Font template

The innovation relates to a font template, consisting of a plate made of transparent material, from which the individual letters of the alphabet in upper and lower case as well as the digits zero to Nine are milled out and the writing instrument form leading grooves, with those letters and digits which have a closed line of lines, the inner area with the outer area of the plate is connected by at least one web.

In the conventional writing stencils which are used for writing on an object with a writing implement, such as. B. a pencil or an ink fountain pen are used, the writing instrument leading groove in those letters and numbers that have a self-contained line, is also in

732583918.10.73

closed, with the result that the inner area of the plate surrounded by the groove falls out, since it has more contact with the outer area of the rial. In such a template, for example, the letter "0" and the number ¹¹ O "are designed as an oval cutout, so that a groove leading the writing instrument is omitted and the writing instrument is only guided on the outside, ie at the edge of this cutout makes it necessary, however, that the writing implement must be constantly pressed against the edge of this cutout when using this template in order to transfer the respective letter or number correctly onto the object to be written on In the case of a closed line, this means that the writing implement must be moved along an imaginary conical surface, the tip of which is roughly in the user's wrist that the writing instrument in the absence of an internal guide from the Ran d of the cutout slips inward if the writing instrument is not pressed sufficiently hard against this edge, which results in unclean writing. This difficulty is particularly evident when such templates are to be used in connection with a teaching program for children of preschool age or for physically handicapped children.

^{So-called "box templates 1} " are known for labeling boxes or the like, which consist of a sheet metal plate from which the individual letters and

Numbers of a certain text are punched out, with those numbers and letters which have an in = iCii gs = clilss £ SiiSii Linisnsug syf ^ ° i == ?; _The area is connected to the outer area of the sheet metal plate by a web. In connection with such box stencils, however, a different labeling technique is used than with the writing stencils described above.These box stencils are completely covered with paint by means of a spray gun or a brush, with the color in the punched-out areas of the stencil facing the box or the respective inscribing object is transferred. Since the areas of the box covered by the webs are consequently not covered with paint, a characteristic typeface results, which is generally known as üschrift ^M wszsishust nird. The Asssrdsung of the

The webs connecting the inner area to the outer area of the metal plate are therefore purely from a strength point of view. In the case of the number ¹¹ O "or the letter" 0 ", the inner area is connected to the outer area of the sheet metal plate by a web arranged above and below. If you wanted to use a pencil or a pen, the writing instrument would have to be lifted off the paper after reaching the left edge of the lower bar, passed over the bar and placed back on the paper at the right edge of the bar, in order to then write the lettering up to the right To complete the edge of the upper web, whereupon the letter "0" or the number ⁿ 0 ^{n is completed} after lifting the template in the area of the two webs from the free hand

must become. The necessary lifting of the writing implements In the area of the bridge, however, there is a liquid Sohreibwsigs Hntgsgsn »Darübsrhinsus has also fought that templates designed in this way are completely unsuitable in connection with a teaching program for children, since they convey the inaccurate idea that letters or numbers are self-contained Have a line, consist of two components, which is a matter of course for learning to write or read difficult.

The innovation is therefore based on the task of creating a script template in which the writing implement is guided on both sides even with letters or numbers that have a self-contained line, whereby the inner area of the template must be held in place should be arranged in such a way that it does not stand in the way of fluent writing and that these letters or numbers can be transferred to the surface with the same writing movement, as is also used when writing without a template.

According to the innovation, this object is achieved in that the web is arranged exclusively at the point at which the writing movement begins and / or ends.

Due to the arrangement of the webs according to the innovation, the user of the script template enables the individual To transfer letters or numbers onto the surface with the same writing movement as they usually do is carried out when writing without a font template. The font template according to the innovation is suitable

732583918.10.73

-οι therefore not only excellent for learning to write, but it also allows a fluid; Notation to _; what their application under a

'' Teaching program for handicapped children in the first place

enables.

j Because the area of the line that is covered by the bridge

must be added after lifting the template from the free hand, is in a further embodiment the renewal-related font template provided that the letters or numbers are designed in such a way, that the web covers a straight area of the line. This measure makes working with the even further simplified according to the new font template, since a straight line drawn from the free hand itself— understandably easier to add than θχπ

The web can also be designed in such a way that it extends from the top to the bottom of the template tapered towards. This configuration of the web enables the writing implement to be pivoted accordingly to move the nib under the bridge, which shortens the area of the line that needs to be completed.

