Description

TECHNISCHES GEBIETTECHNICAL AREA

Die Erfindung betrifft eine Tischdecke, die zum einmaligen Bedecken der Tischplatte eines Tisches geeignet ist. Derartige Tischdecken hängen seitlich von der Tischplatte nach unten, so dass die Größe der Tischdecke größer ist als die Plattengröße der Tischplatte.The invention relates to a tablecloth, which is suitable for once covering the table top of a table. Such tablecloths depend laterally from the table top down so that the size of the tablecloth is greater than the plate size of the table top.

STAND DER TECHNIKSTATE OF THE ART

Tischdecken der eingangs genannten Art, die insbesondere zum einmaligen Abdecken von Biertischen Verwendung finden, sind bekannt. So gibt es entsprechende Tischdecken, die aus einer Papier-Rollenbahn in entsprechender Länge abgerissen werden. Die axiale Länge der Papierrolle entspricht dabei der Breite der Tischdecke. Üblicherweise werden die Ränder der Tischdecke an der Unterseite der Tischplatte angeklebt. Da das Material der Tischdecke sehr dünn ist und leicht einreißt, sieht die Tischabdeckung bereits nach wenigen Stunden sehr unansehnlich aus. Die Kurzlebigkeit der Tischdecke wird noch dadurch verstärkt, dass sie nicht feuchtigkeits- beziehungsweise wasserabweisend ist; durch Verschütten von Flüssigkeiten, wie Bier, Wein und dergleichen, durchfeuchtet die Tischdecke vollständig, so dass sie - abgesehen von der dadurch eintretenden optischen Beeinträchtigung - an der Tischplatte festklebt und ihre Reißfestigkeit vollständig verliert.Tablecloths of the type mentioned above, which are used in particular for one-off covering of beer tables, are known. So there are appropriate tablecloths, which are demolished from a paper roller conveyor in the appropriate length. The axial length of the paper roll corresponds to the width of the tablecloth. Usually, the edges of the tablecloth are glued to the underside of the table top. Since the material of the tablecloth is very thin and easily tears, the table cover looks very unsightly after just a few hours. The short life of the tablecloth is reinforced by the fact that it is not moisture or water repellent; By spilling liquids, such as beer, wine and the like, the tablecloth thoroughly moistens, so that - apart from the optical impairment that occurs as a result - it sticks to the tabletop and completely loses its tensile strength.

Eine andere Art von Tischdecken, die ebenfalls insbesondere zum Abdecken von Biertischen vorgesehen ist, besteht aus einem Tuchmaterial. Eine entsprechend große Tuchbahn wird zu einer Art Kappe zusammengenäht, so dass die Tuchbahn wie eine Kappe von oben über die Tischplatte eines Biertisches oder in vergleichbarer Weise auch über eine Biertischbank gestülpt werden kann. Eine solche Tischdecke - und eine in gleicher Weise Biertischbankdecke - besitzt infolge ihres Tuchmaterials und ihrer exakten "Verkleidung" der entsprechenden Platte eines Tisches oder einer Bank ein sehr gefälliges Aussehen. Allerdings sind die durch sie verursachten Kosten wesentlich höher als sie bei der Verwendung einer Papierbahn-Tischdecke anfallen.Another type of tablecloth, which is also intended in particular for covering beer tables, consists of a cloth material. A correspondingly large cloth web is sewn together to form a cap, so that the cloth web can be slipped over the table top of a beer table or in a comparable manner over a Biertisch bench like a cap from above. Such a tablecloth - and in the same way Biertischbankdecke - has due to their cloth material and their exact "disguise" the corresponding plate of a table or a bank a very pleasing appearance. However, the costs they incur are much higher than those incurred when using a paper tablecloth.

Aus der GB 862, 179 ist eine Stoff-Tischdecke bekannt, deren Randbereiche senkecht an den Seiten des Tisches herabhängen und deren Eckbereiche mittels beispielsweise Druckknöpfe, Reißverschlüssen oder Bändern befestigt werden. Die Befestigung erfolgt dabei an den jeweiligen Randbereichen der Tischdecke.From the GB 862, 179 is a fabric tablecloth is known, the edge areas senenkess hang down on the sides of the table and the corner areas are attached by means of, for example, snaps, zippers or straps. The attachment takes place at the respective edge regions of the tablecloth.

