Description

Die Erfindung betrifft eine Betrachtungsvorrichtung mit einem eine Vorderwand und eine Rückwand aufweisenden Gehäuse, wobei die Vorderwand mindestens eine Sichtöffnung zum Betrachten eines im Inneren des Gehäuses auf einem Objektträger befindlichen flachen Objektes aufweist.The invention relates to a viewing device having a housing having a front wall and a rear wall, the front wall having at least one viewing opening for viewing a flat object located on a slide inside the housing.

Eine derartige Betrachtungsvorrichtung ist beispielsweise aus der nicht vorveröffentlichten deutschen Patentanmeldung Nr. 10 2005 056 873.4 (= WO-A-2007 059739 ) bekannt. Bei der in dieser Patentanmeldung offenbarten Betrachtungsvorrichtung sind die Vorder- und Rückwand entlang zweier gegenüberliegender Verbindungslinien miteinander verbunden und weisen jeweils in einem vorgegebenen Abstand von den Verbindungslinien eine Knicklinie auf, derart, daß das Gehäuse von einer Ruheposition, bei welcher die Vorder- und Rückwand flach aneinander anliegen, in eine Betrachtungsposition, bei welcher die Vorder- und Rückwand voneinander beabstandbar angeordnet sind, aufrichtbar ist. Dadurch weist das Gehäuse in der Betrachtungsposition eine kastenförmige Form mit im wesentlichen rechteckförmigem Querschnitt auf und wird durch eine vordere Wand, eine hintere Wand und zwei Seitenwänden umschlossen. Der Objektträger ist mit einem ersten Ende fest mit einer Seitenwand des Gehäuses verbunden, während sein gegenüberliegendes zweites Ende in der Ruheposition des Gehäuses frei in dieses hineinragt. Außerdem besitzt der Objektträger eine Breite, die größer ist als die Breite der vorderen Wand, aber kleiner als die Breite der Vorderwand, so daß er in der Betrachtungsposition des Gehäuses eine zur hinteren Wand hin gewölbte Oberfläche aufweist.Such a viewing device is known for example from the German patent application no. 10 2005 056 873.4 (= WO-A-2007 059739 ) known. In the viewing device disclosed in this patent application, the front and rear walls are connected along two opposite connecting lines and each have a crease line at a predetermined distance from the connecting lines, such that the housing is flat from a rest position where the front and rear walls are flat abut each other, in a viewing position, in which the front and rear walls are arranged spaced from each other, is erectable. As a result, the housing in the viewing position has a box-like shape with a substantially rectangular cross-section and is enclosed by a front wall, a rear wall and two side walls. The slide is fixedly connected at a first end to a side wall of the housing, while its opposite second end freely projects into the rest position of the housing. In addition, the slide has a width which is greater than the width of the front wall, but smaller than that Width of the front wall, so that it has a curved towards the rear wall surface in the viewing position of the housing.

Als nachteilig hat es sich bei der vorstehend erwähnen Betrachtungsvorrichtung erwiesen, daß bei der Verbindung des Objektträgers mit der Seitenwand des Gehäuses dieses in der Betrachtungsposition nicht in einer stabilen Lage verharrt, es sei denn, die bei dieser Vorrichtung vorgesehene Öffnungshilfe wird in einer nach außen gerichteten Stellung gehalten oder mit der Rückwand des Gehäuses, beispielsweise mittels eines Klettverschlusses, verbunden.It has proved to be disadvantageous in the above-mentioned viewing device that when the object carrier is connected to the side wall of the housing, it does not remain in a stable position in the viewing position, unless the opening aid provided in this device is directed in an outward direction Position held or connected to the rear wall of the housing, for example by means of a hook and loop fastener.