If one uses a thicker sheet of sufficiently resistant material for the production of the script template Selects material, the web can also be made thinner than the plate, so that the tapered Bridge at a distance above the underside of the template ends. This configuration of the web makes it possible to use the writing instrument from both sides so far below to drive in the jetty that a subsequent

732583918.10.73

There is no need to add to the area covered by the bridge.

The innovation is explained in more detail below with reference to some exemplary embodiments shown in the drawings. It shows:

Fig. 1 is a plan view of an innovation according to the invention

Font template for writing capital letters;

2 shows a plan view of a font template according to the invention for writing lowercase letters;

3 shows a plan view of a font template according to the invention for writing digits and mathematical expressions;

4 shows a section through on an enlarged scale

a modified embodiment of the font template according to the innovation transversely to the web; and

FIG. 5 shows, on an enlarged scale, a section similar to FIG. 4 through yet another embodiment the modern font template.

The font templates shown in FIGS. 1, 2 and 3 consist of a plate 1 made of transparent plastic, from which the individual letters or numbers are milled are, so that grooves 4 are formed in which a writing implement, such. B. a pencil or a felt-tip pen or the like used to transfer the respective letter or number to a base and

732583918.10.73

can be moved along this, the writing instrument is guided by the two edges of the groove. There are six each in the edge area of the font templates Aligned fitting holes 2, into which permanent magnets can be inserted, around the stencils against a base plate made of metal to be fixed in the desired position.

In the template according to FIG. 1, the letters of the alphabet are milled out of the plate 1 in capital letters. Of these, the following letters have a self-contained line: A, B, D, 0, P, Q and R. So that the inner areas of the plate surrounded by these closed lines do not fall out, they must be connected to the outer area of the plate by at least one web 3, i.e. i.e. that the milled out Groove 4 must not be closed in itself. So that this web concealing the line of lines the user not hindered when writing, it is arranged exclusively at the point at which the writing movement begins and / or ends.

At the letter "A" the normal writing movement begins at the lower end of the left leg, leading up and then down again to the lower end of the right leg, where the writing instrument lifted off will. Then the horizontal connecting branch is pulled through from left to right. The jetty is therefore on arranged on the left and right end of the horizontal connecting branch, where he can perform the normal typing movement not disabled. The area covered by the web can be extended by extending it after the font template has been lifted off the horizontal connecting branch can be added by hand without difficulty.

732583918.10.73

In the case of the letter "B", one usually first writes the left vertical branch in order to then write the right curved line. For this purpose, the writing instrument is placed at the top and lifted off at the bottom after the two semicircles have been executed. Therefore, it is arranged in each case a web em upper and lower ends of the curved polyline, so that with a single writing movement executed y can ground /.

In the case of the letter ¹¹ D "you also first write the left vertical branch in order to then write the right curved line. For this purpose, the writing implement is placed at the top and lifted off at the bottom when this line is completed Arranged at the beginning and at the end of the curved line so that it can be executed with a single movement «

With the letter "0", the writing movement usually begins at the highest area where it is after Completion of the full circle stops again. The cteg is therefore arranged in this upper area, so that the letter "0" can be executed with a single movement of the hand without having to take off the writing instrument.

In the case of the letter "P", the vertical branch is usually first drawn from top to bottom, whereupon the writing instrument is lifted off and placed again in the upper area in order to pull through the semicircle. The webs are therefore arranged at the upper and lower ends of the semicircle, i. H. at the point where the Rubbing motion for the semicircle begins and ends so that this can be done in one move.

732583918.10.73

The spelling of the letter "Q" is basically the same as that of the letter "0", which is why the web is arranged in the upper area for the same reasons.

The spelling of the letter "R" is fundamental the same as that of the letter "P", v. half the webs are also arranged here at the upper and lower end of the semicircular line. c are.

The template shown in Figure 2 contains the letters of the alphabet in lower case. Of these wise men the following letters form a self-contained line: CL, b, d, e, g, o, p, q and ß.

In the case of the letter "α", the writing instrument is usually placed at the top right and after completing one Moved full circle counterclockwise to form the vertical leg down and lifted off. The bridge is therefore arranged between the upper end of the full circle and the vertical leg, i. H. at the point at which the writing movement begins.

