Vorliegende Erfindung bezieht sich auf eine Einrichtung zur Absorption von Feuchtigkeit aus der Luft, die ein Gehäuse aufweist, das aus einem Auffangteil und einem damit verbundenen, mindestens eine Aufnahmeöffnung aufweisenden Aufnahmeteil sowie aus mindestens einer trennbar in der Aufnahmeöffnung angebrachten, mit einem Absorptionsmittel gefüllten, auswechselbaren Verpackung besteht. Eine derartige Absorptionseinrichtung ist bekannt . Die bekannte Einrichtung weist ein aus Kunststoff gefertigtes, formfestes Gehäuse auf, das aus zwei trennbar miteinander verbundenen Teilen besteht . Der obere Teil des Gehäuses bildet dabei ein Aufnahmeteil, das zur Aufnahme einer oder mehrerer mit einem Absorptionsmittel gefüllter Kassetten dient. Der untereThe present invention relates to a device for absorbing moisture from the air, which has a housing which consists of a collecting part and a receiving part connected to it, which has at least one receiving opening, and at least one replaceable, replaceable, filled in the receiving opening, filled with an absorbent Packaging exists. Such an absorption device is known. The known device has a plastic housing that is dimensionally stable and consists of two parts that can be separated. The upper part of the housing forms a receiving part which serves to receive one or more cassettes filled with an absorbent. The lower
Teil des Gehäuses bildet ein Auffangteil, in dem sich die der Luft durch das Absorptionsmittel in den Kassetten entzogene Feuchtigkeit ansammelt . Die Kassetten mit dem Absorptionsmittel können eine feste, standardisierte Größe aufweisen, damit sie auf einfache Weise zwischen vielen unterschiedlichen Absorptionseinrichtungen auswechselbar sind.Part of the housing forms a collecting part in which the moisture extracted from the air by the absorbent in the cassettes collects. The cassettes with the absorbent can have a fixed, standardized size so that they can be easily exchanged between many different absorbent devices.
Die bekannte Absorptionseinrichtung hat den Nachteil, daß sie vergleichsweise materialaufwendig ist, wodurch die Einrichtung verhältnismäßig teuer ist und bei der Entsorgung der verbrauchten Einrichtung viel Abfall anfällt .The known absorption device has the disadvantage that it is comparatively expensive, which means that the device is relatively expensive and there is a lot of waste when disposing of the used device.
Die Erfindung sieht daher eine Absorptionseinrichtung der oben beschriebenen Art vor, die zu vergleichsweise niedrigen Kosten hergestellt werden kann und bei der die Entsorgung der verbrauchten Einrichtung die Umwelt vergleichsweise wenig belastet. Dies wird erfindungsgemäß dadurch erreicht, daß zumindest das Aufnahmeteil des Gehäuses durch Biegen aus mindestens einem im wesentlichen flachen Teil geformt ist.The invention therefore provides an absorption device of the type described above, which can be produced at comparatively low costs and in which the disposal of the used device pollutes the environment comparatively little. This is achieved according to the invention in that at least the receiving part of the housing is formed by bending from at least one substantially flat part.
Das Aufnahmeteil ist vorzugsweise aus einigen flachen Teilen zusammengesetzt, die gebogen und miteinander verbunden sind. Die einzelnen Teile können dadurch an sich eine sehr einfache Form haben. Eine besonders einfach und kostengünstig herzustellende Einrichtung wird dabei erreicht, wenn die flachen Teile im wesentlichen gleich sind. Die flachen Teile können aus einem Pianobogen geschnitten sein und aus einem billigen und einfachen Material, das vorzugsweise wiederverwertbar ist (z. B. Zellstoffmaterial wie Papier oder Pappe) , hergestellt werden. Im Hinblick auf den Anwendungszweck ist das betreffende Material dann allerdings selbstverständlich vorzubehandeln, damit es feuchtigkeitsfest wird. Zu diesem Zweck kann das Material beschichtet werden.The receiving part is preferably composed of a few flat parts which are bent and connected to one another. The individual parts can have a very simple shape. A particularly simple and inexpensive device to be produced is achieved if the flat parts are essentially the same. The flat parts can be cut from a piano sheet and made from an inexpensive and simple material that is preferably recyclable (e.g., cellulose material such as paper or cardboard). With regard to the intended use, the material in question must of course then be pretreated so that it becomes moisture-proof. The material can be coated for this purpose.