DARSTELLUNG DER ERFINDUNGPRESENTATION OF THE INVENTION

Ausgehend von diesem vorbekannten Stand der Technik liegt der Erfindung die Aufgabe zugrunde, eine Tischdecke anzugeben, die es ermöglicht, die Tischplatten von Biertischen oder auch von Biertischbänken möglichst wirtschaftlich und dabei auf optisch möglichst gefällige Art abzudecken, so dass die Tischdecke auch zur einmaligen Verwendung wirtschaftlich sinnvoll eingesetzt werden kann. Dabei soll das Auflegen der Tischdecke auf eine entsprechende Platte möglichst wenig Aufwand erfordern.Based on this known prior art, the present invention seeks to provide a tablecloth, which makes it possible to cover the table tops of beer tables or beer benches as economically as possible and visually pleasing way, so that the tablecloth for single use economically can be used meaningfully. It should require the laying of the tablecloth on a corresponding plate as little effort.

Diese Erfindung ist durch die Merkmale des Hauptanspruchs gegeben. Sinnvolle Weiterbildungen der Erfindung sind Gegenstand von sich an den Hauptanspruch anschließenden weiteren Ansprüchen.This invention is given by the features of the main claim. Useful developments of the invention are the subject of further claims appending to the main claim.

Die erfindungsgemäße Tischdecke kann infolge der in ihr vorhandenen Schwächungslinien, die der Größe und Form einer Tischplatte angepasst sind, im Handumdrehen auf eine entsprechende Tischplatte aufgelegt und zu einer Kappe gefaltet werden. Die in den Ecken der Tischdecke jeweils entstehenden Falten einer insbesondere Innenfaltung können flachgedrückt werden, so dass eine in sich optisch geschlossene, ausreichend feste kappenartige Tischdeckenform gebildet werden kann. Solche Tischdecken haben einmal den Vorteil, dass sie von einem Windstoß praktisch nicht vom Tisch weggeweht werden können, so dass sie gut im Freien verwendet werden können. Dabei erweist sich das optische Erscheinungsbild eines solchermaßen abgedeckten Tisches oder auch einer solchermaßen abgedeckten Bank, wie sie beispielsweise bei einer Biertisch-Kombination vorhanden sind, als äußerst elegant.The tablecloth according to the invention can be placed in a flash on a corresponding table top and folded into a cap due to the present in her weakening lines, which are adapted to the size and shape of a table top. The folds of a particularly inner fold that respectively form in the corners of the tablecloth can be flattened so that a visually closed, sufficiently strong cap-like tablecloth shape can be formed. Such tablecloths once have the advantage that they can practically not be blown away from the table by a gust of wind so that they can be used well outdoors. In this case, the visual appearance of such a covered table or even such a covered bank, as they are present for example in a beer table combination proves to be extremely elegant.

Die flach aneinandergelegten Tischdeckenbereiche eines jeweiligen Faltenbereichs wie insbesondere Innenfaltenbereichs in dem Eckbereich eines Tisches können beispielsweise aneinandergetackert, aneinandergeklebt, miteinander vernäht oder auf andere leicht herstellbare, gegebenenfalls wieder lösbare Weise miteinander verbunden werden. Die Verklebung kann dabei beispielsweise mittels eines doppelseitig klebenden Klebebandes hergestellt werden.The flat abutted tablecloth areas of a respective fold region, such as in particular inner fold region in the corner region of a table, can for example be stapled together, glued together, sewn together or be connected to other easily manufacturable, possibly releasable manner. The bond can be produced for example by means of a double-sided adhesive tape.

Es ist auch möglich, Bändel an einem solchen Faltenbereich so vorzusehen, dass die Tischdeckenbereiche des betreffenden Eckbereichs durch Verknüpfen der Bändel ebenfalls dicht aneinander befestigt werden können.It is also possible to provide strips on such a fold area so that the table cover areas of the respective corner area can also be fastened tightly to each other by linking the strips.

Statt der Bändel kann auch eine Druckknopf-Einrichtung in dem Faltbereich der Tischdecke vorgesehen werden, so dass auch durch solche an sich bekannten Techniken die betreffenden Tischdeckenbereiche dicht aneinander befestigt werden können.Instead of the straps, a push-button device can also be provided in the folding area of the tablecloth, so that the tablecloth areas in question can also be fastened tightly to one another by techniques known per se.

Diese Befestigungstechnik ist im Bereich einer Innenfalte so ausgebildet, dass der betreffende Innenfaltenbereich von außen optisch kaum noch zu erkennen ist. Die an der Tischplatte nach unten hängenden, die Tischplatte seitlich abdeckenden Randbereiche der Tischdecke laufen dann wie ein Band rahmenförmig um die Tischplatte herum.This fastening technique is designed in the region of an inner fold so that the relevant inner fold area is visually barely visible from the outside. The edge areas of the tablecloth hanging down on the table top and laterally covering the table top then run like a ribbon around the table top like a ribbon.

