Definitions
- the present invention relates to a device for receiving a jigsaw puzzle with a flexible surface element, in particular one that can be rolled up, which serves to store and in particular temporarily store the puzzle.
- the invention also relates to a picture frame for presenting a jigsaw puzzle.
- Puzzles have long been known and enjoy great popularity. Many people enjoy assembling a puzzle with a motif from a large number of puzzle pieces. This can be done in different ways. For example, only one table can be used for puzzles, on which the puzzle pieces are placed accordingly. However, this is impractical if you want to use the table for something else in between. To remedy this, there are rollable puzzle mats or fixed puzzle tables. These are sometimes also equipped with a rim so that the puzzle can rest against it or not slip over the surface. Alternatively, just a piece of cardboard or wood can be used as a temporary base for the puzzle. There are also jigsaw mats, which are small tiles that you can assemble.
- puzzle mats do not form a stable base and there can therefore be problems with laying the puzzle pieces when doing the puzzle and the puzzle pieces that have already been placed are not stored stably, while plates and tables take up a lot of space. They are bulky products that are inconvenient to transport and store. This is precisely why the puzzle mats have established themselves because they can be folded and rolled, with the role around which the puzzle mat with the partially or fully completed puzzle can be rolled being either inflatable or can be assembled from smaller roles.
- a corresponding device for receiving a jigsaw puzzle should have a simple structure and be easy to manufacture.
- the invention proposes a device for holding a jigsaw puzzle, a so-called jigsaw puzzle base with a flexible, in particular rollable surface element, which is used to store the jigsaw puzzle, as is known from jigsaw mats.
- the invention is not limited to this, but provides at least one, preferably several stiffening elements that can be assembled together with the surface element in such a way that the device is transferred from a disassembled state with a flexibly deformable surface element to a plate-shaped stabilized state of the surface element, wherein the stiffening elements serve to stabilize the surface element in an even, flat shape.
- the invention combines the advantages of a puzzle mat and a stable base in the form of a plate, the device according to the invention at least during the non - Use, i.e. when no puzzle is being put together or stored, can be folded up small and is therefore easy to transport and store.
- At least some of the stiffening elements can be fixed to the surface element, since the stiffening of the surface element is only effected after the arrangement and/or assembly of the stiffening elements and the surface element can still be rolled and/or folded even when some of the stiffening elements are fixed .
- stiffening elements can be arranged in receiving elements of the planar element, with the connection of the stiffening elements to the planar element being ensured via the receiving elements, which is necessary for stiffening the planar element.
- a stiffening element can be positively and/or non-positively connectable to one or more other stiffening elements and/or two ends of a stiffening element can be positively and/or non-positively connectable.
- the device can further comprise stiffening elements which are neither arranged fixedly on the surface element nor in receiving elements of the surface element, but can only be fastened to one or more adjacent stiffening elements.
- the stiffening elements can all be of the same design or several stiffening elements that are the same or different can be provided, or all the stiffening elements are different from one another.
- the device can also be reversibly dismantled from a plate-shaped stabilized state to a disassembled state with a flexibly deformable surface element, not only after completing a puzzle or generally after the end of use, but also while a puzzle is being placed around the partially to be able to temporarily store completed puzzles like the puzzle mats.
- the stiffening elements can be at least partially removed and the surface element can be at least partially finished with the Puzzle to be rolled onto a roll.
- the device can also have a roller.
- the device can also be designed in such a way that it is only in a plate-shaped stabilized state when the stiffening elements and in particular all stiffening elements are positively and/or non-positively connected to one another.
- the surface element which has a much smaller thickness than its length or width or its diameter, can be made of any suitable material, such as flat textile structures made of natural and synthetic fibers and metals, woven fabrics, knitted fabrics, knitted fabrics, braids , stitch-bonded fabrics, non-woven fabrics, felts, grids, foils of metal and plastic, and paper.
- the planar element is preferably elastically extensible, so that the planar element can be placed under an elastic pretension, which is beneficial for the stiffening.
- the receiving element of the planar element can be formed by a wide variety of components, these only having to enable the stiffening element to be arranged and connected to the planar element. Accordingly, eyelets, tabs, hoses, snaps, rivets, hooks, buttons, slits, openings, button openings and the like can be used.
- stiffening elements can also be designed in a wide variety of ways, for example as rods, telescopic rods, rods with threaded ends and/or threaded bores, sleeves, threaded sleeves, blocks, cuboid elements with complementary projections and recesses, strips and the like.
