Abstract

The name plate consists of a transparent plastics film case for the inscribed strip. The case rear is composed of two partially overlapping sectors of different size plus a badge pin formed from an anchoring leg within the case and a connected outside leg. The pin is secured to the larger of the rear sectors. The edge of the larger rear sector (4,2) facing the smaller sector (3) should have two grooves (5,6) at least as deep as the sector overlap so that the pin is held in the grooves when the large sector is overlapped by the smaller sector (3). The small sector covers the grooves entirely apart from a narrow bottom part.

Description

Die Erfindung betrifft ein Namensschild mit einer zur Aufnahme eines mit einem Namen beschrifteten Einschubstreifens dienenden, aus elastischer, durchsichtiger Kunststoffolie geformten Hülle, deren Rückenteil aus zwei sich partiell überlappenden, ungleich großen Abschnitten besteht, sowie mit einer mit dem größeren Abschnitt des Rückenteiles verbundenen Anstecknadel, die einen innerhalb der Hülle gelegenen Verankerungsschenkel und einen mit diesem verbundenen außerhalb der Hülle gelegenen Befestigungsschenkel aufweist.The invention relates to a name badge with a sleeve, which is used to hold a slide-in strip labeled with a name and is made of elastic, transparent plastic film, the back part of which consists of two partially overlapping, unequal sections, and a pin connected to the larger section of the back part, which has an anchoring leg located inside the casing and a fastening leg connected to the outside of the casing.

Bekannt sind Namensschilder der vorstehenden Art, bei denen einer der Abschnitte des Rückenteiles mit zwei im Abstand voneinander angeordneten, zur Halterung der Anstecknadel dienenden Löchern versehen ist (US-PS 30 23 522). Der Nachteil derartiger Namensschilder besteht darin, daß das Verbinden der Anstecknadel mit dem Rückenteil mühsam ist. In der Praxis bedeutet dies, daß der Herstellungskostenanteil, der auf die Nadelmontage entfällt, unverhältnismäßig groß ist. Es ist dies ein Umstand, der nicht zuletzt im Hinblick auf den Massenartikelcharakter von Namensschildern als außerordentlich störend zu bewerten ist.Name plates of the above type are known, in which one of the sections of the back part is provided with two holes which are arranged at a distance from one another and serve to hold the lapel pin (US Pat. No. 3,023,522). The disadvantage of such name badges is that connecting the lapel pin to the back part is tedious. In practice, this means that the proportion of manufacturing costs that is attributable to the needle assembly is disproportionately large. This is a circumstance that is to be assessed as extraordinarily disruptive, not least in view of the mass article character of name badges.

Der Erfindung liegt die Aufgabe zugrunde, ein Namensschild der in Betracht gezogenen Art so auszugestalten, daß der Aufwand für die Montage der Anstecknadel deutlich reduziert wird. Diese Aufgabe wird erfindungsgemäß dadurch gelöst, daß bei einem Namensschild der eingang beschriebenen Gattung der größere Abschnitt des Rückenteiles an seinem dem kleineren Abschnitt des Rückenteiles zugewandten Rand mit mindestens zwei Nuten versehen ist, in denen die Anstecknadel durch den anderen Abschnitt gegen Herausrutschen gesichert gelagert ist.The invention has for its object to design a name tag of the type under consideration so that the effort for mounting the pin is significantly reduced. This object is achieved in that in a name tag of the type described above, the larger section of the back part is provided on its edge facing the smaller section of the back part with at least two grooves in which the pin is secured against slipping out by the other section.

Das erfindungsgemäße Namensschild bietet den Vorteil, daß seine Anstecknadel schnell und bequem montiert werden kann.The name badge according to the invention has the advantage that its lapel pin can be installed quickly and easily.

Weitere Einzelheiten der Erfindung ergeben sich aus den Unteransprüchen und der nachstehenden Beschreibung des in der die Merkmale der Erfindung deutlich zeigenden einzigen Figur dargestellten Namensschildes.Further details of the invention emerge from the subclaims and the following description of the name plate shown in the single figure which clearly shows the features of the invention.