In der US-A-6 163 991 ist eine Betrachtungsvorrichtung beschrieben, mit einem eine Vorderwand und eine Rückwand aufweisenden Gehäuse, wobei die Vorderwand eine Sichtöffnung zum Betrachten eines im Inneren des Gehäuses auf einem Objektträger befindlichen flachen Objektes aufweist, und wobei die Vorder- und Rückwand entlang zweier gegenüberliegender Verbindungslinien miteinander verbunden sind und jeweils in einem vorgegebenen Abstand von den Verbindungslinien jeweils eine Knicklinie aufweisen, derart, dass das Gehäuse von einer Ruheposition, bei welcher die Vorder- und Rückwand flach aneinander anliegen, in eine Betrachtungsposition, bei welcher die Vorder- und Rückwand voneinander beabstandbar angeordnet sind, aufrichtbar ist, so dass das Gehäuse eine kastenförmige Gestalt aufweist mit einer vorderen Wand, einer hinteren Wand und zwei Seitenwänden.In the US-A-6,163,991 a viewing device is described having a housing having a front wall and a rear wall, the front wall having a viewing opening for viewing a flat object located on a slide inside the housing, and wherein the front and rear walls are interconnected along two opposing connecting lines and each having a crease line at a predetermined distance from the connecting lines, such that the housing from a rest position, wherein the front and rear wall abut flat against each other, in a viewing position in which the front and rear walls are arranged spaced apart, erectable is, so that the housing has a box-like shape with a front wall, a rear wall and two side walls.

Der vorliegenden Erfindung liegt die Aufgabe zugrunde, eine Betrachtungsvorrichtung anzugeben, die in ihrer Ruheposition einen möglichst flachen Aufbau besitzt und auf einfache Weise in eine reproduzierbare Betrachtungsposition veränderbar ist, wobei die Betrachtungsvorrichtung in dieser Position ohne Verwendung zusätzlicher Teile verbleibt.The present invention has for its object to provide a viewing device that has a flat as possible construction in its rest position and is easily changeable into a reproducible viewing position, the viewing device remains in this position without the use of additional parts.

Diese Aufgabe wird erfindungsgemäß durch die Merkmale des Anspruchs 1 gelöst. Weitere, besonders vorteilhafte Ausgestaltungen der Erfindung offenbaren die Unteransprüche.This object is achieved by the features of claim 1. Further, particularly advantageous embodiments of the invention disclose the dependent claims.

Der Erfindung liegt im wesentlichen der Gedanke zugrunde, den Objektträger nicht mit einer Seitenwand des Gehäuses, sondern im Bereich einer Verbindungslinie zwischen Vorder- und/oder Rückwand mit dem Gehäuse fest zu verbinden, und zwar im Bereich derjenigen Verbindungslinie, welche in der Betrachtungsposition die vordere Wand seitlich begrenzt.The invention is based essentially on the idea not to connect the slide with a side wall of the housing, but in the region of a connecting line between the front and / or rear wall with the housing, in the region of that connecting line, which in the viewing position, the front Wall bounded laterally.

Durch diese Maßnahme wird erreicht, daß beim Aufrichten des Gehäuses durch Ausübung eines seitlichen Druckes auf die Verbindungslinien der dem zweiten Ende zugewandte Bereich des Objektträgers sich zunächst innenseitig an die hintere Wand anlegt, um dann mit seinem freien zweiten Ende entlang der benachbarten Seitenwand in die in der Vorderwand vorgesehene und die entsprechende Seitenwand begrenzende Knicklinie zu gleiten. Dabei stützt sich der Objektträger mit seinem mittleren Bereich an dem mittleren Wandbereich der hinteren Wand ab und hält das Gehäuse in seiner Betrachtungsposition (entsprechende Steifigkeit des Objektträgers vorausgesetzt), ohne daß zur Fixierung des Gehäuses in seiner Betrachtungsposition eine zusätzliche Öffnungshilfe erforderlich ist.By this measure it is achieved that when erecting the housing by exerting a lateral pressure on the connecting lines of the second end facing the region of the slide initially applies the inside to the rear wall, in order then with its free second End slide along the adjacent side wall in the provided in the front wall and the corresponding side wall delimiting bending line. In this case, the slide is supported with its central region on the central wall portion of the rear wall and holds the housing in its viewing position (appropriate stiffness of the slide suppose) without the attachment of the housing in its viewing position an additional opening aid is required.

