Description

The invention relates to a device according to the preamble of claim 1. Such a structure is, for example, a tie, a ribbon or a cloth.

The most diverse devices for holding two sections of a tie are known, for example from DE-PSn 545 774 and 587 125. These devices, also known as knot sleeves for self-tie ties, have a visible front part which is connected to an underlying rear part. Such devices are designed as sleeves or with rolled-up edges of the front part sleeve-like. The sections of the tie are simply pulled through these devices. In one case, such a device is equipped with a partition, the ends of which are crossed by 90 ° to one another in order to guide the sections of the tie in the device. The disadvantage of these devices is that they do not ensure a secure hold, but rather detach themselves during wear. Furthermore, they do not ensure smooth alignment of the tie. Rather, the tie-wadding sections are pressed together in the devices and form unsightly folds, which moreover leads to the crumpling of the ties, which further complicates subsequent tying of the ties.

The object of the invention is to design a device of the type mentioned at the outset so that the disadvantages described do not occur.

This object is achieved in a device of the type mentioned by the characterizing features of claim 1. Because the rear part of the device is designed as a frame formed from rods, the sections of an elongated structure can be formed in the ver5

various ways are looped around the rods, so that a looping of the sections of the structure is possible. Nevertheless, the sections can be carried out smoothly in a final layer between the rear part and the front part, so that a smooth, crease-free position of the sections is possible. The looping of the sections on the rear part ensures that slipping is no longer possible, so that the elongated structure is also perfectly seated after long periods of wear.

Advantageous embodiments of the device are described in claims 2 to 24.

An embodiment of the device according to claim 2 is particularly advantageous. An upper cross bar enables the elongated structures to be looped over this cross bar and guided smoothly downward. In this way, the sections lie smoothly over the entire device, so that the front part can be designed openwork and the view of the smooth-lying sections of the elongated structure is made possible. This enables particularly advantageous effects to be achieved. The lower cross bar also serves to fix the flat sections.

An embodiment of the device according to claim 3 facilitates the looping of the sections of the elongated structure.

Claims 4 to 11 describe various configurations of the device, which can develop their advantages depending on the looping of the elongated structure and depending on the arrangement of the device.

The design of the device according to claim 12 enables the two sections of the elongated structure not to be led out of the device one above the other but to the left and right of the connecting web.

The configuration of the device according to claim 13 is advantageous if the two sections of the elongate structure are to be led out of the device one above the other. The lateral connecting webs increase the guidance and the retention of the sections in the device. Claim 14 describes a particularly robust embodiment of the device.

The embodiment according to claim 15 provides the advantage that, for example, when the device is arranged on a shirt collar, this can be arranged in the slot between the connecting web and the front part of the device, as a result of which mutual support between the collar and the device is possible. An embodiment of the device according to claim 16 is very advantageous, so that it is possible to provide the device with a wide variety of additional parts. Such additional parts can either be fixed or releasably connected to the device. A firm connection results, for example, by gluing, welding or soldering or even by molding the additional part. Particularly advantageous detachable devices are described in claims 17 to 19.

According to claim 20, the additional part can be, for example, a crossbar which has laterally projecting arms. The crossbar can optionally be used to bind the structure. The arms protruding to the side allow a shirt collar to be held down.

The additional parts can have a wide variety of shapes and serve a wide variety of tasks. For example, the additional parts can have a purely decorative character in order to give the device a corresponding appearance. However, the additional parts can also perform useful functions, for example a magnifying glass can be arranged on the front part, which not only gives the pattern of the underlying structure a special effect, but can also be removed and unfold useful functions. An embodiment of the additional part according to claim 21 is particularly advantageous, wherein money and other valuables can be safely stored and carried in such a container. Such a container can also be used to hold medication. Finally, it is possible to accommodate all kinds of rescue and survival utensils in such a container. Furthermore, the additional part can also be used to record the personal data, such as address, date of birth, blood type, etc., of the wearer of the device.

A further advantageous embodiment of the device describes claim 22. By means of the clamp it is possible to detachably attach a napkin to the device.

The device can consist of a wide variety of materials and can be produced in a wide variety of ways. For example, the device can be made of plastic or metal by injection molding. A particularly simple design and manufacture is made possible by the embodiment of the device according to claim 23. An embodiment according to claim 24 is advantageous here, wherein the recesses lying next to one another or one above the other can serve, for example, for guiding and holding a section of the elongate structure.

As already mentioned, the device is suitable for a wide variety of elongated structures. However, it is particularly advantageous for tying ties and scarves.

