Description

Verfahren zum Anlegen oder Ablegen eines Kleidungsstücks an den Träger oder vom Träger desselben oder zum Schließen, Anlegen, Öffnen oder Ablegen eines von einer Person getragenen  A method of putting on or taking off a garment to or from the wearer of the wearer or closing, donning, opening or removing a wearer worn by a person
Gepäckstücks  luggage
Die Erfindung betrifft ein Verfahren zum Anlegen oder Ablegen eines Kleidungsstücks an den Träger oder vom Träger desselben oder zum Schließen, Anlegen, Öffnen oder Ablegen eines von einer Person getragenen Gepäckstücks, wobei das Kleidungsstück oder das Gepäckstück aufweist: einen Drehverschluss zum Spannen des Kleidungsstücks am Träger oder Entspannen desselben vom Träger oder zum Schließen,The invention relates to a method of applying or depositing a garment to the wearer or the wearer thereof, or to closing, donning, opening or depositing a piece of luggage carried by a person, the garment or the garment comprising: a twist-lock for tensioning the garment on the wearer or relaxing it from the wearer or closing it,
Anlegen, Öffnen oder Ablegen des Gepäckstücks mittels mindestens eines Spannelements, wobei der Drehverschluss eine drehbar angeordnete Spannrolle zum Aufwickeln des Spannelements aufweist, wobei die Spannrolle mittels eines Elektro- motors angetrieben wird, ein Schaltelement, das mit einer Steuerung in Verbindung steht, wobei über das Schaltelement und die Steuerung der Elektromotor betätigt werden kann, wobei das Spannen des Kleidungsstücks am Träger oder Entspannen desselben vom Träger oder das Schließen, Anlegen, Öffnen oder Ablegen des Gepäckstücks erfolgt, indem der Benutzer des Kleidungsstücks oder des Gepäckstücks das Schaltelement, vorzugsweise mit einem Finger, betätigt. Applying, opening or depositing the item of luggage by means of at least one tensioning element, wherein the rotational closure has a rotatably arranged tensioning roller for winding the tensioning element, wherein the tensioning roller is driven by means of an electric motor, a switching element communicating with a controller, wherein the electric motor can be actuated via the switching element and the control, wherein the tensioning of the garment on the wearer or relaxing the same from the wearer or closing, applying, opening or dropping the baggage by the user of the garment or the luggage item actuates the switching element, preferably with a finger.
Des weiteren betrifft die Erfindung ein Kleidungs- oder Gepäckstück. Furthermore, the invention relates to a clothing or luggage.
Die genannten Drehverschlüsse sind bei Schuhen bekannt. Beispielsweise sei auf die DE 298 17 003 Ul verwiesen, die einen Schuh offenbart, der mit einem elektromotorisch betriebenen Drehverschlusses arbeitet. Hier wird eine Spannrolle zum Aufwickeln eines Spannelements elektromotorisch angetrieben, so dass der Schuh automatisch geschnürt und entschnürt werden kann. Zum Schnüren des Schuhs wird vom Benutzer ein elektrischer Schalter betätigt und der Elektromotor des Drehverschlusses solange aktiviert, wie der Schalter gedrückt wird. Entsprechend steigt die Schnürkraft allmählich an. Ist ein gewünschtes Schnürkraftniveau erreicht, lässt der Benutzer den Schalter wieder los. Zum Entschnüren des Schuhs kann entsprechend ein anderer Schalter betätigt werden. Demgemäß benötigt das Schnüren des Schuhs eine entsprechende Zeit, während der der Benutzer den Schalter drücken muss. Außerdem muss das jeweils gewünschte Schnürkraftniveau bei jeder Schnürung vom Benutzer eingestellt werden. Analoge Überlegungen gelten auch, wenn ein automatisierter Verschluss zum Einsatz kommen soll, der bei anderen Kleidungsstücken oder bei Gepäckstücken eingesetzt werden kann. Auch hier stellt sich mitunter die Aufgabe, das Kleidungsstück (beispielsweise in Form einer Mütze oder einer Jacke) oder das Gepäckstück (beispielsweise in Form eines Rucksacks) anzulegen und mit einem vorgegebenen Spannniveau am Körper des Trägers festzulegen. The aforementioned screw caps are known in shoes. For example, reference is made to DE 298 17 003 Ul, which discloses a shoe which operates with an electric motor operated rotary closure. Here, a tension roller for winding a tensioning element is driven by an electric motor, so that the shoe can be laced and untied automatically. To lace the shoe, an electrical switch is actuated by the user and the electric motor of the rotary closure is activated as long as the switch is pressed. Accordingly, the lacing gradually increases. When a desired lacing level is reached, the user releases the switch. To untie the shoe can be operated according to another switch. Accordingly, lacing the shoe requires a corresponding amount of time during which the user must press the switch. In addition, the desired Schnürkraftniveau must be set at each lacing by the user. Similar considerations apply if an automated closure is to be used which can be used on other garments or on luggage. Again, sometimes arises the task of the garment (for example in the form of a cap or jacket) or the luggage (for example in the form of a backpack) create and set with a predetermined clamping level on the body of the wearer.

