Description

The present invention relates to a device for assisting in the production of at least one optical pattern, in particular a mandala, comprising at least one carrier device with at least one pattern surface and at least one separating device. In this case, the separating device is suitable and designed to divide the pattern surface at least in sections into at least two pattern sections.

Mandalas are geometric diagrams that have a mythical or religious meaning in Hinduism and Buddhism, depending on their design.

Mandalas usually have a round or square base, which is divided symmetrically or evenly into several sections. In particular, geometric diagrams are known in classical mandalas. A pattern or a picture is painted or laid on the base.

Such patterns or mandalas are visually very appealing. Therefore, such patterns or mandalas are made in everyday life without a religious or mythical reference with increasing popularity.

For example, in kindergarten Mandalas are very popular for coloring. For this purpose, the basic structure or the subdivision of a z. B. mandala set. The individual sections, the children can then paint at will.

Even in the elderly, the coloring of such a mandala is a popular occupation dar. Also in the therapeutic field mandalas can be useful to promote the mental and motor skills are used. The creation of Mandalas strengthens among other things the fine motor skills, the sensory perception and promotes the organization and order understanding.

In addition to mandalas for coloring also so-called natural mandalas are known in which different sections are designed with different materials to produce an appealing pattern.

In natural mandalas, geometric patterns are laid, for example, with colored sand, stones, figures, shells and / or other materials.

Natural mandalas are mostly made by hand on the ground. In this case, it is often difficult to ensure a desired symmetry or geometry and a sufficient order. In addition, the mandalas created in this way are bound to one place and can not be moved.

It is therefore the object of the present invention to support the generation of optical patterns, in particular the production of mandalas or natural mandrels, so that they can be produced more easily. Another object of the present invention is to facilitate the transport of created patterns.

This object is achieved by a device having the features of claim 1. Preferred developments and refinements of the invention are the subject of Dependent claims. Further advantages and features of the invention will become apparent from the embodiments.

The device according to the invention for assisting in the generation of at least one optical pattern is particularly suitable for assisting in the generation of a mandala. In this case, the device comprises at least one carrier device with at least one pattern surface and at least one separating device. The separating device is suitable and designed to subdivide the pattern surface at least in sections into at least two pattern sections. Furthermore, at least one receiving device with at least one receiving section for receiving the at least one separating device is provided on the carrier device in order to enable a flexible or variable subdivision of the pattern surface.

In particular, the device for assisting in the generation of at least one optical pattern provides a type of template or a basic division into different sections. Thus, the pattern surface is preferably divided into different pattern sections, which preferably have a certain receiving volume for filling with a specific material or substrate.

The device is particularly suitable for assisting in the production of a mandala, wherein, in particular, natural mandrels can also be produced or laid by means of the device according to the invention.

In particular, the device according to the invention provides a type of plug-in system so that a specific subdivision of the pattern surface can be made flexibly and in a particularly variable manner.

In this case, the receiving device for the separating device is provided in particular on the pattern surface, so that the pattern surface is divided by the insertion of the separator in at least two pattern sections.

The pattern surface according to the invention is the surface on which the optical pattern is produced or produced. For example, a natural mandala can be created on the sample surface.

Preferably, the pattern surface is provided substantially on the complete support means. Depending on the configuration, however, the pattern surface may also be surrounded by an edge section on which no pattern is provided.

By subdividing the pattern surface into at least two pattern sections, different pattern sections or compartments are made available, into which different materials for producing a mandala or a natural mandala can be filled.

Among other things, sand, stones, flowers, leaves, shells, scraps of paper, confetti, figures, sweets and / or liquids can be filled into the different sections. To create particularly interesting patterns or mandalas, the materials used may have different colors and / or shapes.

In this case, the separating device preferably separates the pattern surface into different pattern sections in such a way that filling is possible, at least with free-flowing and in particular also liquid materials.

Preferably, the receiving device or a plurality of receiving devices are provided on the carrier device such that geometric patterns or symmetrical patterns are predetermined on the sample surface by inserting the separating device.

