Definitions

  • the invention relates to an eyelet with an annular neck which surrounds a neck opening and a neck integrally formed thereon from the neck opening, which eyelet, inserted in a material web, forms an eyelet, for clamping the same on a web of material, the free end of the neck in the direction to the bottom of the collar is beaded. Furthermore, the invention relates to such a material web inserted eyelet forming eyelet (see DE 9 405 177 U ).
  • Such eyelets are used to make eyelets inserted therefrom into a web of material.
  • a material web are typically tarpaulins, such as container tarpaulins.
  • the eyelets used in such tarpaulins are needed to connect the tarpaulin to, for example, a container or commercial vehicle body for closing it.
  • the tarpaulin is fastened to such a container by attaching the eyes to staples located on the container, through which a closing cable is then guided past the outside of the eyes.
  • this is only one example of many applications for such ⁇ senmaschine.
  • the insertion of the ⁇ senmaschine in the web takes place by means of a forming process, in which the neck is beaded beginning with its free end to the outside until the web is clamped to the desired extent between the beaded neck portion and the underside of the collar.
  • the eyelet is then clamped to the web and forms an eyelet.
  • an opening is made beforehand, typically by punching a hole in the material web.
  • Such eyelets are created among other things from one-piece ⁇ sen former.
  • eyelets which are formed from two parts - an eyelet and a collar disc - is used in one piece set ⁇ sen inconvenience no collar disc on which the beaded neck portion for clamping the web between the collar and the collar disc acts.
  • eyelets With one-piece eyelets the beaded effect free end of the neck directly on top of the web.
  • a formed of a one-piece eyelet, inserted into a web eyelet is in DE 100 39 462 C2 described.
  • the eyelet described in this document is characterized in that the free end of the neck of the eyelet has projections extending longitudinally of the neck.
  • the projections are crimped with such a radius and the crimping continued so long, so that the ⁇ senteil pointing inwardly facing surfaces of the projections parallel to the underside of the collar and thus to the underside of the collar facing are.
  • projections act with the interposition of the material web against the underside of the collar and dig in the course of the crimping process to achieve the desired clamping in the web.
  • the impressions of the projections in the material web serves the purpose of forming a web stage in front of the end face of the projections.
  • the projections are in a spatial position in which the longitudinal axis of the projections are aligned in the radial direction to the neck.
  • Another one-piece eyelet is off US 2,107,375 known. Also, this prior eyelet carries at the free end of the neck in the axial direction of the neck facing projections. The free end of the neck of this eyelet is crimped so far that burrows the free end of the neck with its projections in the web. The abutment, against which the beaded neck end acts to clamp the material web, is formed by the back of the collar. Even with this eyelet can not be completely ruled out that when inserting the eyelet material is drawn from the hole edge area in the direction of the neck, if not stopped in time depending on the thickness of the web of the hemming.
  • the neck length of the eyelet and the set for performing the crimping Flare must be matched to the thickness of the material web. Therefore, these eyelets must be adapted to the thickness of the material web with regard to their neck length. The same applies ultimately also for eyelets according to DE 100 39 462 C2 ,
  • Both aforementioned ⁇ senmaschine can be used to achieve the desired clamping on the hole edge region of the web only in one piece and thus without collar disc.
  • U1 is an eyelet for curtains known.
  • This eyelet is a one-piece eyelet. On the collar inside a circumferential ring and this evenly distributed projecting tips are formed. This eyelet is flanged so that the detected curtain is caught in a labyrinthine manner between the tips and the flared neck end.
  • this eyelet is not suitable for the purposes for which the other eyelets described above are suitable.
  • the invention is therefore the object of developing an aforementioned ⁇ senteil or inserted into a material web and thus an eyelet-forming eyelet such that this not only has more favorable conditions for a higher requirements enough Auszugsfestmaschine, but in which the disadvantages pointed out in relation to the above-discussed prior art with respect to a variability of the use of the ⁇ senmaschine while avoiding a retraction of material when setting the eyelet are avoided.
  • the free end of the neck acts against the protruding from the back of the collar projections, with the interposition of the material web.
  • the web is pressed by the flanged in the course of the insertion neck portion against the projections or the pressure surfaces formed by the projections.
  • the projections press into the web.
  • the projections for the flanging form a stop, with the result that further curling of the free end of the neck is virtually blocked.
  • the projections preferably have a certain areal extent, in particular in the radial direction, relative to the longitudinal axis of the neck opening.
  • portion of the beaded neck acts against the projections or the contact surfaces provided by the projections as an abutment for clamping the hole edge region of the material web.
  • the expansion of the free end face in the radial direction, which acts against the pressure surfaces of the projections, is quite small compared to the pressure surface formed by the projections in this extension.
  • the crimp limitation is particularly effective.
  • the beaded portion of the neck is from the back of the carrier web one of the ring shape of the beaded neck portion corresponding Provided pressure surface with which the material web is pressed with its opposite surface to the projections.