- the stiffening elements can be made of any suitable material, in particular plastic, fiber-reinforced plastic, metals, etc.
- the stiffening elements can preferably be arranged circumferentially on the edge of the surface element in order to form a stiff edge and to stretch the surface element elastically.
- the stiffening elements can have shaped and/or force-fitting elements, in particular hooks, eyelets, clamping elements, clip elements, projections, Recesses, undercuts, pins, tenons, blind holes, sleeves, combinations thereof and the like.
- cuboid or strip-shaped or angled stiffening elements with projections protruding in the circumferential direction can be fastened on one side of the surface element at a distance from one another, and the device can also have complementary cuboid or strip-shaped stiffening elements with recesses aligned in the circumferential direction, which fit into the gaps between the stiffening elements attached to the surface element can be used, so that the surface element can be rolled up or folded up flexibly without the stiffening elements inserted into the gaps and is in the plate-shaped stabilized state with the stiffening elements inserted.
- a reverse arrangement of the projections and recesses is of course also possible.
- the device can have at least one, preferably several, frame elements that can be connected to the surface element and/or the stiffening elements and cover the edge of the surface element, so that the device can also be used for permanent storage and presentation of the puzzle.
- the frame elements can be designed in such a way that they can be clipped onto the stiffening elements in a clamping manner.
- Other types of attachment of the frame elements to the surface element and/or the stiffening elements are also conceivable.
- a picture frame for a puzzle which uses a puzzle base that is designed to lay the puzzle and is further designed so that the puzzle base can be connected to a frame, so that the puzzle base Becomes part of the frame and is used permanently to store and display the puzzle.
- jigsaw puzzle bases which, unlike the previously described jigsaw puzzle holding device, do not have any stiffening elements or are not flexible.
- the frame or jigsaw puzzle base may have a hanger for hanging on the wall or a stand.
- the figure 1 shows a top view of a first exemplary embodiment of a jigsaw puzzle base 1 according to the invention in the assembled state.
- the puzzle pad 1 of the embodiment of FIG figure 1 comprises a surface element in the form of a film 2, which has receiving elements in the form of tubes 8,9,10,11 at its edge on the front and long sides, into which stiffening rods 3,4,5,6 are inserted.
- the stiffening rods 3,4,5,6 are interconnected at their ends, for example by plug-in connections with sockets 12 and pins 18, as in FIGS Figures 2 to 4 can be seen.
- the sheet 2 which may be a plastic sheet, is elastically extensible and the stiffening rods 3,4,5,6, which may be formed of a rigid material such as also plastic or metal, are dimensioned so that when their ends are nested , the film 2 is pulled apart by the hoses 8,9,10,11, both in a direction parallel to the longitudinal sides and in a direction parallel to the end faces, so that the puzzle area 7, which is between the hoses 8,9, 10.11 is defined, elastically braced and thus stabilized.
- the puzzle base 1 has a stiff and stable edge formed by the stiffening rods 3,4, 5,6, and a puzzle area 7 which is arranged in between and consists of an elastically tensioned film which gives the puzzle base 1 the required stability .
- a user can thus assemble or lay the puzzle pieces of a puzzle on the puzzle area 7 and the partially or fully completed puzzle can be transported with the puzzle base 1 in a simple manner, for example from a table on which the puzzle is being played to a shelf, where the puzzle can be temporarily stored with the puzzle base 1.
- the puzzle area 7 can preferably be dimensioned so that it is adapted to the size of the puzzle, so that the puzzle rests against the edge of the puzzle base 1 with the stiffening rods 3,4,5,6 or the hoses 8,9,10,11 . This simplifies the puzzle for the user, since he has specified the dimension of the puzzle.
- figure 2 is a sectional view through the surface element in the form of the film 2, wherein the jigsaw puzzle area 7 and the surrounding hoses 8 and 9,11 for receiving the stiffening rods 3,4,6 can be seen.
- the figure 3 shows an example of a stiffening rod 3, which is composed of several rod segments 13,14,15.
- the rod segments 13,14,15 are tubular, with an elastic band 17 being arranged inside the rod segments 13,14,15, the length of which is selected such that the elastic band 17 is stretched when the rod segments 13,14, 15 are assembled. In this way, a biasing force is generated by the elastic band 17, which holds the assembled rod segments 13, 14,15 together.
- a sleeve 16 is arranged on the rod segments 13 and 15 at one end of the respective rod segment 13,15, which makes it possible to receive one end of the rod segment 14 in each case.