The device according to the invention for assisting in the production of at least one optical pattern, in particular a mandala, offers many advantages. A significant advantage is that a kind of template for a mandala or a natural mandala is provided to a user, so that he can easily fill the pattern sections or compartments so given with a specific material or substrate or other materials. Thus, a user will specify the basic structure of a mandala, with the final design of the pattern or mandala being carried out by the user.

Thus, a user assisted by the device can create a visually appealing mandala, with the materials used not so easily mixing between the individual pattern sections.

By specifying the pattern sections, a user is supported in the creation of a mandala, so that even small children, less skilled users and older users and people with motor or mental limitations can produce attractive natural mandalas.

Due to the design of the device as a plug-in system, it is also possible to use the device particularly versatile, in particular the division into different sections as needed is possible.

Furthermore, it is achieved by the device according to the invention that a once created mandala or pattern also can be transported, since materials used to generate the pattern rest on the support means or on the pattern surface and can be easily transported by the transport of the device from one place to another.

Preferably, the separating device in the receiving portion of the receiving device can be inserted and removed again. Thus, a particularly flexible or variable plug-in system is provided, in which the pattern surface can be subdivided into different sample sections as required. This makes the system particularly flexible and reusable, since the given pattern sections can be redesigned according to needs and tastes.

Particularly preferably, the receiving device is manufactured in one piece with the carrier device. It is particularly preferred that the receiving device is at least partially manufactured in one piece with the carrier device. Among other things, it is possible that the carrier device is manufactured, for example, in an injection molding process, wherein the receiving device can then be manufactured in one piece with the carrier device or the pattern surface.

Preferably, the carrier device and / or the pattern surface has a substantially round outer contour. In particular, a circular outer contour of the carrier device or the pattern surface is preferred. In the case of a roundish or circular pattern surface, particularly symmetrical subdivisions of the pattern surface can be made, whereby particularly appealing mandalas can be produced. For example, the pattern surface may have a diameter of 60 cm, so that a still easy to transport device is provided.

Other sizes and shapes can be used appropriately depending on the design. For example, square support means and / or pattern surfaces can also be usefully used.

In suitable embodiments, the carrier device and / or the pattern surface is substantially cup-shaped. It is particularly preferred that the support means or the pattern surface has a kind of raised edge or a circumferential collar. Thus, it is possible that the insertion of separator substantially closed pattern sections are provided so that a natural mandala can be made for example with sand or stones, without the materials used when filling the pattern sections or during transport of the device from the pattern sections can escape.

Preferably, at least one sealing device is provided in order to enable a substantially fluid-tight separation of the pattern sections. This is particularly preferred when a natural mandala is to be prepared with liquids. In this case, for example, a pattern can be produced in such a way that liquids of different colors are filled into different sample sections. So that the liquids do not distribute or mix in the individual sample sections, a substantially fluid-tight separation of the sample sections by the sealing device is provided. Such a seal can be achieved for example by a sealing lip which is provided on a separating device. Alternatively, for example, it is also possible to provide a rubberized pattern surface which, in cooperation with a separating device, effects a substantially fluid-tight sealing of the pattern sections.

More preferably, a plurality of receiving devices are provided, wherein the receiving devices are distributed substantially uniformly. By a substantially uniform distribution of the receiving device, a particularly advantageous symmetrical or geometric division of pattern sections can be achieved.

In preferred embodiments, a plurality of receiving devices are provided, wherein the receiving devices are arranged or distributed substantially in a circle. In this case, the receiving devices are preferably arranged substantially concentrically around the center of the carrier device or the pattern surface, whereby a particularly symmetrical or geometric division of the pattern surface is achieved in similar pattern sections.

Preferably, a plurality of receiving devices are provided, wherein the receiving devices are distributed substantially radially. In this case, it should be understood in particular that at least two receiving devices are provided substantially along the radius of the pattern surface or the carrier device. This also makes it possible to achieve a particularly symmetrical division of the pattern surface into similar pattern sections, whereby such a design results in a division into so-called "cake pieces".

