Definitions

  • the invention relates to a plectrum according to the introductory part of claim 1.
  • a plectrum also called plectrum, with the features of the preamble of claim 1 is made GB 2 233 141 A known and used for hitting or plucking strings of stringed instruments, in particular guitars.
  • a generally triangular plectrum with varying thicknesses for playing a guitar in plan view is also missing CN 2011-17235 known.
  • US 2,484,820 A describes a plectrum having tooth-like projections for playing strings; these teeth are in preferred embodiments of a triangular body, wherein there are slot openings between adjacent teeth, which open into circular recesses.
  • the tooth-like projections are particularly flexible, but they can break off relatively easily.
  • US 4852763 A discloses a disc-shaped cover for a beverage can, which preferably consists of flexible plastic.
  • the cover is circular sector-shaped and has a central, externally accessible opening.
  • the diameter of the disc corresponds to the diameter of the circular surface of the can, on which the drinking opening is located.
  • DE 29919689 U1 shows one similar rotatable cover for a beverage can, but with a plurality of recesses, namely a larger recess for releasing a central bearing opening, a drinking recess, an air hole and a drinking straw recess. Due to the size and shape, only one use of these covers for closing the beverage can makes sense.
  • the aim of the invention is the provision of a plectrum, which is not only easy to produce and allows a good game quality, but also allows a novel additional function.
  • the invention provides a Plectron with a top view in general sector-shaped plate body, which has an inner side and an outer side with a larger circumferential extent than the inside in plan view, which has on the inside a opening in a pivot bearing opening slot opening, and at the same time attachable rotatable protective part for opened beverage cans or the like forms.
  • the present Plektron with the one-piece plate body is simple, for example by injection molding, made of plastic, can be produced; by providing the specified pivot bearing opening, the plectrum can be attached to conventional beverage cans with a top, with a pull tab tear-open drinking opening;
  • the pull tab is usually fixed by means of a short cylindrical pin on the top of the beverage can, and on this pin, the present Plectron is pushed laterally by pushing, the pin passes through the slot opening in the pivot bearing opening, plugged.
  • rotatable disc-shaped protective cover for conventional beverage cans are known per se, cf. for example DE 100 18 685 C2 or DE 19752038 A1 .
  • These known protective cover which serve to temporarily cover the drinking opening after opening the beverage can, so as to prevent the ingress of dirt, but especially of insects, such as wasps, are generally circular in plan view, in adaptation to the top the conventional, cylindrical aluminum beverage cans.
  • These known protective covers would therefore not be suitable for use as a plectrum.
  • investigations leading to the present invention have shown that with a generally circular sector-shaped plate body, which is suitable for use as Plektron, also the desired protective function can be ensured with opened beverage cans easily.
  • the cylindrical edge of the beverage can it is useful if the outside of the plate body is circular arc in plan view.
  • the slot opening opens for snap attachment to a beverage can via a constriction in the pivot bearing opening.
  • pivot bearing opening has an approximately semicircular edge.
  • the slot opening has lateral edges which extend in accordance with diverging or parallel lines from the pivot bearing opening to the inner edge of the plate body.
  • the outer side and the inside of the plate body are connected by side edges which extend in the region of the pivot bearing opening outwardly angled, so that the legs are widened.
  • the plate body is a part made of two materials of different hardness, in particular an injection-molded part.
  • the plate body in plan view generally corresponds to a circular sector with a sector angle between 60 ° and 90 °.
  • the plate body has at least two different thicknesses, also to achieve different degrees of hardness in a uniform plate body material.
  • a plectrum 1 is shown with a plate body 2, which in general (and not in the narrow geometric sense) has a circular sector-shaped shape in plan view, wherein the inside is widened compared to a circular sector, and wherein the outside 4 according to a comparison Inside 3 longer dimension in the circumferential direction.
  • the outer side 4 of the plate body 2 extends substantially circular arc.