- a bushing 12 is arranged, the bushing opening is rotated by 90 ° relative to the longitudinal extent of the stiffening rod 3 or the rod segments 13,14,15 in order to Pins 18 of the stiffening rods 4 and 6 arranged transversely to the stiffening rod 3 are to be accommodated.
- the figure 4 an example of the stiffening bar 4, wherein the stiffening bar 6 can be formed in the same way.
- the stiffening rod 4 shown is a one-piece stiffening rod which has corresponding pins 18 at its ends which fit into the sockets 12 of the stiffening rods 3, 5 arranged adjacent thereto. The pins 18 are held securely in the sockets 12 by the elastic bracing of the film 2 .
- the figure 5 shows a further embodiment of a device according to the invention for receiving a jigsaw puzzle in the form of a jigsaw puzzle pad 20.
- the puzzle base 20 is not rectangular in shape, like the previous puzzle base 1, but is designed as a circular plate-shaped element. This makes it clear that the present invention can be implemented with a wide variety of shapes, not only rectangular or round plate-shaped puzzle bases being able to be formed, but also puzzle bases of other types of shape.
- the puzzle base 20 has a fabric 21 as a surface element, which includes a circular peripheral tube 23 at its edge, which defines the puzzle area 22 of the puzzle base 20 .
- a stiffening element in the form of a stiffening ring 24 is arranged in the tube 23, the two ends of which are connected to one another via a closure 25, for example again via a socket-pin connection.
- the stiffening ring 24 can, for example, be made of fiberglass, a glass fiber reinforced plastic, which can be elastically deformed into a ring, so that the ring exerts a radially outwardly directed tensioning force on the tissue 21 and thus tensions it. In this way it is again possible for the circular puzzle base 20 in the assembled state, when the stiffening ring 24 is inserted into the hose 23 and the closure 25 is closed, to be a stable plate-shaped puzzle base 20 for the jigsaw puzzle.
- the figures 6 and 7 and 12 show a further embodiment of a jigsaw puzzle base 30 according to the invention, wherein in figure 6 a plan view of the surface element in the form of a film 31 can be seen.
- Stiffening blocks 33, 34 are arranged circumferentially on the film 31 at a distance from one another, with the stiffening blocks 33, 34 being arranged firmly on the film 31, for example by means of a material connection, such as gluing or the like.
- the stiffening blocks 33,34 are inherently made of a rigid material such as plastic and are not inherently flexible. However, since there are gaps 36 between the stiffening blocks 33, 34, the flexible film 31 can be rolled up or folded up, since it is not dimensionally stable except for the stiff stiffening blocks 33, 34, but is flexible.
- stiffening blocks 33, 34 are arranged on the film 31, with the stiffening blocks fundamentally differing in whether they are arranged along one side, ie a long side or the front side, or in the corner area of the film 31. As the figure 6 As can be seen, different stiffening blocks are provided in the corner area, of which only the stiffening block in the top right is labeled. The stiffening blocks can thus be designed differently depending on requirements.
- the flexible sheet 31 can be stiffened by inserting further stiffening blocks 37 into the gaps 36 between the stiffening blocks 33, 34 fixedly arranged on the sheet 31, since when the stiffening blocks 37 are inserted the entire circumferential Edge of the film 31 is occupied with stiffening blocks 33,34,37 and due to their form-fitting connection with one another result in a solid, stiff composite.
- the gaps 36 between the stiffening blocks 33, 34 firmly arranged on the film 31 can be dimensioned somewhat smaller than the stiffening blocks 37 to be used, so that the film 31 is elastically deformed by the insertion of the stiffening blocks and the stiffening blocks are deformed by the elastic restoring force of the film 31 are pressed against one another in directions parallel to the plane of the film 31, so as to stabilize and strengthen the composite.
- the film 31 is prestressed.
- a plate-shaped, stabilized jigsaw puzzle base 30 can also be created in this way.
- the Figures 8 and 9 show the stiffening blocks 34 and 37 in a plan view ( figure 8 ) and in a side view ( figure 9 ) to clarify the principle of the connection of the stiffening blocks 34 and 37.
- the stiffening block 34 has two projections 35 on its end faces, while the stiffening block 37 has complementary recesses 38 on its end faces.
- the projection 35 of an adjacent stiffening block 34 engages the recess 38, resulting in a positive connection.
- the recess 38 can be dimensioned somewhat smaller than the projection 35 in a direction parallel to the end face, for example, so that the projection 35 is accommodated in the recess 38 in a clamping manner.