Die gebogenen Teile sind vorzugsweise trennbar miteinander verbunden. Dazu kann jedes flache Teil mindestens eine Aussparung und/oder Lasche aufweisen, so daß die einzelnen Teile ineinander geschoben und verhakt sein können.The bent parts are preferably separably connected to one another. For this purpose, each flat part can have at least one recess and / or tab, so that the individual parts can be pushed into one another and hooked.

Eine herkömmliche Absorptionseinrichtung 1 (Abbildung 1) weist eine Halterung 2 auf, in der eine auswechselbare Verpackung 3 angebracht ist . Die Halterung 2 besteht aus einem Auffangteil 4 und einem darauf befestigten Aufnahmeteil 5, das die eigentlicheA conventional absorption device 1 (FIG. 1) has a holder 2 in which an exchangeable packaging 3 is attached. The bracket 2 consists of a collecting part 4 and a receiving part 5 fastened thereon, which is the actual one
Verpackung 3 aufnimmt und sie mittels Halteteilen 6 fixiert. Das Auffangteil 4 dient dazu, die Feuchtigkeit oder das Wasser, welche (s) der Luft durch das in der Verpackung 3 enthaltene Absorptionsmittel entzogen wird, aufzufangen. Das Aufhängeteil weist deswegen in einer der Seitenwände 34 ein Sichtfenster 23 auf, so daß festgestellt werden kann, ob sich darin bereits Flüssigkeit angesammelt hat, und weist außerdem einePackage 3 picks up and fixes them with holding parts 6. The collecting part 4 serves the moisture or water, which (s) of the air through the Package 3 contained absorbent is withdrawn to collect. The suspension part therefore has a viewing window 23 in one of the side walls 34, so that it can be determined whether liquid has already accumulated therein, and also has one
Ausflußöffnung 20 auf, die sich am oberen Rand 27 einer Seitenwand 21 des Auffangbehälters 4 befindet. Damit die Absorptionseinrichtung 1 trotz ihrer vergleichsweise hohen und schlanken Form dennoch stabil auf einen Untergrund aufgesetzt werden kann, ohne daß die Gefahr besteht, daß die Einrichtung umfallen könnte und die darin angesammelte Feuchtigkeit auslaufen würde, weist die Einrichtung an der Unterseite einen abtrennbaren Fuß 24 auf, der quer zur Absorptionseinrichtung 1 verläuft und beidseitig darunter hervorragt. Der Fuß 24 weist einige Stifte 37 auf, die in Aussparungen 36 im Boden 35 des Auffangteils 4 greifen.Outflow opening 20, which is located on the upper edge 27 of a side wall 21 of the collecting container 4. So that the absorption device 1, despite its comparatively high and slim shape, can nevertheless be placed stably on a surface without the risk that the device could fall over and the moisture accumulated therein would leak, the device has a detachable foot 24 on the underside , which runs transversely to the absorption device 1 and protrudes below it on both sides. The foot 24 has a few pins 37 which engage in recesses 36 in the bottom 35 of the collecting part 4.
Das Aufnahmeteil 5 ist trennbar mit dem Auffangteil 4 verbunden. Dazu weist das Aufnahmeteil 5 im wiedergegebenen Beispiel an der Unterseite 13 zwei Öffnungen 33 in dessen Querrändern 31 auf. In diese Öffnungen greifen elastisch-biegsame hakenförmige Arme 32, die sich am oberen Rand 27 des Auffangteils 4 befinden. Damit die feuchte Luft mit dem Absorptionsmittel in den Verpackungen 3 in Berührung kommen kann, weist das Aufnahmeteil 5 in den Längsseiten 62 eine große Zahl schlitzförmiger Öffnungen 40 auf. Auch jede Verpackung 3 weist in den Längsseiten 38 schlitzförmige Öffnungen 39 auf, durch die die feuchte Luft in die Verpackung 3 hineinströmen und mit dem darin enthaltenen Absorptionsmittel in Berührung kommen kann.The receiving part 5 is separably connected to the collecting part 4. For this purpose, the receiving part 5 in the example shown has two openings 33 on its underside 13 in its transverse edges 31. Elastic-flexible hook-shaped arms 32, which are located on the upper edge 27 of the collecting part 4, engage in these openings. So that the moist air can come into contact with the absorbent in the packaging 3, the receiving part 5 has a large number of slot-shaped openings 40 in the longitudinal sides 62. Each package 3 also has slot-shaped openings 39 in the longitudinal sides 38, through which the moist air can flow into the package 3 and come into contact with the absorbent contained therein.
