Definitions

  • the invention relates to a closure for connecting at least two pieces of material, in particular material layers, with two partially spaced closure elements.
  • a safety pin is a simple design a U-shaped bent needle, at the ends of which is a sleeve.
  • This sleeve is fixedly connected to one end of the needle, so that this side is rigid, while the other side, which is tapered and thus has a lancing function, is movable within its radius of tension.
  • this side of the needle can be inserted into the inside lateral slot of the sleeve.
  • the simple U-shape is often formed in addition to a screw.
  • With the safety pin you can put two parts together and hold them together. It thus serves as a closure.
  • Safety pins which are designed in their design as a piece of jewelry, are referred to as brooches. The user thus remains free, whether he wants to use this only as a piece of jewelry or also in their function as a means of connection.
  • safety pins As an alternative or in addition to buttons, zippers, hooks, etc., for example as a closure for pants, T-shirts, jackets, bags, shoes, etc. Both the lancing function and the mobility The part of the safety pin that performs the lancing function poses a risk of injury to the user. Thus, a safety pin with their typical characteristics as closure possibility, on which the use or use of a commodity depends, not suitable.
  • Object of the present invention is therefore to provide a closure that does not pose a risk of injury to a consumer.
  • a closure of the type mentioned above in that the first closure element has at least one fastening means and the second closure element has an interruption.
  • a connection of a plurality of material layers for example several parts of a garment, can take place via the fastening means, without thereby representing a risk of injury to a user.
  • Due to the interruption of the one closure element it is still possible to realize the appearance of a safety needle in use, that is to say a safety needle introduced into a material layer.
  • the closure is preferably made of a metal, in particular noble metal, or a metal alloy. The choice of material may depend on the expected load on the closure.
  • first and second closure elements may be interconnected at two locations. Preferably, they are connected together at their ends. As a result, the first and second closure element can be arranged substantially parallel to one another and thus represent the appearance of a conventional safety pin.
  • the one connection point is equipped with a sleeve in the manner of a safety pin and the other connection point U-shaped or formed with a helical shape.
  • the closure When the device is in the form of a safety pin interrupted on one side, the closure, when closed, looks like a safety pin piercing the material that decorates it. This optical illusion is achieved by the side of the Safety pin, which exerts the puncture function in a conventional safety pin, is clearly visible interrupted.
  • the fastening means is designed as a hinge, which can engage behind a piece of material with its movable hinge part. Due to the mobility of the hinge, the movable hinge part can be easily pushed through an opening in a material layer.
  • the hinge is designed as a hinged clamping hinge.
  • a hinged clamping hinge can be used to hold and adjust a material layer particularly well.
  • the hinged hinge may be similar to the hinge used in ear jewelry.
  • the movable hinge part has a hook-shaped extension at its free end.
  • a hook-shaped extension can absorb tensile loads particularly well and is easy to handle.
  • the hook-shaped extension may be formed on the hinge part or constitute an additional element attached thereto.
  • the fixed, connected to the first closure part hinge part has a length whose length corresponds approximately to the thickness of a material layer. This results in a good fit of the closure on the material layer, since the bridge is not too long, on the other hand, the mobility of the hinge is not affected, since the bridge is not too short.
  • the fastening means is designed for a predetermined tensile load.
  • the tensile load can be adjusted for example by the choice of material, the material thickness, the bending, curvature or curvature and the size of the hook-shaped extension and / or the hinge parts.
  • a corresponding curvature or curvature of the hinge and hook-shaped extension can be different contact points of the material layer to the Set lock. These parameters can also be used to adjust the contact pressure of the hinge.
  • an eyelet for hooking the hook-shaped extension is provided, which is arranged on a piece of material, wherein the length of the movable hinge part is adapted to the position of the eyelet. This results in a particularly simple closure possibility of two pieces of material.
  • the shape and size of the hook-shaped extension is adapted to the eyelet.
  • the optical illusion caused by the closure according to the invention appears to be particularly realistic if the fastening means is arranged approximately centrally with respect to the interruption of the first element.
  • a connection with only one fastener may be sufficient if the fastener is not too large and not too heavy and the material to be joined is not too thin, too thick or too immovable.
  • the first closure element in particular the decorative piece, non-detachable, in particular by means of rivets, is connected to a material layer. As a result, it is held captive on a material layer. This is particularly advantageous when using the closure according to the invention with a garment.
  • the first closure element is connected to the second closure element at a first location and the first closure element is connected to the second closure element at a second location by a sleeve-like structure.
  • the sleeve-like structure can be modeled on the closure of a safety pin.
  • the first and second closure element are adapted to the sleeve-like structure and / or the sleeve-like structure is adapted to the first and second closure element.
  • a connecting means may be provided on the first and / or second closure element for the mutual connection of the closure elements. If a connecting element is provided in each case, they can be adapted to each other.
  • An embodiment is characterized in that a connecting means is provided on the first closure element and the second closure element has the shape of a safety needle interrupted on one side and can be fastened to the connecting means of the first closure element.
  • the second closure element can for example be plugged or clipped onto a suitably designed first closure element. In this case, the first and second closure element are connected to each other only in one place.
  • Fig. 1 shows a first embodiment of a closure with a