- the figure 9 also shows a side view of another possibility of fixedly arranging the stiffening bridge 34 on the foil 31 by means of corresponding fastening clamps 39 which are pressed through the foil 31 into the stiffening block 34 or are fastened to it in some other way.
- the projections 35 and recesses 38 are arranged on the respective end faces continuously over the entire thickness of the stiffening blocks 34,37, as can be seen, for example, from FIG figure 9 results.
- the Figures 10 and 11 show further exemplary embodiments for stiffening blocks 40,41, as for example in a puzzle base 30, as shown in FIGS figures 6 and 7 is shown, can be used.
- the stiffening blocks 40, 41 are also on the end faces in turn, projections 42 and recesses 43 are provided, which are designed to be complementary to one another.
- the projections 42 and recesses 43 do not run over the entire thickness of the stiffening blocks 40,41, but only over part of it.
- a blind hole 44 is provided at the bottom of the recess 43, while a pin 45 protrudes from the underside of the projection 42, which is designed to engage in the blind hole 44, the pin 45 again being able to be dimensioned somewhat larger than the blind hole 44, so that the pin 45 is accommodated in the blind hole 44 in an elastically braced manner.
- Corresponding stiffening blocks or stiffening elements can be formed in a large number of different shapes, for example instead of blocks it is also possible to use profiles, such as L or T profiles, which have a corresponding rigidity due to their profile shape.
- the figure 12 shows a further embodiment of the jigsaw puzzle base 30 according to the invention with the arrangement of a frame 46.
- the frame has a plurality of frame segments 47 which are placed over the stiffening blocks 33,34,37.
- the frame segments 47 can have a corresponding groove on their underside, which can accommodate the stiffening blocks 33,34,37 in a clamped manner.
- the width of the groove can be dimensioned somewhat smaller than the width or end face length of the stiffening blocks 33, 34, 37, so that a clamping arrangement is possible.
- the frame segments 47 accordingly have a greater width than the stiffening blocks 33, 34, 37, so that they also slightly cover the jigsaw puzzle held in the jigsaw puzzle area 32 and thereby hold it. Since the jigsaw area 32 can be dimensioned in such a way that the jigsaw puzzle to be laid completely fills the jigsaw area and rests against the stiffening blocks 33,34,37 at the edge, a safe and stable reception of the jigsaw puzzle in the frame can thus be guaranteed. Accordingly, the puzzle base 30 can not only be used to lay a puzzle, but it can also serve as part of a frame with which the puzzle can be hung on a wall, for example.
- the frame 46 can also be correspondingly matched to the puzzle by using a puzzle base 30 specifically tailored to a specific puzzle to be laid.
- the frame can also be designed in the manner of puzzle pieces. This can also be advantageous because corresponding separating gaps between the individual frame segments 47 are then unobtrusive. However, this can also be concealed by a suitable surface design of the frame segments 47, or the frame segments 47 are selected in such a way that one frame segment 47 is provided for one side, i.e. the long sides and the front sides, as is also the case with conventional, known picture frame strips .
- the puzzle accommodated in the puzzle area 32 can also be glued to the puzzle base 30 or the film 31 .
- liquid adhesive is applied to the puzzle and spread over the puzzle, with the adhesive penetrating through the joints between the puzzle pieces and reaching the film 31, so that after the adhesive has hardened both the puzzle pieces are glued to each other and to the film 31 of the puzzle base 30
- the puzzle base 30 can also be designed in the puzzle area 32 in such a way that the corresponding puzzle cutting pattern of the puzzle to be laid is printed in order to make it easier to lay the puzzle.
- the motif of the puzzle can also be printed onto the puzzle base or the film 31 in the puzzle area 32 to make it easier to lay the puzzle.

Die vorliegende Erfindung betrifft eine Vorrichtung zur Aufnahme eines Puzzles mit einem flexiblen, insbesondere aufrollbaren Flächenelement, welches zur Lagerung und insbesondere Zwischenlagerung des Puzzles dient. Außerdem betrifft die Erfindung einen Bilderrahmen zur Präsentation eines Puzzles.The present invention relates to a device for receiving a jigsaw puzzle with a flexible surface element, in particular one that can be rolled up, which serves to store and in particular temporarily store the puzzle. The invention also relates to a picture frame for presenting a jigsaw puzzle.
