Definitions
- the present invention relates to a felting apparatus for felting fiber materials and to felting methods and to an article made by felting.
- the felting of fiber materials in particular wool materials has been known for a long time and it is basically a distinction between two felting techniques, the dry felting and the wet felting. In both techniques, the shorn, washed, dried and combed raw wool sheared by the sheep is in principle processed in such a way that the result is, in particular, a closed, firmly bonded felt layer or felt form.
- fibrous materials are to be understood below as meaning all materials made from fibers, in particular comprising both raw material and processed material. In the case of processed material this may in principle have any shape.
- fiber materials include, in particular, wool, such as sheep wool, yak wool, alpaca wool and also angora, to name only a few examples.
- fiber materials also include vegetable materials such as cotton or hemp fibers.
- fiber materials may involve artificial, industrially produced materials.
- the present invention relates to dry felting. When dry felting, for example, with a about 8 cm long, triangular-ground felting needle, which has barbs at the top, repeatedly stung in the raw wool.
- Another disadvantage of such machines is that it is practically not possible to felt hollow object in which something is to be felted, for example, to an outer layer or wall of the hollow object.
- a slipper for example, there is a risk that when trying to felt something on its upper side, it could become undesirably felted with the lower side.
- the object of the present invention was therefore to reduce or eliminate at least one of the problems described above, or to propose a solution which To facilitate manual felting while avoiding the disadvantages of previously known felting devices as possible. At least an alternative solution should be proposed.
- a felting device for felting fiber materials according to claim 1 is proposed.
- Such a felt device thus comprises a needle holder for receiving and holding a felting needle for performing the felting.
- a known felting needle can be picked up and held with its rear side in the needle holder.
- such felt needles are interchangeable.
- the felting device comprises a drive motor for moving the needle receptacle to thereby ultimately move the inserted felting needle.
- a drive motor for moving the needle receptacle to thereby ultimately move the inserted felting needle.
- an oscillating movement of the needle holder with inserted felt needle is provided in the longitudinal direction of the felting needle.
- the drive motor is preferably designed as an electric motor.
- other engines come into consideration, such as a drive through a spring accumulator with retractable spring such as a wind-up spiral spring similar to a mechanical clock.
- a housing is proposed for movably holding and guiding the felting device with one hand. This makes it possible to guide the felt device with one hand on the object to be felted at the desired location or the desired area along and perform felting by the oscillating felting needle.
- the size and shape of the object to be felt is basically not important.
- the felt device according to the invention can also be referred to as a hand felting device or mobile hand felting device. It is preferably twice as fast as a commercially available, described above felting device.
- the hand felting device according to the invention is particularly small, handy, lightweight and portable. With their handy, lightweight design, an energy-saving design can be achieved.
- the felt device With the felt device according to the invention, it should now be possible to basically felt or felt any size, small, three-dimensional and Hohlgorgee. Due to the design, it is possible that there is a large radius of action on all sides, since the hand felting device with its housing is intended in one hand and the operator can thus felt around the object in question. It is not necessary to move the object to be felt, as with the machines described above. Especially at This can be a big advantage for very large, heavy, unwieldy and even very small objects. Because of the size and lightness of the hand-felting hand-held device, it can basically be used anywhere. If there is no energy store for operating the anti-friction motor in the hand-felting device itself, the necessity of an electrical connection also limits the area of use.
- the hand felting device according to the invention can also be readily used, for example, outdoors.
- felting hollow objects can be facilitated because the user, with the felting device in his hand, can more accurately determine or control the puncture depth of the needle.
- the risk of piercing the needle through a cavity into an opposite side and thus undesirably achieving felting through the cavity can thus be eliminated, but at least reduced.
- the housing can preferably accommodate all elements of the felting device, so that substantially only the felting needle projects in part out of the housing.
- the elements of the felting device completely absorb, but is not a mandatory requirement for the housing. Rather, the felt device is to be performed on it with one hand and insofar can be provided instead of the housing or in addition to a holding means for movably holding and guiding the felting device with one hand.
- the felting device is characterized by a guide means for axially guiding the felting needle and / or the needle receptacle.
- the guide means may for example be a guide shaft, in particular a cylindrical guide shaft, in which the felting needles and / or the needle holder slides in the axial direction.
- the needle receptacle is guided so that the guide means may be substantially independent of the size and shape of the felting needle, and no problems of slidingly guiding the barbs of a felting needle occur. In such a case, the felting needle can simply be exchanged for a new one and / or another one if necessary, without having to influence the guidance.
- a felting device which is characterized in that a hinge connection, in particular a universal joint, for coupling the Needle holder is provided with the drive motor to deflect a non-axial movement, due to a rotational movement of the drive motor, in an axial, oscillating movement of the felting needle.
- a rotational movement of the drive motor can be converted into a substantially translatory, ie axial, movement similar to a crankshaft and connecting rod.
- a joint connection with a simple joint can be sufficient.
- the use of a universal joint provides a greater tolerance to a divergence in the upstream driveline and can compensate for tolerances.
