Description

Drapierband, für ein Flächengebilde wie eine Gardine und Verfahren zu dessen  Drape tape, for a fabric such as a curtain and method of its
Herstellung  manufacturing
Die Erfindung betrifft ein Drapierband für ein Flächengebilde wie eine Gardine, einen Vorhang od. dgl., sowie ein Verfahren zur Herstellung eines solchen Drapierbandes. Derartige Drapierbänder werden insbesondere im Bereich der Innendekorationen verwendet. Sie dienen bei Flächengebilden, wie Gardinen oder Vorhängen dazu, einerseits das Material des Flächengebildes zu beschweren, damit dieses nicht bei einem Luftzug herum geweht wird, andererseits aber auch dazu, eine schöne gleichmäßige Wellenform des Flächengebildes zu ermöglichen. The invention relates to a Drapierband for a sheet such as a curtain, a curtain od. Like., And a method for producing such Drapierbandes. Such Drapierbänder be used in particular in the field of interior decoration. They are used in fabrics, such as curtains or curtains on the one hand to complain the material of the fabric, so that it is not blown in a draft, but on the other hand also to allow a nice uniform waveform of the fabric.
Ein solches Drapierband der eingangs genannten Art beschreibt beispielsweise die DE 36 1 1 3 13 C2. Das dort beschriebene Drapierband besteht aus auf einer Tragschnur angeordneten Beschwerungskörpern, wie Bleiperlen, welche dann von einem textilen Schlauch umschlossen werden. Dieses Umschließen ist insbesondere bei der Verwendung von Bleiperlen als Beschwerungskörpern notwendig, um die dunkle Farbe des Bleis durch das eventuell durchscheinende Material des Flächengebildes nicht sichtbar zu machen. Darüber hinaus soll auch vermieden werden, dass Personen mit den Bleiperlen in Hautkontakt kommen bzw. Kinder diese in den Mund stecken. Die Verwendung des Schlauches ist jedoch nachteilig, da hierdurch erhöhte Kosten entstehen. Auch der Rohstoff Blei ist in den letzten Jahren immer teurer geworden, wobei seine Verwendung unter umweltpolitischen Gesichtspunkten als zweifelhaft betrachtet werden kann. Hier gilt es also eine Alternative zu finden. Die DE 201 00 457 U l schlägt nun vor, als Beschwerungselemente Kunststoffabschnitte zu verwenden. In einem Ausführungsbeispiel wird vorgeschlagen, die Kunststoffabschnitte komplett voneinander zu trennen und dann wiederum in einen Schlauch einzubringen, um das gewünschte Drapierband zu erhalten. Die Handhabung der losen Kunststoffabschnitte ist Such Drapierband of the type mentioned above, for example, DE 36 1 1 3 13 C2. The Drapierband described there consists of arranged on a carrying cord weighting bodies, such as lead beads, which are then enclosed by a textile tube. This enclosing is particularly necessary when using lead beads as weighting bodies in order to make the dark color of the lead not visible through the possibly translucent material of the sheet. In addition, it should also be avoided that persons come into skin contact with the lead beads or children put these in the mouth. However, the use of the hose is disadvantageous because this results in increased costs. The raw material lead has also become increasingly expensive in recent years, although its use can be regarded as dubious from an environmental point of view. So here is an alternative to find. DE 201 00 457 U l now proposes to use plastic sections as weighting elements. In one embodiment, it is proposed to separate the plastic sections completely from each other and then in turn introduce into a tube to obtain the desired Drapierband. The handling of the loose plastic sections is
BESTÄTIGUNGSKOPIE jedoch schwierig und nur mit einem hohen maschinellen oder manuellen Aufwand machbar. Weitere Ausführungsbeispiele sehen vor, dass die Kunststoffabschnitte noch durch Brücken verbunden sind, welche aus dem gleichen Material wie die Kunststoffabschnitte selbst bestehen. Diese sind zwar einfacher zu handhaben jedoch vergleichsweise steif, so dass die gewünschten Wellenfalten am Flächengebilde nicht ausreichend gut gebildet werden können. CONFIRMATION COPY However, difficult and feasible only with a high mechanical or manual effort. Further embodiments provide that the plastic sections are still connected by bridges, which consist of the same material as the plastic sections themselves. Although these are easier to handle but relatively stiff, so that the desired wave wrinkles on the fabric can not be formed sufficiently well.
