Definitions

  • Pearl necklaces consist of a thread, also known as pearl silk, on which a string of pearls pierced is lined up. If the thread breaks, unsecured pearls can be lost. That is why it is known the pearls secure individually or in groups by moving between neighboring ones Pearls in the thread provides a knot that is thicker than the hole of the Pearl so that the pearl cannot break the knot. Are all pearls on secured this way, if the thread breaks, no more than one Pearl lost. Knotting the pearls is a tedious task and is usually done by experienced people working from home. The The difficulty lies in placing the knots so close to the pearls that they are have the smallest possible distance from each other and the pearl necklace if possible becomes tight.
  • the present invention has for its object to provide a device for knotting pearl necklaces, which enables even inexperienced people to knot pearls on a thread quickly and tightly.
  • the device according to the invention initially has mechanical means for forming it a defined loop in the thread.
  • This holder has a slot, which for the lateral insertion of the Thread is open on one side.
  • the pearl on the thread is already supported unilaterally from a knot, is positioned behind the holder and through Pull the thread taut against the holder.
  • a swiveling loop pattern is provided in the taut thread with a first finger, which is arranged at a distance from the first holder and with a driver, which is about the pivot axis of the loop former is pivotable, which is closer to the finger than to the driver is arranged.
  • the swivel angle is so large that the driver and with it the entrained section of the thread (hereinafter referred to as the first section of the thread) one between the first holder and the finger passed second section of the thread.
  • the loop that thereby being formed in the thread is held open by a loop holder engages in the space between the two thread sections.
  • This loop holder is a finger which can be moved transversely to the swivel plane is. He has an ineffective position in which he is not in the gap engages between the two thread sections and it has an effective position in which he is in the space between the two thread sections intervenes.
  • the free end is led into the loop that is kept open in this way of thread.
  • the driver's swivel range a passage crossing the swivel plane is provided, on which the free end of the thread from one side of the swivel plane the loop is passed through to the other side of the swivel plane can.
  • This process can be facilitated by having one at the free end of the thread provides the not yet knotted row of pearls, which by their weight willingly pulls the free end of the thread down. This effect can by an additional weight provided at the end of the thread be reinforced.
  • the knot is in principle formed, but it still has to be tightened.
  • the two fingers initially oppose this.
  • the first finger which is part of the loop former, is moved out of the loop by moving the loop former back into its starting position.
  • the sliding out of the first finger from the loop is facilitated if the finger is curved, so that the thread glides smoothly over it to the fingertip when the finger hits the thread with its convex side when the loop former is moved back.
  • the second finger remains in the loose knot and prevents it from being pulled tight.
  • the task of an operator is now to guide the knot close to the not yet knotted pearl behind the first holder and to tighten it.
  • a second holder which has a second slot into which the thread can be inserted.
  • This second slot is approximately aligned with the first slot in the first holder and is also open on one side; its one-sided opening lies in the vicinity of the one-sided opening of the first slot, so that the thread, when it is moved laterally out of the first slot, is automatically fed to the second holder and inserted into its slot.
  • the two holders are arranged somewhat offset from one another, in such a way that the second finger, which is movable not only transversely to the pivoting plane of the loop former, but also transversely to its own longitudinal extent, preferably parallel to the pivoting plane, as a result of its movement, which can be rectilinear, but preferably runs in an arc, can be transferred from the position to be knotted from a position behind the first holder to a position in front of the second holder.
  • the loose, not yet tightened knot follows the movement of the second finger; the same applies to the pearl to be knotted, which in this way comes behind the second holder together with the finger and the knot which has not yet been tightened.
  • the loop By pulling the thread taut, the loop is initially narrowed as far as the thickness of the second finger allows.
  • the free end of the thread inevitably extends into a gusset formed between the pearl to be knotted and the second finger in the immediate vicinity of the hole in the pearl. If the second finger is withdrawn from the loop while the thread is being pulled continuously, the knot is automatically pulled into the vanishingly small gap between the second holder and the pearl and lies tightly against it. This process can be promoted by the fact that the second finger gradually tapers towards its tip, so that the loop narrows in a defined manner by pulling back the second finger.
  • the distance between the finger and the second holder must not be too great, so that the knot does not take place in free space. It is optimal if the Movement path of the second finger leads so close to the second holder that between the second holder and the second finger Loop formed thread is located.
  • the slot in the second holder is so narrow as possible, i.e. not wider than the thickness of the thread.
  • the slot starts from its one-sided opening gradually narrowed, or in other words, to its one-sided opening gradually expanded.
  • this facilitates the insertion of the thread when transferring from the first slot into the second slot; at the same time Thread in the narrowing slot to the narrowest point possible for him be performed.