Neben der ersten Art von Schwächungslinien, die in der Tischdecke vorhanden sind, um Randbereiche leicht und schnell am Rand der Tischplatte nach unten umbiegen zu können, sind in der Tischdecke auch eine zweite Art von Schwächungslinien vorhanden, und zwar in ihrem umbiegbaren Randbereich. Von dieser zweiten Art von Schwächungslinien sind zumindest zwei Schwächungslinien jeweils in einem Eckbereich der Tischdecke vorhanden, wo sie im auf einer Tischplatte aufgelegten Zustand den dort ausgebildeten Falten- oder Umschlagbereich jeweils seitlich begrenzen.In addition to the first type of weakening lines that are present in the tablecloth to easily and quickly bend edge areas on the edge of the table top down, in the tablecloth, a second type of weakening lines are present, in their bendable edge region. At least two weakening lines of this second type of weakening lines are present in each case in a corner region of the tablecloth, where they laterally delimit the folded or folded region formed there on a table top.

Eine solche zweite Schwächungslinie kann mit einer ersten Schwächungslinie fluchten, sie kann aber auch mit der zu ihr benachbarten ersten Schwächungslinie einen Winkel ungleich 90 Grad einschließen. Die Größe des Winkels hängt davon ab, wie groß der Eckwinkel einer Tischplatte ist und ob die von der Tischplatte seitlich heruntergebogenen Randbereiche der Tischdecke zu dem auf der Tischplatte plan aufliegenden Bereich der Tischplatte einen Winkel von 90 Grad oder einen davon abweichenden Winkel aufweisen sollen. Bei einem solchen Winkel kleiner 90 Grad umschließen die freien Ränder der Randbereiche der Tischdecke einen Innenraum, der grundrissmäßig kleiner ist als die Grundrissgröße der Tischplatte. Eine solche sich nach unten hin verjüngende Tischdecken-Kappe verhindert noch wirkungsvoller, als es bei einer sich nicht verjüngenden Kappe der Fall ist, dass die auf einem entsprechenden Tisch aufliegende Tischdecke durch beispielsweise eine Windböe vom Tisch hochgehoben und weggeblasen werden kann.Such a second weakening line may be aligned with a first weakening line, but it may also include an angle not equal to 90 degrees with the first weakening line adjacent to it. The size of the angle depends on how large the corner angle of a table top and whether the side of the table top bent down edge portions of the table cover to the plane lying on the table top portion of the table top should have an angle of 90 degrees or a different angle. At such an angle At less than 90 degrees, the free edges of the edge areas of the tablecloth enclose an interior that is smaller in plan than the floor plan size of the table top. Such a downwardly tapered tablecloth cap prevents even more effective than it is the case with a non-tapered cap that the resting on a corresponding table tablecloth can be lifted by example, a gust of wind from the table and blown away.

Ein bei der erfindungsgemäßen Tischdecke in ihrem Eckbereich vorgesehener Faltenbereich lässt sich auch leicht dadurch herstellen, dass eine dritte Art von Schwächungslinien in dem entsprechenden Faltenbereich vorgesehen wird. Die Faltung wie insbesondere eine Innenfalte lässt sich dann leicht und schnell vollständig durch einen Faltvorgang herstellen, was insbesondere dadurch sehr einfach und darüber hinaus präzise zu bewerkstelligen ist, weil alle benötigten Falten durch die vorhandenen Schwächungslinien bereits vorgegeben sind.A fold area provided in the corner area of the table cloth according to the invention can also be easily produced by providing a third type of weakening lines in the corresponding fold area. The folding, in particular an inner fold, can then be easily and quickly produced completely by a folding process, which is particularly easy and, moreover, to accomplish precisely because all the required folds are already predetermined by the existing weakening lines.

Die ersten und zweiten Schwächungslinien sind zumindest abschnittsweise als Rill-Linien und /oder als Perforationslinien vorgesehen; die dritten Schwächungslinien können darüber hinaus auch als Schnittlinien vorhanden sein.The first and second weakening lines are provided at least in sections as creasing lines and / or as perforation lines; the third weakening lines may also be present as cut lines.