Dies soll insbesondere in komfortabler und einfacher Weise bewerkstelligt werden können. Dabei soll es insbesondere möglich sein, bedienerfreundlich das Anlegen oder Ablegen des Kleidungsstücks bzw. das Schließen, Anlegen, Öffnen oder Ablegen des Gepäckstücks an individuelle Wünsche anpassen zu können. Damit soll ohne großen Bedienaufwand das Kleidungsstück bzw. das Gepäckstück gemäß den Wünschen des Benutzers mit einem definierten Spanniveau anlegbar sein. Weiterhin soll ein entsprechendes Kleidungs- bzw. Gepäckstück zur Verfügung gestellt werden. The invention has the object of developing a method of the type mentioned above so that in general the creation or removal of a garment to the wearer or the wearer of the same or closing, donning, opening or dropping a piece of luggage carried by a person can be simplified , This should be accomplished in particular in a comfortable and easy way. It should be possible in particular, user-friendly to be able to adapt the creation or removal of the garment or closing, creating, opening or dropping the baggage to individual needs. This should be able to be applied according to the wishes of the user with a defined clamping level without great effort the garment or luggage. Furthermore, a corresponding clothing or luggage should be provided.
Die L ö s u n g dieser Aufgabe durch die Erfindung ist dadurch gekennzeichnet, dass das Schaltelement eine Anzahl nebeneinander angeordneter berührungssensitiver Sensoren aufweist, die eine für den Benutzer des Kleidungsstücks oder des Gepäckstücks zugängliche Oberfläche bilden, wobei das Verfahren die Schritte umfasst: Überstreichen der Oberfläche der berührungssensitiven Sensoren durch den Benutzer, vorzugsweise mit dem Finger, in eine erste Richtung, The solution of this object by the invention is characterized in that the switching element comprises a number of juxtaposed touch-sensitive sensors forming a surface accessible to the user of the garment or the luggage, the method comprising the steps of: Sweeping the surface of the touch-sensitive sensors by the user, preferably with the finger, in a first direction,
Detektieren des Signals der berührungssensitiven Sensoren von der Steuerung und Veranlassung des Anlegens des Kleidungsstücks an den Träger desselben oder das Schließen oder Anlegen des getragenen Gepäckstücks mit einem ersten Spannkraftniveau oder einem ersten Schließweg des Spannelements durch die Steuerung und den Elektromotor. Detecting the signal from the touch-sensitive sensors from the controller and causing the garment to be applied to the wearer thereof; or closing or applying the carried garment with a first tension level or a first closing path of the tension member by the controller and the electric motor.
Das Verfahren kann weiterhin die Schritte umfassen: The method may further comprise the steps of:
Nochmaliges Überstreichen der Oberfläche der berührungssensitiven Sensoren durch den Benutzer, vorzugsweise mit dem Finger, in die erste Richtung, Repainting the surface of the touch-sensitive sensors by the user, preferably with the finger, in the first direction,
Detektieren des Signals der berührungssensitiven Sensoren von der Steuerung und Veranlassung des Anlegens des Kleidungsstücks an den Träger desselben oder das Schließen oder Anlegen des getragenen Gepäckstücks mit einem zweiten Spannkraftniveau oder einem zweiten Schließweg des Spannelements durch die Steuerung und den Elektromotor, wobei das zweite Spannkraftniveau höher ist als das erste Spannkraftniveau oder der zweite Schließweg größer ist als der erste Schließweg. Detecting the signal of the touch-sensitive sensors from the controller and causing the garment to be applied to the wearer thereof or closing or applying the carried garment with a second tension level or a second closing path of the tension member by the controller and the electric motor, the second tension level being higher as the first clamping force level or the second closing path is greater than the first closing path.
Somit kann ein zweites, höheres Spannkraftniveau in einfacher Weise angefahren werden. Dieses Prinzip lässt sich auch fortsetzen: Das Verfahren kann weiterhin die Schritte umfassen: Nochmaliges Überstreichen der Oberfläche der berührungssensitiven Sensoren durch den Benutzer, vorzugsweise mit dem Finger, in die erste Richtung, Thus, a second, higher clamping force level can be approached in a simple manner. This principle can also be continued: The method may further comprise the steps: Repainting the surface of the touch-sensitive sensors by the user, preferably with the finger, in the first direction,
Detektieren des Signals der berührungssensitiven Sensoren von der Steuerung und Veranlassung des Anlegens des Kleidungsstücks an den Träger desselben oder das Schließen oder Anlegen des getragenen Gepäckstücks mit einem dritten Spannkraftniveau oder einem dritten Schließweg des Spannelements durch die Steuerung und den Elektromotor, wobei das dritte Spannkraftniveau höher ist als das zweite Spannkraftniveau oder der dritte Schließweg größer ist als der zweite Schließweg. Es können dabei auch weitere Überstreichungen der berührungssensitiven Sensoren zur weiteren schrittweisen Steigerung des Spannkraftniveaus bzw. des Schließweges erfolgen. Ein Spannkraftniveau wird dabei bevorzugt durch Vorgabe des Stroms definiert, mit dem der Elektromotor betrieben wird (siehe unten). Detecting the signal of the touch-sensitive sensors from the controller and causing the garment to be applied to the wearer thereof; or closing or applying the carried garment with a third tension level or a third closing path of the tension member by the controller and the electric motor, the third tension level being higher as the second clamping force level or the third closing path is larger than the second closing distance. In this case, further sweeps of the touch-sensitive sensors can be carried out for a further gradual increase of the clamping force level or of the closing path. A clamping force level is thereby preferably defined by specifying the current with which the electric motor is operated (see below).