Das abgebildete Namensschild besitzt einen Vorderteil 1 und einen Rückenteil 2, Vorderteil 1 und Rückenteil 2 bestehen aus einem lediglich zweifach gefalzten und folglich kostengünstig herstellbaren einstückigen Folienstreifen aus durchsichtigem, hochelastischem, hinreichend steifem Material, insbesondere PVC. Der Rückenteil 2 wird von zwei Abschnitten 3 und 4 gebildet, die bei gleicher Breite ungleich lang sind. Der längere, d.h. größere Abschnitt 4 weist an seinem oberen dem Abschnitt 3 zugewandten Rand zwei Nuten 5 und 6 auf, die eine Halterung für eine Anstecknadel 7 bilden. Beim Einführen der Anstecknadel 7 in die Nuten 5 und 6 liegt der obere Rand des Abschnittes 4 anders als in der Zeichnung dargestellt vor dem Abschnitt 3. Erst nachdem die Anstecknadel 7 in die Nuten 5 und 6 eingelegt worden ist, drückt man den Abschnitt 4 unter leichtem Anheben des freien Randes des Abschnittes 3 unter diesen. Das Anheben des Randes des Abschnittes 3 wird dabei durch den leicht abgewinkelten Teil 8 des Abschnittes 3 erleichtert.The name badge shown has a front part 1 and a back part 2, front part 1 and back part 2 consist of a one-piece film strip made from transparent, highly elastic, sufficiently rigid material, in particular PVC, which is folded only twice and is therefore inexpensive to produce. The back part 2 is formed by two sections 3 and 4, which are of unequal length with the same width. The longer one, i.e. The larger section 4 has on its upper edge facing section 3 two grooves 5 and 6 which form a holder for a pin 7. When inserting the lapel pin 7 into the grooves 5 and 6, the upper edge of the section 4 lies in front of the section 3 differently than shown in the drawing. Only after the lapel pin 7 has been inserted into the grooves 5 and 6 is the section 4 suppressed slightly lifting the free edge of section 3 under these. Lifting the edge of section 3 is facilitated by the slightly angled part 8 of section 3.

Die Anstecknadel 7 hat einen die eigentliche Nadel bildenden Befestigungsteil 9 und einen zwischen dem Vorderteil 1 und dem Rückenteil 2 liegenden Verankerungsteil 10. Um der Anstecknadel 7 eine ihre Handhabung erleichternde gute Lagestabilität zu geben, weist der Verankerungsteil 10 zwei Stützbogen 11 und 12 auf, die in einer parallel zum Vorderteil verlaufenden Ebene liegen und der Anstecknadel 7 eine gute Kippfestigkeit vermitteln.The pin 7 has a fastening part 9 which forms the actual needle and an anchoring part 10 lying between the front part 1 and the back part 2. In order to give the pin 7 a good positional stability which facilitates its handling, the anchoring part 10 has two supporting arches 11 and 12 which lie in a plane running parallel to the front part and provide the pin 7 with a good resistance to tipping.

Im dargestellten Fall deckt der Abschnitt 3 den Rand des Abschnittes 4 auf der gesamten Abschnittsbreite ab. Möglich ist stattdessen auch eine Lösung, bei der der zwischen den Nuten 5 und 6 gelegene Randteil des Abschnittes 4 den Abschnitt 3 überdeckt.In the illustrated case, section 3 covers the edge of section 4 over the entire section width. Instead, a solution is also possible in which the edge part of section 4 located between grooves 5 and 6 covers section 3.

Claims (5)

A name-strip holder comprising a sheath made of resilient transparent plastics foil for holding an insertion strip bearing a name, the back part of the plate comprising two partially overlapping portions of unequal size and a fastening pin connected to the larger portion of the back part and comprising an anchoring limb inside the sheath and a securing limb outside the sheath and connected to the anchoring limb, characterised in that the larger portion (4) of the back part (2), at its edge facing the smaller portion (3) of the back part (2), has at least two slots (5, 6) in which the pin (7) is secured by the other portion (3) so that it cannot slip out.