Als Material kann für die Tischdecke Papier oder ein papierhaltiges Material, insbesondere ein solches mit einem hohen Zellulose-Anteil, verwendet werden. Dabei hat sich in erfinderischer Weise herausgestellt, dass sich grundsätzlich zur Herstellung einer Einmal-Tischdecke und damit auch der erfindungsgemäßen Tischdecke insbesondere ein solches papierhaltiges Material eignet, wie es zur Herstellung von Schuh-Zwischensohlen bekannt ist. Dieses Papier-Material ist für den vorgesehenen Verwendungszweck ausreichend abwaschbar und wasserbeständig. Es sieht gut aus, ist ausreichend reißfest, es lässt sich insbesondere umweltfreundlich entsorgen und ist dabei insgesamt relativ preiswert.The material used for the tablecloth is paper or a paper-containing material, in particular one with a high cellulose content. In this case, it has been found in an inventive manner that in principle for the production of a disposable tablecloth and thus also the tablecloth according to the invention, in particular, such a paper-containing material is suitable, as it is known for the production of shoe midsoles. This paper material is sufficiently washable and water resistant for the intended use. It looks good, is sufficiently tear-resistant, it can be disposed of in particular environmentally friendly and is overall relatively inexpensive.

Die Tischdecke kann einzeln oder zu mehreren aufgerollt leicht und raumsparend transportiert werden. Die auf einer Rolle aufgerollten mehreren Tischdecken können über Schwächungslinien, wie insbesondere Perforationslinien, einteilig miteinander verbunden sein.The tablecloth can be transported individually or rolled up several times to save space and space. Rolled on a roll several tablecloths can be integrally connected to each other via lines of weakness, in particular perforation lines.

Weitere Vorteile und Merkmale der Erfindung sind den in den Ansprüchen ferner angegebenen Merkmalen sowie den nachstehenden Ausführungsbeispielen zu entnehmen.Further advantages and features of the invention can be found in the claims further specified features and the following embodiments.

WEGE ZUM AUSFÜHREN DER ERFINDUNGWAYS FOR CARRYING OUT THE INVENTION

Ein in Fig. 1 lediglich mit seinen Füßen 12 dargestellter Tisch 10 besitzt eine im Grundriss rechteckförmige - gestrichelt angedeutete - Tischplatte 14. Auf der Tischplatte 14 liegt von oben eine Tischdecke 16 auf. Mit Randbereichen 18, 20 überlappt die Tischdecke 16 die Tischplatte 14, so dass sie mit diesen Randbereichen 18, 20 die seitlichen Außenflächen 22 der Tischplatte 14 (Fig. 7) von außen bedecken. Die Tischdecke 14 sitzt wie eine Art Kappe von oben auf der Tischplatte 14 auf. Die Herstellung dieser Kappenform wird nachstehend noch näher beschrieben.An in Fig. 1 only with his feet 12 illustrated table 10 has a rectangular in plan - dashed lines indicated - table top 14. On the table top 14 is from above a tablecloth 16 on. With edge regions 18, 20, the table cloth 16 overlaps the table top 14, so that with these edge regions 18, 20 the lateral outer surfaces 22 of the table top 14 (FIG. Fig. 7 ) from the outside. The tablecloth 14 sits like a cap from above on the table top 14. The preparation of this cap shape will be described in more detail below.

Die in Fig. 2 dargestellte Tischdecke 16.2 unterscheidet sich von der Tischdecke 16 dahingehend, dass sie kappen-förmig auf einer im Grundriss entsprechend sechseckförmigen Tischplatte 14.2 eines Tisches 10.2 sitzt. Sowohl bei der Tischdecke 16 als auch bei der Tischdecke 16.2 stehen die Randbereiche 18,20 beziehungsweise 18.2 senkrecht (Winkel 26) auf dem von ihnen eingeschlossenen, inneren Deckenbereich 24 beziehungsweise 24.2 der beiden Tischdecken 16 beziehungsweise 16.2.In the Fig. 2 shown tablecloth 16.2 differs from the tablecloth 16 in that it sits in a cap-shaped on a floor plan in accordance hexagonal table top 14.2 of a table 10.2. Both in the tablecloth 16 and the table cloth 16.2 are the edge regions 18,20 and 18.2 perpendicular (angle 26) on the enclosed by them, inner ceiling area 24 and 24.2 of the two table cloths 16 and 16.2.

Die in Fig. 3 dargestellte Tischdecke 16.3 entspricht der in Fig. 1 dargestellten Tischdecke 16, mit dem Unterschied, dass ihre Randbereiche 18.3, 20.3 einen Winkel 26.3 miteinander einschließen, der etwas kleiner als 90 Grad ist.In the Fig. 3 illustrated tablecloth 16.3 corresponds to in Fig. 1 shown tablecloth 16, with the difference that their edge areas 18.3, 20.3 include an angle 26.3 with each other, which is slightly smaller than 90 degrees.

