Description

Die Erfindung betrifft eine Vorrichtung mit einem Griff oder einem Griffbereich, welcher eine Ausstattung zur Aufnahme von Handschweiß aufweist. Weiterhin betrifft die Erfindung eine Verwendung zur Bereitstellung einer schweißabsorbierenden Oberfläche eines Griffs oder eines Griffbereichs einer solchen Vorrichtung. Es ist bekannt, einen Billardstock zur Verbesserung der Griffigkeit im Griffbereich mit einer Ausstattung zur Aufnahme von Handschweiß zu versehen. Diese kann beispielsweise aus einer Leinenwicklung bestehen. Es hat sich jedoch gezeigt, dass dadurch Handschweiß nur verzögert aufgenommen wird und die Leinenwicklung sich nach einiger Aufnahme von Handschweiß feucht anfühlt.The invention relates to a device with a handle or a handle portion, which has an equipment for receiving sweat. Furthermore, the invention relates to a use for providing a sweat-absorbing surface of a handle or a grip portion of such a device. It is known to provide a billiard stick to improve grip in the grip area with equipment for absorbing hand sweat. This can for example consist of a linen wrap. However, it has been shown that this hand sweat is absorbed only delayed and the line winding feels wet after some absorption of hand sweat.

Aus der WO 94/19993 ist eine, insbesondere zur Polsterung von Sitzen geeignete, Kunststoffschaumstruktur bekannt, welche an ihrer Oberfläche beflockt ist und zwischen der Oberfläche und dem Kunststoffschaum eine Zwischenschicht aufweist. Die Schaumstruktur kann auch für Sportartikel geeignet sein.From the WO 94/19993 is a, in particular for upholstering of seats suitable, known plastic foam structure which is flocked on its surface and has an intermediate layer between the surface and the plastic foam. The foam structure may also be suitable for sports articles.

EP0070268A2 offenbart einen Handgriff für Sportgeräte, welcher eine gute Belüftung der Haut erreichen möchte. Aufgabe der vorliegenden Erfindung ist es, eine Vorrichtung mit einem Griff oder Griffbereich, welcher eine Ausstattung zur Aufnahme von Handschweiß aufweist, bereitzustellen, welche eine schnelle Aufnahme des Handschweißes bewirkt und gleichzeitig eine verhältnismäßig große Menge an Handschweiß aufnehmen kann, ohne sich feucht anzufühlen. Weiterhin soll eine Verwendung zur Bereitstellung einer schweißabsorbierenden Oberfläche eines Griffs oder Griffbereichs einer solchen Vorrichtung angegeben werden. EP0070268A2 discloses a handle for sports equipment, which wants to achieve good ventilation of the skin. The object of the present invention is to provide a device with a handle or grip area, which has a device for receiving perspiration, which causes a rapid absorption of the hand perspiration and at the same time can absorb a relatively large amount of perspiration without feeling wet. Furthermore, a use for providing a sweat-absorbing surface of a handle or handle portion of such a device is to be specified.

Die Aufgabe wird durch die Merkmale der Patentansprüche 1 und 8 gelöst. Zweckmäßige Ausgestaltungen ergeben sich aus den Merkmalen der Patentansprüche 2 bis 7.The object is solved by the features of claims 1 and 8. Advantageous embodiments result from the features of claims 2 to 7.

