Description

Die Erfindung betrifft einen Fächer mit einem faltbaren elastischen Rahmen, durch den eine Bespannung aufgespannt ist.The invention relates to a fan with a foldable elastic frame, through which a string is stretched.

Es sind Fächer bekannt, die ein starres Fächerblatt aufweisen, was eine unhandliche Größe bedingt, oder andererseits Fächer, die aufklappbar sind, was jedoch eine wenig robuste Form ergibt. Ein solcher starrer Fächer ist beispielsweise in der US 543.252 A beschrieben.There are known subjects that have a rigid fan blade, which is a cumbersome Size conditioned, or on the other hand fans that are hinged, but what gives a little robust shape. Such a rigid fan is for example in of US 543,252A.

Weiters sind aus der US 5,975.849 A oder der US 4,911.611 A Fächer mit einem elastischen Rahmen bekannt, durch den eine Bespannung aufgespannt ist. Diese Fächer können durch entsprechendes Einklappen des elastischen Rahmens in einen kompakten Zustand gebracht werden, der einen leichten Transport ermöglicht. An dem elastischen Rahmen sind ausklappbare Handgriffe befestigt, die eine zweckentsprechende Verwendung des Fächers ermöglichen. Es hat sich herausgestellt, dass solche Fächer in der Praxis wenig brauchbar sind, da diese Fächer an der Verbindungsstelle zwischen den Handgriffen und dem elastischen Rahmen sehr biegeweich sind, und es daher nicht möglich ist, nennenswerte Luftbewegungen hervorzurufen.Furthermore, from US 5,975,849 A or US 4,911,611 A subjects with a elastic frame known by which a string is stretched. These Compartments can be folded by folding the elastic frame in be brought to a compact state, which allows easy transport. On the elastic frame fold-out handles are attached, the allow a suitable use of the fan. It turned out that such subjects are not very useful in practice, since these subjects at the junction between the handles and the elastic Frame are very pliable, and therefore it is not possible to appreciable To cause air movements.

Aufgabe der vorliegenden Erfindung ist es, einen Fächer zu schaffen, der sowohl robust ist, als auch leicht zusammengelegt werden kann und dennoch eine für den Gebrauch ausreichende Stabilität und Steifigkeit aufweist.The object of the present invention is to provide a fan which both is sturdy, as well as can be easily folded and yet one for the use has sufficient stability and rigidity.

Erfindungsgemäß ist vorgesehen, dass die Enden des elastischen Rahmens in einer Klemmhülse miteinander verbunden sind,According to the invention it is provided that the ends of the elastic frame in a clamping sleeve are connected to each other,

Der erfindungsgemäße Fächer weist eine stabile und robuste Form auf, lässt sich einfach zusammenklappen und dadurch verkleinern und ist einfach und kostengünstig herstellbar. Der Fächer entfaltet sich aus dem zusammengeklappten Zustand selbsttätig.The inventive compartment has a stable and robust shape, can be Just fold it up and make it smaller and it's easy and inexpensive produced. The fan unfolds from the folded state automatically.

Ein besonderer Vorteil der erfindungsgemäßen Lösung besteht darin, dass durch die Verbindung der Enden des elastischen Rahmens in einer Klemmhülse die Möglichkeit geschaffen wird, eine ausreichende Stabilität und Steifigkeit zu erreichen, die zur Erzielung einer entsprechenden Luftbewegung erforderlich ist. A particular advantage of the inventive solution is that by the connection of the ends of the elastic frame in a clamping sleeve the Possibility is created to achieve sufficient stability and rigidity, which is necessary to achieve a corresponding air movement.

Eine festigkeitstechnisch besonders günstige Ausbildung ist gegeben, wenn sich die Enden des elastischen Rahmens in der Klemmhülse tangential annähern. Auf diese Weise ist sichergestellt, dass der Rahmen von der Klemmhülse ausgehend zunächst konkav gekrümmt ist und in einem vorbestimmten Abstand von der Klemmhülse in eine konvexe Krümmung übergeht.A festigkeitstechnisch particularly favorable education is given if tangentially approximate the ends of the elastic frame in the collet. On This way it is ensured that the frame starting from the clamping sleeve initially concavely curved and at a predetermined distance from the Clamping sleeve merges into a convex curvature.

Die Funktionalität des Fächers wird insbesondere dadurch erhöht, dass die Enden des elastischen Rahmens einen Griffabschnitt bilden.The functionality of the fan is particularly increased by the fact that the ends of the elastic frame form a handle portion.

Die Herstellung des erfindungsgemäßen Fächers wird insbesondere dadurch wesentlich erleichtert, dass die Bespannung im Bereich des Rahmens durch eine Naht tunnelförmig ausgebildet ist und den Rahmen umgibt.The preparation of the subject invention is particularly essential facilitates that the covering in the area of the frame by a Seam tunnel-shaped and surrounds the frame.