Die in Fig. 4 dargestellte Tischdecke 16.4 unterscheidet sich von der Tischdecke 16.2 ebenfalls darin, dass ihre Randbereiche 18.4 einen Winkel 26.3 mit dem inneren Bereich 24.2 der Tischdecke 16.4 einschließen, der ebenfalls kleiner als 90 Grad groß ist.In the Fig. 4 shown tablecloth 16.4 differs from the tablecloth 16.2 also in that their edge areas 18.4 include an angle 26.3 with the inner region 24.2 of the tablecloth 16.4, which is also smaller than 90 degrees.

In Fig. 5 ist die in Fig. 1 dargestellte Tischdecke 16 in ihrer flächigen Gestalt dargestellt. Ihr innerer Bereich 24 wird von zwei parallelen, einen gegenseitigen Abstand 28 aufweisenden Schwächungslinien 30 in der Längsrichtung und durch zwei weitere parallel zueinander ausgerichtete, einen Abstand 34 aufweisende Schwächungslinien 36 eingerahmt. Die vier Schwächungslinien 30, 36 umrahmen den inneren Deckenbereich 24, der in Form und Größe der Grundfläche der Tischplatte 14 entspricht.In Fig. 5 is the in Fig. 1 illustrated table cloth 16 shown in its planar shape. Its inner region 24 is framed by two parallel, a mutual distance 28 having weakening lines 30 in the longitudinal direction and by two more parallel aligned, a distance 34 having weakening lines 36. The four lines of weakness 30, 36 frame the inner ceiling area 24, which corresponds in shape and size of the base of the table top 14.

Die vier Eckbereiche 40 der Tischdecke 16 werden durch jeweils eine Schwächungslinie 36.1 und eine Schwächungslinie 30.1 von den Randbereichen 20 beziehungsweise 18 abgetrennt. Im vorliegenden Beispielsfall, bei dem die Höhe beziehungsweise Breite 42 der Randbereiche 18, 20 identisch ist, ergibt sich für die Eckbereiche 40 die Grundfläche eines Quadrats.The four corner regions 40 of the tablecloth 16 are separated from the edge regions 20 and 18 by a respective weakening line 36. 1 and a weakening line 30. In the present example case, in which the height or width 42 of the edge regions 18, 20 is identical, the base area of a square results for the corner regions 40.

Jeder Eckbereich 40 wird im vorliegenden Beispielsfall durch eine weitere Schwächungslinie 44 diagonal durchtrennt, wobei die Schwächungslinie 44 zwischen dem äußeren Eckpunkt 46 und dem Schnittpunkt 48, in dem die beiden Schwächungslinien 30.1 und 36.1 sich schneiden, verläuft.Each corner region 40 is severed diagonally in the present example by a further weakening line 44, wherein the line of weakness 44 between the outer corner point 46 and the intersection point 48 in which the two lines of weakness 30.1 and 36.1 intersect, runs.

Die in Fig. 5 dargestellte.Tischdecke 16 kann über Perforationslinien 49, die vorzugsweise parallel zu ihrer Schmalseite verlaufen, zu mehreren einstückig aneinanderhängend aufgerollt vorhanden sein. Es kann dann die jeweilige Tischdecke 16 von der Rolle längs einer Perforationslinie 49 abgerissen werden, so dass dann die in Fig. 5 durchgezogen gezeichnete Tischdecke 16 vorhanden ist.In the Fig. 5 shown. Table cover 16 may be about a perforated lines 49, which are preferably parallel to its narrow side, to be rolled up several to one another in one piece. It can then be torn off the respective table cloth 16 from the roll along a perforation line 49, so that then the in Fig. 5 solid lined tablecloth 16 is present.

Die Tischdecke 16 wird mit ihrem inneren Bereich 24 auf die Tischplatte 14 des Tisches 10 gelegt. Längs der beiden Schwächungslinien 30 werden die beiden einander gegenüberliegenden Randbereiche 20 von dem inneren Deckenbereich 24 nach unten geklappt. In gleicher Weise werden längs der senkrecht auf den Schwächungslinien 30 stehenden anderen Schwächungslinien 36 die einander gegenüberliegenden Randbereiche 18 heruntergeklappt.The tablecloth 16 is placed with its inner portion 24 on the table top 14 of the table 10. Along the two weakening lines 30, the two opposite edge regions 20 are folded downwards from the inner ceiling region 24. In the same way, the mutually opposite edge regions 18 are folded down along the other weakening lines 36 which are perpendicular to the lines of weakness 30.