Das Öffnen des Kleidungs- bzw. Gepäckstücks oder die Reduzierung des Spannkraftniveaus erfolgt bevorzugt, indem folgende Schritte ausgeführt werden: The opening of the garment or the piece of luggage or the reduction of the clamping force level is preferably carried out by the following steps:
Überstreichen der Oberfläche der berührungssensitiven Sensoren durch den Benutzer, vorzugsweise mit dem Finger, in eine zweite Richtung, die der ersten Richtung entgegengesetzt ist, Detektieren des Signals der berührungssensitiven Sensoren von der Steuerung und Veranlassung des Entspannens des Spannelements auf ein reduziertes Spannkraftniveau oder auf einen reduzierten Schließweg durch die Steuerung und den Elektromotor. Sweeping the surface of the touch-sensitive sensors by the user, preferably with the finger, in a second direction opposite to the first direction, Detecting the signal of the touch-sensitive sensors from the controller and causing the tensioner to relax to a reduced level of clamping force or to a reduced closing distance by the controller and the electric motor.
Für die vollständig entspannte Endposition kann die Spannrolle mit einem Drehwinkelsensor versehen sein, der in der Lage ist, die Null-Position der Spannrolle zu erkennen. Das oben genannte Überstreichen der Oberfläche der berührungssensitiven Sensoren erfolgt nach einer bevorzugten Vorgehensweise dergestalt, dass der Benutzer (bevorzugt mittels eines Fingers) die Sensoren komplett überstreicht, d. h. über die gesamte Erstreckung der Oberfläche der Sensoren. Auf diese Art und Weise kann - wie beschrieben - das Spannkraftniveau bzw. der Schließweg schrittweise bzw. in Stufen erhöht werden; gleichermaßen kann damit (wenn die Oberfläche in die Gegenrichtung überstrichen wird) das Spannkraftniveau reduziert werden bzw. das Kleidungs- oder Gepäckstück komplett geöffnet bzw. zum Ablegen vorbereitet werden. For the fully relaxed end position, the tension roller may be provided with a rotation angle sensor capable of detecting the zero position of the tension roller. The above-mentioned sweeping the surface of the touch-sensitive sensors is carried out according to a preferred procedure in such a way that the user (preferably by means of a finger) completely covers the sensors, d. H. over the entire extent of the surface of the sensors. In this way - as described - the clamping force level or the closing distance can be increased gradually or in stages; In the same way (if the surface is swept over in the opposite direction), the tension level can be reduced or the clothing or luggage item can be completely opened or prepared for removal.
Allerdings ist es genauso auch möglich, die Oberfläche der berührungssensitiven Sensoren nicht vollständig, sondern nur über einen Teil ihrer Erstreckung (mit dem Finger) zu überstreichen. Die Steuerung kann dann in Abhängigkeit der Länge, über die der Benutzer die Oberfläche überstrichen hat, ein (bevorzugt proportionales) Signal an den Elektromotor geben, so dass die Spannung im entsprechenden Maße erhöht bzw. der Schließweg vergrößert oder (bei Überstreichen in der Gegenrichtung) reduziert wird. Somit erlaubt das vorgeschlagene Verfahren ein stufenweises Schließen (Spannen) und Öffnen (Entspannen) des Kleidungsstücks bzw. ein stufenweises Schließen, Anlegen, Öffnen oder Ablegen des Gepäckstücks, das von der Person getragen wird, wozu die Oberfläche der berührungssensitiven Sensoren komplett oder auch nur zu einem Teil überstrichen wird, um besagtes Spannen bzw. Öffnen fein einstellen zu können. However, it is equally possible not to cover the surface of the touch-sensitive sensors completely, but only over part of their extension (with the finger). The controller may then, depending on the length over which the user has swept the surface, give a (preferably proportional) signal to the electric motor, so that the voltage increases to the appropriate extent or increases the closing distance or (when sweeping in the opposite direction) is reduced. Thus, the proposed method allows a gradual closing (tightening) and opening (relaxing) of the garment or a gradual closing, donning, opening or dropping of the baggage, which is carried by the person, including the surface of the touch-sensitive sensors completely or even only a part is swept over in order to adjust said clamping or opening finely.
Somit besteht die Möglichkeit, durch einfaches Überstreichen der Anzahl berührungssensitiver Sensoren (in die erste Richtung) gezielt definierte Spannkraftniveaus des Kleidungs- bzw. Gepäckstücks anzufahren und auch das Öffnen des Kleidungs- oder Gepäckstücks, d. h. die Entspannung des Spannelements, durch einmaliges Überstreichen der Sensoren (in die zweite Richtung) vorzunehmen. Thus, it is possible, by simply sweeping over the number of touch-sensitive sensors (in the first direction) to approach selectively defined clamping force levels of the clothing or luggage item and also the opening of the clothing or luggage item, d. H. the relaxation of the clamping element by making a single sweep of the sensors (in the second direction) make.
Damit werden das Spannen und das Lösen bzw. Öffnen und Schließen in sehr einfacher und komfortabler Weise möglich. Thus, the clamping and loosening or opening and closing in a very simple and comfortable way possible.