Um ein sicheres Gleiten des freien Endes des Objektträgers entlang des benachbarten Seitenwandbereiches bei dem Öffnungs- und Schließvorgang der Betrachtungsvorrichtung zu gewährleisten, hat es sich als zweckmäßig erwiesen, wenn das freie zweite Ende des Objektträgers entsprechend gut gleitend ausgebildet ist.In order to ensure a safe sliding of the free end of the slide along the adjacent side wall area in the opening and closing operation of the viewing device, it has proved to be useful if the free second end of the slide is designed to slide well.

Dieses kann beispielsweise durch eine Abrundung des zweiten Endes des Objektträgers, durch eine Kunststoffbeschichtung oder durch eine Biegekante erfolgen. Sofern die Biegekante derart gewählt wird, daß der umgebogene Bereich zur vorderen Wand hin zeigt, kann die Biegekante gleichzeitig zum Führen und Halten des von dem Objektträger zu tragenden Objektes dienen.This can be done for example by a rounding of the second end of the slide, by a plastic coating or by a bending edge. If the bending edge is selected such that the bent portion points towards the front wall, the bending edge can simultaneously serve for guiding and holding the object to be supported by the slide.

Als Material für das Gehäuse und/oder den Objektträger kann sowohl Pappe (Karton) als auch Kunststoff, aber auch ein entsprechend geeignetes Metall verwendet werden. Auch Materialkombinationen aus starren und flexiblen, nicht transparenten und transparenten Werkstoffen (z.B. mit Klarsichtfolie kaschiertem Karton), die beispielsweise durch Verkleben miteinander verbunden werden, sind möglich.As a material for the housing and / or the slide both cardboard (cardboard) and plastic, but also a suitably suitable metal can be used. It is also possible to combine materials of rigid and flexible, non-transparent and transparent materials (for example cardboard laminated with transparent film), which are joined together, for example by gluing.

Bei dem Objektträger kann es sich auch um das Objekt selber handeln. Dabei kommen als Objekte nicht nur Bilder (Fotografien etc.) in Betracht, sondern es kann sich auch um ein aus LCD-Elementen bestehendes Display, um ein organisches Display oder ein aus elektronischem Papier bestehendes Display handeln.The slide may also be the object itself. Not only images (photographs, etc.) can be considered as objects, but it can also be a display consisting of LCD elements, an organic display or a display consisting of electronic paper.

Bei einer Betrachtungsvorrichtung, die beispielsweise als Handy verwendet werden kann, hat es sich als besonders vorteilhaft erwiesen, wenn die vordere und/oder hintere Wand der Betrachtungsvorrichtung eine nach außen gewölbte Oberfläche aufweist, so daß die Vorrichtung von dem jeweiligen Benutzer sowohl in der Ruheposition als auch in der Betrachtungsposition des Gehäuses gut umgriffen werden kann.In a viewing device that can be used, for example, as a mobile phone, it has proven to be particularly advantageous if the front and / or rear wall of the viewing device has an outwardly curved surface, so that the device of the respective user both in the rest position as Also in the viewing position of the housing can be well grasped.

Insbesondere für Werbemaßnahmen ist es außerdem möglich, die Betrachtungsvorrichtung derart auszugestalten, daß die Rückwand als Verpackungsbehälter ausgebildet ist, der ausreichend Platz für einen zusätzlichen flachen Gegenstand (z. B. eine CD oder ein weiteres Bild) aufweist.In particular, for advertising measures, it is also possible to design the viewing device such that the rear wall is designed as a packaging container, which has sufficient space for an additional flat object (eg., A CD or another image).

Selbstverständlich kann zusätzlich zur Vorderwand auch die Rückwand mindestens eine Sichtöffnung enthalten und der Objektträger sowohl auf seiner der Vorderwand zugewandten Seite als auch auf seiner der Rückwand zugewandten Seite zur Anordnung eines Objektes dienen.Of course, in addition to the front wall, the rear wall may also include at least one viewing opening, and the slide may serve to dispose an object both on its side facing the front wall and on its side facing the rear wall.