Aufgabe der Erfindung ist es daher, ein Drapierband zu schaffen, welches die vorgenannten Nachteile vermeidet und welches einfach und kostengünstig in der Herstellung ist und dabei auch die gewünschte Drapierfähigkeit aufweist. Eine weitere Aufgabe der Erfindung ist es, ein Herstellungsverfahren für ein erfindungsgemäßes Drapierband bereit zu stellen. Diese Aufgaben werden durch die kennzeichnenden Merkmale der Ansprüche 1 und 7 gelöst, denen folgende besondere Bedeutung zukommt. The object of the invention is therefore to provide a Drapierband which avoids the aforementioned disadvantages and which is simple and inexpensive to manufacture and also has the desired Drapierfähigkeit. A further object of the invention is to provide a production method for a draping strip according to the invention. These objects are achieved by the characterizing features of claims 1 and 7, which have the following special significance.
Das Drapierband besteht aus Kunststoffabschnitten, die auf einer durchgehenden Seele angeordnet sind. Die Seele wiederum besteht aus zwei konzentrisch angeordneten Teilen, die zueinander in Achsrichtung zumindest geringfügig verschieblich sind. Die Kunststoffabschnitte sind dabei auf dem äußeren Teil der Seele festlegbar und gehen mit diesem vorzugsweise eine mechanische Verbindung ein. Durch diese Anordnung erhält man ein Drapierband, welches über ausreichende Drapierfähigkeit verfügt und welches keinen Schlauch benötigt, der die Kunststoffabschnitte ummantelt, da die Farbe der Kunststoffabschnitte und der Seele quasi frei wählbar ist. Es ist somit auch möglich, Drapierbänder in nahezu jeder beliebigen Farbe vorzusehen. Die Herstellung des Drapierbandes ist deutlich preiswerter, da auf den Schlauch verzichtet werden kann und der Kunststoff preiswerter in der Herstellung ist als das bisher verwendete Blei. Durch die zweiteilige Ausführung der Seele können die Kunststoffabschnitte auf der Seele auch perlenschnurartig geformt werden, was auch den Herstellungsprozess vereinfacht, wie noch im Folgenden näher ausgeführt werden wird. Um das erfindungsgemäße Drapierband herzustellen, schlägt die Erfindung gemäß Anspruch 7 vor, zuerst die zweiteilige Seele mit einem Kunststoff zu ummanteln, wodurch ein Kunststoffmantel gebildet wird, der danach in einzelne Kunststoffabschnitte unterteilt wird. Um eine Form des Drapierbandes zu erhalten, in der die einzelnen Kunststoffabschnitte voneinander beabstandet sind, wird der Kunststoffmantel mittels eines Stanzmessers gehackt, wobei die Kunststoffabschnitte einschließlich des äußeren Teils der Seele leicht gegenüber dem inneren Teil der Seele verschoben werden. Hierdurch bilden sich die bereits erwähnten Kunststoffabschnitte, die voneinander beabstandet sind und eine Art Perlenschnur bilden. Selbstverständlich ist es auch möglich, mehrere Stanzmesser vorzusehen. The Drapierband consists of plastic sections, which are arranged on a continuous core. The soul in turn consists of two concentrically arranged parts which are at least slightly displaceable in the axial direction to each other. The plastic sections are fixed on the outer part of the soul and go with this preferably a mechanical connection. By this arrangement, one obtains a Drapierband which has sufficient Drapierfähigkeit and which does not need a hose which sheathed the plastic sections, since the color of the plastic sections and the soul is quasi freely selectable. It is thus also possible to provide draping ribbons in virtually any color. The production of Drapierbandes is significantly cheaper because it can be dispensed with the hose and the plastic is cheaper to manufacture than the lead previously used. As a result of the two-part design of the core, the plastic sections on the core can also be shaped like a pearl cord, which also simplifies the production process, as will be explained in more detail below. In order to produce the Drapierband invention, the invention proposes according to claim 7, first to encase the two-part soul with a plastic, whereby a plastic sheath is formed, which is then divided into individual plastic sections. In order to obtain a shape of the Drapierbandes in which the individual plastic sections are spaced from each other, the plastic shell is chopped by means of a punching blade, wherein the plastic sections including the outer part of the soul are slightly shifted from the inner part of the soul. This results in the already mentioned plastic sections, which are spaced apart and form a kind of string of pearls. Of course, it is also possible to provide several punching blades.