Puzzle sind seit langem bekannt und erfreuen sich großer Beliebtheit. Es erfreut viele Menschen, aus einer großen Anzahl von Puzzleteilen ein Puzzle mit einem Motiv zusammenzusetzen. Dies kann auf unterschiedliche Art und Weise erfolgen. So kann zum Puzzeln einfach nur ein Tisch benutzt werden, auf dem die Puzzleteile entsprechend gelegt werden. Dies ist aber unpraktisch, wenn man den Tisch zwischendrin anderweitig nutzen möchte. Zur Abhilfe gibt es rollbare Puzzlematten oder feste Puzzletische. Diese sind manchmal auch mit einem Rand ausgestattet, so dass das Puzzle anliegen kann bzw. nicht über die Unterlage rutscht. Alternativ kann auch nur eine Papp - oder Holzplatte als temporäre Unterlage für das Puzzle verwendet werden. Es gibt auch Puzzle-Unterlagen, welche aus kleinen Platten bestehen, die man zusammenbauen kann.Puzzles have long been known and enjoy great popularity. Many people enjoy assembling a puzzle with a motif from a large number of puzzle pieces. This can be done in different ways. For example, only one table can be used for puzzles, on which the puzzle pieces are placed accordingly. However, this is impractical if you want to use the table for something else in between. To remedy this, there are rollable puzzle mats or fixed puzzle tables. These are sometimes also equipped with a rim so that the puzzle can rest against it or not slip over the surface. Alternatively, just a piece of cardboard or wood can be used as a temporary base for the puzzle. There are also jigsaw mats, which are small tiles that you can assemble.
Problem bei den bekannten Puzzleunterlagen ist, dass Puzzlematten keine stabile Unterlage bilden und es daher beim Puzzeln Probleme mit dem Legen der Puzzleteile geben kann und die bereits gelegten Puzzleteile nicht stabil gelagert sind, während Platten und Tische viel Platz brauchen. Sie sind sperrige Produkte, die ungünstig zu transportieren und zu lagern sind. Gerade deshalb haben sich die Puzzlematten etabliert, weil diese faltbar und rollbar sind, wobei die Rolle, um welche die Puzzlematte mit dem teilweise oder ganz fertigen Puzzle gerollt werden kann, entweder aufblasbar ist oder aus kleineren Rollen zusammensteckbar ist.The problem with the known puzzle bases is that puzzle mats do not form a stable base and there can therefore be problems with laying the puzzle pieces when doing the puzzle and the puzzle pieces that have already been placed are not stored stably, while plates and tables take up a lot of space. They are bulky products that are inconvenient to transport and store. This is precisely why the puzzle mats have established themselves because they can be folded and rolled, with the role around which the puzzle mat with the partially or fully completed puzzle can be rolled being either inflatable or can be assembled from smaller roles.
Für fertig gelegte Puzzles gibt es auch die Möglichkeit diese zu rahmen und als Bild an eine Wand zu hängen. Hierzu gibt es verschiedenste Möglichkeiten. Nachteil ist jedoch oft, dass die handelsüblichen Rahmen oft für dünne Bilder oder Kunstdrucke gedacht sind und deshalb ein Puzzle, welches in der Regel aus dickerem Material gefertigt ist, nicht in den Rahmen passt.For completed puzzles, there is also the option of framing them and hanging them on a wall as a picture. There are various possibilities for this. However, the disadvantage is often that the commercially available frames are often intended for thin pictures or art prints and therefore a puzzle, which is usually made of thicker material, does not fit into the frame.
Es ist deshalb Aufgabe der Erfindung, die Probleme des Standes der Technik zu überwinden und eine Möglichkeit zu schaffen, ein Puzzle auf einer Puzzleunterlage zu puzzeln und zumindest zwischenzeitlich zu lagern, wobei die Puzzleunterlage zumindest bei Nicht - Gebrauch klein dimensioniert und platzsparend lagerbar sein soll. Außerdem soll eine entsprechende Vorrichtung zur Aufnahme eines Puzzles einfach aufgebaut und leicht herstellbar sein.It is therefore the object of the invention to overcome the problems of the prior art and to create a way of doing a jigsaw puzzle on a jigsaw puzzle pad and storing it at least temporarily, the jigsaw puzzle pad being small in size and storable in a space-saving manner, at least when not in use. In addition, a corresponding device for receiving a jigsaw puzzle should have a simple structure and be easy to manufacture.