Erfindungsgemäß ist eine Vorrichtung mit einem Griff oder Griffbereich, welcher eine Ausstattung zur Aufnahme von Handschweiß aufweist, vorgesehen. Die Ausstattung umfasst dabei eine mit Flock beschichtete Oberfläche des Griffs oder Griffbereichs. Als Flock werden hier Fasern mit einer Länge von etwa 0,1 bis 5 mm bezeichnet. Die Fasern können beispielsweise aus Baumwolle, Polyamid oder Viskose hergestellt sein. Zum Beschichten einer Oberfläche mit Flock wird diese im Allgemeinen zunächst mit einer Klebstoffschicht beschichtet. Auf den noch nicht abgebundenen Klebstoff werden die Fasern dann elektrostatisch, gegebenenfalls mit Unterstützung von Druckluft, appliziert. Durch elektrostatische Ladung wird sichergestellt, dass die Fasern senkrecht im Klebstoff stecken und so die typische, samtartige bis borstige Haptik einer beflockten Oberfläche bewirken.According to the invention, a device is provided with a handle or grip area, which has equipment for receiving perspiration. The equipment includes a flock-coated surface of the handle or grip area. As a flock fibers are here designated with a length of about 0.1 to 5 mm. The fibers may be made of cotton, polyamide or viscose, for example. For coating a surface with flock, it is generally first coated with an adhesive layer. The fibers are then electrostatically applied to the not yet set adhesive, if necessary with the aid of compressed air. Electrostatic charge ensures that the fibers are stuck vertically in the adhesive, creating the typical velvety to bristle haptics of a flocked surface.

Im Hinblick auf die Aufnahme von Handschweiß weisen die abstehenden Fasern den Vorteil auf, dass sie in kleine Unebenheiten der Haut vordringen und dort den Handschweiß in der Nähe seiner Entstehung aufnehmen und ableiten können. Die Fasern können den Schweiß bis zur Klebstoffschicht leiten. Der Schweiß kann sich dort verteilen. Durch das Abstehen der Fasern wird ein direkter Kontakt zwischen der Haut und dem abgeleiteten Schweiß vermieden, so dass sich die beflockte Oberfläche im Gegensatz zu einer textilen Oberfläche für eine relative lange Zeit nicht feucht anfühlt. Insbesondere bei einem Griff oder Griffbereich für eine exakt zu führende Vorrichtung oder eine Vorrichtung, die verhältnismäßig lange in der Hand gehalten wird, ist dies für eine angenehme Handhabung der Vorrichtung von entscheidender Bedeutung.With regard to the absorption of hand perspiration, the protruding fibers have the advantage that they can penetrate into small bumps of the skin where they can absorb and dissipate hand sweat in the vicinity of its formation. The fibers can guide the sweat to the adhesive layer. The sweat can spread there. The sticking out of the fibers avoids direct contact between the skin and the derived perspiration, so that the flocked surface does not feel moist, as opposed to a textile surface, for a relatively long time. In particular, in the case of a handle or gripping region for a device which can be guided precisely or a device which is held in the hand for a relatively long time, this is of crucial importance for a pleasant handling of the device.

Die Oberfläche und insbesondere der gesamte Griff oder Griffbereich oder sogar die gesamte Vorrichtung kann aus einem massiven Material bestehen. Unter einem massiven Material ist insbesondere kein geschäumter Kunststoff zu verstehen, wie er aus der WO 94/19993 bekannt ist. Das Material ist im Allgemeinen starr. Es kann sich dabei beispielsweise um ein Holz, einen Kunststoff, insbesondere ein Thermoplast, ein Duroplast, ein Elastomer oder ein thermoplastisches Elastomer, einen Faserverbundstoff, wie z. B. einen kohlenstofffaserverstärkten Kunststoff oder ein Metall handeln.The surface and in particular the entire handle or grip area or even the entire device may consist of a solid material. Under a solid material is in particular no foamed plastic to understand how he from the WO 94/19993 is known. The material is generally rigid. It may, for example, a wood, a plastic, in particular a thermoplastic, a thermosetting plastic, an elastomer or a thermoplastic elastomer, a fiber composite such. As a carbon fiber reinforced plastic or a metal act.

Um die sonstige Funktion oder Brauchbarkeit der erfindungsgemäßen Vorrichtung nicht negativ zu beeinflussen, kann ausschließlich der Griff oder Griffbereich der Vorrichtung mit Flock beschichtet sein.In order not to adversely affect the other function or usability of the device according to the invention, only the handle or grip region of the device may be coated with flock.