Am oder auf dem Schaltelement kann eine Anzahl an Leuchtelementen, insbesondere in Form von Light-Emitting Diodes (LED), angeordnet sein, wobei das aktuelle Spannkraftniveau durch die Anzahl der aktivierten Leuchtelemente angezeigt wird. Somit kann in einfacher Weise dem Benutzer des Kleidungs- bzw. Gepäckstücks angezeigt werden, wie stark das Kleidungs- bzw. Gepäckstück gegenwärtig am Körper gespannt ist. Je mehr LEDs aufleuchten, desto stärker ist das Kleidungs- bzw. Gepäckstück gespannt. Auch der geöffnete Zustand des Kleidungs- bzw. Gepäckstücks kann über die LEDs angezeigt werden. Das vorgeschlagene Kleidungs- oder Gepäckstück mit Drehverschluss und Schaltelement zeichnet sich erfindungsgemäß dadurch aus, dass das Schaltelement durch eine Anzahl nebeneinander angeordneter berührungssensitiver Sensoren gebildet wird, die eine für den Benutzer des Kleidungs- oder Gepäckstücks (insbesondere für einen Finger des Benutzers) zugängliche Oberfläche bilden. Die gemeinsame Oberfläche der Sensoren ist dabei möglichst glatt und eben ausgeführt. On or on the switching element, a number of light-emitting elements, in particular in the form of light-emitting diodes (LED), be arranged, wherein the current clamping force level is indicated by the number of activated lighting elements. Thus, the user of the garment or luggage can be easily displayed how much the garment or luggage is currently stretched on the body. The more LEDs light up, the stronger the clothing or luggage stretched. The opened state of the clothing or luggage item can also be displayed via the LEDs. The proposed article of clothing or luggage with a twist lock and switching element is characterized according to the invention in that the switching element is formed by a number of juxtaposed contact-sensitive sensors which form a surface accessible to the user of the clothing or luggage item (in particular for a user's finger) , The common surface of the sensors is as smooth and flat as possible.
Dies ist so zu verstehen, dass durch Überstreichen der Oberfläche die einzelnen berührungssensitiven Sensoren aktiviert werden können, um die oben genannte Funktionalität zu erzeugen. It should be understood that by sweeping the surface, the individual touch-sensitive sensors can be activated to produce the above-mentioned functionality.
Die einzelnen berührungssensitiven Sensoren sind dabei bevorzugt als kapazitive Sensoren ausgebildet. The individual touch-sensitive sensors are preferably designed as capacitive sensors.
Die einzelnen berührungssensitiven Sensoren sind bevorzugt nebeneinander in einer linearen Anordnung positioniert, wobei vorzugsweise zwischen drei und sieben berührungs sensitive Sensoren nebeneinander angeordnet sind. Am oder auf dem Schaltelement ist bevorzugt eine Anzahl Leuchtelemente, insbesondere LEDs, angeordnet. The individual touch-sensitive sensors are preferably positioned next to one another in a linear arrangement, wherein preferably between three and seven touch-sensitive sensors are arranged next to one another. On or on the switching element, a number of light-emitting elements, in particular LEDs, is preferably arranged.
Gemäß einer bevorzugten Ausführungsform sind das Schaltelement und der Drehverschluss an unterschiedlichen Stellen des Kleidungs- oder Gepäck- Stücks angeordnet. Es ist aber auch eine Kombination mit dem Drehverschluss zu einer Einheit (bestehend aus Drehverschluss und Schaltelement) möglich. Wie oben erläutert, wird das Überstreichen der Oberfläche der berührungssensitiven Sensoren durch den Benutzer in der Regel mit dem Finger erfolgen. Allerdings ist dies nicht zwingend; es kann diesbezüglich auch vorgesehen werden, dass zum Überstreichen ein Hilfsmittel (z. B. ein Stift) eingesetzt wird. According to a preferred embodiment, the switching element and the rotary closure are arranged at different points of the clothing or luggage piece. But it is also a combination with the screw cap to a unit (consisting of screw cap and switching element) possible. As explained above, the sweeping of the surface of the touch-sensitive sensors by the user will usually be done with the finger. However, this is not mandatory; It can also be provided in this regard that an aid (eg a pen) is used for sweeping.
Im Kleidungs- oder Gepäckstück können Federmittel angeordnet sein, die das Kleidungs- oder Gepäckstück entgegen der Wirkung des Spannelements in eine Geöfmet-Position vorspannen. Damit wird erreicht, dass nach Öffnen des Drehverschlusses das Kleidungs- oder Gepäckstück in eine geöffnete Stellung „aufklappt" und so ein leichteres An- und Ausziehen bzw. An- und Ablegen des Kleidungs- oder Gepäckstücks ermöglicht. In clothing or luggage spring means may be arranged which bias the clothing or luggage against the action of the clamping element in a Geöfmet position. This ensures that after opening the rotary closure, the garment or luggage in an open position "unfolds" and thus makes it easier to put on and take off or on and off the garment or luggage.
