Description

Die Erfindung betrifft ein ein- oder mehrschichtiges Band aus flexiblem Werkstoff, wie beispielsweise Leder, Kunststoff od. dgl., mit unter Bildung einer Schlaufe umgeschlagenem Ende, wobei mit dem Band im Bereich der Schlaufe eine im wesentlichen U-förmig gebogene Blattfeder verbunden ist.The invention relates to a single-layer or multi-layer band made of flexible material, such as leather, plastic or the like, with the end folded over to form a loop, a substantially U-shaped leaf spring being connected to the band in the region of the loop.

Es ist bekannt, bei Bändern die Schlaufe durch Verkleben des zur Schlaufenbildung umgeschlagenen Endes des Bandes zu fixieren. Es ist auch schon vorgeschlagen worden, im Schlaufenbereich des Bandes Metallstreifen anzuordnen, die nach dem Umbiegen des Bandendes zur Bildung der Schlaufe einen Teil der beim Umbiegen entstehenden Spannung des Bandwerkstoffes aufnehmen. Schließlich sind verschiedene hakenartige Ausbildungen an Bandenden bekannt, mit welchen die Bänder an Stegen, z.B. von Uhren, eingehängt werden können. So ist aus der FR-PS 2 166 463 ein Uhrband bekannt, das einen karabinerartigen Haken besitzt, mit dem es an einer Uhr befestigt werden kann. Im an der Uhr zu befestigenden Bereich ist eine etwa U-förmig gebogene Blattfeder vorgesehen.It is known to fix the loop in the case of tapes by gluing the end of the tape turned over to form the loop. It has also already been proposed to arrange metal strips in the loop region of the band which, after the band end has been bent over to form the loop, absorb part of the tension of the band material which arises during the bending. Finally, various hook-like designs at the ends of the tapes are known, with which the tapes on webs, e.g. of clocks. A watch strap is known from FR-PS 2 166 463, which has a carabiner-like hook with which it can be attached to a watch. An approximately U-shaped leaf spring is provided in the area to be fastened to the watch.

Problematisch bei den bekannten Schlaufenausbildungen ist der Umstand, daß sowohl das Montieren als auch das Auswechseln von Bändern deswegen schwierig ist, weil die Schlaufen einerseits für einen sicheren Halt zuverlässig geschlossen sein müssen, anderseits aber zum Befestigen bzw. Abnehmen leicht geöffnet werden können sollen.The problem with the known loop designs is the fact that both the mounting and the replacement of tapes is difficult because the loops on the one hand have to be reliably closed for a secure hold, but on the other hand should be easy to open for fastening or removing.

Der Erfindung liegt die Aufgabe zugrunde, ein Band der eingangs genannten Gattung so weiterzubilden, daß die Schlaufe leicht geöffnet bzw. geschlossen werden kann.The invention has for its object to develop a band of the type mentioned so that the loop can be easily opened or closed.

Erfindungsgemäß wird dies dadurch erreicht, daß mindestens einer der Schenkel der Blattfeder gewölbt ausgebildet ist, wobei die Hohlseite der Wölbung dem anderen Schenkel der Blattfeder zugekehrt und der Abstand zwischen dem Band und dem zur Schlaufenbildung umgeschlagenen Ende durch Durchdrücken der Wölbung in Richtung auf den anderen Schenkel zu vergrößerbar ist.According to the invention this is achieved in that at least one of the legs of the leaf spring is curved, the hollow side of the curvature facing the other leg of the leaf spring and the distance between the band and the end turned over to form a loop by pushing the curvature in the direction of the other leg is too enlargeable.

Bei der erfindungsgemäßen Ausbildung ist es durch einfaches Hin- und Herwölben des gewölbten Schenkels der Blattfeder möglich, die Schlaufe zu öffnen bzw. zu schließen.In the embodiment according to the invention, it is possible to open or close the loop by simply arching the curved leg of the leaf spring back and forth.

In einer bevorzugten Ausführungsform ist vorgesehen, daß der Schenkel der Blattfeder, der dem zur Bildung der Schlaufe umgeschlagenen Ende des Bandes gegenüberliegt, gewölbt ausgebildet ist. Bei dieser Ausführungsform wird zusätzlich der Effekt erzielt, daß das Band im Schlaufenbereich bei geschlossener Schlaufe, d.h. bei nach außen erhabener Wölbung, ebenfalls gewölbt ist, was dem Band ein besonders kompaktes und ansprechendes Aussehen gibt.In a preferred embodiment it is provided that the leg of the leaf spring, which lies opposite the end of the band folded over to form the loop, is curved. In this embodiment the effect is additionally achieved that the band in the loop area with the loop closed, i.e. in the case of a bulge which is raised outwards, is also arched, which gives the band a particularly compact and attractive appearance.