Zur Aufnahme der Verpackungen 3 weist das Aufnahmeteil 5 auf der vom Auffangteil 4 abgewandten Seite 14 eine Öffnung 15 auf, deren Form und Größe im wiedergegebenen Beispiel so gewählt wurden, daß zweiTo accommodate the packaging 3, the receiving part 5 has an opening 15 on the side 14 facing away from the collecting part 4, the shape and size of which in the example shown have been chosen so that two
Verpackungen 3 in Längsrichtung nebeneinander aufgenommen werden können. Diese Verpackungen 3 ruhen dabei mit ihrem vorspringenden Umfangsrand 28 auf dem an der Öffnung 15 vorspringenden Umfangsrand 16 des Aufnahmeteils 5. Die Verpackungen 3 werden mittels Halteteilen 6 im Aufnahmeteil 5 befestigt. Im wiedergegebenen Beispiel bestehen diese Halteteile 6 aus einem Verschluß 17, der die gesamte Aufnahmeöffnung 15 umfaßt und an den Enden elastisch-biegsame hakenförmige Arme 29 aufweist (Abbildung 5) . Diese hakenförmigen Arme 29 können in Öffnungen 30 an der Oberseite des Aufnahmeteils 5 greifen. Auf diese Weise werden also die beiden Verpackungen 3 zwischen den Rand 16 des Aufnahmeteils 5 und den Verschluß 17 geklemmt. Im übrigen könnte in dieser Ausführung der Absorptionseinrichtung 1 ebenfalls auf eine der beiden Verpackungen 3 verzichtet werden, wenn die Luft beispielsweise vorübergehend vergleichsweise trocken sein sollte. Der Verschluß 17 würde auch diese eine Verpackung 3 stabil festklemmen.Packaging 3 can be recorded side by side in the longitudinal direction. These packages 3 rest with their projecting peripheral edge 28 on the opening 15 protruding peripheral edge 16 of the receiving part 5. The packs 3 are fastened in the receiving part 5 by means of holding parts 6. In the example shown, these holding parts 6 consist of a closure 17 which encompasses the entire receiving opening 15 and has elastic-flexible hook-shaped arms 29 at the ends (FIG. 5). These hook-shaped arms 29 can engage in openings 30 on the upper side of the receiving part 5. In this way, the two packages 3 are clamped between the edge 16 of the receiving part 5 and the closure 17. Otherwise, in this embodiment of the absorption device 1, one of the two packs 3 could also be dispensed with if the air should be comparatively dry, for example, temporarily. The closure 17 would also clamp this packaging 3 stably.
Die Verpackung 3 , die bei der bisher wiedergegebenen herkömmlichen Absorptionseinrichtung 1 verwendet wird, besteht aus einer formfesten Kassette mit einem Behälterkörper 7, der an der Oberseite 9 offen ist und mittels einer Klappe 8 geschlossen wird. Die Klappe 8 ist mittels Scharnieren 48 mit dem Behälterkörper 7 verbunden. Der Behälterkörper 7, der wie gesagt schlitzförmige Öffnungen 39 zum Einströmen der feuchten Luft aufweist, dient zur Aufnahme des Absorptionsmittels . Dabei kann die Klappe 8 nach Abfüllung des Behälterkörpers 7 zwar mittels einer SchnappVerbindung geschlossen werden, damit sie sich später wieder leicht öffnen läßt und das Absorptionsmittel folglich ausgewechselt werden kann, doch im wiedergegebenen Beispiel wird die Klappe 8 nach Abfüllung des Behälterkörpers 7 daran festgeschweißt . Dazu weist die Klappe 8 einige Öffnungen 49 auf, in die beim Schließen der Klappe 8 die am Rand 28 des Behälterkörpers 7 angebrachten Stifte 50 greifen. Durch kurzes Erhitzen der herausragenden Teile dieser Stifte 50 wird die Klappe 8 am Behälterkörper 7 festgeschweißt . Die oben beschriebene herkömmliche Absorptionseinrichtung 1 bestand aus einem Auffangteil 4 und einem jeweils entsprechend geformten Aufnahmeteil 5, wobei die einzelnen Teile im Spritzgußverfahren hergestellt wurden. Dies gilt als ein vergleichsweise kostspieliges Herstellungsverfahren für die Einrichtung, das darüber