  • the height of the projections is preferably dimensioned such that the neck section formed by the crimping process acts exclusively against the pressure surfaces of the projections and not also against the rear side of the collar.
  • the clamping force provided by the clamping is concentrated in this eyelet on the pressure surfaces of protruding from the back of the collar protrusions, so that a particularly effective clamping of the eyelet used is given to the web.
  • Such an eyelet inserted into a material web can withstand even high pull-out forces.
  • the projecting from the back of the collar protrusions can be created in different ways. For example, it is possible to make the projections by making an impression on the front side (outer side) of the collar, so that each projection is formed in the manner of a bead. According to a further embodiment, it is provided that such an indentation in the region of the deepest of the same is torn open, thus the projection has an opening. By tearing open such a projection, the effective pressure structure increases by forming a ring structure with a larger diameter than when the impression is not open. In addition, through the then created opening, is pressed into the material of the material web, provided a further Ausr Strukturhindernis.
  • the aim is to concentrate the clamping force provided by the crimping on the pressure surfaces of the projections and thereby to increase the surface pressure in the region of the trapped material web sections.
  • An eyelet 1 comprises a collar 2, which is integrally formed at the one end of a hollow cylindrical neck 3 in the radial direction outwardly protruding on the neck 3.
  • the neck 3 includes a neck opening 4.
  • the collar 2 consists in the illustrated embodiment of a curved in the manner of an annular bead portion 5 and an au- ⁇ en lake thereon molded flange portion 6.
  • the free end of the neck 3 has an end face 7.
  • In the curved portion 5 more, with the same angle portion arranged mutually impressions 8 are introduced into the collar 2.
  • protrusions 9 are formed from the underside of the curved portion 5 of the collar.
  • the material of the eyelet 1 is broken in the illustrated embodiment, so that the projections 9 have a central opening 10.
  • the projections 9 have a frustoconical habit.
  • the illustrated in the figures lower end of the projections 9 serves as a pressure surface 11.
  • the pressure surface 11 of the illustrated embodiment is annular.
  • it may happen that such a projection is divided in the region of its lower end.
  • the dividing plane is usually in a radial direction, with the result that the final formation of such a projection is formed by two semicircle segments spaced apart from one another.
  • the eyelet 1 is used to form an eyelet in a material web.
  • the eyelet 1 is used with a ⁇ seneinsetzmaschine in a material web, such as a tarpaulin for closing a container or commercial vehicle body.
  • the inserted into a material web 12 eyelet 1 is in FIG. 4 shown.
  • the eyelet 1 now forms an eyelet 13 in the material web 12.
  • the free end of the neck 3 has been pressed with its end face 7 by a flaring having Bördeltechnikmaschine for flanging the neck.
  • the radius of the flanging groove is chosen so that the flanging of the free end of the neck in the axial direction against the pressure surfaces 11 of the projections 9 acts.
  • the end face 7 acts as a beaded neck portion against the pressure surfaces 11 of the projections 9, as this in FIG. 4 is shown as an example.
  • the end face 7 acts as an annular pressure surface on the rear side 14 of the material web 12 and presses it with its front side 15 against the contact surfaces 11 of the projecting from the curved portion 5 projections 9.
  • the material web shown in the figures is a plastic sheet, the also glass fiber reinforced can be.
  • the height of the projections is dimensioned in the illustrated embodiment so that the end face 7 of the neck 3 acts to clamp the eyelet 13 on the material web 12 exclusively against the pressure surfaces 11 of the projections 9. As a result, in the region of the pressure points 11, a very high surface pressure acting on the material web 12 is achieved.
  • the projections 9 are pressed with their contact surface 11 in the front side 15 of the material web 12.
  • a very effective and particularly effective clamping of the eyelet 13 to the material web 12 is achieved.
  • the longitudinal extension of the projections is aligned parallel to the longitudinal axis of the neck 3.
  • the penetration of the projections 9 in the front 15 of the web 12 also acts as a seal, so that moisture can not penetrate into the interior of the web 12 clamped to the web 12.
  • FIG. 5 shows a ring-segment-like section of a plan view of another eyelet 16.
  • the eyelet 16 is basically constructed as the eyelet 1, but has over the eyelet 1, however, another embodiment of its projections.
  • a U-shaped cut 18 has been made in the curved portion 17 of the collar for each projection.
  • the tab created in this way has been bent downwards in a further processing step and thus in the direction of the free end of the neck 19, so that these bent tabs 20 form the protruding from the collar 21 projections.
  • the lower free end of this Tabs 20 each forms a pressure surface 22 (see. FIG. 6 ).
  • the tabs 20 have a certain extent in the radial direction with respect to the longitudinal axis of the neck 19 of the eyelet 16. This serves the purpose of forming a sufficiently long, effective in this direction abutment, so that even when crimping tolerances of the beaded neck portion acts against the pressure surfaces 22.