Im Rahmen der Erfindung kann weiters vorgesehen sein, daß der im Bereich des zur Schlaufenbildung umgeschlagenen Endes des Bandes mit dem Band verbundene Schenkel der Blattfeder unter Bildung eines ösenartigen Aufnahmeraumes gekröpft ausgebildet ist. Bei dieser Ausbildung ist ohne Beeinträchtigung der Schließbarkeit der Schlaufe genügend Aufnahmeraum für einen Steg, z.B. einer Uhr, gewährleistet, an dem das Band befestigt werden soll.In the context of the invention it can further be provided that the leg of the leaf spring connected to the band in the region of the end of the band folded over to form a loop is cranked to form an eyelet-like receiving space. With this design, there is sufficient receiving space for a web, e.g. a watch, to which the strap is to be attached.

Gemäß einer Ausführungsform der Erfindung ist vorgesehen, daß das freie Ende des mit dem umgeschlagenen Ende des Bandes verbundenen Schenkels der Blattfeder zum Band bzw. dem anderen Schenkel der Blattfeder hin abgewinkelt ist. Bei dieser Ausführungsform liegt auch das freie Ende des zur Schlaufenbildung umgeschlagenen Bandteiles bei geschlossener Schlaufe an der Innenseite des Bandes sicher an.According to one embodiment of the invention it is provided that the free end of the leg of the leaf spring connected to the folded end of the band is angled towards the band or the other leg of the leaf spring. In this embodiment, the free end of the band part turned over to form loops also lies securely on the inside of the band when the loop is closed.

Die erfindungsgemäß vorgesehene U-förmig gebogene Blattfeder kann bei einschichtigen Bändern an der Innen- bzw. Unterseite desselben z.B. durch Kleben befestigt sein. Bei mehrschichtigen Bändern, z.B. bei Uhrbändern, empfiehlt es sich im Rahmen der Erfindung, die Blattfeder zumindest teilweise zwischen Obermaterial und Futter anzuordnen. Das Futterleder kann sich dabei sowohl über die gesamte Innenseite des Bandes, d.h. bis zum freien Ende des zur Schlaufenbildung umgeschlagenen Bandteiles, oder aber beispielsweise nur bis zum Biegebereich der Blattfeder erstrecken bzw. kurz davor enden.The U-shaped leaf spring provided according to the invention can be used for single-layer tapes on the inside or underside thereof, e.g. be fixed by gluing. With multilayer belts, e.g. for watch straps, it is recommended within the scope of the invention to arrange the leaf spring at least partially between the upper material and the lining. The lining leather can cover the entire inside of the belt, i.e. extend to the free end of the band part turned over to form loops, or for example only up to the bending area of the leaf spring or end shortly before.

Die Schlaufe läßt sich dann besonders weit öffnen, wenn der die Wölbung aufweisende Schenkel der Blattfeder länger ausgebildet ist als der andere Schenkel der Blattfeder, wobei sich die Wölbung vorzugsweise nur über einen Teil der Länge des Schenkels erstreckt.The loop can then be opened particularly widely if the leg of the leaf spring which has the curvature is longer than the other leg of the leaf spring, the curvature preferably extending only over part of the length of the leg.

Schließlich kann im Rahmen der Erfindung noch vorgesehen sein, daß der im Bereich des umgeschlagenen Endes angeordnete Schenkel der Blattfeder wölbungsfrei ausgebildet ist.Finally, it can also be provided in the context of the invention that the leg of the leaf spring which is arranged in the region of the folded-over end is designed without curvature.

Weitere Einzelheiten und Merkmale der Erfindung ergeben sich aus der nachstehenden Beschreibung der in den Zeichnungen wiedergegebenen Ausführungsbeispiele. Es zeigt

  • Figur 1 im Längsschnitt den Schlaufenbereich eines zweischichtigen Bandes,
  • Figur 2 einen Schnitt längs der Linie 11-11 in Figur 1,
  • Figur 3 das Band aus Figur 1 mit geöffneter Schlaufe,
  • Figur 4 einen Schnitt längs der Linie IV-IV in Figur 3 und die
  • Figuren 5 bis 8 im Rahmen der Erfindung verwendbare U-förmige Blattfedern in schaubildlicher Darstellung.
Further details and features of the invention result from the following description of the exemplary embodiments shown in the drawings. It shows
  • FIG. 1 shows the loop area of a two-layer band in longitudinal section,
  • FIG. 2 shows a section along the line 11-11 in FIG. 1,
  • 3 shows the band from FIG. 1 with the loop open,
  • 4 shows a section along the line IV-IV in Figure 3 and the
  • Figures 5 to 8 usable in the context of the invention U-shaped leaf springs in a diagrammatic representation.