Zum schnelleren Öffnen und/oder zum Aufstellen der Betrachtungsvorrichtung in seiner Betrachtungsposition kann an dem die Seitenwand bildenden Wandbereich der Vorderwand eine Öffnungshilfe befestigt sein, welche von einer geschlossenen Position, bei der sie die Vorderwand außenseitig mindestens teilweise überdeckt, in eine geöffnete Position, bei der die Seitenwand aufgerichtet wird, verschwenkbar ist.For faster opening and / or positioning of the viewing device in its viewing position can be attached to the side wall forming wall portion of the front wall an opening aid, which from a closed position in which it covers the front wall outside at least partially, in an open position, in the the side wall is erected, is pivotable.

In den Fig.1-5 ist mit 1 eine erfindungsgemäße Betrachtungsvorrichtung bezeichnet, die im wesentlichen aus einem eine Vorderwand 2 und eine Rückwand 3 aufweisenden Gehäuse 4 (Fig.2) besteht, wobei die Vorderwand 2 eine Sichtöffnung 5 zum Betrachten eines im Inneren des Gehäuses 4 auf einem separaten Objektträger 6 befindlichen Bild (nicht dargestellt) aufweist.In the Fig.1-5 1 denotes a viewing device according to the invention, which consists essentially of a housing 4 having a front wall 2 and a rear wall 3 (FIG. Fig.2 ), wherein the front wall 2 has a viewing opening 5 for viewing an inside of the housing 4 on a separate slide 6 located image (not shown).

Die Vorder- und Rückwand 2 und 3 sind entlang zweier gegenüberliegender Verbindungslinien 7, 8 miteinander verbunden. Außerdem sind jeweils in einem vorgegebenen Abstand von den Verbindungslinien 7, 8 Knicklinien 9, 10 angeordnet, derart, daß das Gehäuse 4 von einer Ruheposition, bei welcher die Vorder- und Rückwand 2, 3 flach aneinander anliegen (Fig.2), in eine Betrachtungsposition, bei welcher die Vorder- und Rückwand 2, 3 voneinander beabstandbar angeordnet sind, aufrichtbar ist, so daß das Gehäuse 4 kastenförmig mit im wesentlichen rechteckigem Querschnitt ausgestaltet ist und von einer vorderen Wand 11, einer hinteren Wand 12 und zwei Seitenwänden 13, 14 umschlossen wird.The front and rear walls 2 and 3 are connected together along two opposite connecting lines 7, 8. In addition, in each case at a predetermined distance from the connecting lines 7, 8 folding lines 9, 10 are arranged, such that the housing 4 from a rest position, in which the front and rear walls 2, 3 lie flat against each other ( Fig.2 ), in a viewing position in which the front and rear walls 2, 3 are arranged spaced from each other, is erectable, so that the Housing 4 is configured box-shaped with a substantially rectangular cross-section and is enclosed by a front wall 11, a rear wall 12 and two side walls 13, 14.

Die Breite des Objektträgers 6 ist derart gewählt, daß sie zwar größer ist als die Breite der vorderen Wand 11, aber etwas kleiner ist als die Breite der Vorderwand 2, so daß der Objektträger 6 in der Betrachtungsposition des Gehäuses 4 eine zur hinteren Wand 12 hin gewölbte Oberfläche aufweist. Dadurch wird auch das auf dem Objektträger 6 befindliche Bild entsprechend gewölbt und vermittelt einem durch die Sichtöffnung 5 der vorderen Wand 11 sehenden Betrachter einen räumlichen Eindruck.The width of the slide 6 is chosen to be greater than the width of the front wall 11, but slightly smaller than the width of the front wall 2, so that the slide 6 in the viewing position of the housing 4 to the rear wall 12 back having a curved surface. As a result, the image located on the slide 6 is correspondingly arched and conveys a viewing through the viewing opening 5 of the front wall 11 viewer a spatial impression.

