Description

Die Erfindung betrifft einen Aufnahmeblock für eine Anordnung zur Aufbewahrung und Präsentation von Uhrbändern, welcher Aufnahmeblock an einem Ende des Uhrbandes fixierbar ist, wobei die Aufnahmeblock-Uhrband-Einheit in im wesentlichen trogartige Befestigungsbereiche einer Aufnahmeeinheit einlegbar ist, bestehend aus einem Grundkörper und einem Haltezapfen mit dazugehöriger Aufnahmestruktur.The invention relates to a receiving block for an arrangement for storage and presentation of watch bands, which recording block at one end of the watch band is fixable, the receiving block watch band unit in essentially trough-like fastening areas a receiving unit can be inserted, consisting of a base body and a holding pin with the associated mounting structure.

Aus der AT 404 120 B ist eine Anordnung bekannt geworden, bei welcher Uhrbänder in einem Aufnahmeblock gehalten und damit in trogartige Ausnehmungen einer Präsentationstasse eingelegt sind. Der Aufnahmeblock weist dabei nutartige Halteeinheiten auf, in welchen mit beispielsweise dem Uhrband verbundene Befestigungseinheiten eingesetzt und nur dann aus dem Aufnahmeblock herausgenommen werden können, wenn der Aufnahmeblock sich außerhalb der Ausnehmung der Präsentationstasse befindet. Dabei sind vorzugsweise alle besagten Bauteile in Spritzguß- bzw. die Tasse in Folien-Tiefziehtechnik hergestellt.From AT 404 120 B an arrangement has become known in which watch straps held in a recording block and thus in trough-like recesses of a presentation cup are inserted. The receiving block has groove-like holding units in which used with, for example, the watch band fasteners and only can then be removed from the recording block when the recording block is outside the recess of the presentation cup. Are preferred all of the components are injection molded or the cup is made using thermoforming technology.

Eine andere Konstruktion zeigt die Uhrband-Halteplatte der EP 916 293 A2, welche aus einem im wesentlichen flachen Grundkörper besteht, von welchem sich in dessen Ebene je zwei laschenartigen Fortsätze auf zwei gegenüberliegenden Seiten weg erstrecken. Zwischen je zweien dieser Fortsätze ist ein Haltezapfen lösbar befestigt, auf welchem das Uhrband gehalten ist. Durch bereits leichten Zug in der Ebene des Grundkörpers kann der Haltezapfen aufgehen und so das Uhrband gelöst werden und beispielsweise aus der Präsentationstasse oder dem -ständer heraus- bzw. herunterfallen. Auch ist durch die offene Anordnung des Haltezapfens die optisch ansprechende Präsentation nicht für Uhrbänder aller Stärken gewährleistet, der für die dickste Variante ausreichend vom Grundkörper beabstandet sein muß und dann für dünnere Varianten einen sehr großen Spalt zwischen Grundkörper und Uhrband freiläßt.Another construction shows the watch band holding plate of EP 916 293 A2, which consists of an essentially flat base body, of which is located in its plane extend two tab-like extensions on two opposite sides. Between Two of these extensions are releasably attached to a holding pin on which the watch strap is held. Due to a slight pull in the plane of the base body, the retaining pin can open and so the watch strap can be released and, for example, from the presentation cup or fall out or fall off the stand. It is also due to the open arrangement of the holding pin the visually appealing presentation not for all watch straps Strengths guaranteed, which is sufficiently spaced from the base body for the thickest variant must be and then a very large gap between the base body for thinner variants and leaves watch strap free.

Die Aufgabe der vorliegenden Erfindung war ein Aufnahmeblock für eine derartige Anordnung, der für eine Vielzahl von unterschiedlichen Uhrbändern verwendbar und von diesen zerstörungsfrei und auch wiederverwendbar lösbar ist. Darüberhinaus soll ein einfacherer Aufbau als bisher bekannt realisiert werden, so dass sowohl die Herstellung wirtschaftlicher als auch die Handhabung einfacher und rascher möglich sind. Überdies soll ein einziger Aufnahmeblock für Uhrbänder unterschiedlicher Arten und Längen gleichermaßen geeignet sein.The object of the present invention was a recording block for such Arrangement that can be used and used for a variety of different watch bands this is non-destructive and also reusable. In addition, an easier one Construction can be realized as previously known, making both the production more economical as well as handling are easier and faster possible. In addition, a the only mounting block for watch straps of different types and lengths alike be suitable.