Diese Aufgabe wird gelöst durch eine Vorrichtung mit den Merkmalen des Anspruchs 1 sowie einen Bilderrahmen mit den Merkmalen des Anspruchs 17. Vorteilhafte Ausgestaltungen sind Gegenstand der abhängigen Ansprüche.This object is achieved by a device having the features of
Die Erfindung schlägt eine Vorrichtung zur Aufnahme eines Puzzles, eine so genannte Puzzleunterlage mit einem flexiblen, insbesondere aufrollbaren Flächenelement vor, welches zur Lagerung des Puzzles dient, wie dies von den Puzzlematten bekannt ist. Allerdings beschränkt sich die Erfindung nicht darauf, sondern sieht mindestens ein, vorzugsweise mehrere Versteifungselemente vor, die zusammen mit dem Flächenelement so zusammenbaubar sind, dass die Vorrichtung von einem zerlegten Zustand mit einem flexibel verformbaren Flächenelement in einen plattenförmig stabilisierten Zustand des Flächenelements überführt wird, wobei die Versteifungselemente dazu dienen, das Flächenelement in einer ebenen, flachen Form zu stabilisieren. Entsprechend kombiniert die Erfindung die Vorteile einer Puzzlematte und einer stabilen Unterlage in Form eine Platte, wobei die erfindungsgemäße Vorrichtung zumindest während des Nicht - Gebrauchs, also wenn kein Puzzle gelegt oder gelagert wird, klein zusammenlegbar und von daher leicht transportierbar und lagerbar ist.The invention proposes a device for holding a jigsaw puzzle, a so-called jigsaw puzzle base with a flexible, in particular rollable surface element, which is used to store the jigsaw puzzle, as is known from jigsaw mats. However, the invention is not limited to this, but provides at least one, preferably several stiffening elements that can be assembled together with the surface element in such a way that the device is transferred from a disassembled state with a flexibly deformable surface element to a plate-shaped stabilized state of the surface element, wherein the stiffening elements serve to stabilize the surface element in an even, flat shape. Accordingly, the invention combines the advantages of a puzzle mat and a stable base in the form of a plate, the device according to the invention at least during the non - Use, i.e. when no puzzle is being put together or stored, can be folded up small and is therefore easy to transport and store.
Zumindest ein Teil der Versteifungselemente kann fest an dem Flächenelement angeordnet sein, da erst nach der Anordnung und / oder dem Zusammenbau der Versteifungselemente die Versteifung des Flächenelements bewirkt wird und das Flächenelement auch bei der festen Anordnung eines Teils der Versteifungselemente weiterhin rollbar und / oder faltbar ist.At least some of the stiffening elements can be fixed to the surface element, since the stiffening of the surface element is only effected after the arrangement and/or assembly of the stiffening elements and the surface element can still be rolled and/or folded even when some of the stiffening elements are fixed .
Alternativ oder zusätzlich kann ein Teil der Versteifungselemente in Aufnahmeelementen des Flächenelements angeordnet werden, wobei über die Aufnahmeelemente die Verbindung der Versteifungselemente zum Flächenelement gewährleistet wird, die für eine Versteifung des Flächenelements erforderlich ist.Alternatively or additionally, some of the stiffening elements can be arranged in receiving elements of the planar element, with the connection of the stiffening elements to the planar element being ensured via the receiving elements, which is necessary for stiffening the planar element.
Ein Versteifungselement kann mit einem oder mehreren anderen Versteifungselementen form - und / oder kraftschlüssig verbindbar sein und / oder zwei Enden eines Versteifungselements können form - und / oder kraftschlüssig verbindbar sein. Durch die Verbindung der Versteifungselemente kann ein Verbund geschaffen werden, durch den die Versteifung des Flächenelements verbessert wird.A stiffening element can be positively and/or non-positively connectable to one or more other stiffening elements and/or two ends of a stiffening element can be positively and/or non-positively connectable. By connecting the stiffening elements, a composite can be created through which the stiffening of the surface element is improved.
Die Vorrichtung kann weiterhin Versteifungselemente umfassen, die weder fest am Flächenelement noch in Aufnahmeelementen des Flächenelements angeordnet sind, sondern nur an einem oder mehreren benachbarten Versteifungselementen befestigt werden können.The device can further comprise stiffening elements which are neither arranged fixedly on the surface element nor in receiving elements of the surface element, but can only be fastened to one or more adjacent stiffening elements.
Die Versteifungselemente können alle gleich ausgebildet sein oder es können mehrere gleiche, aber auch unterschiedliche Versteifungselemente vorgesehen sein, oder alle Versteifungselemente sind zueinander unterschiedlich.The stiffening elements can all be of the same design or several stiffening elements that are the same or different can be provided, or all the stiffening elements are different from one another.