Erfindungsgemäß ist nun vorgesehen, daß das erste Ende 15 des Objektträgers 6 im Bereich der Verbindungslinie 7 fest mit der Vorderwand 2 und/oder der Rückwand 3 der Betrachtungsvorrichtung 1 verbunden ist, die in der Betrachtungsposition die vordere Wand 11 seitlich begrenzt. Das zweite Ende 16 des Objektträgers 6 ragt hingegen in der Ruheposition des Gehäuses 4 frei in dieses hinein.According to the invention it is now provided that the first end 15 of the slide 6 in the region of the connecting line 7 is fixedly connected to the front wall 2 and / or the rear wall 3 of the viewing device 1, which limits the front wall 11 laterally in the viewing position. The second end 16 of the slide 6, however, projects freely into the rest position of the housing 4.

Aus den Fig.2-5 läßt sich der Aufrichtvorgang der erfindungsgemäßen Betrachtungsvorrichtung 1 unmittelbar entnehmen: Auf das zunächst in seiner Ruheposition befindliche Gehäuse 4 (Fig.2) wird beispielsweise durch zwei Finger einer Hand Druck auf die Verbindungslinien 7 und 8 ausgeübt, was in den Fig.2-4 durch entsprechende Pfeile angedeutet ist.From the Fig.2-5 the erection process of the viewing device 1 according to the invention can be seen immediately: on the housing 4 initially in its rest position (FIG. Fig.2 ) is exerted by two fingers of one hand, for example, pressure on the connecting lines 7 and 8, which in the Fig.2-4 indicated by corresponding arrows.

Dadurch kommt es zu einem Aufrichten der Seitenwände 13, 14 und zur Ausbildung des kastenförmigen Gehäuses 4. Der Objektträger 6 wird dabei zunächst an die sich ausbildende hintere Wand 12 angedrückt (Fig.3).This results in an erection of the side walls 13, 14 and the formation of the box-shaped housing 4. The slide 6 is first pressed against the forming rear wall 12 ( Figure 3 ).

Drückt man nun die Seitenwände 13, 14 etwas über ihre senkrechte Position gegenüber der vorderen und hinteren Wand 11,12 hinaus (Fig.4), so gleitet das freie zweite Ende 16 des Objektträgers 6 entlang der Seitenwand 14 in die durch die Knicklinie 10 definierte vordere linke Ecke des Gehäuses 4 (Betrachtungsposition des Objektträgers). Gleichzeitig stützt sich der Objektträger 6 mit seinem mittleren Bereich 18 an der hinteren Wand 12 ab.If one now presses the side walls 13, 14 slightly beyond their vertical position with respect to the front and rear walls 11, 12 ( Figure 4 ), so slides the free second end 16 of the slide 6 along the side wall 14 in the defined by the bending line 10 front left corner of the housing 4th (Viewing position of the slide). At the same time, the slide 6 is supported with its central region 18 on the rear wall 12 from.

Wird anschließend auf die Seitenwände 13, 14 kein weiterer Druck mehr ausgeübt, so wird das Gehäuse 4 durch den vorgespannten Objektträger 6 in seine in Fig.3 dargestellte Position zurückgedrückt, wobei der Objektträger 6 dann in der Betrachtungsposition verbleibt (Fig.5 und 1).If subsequently no further pressure is exerted on the side walls 13, 14, the housing 4 is pushed into its inward position by the prestressed slide 6 Figure 3 pushed back position shown, wherein the slide 6 then remains in the viewing position ( Figure 5 and 1 ).

Soll das Gehäuse 4 der Betrachtungsvorrichtung 1 wieder in seine Ruheposition gebracht werden, so ist es lediglich erforderlich, leichten Druck auf die beiden in Fig.5 durch gestrichelte Pfeile gekennzeichneten Ecken auszuüben, die durch die Knicklinien 9 und 10 definiert werden. Aufgrund der schrägen Lage der Seitenwand 14 gleitet dann das zweite Ende 16 des Objektträgers 6 entlang der Seitenwand 14 von der durch die Knicklinie 10 definierten vorderen linken Ecke in die durch die Verbindungslinie 8 definierte hintere linke Ecke zurück und der Objektträger 6 entspannt sich bei diesem Vorgang.If the housing 4 of the viewing device 1 are brought back into its rest position, so it is only necessary, slight pressure on the two in Figure 5 exerted by dashed arrows corners, which are defined by the fold lines 9 and 10. Due to the oblique position of the side wall 14 then slides the second end 16 of the slide 6 along the side wall 14 of the defined by the crease line 10 front left corner in the defined by the connecting line 8 back left corner and the slide 6 relaxes in this process ,

Damit das freie zweite Ende 16 des Objektträgers 6 einwandfrei entlang der Seitenwand 14 gleiten kann, ist es mit einer Biegekante 21 versehen, die gleichzeitig als Halterung für ein Objekt (beispielsweise eine Fotografie) dient.Thus, the free second end 16 of the slide 6 can slide properly along the side wall 14, it is provided with a bending edge 21, which also serves as a holder for an object (for example, a photograph).