Anschließend wird der Eckbereich 40 zu einem Innenfaltenbereich 50 gefaltet (Fig. 6), indem die Schwächungslinie 44 nach innen gedrückt und so im Bereich der Schwächungslinie 44 eine Innenfalte hergestellt wird. Die beiden den Eckbereich 40 jeweils begrenzenden Schwächungslinien 30.1, 36.1 bilden jeweils die Kante einer Außenfalte. Dieser Zustand ist in Fig. 6 dargestellt.Subsequently, the corner region 40 is folded to form an inner fold region 50 (FIG. Fig. 6 ), by the weakening line 44 is pressed inwards and so in the region of the weakening line 44, an inner fold is made. The two respective lines of weakness 40.1, 36.1 defining the corner region 40 each form the edge of an outer fold. This condition is in Fig. 6 shown.

Anschließend wird der Innenfaltenbereich 50 flachgedrückt, und zwar zumindest im Bereich der beiden Schwächungslinien 30.1, 36.1. Dieser Zustand ist in Fig. 7 dargestellt. Die beiden Randbereiche 18, 20 stoßen dann im Bereich der Schwächungslinien 30.1, 36.1 dicht aneinander. In diesem Zustand können die beiden durch die Schwächungslinien 44 getrennten Teilbereiche 52, 54 aneinander befestigt werden, und zwar zumindest so, dass die beiden Schwächungslinien 30.1, 36.1 parallel und eng aneinanderliegen. Diese Verbindung kann durch eine Tacker-Verbindung 56 (Fig. 11) oder auch durch eine Klebeverbindung 58 oder auf andere Weise erfolgen. Die Klebeverbindung kann beispielsweise mit Hilfe eines doppelseitig klebenden Klebebandes bewirkt werden, das bei der Darstellung gemäß Fig. 6 auf dem einen 54 der beiden Teilbereiche 52, 54 bereits vorkonfektioniert vorhanden ist.Subsequently, the inner fold region 50 is flattened, at least in the region of the two weakening lines 30.1, 36.1. This condition is in Fig. 7 shown. The two edge regions 18, 20 then abut against each other in the region of the weakening lines 30.1, 36.1. In this state, the two divided by the lines of weakness 44 portions 52, 54 are secured together, at least so that the two lines of weakness 30.1, 36.1 parallel and close to each other. This connection may be terminated by a tacker connection 56 (FIG. Fig. 11 ) or by an adhesive bond 58 or otherwise. The adhesive bond can be effected for example by means of a double-sided adhesive tape, which in the illustration according to Fig. 6 on the one 54 of the two sections 52, 54 already pre-assembled exists.

Die so geschaffene kappenförmige Tischdecke 16 wird dann von oben über die Tischplatte 14 des bereitstehenden Tisches 10 gestülpt (Fig. 1, 7).The thus created cap-shaped tablecloth 16 is then slipped over the top of the table 14 of the standing table 10 ( Fig. 1 . 7 ).

In gleicher Weise kann auch die in Fig. 2 dargestellte Tischdecke 16.2 hergestellt und auf den Tisch 10.2 gelegt werden. Statt der vier Ecken des Tischtuches 16 sind bei dem Tischtuch 16.2 sechs Ecken vorhanden.In the same way, the in Fig. 2 shown table cloth 16.2 made and placed on the table 10.2. Instead of the four corners of the table cloth 16 16.2 six corners are present in the tablecloth.

In Fig. 8 ist eine Ecke der Tischdecke 16.2 (Fig. 2) dargestellt. Aufgrund der sechseckigen Form des inneren Deckenbereichs 24.2 schließen die den inneren Deckenbereich 24.2 einrahmenden, wegen der regelmäßigen Sechseckform des inneren Deckenbereichs 24.2 gleich langen Schwächungslinien 30.2 und 36.2 einen Winkel 60 von 60 Grad jeweils miteinander ein. An dem Schnittpunkt 48.2 der beiden Schwächungslinien 30.2, 36.2 schließen die die beiden Randbereiche 18.2 abgrenzenden Schwächungslinien 30.8 und 36.8 an. Zwischen diesen beiden Schwächungslinien 30.8, 36.8, die wiederum einen der sechs Eckbereiche 40.2 von den Randbereichen 18.2 abtrennen, liegt die diagonale Schwächungslinie 44.2.In Fig. 8 is a corner of the tablecloth 16.2 ( Fig. 2 ). Due to the hexagonal shape of the inner ceiling area 24.2 close the inner Ceiling area 24.2 framing, due to the regular hexagonal shape of the inner ceiling area 24.2 equally long lines of weakness 30.2 and 36.2 an angle 60 of 60 degrees each with each other. At the point of intersection 48.2 of the two lines of weakness 30.2, 36.2, the lines of weakness 30.8 and 36.8 bordering the two edge regions 18.2 are included. Between these two lines of weakness 30.8, 36.8, which in turn separate one of the six corner regions 40.2 from the edge regions 18.2, lies the diagonal weakening line 44.2.

