Besonders bevorzugt besteht die Flächeneinheit aus Polyethylen oder aus Polypropylen.The surface unit may consist of any material. The surface unit is preferably made of a plastic material. Particularly preferably, the surface unit consists of polyethylene or polypropylene.
Vorzugsweise ist die Flächeneinheit aus einem Material gestaltet, welches im wesentlichen reißfest ist.Preferably, the surface unit is made of a material which is substantially tear-resistant.
Die Flächeneinheit ist starr oder flexibel, insbesondere elastisch, gestaltet.The surface unit is rigid or flexible, in particular elastic, designed.
Vorzugsweise ist die Flächeneinheit aus einem im wesentlichen durchsichtigen oder milchigem oder undurchsichtigem Material gefertigt.Preferably, the surface unit is made of a substantially transparent or milky or opaque material.
Insbesondere bei Verwendung eines durchsichtigen oder (optisch) milchigem Materials ist die Flächeneinheit derart gestaltet, daß die Konturen der Verstärkungsrippen auf der anderen Seite des Grundkörpers erkennbar sind.In particular, when using a transparent or (optically) milky material, the surface unit is designed such that the contours of the reinforcing ribs on the other side of the body can be seen.
Besonders bevorzugt weist die Flächeneinheit auf einer Seite Verstärkungsrippen auf und ist auf der anderen Seite nicht mit Verstärkungsrippen versehen, wobei diese andere Seite glatt oder auf sonstige Weise gestaltet ist. Besonders bevorzugt ist diese andere Seite aus einem Material gefertigt oder mit einer Schicht versehen, welche ein sogenanntes Soft-touch-Empfinden bewirkt.Particularly preferably, the surface unit on one side of reinforcing ribs and is not provided on the other side with reinforcing ribs, this other side is smooth or otherwise designed. Particularly preferably, this other side is made of a material or provided with a layer which causes a so-called soft-touch sensation.
Die Erfindung soll durch die beispielhaften und bevorzugten Ausführungsformen nicht beschränkt werden.The invention is not to be limited by the exemplary and preferred embodiments.
Im folgenden wird die Erfindung nun anhand der Figur näher beschrieben, wodurch die Erfindung nicht beschränkt werden soll.In the following the invention will now be described in detail with reference to the figure, whereby the invention should not be limited.
Dabei zeigt:

- a first exemplary embodiment of the invention in a schematic representation.
Fig. 1 zeigt eine Flächeneinheit 1, welche hohlhalbkugelförmig gestaltet ist.Fig. 1 shows a surface unit 1, which is designed in a hollow hemispherical shape.
Die Außenoberfläche 10 der Flächeneinheit 1 ist im wesentlichen glatt und/oder eben gestaltet und gegebenenfalls aus einem Material gefertigt bzw. weist gegebenenfalls ein Material auf, welches einen sogenannten Soft-touch bewirkt.The
Die Flächeneinheit 1 weist einen Grundkörper 11 auf sowie auf der Innenoberfläche 12 dieses Grundkörpers 11 angeordnete Verstärkungsrippen 14, welche durch Zwischenräume 16 voneinander beabstandet sind. Die Verstärkungsrippen 14 sind in Fig. 1 durch jeweils mehrere, insbesondere vier, gestrichelte, gering beabstandete und nebeneinander angeordnete Linien angedeutet, während die Zwischenräume 16 in Fig. 1 durch die jeweils zwischen diesen Linienbündeln angeordneten weißen Flächen angedeutet sind.The surface unit 1 has a base body 11 and on the
Ein erster Teil 18 der Verstärkungsrippen 14 ist einer ersten Gruppe zugeordnet und ein zweiter Teil 20 der Verstärkungsrippen 14 ist einer zweiten Gruppe zugeordnet.A
Die Verstärkungsrippen 14, die der ersten Gruppe zugeordnet sind, erstrecken sich jeweils halbkreisförmig und parallel zueinander. Die Verstärkungsrippen 14, die der zweiten Gruppe zugeordnet sind, erstrecken sich ebenfalls jeweils halbkreisförmig und parallel zueinander. Die jeweiligen Ebenen, in denen die Verstärkungsrippen 14 der ersten Gruppe angeordnet sind verlaufen im wesentlichen senkrecht zu den jeweiligen Ebenen, in welchen die Verstärkungsrippen 14 der zweiten Gruppe angeordnet sind.The reinforcing
Die Verstärkungsrippen 14 sind derart gestaltet, daß entlang der zentralen Achse 22 in der durch den Pfeil 24 angedeuteten Tiefenrichtung im wesentlichen keine Hinterschneidungen gegeben sind, so daß die Flächeneinheit 1 im Rahmen der Fertigung in Richtung des Pfeils 24 von einer die Innenoberfläche 12 erzeugenden Form bewegt bzw. entfernt werden kann. Gegebenenfalls sind im Bereich des kreisförmigen Endes 26 der Flächeneinheit 1 Hinterscheidungen gegeben.The reinforcing