- a simple and space-saving design can be enabled, whereby the inventive guiding the felting device is facilitated with one hand.
- This makes it possible to achieve an axial or linear movement using a commercially available, rotating motor, in particular electric motor.
- a linear motor can also be provided which directly effects the desired linear oscillating movement. This can be achieved, for example, by means of two electrical coils, which cause the oscillating movement by alternately energizing.
- a key switch for switching on and off of the drive motor and / or for starting and stopping a needle movement of the felting needle is proposed.
- the felting needle moves with the push button pressed and stops moving as soon as the push button switch is no longer pressed.
- the key switch thus allows easy handling and is preferably arranged so that it can be operated simultaneously with the same hand with which the felting device is held and moved.
- the key switch is arranged directly on the housing.
- the felting device can thus be operated in a simple manner with one hand and be switched on and off almost at will. In particular, frequent settling of the device in one area and restoring it in another area is simplified.
- the tactile switch is thus intended to control the movement of the felting needle. This can be done by starting or stopping the engine or even an intervention elsewhere, such as by the breaking of the drive train between the engine and felting needle.
- a felt device which is characterized in that the drive motor is designed as an electric motor, in particular as a DC motor, and / or is supplied with electrical current via an energy store, in particular a battery or accumulator, received in the housing.
- an electric motor provides a simple realization possibility of a hand felting device.
- a switch such as a button
- the power supply to the electric motor can be closed or interrupted, thereby starting or stopping the motor and thus the movement of the felting needle.
- an energy storage device such as a battery or a rechargeable battery
- the felting device becomes independent from an external power supply and annoying cables can be dispensed with.
- a DC motor can be easily coupled to a battery or a rechargeable battery, since these also provide a DC voltage or a direct current.
- the guide means for axially guiding the felting needle or the needle receptacle opens with a front end into a housing opening or such a front end forms a housing opening.
- the construction should be designed in such a way that the felting needle is pushed out of this opening in an oscillating manner when used as intended for felts and pulled in again.
- the felting needle can in each case be pulled so completely into the opening that it no longer protrudes from the opening in the pulled-in state.
- the felting device for felting with this housing opening can be guided along the area to be felted of the object to be felted. In particular, a uniform felting is thereby made possible in a simple manner. It is favorable if the felting device is characterized in that the length by which the felting needle protrudes maximally from the or a housing opening during a movement for felting is favorable.
- the penetration depth of the felting needle can be adjusted in the object to be felted.
- This penetration depth corresponds to the length by which the felting needle protrudes maximally from the housing opening when the housing opening is guided directly on the surface of the object to be felted.
- the protrusion can then be adjusted. For example, when felting two superimposed felt layers, their total thickness can be set as the length by which the felting needle protrudes maximally out of the housing opening.
- such adjustability also makes it possible to adapt the felt device to felt nippers of different lengths.
- the adjustability can be achieved for example by a telescopic opening or by a change in the position of the needle holder within the felting device, for example by the distance between the needle holder and connection to the engine is shortened or extended. Also, the distance between or a joint connection such as a universal joint to the needle holder can be designed adjustable for this purpose.
- the stroke length which can also be described as oscillation amplitude, can also influence the movement length within the material to be felted.
- the or a guide means for axially guiding the felting needle or the needle holder is formed as a sleeve.
- the felting needle and / or needle holder can thus be guided in the axial direction in the sleeve.
- a felt article which has been produced with the aid of a felt device according to the invention can be recognized by the uniformity of felted regions, in particular a uniform penetration depth of a felt needle and resulting depth of the felt.
- Figure 1 shows a felt device according to the invention with an open housing cover in a perspective view.
- FIG. 2 shows the felt device according to the invention of FIG. 2 in an exploded view in a perspective view.
- FIG. 3 shows a push-button switch in a side view.
- FIG. 4 shows a needle receptacle in a perspective view.
- FIG. 5 shows the needle receptacle 20 of FIG. 4 in a lateral sectional view.
- FIG. 6 shows a guide sleeve in a lateral sectional view.
- the housing 1 shows a housing 2 with an open housing cover 4.
- the housing 2 has a motor section 6 for receiving a motor, and a guide section 8 with a housing tip 10 and housing opening 12.
- a motor is accommodated a rotary disc or disc 14 drives, which transmits a rotary motion to a connecting rod 16, which in turn transmits the movement via a universal joint 18 to a needle holder 20.
- the needle holder 20 is guided in a guide cone 22 together with an inserted felting needle.
- the guide cone 22 has for this purpose an inner bore in the axial direction of the needle holder and thus in the axial direction of an inserted felting needle, in which the needle holder 20 is guided in the axial direction.
- the guide cone thus acts as a guide.
- Figure 1 shows the felting device 1 in a state in which the needle holder 20 and thus a felting needle is in a maximum retracted position. A felting needle therefore does not project out of the housing 2, in particular not out of the housing tip 10, as shown in FIG.
