Serviette napkin
Beschreibungdescription
Die Erfindung bezieht sich auf eine Serviette mit einer viereckigen Grundform.The invention relates to a napkin with a square basic shape.
Die DE 20 2006 017 180 Ul offenbart einen Papierbogen, der eine Mehrfachfaltung aufweist, um eine geschlossene Tasche, insbesondere zur Aufnahme von Besteck, zu bilden. Ein eine Taschenaußenseite bildendes Feld des Papierbogens weist eine als Einschub dienende Ausstanzung auf.DE 20 2006 017 180 U1 discloses a paper sheet which has a multiple fold to form a closed pocket, in particular for receiving cutlery. A bag outside forming field of the paper sheet has a serving as a slot punched out.
Im Weiteren zeigt die DE 20 2005 005 882 Ul eine aus Zellstoff, Papier oder einem ähnlichen Material hergestellte Serviette, wobei die einlagige Grundrissform durch sich kreuzende Faltlinien in eine mehrlagige Gebrauchsform gebracht ist. Durch eine Mehrfachfaltung ist eine zu einer Schmalseite hin offene Einstecktasche gebildet, die beispielsweise zur Aufnahme von Besteckteilen, Informationsmaterial oder dergleichen dient, wobei der Einstecktaschen- Öffnungsrand parallel und beabstandet zur benachbarten Serviettenkante ausgerichtet ist. Zur Bildung der Einsteckta- sehe ist ein erster Faltabschnitt um eine der Serviettenkante parallel und gegenüberliegende erste Faltlinie umge- faltet. Quer zu der ersten Faltlinie verläuft mittig eine weitere Faltung und nach dieser wird noch eine Faltung um eine dann vorliegende mittige zweite Faltlinie vorgenommen, um die die Einstecktasche aufweisende Gebrauchsform zu er- zielen.Furthermore, DE 20 2005 005 882 U1 shows a napkin made of pulp, paper or a similar material, wherein the single-ply ground plan shape is brought into a multi-ply use form by intersecting folding lines. By a multiple folding an open to a narrow side insertion pocket is formed, for example, serves to receive cutlery, information or the like, wherein the Einstecktaschen- opening edge is aligned parallel to and spaced from the adjacent napkin edge. To form the Einsteckta- see a first folding section is about a napkin edge parallel and opposite first folding line umge- folds. A further fold runs centrally in the middle of the first fold line and after this a fold is made around a central second fold line then present in order to achieve the form of use having the insert pocket.
Es ist Aufgabe der Erfindung, eine Serviette der eingangs genannten Art zu schaffen, die mit einfachen Mitteln zur Halterung von Besteckteilen ausgebildet ist.It is an object of the invention to provide a napkin of the type mentioned, which is formed with simple means for holding cutlery.
Erfindungsgemäß wird die Aufgabe gelöst durch einen Schlitz, der beabstandet zu mindestens einer Außenkante ist und eine Länge zum Durchschieben mindestens eines Teils ei¬ nes Essbesteckes aufweist.According to the invention the object is achieved by a slot which is spaced from at least one outer edge and has a length for pushing through at least a portion ei ¬ nes cutlery.
Das Besteckteil wird derart durch den Schlitz gesteckt und die Serviette so platziert, dass der mit Nahrungsmittel in Berührung kommende Bereich des Besteckteils hygienisch auf der Serviette aufliegt. Ein Griffbereich des Besteckteils ist in dieser zumindest teilweise durch die Serviette abgedeckt. Servierpersonal kann eine derartige Serviette mit Besteck versehen bevorraten. Die Serviette ist durch das Besteck beschwert und Servierpersonal kann das Besteck über die Serviette beim Decken eines Tisches anfassen. Nachdem ein Benutzer das mit der Serviette verbundene Besteck entnommen hat, ist die Serviette zu entsprechenden Schutz- und Reinigungszwecken beim bzw. nach dem Essen zu verwenden, wobei sich der Schlitz nicht störend auswirkt. Bei dem Papier der Serviette kann es sich beispielsweise um einen so genannten Airlaid Vliesstoff handeln. In Ausgestaltung sind zwei oder drei parallel zueinander ausgerichtete Schlitze vorgesehen. Durch die Schlitze werden die Besteckteile quasi durchgefädelt, wonach die Besteckteile mehr oder weniger von der Serviette überdeckt sind. Durch die Vielzahl von Schlitzen sind die Besteckteile optisch ansprechend zu der Serviette ausgerichtet, die zuverlässig mit den Besteckteilen verbunden ist.The piece of cutlery is inserted through the slot and the napkin is placed so that the food contact portion of the cutlery portion rests hygienically on the napkin. A handle portion of the cutlery is in this at least partially covered by the napkin. Serving staff can stockpile such a napkin with cutlery. The napkin is weighted with cutlery and waiters can touch the cutlery over the napkin when laying a table. After a user has removed the cutlery associated with the napkin, the napkin is to be used for appropriate protective and cleaning purposes during or after eating, wherein the slot does not interfere. The paper of the napkin may, for example, be a so-called airlaid nonwoven. In an embodiment, two or three parallel aligned slots are provided. Through the slots, the cutlery parts are quasi threaded through, after which the cutlery pieces are more or less covered by the napkin. Due to the large number of slots, the cutlery parts are optically appealing to the napkin, which is reliably connected to the cutlery parts.