In expedient developments, a plurality of receiving devices are provided, wherein at least one Receiving device is provided on or in an outer portion. This is particularly advantageous if the receiving devices are arranged along the radius of the carrier device or the pattern surface, so that an inserted separating device is also held securely in an outer section.

Preferably, the carrier device, the receiving device and / or the separating device are at least partially made of plastic, wood, glass, paper and / or metal. In particular, the use of cardboard and fabric is possible. In general, the use of almost any material is possible. In particular, food grade materials can be used. Advantageously, however, the material has a certain rigidity, so that the handling of the device is facilitated. In particular, the carrier device preferably consists of a relatively solid material, so that a transport of the device or the carrier device with a generated pattern is possible.

Preferably, the separating device is formed at least in sections web-shaped and / or plate-shaped. This makes it possible in particular for a straight-line subdivision of the pattern surface into different pattern sections to be carried out. In particular, a division along the radius of the pattern surface can be made.

Particularly preferably, at least one separating device is formed bent at least in sections. In particular, a substantially concentric division of the pattern surface into different surface sections can take place via such a configuration.

In advantageous developments, at least one stabilizing device is arranged on at least one separating device. Such a stabilizing device is in particular made in one piece with the separating device or is provided by a separate component. Such a stabilizing device preferably reinforces the separating device and thus prevents deformation of the separating device. In addition, depending on the configuration, such a stabilization device can also support an even more secure reception or support of the separating device on the carrier device.

In expedient embodiments, at least one separating device is formed substantially cup-shaped or raised as a kind ring or frame with or without bottom. Such a separating device may in particular have a substantially round, angular, heart-shaped, flower-shaped or leaf-shaped contour. A separating device designed in this way preferably provides at least a portion of the pattern surface and / or dispenses at least a portion of the pattern surface. One or more further separating devices can preferably also be used or set in such a separating device, so that the region of the pattern surface 3 demarcated or provided by the dish-shaped or frame-like separating device can be further subdivided and thus designed differently.

In advantageous developments, the carrier device has a substantially round base. In this case, in particular a round or circular base surface is preferred, wherein in such an embodiment, the separator alone already provides a separate pattern section available.

In expedient embodiments, at least one separating device has a substantially rectangular base surface, in which case a square base surface is particularly preferred. Such a separating device can also provide an independent sample surface or a separate sample section.

At least one separating device preferably provides the pattern surface at least in sections. In this case, such a separating device may in particular have a kind of intermediate plane or an intermediate bottom which covers the pattern surface of the carrier device. A specific substrate or material can then be filled into the separating device, so that the substrate does not rest on the carrier device but on the separating device or on the intermediate bottom of the separating device.

The separating device preferably has at least one insertion section for insertion into at least one receiving section of at least one receiving device. On the one hand, a secure reception of the separating device on the carrier device or the pattern surface can be achieved via such a configuration. On the other hand, a specific orientation of the separating device can be specified. This can be advantageous in particular in separating devices with a rounded or rectangular base.

Particularly preferably, the insertion section divides the separating device. It is particularly preferred that a substantially round or rectangular base of a separator is divided by at least one plug-in into different compartments, so that the base of the separating elements or the individual Sample sections can be filled with different materials.

Particularly preferably, at least one covering device is provided. In this case, the covering device can in particular be configured as a kind of lid which covers the carrier device or the pattern surface. Thus, such a covering device can be used in particular for transporting a created pattern or a mandala. Furthermore, the durability of a mandala or pattern can be improved by a cover.

In order to have a view of the pattern or the mandala even with attached covering device, it can in particular be made transparent or at least partially transparent.

Such a covering device can also be used to transport the device when no pattern or mandala is made. Thus, for example, one or more separating devices can be placed on the pattern surface or on the carrier device and transported on this. So that the separating elements do not fall off the carrier device or the pattern surface during transport, the covering device can be placed on top. So a kind of transport box is provided.