Die Oberfläche kann auch mindestens einen nicht mit Flock beschichteten Bereich aufweisen. Technisch ist dies beispielsweise durch ein Aushärten oder Wegbrennen des aufgebrachten Klebstoffs mittels Laserstrahlung vor oder nach der Applikation des Flocks möglich. Dadurch können sich in dem Griff oder Griffbereich beflockte und nicht-beflockte Bereiche der Oberfläche abwechseln und dadurch eine verbesserte Griffigkeit bewirken.The surface may also have at least one non-flock coated area. Technically, this is possible, for example, by hardening or burning away the applied adhesive by means of laser radiation before or after the application of the flock. This allows flocked and non-flocked areas of the surface to alternate in the handle or grip area, thereby providing improved grip.

Der Flock kann eine Gewichtsnummerierung von 0,5 bis 100 dtex, insbesondere 0,5 bis 60 dtex, insbesondere 1 bis 25 dtex, insbesondere 1,5 bis 10 dtex, aufweisen. Unter Gewichtsnummerierung wird die längenbezogene Masse einer Faser verstanden. Ein dtex entspricht dabei einem Gewicht von 1 g pro 10 000 m Faser. Je geringer dieser Wert ist, desto feiner ist die Faser und desto besser kann sie in Hautunebenheiten vordringen, desto geringer ist aber auch deren Festigkeit und damit ihre Fähigkeit, die aufgenommene Feuchtigkeit von der Haut fernzuhalten. Die genannten Gewichtsnummerierungsbereiche haben sich für die Aufnahme und Ableitung des Handschweißes als besonders günstig erwiesen.The flock may have a weight numbering of 0.5 to 100 dtex, in particular 0.5 to 60 dtex, in particular 1 to 25 dtex, in particular 1.5 to 10 dtex. Weight numbering is the length-related mass of a fiber. One dtex corresponds to a weight of 1 g per 10 000 m fiber. The lower this value, the finer the fiber and the better it can penetrate into skin irregularities, but the lower is its strength and thus its ability to keep the absorbed moisture away from the skin. The mentioned weight numbering ranges have proved to be particularly favorable for the absorption and discharge of the hand perspiration.

Bei einer Ausgestaltung der erfindungsgemäßen Vorrichtung weist der Flock eine Faserlänge von 0,1 bis 4,0 mm, insbesondere 0,5 bis 2 mm, insbesondere 0,8 bis 1,5 mm, auf. Je geringer die Faserlänge ist, desto besser kann die erfindungsgemäße Vorrichtung mit der Hand geführt werden, desto geringer ist jedoch auch die Schweißaufnahmekapazität und die Fähigkeit, Feuchtigkeit von der Haut fernzuhalten. Je nach Anwendungszweck können daher unterschiedliche Faserlängen vorteilhaft sein.In one embodiment of the device according to the invention, the flock has a fiber length of 0.1 to 4.0 mm, in particular 0.5 to 2 mm, in particular 0.8 to 1.5 mm. The smaller the fiber length, the better the device according to the invention can be guided by hand, but the lower the sweat absorption capacity and the ability to keep moisture away from the skin. Depending on the application, therefore, different fiber lengths may be advantageous.

Bei der Vorrichtung kann es sich insbesondere um einen Sportartikel handeln. Bei dem Sportartikel kann es sich z. B. um einen Wurfpfeil, einen sogenannten Dart, einen Billardstock, einen sogenannten Queue, einen Tennisschläger, einen Tischtennisschläger, einen Golfschläger, einen Badmintonschläger oder einen sonstigen Schläger handeln. Bei derartigen Sportartikeln war es bisher zur Schweißabsorption üblich, eine auf ihrer Unterseite mit Klebstoff versehene Wicklung aus einem textilen Material, insbesondere Leinen, vorzusehen. Das Herstellen dieser Wicklung an dem Sportartikel ist verhältnismäßig aufwändig und bei kleinen Sportartikeln wie Wurfpfeilen kaum realisierbar. Die Beflockung des Griffs oder Griffbereichs ist kostengünstiger zu bewerkstelligen als die genannte Umwicklung. Darüber hinaus bewirkt der Klebstoff auf der Unterseite des textilen Materials, dass aufgenommene Feuchtigkeit nicht abwandern kann, so dass sich die Wicklung sehr schnell feucht anfühlt.The device may in particular be a sporting article. In the sporting goods, it may, for. B. a dart, a so-called darts, act a billiard stick, a so-called cue, a tennis racket, a table tennis racket, a golf club, a badminton racket or any other racket. In sports articles of this kind, it has hitherto been customary for perspiration absorption to provide a winding of a textile material, in particular linen, provided with adhesive on its underside. The production of this winding on the sporting goods is relatively expensive and hardly feasible with small sporting goods such as darts. The flocking of the handle or grip area is cheaper to accomplish than the said wrapping. In addition, the adhesive on the underside of the textile material, the absorbed moisture can not migrate, so that the winding feels very quickly wet.