Das Herstellen der kappenförmigen Form der Tischdecke 16.2 erfolgt in zu der Tischdecke 16 vergleichbarer Form. Im Eckbereich 40.2 wird ein Innenfaltenbereich hergestellt, indem im Bereich der mittigen Schwächungslinie 44.2 eine Innenfalte und im Bereich der beiden Schwächungslinien 30.8 und 36.8 eine Außenfalte hergestellt wird. Die Faltung entspricht dann prinzipiell der Darstellung von Fig. 6. Anschließend werden die beiden Teilbereiche 52.2 und 54.2 des Eckbereichs 40.2 aneinander befestigt, so wie es beim Innenfaltenbereich 50 bereits beschrieben ist.The manufacture of the cap-shaped shape of the tablecloth 16.2 takes place in comparable to the tablecloth 16 form. In the corner region 40.2, an inner fold region is produced by forming an inner fold in the region of the central weakening line 44.2 and an outer fold in the region of the two weakening lines 30.8 and 36.8. The folding then corresponds in principle to the representation of Fig. 6 , Subsequently, the two subregions 52.2 and 54.2 of the corner region 40.2 are fastened to one another, as already described in the inner fold region 50.

Die in Fig. 9 ausschnittsweise dargestellte Tischdecke 16.3 entspricht der Tischdecke 16 mit dem Unterschied, dass jeder ihrer vier Eckbereiche 40.3 größer ist als ein vergleichbarer Eckbereich 40 der Tischdecke 16. Diese Vergrößerung wird dadurch erzeugt, dass die den Eckbereich 40.3 abgrenzenden beiden Schwächungslinien 36.3 und 30.3, die sich im Schnittpunkt 48 treffen, nicht mit der Schwächungslinie 36 beziehungsweise 30 fluchten, sondern mit ihnen jeweils einen Winkel 66 einschließen, der kleiner als 90 Grad groß ist.In the Fig. 9 Tablecloth 16.3 shown in detail corresponds to the tablecloth 16, with the difference that each of its four corner areas 40.3 is larger than a comparable corner area 40 of the tablecloth 16. This enlargement is produced by the two lines of weakness 36.3 and 30.3 delimiting the corner area 40.3 Intersect point 48, not aligned with the line of weakness 36 or 30, but with each include an angle 66 which is smaller than 90 degrees.

Beim Zusammenfalten zur Kappenform und Aneinanderbefestigen ihrer beiden Teilbereiche 52.3, 54.3 schließen ihre Randbereiche 18.3, 20.3 einen Winkel 26.3 von weniger als 90 Grad mit dem inneren Bereich 24 ein (Fig. 3, 11). Der äußere Eckpunkt 46 der Tischdecke 16.3 liegt nicht senkrecht unterhalb des Schnittpunkts 48, so wie dies bei der Tischdecke 16 (Fig. 1) der Fall ist, sondernliegt innerhalb des von dem inneren Bereich 24 umschlossenen Lichtraumes. Die Kappenform der Tischdecke 16.3 verjüngt sich damit nach unten hin.When folding into the cap shape and fastening the two parts 52.3, 54.3 together, their edge regions 18.3, 20.3 enclose an angle 26.3 of less than 90 degrees with the inner region 24 ( Fig. 3 . 11 ). The outer corner 46 of the tablecloth 16.3 is not perpendicular below the point of intersection 48, as with the tablecloth 16 (FIG. Fig. 1 ) is the case, but lies within the space enclosed by the inner region 24 light space. The cap shape of the tablecloth 16.3 tapers downwards.

Bei der in Fig. 10 dargestellten Tischdecke 16.4 ist ebenfalls die vorstehend erwähnte Verjüngung ihrer Kappenform im auf dem Tisch 10.2 aufliegenden Zustand vorhanden. Dies ist wiederum durch die seitliche Vergrößerung der beiden Teilbereiche 52.4 und 54.4 geschehen, so wie das bei dem Eckbereich 40.3 (Fig. 9) in vergleichbarer Weise der Fall ist. Die den Eckbereich 40.4 jeweils gegen die seitlichen Randbereiche 18.4 begrenzenden Schwächungslinien 30.4 und 36.4 schließen mit den den Innenbereich 24.2 begrenzenden Schwächungslinien 30.4, 36.4 jeweils einen Winkel 70 kleiner als 90 Grad ein.At the in Fig. 10 shown table cloth 16.4 is also the aforementioned taper of their cap shape in the resting on the table 10.2 state available. This is in turn due to the lateral enlargement of the both sub-areas 52.4 and 54.4 happen, as well as the corner area 40.3 ( Fig. 9 ) is the case in a comparable way. The weakening lines 30.4 and 36.4 delimiting the corner region 40.4, in each case against the lateral edge regions 18.4, in each case enclose an angle 70 smaller than 90 degrees with the weakening lines 30.4, 36.4 delimiting the inner region 24.2.