Figures la to lc show a device for looping two sections 2, 4 of an elongated structure, i.e. in the present case a tie. The device contains a front part 6, which is designed as a square, rectangular frame and is connected to a rear part 10 via four connecting webs 8. The rear part 10 is designed as an X-shaped frame with an upper crossbar 12 and a lower crossbar 14, between which connecting rods 16 are arranged in an X-shape. According to the looped pattern of FIG. 1c, the sections 2, 4 of the elongated structure are first looped backwards from the front via the connecting rods 16 and then placed forward over the upper transverse rod 12 and guided downwards between the rear part 10 and the front part 6. The lower cross bar 14 serves as a further guide, the lower connecting webs 8 preventing the superimposed sections 2, 4 from slipping out laterally. The device is located under the collar ends 18 and, as can be seen from FIG. 1b, is extremely flat for this purpose.

Figures 2a to 2c show a device which corresponds to that of Figures la to lc. While the connecting webs 8 at the lower end of the device correspond to those of the device of Figures la to lc, the upper connecting webs 20 are cranked and each have a portion 22 which runs parallel to the front part 6 and forms a laterally open slot 24. Parts of the collar ends are pushed into these slots 24, so that the front part 6 lies over the collar ends 18. A possible entanglement pattern of sections 2, 4 can be seen from FIG. 2c.

FIGS. 3a to 3c show a third device which contains an essentially triangular front part 26 which stands on a tip of the triangle. On the upper part of the front part 26, two cranked connecting webs 20 are in turn arranged, which establish the connection to the rear part 28, which is also designed as a triangular frame. This frame is also on the top of a triangle. This device, in which the front part 26 is only connected to the rear part 28 via two upper connecting webs 20, is arranged on the collar ends 18 such that they engage in the slots 24 which are formed by the connecting webs 20 with the front part 26. FIG. 3c shows a possible entanglement pattern of sections 2, 4 of the elongated structure.

FIGS. 4a to 4c show a further device in which both the front part 30 and the rear part 32 are diamond-shaped. The diamond-shaped device stands on a tip of the diamond. The front part 30 and the rear part 32 are connected to one another at their four corners via simple connecting webs 8. Sections 2, 4 of the elongated structure, which in the present case is again a tie, are bound in accordance with the loop pattern of FIG. 4 c in such a way that the sections are led out separately from the device.

FIGS. 5a to 5c show a further device in which the front part 34 is formed from individual rods which are arranged in the form of a triangle standing on the tip, but do not touch. An upper rod 36 is connected to the frame of the rear part 40 via two cranked connecting webs 20. The lateral bars 38, on the other hand, are each connected to the rear part 40 only via a cranked connecting web 20. The rods 36, 38 of the front part 34 are held by the rear part 40 via the corresponding connecting webs 20. The rear part 40 also has an approximately triangular shape, the upper corners being cut off. Accordingly, an upper cross bar 12 is connected via connecting bars 42 to the side bars 44, which converge downward. The bent connecting webs 20 in turn form slots 24 into which the collar ends 18 are inserted. FIG. 5c shows a loop pattern for the sections 2, 4 of the elongated structure, which is finally led out of the device lying one above the other.

FIGS. 6a to 6c show a further device in which the front part 46 is designed as a five-sided frame which stands on the tip. The upper rod 48 of the frame is connected to the rear part 50 via cranked connecting webs 20. Furthermore, the underlying corners of the frame are connected to the rear part 50 via normal connecting webs 8. The latter has an upper cross bar 12 and a lower cross bar 14, which are connected to one another by X-shaped connecting webs 16. In the present example, the sections 2, 4 of the elongated structure designed as a tie are looped over the rear part 50 in accordance with the loop pattern of FIG. 6c in such a way that the sections 2, 4 are led out of the device lying side by side. The collar ends 18 engage in the slots 24 which are formed between the bent connecting webs 20 and the front part 46.

FIGS. 7a to 7c show a further device in which the front part 54 is designed as a trapezoidal frame. The configuration is such that the lateral bars 56 of the front part 54 cover the edges of the collar ends 18. The upper rod 58 of the front part 54 is provided with bent connecting webs 20, which establish the connection to a rear part 60. Furthermore, the front part 54 is connected to the rear part 60 at the lower corners via simple connecting webs 8. The latter consists of a square, rectangular frame, the upper cross bar 12 is connected via lateral connecting rods 62 to a lower connecting rod 14. In addition, there are two further connecting rods 64 which run from the lower corners of the frame of the rear part 60 to the center of the upper cross rod 12. The binding pattern of FIG. 7c shows that the sections 2, 4 of the elongated structure are essentially looped over the additional connecting rods 64 and are then led out parallel and side by side downward out of the device via the upper transverse rod 12. The connecting webs 8.20 serve as lateral guides for the sections 2.4.