Um eine möglichst große Auflagefläche für die Besteckteile bereitzustellen, verlaufen die Schlitze bei einer rechteck- förmigen Grundform parallel zu einer Schmalseite und beabstandet zu den beiden Längsseiten.In order to provide the largest possible contact surface for the cutlery parts, the slots extend in a rectangular basic shape parallel to a narrow side and spaced from the two longitudinal sides.
Zweckmäßigerweise ist ein Schlitz länger als die anderen Schlitze bemessen. Der längere Schlitz wirkt sich günstig auf die Aufnahme eines verformten Bereichs einer Gabel oder eines Löffels aus, wobei sämtliche Schlitze eine Länge aufweisen, dass mindestens zwei Besteckteile nebeneinander eingesteckt werden können. Ein langer Schlitz, der sich bis annähernd an die Längsseiten erstreckt, kann sowohl im oberen als auch im mittleren Bereich vorgesehen sein, wenn die Serviette mehrere Schlitze aufweist.Conveniently, one slot is sized longer than the other slots. The longer slot has a favorable effect on receiving a deformed region of a fork or a spoon, wherein all the slots have a length such that at least two pieces of cutlery can be inserted side by side. A long slot, which extends almost to the longitudinal sides, may be provided both in the upper and in the middle area, when the napkin has a plurality of slots.
Nach einer Weiterbildung ist der Schlitz messerschnittar- tig. Demzufolge wird kein Material aus der Serviette herausgeschnitten, wie es beispielsweise aus dem Stand der Technik bekannt ist. Vielmehr steht die komplette Fläche der Serviette zum bestimmungsgemäßen Abdecken und Reinigen bei dem bzw. nach dem Essen zur Verfügung.According to a further development, the slot is knife-edge-like. As a result, no material is cut out of the napkin, as is known, for example, from the prior art. Rather, the entire surface of the napkin for proper covering and cleaning is available during or after the meal.
Vorteilhafterweise ist ein quadratischer Bogen mehrfach zu einer rechteckigen Grundform gefaltet. Der quadratische Bogen kann in seiner Größe einer Standard Serviette entsprechen und beispielsweise eine Seitenlänge von ca. 400 mm aufweisen. Durch die Mehrfachfaltung entsteht eine Art Ta- sehe und ein freies Ende der in den Schlitz eingesteckten Besteckteile stützt sich innerhalb der Tasche ab, während ein anderes Ende der Besteckteile in Freie ragt. Zweckmäßigerweise weist der quadratische Bogen in seiner Abwicklung mittig sowie parallel zu zwei seiner gegenüberliegenden Au- ßenkanten eine erste Faltlinie auf, zu der senkrecht und in gleichem Abstand zueinander Faltlinien mit jeweils entgegengesetzten Faltrichtungen verlaufen, wodurch der Bogen in eine vier mal zwei Matrix mit Feldern gleicher Größe in der rechteckigen Grundform unterteilt ist.Advantageously, a square arc is multiply closed a rectangular basic shape folded. The square sheet may correspond in size to a standard napkin and, for example, have a side length of about 400 mm. The multiple folding creates a kind of pocket and a free end of the cutlery pieces inserted into the slot is supported inside the pocket, while another end of the cutlery pieces projects into the open. Conveniently, the square arc in its settlement centrally and parallel to two of its opposite outer edges a first fold line to the perpendicular and equidistant fold lines, each with opposite folding directions, whereby the arc into a four by two matrix with fields of the same Size is divided into the rectangular basic shape.