hinaus sehr materialaufwendig ist. Daher belastet die Entsorgung der herkömmlichen Absorptionseinrichtung nach deren Verbrauch die Umwelt verhältnismäßig stark. Die Erfindung sieht deshalb die Verwendung eines einfachen Aufnahmeteils 5 vor, das aus einem oder mehreren Teilen eines flachenThe packaging 3, which is used in the conventional absorption device 1 reproduced to date, consists of a dimensionally stable cassette with a container body 7 which is open at the top 9 and is closed by means of a flap 8. The flap 8 is connected to the container body 7 by means of hinges 48. The container body 7, which, as said, has slot-shaped openings 39 for the inflow of the moist air, serves to receive the absorbent. The flap 8 can be closed after filling the container body 7 by means of a snap connection so that it can be easily opened again later and the absorbent can consequently be replaced, but in the example shown the flap 8 is welded to the container body 7 after filling. For this purpose, the flap 8 has some openings 49, into which the pins 50 attached to the edge 28 of the container body 7 engage when the flap 8 is closed. By briefly heating the protruding parts of these pins 50, the flap 8 is welded to the container body 7. The conventional absorption device 1 described above consisted of a collecting part 4 and a correspondingly shaped receiving part 5, the individual parts being produced by the injection molding process. This is considered a comparatively expensive manufacturing process for the device, which is also very expensive. Therefore, the disposal of the conventional absorption device after its consumption pollutes the environment relatively strongly. The invention therefore provides for the use of a simple receiving part 5, which consists of one or more parts of a flat
Ausgangsmaterials geformt wird, die durch Biegen geformt und anschließend trennbar oder aber untrennbar miteinander verbunden werden. Dabei ist es ebenfalls möglich, ein Universalaufnahmeteil 5 zu fertigen, das in Verbindung mit unterschiedlichen Auffangbehältern 4 verwendet werden kann .Starting material is formed, which is formed by bending and then separable or inseparable. It is also possible to manufacture a universal receiving part 5 which can be used in connection with different collecting containers 4.

Pianobogen 19 geschnittenen Teilen 18 (Abbildung 9) gefertigt werden. Die Teile 18 sind dabei vorzugsweise gleich, wobei jeweils zwei um 180° gegenübereinander gedrehte Teile miteinander verbunden werden (Abbildung 10) . Jedes Teil 18, das aus einer dünnen Kunststoffschicht oder einem Laminat aus Zellstoffmaterial wie Papier oder Pappe mit einer feuchtigkeitsabweisenden Schicht hergestellt sein kann, weist dabei eine Längsseite 62 auf, in die einige Öffnungen 40 gestanzt sind. Beiderseits der Längsseite 62 befinden sich Faltlinien 63, die die Längsseite 62 mit umzufaltenden Flügeln 31A, 31B verbinden, die jeweils in Verbindung mit den entsprechenden Flügeln 31B, 31A eines anderen Teils 18 die Seitenwände 31 des Aufnahmeteils 5 bilden.Piano sheet 19 cut parts 18 (Figure 9) can be made. The parts 18 are preferably the same, with two parts rotated by 180 ° relative to one another being connected to one another (FIG. 10). Each part 18, which can be made of a thin plastic layer or a laminate of cellulose material such as paper or cardboard with a moisture-repellent layer, has a long side 62, into which some openings 40 are punched. On both sides of the long side 62 there are fold lines 63 which connect the long side 62 to wings 31A, 31B which are to be folded over and which, in conjunction with the corresponding wings 31B, 31A of another part 18, form the side walls 31 of the receiving part 5.