Diese Aufgabe wird erfindungsgemäß von einem Aufnahmeblock gelöst, der gekennzeichnet ist durch einen Grundkörper in Form eines im wesentlichen U-förmigen Profils mit einem flächigen Bodenteil und zwei vom Bodenteil im wesentlichen normal auf dessen Ebene senkrecht abstehenden Seitenwänden und durch zumindest einer Aufnahmestruktur in zumindest einer der Seitenwände des Grundkörpers zur lösbaren Aufnahme eines Haltezapfens, wobei die Aufnahmestruktur im wesentlichen senkrecht auf die Ebene des Bodenteils orientiert ist. Damit ist die Anzahl der Bauteile bereits auf maximal zwei verringert und kann aufgrund der lösbaren Aufnahme des Haltezapfens auch oftmals wiederverwendet werden. Uhrbänder beliebiger Art und beliebiger Ausführung, beispielsweise aus Leder oder auch Metall, können am Aufnahmeblock befestigt werden, wobei sie lediglich eine mit dem Aufnahmezapfen zusammenpassende Gegenstruktur aufweisen müssen. Der U-förmige Grundkörper deckt das an ihm befestigte Ende des Uhrbandes od. dgl. nach Einsetzen in eine Präsentationstasse etc. nach oben hin ab und führt so für alle Arten von Bändern zu einer ansprechenden Präsentation. Da die Aufnahmestruktur im wesentlichen senkrecht auf die Ebene des Grundkörpers - und damit auch die Ebene, in welcher das Uhrband od. dgl. in der Präsentationstasse liegt - ausgerichtet ist, ist ein unerwünschtes oder zufälliges Öffnen des Haltezapfens und Abziehen des Uhrbandes in dieser Ebene verhindert, außer mit erheblicher Krafteinwirkung und mit Zerstörung des Aufnahmeblockes.This object is achieved according to the invention by a recording block which is marked is with a base body in the form of a substantially U-shaped profile a flat bottom part and two from the bottom part essentially normal on its level vertically projecting side walls and by at least one receiving structure in at least one of the side walls of the base body for releasably receiving a holding pin, wherein the receiving structure is substantially perpendicular to the plane of the bottom part is oriented. The number of components has thus already been reduced to a maximum of two and can can often be reused due to the detachable mounting of the retaining pin. Watch straps of any kind and design, for example made of leather or Metal, can be attached to the mounting block, using only one with the mounting pin must have a matching counter structure. The U-shaped body covers the end of the watch strap or the like fastened to it after insertion in a presentation cup etc. downwards and leads to an appealing for all types of tapes Presentation. Since the receiving structure is essentially perpendicular to the plane of the base body - and thus also the level in which the watch band or the like in the Presentation cup is lying - is an unwanted or accidental opening of the Holding pin and pulling off the watch band in this plane prevented, except with considerable Application of force and destruction of the mounting block.

Die Verwendung dieses Aufnahmeblocks wird noch weiter vereinfacht, wenn gemäß einem weiteren Merkmal der Erfindung die Aufnahmestruktur durch einen Schlitz gebildet ist, der vom dem Bodenteil abgewandten Rand der Seitenwand des Grundkörpers zumindest zum Teil in Richtung des Bodenteils hin verläuft. Eine derartige, funktionell sichere Aufnahmestruktur ist auch leicht und kostengünstig im Aufnahmeblock herstellbar.The use of this recording block is further simplified if according to a further feature of the invention, the receiving structure is formed by a slot, at least the edge of the side wall of the base body facing away from the base part partly runs in the direction of the bottom part. Such a functionally safe receiving structure is also easy and inexpensive to manufacture in the recording block.