Die Vorrichtung kann auch reversibel von einem plattenförmig stabilisierten Zustand in einen zerlegten Zustand mit einem flexibel verformbaren Flächenelement zerlegbar sein, und zwar nicht nur nach dem Fertigstellen eines Puzzles oder allgemein nach der Beendigung des Gebrauchs, sondern auch während ein Puzzle gelegt wird, um das teilweise gelegte Puzzle wie bei den Puzzlematten zwischenlagern zu können. Dazu können die Versteifungselemente zumindest teilweise entfernt werden und das Flächenelement kann mit dem zumindest teilweise fertigen Puzzle auf eine Rolle gerollt werden. Entsprechend kann die Vorrichtung auch eine Rolle aufweisen.The device can also be reversibly dismantled from a plate-shaped stabilized state to a disassembled state with a flexibly deformable surface element, not only after completing a puzzle or generally after the end of use, but also while a puzzle is being placed around the partially to be able to temporarily store completed puzzles like the puzzle mats. For this purpose, the stiffening elements can be at least partially removed and the surface element can be at least partially finished with the Puzzle to be rolled onto a roll. Accordingly, the device can also have a roller.
Die Vorrichtung kann weiterhin so ausgebildet sein, dass diese nur dann in einem plattenförmig stabilisierten Zustand ist, wenn die Versteifungselemente und insbesondere alle Versteifungselemente untereinander form - und / oder kraftschlüssig verbunden sind.The device can also be designed in such a way that it is only in a plate-shaped stabilized state when the stiffening elements and in particular all stiffening elements are positively and/or non-positively connected to one another.
Das Flächenelement, das eine im Vergleich zu seiner Länge oder Breite oder seinem Durchmesser eine sehr viel kleinere Dicke aufweist, kann aus jedem geeigneten Material sein, wie z.B. aus flächenförmigen textilen Gebilden aus Natur - und Kunstfasern und Metallen, Gewebe, Gewirken, Gestricken, Geflechten, Nähgewirken, Vliesstoffen, Filzen, Gitter, Folien aus Metall und Kunststoff sowie Papier.The surface element, which has a much smaller thickness than its length or width or its diameter, can be made of any suitable material, such as flat textile structures made of natural and synthetic fibers and metals, woven fabrics, knitted fabrics, knitted fabrics, braids , stitch-bonded fabrics, non-woven fabrics, felts, grids, foils of metal and plastic, and paper.
Vorzugsweise ist das Flächenelement elastisch dehnbar, sodass das Flächenelement unter eine elastische Vorspannung setzbar ist, was der Versteifung zugute kommt.The planar element is preferably elastically extensible, so that the planar element can be placed under an elastic pretension, which is beneficial for the stiffening.
Das Aufnahmeelement des Flächenelements kann durch verschiedenste Komponenten gebildet sein, wobei diese lediglich eine Anordnung und Verbindung des Versteifungselements mit dem Flächenelement ermöglichen müssen. Entsprechend kommen Ösen, Laschen, Schläuche, Druccknöpfe, Nieten, Haken, Knöpfe, Schlitze, Öffnungen, Knopföffnungen und dergleichen in Frage.The receiving element of the planar element can be formed by a wide variety of components, these only having to enable the stiffening element to be arranged and connected to the planar element. Accordingly, eyelets, tabs, hoses, snaps, rivets, hooks, buttons, slits, openings, button openings and the like can be used.
Die Versteifungselemente können ebenfalls in unterschiedlichster Weise ausgebildet sein, beispielsweise als Stäbe, Teleskopstäbe, Stäbe mit Gewindeenden und / oder Gewindebohrungen, Hülsen, Gewindehülsen, Blöcke, quaderförmige Elemente mit komplementären Vorsprüngen und Aussparungen, Streifen und dergleichen.The stiffening elements can also be designed in a wide variety of ways, for example as rods, telescopic rods, rods with threaded ends and/or threaded bores, sleeves, threaded sleeves, blocks, cuboid elements with complementary projections and recesses, strips and the like.
Die Versteifungselemente können aus jedem geeigneten Material gefertigt sein, insbesondere Kunststoff, faserverstärktem Kunststoff, Metallen etc.The stiffening elements can be made of any suitable material, in particular plastic, fiber-reinforced plastic, metals, etc.
Die Versteifungselemente können vorzugsweise umlaufend am Rand des Flächenelements angeordnet sein, um einen steifen Rand auszubilden und das Flächenelement elastisch zu spannen.The stiffening elements can preferably be arranged circumferentially on the edge of the surface element in order to form a stiff edge and to stretch the surface element elastically.