  • a slot opening 5 is provided, which opens into an inner rotary bearing opening 6, wherein at the transition between the openings 5 and 6, a constriction 7 is given.
  • the pivot bearing opening 6 takes in the case of using the Plektrons 1 as a protective cover for a beverage can 8, see Fig. 4 , A usual in such beverage cans pin 9, as described in more detail below with reference to Fig. 4 will be explained.
  • the pivot bearing opening 6 is approximately semicircular, preferably slightly larger than a semicircle to form the constriction 7.
  • the slot opening 5 has lateral edges 10 which diverge away from the pivot bearing opening 6; but it is also conceivable to let these edges 10 run according to parallel lines, as in Fig. 1 with dashed lines additionally illustrated for the sake of simplicity.
  • Fig. 2 is also illustrated with dashed lines that the edges 10 'can also extend directly diverging away from the pivot bearing opening 6, without a constriction 7 would be provided.
  • the plate body 2 has, for example, rectilinear side edges 11, 12, the - as out Fig. 2 is apparent - include an angle ⁇ .
  • This angle ⁇ the sector angle of the circular sector, for example, between 60 ° and 90 °, preferably about 75 ° to 80 °, amount.
  • the margins are like out Fig. 1 and 2 can be seen, for example, angled outward at 13 on the inside 3, so that thereby slightly wider legs 14, 15 of the plate body 2 adjacent the slot opening 5 are obtained.
  • the bend 13 begins approximately at the height of the pivot bearing opening. 6
  • Fig. 1 is further indicated in dashed line 16 that the plate body with two areas 17, 18 of different materials, an outer harder area 17 and an inner softer area 18 may be formed.
  • Such a design is easily achieved by injection molding, wherein the same plastic base material is used in the entire plate body 2, but by different additives in the two areas 17, 18, the hardness is set differently, as is well known.
  • the separating line 16 may additionally or alternatively also form a transition between a region 18 'of lesser thickness, for example 0.5 mm, in comparison to the other, outer region 17', which may have a thickness of 0.6 mm, for example.
  • the bottom surface may for example be continuous, and the top of the plate body has in the region of the dividing line 16 has a corresponding stepped transition, as in Fig. 3B is shown, or there may be a level crossing in the region of the dividing line 16 both at the top and at the bottom of the plate body 2, as shown in FIG Fig. 3A is shown.
  • the plate body 2 may also be provided with a better grip for the fingers resulting raised strips 19, thereby also reinforcing ribs may be formed.
  • beverage can 8 is formed in a conventional manner with a cylindrical container body; at the top of an outlet opening 20 is provided, which is closed in the original state by a closure plate 21.
  • this closure plate 21 can be pressed down by means of a tab 22 attached to the pin 9, as in FIG Fig. 4 is shown, so that the beverage can 8 is opened and ready to drink the contents, for example by means of a straw (not shown), is.
  • Dashed line is in Fig. 4
  • a the outlet opening or drinking opening 20 covering plectrum 1 shown with its slot opening 5 and pivot bearing opening 6 (see Fig. 1 ) releasably fixed to the pin 9, in particular snapped, is.
  • the plate body 2 of the plectrum 1 can then be rotated about the pin 9 to the left or right to cover the opening 20 or in the case release the drink.
  • the present Plektron 1 preferably be attached directly to beverage cans 8, if they are delivered by the manufacturer after filling.
  • the plate body 2 can also be used as an advertising medium if desired, so have advertising imprints or imprints.
  • the plectrum 1 is twisted sideways so as to release the sealing plate 21, which is then pressed inwardly by means of the tab 22. Thereafter, the contents of the box 8 is accessible. If the can 8 is not immediately completely emptied, the plate body 2 can be rotated as a protective cover over the opening 20, so as to prevent the ingress of dirt or insects into the can interior. If the box 8 is completely emptied and should be disposed of, the pick 1 can be removed and used, for example, to play the guitar.