Gemäß einer vorteilhaften Ausführungsform ist der Haltezapfen an einer der Seitenwände des Grundkörpers befestigt und verläuft vom Bodenteil des Grundkörpers senkrecht beabstandet zur gegenüberliegenden Seitenwand. Damit ist die Handhabung weiter erleichtert und der Benutzer hat nur einen einzigen Bauteil in Verwendung, bei dem der Haltezapfen auch bei geöffnetem Aufnahmeblock nicht verloren gehen kann.According to an advantageous embodiment, the holding pin is on one of the side walls attached to the base body and runs vertically from the base part of the base body spaced from the opposite side wall. This makes handling even easier and the user has only a single component in use, in which the retaining pin cannot be lost even when the recording block is open.

Wenn der Haltezapfen schräg vom Boden des Grundkörpers weg verläuft und elastisch in Richtung des Bodenteils hin verformbar ist, und der Schlitz eine Verengung aufweist, deren Durchmesser etwas kleiner ist als der Durchmesser des im Schlitz gehaltenen Abschnittes des Haltezapfens, kann das Einsetzen und Fixieren bzw. das Entfernen des am Aufnahmeblock gehaltenen Uhrbandes weiter vereinfacht werden.If the retaining pin runs obliquely away from the base of the body and is elastic is deformable in the direction of the base part, and the slot has a constriction, whose diameter is slightly smaller than the diameter of the section held in the slot of the retaining pin, the insertion and fixing or removal of the am Recording block held watch band can be further simplified.

Gemäß einem weiteren Merkmal der Erfindung ist vorgesehen, dass der Haltezapfen einstückig mit dem Grundkörper ausgeführt ist. Damit ist auch die Herstellung wesentlich einfacher und wirtschaftlicher möglich, als wenn der Grundkörper und der Haltezapfen separat gefertigt und dann erst zusammengefügt werden.According to a further feature of the invention, it is provided that the holding pin is made in one piece with the base body. Manufacturing is therefore essential easier and more economical than if the base body and the holding pin are separate manufactured and only then put together.

Gemäß einem weiteren Erfindungsmerkmal ist vorteilhafterweise zur Anpassung an unterschiedlich lange Uhrbänder, die am Aufnahmeblock fixiert werden sollen, vorgesehen, dass der Haltezapfen und/oder die bzw. jede Aufnahmestruktur dafür bezüglich der Quermittelebene des U-förmigen Grundkörpers in Richtung auf dessen Ende hin nach außen versetzt ist. Damit kann, je nach Orientierung des Aufnahmeblocks, das gehaltene Band ziemlich unmittelbar aus dem Bereich des Aufnahmeblocks hinaus verlaufen oder aber der Aufnahmeblock umgreift - um 180° gedreht - einen Längsabschnitt des Uhrbandes, das dann mit geringerer Länge aus dem Bereich des Aufnahmeblocks herausragt. Damit können Uhrbänder verschiedener Längen immer schön glatt gespannt in den Aufnahmeeinheiten gehalten und damit ordentlich aufbewahrt und gefällig präsentiert werden.According to a further feature of the invention, it is advantageous to adapt to watch straps of different lengths, which are to be fixed to the mounting block, are provided, that the holding pin and / or the or each receiving structure therefor with respect to the transverse central plane of the U-shaped base body in the direction of its end towards the outside is. Depending on the orientation of the recording block, the held tape can do quite a bit run directly out of the area of the recording block or else the recording block encompasses - rotated by 180 ° - a longitudinal section of the watch strap, which then protrudes from the area of the receiving block with a shorter length. This allows watch straps of different lengths always kept nice and smooth in the mounting units and thus be kept neatly and presented conveniently.

Vorteilhafterweise ist der Aufnahmeblock aus faserverstärktem Kunststoff, vorzugsweise kohlefaserverstärktem Polyamid, hergestellt, und ist somit leicht und trotzdem fest, sowie elastisch verformbar, um einerseits die leichte Bewegung des Haltezapfens und dessen Fixierung und auch beispielsweise das Einsetzen in und Herausnehmen aus einer Ausnehmung einer Präsentationstasse zu erleichtern.The receiving block is advantageously made of fiber-reinforced plastic, preferably carbon fiber reinforced polyamide, is manufactured, and is therefore light, yet strong, as well as elastically deformable, on the one hand, the slight movement of the holding pin and its Fixation and also, for example, the insertion into and removal from a recess a presentation cup.