  • FIG. 1 shows a closure 1 which has a first closure element 2 and a second closure element 3 spaced apart in sections thereof, the closure element 3 having an interruption 4.
  • the closure 1 has the shape of a safety pin with an interruption 4.
  • a fastening means 7 is provided which has a movable hinge part 8, on which a hook-shaped projection 9 is located.
  • the fastening means 7 is arranged centrally with respect to the interruption 4.
  • the connection is formed as a sleeve-like structure 21, which may be materially connected to the closure elements 2, 3 or may be a separate part, which is adapted to connect the closure elements 2, 3.
  • two fastening means 7 are provided, these being arranged in the end regions of the interruption 4.
  • the mounting angle of the fastening means 7, in particular a fixed part of the fastening means 7, can be specified.
  • the contact pressure of the closure 1 can be adjusted to a material layer, wherein further parameters, such as the thickness, strength, etc., of the material layer can be taken into account.
  • the contact pressure can be also by the curvature, curvature, etc. of the first closure part 2, also in

  • Fixing means 7 and 9 hook-shaped extension set It can be seen from the side view of FIG. 3 that the fastening means 7 are attached to the first closure element 2 with a fixed hinge part 10.
  • the length of the web 11 is dimensioned so that it corresponds approximately to the thickness of a material layer.
  • the hook-shaped extension 9 may be formed on the movable hinge part 8 as formed from the bend hooks.
  • the first closure part 2 is plate-shaped. In this case, the closure 1 has only the closure part 2. However, the closure 1 shown in FIG. 5 could also be combined with a second closure element.
  • the first closure part 2 may be formed as a decorative piece.
  • the movable hinge part 8 is folded out and can thus be pushed through in the direction of arrow 12 through an opening 13 in a material layer 14.
  • the movable hinge part 8 preferably has locking opening angles with respect to the first closure part 2 of 90 ° and 180 °. In the 180 ° position, the movable hinge part 8 can be performed through the opening 13. Thereafter, the hinge part 8 can be folded briefly and then opened again. As a result, the material layer 14 can be brought into contact with the first closure element 2 particularly well.
  • FIG. 8 shows a plan view of a second material layer 20 to which an eyelet 16 is fastened.
  • the hook-shaped extension 9 is suspended in the eyelet 16.
  • first closure part 2 is located above the first material layer 14.
  • the fastening means 7 projects through the first material layer 14.
  • the movable hinge part 8 is folded in the direction of the first closure part 2.
  • the hook-shaped extension 9 is suspended in the eyelet 16, which is fastened to the second material layer 20.
  • the first material layer 14 bulges in the interruption 4 of the second closure element 3. This happens because the material layer 14 lays over the movable hinge part 8 of the fastener. This gives the impression that the first material layer 14 has been pierced by a needle. Due to the bulge, the closure 1 is held more firmly in its desired position. In order to enhance the impression of the state punctured by a needle, the portions of the second closure element 3 delimiting the interruption 4 can be bent downwards.
  • the second closure element 3 can be bent. Perpendicular to the plane of the drawing, the fastening means 7 and further closure devices 18, such as a button, may be arranged alternately.