In einem Ausführungsbeispiel schlägt die Erfindung vor, dass die beiden Teile der Seele des Drapierbandes aus dem gleichen Material bestehen. Es muss dann nur dafür gesorgt werden, dass die beiden Teile nicht eine feste Verbindung miteinander eingehen, sondern, dass sich die Teile noch zumindest geringfügig gegeneinander verschieben lassen. In one embodiment, the invention proposes that the two parts of the soul of Drapierbandes consist of the same material. It must then only be ensured that the two parts do not enter into a fixed connection with each other, but that the parts can still be at least slightly offset from each other.
In einem anderen Ausführungsbeispiel ist vorgesehen, dass die beiden Teile der Seele aus unterschiedlichen Materialien bestehen. Diese können von einer ähnlichen Art sein, beispielsweise zwei Kunststoffe oder auch vollständig unterschiedlich, beispielsweise ein Kunststoff, eine Naturfaser, wie beispielsweise Flachs, Hanf, Baumwolle, Seide oder Ahnliches oder auch ein Kunststoff und ein Metall, ein Naturstoff und ein Metall oder Ähnliches. In besonderen Ausführungsformen dieser Art ist die Seele als Core-Garn als Umwindezwirn oder auch als Klingeldraht ausgebildet. In another embodiment, it is provided that the two parts of the soul consist of different materials. These may be of a similar type, for example two plastics or completely different, for example a plastic, a natural fiber, such as flax, hemp, cotton, silk or the like, or even a plastic and a metal, a natural substance and a metal or the like. In particular embodiments of this type, the core is formed as a core yarn as a twisting thread or as a bell wire.
Um die Kunststoffabschnitte bzw. den biegeelastischen Körper schwerer zu gestalten und somit bessere Drapiereigenschaften zu erzielen, wird als Material für die Kunststoffabschnitte ein mit Füllmitteln versehenes thermoplastisches oder duroplastisches Material verwendet, wobei auch Mischungen dieser Materialien Verwendung finden können. Als Füllmittel können verschiedenste Materialien Verwendung finden, insbesondere jedoch Bariumsulfit, Keramikstaub und/oder Sand. Auch andere Materialien oder eine Mischung aus den vorgenannten sind möglich. In order to make the plastic sections or the flexurally elastic body heavier and thus to achieve better draping properties, a thermoplastic or thermosetting material provided with fillers is used as the material for the plastic sections, it being also possible to use mixtures of these materials. As fillers, a wide variety of materials can be used, but especially barium sulphite, Ceramic dust and / or sand. Other materials or a mixture of the above are possible.