Eine besonders begünstigte Ausführungsvariante der Erfindung sieht vor, dass der Rahmen in unbelastetem, entfalteten Zustand dreidimensional gekrümmt ist. Die dreidimensionale Krümmung wird dadurch erreicht, dass die Länge der Bespannung in Längsrichtung des Fächers, d.h. von der Klemmhülse zu dem von der Klemmhülse am weitesten entfernten Punkt, dem Scheitelpunkt, etwas geringer ist als die geometrische Länge des Rahmens, die sich im unbelasteten Zustand ohne diese Bespannung einstellen würde. Auf diese Weise ergibt sich bei dem unbelasteten, bespannten Fächer eine dreidimensionale Krümmung des Rahmens und demzufolge eine dreidimensionale Krümmung der Bespannung. Durch diese räumliche Form wird eine besondere Stabilität bewirkt, die es ermöglicht, in der Praxis große Luftmengen zu bewegen.A particularly favorable embodiment of the invention provides that the frame is curved three-dimensionally in the unloaded, unfolded state. The three-dimensional curvature is achieved by the length of the string in the longitudinal direction of the fan, i. from the clamping sleeve to that of the ferrule farthest point, the vertex, slightly lower is considered the geometric length of the frame, which is in the unloaded state without adjusting this clothing. This results in the unloaded, covered fan a three - dimensional curvature of the Frame and consequently a three-dimensional curvature of the fabric. This spatial form brings about a special stability, which makes it possible to to move large volumes of air in practice.

Der Fächer kann auf einfache Weise in eingefaltetem Zustand gehalten werden, wenn im Bereich des Rahmens eine Fixierungsschlinge angebracht ist.The fan can easily be kept in a folded state, if in the area of the frame a fixing loop is attached.

In der Folge wird die Erfindung anhand des in den Figuren dargestellten Ausführungsbeispiels näher erläutert. Es zeigen:

Der erfindungsgemäße Fächer besteht aus einem elastischen Rahmen 1 aus einem Glasfibermaterial oder aus Federstahldraht, durch den eine Bespannung 2, beispielsweise aus textilem Material, aufgespannt ist. Die Bespannung 2 ist im Bereich des Rahmens 1 um diesen herum geführt und durch eine Naht 3 in der Form eines Tunnels 6 ausgebildet, der den Rahmen 1 aufnimmt. Die beiden Enden des Rahmens 1 nähern sich im Bereich eines Griffabschnitts 7 tangential aneinander an und sind durch eine Klemmhülse 4 fest miteinander verbunden. Bei der Ausführungsvariante von Fig. 2 ist zusätzlich eine Fixierungsschlinge 5 vorgesehen, um den Fächer im zusammengeklappten Zustand zu halten.The inventive subjects consists of an elastic frame 1 of a Fiberglass or spring steel wire, through which a string 2, for example, made of textile material, is stretched. The string 2 is in Area of the frame 1 is guided around this and by a seam 3 in the Form of a tunnel 6 is formed, which receives the frame 1. The two ends of the frame 1 approach each other tangentially in the region of a handle portion 7 and are connected by a clamping sleeve 4 firmly together. at 2, a fixing loop 5 is additionally provided in the embodiment variant of FIG. to hold the fan in the folded state.

Die Mittellinie 8 des Fächers, die sich von der Klemmhülse 4 zum Scheitel 9 erstreckt, ist in unbelastetem Zustand gekrümmt, so dass sich eine dreidimensionale Krümmung des Rahmens 1 und damit eine entsprechende Krümmung der Bespannung 2 ergibt. Dies wird im Wesentlichen dadurch erreicht, dass die Bespannung 2 in Längsrichtung kleiner ausgeführt wird als der Rahmen 1 in unbelastetem Zustand ohne Bespannung 2. Die Fig. 3 bis 5 zeigen den Vorgang des Zusammenklappens, wobei in Fig. 3 zunächst der Griffabschnitt 7 in Richtung des Scheitels 9 gebogen und geschoben wird und schließlich durch weitere Bewegung in dieser Richtung die in den Fig. 4 und 5 dargestellten Stellungen erreicht werden. Wie aus Fig. 5 ersichtlich kann dabei durch eine Fixierungsschlinge 5 der zusammengeklappte Zustand gesichert werden.The center line 8 of the fan, which extends from the clamping sleeve 4 to the apex 9, is curved in the unloaded state, so that a three-dimensional Curvature of the frame 1 and thus a corresponding curvature of Covering 2 results. This is achieved essentially by the fact that the covering 2 is made smaller in the longitudinal direction than the frame 1 in unloaded Condition without covering 2. Figs. 3 to 5 show the process of Collapsing, wherein in Fig. 3, first the handle portion 7 in the direction of Vertex 9 is bent and pushed and finally by further movement in this direction, the positions shown in Figs. 4 and 5 are achieved. As can be seen from Fig. 5 can thereby by a fixing loop 5 of folded state can be secured.

Die vorliegende Erfindung ermöglicht es einen Fächer mit hohem Gebrauchswert einfach und kostengünstig herzustellen. Ein solcher Fächer kann beispielsweise als Werbeartikel bei großen Sport- und Kulturveranstaltungen ausgegeben werden und mit einer entsprechenden Werbeaufschrift versehen sein.The present invention enables a fan with high utility value simple and inexpensive to produce. Such a fan can, for example be issued as promotional items at major sports and cultural events and be provided with a corresponding advertising inscription.