Zur Energieversorgung ist bevorzugt eine wiederaufladbare Batterie im Kleidungs- oder Gepäckstück angeordnet, die induktiv bzw. kontaktfrei aufladbar ist. Die Batterie, die für den Betrieb des Motors benötigt wird, ist also in diesem Falle als wiederaufladbare Batterie ausgebildet und wird über eine Induktionsspule mit einem Ladestrom versorgt. Die für das Aufladen benötigte Elektronik kann direkt an der Batterie platziert sein. Durch das Vorsehen einer Induktionsspule kann die Batterie des Kleidungs- oder Gepäckstücks kontaktlos aufgeladen werden. Hierzu kann das Kleidungsoder Gepäckstück auf einer entsprechenden Ladeplatte platziert und so die Batterie aufgeladen werden. Die oben erwähnten LEDs können auch zum Anzeigen des Ladens bzw. des Ladezustands genutzt werden. Beispielsweise können während des Aufladens die LEDs blinken, wobei immer mehr LEDs blinken, je stärker die Batterie aufgeladen ist. For energy supply, a rechargeable battery is preferably arranged in the clothing or luggage item which can be charged inductively or without contact. The battery that is required for the operation of the engine is therefore designed in this case as a rechargeable battery and is supplied via an induction coil with a charging current. The electronics needed for charging can be placed directly on the battery. By providing an induction coil, the battery of the clothing or luggage can be charged without contact. For this purpose, the clothing or luggage can be placed on a corresponding pallet and so charged the battery. The above-mentioned LEDs can also be used for displaying the charge or state of charge. For example, during charging, the LEDs may flash, with more and more LEDs blinking the more the battery is charged.
Vorgesehen kann auch werden, dass der Ladezustand der Batterie während der Benutzung des Kleidungs- oder Gepäckstücks durch die LEDs angezeigt wird. So ist es beispielsweise möglich, dass ab einem gewissen Ladezustand (z. B. wenn die Batterie weniger als 50 % des maximalen Ladezustands aufweist) die LEDs zu blinken anfangen. Das Kleidungs- oder Gepäckstück kann auch eine Schnittstelle aufweisen, die zur drahtlosen Kommunikation mit einem Mobiltelefon ausgebildet ist, insbesondere zur Kommunikation über Bluetooth. Somit kann über eine drahtlose Verbindung eine Kommunikation mit dem Mobiltelefon (Smartphone) erfolgen und in diesem Falle das Schaltelement in das Mobiltelefon verlegt werden; das Schaltelement wird also in diesem Falle durch das Mobiltelefon gebildet. Demnach kann also die Steuerung des Drehverschlusses auf drahtlose Weise per Bluetooth über ein Smartphone erfolgen, das zu diesem Zwecke mit einer entsprechenden App versehen ist. Bei dem Kleidungsstück handelt es sich bevorzugt um eine Mütze, eine Jacke, eine Hose, einen Kapuzenpulli, einen BH oder einen Gürtel. Bei dem Gepäckstück ist insbesondere an einen Rucksack und an eine Sport- oder Reisetasche gedacht. Bei diesen Anwendungen lässt sich das vorgeschlagene Verfahren und das erläuterte Verschlusssystem besonders vorteilhaft einsetzen. It can also be provided that the state of charge of the battery during use of the clothing or luggage by the LEDs displayed becomes. So it is possible, for example, that starting from a certain state of charge (eg if the battery has less than 50% of the maximum state of charge), the LEDs start to flash. The garment or luggage may also have an interface which is designed for wireless communication with a mobile telephone, in particular for communication via Bluetooth. Thus, via a wireless connection, a communication with the mobile phone (smartphone) and in this case the switching element are moved to the mobile phone; the switching element is thus formed in this case by the mobile phone. Accordingly, therefore, the control of the rotary closure can be done wirelessly via Bluetooth via a smartphone, which is provided for this purpose with a corresponding app. The garment is preferably a cap, a jacket, a pair of pants, a hooded sweatshirt, a bra or a belt. The piece of luggage is intended in particular to a backpack and a sports or travel bag. In these applications, the proposed method and the described closure system can be used particularly advantageously.
Die hier angesprochenen berührungssensitiven Sensoren sind als solche handelsüblich und werden auch als „swipe sensor" oder „touch panel" bezeichnet. Es handelt sich generell um eine Anzahl (meist zwischen drei und sieben) nebeneinander angeordneter Sensoren, die jeweils berührungsempfindlich sind, wodurch es der Steuerung möglich wird, durch die Abfolge der gemessenen Impulse der einzelnen Sensoren beim Überstreichen in die erste oder zweite Richtung zu erkennen, welche Maßnahme (Schließen oder Öffnen / Anlegen oder Ablegen) durchgeführt werden soll. Das erste Spannkraftniveau wird dabei vorzugsweise durch einen ersten vorgegebenen maximalen Strom definiert, den die Steuerung dem Elektromotor beim Spannvorgang vorgibt; besagter Strom beträgt dabei bevorzugt zwischen 1,1 A und 1,9 A. Das zweite Spannkraftniveau wird analog bevorzugt durch einen zweiten vorgegebenen maximalen Strom definiert, den die Steuerung dem Elektromotor beim Spannvorgang vorgibt, wobei der zweite maximale Strom höher ist als der erste maximale Strom; besagter Strom liegt bevorzugt zwischen 2,1 A und 2,9 A. Das dritte Spannkraftniveau wird entsprechend bevorzugt durch einen dritten vorgegebenen maximalen Strom definiert, den die Steuerung dem Elektromotor beim Spannvorgang vorgibt, wobei der dritte maximale Strom höher ist als der zweite maximale Strom; der Strom liegt bevorzugt zwischen 3,1 A und 3,9 A. The touch-sensitive sensors mentioned here are commercially available as such and are also referred to as "swipe sensor" or "touch panel". It is generally a number (usually between three and seven) juxtaposed sensors, each of which is touch-sensitive, which allows the controller to recognize by the sequence of the measured pulses of the individual sensors when sweeping in the first or second direction, which measure (close or open / create or drop) is to be performed. The first clamping force level is preferably defined by a first predetermined maximum current, which the control predetermines the electric motor during the clamping operation; said current is in this case preferably between 1.1 A and 1.9 A. The second clamping force level is analogously preferably defined by a second predetermined maximum current which the controller prescribes to the electric motor during the clamping operation, the second maximum current being higher than the first maximum Electricity; said current is preferably between 2.1 A and 2.9 A. The third clamping force level is correspondingly preferably defined by a third predetermined maximum current which the controller prescribes to the electric motor during the clamping operation, wherein the third maximum current is higher than the second maximum current ; the current is preferably between 3.1 A and 3.9 A.