Wie den Fig.2-5 unmittelbar entnehmbar ist, kann die gesamte Betrachtungsvorrichtung 1 einschließlich des Objektträgers 6 vorteilhafterweise auf einfache Weise durch Faltung eines entsprechenden Zuschnittes, z.B. aus Karton, einer Kunststoff-Folie etc., hergestellt werden. Nach dem Faltvorgang ist lediglich der sich an die vordere Wand 11 anschließende (rechte) Endbereich 22 des Zuschnittes mit der Seitenwand 13 kraftschlüssig zu verbinden.Like that Fig.2-5 can be removed directly, the entire viewing device 1 including the slide 6 can be advantageously prepared in a simple manner by folding a corresponding blank, for example of cardboard, a plastic film, etc. After the folding process, only the (right) end region 22 of the blank adjoining the front wall 11 is to be frictionally connected to the side wall 13.

Die Erfindung ist selbstverständlich nicht auf das dargestellte Ausführungsbeispiel beschränkt. So zeigt Fig.6 ein Ausführungsbeispiel der Erfindung, bei dem die Betrachtungsvorrichtung 1 eine einen Hohlraum 23 aufweisende Rückwand 3 besitzt, der Platz für einen zusätzlichen flachen Gegenstand (beispielsweise eine CD, eine Münze, Wertzeichen und Gutscheine etc.) 24 aufweist.The invention is of course not limited to the illustrated embodiment. So shows Figure 6 an embodiment of the Invention in which the viewing device 1 has a cavity 23 having a rear wall 3, the space for an additional flat object (for example, a CD, a coin, tokens and vouchers, etc.) 24 has.

Bei einer Betrachtungsvorrichtung, die beispielsweise als Gehäuse 4 für ein Handy verwendet werden kann, hat es sich als besonders vorteilhaft erwiesen, wenn die vordere und hintere Wand 11 und 12 der Betrachtungsvorrichtung 1 eine nach außen gewölbte Oberfläche aufweist, wie dieses in Fig.7 schematisch dargestellt ist, so daß die Vorrichtung von einem Benutzer gut umgriffen werden kann.In a viewing device that can be used, for example, as a housing 4 for a mobile phone, it has proven to be particularly advantageous if the front and rear walls 11 and 12 of the viewing device 1 has an outwardly curved surface, as in Figure 7 is shown schematically, so that the device can be well grasped by a user.

Ferner kann an dem die Seitenwand 14 bildenden Wandbereich der Vorderwand 2 eine Öffnungshilfe befestigt sein, welche von einer geschlossenen Position, bei der sie die Vorderwand außenseitig mindestens teilweise überdeckt, in eine geöffnete Position, bei der die Seitenwand aufgerichtet wird, verschwenkbar ist. Ein entsprechendes Ausführungsbeispiel zeigen die Fig.8 und 9.Further, on the side wall 14 forming the wall portion of the front wall 2, an opening aid may be attached, which is pivotable from a closed position, in which it covers the front wall at least partially outside, in an open position in which the side wall is erected. A corresponding embodiment show the 8 and 9 ,

Durch die Verwendung der Öffnungshilfe 25 wird sowohl ein reproduzierbares Aufrichten des Gehäuses 4 erreicht, als auch die Standsicherheit der Betrachtungsvorrichtung 1 in der Betrachtungsposition des Gehäuses 4 erhöht.By using the opening aid 25, both a reproducible erection of the housing 4 is achieved, and the stability of the viewing device 1 in the viewing position of the housing 4 is increased.