Das in den Figuren 1 bis 4 gezeigte Band 1 besteht aus Obermaterial 2 und Futter 3, die beide beispielsweise aus Leder bestehen können, wobei das Ende 5 des Bandes 1 unter Bildung einer Schlaufe 4 auf das Band 1 umgeschlagen ist. In der gezeigten Ausführungsform erstreckt sich das Futter 3 bis in den Bereich der Schlaufe 4 und endet dort. Es ist aber auch eine Ausführungsform denkbar, bei der das Futter 3 bis zum freien Ende 5 des Bandes 1 reicht. Wie aus Figur 2 ersichtlich, kann das Band 1 im Bereich seiner Längsseitenkanten teilweise oder durchgehend rembordiert sein, d.h. das Obermaterial 2 übergreift die beiden Längsseitenflächen des Futters 3.The band 1 shown in FIGS. 1 to 4 consists of upper material 2 and lining 3, both of which can be made of leather, for example, the end 5 of band 1 being folded over onto band 1 to form a loop 4. In the embodiment shown, the lining 3 extends into the area of the loop 4 and ends there. But it is also one Embodiment conceivable in which the lining 3 extends to the free end 5 of the belt 1. As can be seen from FIG. 2, the band 1 can be partially or continuously remborded in the region of its longitudinal side edges, ie the upper material 2 overlaps the two longitudinal side surfaces of the lining 3.

Im Bereich der Schlaufe 4 ist mit dem Band 1 eine Blattfeder 6 verbunden, die im wesentlichen U-förmig abgebogen ist. Die Blattfeder 6 besitzt zwei Schenkel 7 und 8. Der Schenkel 7 ist in seinem mittleren Bereich gewölbt ausgebildet, wobei sich die Wölbung 9, wie aus den Figuren 5 und 6 ersichtlich, nur über einen Teil der Länge des Schenkels 7 erstreckt. Es sind daher die an die Wölbung 9 anschließenden Abschnitte 10 und 11 des Schenkels 7 der Blattfeder 6 eben ausgebildet. Ebenso ist der Schenkel 8 der Blattfeder 6, d.i. der im Bereich des zur Schlaufenbildung ungeschlagenen Endes 5 des Bandes 1 angeordnete Schenkel, bis auf eine Abkröpfung 13 zur Bildung eines Aufnahmeraumes für einen Steg od. dgl. eben ausgebildet.In the area of the loop 4, a leaf spring 6 is connected to the band 1 and is bent essentially in a U-shape. The leaf spring 6 has two legs 7 and 8. The leg 7 is curved in its central region, the curvature 9, as can be seen from FIGS. 5 and 6, only extend over part of the length of the leg 7. The sections 10 and 11 of the leg 7 of the leaf spring 6 adjoining the curvature 9 are therefore flat. Likewise, the leg 8 of the leaf spring 6, i.e. the leg arranged in the region of the unbeaten end 5 of the band 1 to form a loop, with the exception of a bent portion 13 to form a receiving space for a web or the like.

Wird nun die Wölbung 9 im Schenkel 7 der Blattfeder 6 in die in Figur 3 bzw. 5 gezeigte Stellung durchgedrückt, dann öffnet sich die Schlaufe 4, wie dies in den Figuren 3 und 4 gezeigt ist. Es kann nun das Band 1 mit seiner Schlaufe z.B. am Steg einer Uhr eingehängt werden. Nach dem Einhängen des Bandes 1 wird die Wölbung 9 wieder in die in Figur 1 und 6 gezeigte Lage zurückgedrückt, wobei sich die Schlaufe schließt. Das Zurückdrücken der Wölbung 9 aus der in Figur 3 gezeigten Lage in die in Figur 1 gezeigte Lage kann einfach dadurch erfolgen, daß man von unten etwa im Bereich des zur Schlaufenbildung umgeschlagenen Endes 5 des Bandes 1 gegen das Band 1 drückt.If the curvature 9 in the leg 7 of the leaf spring 6 is now pushed into the position shown in FIGS. 3 and 5, the loop 4 opens, as shown in FIGS. 3 and 4. Belt 1 can now be looped e.g. be hung on the bridge of a clock. After the band 1 has been hung in, the curvature 9 is pushed back into the position shown in FIGS. 1 and 6, the loop closing. The curvature 9 can be pushed back from the position shown in FIG. 3 into the position shown in FIG. 1 simply by pressing against the band 1 from below approximately in the region of the end 5 of the band 1 which is turned over to form loops.

Bei der in den Figuren 7 und 8 gezeigten Ausführungsform ist die Wölbung 9' in dem Schenkel 8' der Blattfeder 6' vorgesehen, der im Bereich des zur Schlaufenbildung umgeschlagenen Endes 5 des Bandes 1 angeordnet ist. Der andere Schenkel 7' der Blattfeder 6' ist im wesentlichen eben ausgebildet. Es ist aber auch eine (nicht gezeigte) Ausführungsform der Blattfeder denkbar, bei der beide Schenkel eine Wölbung aufweisen.In the embodiment shown in FIGS. 7 and 8, the curvature 9 'is provided in the leg 8' of the leaf spring 6 ', which is arranged in the region of the end 5 of the band 1 which is folded over to form loops. The other leg 7 'of the leaf spring 6' is essentially flat. However, an embodiment (not shown) of the leaf spring is also conceivable in which both legs have a curvature.