- FIG. 2 shows in exploded view further details of the felting device. Accordingly, an electric motor 24 is provided, which is received in the motor portion 6 of the housing 2.
- the electric motor 24 has a motor shaft 26, which is connected to the turntable 14 torsionally rigid.
- the hub 14 has an eccentric opening 28 to which the connecting rod 16 is rotatably secured by means of screw 30 and nut 32.
- the connecting rod 16 is connected by means of universal joint 18 with the needle holder 20.
- the needle receptacle 20 has a receiving opening 34 into which a felting needle can be inserted and connected to the needle receptacle 20.
- the housing cover 4 can be opened and, after loosening the nut 32, the needle receptacle 20 together with the universal joint 18 and the connecting rod 16 are removed from the housing 2 to insert a felting needle.
- the felting needle can be inserted directly through the housing opening 12 into the needle holder 20 and fastened, for example, by means of a bayonet closure, if necessary the tip 10 would have to be removed therefor.
- the electric motor 24 is arranged substantially with its longitudinal axis transverse to the longitudinal axis of the needle holder 20. This is a particularly efficient construction, which also allows as shown approximately angularly executed housing 2. Such a housing and thus the felt device as a whole can be handled well with one hand and also allows to hold the housing in different ways.
- This felt device shown by way of example has a length of 16.3 cm, a width of 1 1 cm, which corresponds substantially to the length of the motor section 16, and a depth of 4.3 cm.
- the entire felting device weighs only about 250 g.
- a 12 V motor is used, which is powered by a power supply, which is not the subject of this embodiment and is not shown in the figures.
- the maximum current load of the drive is 7 W at 0.7 A.
- the motor has a rated speed of 2500 rpm.
- the housing is made of glass fiber reinforced plastic, which is impregnated with epoxy resin.
- the handle of the case has a cylindrical shape and ends in a hemisphere and picks up the engine.
- a hemisphere designated by reference numeral 36
- This power connection socket is, not shown in the figure, connected inside the housing via a power cable with both the motor and with an on / off switch.
- the on / off switch which is designed as a button, is mounted on the outside of the housing.
- Such a key switch is shown in Figure 3 in a side view. With this switch, the engine can be started and stopped.
- the screw 30 on the hub 14 also serves as a pin to which the connecting rod 16 is attached.
- the needle holder 20 is used in this interaction at the same time as a plunger and so the rotational movement of the motor is converted into a lifting movement.
- the radius of the turntable 14 or by varying the distance of the Screw 30 to the center of the hub 14 - the effective radius of the hub - can vary the stroke or an oscillation amplitude.
- the needle holder 20 has a centrally milled groove lengthwise, as will be described.
- the guide section 8 of the housing 2 is formed tapering towards the opening 12 and has inside the guide hole immediately before the opening 12, which is glued there and in which the plunger and the needle holder 20 together with the felt needle before and moved back.
- a switch 38 shown in FIG. 3 is designed as a push-button switch.
- the switch 38 has a switch button 40 which closes a circuit by pushing it into the switch and opens it again when it is released.
- a switch lift 42 which is fixed to the switch 38 and over which the switch button 40 is pressed.
- the switch 38 is arranged on the housing 2 of the felt device such that the shift lever 42 is arranged essentially flat with respect to the housing 42 and can thus be actuated in a simple manner by the operator.
- the needle holder 20 is shown in Figure 4 as a single element and enlarged in a perspective view. It has a connecting portion 44 for connection to the universal joint 18. For this purpose, a groove 46 is inserted centrally in order to hold a felting needle therein.
- a longitudinal axial, not shown in the figure, for concentric needle receiving bore for holding the felting needle is still provided.
- This longitudinal bore has a diameter which is slightly larger than the thickness of the groove 46. This creates a kind of groove on each side of the groove 46, as the lateral sectional view of Figure 5 can be seen.
- the axial bore is indicated there by the reference numeral 48.
- the needle holder 20 still has an outer bore 50. This can be used for fastening a felting needle, in particular a commercially available felting needle, which has an angled section at its rear end, which is received in the outer bore 50 as intended.
- Figure 6 illustrates in its lateral sectional view of a guide sleeve 52 which is arranged in the guide cone 22 for guiding the needle holder 20.
- the guide sleeve It is concentric with its central axis 53 and has a cylindrical guide section 54, a central section 56 and a tip section 58.
- a longitudinal axial bore is provided which has an inner diameter adapted to the outer diameter of the needle receptacle 20 to be guided.
- the outer diameter of the needle holder 20 in the relevant area is 6 mm and the inner diameter of the guide section 54 is 6.5 mm.
- the needle holder 20 can thus be guided guided in the bore 60 in the axial direction.
- the central portion 56 and the tip portion 58 are arranged together in a conical tip region and also each have a concentric bore, which are at least slightly larger in diameter than a felt needle to be received.
- the end portion 58 in this case has a support hole 62, which has only a slightly larger inner diameter than the diameter of a felting needle to be used. As a result, it is possible to support the felting needle in the support bore 62 in the event of any transverse forces occurring.