Weiterhin betrifft die Erfindung die Verwendung von Flock und einem Klebstoff zur Bereitstellung einer schweißabsorbierenden Oberfläche eines Griffs oder Griffbereichs einer erfindungsgemäßen Vorrichtung.Furthermore, the invention relates to the use of flock and an adhesive for providing a sweat-absorbing surface of a handle or grip region of a device according to the invention.

Nachfolgend wird die Erfindung anhand eines Ausführungsbeispiels näher erläutert.The invention will be explained in more detail with reference to an embodiment.

Ein erfindungsgemäßer Billardstock aus Holz ist in seinem Griffbereich mit Flock aus Polyamid beschichtet. Die Faserlänge des Flocks beträgt 1 mm. Zur Simulation der Aufnahme von Handschweiß wird dieser Billardstock hinsichtlich seines Aufnahmeverhaltens gegenüber einer definierten Wassermenge untersucht. Weiterhin wird dessen Haptik nach 20 Minuten Spielzeit ohne zwischenzeitliche Trocknung einer Griffführungshand untersucht. Beide Untersuchungen werden zum Vergleich auch mit Billardstöcken der folgenden gebräuchlichen Oberflächenausprägungen des Griffbereichs durchgeführt:

1.
Holz
2.
Wicklung aus Nylon
3.
Wicklung aus Leinen
4.
Mit sogenannter Nano-Technologie erstellte Kohlenstofifbeschichtung
A wooden billiard stick according to the invention is coated in its grip area with polyamide flock. The fiber length of the flock is 1 mm. To simulate the absorption of perspiration, this billiard stick is examined with regard to its absorption behavior compared to a defined amount of water. Furthermore, its feel is examined after 20 minutes of playing time without intermediate drying of a grip finger. Both tests are carried out for comparison also with billiard sticks of the following common surface characteristics of the grip area:
1.
Wood
Second
Nylon winding
Third
Winding of linen
4th
Carbon coating created with so-called nano-technology

Das Auftragen von Wasser erfolgt bei einer Temperatur von 22 °C und einer Luftfeuchtigkeit von 45 %. Mittels einer Pipette werden jeweils 2 Tropfen destilliertes Wasser mit einem Gesamtgewicht von ca. 0,10 g jeweils auf derselben Stelle des Griffbereichs eines jeden der Billardstöcke aufgetragen. Die Billardstöcke werden dabei nicht bewegt. Die Zeit zwischen dem Auftragen und einer visuellen Nichtwahrnehmbarkeit des aufgetragenen Wassers auf der Oberfläche des Griffbereichs wird bis zu maximal 30 min erfasst. Die Ergebnisse sind in der nachfolgenden Tabelle 1 zusammengefasst. Tabelle 1 Oberfläche des Griffbereichs Zeit bis zur visuellen Nichtwahrnehmbarkeit des Wassertropfens auf der Oberfläche Holz >30 Minuten Wicklung aus Nylon >30 Minuten Wicklung aus Leinen 22 Minuten Kohlenstoffbeschichtung >30Minuten Beschichtung mit Flock 24 Sekunden The application of water takes place at a temperature of 22 ° C and a humidity of 45%. Using a pipette, apply 2 drops of distilled water with a total weight of approx. 0.10 g each on the same position of the grip area of each of the billiard cues. The billiard cues are not moved. The time between application and a visual unawareness of the applied water on the surface of the grip area is recorded up to a maximum of 30 minutes. The results are summarized in Table 1 below. Table 1 Surface of the grip area Time to visual non-perceptibility of the water drop on the surface Wood > 30 minutes Nylon winding > 30 minutes Winding of linen 22 minutes Carbon coating > 30 minutes Coating with flock 24 seconds