In der nachfolgenden Beschreibung soll die Erfindung anhand des in den beigefügten Zeichnungen dargestellten Ausführungsbeispiels nicht einschränkend näher erläutert werden. Dabei zeigt die Fig. 1 eine Vorderansicht des Aufnahmeblocks, die Fig. 2 ist eine Seitenansicht und Fig. 3 zeigt eine perspektivische Ansicht von schräg oben, mit einem am Aufnahmeblock befestigten Uhrband in der Anordnung der praktischen Verwendung.In the following description, the invention is based on the in the attached Drawings of the embodiment shown are not explained in any restrictive manner. 1 shows a front view of the receiving block, and FIG. 2 is a side view and FIG. 3 shows a perspective view obliquely from above, with one on the receiving block attached watch strap in the arrangement of practical use.

Gedacht ist der Aufnahmeblock gemäß der vorliegenden Erfindung zur Fixierung an Uhrbändern jeglicher Art, seien es Leder-, Plastik-, Metallbänder od. dgl. Diese Gegenstände können mit dem Aufnahmeblock in nutartige Aufnahmeelemente eingelegt und bei entsprechenden Abmessungen der beiden zusammenwirkenden Teile darin festgeklemmt werden, so dass die Bänder mit geringem Platzaufwand sicher und ordentlich gehalten werden und derart ein universelles, übersichtliches Aufbewahrungs- und Präsentationssystem geschaffen ist. Die Aufnahmeelemente sind in einer Art Präsentations- bzw. Aufbewahrungstasse vorgesehen, in prinzipiell beliebiger Anzahl und Anordnung, vorzugsweise natürlich parallel nebeneinanderliegend, auch in einer oder mehreren Reihen. In einer weiteren Ausführungsform könnten die Außenseite des Aufnahmeblocks und die Innenseiten der Aufnahmeelemente mit zusammenwirkenden Halte- und/oder Verriegelungsstrukturen versehen sein.The receiving block according to the present invention is intended for fixation Watch straps of any kind, be it leather, plastic, metal straps or the like. These objects can be inserted with the receiving block in groove-like receiving elements and with appropriate Dimensions of the two interacting parts are clamped therein, so that the tapes are kept safe and tidy with little space and created a universal, clear storage and presentation system is. The receiving elements are provided in a kind of presentation or storage cup, in principle any number and arrangement, preferably of course lying parallel next to each other, also in one or more rows. In another embodiment could be the outside of the receiving block and the inside of the receiving elements be provided with cooperating holding and / or locking structures.

Wie in Fig. 1 gezeigt ist der erfindungsgemäße Aufnahmeblock U-förmig ausgeführt und weist einen vorzugsweise flächigen Bodenteil 1 auf, der in der in die Aufnahmeelemente eingelegten Position wie in der Zeichnung dargestellt nach oben hin, d.h. auf den Betrachter hin und von der Präsentationstasse oder dem Präsentationsständer weg, orientiert ist. Dabei können auf der Außenseite des Bodenteils 1 des Aufnahmeblocks Markierungen, Beschriftungen od. dgl. allenfalls lösbar angebracht oder entsprechenden Einrichtungen zum Anbringen derartiger Markierungen vorgesehen sein. Wie in Fig. 3 zu erkennen ist, kann die Außenseite des Bodenteils 1 mit einer Vertiefung 1a zur Aufnahme der Markierung, Beschriftung od. dgl. versehen sein. Vom Rand des Bodenteils 1 geht vorzugsweise rechtwinkelig auf dessen Ebene je ein Seitenteil 2 aus. Die Außenseiten der Seitenteile 2 kommen im in die Präsentations- bzw. Aufbewahrungstasse eingesetzten Zustand mit den Seitenwänden der nutartigen Aufnahmeelemente in Berührung und klemmen - die entsprechend abgestimmten Dimensionen vorausgesetzt - den Aufnahmeblock und damit auch den daran befestigten Gegenstand in der Tasse fest.As shown in Fig. 1, the receiving block according to the invention is U-shaped and has a preferably flat bottom part 1, which in the in the receiving elements inserted position as shown in the drawing upwards, i.e. to the viewer towards and away from the presentation cup or the presentation stand. there can markings, inscriptions on the outside of the bottom part 1 of the mounting block or the like. At most detachably attached or appropriate devices for attachment such markings may be provided. As can be seen in Fig. 3, the outside of the bottom part 1 with a recess 1a for receiving the marking, lettering or the like. From the edge of the bottom part 1 is preferably at right angles at its level one side part 2 each. The outer sides of the side parts 2 come in the presentation or storage cup inserted state with the side walls of the groove-like receiving elements in contact and clamp - the correspondingly coordinated Assuming dimensions - the mounting block and thus also the one attached to it Item stuck in the cup.

