Flexible strap with retaining clip for attaching timing and counting devices.

The innovation relates to a fastening and carrying device for timing and counting devices in pocket watch or other form, which offers great safety in the event of excessive body movements , prevents automatic loosening at the fastening point, comfortable wearing, better reading, and more options for fastening on items of clothing in the correct, hanging position or in a transverse resting position, for example when driving a car.

Timing and counting devices, especially movement and step counters in pocket watch or other form, are known which, instead of the usual support ring pivotably attached to the watch crown for attaching to the watch chain, have a similarly flexible, steel or plastic, resilient clamp - and hanging brackets to be able to hang the counter in a vertical position at suitable places on the clothing.

This type of suspension has the major disadvantage that it is not appropriate for the sensitive counting device to be carried Safe to carry because the suspension bracket - despite the clamping spring - it hangs up by itself during special body movements such as bending over, sitting down or during movement exercises and that Drops the device on the floor.

In addition, the Aufhängemöglichkeittn at the Kleidung.ins- J special for ladies dresses often impossible or CSHR Gd & bränkt. Further disadvantages of the previously known method of fastening and carrying are the inconvenience, for example when hanging as ?. Bunu of obese? »Rson *? N. »Si! -I the counting device does not cling to the body shape due to the inelastic connection with the suspension bracket. The fact that it has to be removed by the wearer to adjust the step length or age level, to read the waiting area on the scale and to reset the pointer, because the rigid suspension does not allow the scales and the dial to be rotated, is a further disadvantage of the previous carrying attachment of counting devices.

The purpose of the additional retaining clip of the carrying tape according to the innovation is to secure the hanging, fastening and carrying of the counting device on clothing and to ensure that it can be released automatically from the fastening point and thus falling down, - even with unusual body movements - to prevent. In addition, the different ones expand considerably Possibilities for fastening, especially for women's dresses without belts, bags, etc., by means of this retaining clip. Even Here the innovation also serves the purpose of making the counting device easier to use (= reading the dial, Setting the stride length or the age level, zeroing the pointer) without having to detach the device from its suspension.

The object is achieved according to the innovation in that the support connection between the counting device and the clip attached to the garment - instead of the rigid suspension as with the clamp and suspension bracket -,

Timing and counting devices are primarily used for movement and athletic training control. They are used by healthy people as well as those in need of relaxation, by athletes and Worn by non-athletes to observe and measure their range of motion. In order to do justice to the versatile applications, It is therefore necessary that their applicability, such as attaching to clothing, whether externally visible or invisible, is versatile and comfortable and safe for the wearer is. Since timing and counting devices are usually driven by step movements via a built-in pendulum system, they should therefore always be worn hanging and close to the body.

Helper clips are known in a number of tried and tested designs. To attach the tape according to the innovation, hurry the Under the given conditions, clothes are suitable for hand-operated holding clips (clips) which, when opened, encompass the edge of a belt or a clothes band like pliers and their movable clamp legs by folding them down a lever, which is designed as a closing flap to be actuated, can be closed and secured. For better support the inside of the clamp handles are provided with toothed plastic inserts, which sink firmly into the fabric when they are closed and exclude an automatic detachment. To remove the clamp, the closing flap must be lifted by hand, with the clamp legs only opening after overcoming a dead one Open point. Retaining clips of the type described above have for pulling through and fastening bands, for example such as for suspenders or to attach to straps according to the innovation, a closed carrying handle, which is on the

Hinge side is firmly attached to the rear clamping leg part. In the present case of the factory production of the carrier tapes, this is firmly built into the upper, narrow tape loop.

The knowledge of the safe? R «gföfm for counting device aittsls Lanyards according to the innovation, has led to the holder on timing and counting devices on the outer edge of the case, above the dial, to be attached in the same way as with wristwatches. The bracket consists of two consoles and a continuous, pull-out retaining pin. In this way, the counting device can also be used retrospectively or, if necessary, exchanged for the purpose of renewal or for reasons of fashion. The setting for the Stride length or for the age groups is through this bracket and thus the elimination of the usual ü *: tkrone, as well as with Consideration for the more manageable operation on the right, outer side of the dial, in the form of an adjusting slide housed with the associated scale.

The task of designing the actual fastener tape according to the innovation is achieved by using an approximately 110 mm Long section of flexible, ribbed, single or multi-colored textile tape - as used for example for couleur tapes for students wi: ~ d -, to form a chaff loop unequal loop size is formed. Appropriately, the two ends of the tape are fully rounded and in the center of the Roundings each with a hole to accommodate a hollow rivet or closure parts of a push button. At a distance of at least a range of the hole size of the one At the end of the tape towards the middle, a third hole of the same size is made. For shaping the upper, narrow loop of tape

The end of the tape is used for the purpose of receiving the bracket of the retaining clip with the two holes pulled from the front through the Tragbüqel so far and folded parallel to the rest of the hinge part, until both holes are exactly on top of each other. The opposite bandenda is also folded backwards so that that all three holes are exactly flush * with one of carbon rivets inserted through the three flush holes on the front side of the tape will be the dre? Belt parts firmly connected to one another. The asymmetrical rivet connection ensures that a tight loop to accommodate the carrying handle and a Larger loop is created into which the holder of the counter is subsequently inserted. It has been found to be beneficial proven to make the loop for the counting device larger so that the retaining pin has plenty of leeway in it to besonc : To be able to follow or avoid body movements. Besides that the rotation of the counter into the correct reading position is made possible by the large margin. Intended to the strap can be designed to be exchangeable, so the connection of the two ends of the strap with the middle part - instead of the non-detachable rivet - to be completed by installing a push button.

It has been shown that the fastening options of the carrier tape according to the innovation are very versatile. To the To meet the wearing regulations, the retaining clip can be used in the first place Line a waistband and skirt, as well as attached to a belt, The counting device must be worn visibly outside or invisibly under the waistband or belt. In trouser or skirt pockets the clip can be attached to the edge of the pocket, with the counting device in the correct position Falling out secured, is housed in the bag.

The lower, large loop of the strap by using it as a belt or belt. is used as a pull-through loop. Here, for example for men’s clothing, the waistband loop or waistband extension and in the case of women's clothing, a belt with a buckle or a tie belt is pulled through the large loop and the counting device hung thereon, wherein the retaining clip can also be attached to the clothing. For exclusive Using the fastener tape as a pull-through loop, this can also be used for the intended purpose without the retaining clip to serve. The flexible strap suspension always has the advantage that it adapts to the clothing and can follow or give in to body movements, due to gravity and thanks to the flexibility, the vertical support position of the counting device is maintained.

Another advantage is the additional type of fastening provided by the button slot on the rear part of the hinge on suitably available clothes buttons or on those that are for this purpose can be attached at a suitable point, in particular on women's clothes.

The textile tape itself can be in special color arrangements as Party, association or other identifying or affiliation marks apply. By attaching an advertising space or -Signs on the front of the tape can be used to advertise the liner and use it as a promotional item or gift Find.
