Description

The present invention relates to a device for winding up strip-shaped material, comprising a winding area and a handle area connected thereto.

The present invention relates in particular to a winding aid for strip-shaped material, for example for sanitary napkins, support bandages made from elastic strips of fabric or the like.

The object of the invention is to provide a simple mold that is easy to handle and is suitable for winding up relatively long strip-shaped material, such as bandages and bandages, more easily and quickly.

The solution to the aforementioned problem provides a device for winding up strip-shaped material with the features of claim 1. According to the invention it is provided that the device is elongated in the shape of a rod and the winding region has a gap or a notch into which the strip-shaped material to be wound up can be inserted. wherein the strip-shaped material can be wound up in the winding area by rotating the device about its longitudinal axis.

The coiling of the strip-shaped material with the aid of the device according to the invention can be carried out in that the material to be wound up is pushed into the side of the winding rod opened by the gap or the notch and after a few short rotations of the device about its longitudinal axis, the strip-shaped material can no longer slip off.

In contrast to the known winding devices, the device according to the invention preferably consists of one piece, which has the advantage that the winding device according to the invention can be produced in a mold of simple design.

In addition, the device according to the invention is comparatively small, portable and can be used anywhere, which means that it does not require a base or the like like other devices.

Such a winding tool is easy to produce and has the advantage that it can be used quickly, noiselessly and at any time.

The opening of the winding aid is shaped in such a way that after the strip-shaped material has been wound up, it is firmly wrapped around the winding tool, so that easy removal is ensured.

According to a preferred development of the solution to the problem according to the invention, the winding area is fork-shaped due to the gap or the notch, and extensions are formed on both sides of the gap or the notch, onto which the strip-shaped material can be wound, with these extensions being connected at one end to the handle area are. One end of the strip-shaped material to be wound up is thus inserted into the gap or the notch and then, by rotating the device around its own longitudinal axis, which is usually done manually, the strip-shaped material is wound around the two extensions in the winding area, so that a spiral winding path results.

The device according to the invention is elongate overall and is approximately rod-shaped, and in the longitudinal direction it includes the handle area, which is adjoined by the winding area. The lower section of the device when in use thus serves as a handle and the area adjoining it at the top, which has a gap or a notch, serves as a winding area around which the strip-shaped material is wound while the device is held in the winding area.

Correct winding of the bandage is very important for proper use of the bandage. If a bandage is not used correctly, it can impair blood supply or significantly increase the risk of injury. Proper winding is thus an important condition for bandages or similar band material that can be wound onto the device according to the invention.

The gap or the notch is preferably open at its end facing away from the grip area, with the grip area being at the bottom in the intended use position and the winding area connected to it consequently being at the top, so that the notch or the gap in the grip area is open at the top and the strip-shaped material to be wound can be introduced into the gap or the notch from above before the winding process then begins.

Preferably, the handle area is approximately cylindrical, at least over part of its length. A cylindrical rod-shaped grip area is easy to hold in the hand when the strip-shaped material is wound up by rotating the device around its axis.

The gap or the notch is preferably located approximately centrally in the winding area, viewed in the radial direction. With the central winding method, one hand holds the winding rod on the handle and with the other hand one end of the band is guided sideways into the opening. The winding rod is turned by hand on the handle so that the tape first wraps itself around the winding rod and then winds up further with each turn. To achieve a clean appearance with no overlapping layers of tape, the other hand guides the tape so that it wraps tightly and smoothly around itself until the bandage is fully wound. The wound bandage can now be easily pulled from the band winding body.

According to a preferred development of the invention, the radial width of the gap or the notch varies in different devices depending on the material thickness of the strip-shaped material to be wound up and/or the depth of the gap or the notch varies in the axial direction of the winding region depending on the width of the strip-shaped material to be wound up . In this way, depending on the width or material thickness of the winding material, a correspondingly adapted winding device can be made available, which is particularly suitable for the dimensions of the respective specific material.

The handle area of the device does not necessarily have to be purely cylindrical, but can also, for example, preferably have a thickening or a knob in the lower area of the handle area, which enables the device to be gripped even better with the hand.

The winding aid according to the invention preferably consists of a rod made of a wood material, metal or plastic. It is preferably formed in one piece and can be produced industrially in large numbers at low cost by means of suitable methods, for example in a mold.

• 3 a side view of a second exemplary embodiment of a winding device according to the invention in a side view;
• 4 a 90 ° offset side view of the device of 3 .

The following will first refer to the 1 and 2 Reference is made and a first possible exemplary embodiment of the present invention is explained on the basis of this. The device for winding up strip-shaped material is denoted by the reference numeral 10 as a whole. The device 10 is elongate overall and is approximately rod-shaped. Viewed over its axial length, the device comprises a lower cylindrical area, which is the handle area 11 by which the user holds the device 10 in his hand during the winding process. The winding area 12 adjoins the handle area 11 in the axial direction at the top. In this winding area 12 the device has a gap 13 which is open towards the top or a notch which is located approximately in the middle of the winding area 12 as seen in the radial direction. Through this gap 13, which extends downwards to the handle area 11, in which the device is not split, there are two axially extending extensions 14, 15 in the winding area 12, which are arranged on both sides of the gap 13.

During the winding process, one end of the band-like material (not shown here) is inserted into the gap 13 and then wound around the two extensions 14, 15 and spirally in several layers around the winding area 12 onto the underlying band layer.

In the 1 one can see the length of the gap 13 and the extensions 14, 15, which extend in the upper area of the device, for example over a third or half of the total length of the device 10, depending on the width of the strip-shaped material that is to be wound up. The width of the gap 13 in turn depends on the material thickness of the strip-shaped material to be wound up, since its starting area is pushed into the gap 13 and the gap 13 is expediently so wide that the strip-shaped material can be pushed into it with a little clamping and thus the beginning of the tape is held in the gap 13 at the beginning of the winding process.

2 shows a side view of the device 10 offset by about 90°, in which one looks at one of the two extensions 14 and one can see here that the device is designed in one piece and the two extensions 14, 15 in the lower end area of the winding area 12 seamlessly into the cylindrical Skip handle area 11.

The following will refer to the 3 and 4 1, there is shown a second, somewhat modified, embodiment of the web winding apparatus 10 of the present invention. Compared to the previously based on the 1 and 2 described variant is in accordance with the device 3 the gap 13 is slightly longer, so that wider strip-shaped material can be wound up here. The rod-shaped device 10 is also somewhat longer overall in the axial direction than in the exemplary embodiment described above. The handle area 11 of the 3 The device shown also differs somewhat from the variant described above, because here the lower end of the handle area 11 is not completely smooth, but a lower end thickening 16 is formed, above which there is a radial constriction 17, so that the thickening 16 a kind of knob is formed at the lower end of the handle area 11 and the device 10 can be better gripped and held by hand. Incidentally, the in the 3 and 4 Device 10 shown formed according to a similar principle as the device according to 1 and 2 , so that reference can be made to the statements made there.