Wie aus der obigen Tabelle 1 zu ersehen ist, wird das Wasser von der beflockten Oberfläche deutlich schneller als von der textilbeschichteten Oberfläche aufgenommen. Die verhältnismäßig lange Zeit bis zum Einziehen des Wassers in die Wicklung aus Leinen ist vermutlich darauf zurückzuführen, dass das Leinen durch eine auf dessen Unterseite vorhandene Klebstoffschicht wasserabweisend und wenig saugfähig ist.As can be seen from Table 1 above, the water is taken up by the flocked surface much faster than by the textile-coated surface. The relatively long time until the water is drawn into the winding of linen is probably due to the fact that the linen is water-repellent and less absorbent by an existing adhesive layer on the underside.

Bei einem weiteren Versuch werden die bereits im ersten Versuch untersuchten Billardstöcke über einen Zeitraum von 105 Minuten bei einer Temperatur von 23 °C und 60 % Luftfeuchtigkeit jeweils 20 Minuten gleichmäßig intensiv in folgender Reihenfolge auf einem Poolbillardtisch bespielt:

  1. 1. Oberfläche des Griffbereichs aus Holz
  2. 2. Oberfläche des Griffbereichs aus Wicklung aus Nylon
  3. 3. Oberfläche des Griffbereichs aus Wicklung aus Leinen
  4. 4. Oberfläche des Griffbereichs aus mit sogenannter Nano-Technologie erstellter Kohlenstoffbeschichtung
  5. 5. Oberfläche des Griffbereichs mit Flock beschichtet
In a further experiment, the billiard sticks already tested in the first test are applied to a pool table for a period of 105 minutes at a temperature of 23 ° C. and 60% atmospheric humidity for 20 minutes in an evenly intensive manner in the following sequence:
  1. 1. Surface of the grip area made of wood
  2. 2. Surface of the grip area made of nylon winding
  3. 3. Surface of the grip area made of linen winding
  4. 4. Surface of the grip area made of so-called nano-technology carbon coating
  5. 5. Surface of the grip area coated with flock

Jeweils nach Beendigung der 20-minütigen Spielphase und vor Beginn der nächsten Spielphase wird der subjektive Eindruck schriftlich dokumentiert. Die Ergebnisse sind in der nachfolgenden Tabelle 2 zusammengefasst. Tabelle 2 Oberfläche des Griffbereichs subjektiver Eindruck Holz Oberfläche feucht, auch sichtbar, Hand leicht feucht Wicklung aus Nylon Oberfläche leicht feucht, nicht sichtbar, Hand leicht feucht Wicklung aus Leinen Kein Feuchtegefühl an der Oberfläche, nicht sichtbar, Hand leicht feucht Kohlenstoffbeschichtung Oberfläche leicht feucht, auch leicht sichtbar, Hand feucht Beschichtung mit Flock Oberfläche nicht feucht, keine Sichtbarkeit von Feuchtigkeit, Hand trocken After completion of the 20-minute game phase and before the start of the next game phase, the subjective impression is documented in writing. The results are summarized in Table 2 below. Table 2 Surface of the grip area subjective impression Wood Surface moist, also visible, hand slightly damp Nylon winding Surface slightly damp, not visible, hand slightly damp Winding of linen No feeling of moisture on the surface, not visible, hand slightly damp Carbon coating Surface slightly damp, also slightly visible, hand moist Coating with flock Surface not damp, no visibility of moisture, hand dry

Wie aus der obigen Tabelle 2 zu ersehen wird bei dem mit Flock beschichteten Griffbereich die Feuchtigkeit subjektiv am geringsten wahrgenommen.As can be seen from Table 2 above, in the flock-coated handle portion, the humidity is subjectively perceived least.