Besagte Spannkraftniveaus sind dabei also durch Vorgabe eines entsprechenden Motorstroms definiert (z. B. erstes Niveau: 1,5 A - zweites Niveau: 2,5 A - drittes Niveau: 3,5 A), so dass der Motor mit korrespondierenden maximalen Drehmomenten betrieben wird, was wiederum über das bevorzugt zum Einsatz kommende Getriebe zwischen Motor und Spannrolle zu einer korrespondierenden zunehmenden Zugkraft im Spannelement führt. Said clamping force levels are thus defined by specifying a corresponding motor current (eg first level: 1.5 A - second level: 2.5 A - third level: 3.5 A), so that the motor is operated with corresponding maximum torques which, in turn, leads to a corresponding increasing tensile force in the tensioning element via the preferably used transmission between the engine and the tensioning pulley.
Die Spannelemente sind bevorzugt Spanndrähte. Sie können Polyamid aufweisen oder aus diesem Material bestehen. The clamping elements are preferably tension wires. You can have polyamide or consist of this material.
In vorteilhafter Weise kann so der Bedienungskomfort bei der Benutzung eines Kleidungs- oder Gepäckstücks mit elektromotorischem Spannsystem per Drehverschluss verbessert werden. Gemäß einer Weiterbildung des Kleidungs- oder Gepäckstücks kann vorgesehen werden, dass zwei Spannelemente vorgesehen sind, die gleichzeitig von der Spannrolle aufgewickelt werden und so einen vergleichmäßigten Spanndruck auf den Körper der Person ausüben, die das Kleidungs- oder Gepäckstück trägt. Advantageously, the ease of use when using a garment or luggage with electromotive tensioning system can be improved by screw cap. According to a development of the garment or luggage can be provided that two clamping elements are provided, which are wound simultaneously by the tension roller and thus exert a uniform clamping pressure on the body of the person wearing the garment or luggage.
Diese Ausgestaltung wird natürlich nicht bei allen genannten Anwendungen sinnvoll sein. Allerdings kann dies vorteilhaft beispielsweise beim Anlegen eines Rucksacks eingesetzt werden, wobei die beiden Tragriemen desselben dann simultan von zwei Spannelementen gespannt werden. Ähnliches gilt für eine Jacke und für eine Hose. Of course, this embodiment will not be useful for all mentioned applications. However, this can be used advantageously, for example, when creating a backpack, wherein the two strap of the same are then stretched simultaneously by two clamping elements. The same applies to a jacket and trousers.
Die beiden Spannelemente sind dabei mit ihren beiden Enden an der Spannrolle befestigt und bilden jeweils einen geschlossenen Kurvenzug auf zwei Seiten des Kleidungs- oder Gepäckstücks. Die beiden Kurvenzüge der beiden Spannelemente können dabei im wesentlichen symmetrisch zu einer Mittenebene des Kleidungs- oder Gepäckstücks ausgebildet sein. Das vorgeschlagene Verfahren kann auch dahingehend weiterentwickelt werden, dass am oder im Kleidungs- oder Gepäckstück ein Drucksensor angeordnet ist, der den Grad der Spannung des Kleidungs- oder Gepäckstücks am Körper des Trägers erfasst. Dieser Druck kann mit einem Wert verglichen werden, der in der Steuerung gespeichert ist. Wird während des Tragens des Kleidungs- oder Gepäckstücks ein zu hoher Druck festgestellt, kann vorgesehen werden, dass die Steuerung autark eine Verminderung der Spannung veranlasst. Umgekehrt kann bei einem zu geringen Druck auch ein Nachspannen des Kleidungs- oder Gepäckstücks veranlasst werden, was die Steuerung autark vornimmt. In der Zeichnung ist ein Ausfuhrungsbeispiel der Erfindung dargestellt. Es zeigen: Fig. 1 schematisch in der Seitenansicht eine teils geschnitten dargestellte The two clamping elements are attached at both ends to the tension roller and each form a closed curve on two sides of the clothing or luggage. The two curves of the two clamping elements can be formed substantially symmetrical to a center plane of the clothing or luggage. The proposed method can also be further developed in that a pressure sensor is arranged on or in the clothing or luggage item, which detects the degree of tension of the clothing or luggage on the body of the wearer. This pressure can be compared with a value stored in the controller. If too high a pressure is detected while wearing the clothing or luggage, it can be provided that the control autonomously causes a reduction of the voltage. Conversely, if the pressure is too low, retightening of the garment or item of luggage can be initiated, which the controller does autonomously. In the drawing, an embodiment of the invention is shown. FIG. 1 shows a schematic side view of a partially sectioned illustration. FIG

Person. Person.