Zur Fixierung des Uhrbandes am Aufnahmeblock geht von einem der Seitenteile 2 ein vorzugsweise einstückig damit ausgeführter Haltezapfen 3 aus. An der gegenüberliegenden Seitenwand ist eine Aufnahmestruktur für das jeweilige Ende des Haltezapfens 3 vorgesehen, die derart senkrecht auf die Ebene des Bodenteils 1 orientiert ist, dass das darin eingesetzte Ende des Haltezapfens 3 zumindest zum Teil nur senkrecht zur die Ebene des Bodenteils bewegt werden kann, nicht aber in dieser Ebene, welche in der Gebrauchsstellung des Aufnahmeblockes auch mit der Ebene des daran befestigten Uhrbandes, Gürtels od. dgl. im wesentlichen übereinstimmt. Beispielsweise kann die Aufnahmestruktur in Form eines vom Rand des Seitenteils 2 in Richtung Bodenteil 1 hin verlaufenden Schlitzes 4 vorgesehen sein.To fix the watch strap to the mounting block, one of the side parts 2 a holding pin 3 preferably made in one piece therewith. On the opposite Sidewall is provided a receiving structure for the respective end of the holding pin 3, which is oriented perpendicular to the plane of the bottom part 1 in such a way that the one used therein End of the holding pin 3 at least in part only perpendicular to the plane of the bottom part can be moved, but not in this plane, which is in the position of use the receiving block also with the level of the watch strap, belt or the like attached to it. essentially matches. For example, the receiving structure in the form of a provided from the edge of the side part 2 in the direction of the bottom part 1 slit 4 his.

Um ein unbeabsichtigtes Aufbiegen des Haltezapfens 3 und Lösen des Uhrbandes vom Aufnahmeblock zu vermeiden, ist vorzugsweise zusätzlich ein Rastmechanismus vorgesehen, der im dargestellten Beispiel (siehe Fig. 2) durch eine Verengung 4a an einer Stelle des Schlitzes 4 an zumindest einer der Seiten des Schlitzes 4, vorzugsweise an beiden Seiten, gebildet ist. Das Ende des Haltezapfens 3 schnappt hinter der Verengung 4a ein und kann dann vorteilhafterweise zerstörungsfrei wieder gelöst werden, so dass die Wiederverwendung des Aufnahmeblocks möglich ist. In der in das Aufnahmeelement eingesetzten Position hingegen ist durch die Dicke des am Haltezapfen 3 fixierten Uhrbandes ein Herausdrücken aus dem Schlitz nicht möglich, sehr wohl aber die Ausübung einer Zugkraft auf das Uhrband in dessen Längsrichtung und auch schräg nach oben, aus dem Aufnahmeelement heraus.To inadvertently bend the retaining pin 3 and loosen the watch strap to avoid the mounting block, a locking mechanism is preferably additionally provided, that in the example shown (see FIG. 2) by a constriction 4a at one point of the slot 4 on at least one of the sides of the slot 4, preferably on both Sides, is formed. The end of the holding pin 3 snaps behind the constriction 4a and can then advantageously be resolved non-destructively, so that the reuse of the recording block is possible. In the inserted in the receiving element Position, on the other hand, is a pressing out due to the thickness of the watch strap fixed to the holding pin 3 not possible from the slit, but the exercise of a tractive force on the Watch strap in its longitudinal direction and also diagonally upwards, from the receiving element out.