In einem besonderen Ausführungsbeispiel hat das Drapierband eine flächige Ausdehnung, wobei die Kunststoffabschnitte sowohl hintereinander als auch nebeneinander angeordnet sind. Solche Drapierbänder können dann verschiedenen Zwecken dienen. Bei der Ausbildung der Kunststoffabschnitte hintereinander und nebeneinander sind dann mehrere Seelen im Drapierband vorgesehen, wobei jeder der Kunststoffabschnitte auf einer Seele angeordnet ist. In a particular embodiment, the Drapierband has a two-dimensional extent, wherein the plastic sections are arranged both behind one another and next to each other. Such draping ribbons can then serve different purposes. In the formation of the plastic sections one behind the other and next to each other several souls are provided in Drapierband, each of the plastic sections is arranged on a soul.
Um bei der Herstellung des Drapierbandes den um die Seele gebildeten Kunststoffmantel in mehrere Kunststoffabschnitte zu unterteilen, wird vorzugsweise ein Stanzmesser verwendet, welches zwei zueinander gegenläufige Stanzräder mit vorzugsweise kegelförmigen Zähnen aufweist. Dies hat sich bewährt, um die Kunststoffabschnitte aus dem Kunststoffmantel zu bilden. Darüber hinaus sind solche Stanzräder bekannt. Das Verfahren, den Kunststoffmantel in die einzelnen Kunststoffabschnitte zu unterteilen, ist mittels des Stanzmessers einfach und kostengünstig. In order to divide the plastic sheath formed around the soul in the production of Drapierbandes in several plastic sections, a punching knife is preferably used, which has two mutually opposite punching wheels with preferably conical teeth. This has been proven to form the plastic sections of the plastic jacket. In addition, such punching wheels are known. The method of dividing the plastic sheath into the individual plastic sections is simple and inexpensive by means of the punching blade.
Weitere Ausführungsbeispiele und Abänderungen der Erfindung ergeben sich aus der nachfolgenden Beschreibung, den Unteransprüchen und den Zeichnungen. In den Figuren ist der Gegenstand in zwei Ausführungsbeispielen dargestellt. Es zeigen: Further embodiments and modifications of the invention will become apparent from the following description, the dependent claims and the drawings. In the figures, the subject matter is shown in two embodiments. Show it:

Schnitt III-III aus Fig. 2 Fig. 1 zeigt ein erstes Ausführungsbeispiel eines Drapierbandes 10 mit einem biegeelastischen Körper 1 1 . Dieser besteht aus auf einer Seele 20 angeordneten Kunststoffabschnitten 12, welche voneinander beabstandet sind. Die Seele 20 besteht aus einem inneren Teil 21 und einem äußeren Teil 22, welche zueinander in Achsrichtung 13 verschieblich 23 sind. Die hier dargestellte Schar von Kunststoffabschnitten 12 ist vollständig radial die Seele 20 umlaufend 16 unterteilt. Dies hat den Vorteil, dass das Drapierband 10 in jede beliebige Richtung die gleichen biegeelastischen Eigenschaften und damit die gleiche Drapierfähigkeit aufweist. Section III-III of FIG. 2 Fig. 1 shows a first embodiment of a Drapierbandes 10 with a flexurally elastic body 1 first This consists of plastic arranged on a soul 20 sections 12, which are spaced apart. The core 20 consists of an inner part 21 and an outer part 22, which are mutually displaceable 23 in the axial direction 13. The crowd of plastic sections 12 shown here is completely radially the soul 20 circumferentially 16 divided. This has the advantage that the Drapierband 10 in any direction has the same bending elastic properties and thus the same Drapierfähigkeit.