In Figur 1 ist ein Kleidungsstück 1 in Form einer Mütze zu sehen. Die Mütze 1 ist als Schirmmütze ausgebildet; der Schirm ist mit 13 bezeichnet. Wenn die Mütze 1 auf dem (nicht dargestellten) Kopf des Trägers aufgesetzt ist, kann diese mit einem gewünschten Spannkraftniveau am Kopf des Trägers gespannt werden. Hierfür ist ein Spannband 12 vorhanden. Bei konventionellen Lösungen wird das Spannband per Hand auf ein gewünschtes Spannkraftniveau eingestellt. FIG. 1 shows a garment 1 in the form of a cap. The cap 1 is designed as a visor cap; the screen is designated 13. When the cap 1 is placed on the head (not shown) of the wearer, it can be tensioned with a desired level of tension on the head of the wearer. For this purpose, a strap 12 is present. In conventional solutions, the clamping band is adjusted by hand to a desired clamping force level.
Bei der vorgeschlagenen Lösung ist hierfür eine elektromotorische Lösung vorgesehen: In die Mütze 1 ist ein Drehverschluss 2 integriert, der eine Spannrolle 4 aufweist. Die Spannrolle 4 spannt ein Spannelement 3, das mit dem Spannband 12 verbunden ist. Ein Elektromotor 5 betätigt über ein nicht dargestelltes Getriebe die Spannrolle 4. Gesteuert wird der Elektromotor 5 von einer Steuerung 7. Für die Betätigung des Drehverschlusses 2 (über den Elektromotor 5 und die Steuerung 7) ist ein Schaltelement 6 vorgesehen. Im Ausführungsbeispiel befindet sich das Schaltelement 6 in der Front der Mütze und ist durch einen Finger des Benutzers leicht zugänglich. In the proposed solution an electromotive solution is provided for this purpose: In the cap 1, a rotary closure 2 is integrated, which has a tension roller 4. The tension roller 4 biases a tensioning element 3, which is connected to the tension band 12. An electric motor 5 actuates the tensioning roller 4 via a gear, not shown. The electric motor 5 is controlled by a controller 7. A switching element 6 is provided for actuating the rotary closure 2 (via the electric motor 5 and the control 7). In the exemplary embodiment, the switching element 6 is located in the front of the cap and is easily accessible by a user's finger.
Zum Spannen und Lösen des Spannbandes 12 am Kopf des Trägers der Mütze 1 geht der Benutzer wie folgt vor: For tightening and loosening the tension band 12 on the head of the wearer of the cap 1, the user proceeds as follows:
Das Schaltelement 6 weist, wie es aus Figur 2 ersichtlich ist, eine Oberfläche 10 auf, die mit einer Anzahl berührungssensitiver Sensoren 9 versehen ist. Konkret sind vorliegend fünf berührungssensitive Sensoren 9 linear nebeneinander angeordnet. Die einzelnen berührungssensitiven Sensoren 9 sind als kapazitive Sensoren ausgebildet, die als solche im Stand der Technik bekannt sind. Sie reagieren auf die Kontaktnahme mit dem Finger 8 des Benutzers der Mütze 1. Zum Schließen des Spannbands 12 der Mütze 1 überstreicht der Benutzer mit seinem Finger 8 die berührungssensitiven Sensoren 9 in eine erste Richtung Rl . Detektiert die Steuerung 7 besagte Kontaktierung der Sensoren 9, veranlasst sie das Anfahren eines ersten Spannkraftniveaus, d. h. der Elektromotor 5 wird mit einem ersten, vorgegebenen Maximalwert für den Motorstrom betrieben, beispielsweise 1 ,5 A. The switching element 6, as can be seen in FIG. 2, has a surface 10 which is provided with a number of touch-sensitive sensors 9. Specifically, in the present case, five touch-sensitive sensors 9 are arranged linearly next to one another. The individual touch-sensitive sensors 9 are designed as capacitive sensors, which are known as such in the prior art. They respond to the contact with the finger 8 of the user of the cap 1. To close the clamping band 12 of the cap 1, the user with his finger 8 passes over the touch-sensitive sensors 9 in a first direction Rl. If the controller 7 detects said contacting of the sensors 9, it causes the start of a first clamping force level, ie. H. the electric motor 5 is operated with a first, predetermined maximum value for the motor current, for example 1, 5 A.
Am Schaltelement 6 sind Leuchtelemente 1 1 in Form von LEDs angeordnet. Durch Aktivierung eines oder mehrerer der Leuchtelemente 1 1 kann das angefahrene Spannkraftniveau dem Benutzer angezeigt werden (was dieser im Ausfuhrungsbeispiel nur in einem Spiegel sehen kann). At the switching element 6 lighting elements 1 1 are arranged in the form of LEDs. By activating one or more of the lighting elements 1 1, the applied clamping force level can be displayed to the user (which in the exemplary embodiment can only see this in a mirror).
Wird das Überstreichen der Sensoren 9 mit dem Finger 8 in die erste Richtung Rl wiederholt, kann ein zweites, höheres Spannkraftniveau ange- fahren werden; dabei kann ein zweiter, vorgegebener Maximalwert für den Motorstrom jetzt beispielsweise bei 2,5 A liegen. If the sweeping over of the sensors 9 with the finger 8 is repeated in the first direction R1, a second, higher level of clamping force can be applied. to drive; In this case, a second, predetermined maximum value for the motor current can now be, for example, 2.5 A.