Der Haltezapfen 3 ist in der eingerasteten Stellung ausreichend von der Innenseite des Bodenteils 1 hin beabstandet, d.h. verläuft senkrecht zur Ebene des Bodenteils 1 beabstandet zwischen den beiden gegenüberliegenden Seitenwänden 2, damit zu haltende Bänder vieler unterschiedlicher Größen und Typen mit einer Öse, Lasche od. dgl. auf den Haltezapfen 3 aufgeschoben und am Aufnahmeblock fixiert werden können. Der Haltezapfen 3 kann dabei in der Grundstellung wie in Fig. 1 in der durchgezogenen Darstellung vorgesehen sein, so dass er zum Aufschieben des Uhrbandes unter Krafteinwirkung gegen eine elastische Rückstellkraft herausgebogen werden muss. Andererseits ist auch eine Grundstellung wie in Fig. 1 in gestrichelter Darstellung gezeichnet möglich, bei welcher der Haltezapfen 3 im Ruhezustand vom Bodenteil 1 weg zeigt und mit dem aufgeschobenen Gegenstand gegen eine Kraft auf den Bodenteil 1 hin und in den Schlitz 4 hinein gedrückt werden muss. The holding pin 3 is sufficient in the locked position from the inside of the bottom part 1, i.e. runs perpendicular to the plane of the base part 1 spaced between the two opposite side walls 2, so to be held Tapes of many different sizes and types with an eyelet, tab or the like on the Retaining pin 3 can be pushed on and fixed to the mounting block. The holding pin 3 can be provided in the basic position as in Fig. 1 in the solid representation be so that he can push on the watch band with force against an elastic Restoring force must be bent out. On the other hand, it is also a basic position as shown in Fig. 1 in dashed lines possible, in which the retaining pin 3 shows at rest from the bottom part 1 and with the object pushed on must be pressed against a force on the bottom part 1 and into the slot 4.

Wie in Fig. 3 dargestellt ist, sind der Haltezapfen 3 und dessen Aufnahmestruktur 4 von der Längsmitte des Bodenteils 1 hin nach außen hin versetzt, d.h. befinden sich näher einem der Längsenden des Aufnahmeblockes als dem anderen Längsende. Damit kann der Gegenstand G vom vorteilhafterweise außerhalb der Längsmitte des Aufnahmeblocks vorgesehenen Haltezapfen 3 ausgehend direkt nach außen hin vom Aufnahmeblock wegragen, wobei der Grundkörper 1, 2 aber das Ende des Uhrbandes od. dgl. an drei Seiten umfaßt. Um aber in Aufnahmeelementen einer Größe Gegenstände unterschiedlicher Längen gleichermaßen ordentlich und sicher einlegen und halten zu können, kann der Aufnahmeblock aber auch um 180° gedreht montiert werden, so dass der U-förmige Aufnahmeblock das an ihm fixierte Ende des Gegenstandes G über eine noch etwas größere Länge Aufnahmeeinheiten geeigneter Höhe können auch zwei oder mehrere Aufnahmeblöcke übereinander eingesetzt werden. Auch ist das Längen-zu-Breiten-Verhältnis je nach Breite der aufzubewahrenden Gegenstände und der Aufnahmeeinheiten in der Präsentations- und Aufbewahrungstasse im Prinzip beliebig wählbar. Wenn an beiden Endes des Gegenstandes je ein Aufnahmeblock vorgesehen ist, kann bei Einsetzen und Festklemmen im Aufnahmeelement jedes beliebige Uhrband in geradem, gespanntem Zustand aufbewahrt werden, was insbesonders bei der Präsentation von Metalluhrbändern wünschenswert ist.As shown in FIG. 3, the holding pin 3 and its receiving structure 4 offset from the longitudinal center of the bottom part 1 to the outside, i.e. are closer one of the longitudinal ends of the receiving block than the other longitudinal end. So that the Object G is advantageously provided outside the longitudinal center of the receiving block Protruding the retaining pin 3 directly outwards from the mounting block, wherein the base body 1, 2 but the end of the watch band or the like. On three sides. But around objects of different lengths in receiving elements of one size Being able to insert and hold equally and securely can Mounting block can also be mounted rotated by 180 °, so that the U-shaped Block the end of the object G fixed to it over an even larger one Length recording units of a suitable height can also have two or more recording blocks are used one above the other. The length-to-width ratio also depends on Width of the objects to be stored and the recording units in the presentation and storage cup can be chosen in principle. If at either end of the item One mounting block is provided, can be inserted and clamped in the Pick-up element stores any watch strap in a straight, tensioned state what is particularly desirable when presenting metal watch straps.