At the letter "b" the writing instrument is usually attached to the upper end of the vertical branch, moved downwards and then upwards again and lengthways of a full circle moved clockwise. The jetty is hence between the lower end of the full circle. and the vertical branch, d. h- at the point where the writing movement ends.

At the letter "d", the writing implement is usually

732583918.10.73

at the top right end of the full circle, moved counterclockwise and then up and led back down. The 5leg is therefore between located at the upper end of the full circle and the vertical branch, d. H. at the point where the writing movement begins.

At the letter "β" the writing implement is usually attached to the left inner end of the horizontal branch, moved to the right and then counterclockwise moved along the curved line. The bridge is therefore between the left end of the horizontal branch and the curved line area angeoi-dnet. d. H. at the point where the writing movement begins.

The letter "g" is usually the the same writing movement carried out as with the letter "ol", so that here too the web is between the upper end of the vertical branch and the full circle is arranged, d. H. at the point where the writing movement begins.

In the case of the letter "o", the spelling is the same as in capitalization, so that here too the web in the upper area, i.e. H. arranged at the beginning of the full circle which can therefore be carried out in one go in the usual way.

When the letter "p" is used, the writing instrument is usually used attached to the upper end of the vertical branch, moved downwards and then moved upwards again, whereupon the semicircle is executed clockwise.

732583918.10.73

The web is therefore between the vertical branch and the lower end of the semicircle, i.e. at the end of Scüreibbewegung arranged.

The spelling of the letter "q" is fundamental the same as with the letter "α" »which is why here too the web between the upper end of the vertical Astes and the full circle is arranged, since this is where the writing movement begins.

With the letter "ß" the writing instrument is usually placed at the lower end of the vertical branch, moved up and then moved down again to form two semicircles. The bridge is therefore between placed on the vertical branch and the end of the lower semicircle, d. H. at the point where the writing movement ends so that this letter can be executed in one go.

Pig's stencil. 3 contains the digits 0 to 9, of which the digits 0, 6, 8 and 9 are one in themselves have closed lines.

The spelling of the number "0" is the same as that of the letter ¹¹ O ", so that the web is also arranged in the upper area of the full circle for the reasons already mentioned.

In the case of the number "6", the writing instrument is usually placed at the top right and then clockwise moved along a spiral. The ridge is therefore located at the lower inner end of the spiral, i. H. at the point at which the writing movement ends, so that this

732583918.10.73

."1

Digit can be executed in one go.

The writing instrument is usually used for the digit "8 ··" placed on the right above the crossing point, moved counterclockwise and after reaching the crossing point Moved clockwise. The webs are therefore arranged on the right above or on the left below the intersection point, i.e. H. at the points where the Writing movement begins and ends.

At the number "9", the writing instrument is moved clockwise along a spiral, so the bridge is arranged at the right inner end of the spiral, d. H. at the point where the writing movement begins.

mathematical characters, from -x * i sn the character "%" has two closed full circles. Since the spelling of these full circles is the same as that of the number "0", the web is also arranged here in the uppermost area of the circle, where the writing movement usually begins or ends.

As has been explained in detail above, in the case of the font templates shown, there is letters in those or digits, which have a self-contained line, the web, which the of this line enclosed inner area of the plate connects to the outer area of the plate, each at the Arranged point at which the writing movement begins and / or ends. This fact has the consequence that this Letters or numbers can be transferred to the pad with the same writing movement as

732583918.10.73

they are also commonly used when writing without a stencil because this writing movement is not interrupted by the webs.

These letters and numbers are also designed such that covered by d'em web area of the polyline ^x straightforward, since a straight line up can be restored from the free hand experience shows easier than a curved. *that

In the embodiment of the script template shown in FIG. 4, a special feature is that the web 3 tapers from the top to the bottom of the template 1. Subregions of the milled groove 4 can be seen to the left and right of the web 3. With this configuration of the web, the writing instrument can be moved in a tilted position with the writing tip under the web, so that the area of the line that is to be added later is shortened.

In the embodiment according to FIG. 5, the downwardly tapering web 3 is spaced above from the underside of the template 1. The web 3 has approximately the same cross section for reasons of stability like the one according to FIG. 4, the template 1 or, however, the plate is somewhat thicker. In this embodiment becomes the inner area of a letter or a number with a self-contained line although held by the web 3, the special design of the web allows the writing implement or to move the writing tip from both sides of the web under this, so that the beginning uncL cover the end of the line and a subsequent It is no longer necessary to supplement the same after the template has been lifted off.
