Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a device for the identification of television, video or radio channels.
  • the desired TV or radio channel is usually set using a remote control, which controls the switching processes, for example, using infrared signals.
  • On this hand-held device for remote control of the channels there are generally only consecutive numbers for the individual channels.
  • the selection of which of these digits is assigned to which channel is usually made by a specialist and is usually random and therefore different for each remote control. It is also possible to change the assignment of the individual channels as required. Since thirty or forty channels can often be received, older people in particular are usually unable to remember which channel can be found under which number on the remote control. Occasionally the channel assignment is noted somewhere, but these notes can be misplaced.
  • the object of the present innovation is therefore to provide a device for the identification of television, video or radio channels, in which the user is shown which channel is occupied by which transmitter and in which it is possible to assign the respective to change consecutively numbered channels to individual stations when changing the setting on the television or radio.
  • this device consists of a plate-shaped, flat, for example rectangular, base, preferably made of plastic, on which, in rows, serial numbers are preferably applied to identify the individual television, radio or video channels.
  • the plate has, for example, circular or rectangular recesses in the form of depressions, each of which can receive plug elements or slides in a form-fitting manner.
  • plug-in elements or sliders are each printed on the top with the designation of a television or radio channel or else they are unprinted if the number of printed digits on the top of the plate is greater than the number of channels set.
  • the unprinted plug-in elements or sliders can also be labeled by hand.
  • plug-in elements according to the invention can be pressed into the recesses of the plate from above and can be latched to the plate by means of latching elements such as bulges or the like, which engage in undercuts in the area of the recesses.
  • latching elements such as bulges or the like
  • slides can also be used, which can be inserted from the side into the laterally open recesses of the plate, the recesses having guide grooves, for example, in order to facilitate insertion and to ensure a better fit of the slides.
  • a continuous recess is arranged next to a row of digits, which can accommodate a number of plug-in elements corresponding to the number of digits per row.
  • An opening is preferably arranged centrally in the recesses next to each of the numbers, into which an opening formed in the center on the back of the plug-in elements can be detachably latched. Due to the continuous recess with a Opening per digit can reduce the manufacturing costs of the device according to the invention.
  • a recess is arranged above the two rows of printed digits, into which a plug-in element can be detachably latched, which is marked on its surface with information corresponding to a device.
  • the plug-in element can be labeled, for example, with VIDEO, SATELLIT, TV 1 or TV 2.
  • a free space is preferably provided below the two rows of printed digits, which can be used as an advertising space.
  • the slides and / or plug-in elements are connected to the outer edge of the plate-shaped support by means of retaining struts before the first use.
  • This arrangement prevents the slides and / or plug-in elements from being lost in the recesses before locking.
  • the holding struts additionally facilitate the manufacture of the device as a one-piece molded plastic part.
  • FIG. 1 shows a top view of a device 10 according to the invention for identifying television, radio or video channels.
  • This device comprises a type of card 11, which is a flat plate-shaped base with an approximately rectangular outline.
  • information 12 such as TV, radio or video, which shows the user which channels are identified by the card.
  • Under this identification 12 there are two parallel longitudinal rows with printed consecutive numbers corresponding to the number of channels available. In the present exemplary embodiment, these are, for example, thirty channels, so that the digits are arranged in two rows 13, 14, each with fifteen ascending digits arranged one below the other.
  • the detail view according to FIG. 3 shows that the card 11 in the area of the outer rows 15, 16 has in each case approximately rectangular recesses 18 corresponding in shape to the slides 17, each of which accommodates the slides 17.
  • These recesses 18 can have curved undercuts 19, the slides 17 in the side region having corresponding bulges 20 which engage in the undercuts 19.
  • the slides 17 can be inserted, for example, from the side into the recesses 18, the undercuts 19 and the bulges 20 then providing a certain amount of guidance.
  • the recesses 18 can also be closed to the side and, instead of the slide 17, correspondingly shaped plug-in elements can be provided, which are inserted into the recesses 18 of the card 11 from above and releasably latched there.
  • the slides 17 are marked on the upper side with the corresponding television, video or radio channel, which after its assignment corresponds to the number printed next to the slider 17.
  • FIGS. 4 and 5 show a further embodiment of a card 21 according to the invention with identification of television, video or satellite receiver channels evident.
  • a plug-in element 22 can be inserted into a recess provided for this purpose and locked by means of a pin 27 which can engage in an opening 23.
  • the plug-in element 22 can, for example, have an imprint such as TV 1, TV 2, VIDEO or satellite and shows the user which channels and which device are identified by the card.
  • this identification contains two parallel longitudinal rows with printed consecutive numbers corresponding to the number of available channels.
  • a continuous recess 24 is arranged on the outside next to each row of digits, in each of which an opening 23 is arranged in the center next to one of the digits.
  • the plug-in elements 25 can be inserted next to a number such that a pin 27 integrally formed on the rear of the plug-in elements 25 engages in the corresponding opening 23.
  • the plug-in elements 25 are dimensioned such that, in addition to adjacent digits, the plug-in elements 25 engage in a form-fitting manner.
  • the latching of the plug elements 25 in the continuous recesses 24 can be released, so that the channel assignment can be changed at any time.
  • the plug-in elements 25 are each marked on the top side with the corresponding channel which, after its assignment, corresponds to the number printed next to the plug-in element 25.
  • the plug-in elements 22, 25 are connected to the outer edge of the card 21 and to one another by means of narrow holding struts 26.
  • the user bends the plug elements 22, 25 up or down until the corresponding holding struts 26 break and removes any residues of the holding struts 26 that may be present Recesses are locked.
  • a free space is arranged below the two parallel rows of digits, which can be used, for example, for an advertising print.