Die Flügel 31A, 31B können trennbar miteinander verbunden werden, indem sie beispielsweise ineinander verhakt oder geschoben werden. Dazu sind im wiedergegebenen Beispiel in dem Flügel 31A vier Schlitze 64 angebracht, während der Flügel 31B einen einzigen hakenförmigen Ansatz 65 aufweist. Mit Hilfe der vier Schlitze 64 ist es möglich, im Grunde vier gleichförmige Aufnahmeteile 5 unterschiedlicher Größe zu fertigen, die unterschiedlichen Auffangbehältern angepaßt sind. Zur Fertigung des Aufnahmeteils 5 werden die Flügel 31A, 31B einfach umgefaltet, wobei der hakenförmige Ansatz 65 des Flügels 31B des einen Teils 18 in eine der Schlitze 64 des Flügels 31A des anderen Teils 18 geschoben oder darin verhakt wird. Je nach Schlitz 64 kann auf diese Weise folglich die Breite des Aufnahmeteils 5 variiert werden. Das erfindungsgemäße Aufnahmeteil 5 kann ferner an der dadurch gebildeten Aufnahmeöffnung 15 Teile zur Befestigung der Kassette 3 mit dem Absorptionsmittel aufweisen. Auf diese Weise können unabhängig von der Größe des jeweils vorhandenen Auffangbehälters 4 unter allen Umständen Kassetten 3 mit einer standardisierten oder genormten Größe verwendet werden. Unterschiede zwischen der Größe der Kassetten 3 und der Breite der Aufnahmeöffnung 15 werden dabei durch Klemmteile ausgeglichen. Jedes Teil 18 weist daher an der Oberseite außerdem einen Flügel 67 auf, die mittels einer Faltlinie 66 mit der Längsseite 62 verbunden ist. Die beiden gegenübereinander liegenden faltbaren und/oder biegsamen Flügel 67 gewährleisten auf diese Weise eine einigermaßen elastische Befestigung der aufzunehmenden Verpackung oder Kassette 3.The wings 31A, 31B can be connected to one another in a separable manner, for example by hooking or pushing them into one another. These are in reproduced example in the wing 31A four slots 64 are made, while the wing 31B has a single hook-shaped projection 65. With the help of the four slots 64, it is possible to manufacture basically four uniform receiving parts 5 of different sizes, which are adapted to different collecting containers. To manufacture the receiving part 5, the wings 31A, 31B are simply folded over, the hook-shaped extension 65 of the wing 31B of one part 18 being pushed into or hooked into one of the slots 64 of the wing 31A of the other part 18. Depending on the slot 64, the width of the receiving part 5 can consequently be varied in this way. The receiving part 5 according to the invention can furthermore have parts for fastening the cassette 3 with the absorbent at the receiving opening formed thereby. In this way, regardless of the size of the collecting container 4 present, cassettes 3 with a standardized or standardized size can be used under all circumstances. Differences between the size of the cassettes 3 and the width of the receiving opening 15 are compensated for by clamping parts. Each part 18 therefore also has a wing 67 on the upper side, which is connected to the longitudinal side 62 by means of a folding line 66. The two opposing foldable and / or flexible wings 67 in this way ensure a somewhat elastic fastening of the packaging or cassette 3 to be accommodated.
An der Unterseite 13 weist die Längsseite 62 weiter zweimal zwei Einschnitte 68 auf, die Laschen 22 bilden.On the underside 13, the longitudinal side 62 furthermore has two incisions 68, which form tabs 22.
Wenn diese Laschen 22 gegenüber der Fläche der Längsseite 62 umgebogen werden, kann das Aufnähmeteil 5 auf den Rand 27 eines beliebigen Auffangbehälters 4 geklemmt werden (Abbildungen 11, 12) . Auf diese Weise entsteht mit einfachsten Mitteln ein Aufnahmeteil 5, das in Verbindung mit den unterschiedlichsten Auffangbehältern 4 verwendet werden kann. Obwohl die Erfindung oben anhand einiger Beispiele erläutert wurde, ist für Fachleute erkennbar, daß sich die Erfindung nicht darauf beschränkt. So können beispielsweise mehr oder weniger als zwei aus einem Pianobogen geschnittene Teile zur Fertigung desIf these tabs 22 are bent relative to the surface of the long side 62, the receiving part 5 can be clamped onto the edge 27 of any collecting container 4 (FIGS. 11, 12). In this way, a receptacle part 5 is created with the simplest of means, which can be used in connection with the most varied of receptacles 4. Although the invention has been explained above with the aid of a few examples, it will be apparent to those skilled in the art that the invention is not restricted to this. For example, more or less than two parts cut from a piano sheet can be used to manufacture the
Aufnahmeteils verwendet werden. Außerdem müssen die Teile nicht alle gleich sein, sondern sie könnten auch beispielsweise paarweise gleich, spiegelbildlich oder gar völlig verschieden sein. Ferner könnte das Aufnahmeteil auch für die Aufnahme von mehr oder weniger als zwei Kassetten geeignet sein. Der Gegenstand der Erfindung wird demnach ausschließlich durch folgende Patentansprüche bestimmt. Recording part are used. In addition, the parts do not all have to be the same, but they could, for example, also be the same in pairs, mirror images or even completely different. Furthermore, the receiving part could also be suitable for receiving more or less than two cassettes. The object of the invention is therefore determined exclusively by the following claims.