Die in Fig. 12 und 13 ausschnittsweise dargestellte Tischdecke 16.5 entspricht der in Fig. 5 dargestellten Tischdecke 16 mit dem Unterschied, dass in ihrem einen Eckbereich 40.5 - und Vergleichbares gilt für ihre übrigen drei Eckbereiche - statt der diagonalen Schwächungslinie 44 eine Schnittlinie 44.5 vorhanden ist. Das bedeutet, dass die Tischdecke im Bereich dieser als Schnittlinie ausgebildeten Schwächungslinie diagonal aufgeschnitten ist. Beim Auflegen der erfindungsgemäßen Tischdecke 16.5 auf einen Tisch wie insbesondere einen Biertisch oder auch auf eine Bierbank muss aufgrund der vorhandenen Schnittlinie 44.5 das Umfalten längs der diesen Eckbereich begrenzenden Schwächungslinien 30.1 und 36.1 nicht so exakt erfolgen, wie es bei nicht aufgeschnittenem Eckbereich der Fall ist. Die an die Schnittlinie 44.5 beidseitig sich jeweils anschließenden beiden rechtwinkligen Dreiecksflächen, für die die Schnittlinie 44.5 jeweils die Hypotenuse darstellt, können sich im Bereich der gemeinsamen Schnittlinie 44.5 mehr oder weniger überlappen; im vorliegenden Beispielsfall (Fig. 13) ist im aufgelegten Zustand der Tischdecke 16.5 auf einem Tisch oder einer Bank im Bereich der Schnittlinie 44.5 ein Spalt vorhanden. Selbstverständlich ist es nach wie vor möglich, die vorstehend genannten Dreiecksbereiche aneinander zu befestigen, so wie das bei den vorstehenden Tischdecken bereits beschrieben ist.In the Fig. 12 and 13 Tablecloth 16.5 shown in detail corresponds to in Fig. 5 shown table cloth 16 with the difference that in its one corner area 40.5 - and the same applies to its other three corner areas - instead of the diagonal line of weakness 44, a cutting line 44.5 is present. This means that the tablecloth is cut diagonally in the area of this weakening line designed as a cut line. When placing the tablecloth 16.5 according to the invention on a table such as in particular a beer table or on a beer bench folding due to the existing cut line 44.5 along this corner region delimiting lines of weakness 30.1 and 36.1 does not take place as accurately as it is the case with not cut corner. The two right-angled triangular faces adjoining on the section line 44.5 on both sides, for which the section line 44.5 respectively represents the hypotenuse, can more or less overlap in the region of the common cutting line 44.5; in the present example case ( Fig. 13 ) is in the launched condition of the tablecloth 16.5 on a table or bench in the area of the section line 44.5 a gap exists. Of course, it is still possible to attach the above triangular areas together, as already described in the above tablecloths.

In den in den Fig. 5, 8, 9,10 und 12 dargestellten Zuständen werden die entsprechenden Tischdecken aufgerollt vertrieben. Erst beim Endkunden werden die Tischdecken in ihre vorstehend beschriebene Kappenform gebracht.In the in the Fig. 5 . 8, 9, 10 and 12 States shown, the corresponding tablecloths are rolled rolled up. Only at the end customer the tablecloths are brought into their above-described cap shape.

Die erfindungsgemäßen Tischdecken beinhalten durch ihre relativ steife, kappenförmige Gestalt eine optisch ansprechende, schnell zu montierende Tischdecke, wie sie für Biertischkombinationen und vergleichbaren Tischen als Einmal-Tischdecke im Eventbereich optimal verwendet werden kann. Die Verwendung von papierhaltigem Material ermöglicht ein problemloses Recyceln solcher Tischdecken.The tablecloths according to the invention, by virtue of their relatively stiff, cap-shaped form, provide a visually appealing, quickly mounted tablecloth, as can be used optimally for beer table combinations and comparable tables as disposable tablecloths in the event sector. The use of paper-based material allows easy recycling of such tablecloths.