Bei nochmaligem Überstreichen der Sensoren 9 kann das Spannkraftniveau weiter gesteigert werden; ein dritter, vorgegebener Maximalwert für den Motorstrom kann jetzt beispielsweise bei 3,5 A liegen. With repeated sweeping the sensors 9, the clamping force level can be further increased; a third, predetermined maximum value for the motor current can now be 3.5 A, for example.
In Abhängigkeit der Übersetzung zwischen Motor 5 und Spannrolle 4 sowie in Abhängigkeit der geometrischen Verhältnisse bis zum Angriff des Spannelements 3 am Spannband 12 ergeben sich korrespondierende Spannkraftniveaus. Depending on the translation between the motor 5 and tension roller 4 and in dependence of the geometric conditions until the attack of the clamping element 3 on the clamping band 12 results in corresponding clamping force levels.
Die Leuchtelemente 11 können wiederum genutzt werden, um das jeweils aktuelle Spannkraftniveau anzuzeigen. The lighting elements 11 can in turn be used to indicate the current clamping force level.
Zum Öffnen des Spannbands 12 überstreicht der Benutzer mit seinem Finger 8 die Oberfläche 10, d. h. die berührungssensitiven Sensoren 9, in eine zweite Richtung R2, die zur ersten Richtung Rl entgegengesetzt ist. Die Steuerung 7 veranlasst dann das vollständige Öffnen des Spannbands 12. Der Elektromotor 5 fahrt dann in den vollständig entspannten Zustand, der durch einen entsprechenden Drehwinkelsensor an der Spannrolle 4 ermittelt werden kann. To open the tension band 12, the user with his finger 8 passes over the surface 10, d. H. the touch-sensitive sensors 9, in a second direction R2, which is opposite to the first direction Rl. The controller 7 then causes the complete opening of the clamping band 12. The electric motor 5 then moves into the fully relaxed state, which can be determined by a corresponding rotation angle sensor on the tension roller 4.
Der Benutzer muss also nicht längere Zeit einen Schließ- oder Öffhungs- Schalter betätigen; es reicht das Überstreichen der berührungssensitiven Sensoren 9 in der beschriebenen Weise. Vorteilhaft kann der Benutzer hierdurch ein für seine Wünsche passendes Spannkraftniveau gezielt anfahren, ohne dass er dies durch entsprechend langes Drücken des Schließ-Schalters einstellen muss. Das Ausfuhrungsbeispiel zeigt eine Mütze. Natürlich kann das vorgeschlagene Prinzip auch für viele andere Anwendungen vorgesehen werden. The user does not have to operate a closing or opening switch for a long time; it suffices to sweep over the touch-sensitive sensors 9 in the manner described. Advantageously, the user can thereby selectively approach a suitable for his wishes clamping force level, without having to adjust this by a correspondingly long pressing the closing switch. The exemplary embodiment shows a cap. Of course, the proposed principle can also be provided for many other applications.
Hierzu seien Kleidungsstücke wie insbesondere (Sport)Jacken und (Sport)Hosen genannt, bei denen bestimmte geometrische Verhältnisse einstellbar ausgebildet sind, beispielsweise die Spannung des Kleidungsstücks im Hüftbereich oder die Länge von Hosenbeinen und Ärmeln. Vorstellbar ist für eine (Sport)Jacke auch das automatisierte Hoch- oder Herunterfahren einer Kapuze. Insbesondere für Jacken kann auch das automatisierte Öffnen und Schließen derselben vorgesehen werden. Sehr vorteilhaft ist die erläuterte Ausgestaltung auch bei einem BH (Büstenhalter) einsetzbar. For this purpose, garments such as (sports) jackets and (sports) pants are mentioned, in which certain geometrical relationships are designed to be adjustable, for example, the tension of the garment in the hip area or the length of trouser legs and sleeves. Also conceivable for a (sports) jacket is the automated raising or lowering of a hood. Especially for jackets and the automated opening and closing of the same can be provided. Very advantageous embodiment explained is also in a bra (brassiere) used.
Weitere besonders vorteilhafte Anwendungen sind Rucksäcke. Hier kann die Anpassung der Länge der Tragriemen wie beschrieben durchgeführt werden, um den Rucksack an die Bedürfhisse des Trägers anpassen zu können. Wiederum kann auch für diese Anwendung ein automatisiertes Öffnen und Schließen vorgesehen werden. Analoges gilt für Taschen, insbesondere für Sporttaschen und Reisetaschen, wobei bei diesen zumeist lediglich das automatisierte Öffnen und Schließen vorgesehen werden wird. Other particularly advantageous applications are backpacks. Here, the adjustment of the length of the strap can be carried out as described in order to adapt the backpack to the needs of the wearer. Again, automated opening and closing can also be provided for this application. The same applies to bags, especially for sports bags and travel bags, which usually only automated opening and closing will be provided in these.
Eine andere Anwendung ist die Integration der beschriebenen Vorrichtung in einen Gürtel, mit dem dann die (Spann)Längeneinstellung in der erläuterten Weise erfolgen kann. Bezugszeichenliste: Another application is the integration of the device described in a belt with which then the (Spann) length adjustment can take place in the manner explained.
