Description

The invention relates to a fastening device for a pen to an object, preferably a book, a tablet, a tablet case or a game, comprising a band for fastening the pen, wherein the band is designed to form a receiving loop for the pen.

There are notebooks or diaries that have a loop for a pen.

The receiving loop is adapted to the pen, i.e. only a pen with a certain diameter can be inserted into the receiving loop and held in it.

It is therefore an object of the invention to provide a fastening device and a system which can be used in a variety of ways.

This problem is solved by the subject matter of the independent claims.

According to the invention, the fastening device is designed to fasten a pin to an object and/or can be used for this purpose.

The term pen is to be understood broadly and includes not only ordinary, analogue writing pens, e.g. fountain pens, ballpoint pens, felt-tip pens, pencils, wooden crayons and/or chalk pens, but also digital, e.g. interactive, pens.

The diameter of the pen is basically arbitrary. For example, it can be a thin pen, e.g. a pencil, or a thick pen, e.g. a felt-tip pen or a pen for children.

The item can preferably be a book, a tablet, a tablet case or a game.

The object can be designed as an analog object, e.g. as a print medium, or as a digital object, e.g. a tablet. Hybrid variants with printed and digital elements are also possible.

The book can be designed as a notebook, appointment calendar, hardcover book, coloring book and/or picture book.

The fastening device has a clamp for attachment to the object.

The clamp may preferably have a certain pre-tension to ensure it adheres securely to the object.

The clamp attaches the fastening device to the object, preferably in a detachable and/or secure manner.

The fastening is preferably done without tools.

The clamp allows the fastening device to be attached to different objects and/or positions as required. A permanent, non-detachable attachment to the object is not intended, for example, but is also possible in principle.

For example, the bracket may be U-shaped with a first leg and a second leg.

Preferably, the first leg and/or the second leg are rectangular and/or plate-shaped. The first leg and the second leg can preferably be oriented at least substantially parallel to one another.

The fastening device has a band for attaching the pin to the bracket.

The band is preferably attached to the clamp in a detachable manner. The band is preferably attached to the clamp without tools.

The pin is attached to the clip via the band, preferably detachably. The pin is preferably attached to the band without tools.

The band is designed to form a loop for the pen. The pen can then be inserted into or removed from the loop.

The band can be attached or is attached to the clamp in such a way that the diameter of the receiving loop is adjustable.

The loop can be adjusted to the diameter of the pen. This means that pens of different thicknesses and diameters can be securely attached.

The fastening device can therefore be used in a variety of ways.

Further developments of the invention can also be found in the dependent claims, the description and the accompanying drawings.

According to one embodiment, the band has a plurality of fastening recesses for fastening to the clamp.

The number of fastening recesses is basically arbitrary. For example, at least or exactly two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, ten or more fastening recesses can be provided.

For example, the mounting recesses can form a grid.

The fastening recesses can be arranged, preferably equidistantly, along the longitudinal extension of the strap, for example like a watch strap.

The different mounting recesses allow different diameters of the receiving loop to be adjusted.

According to a further embodiment, an end region of the band has a thickening.

The thickening is preferably larger than a recess in the clamp. The band can thus be pulled through the recess in the clamp until the thickening reaches the recess and forms a stop.

According to a further embodiment, the band comprises or consists of a rubber material.

For example, the rubber material can be a thermoplastic, elastomer and/or silicone.

In principle, any high-friction, flexible and/or elastic materials are conceivable.

The rubber material provides a good grip for the pen.

The rubber band can be threaded into the clamp, for example. This increases the friction in this area and/or prevents the clamp from accidentally coming loose from the object.

According to a further embodiment, the clamp comprises or consists of a plastic material, metal material and/or wood material.

Such materials are, for example, durable and/or robust.

According to a further embodiment, the clamp has a first leg with at least or exactly one recess for the band.

The thickening of the band is preferably larger than the size of the recess, while the rest of the band is smaller. The band can thus be guided largely through the recess until the thickening rests against the edge of the recess.

Preferably, at least or exactly two recesses are provided. In this case, the band can be guided, for example, from above the first leg through a first recess into an area between the first leg and the second leg. The band can be guided again above the first leg through a second recess.

A portion of the band can therefore be arranged between the first leg and the second leg in the assembled state.

This section can rest against an object located between the first leg and the second leg. This increases the friction in this area and/or prevents the clamp from accidentally coming loose. The band in this area also offers a certain degree of protection against damage to the object.

The receiving loop is preferably formed above the first leg.

According to a further embodiment, the clamp has a second leg with at least one mounting opening.

The mounting opening allows access from below to thread the strap through the recess(es).

Preferably, the mounting opening is larger than the recess.

According to a further embodiment, the clamp has, preferably at an apex between the first leg and the second leg, a nose, preferably directed downwards, for a fastening recess of the band.

Once the receiving loop is formed, the strap can be attached to the nose via a fastening recess, e.g. hooked and/or locked.

This allows the strap to be held securely and prevents it from coming loose accidentally.

The invention further relates to a system with a fastening device according to the invention and a pin.

The term pen is to be understood broadly and includes not only ordinary, analogue writing pens, e.g. fountain pens, ballpoint pens, felt-tip pens, pencils, wooden crayons and/or chalk pens, but also digital, e.g. interactive, pens.

The diameter of the pen is basically arbitrary. For example, it can be a thin pen, e.g. a pencil, or a thick pen, e.g. a felt-tip pen or a pen for children.

According to one embodiment, the pen is designed as a digital, e.g. interactive, pen.

Using a digital pen, it is possible to obtain additional information. For example, a user can move the pen over an object, e.g. a symbol and/or an image, or click or tap on a symbol and/or an image. Information can then be displayed to the user or information can be output, e.g. acoustically.

All aspects, embodiments and features of the invention described here can be combined with each other, preferably also independently of the specific embodiment in the context of which they are mentioned. Preferably, all subject matters of the dependent claims can be combined with each other and with each subject matter of the independent claims.

In general, it is noted that terms such as "a" or "an" do not necessarily mean "exactly one" or "exactly one", although this is also possible. The terms "a" or "an" can therefore be understood as "at least or exactly one" or "at least or exactly one". The use of the singular preferably includes the presence of the components in the plural and vice versa.

It is noted that "vorzugsweise" and "vorzugt" can be translated into English as "preferably". A feature introduced by "vorzugsweise" or "vorzugt" is purely optional, can be omitted and does not constitute a limitation, for example of the claims.