Ein anderes Ausführungsbeispiel ist in Fig. 2 dargestellt. Auch hier ist eine Schar von Kunststoffabschnitten 12 auf einer Seele 20 angeordnet, um den biegeelastischen Körper 1 1 des Drapierbandes 10 zu bilden. Die hier dargestellten Kunststoffabschnitte 12 sind jedoch nur in zwei Ebenen angedeutet durch 14 und 15 voneinander getrennt. Hierdurch bietet der biegeelastische Körper 1 1 des Drapierbandes 10 unterschiedliche Drapiereigenschaften je nachdem in welchem Winkel er eingebaut wird. Um beispielsweise bei einer Gardine einen gleichmäßigen Wellenfall zu erzeugen, wird das Drapierband 10 aus Fig. 2 so eingebaut, dass sich die in Fig. 2 gezeigte Ansicht in Draufsicht auf das Drapierband 10 ergibt. Another embodiment is shown in FIG. Again, a crowd of plastic sections 12 is disposed on a core 20 to form the flexurally elastic body 1 1 of the Drapierbandes 10. However, the plastic sections 12 shown here are only indicated in two planes separated by 14 and 15 from each other. As a result, the flexurally elastic body 1 1 of the draping belt 10 offers different draping properties depending on the angle at which it is installed. In order, for example, to produce a uniform wave fall in a curtain, the draping belt 10 from FIG. 2 is installed in such a way that the view shown in FIG. 2 results in a plan view of the drape belt 10.
Um ein Drapierband 10 gemäß Fig. 2 herzustellen, muss der Kunststoffmantel in den beiden Ebenen 14 und 15 unterteilt werden, um die Kunststoffabschnitte 12 zu bilden. Wird der Kunststoffmantel jedoch vollständig radial die Seele 20 umlaufend 16 unterteilt, so erhält man den biegeelastischen Körper 1 1 aus Fig. 1 . In order to produce a drape strip 10 according to FIG. 2, the plastic jacket in the two planes 14 and 15 must be subdivided to form the plastic sections 12. However, if the plastic sheath is completely radially divided around the core 20, then the flexurally elastic body 11 of FIG. 1 is obtained.
Fig. 3 zeigt nun den inneren Aufbau eines Kunststoffabschnittes 12 gemäß dem Schnitt III-III in Fig. 2. Man erkennt, dass die Seele 20 aus einem inneren 21 und einem äußeren Teil 22 aufgebaut ist. Auf diesem äußeren Teil 22 ist der eigentliche Kunststoffabschnitt 12 angeordnet. Das Material des Kunststoffabschnittes 12 ist dabei auf dem äußeren Teil 22 der Seele 20 festgelegt. Vorzugsweise geht er dabei mit dem äußeren Teil 22 eine mechanische Verbindung ein. Dies kann beispielsweise dadurch geschehen, dass das Material des Kunststoffabschnittes 12 bei der Anbringung der Kunststoffummantelung um die Seele 20 mit dem äußeren Teil 22 der Seele 20 etwas verschmilzt. Selbstverständlich sind auch andere Möglichkeiten denkbar, die Kunststoffabschnitte 12 auf dem äußeren Teil 22 der Seele 20 festzulegen, wie beispielsweise chemische Reaktionen oder mechanische Verbindungen. 3 shows the inner structure of a plastic section 12 according to the section III-III in FIG. 2. It can be seen that the core 20 is constructed from an inner 21 and an outer part 22. On this outer part 22 of the actual plastic section 12 is arranged. The material of the plastic portion 12 is on the outer part 22 of the soul 20th established. Preferably, he goes with the outer part 22 a mechanical connection. This can be done, for example, that the material of the plastic portion 12 during the attachment of the plastic sheath around the soul 20 merges with the outer part 22 of the soul 20 something. Of course, other possibilities are conceivable, the plastic sections 12 set on the outer part 22 of the soul 20, such as chemical reactions or mechanical connections.
Abschließend sei noch darauf hingewiesen, dass die hier dargestellten Ausführungsformen lediglich beispielhafte Verwirklichungen der Erfindung sind. Diese ist nicht darauf beschränkt, vielmehr sind noch Abänderungen und Abwandlungen möglich. Finally, it should be pointed out that the embodiments shown here are merely exemplary realizations of the invention. This is not limited to this, but rather modifications and modifications are possible.