  • Pliers is designed with a fixed jaw and with a movable, to close the pliers by a spring loaded jaws.
  • the movable jaw preferably has one third slot, which is in the flight of the opening when opening the pliers The jaws of the pliers move and thus the effective opening width of the pliers limited.
  • the blocking member of which forms when the next loop is formed Action of the driver or an extension of the driver on the locking member can be unlocked again, causing the second finger to act a spring is moved into its effective position in which it is in the loop engages and holds it open until the next knot is tied down.
  • the shape of the driver should be chosen so that it forms a loop that is sufficient is large to allow the second finger to engage and the free end of the thread, preferably weighted with a weight, without major disability to be able to lead through.
  • the carrier is therefore expedient at the tip of one extending in the swivel plane, around the swivel axis leading, arcuate thread guide part arranged, which a groove or groove for receiving on its arcuate outside a portion of the thread and preferably approximately over one Extends quarter circle, the center of which is the pivot axis.
  • the device according to the invention Even inexperienced persons can use pearl necklaces quickly, without much effort and without great skill with a tight Tie the knot sequence.
  • the device has a substantially cuboid housing 1 with a Floor 2, with side walls 3 and 4, with a front wall 5, with a rear wall 6, with a first cover 7, which (based on the illustration in Figure 1 and Figure 7) located in the left area of the device and in the illustration of Figures 1 to 3 has partially broken away, and with only one in the Figure 7 shown second cover 8, which partially covers the first cover spreads.
  • a vertical axis 9 is supported, which by a crank 10 can be rotated.
  • a thread image 11 consisting of a close to the axis 9 attached, crescent-shaped, upwardly extending fingers 12, a driver 13 for a thread which is at a greater distance from the axis 9 is located and continues in an arcuate guide member 14, which is approximately extends in a quarter circle around the axis 9 and on its outside has a groove or groove 15 in which a thread can be inserted.
  • a first on the cover 7 Holder 16 attached, which is formed by a vertically extending sheet is and has a horizontal slot 17 with one-sided opening 18.
  • a loop holder 19 arranged, which is a second finger, which extends from the bottom up and tapers towards the top.
  • the second finger 19 is located at the end of a lever 20 which is vertical Axis 21 is pivotable and thereby under the action of a compression spring 22 stands, which brings him back to his starting position shown in Figure 1.
  • the finger 19 carrying tip of the lever 20 resiliently down are pressed and carries a rod 23 for this purpose, which from the Housing 1 protrudes so that it can be operated with the finger.
  • the pawl is on a spring plate 25 attached, which is attached to a under the first cover 7 horizontal axis 26 is freely suspended. Moved by gravity the pawl 24 in its locking position shown in Figure 8. By pressure on the free end 27 of the spring plate, the pawl 24 and the lever 20 disengaged and thereby released the locking mechanism, whereupon the lever 20 is moved upwards with the finger 19 by spring force.
  • the free end 27 of the spring plate 25 is arranged in the pivot path of the driver 13, so that the locking mechanism when pivoting the driver is released and the finger 19 is driven upwards.
  • a second holder 28 is attached, which has a horizontal Has slot 29, which is also open on one side; its side opening 30 lies opposite the lateral opening 18 of the first slot 17.
  • the second slot 29 widens towards its opening 30.
  • the second holder 28 is formed as pliers with an upper, fixed jaws 31 and lower movable jaws 32, which against a horizontal axis 33 the force of a spring 34 can be deflected downward.
  • a pearl 35 on a thread 36 this pearl is on the thread 36 pulled up and against a previously formed knot 37 or against one other pearl 38 pushed, which in turn by a knot 37th can be secured.
  • the pearl to be knotted is under insertion of the thread 36 into the slot 17 of the first holder 16 on the back of the first holder 16 arranged and temporarily fixed by pulling the thread 36.
  • the thread 36 becomes driver 13 between axis 9 and first finger 12 and further through an incision 39 in the right side wall 3.
  • the end of the thread, on which further beads 40 can be located, is through a weight 41 weighs down and thus hangs taut down. From the initial position shown in Figure 1, the thread image 11 is by the Crank 10 swiveled clockwise.
  • the driver 13 takes the thread 36 with.
  • the crescent-shaped finger 12 moves with its concave side against the section stretched between the axis 9 and the first holder 16 36a of the thread 36 and thereby holds it in the vicinity of the axis 9, whereas the catch 13 has the portion 36b of the thread on which it acts, takes along its arcuate swivel path (Figure 2) to a position which corresponds to a rotation of the loop former by a three-quarter circle and limited by a not shown stop for the crank 10 can be ( Figure 3).
