z.B. aus Kunststoff, die mit einer der Wände (11.1) der Hülle durch Heissversiegelung dicht verbunden ist, und mit zwei Durchgangslöchern (14.2, 14.3) jeweils in einer der erwähnten Wände (11.1) und in der Zwischenlasche (14.1), die derart versetzt zueinander angeordnet sind, dass durch diese Ventilmittel (14) hindurch ein Blasröhrchen (15) leicht in die pneumatische Hülle (11) einsteckbar ist, um z.B. mittels des Atems die Hülle (11) bzw. das Bildchen (11.3) nach dem Abtrennen vom restlichen Teil (Abfallrand 11.4, Trägerblatt 12) der Bildcheneinheit (10) nach Art eines Luftkissens aufzublasen.