Um eine optisch ansprechende Gestaltung der mit Besteckteilen bestückten Serviette zu erzielen, ist mindestens eine Ecke einer quadratischen Form, die durch zweimaliges Falten des quadratischen Bogens entstanden ist, gefalzt. Es können auch zwei Ecken an einer Seite gefalzt werden, so dass ein dreieckförmiger Überschlag entsteht, der über das Besteck geklappt wird. Vorzugsweise sind die Schlitze entweder in einem randseitigen oder einem mittleren Feld angeordnet. Nach einer Weiterbildung überdeckt bei einer Anordnung der Schlitze in einem mittleren Feld ein äußeres Rechteck die rechteckige Grundform mit den Schlitzen zumindest bereichsweise. Demnach befinden sich die Besteckteile in einem Umschlag und sind weitgehend vor Verschmutzung geschützt.In order to achieve a visually appealing design of the serviette stocked with napkin, at least one corner of a square shape, which has arisen by folding the square sheet twice, folded. It can also be folded two corners on one side, so that a triangular rollover occurs, which is folded over the cutlery. Preferably, the slots are arranged either in a peripheral or a middle field. In a further development, when the slots are arranged in a middle field, an outer rectangle covers the rectangular basic shape with the slots at least in regions. Accordingly, the cutlery parts are in an envelope and are largely protected from contamination.
Damit die Besteckteile vor Verschmutzung geschützt auf der Serviette aufliegen, ist der obere Schlitz in einem oberen Viertel des Feldes angeordnet. Bevorzugt ist der untere Schlitz in einem unteren Achtel des Feldes angeordnet.So that the cutlery pieces are protected against contamination on the napkin, the upper slot is in an upper Quarter of the field arranged. Preferably, the lower slot is disposed in a lower eighth of the field.
Es versteht sich, dass die vorstehend genannten und nach- stehend noch zu erläuternden Merkmale nicht nur in der jeweils angegebenen Kombination, sondern auch in anderen Kombinationen verwendbar sind. Der Rahmen der Erfindung ist nur durch die Ansprüche definiert.It is understood that the features mentioned above and to be explained below can be used not only in the particular combination indicated, but also in other combinations.

For this purpose, the sheet 1 in the middle of its development as well as parallel to two of its opposite outer edges 3 has a first fold line 4 to which fold lines 5 run perpendicularly and equidistantly with opposite folding directions, thereby forming the sheet into a four by two matrix is divided with fields 6 of the same size in the rectangular basic shape 2.
Das Feld 6 in der rechten oberen Position weist drei parallel sowie beabstandet zueinander ausgerichtete Schlitze 7 auf, die sich senkrecht zu den Längskanten 8 der Grundform 2 und damit des entsprechenden Feldes 6 erstrecken. Der o- bere Schlitz 7, der etwas länger als die beiden darunter liegenden Schlitze 7 bemessen ist, ist, in Längsrichtung des Feldes 6 gesehen, in einem oberen Viertel des Feldes 6 angeordnet, der mittlere Schlitz 7 befindet sich unterhalb der Mitte und der untere Schlitz 7 ist in einem unteren Achtel des Feldes 6 angeordnet. In die Schlitze 7 werden Besteckteile eingesteckt und zwar derart, dass die Griffstücke in dem obersten Schlitz 7 eingesteckt werden, aus dem mittleren Schlitz 6 heraustreten und anschließend in den untersten Schlitz 7 eingeführt werden. Die Enden der Griffstücke der Besteckteile stehen demnach auf der durch die eine Faltlinie 4 gebildeten Umkehrung des Bogens 1 auf.The field 6 in the upper right position has three parallel and spaced aligned slits 7, which extend perpendicular to the longitudinal edges 8 of the basic shape 2 and thus the corresponding field 6. The o- bere slot 7, which is slightly longer than the two underlying slots 7, is, seen in the longitudinal direction of the field 6, arranged in an upper quarter of the field 6, the middle slot 7 is below the center and the lower Slot 7 is arranged in a lower eighth of the field 6. In the slots 7 are Inserted cutlery in such a way that the grips are inserted in the top slot 7, emerge from the middle slot 6 and then inserted into the bottom slot 7. The ends of the handles of the cutlery pieces are therefore on the formed by a fold line 4 reversal of the sheet 1.
Nach Fig. 2 erfolgt eine Falzung von zwei Ecken in dem dem Feld 6 mit den Schlitzen 7 gegenüberliegenden Bereich, nachdem der Bogen 1 zweimal jeweils mittig zu einem Quadrat gefaltet ist. Sonach ist ein dreieckförmiger Umschlag 9 gebildet, der das Feld 6 mit den Schlitzen 7 und somit auch die in den Schlitzen 6 nebeneinander ausgerichtet aufgenommenen Besteckteile teilweise überdeckt. Ein rechteckförmi- ger Umschlag 10 gemäß Fig. 3 ist nach dem entsprechendenAccording to Fig. 2, a folding of two corners takes place in the area opposite the field 6 with the slots 7 after the sheet 1 is folded twice in each case in the middle of a square.