Die Versteifungselemente können zur gegenseitigen Verbindung Form - und / oder Kraftschlusselemente aufweisen, insbesondere Haken, Ösen, Klemmelemente, Clip - Elemente, Vorsprünge, Aussparungen, Hinterschneidungen, Stifte, Zapfen, Sacklöcher, Hülsen, Kombinationen daraus und dergleichen.For mutual connection, the stiffening elements can have shaped and/or force-fitting elements, in particular hooks, eyelets, clamping elements, clip elements, projections, Recesses, undercuts, pins, tenons, blind holes, sleeves, combinations thereof and the like.
Nach einer Ausführungsform können auf einer Seite des Flächenelements beabstandet zueinander quader - oder streifenförmige oder winkelig ausgebildete Versteifungselemente mit entlang der Umfangsrichtung hervorstehenden Vorsprüngen befestigt sein und die Vorrichtung kann weiterhin komplementäre quader - oder streifenförmige Versteifungselemente mit in Umfangsrichtung ausgerichteten Aussparungen aufweisen, die in die Lücken zwischen den am Flächenelement befestigten Versteifungselementen einsetzbar sind, sodass das Flächenelement ohne die in die Lücken eingesetzten Versteifungselemente flexibel aufrollbar oder zusammenlegbar ist und mit eingesetzten Versteifungselementen im plattenförmig stabilisierten Zustand ist. Selbstverständlich ist auch eine umgekehrte Anordnung der Vorsprünge und Aussparungen möglich.According to one embodiment, cuboid or strip-shaped or angled stiffening elements with projections protruding in the circumferential direction can be fastened on one side of the surface element at a distance from one another, and the device can also have complementary cuboid or strip-shaped stiffening elements with recesses aligned in the circumferential direction, which fit into the gaps between the stiffening elements attached to the surface element can be used, so that the surface element can be rolled up or folded up flexibly without the stiffening elements inserted into the gaps and is in the plate-shaped stabilized state with the stiffening elements inserted. A reverse arrangement of the projections and recesses is of course also possible.
Darüber hinaus kann die Vorrichtung mindestens ein, vorzugsweise mehrere Rahmenelemente aufweisen, die mit dem Flächenelement und / oder den Versteifungselementen verbindbar sind und den Rand des Flächenelements abdecken, sodass die Vorrichtung auch zur dauerhaften Aufbewahrung und Präsentation des Puzzles dienen kann.In addition, the device can have at least one, preferably several, frame elements that can be connected to the surface element and/or the stiffening elements and cover the edge of the surface element, so that the device can also be used for permanent storage and presentation of the puzzle.
Hierzu können die Rahmenelemente so ausgebildet sein, dass sie klemmend auf die Versteifungselemente aufgeclipst werden können. Andere Arten der Befestigung der Rahmenelemente an dem Flächenelement und / oder den Versteifungselementen sind ebenfalls denkbar.For this purpose, the frame elements can be designed in such a way that they can be clipped onto the stiffening elements in a clamping manner. Other types of attachment of the frame elements to the surface element and/or the stiffening elements are also conceivable.
Entsprechend wird unabhängig und in Kombination mit der Vorrichtung zur Aufnahme eines Puzzles ein Bilderrahmen für ein Puzzle vorgeschlagen, welcher eine Puzzleunterlage nutzt, die zum Legen des Puzzles ausgebildet ist und weiterhin so ausgebildet ist, dass die Puzzleunterlage mit einem Rahmen verbindbar ist, sodass die Puzzleunterlage Teil des Rahmens wird und dauerhaft für die Aufbewahrung und Präsentation des Puzzles genutzt wird. Dies ist auch mit Puzzleunterlagen möglich, die anders als die vorher beschriebene Vorrichtung zur Aufnahme eines Puzzles keine Versteifungselemente aufweisen oder nicht flexibel sind.Accordingly, independently and in combination with the device for holding a puzzle, a picture frame for a puzzle is proposed, which uses a puzzle base that is designed to lay the puzzle and is further designed so that the puzzle base can be connected to a frame, so that the puzzle base Becomes part of the frame and is used permanently to store and display the puzzle. This is also possible with jigsaw puzzle bases which, unlike the previously described jigsaw puzzle holding device, do not have any stiffening elements or are not flexible.
Zur Präsentation eines im Bilderrahmen aufgenommenen Puzzles kann der Rahmen oder die Puzzleunterlage einen Aufhänger zum Aufhängen an der Wand oder einen Ständer aufweisen.To display a jigsaw puzzle held in the picture frame, the frame or jigsaw puzzle base may have a hanger for hanging on the wall or a stand.
