Abstract
Description
Die vorliegende Erfindung betrifft ein manuelles Schneidesystem mit einer Schneideschablone und einem separaten Schneidewerkzeug mit einer um eine in Längsrichtung verlaufende Rotationsachse drehbar gelagerten Schneideklinge. Weiter betrifft die Erfindung die Verwendung eines manuellen Schneidesystems zum Ausschneiden eines Materialabschnittes aus einer Materialbahn für wegwerfbare OP-Materialien, wie OP-Abdeckungen, insbesondere Patientenabdeckungen und/oder Instrumentenabdeckungen, Kombinationen und/oder OP-Bekleidung, insbesondere OP-Mäntel. Weiter betrifft die Erfindung ein Verfahren zur Fertigung von wegwerfbaren OP-Materialien mit zumindest einem Lochausschnitt.The present invention relates to a manual cutting system with a cutting template and a separate cutting tool with a cutting blade rotatably mounted about a longitudinal axis of rotation. Furthermore, the invention relates to the use of a manual cutting system for cutting a material section from a material web for disposable surgical materials, such as surgical covers, in particular patient covers and / or instrument covers, combinations and / or surgical clothing, in particular surgical gowns. Furthermore, the invention relates to a method for the production of disposable surgical materials with at least one hole cutout.
Im Bereich der wegwerfbaren OP-Materialien, wie OP-Abdeckungen, insbesondere Patienten- und/oder Instrumentenabdeckungen und/oder OP-Bekleidung, insbesondere OP-Mänteln ist das Ausschneiden von Materialabschnitten aus den Materialbahnen zur Erzeugung von Lochausschnitten, welche im fertigen Produkt funktional, so u.a. als Öffnungen für das spätere OP-Eingriffsfeld oder zum Durchführen von Gliedmaßen, oder auch als Ausschnitte für Ärmel bzw. für Halsschnitte in OP-Mänteln vorgesehen sein können, ein oftmals wesentlicher Verfahrensschritt.In the field of disposable surgical materials, such as surgical drapes, in particular patient and / or instrument covers and / or surgical clothing, in particular surgical gowns, the cutting out of material sections from the material webs to produce hole cut-outs, which are functional in the finished product, among others can be provided as openings for the subsequent surgical intervention field or for performing limbs, or as cutouts for sleeves or for neck cuts in surgical gowns, an often essential process step.
Zum Einbringen von Lochausschnitten in derartige wegwerfbare OP-Materialien werden in den Fertigungsstrecken bekannterweise Stanzapparate eingesetzt. So können diese Stanzvorrichtungen im Fertigungsprozess stationär festgelegt sein und den Lochausschnitt an einer definierten Position durch Zueinanderbewegen eines Stanzmessers und der Gegenschablone und die dazwischen geführte Materialbahn erhalten werden, wie es beispielsweise in der
Derartige Stanzapparate können in Fertigungsstraßen für die massenhafte Herstellung von wegwerfbaren OP-Materialien in nur einer einzigen Ausführungsform, im Sinne der gleichbleibenden Positionierung des Lochausschnittes bzw. auch dessen gleichbleibender Größe und Kontur vorteilhaft eingesetzt werden.Such punching devices can be used advantageously in production lines for the mass production of disposable surgical materials in a single embodiment, in terms of the constant positioning of the hole cutout or even its constant size and contour.
Es wurde jedoch erkannt, dass bei der Fertigung von OP-Materialien, die unterschiedlichen individuellen Bedürfnissen angepasst sind, der Einsatz derartiger Stanzvorrichtungen eher nachteilig sind: Zum einen besteht bei unterschiedlichen Lochausschnittgrößen bzw. -formen der Bedarf an häufigem Wechsel der Stanzschablonen, also deren Einbau und Ausbau, was zeitaufwändig ist. Auch die Repositionierung eines Stanzapparates zur Anpassung an die gewünschte Positionierung des Lochausschnitts in der vorgelegten Materialbahn ist oftmals eher unhandlich und kann oftmals aufgrund des schweren Gewichtes nur unter Einsatz mehrerer Personen bewerkstelligt werden. Es wurde erkannt, dass ein derartiger Fertigungsschritt zum Erhalt von Lochausschnitten nicht für jeden Fertigungsprozess von OP-Materialien vorteilhaft ist, sondern bei individuell angelegten Fertigungsprozessen die Prozessgeschwindigkeit vielmehr ausbremst und damit nicht mehr effizient ist.However, it was recognized that in the manufacture of surgical materials that are adapted to different individual needs, the use of such punching devices are rather disadvantageous: Firstly, there is a need for frequent hole cutting sizes or shapes of frequent change of punching templates, ie their installation and expansion, which is time consuming. Also, the repositioning of a punching device to adapt to the desired positioning of the hole cut in the submitted material web is often rather unwieldy and can often be accomplished only by using several people due to the heavy weight. It has been recognized that such a manufacturing step for obtaining hole cutouts is not advantageous for every manufacturing process of surgical materials, but rather slows down the process speed in individually created manufacturing processes and is thus no longer efficient.
Zum Ausschneiden von Materialabschnitten aus Materialbahnen sind neben Stanzapparaten auch andere Möglichkeiten bekannt. So zeigt die
Ein ähnlich funktionierendes Schneidesystem ist aus der
Der Erfindung liegt die Aufgabe zu Grunde, Verfahren zur Fertigung von OP-Materialien, welche einen Fertigungsschritt zur Einbringung von Lochausschnitten in die Materialbahn aufweisen, dahingehend zu verbessern, dass eine hohe Flexibilität der Fertigungslinie bereitgestellt wird. Dieser Fertigungsschritt sollte dabei mit einfachen und preiswerten Mitteln durchgeführt werden.The object of the invention is to improve methods for producing surgical materials which have a production step for introducing hole cutouts into the material web in such a way that a high flexibility of the production line is provided. This manufacturing step should be carried out with simple and inexpensive means.
Diese Aufgabe wird erfindungsgemäß gelöst durch ein manuelles Schneidesystem mit den Merkmalen gemäß Anspruch 1, dessen Verwendung nach Anspruch 12 und durch ein Verfahren mit Schneiden nach Anspruch 14.This object is achieved by a manual cutting system with the features of claim 1, its use according to
Vorteilhafte Weiterbildungen ergeben sich aus den jeweiligen Unteransprüchen.Advantageous developments emerge from the respective subclaims.
Zur Lösung dieser Aufgabe wird ein manuelles Schneidesystem zum Ausschneiden eines Materialabschnittes aus einer Materialbahn für wegwerfbare OP-Materialien, wie OP-Abdeckungen, insbesondere Patienten- und/oder Instrumentenabdeckungen und/oder OP-Bekleidung, insbesondere OP-Mänteln vorgeschlagen, wobei das manuelle Schneidesystem zumindest eine Schneideschablone und ein separates Schneidewerkzeug umfasst. Die Schneideschablone weist dabei eine innere Wandung auf, welche eine Ausnehmung umgibt. Das Schneidewerkzeug weist eine um eine in Längsrichtung verlaufende Rotationsachse drehbar gelagerte Schneideklinge und einen Griff auf, wobei der Griff als eine die Rotationsachse umgebende zylindrische Griffhülse mit einer äußeren Wandung ausgebildet ist. Für das vorteilhafte Zusammenwirken der beiden Komponenten Schneideschablone und Schneidewerkzeug im Anwendungsvorgang ist bedeutsam, dass die Schneideklinge in einer Arbeitsposition sich über ein unteres Ende der Griffhülse lediglich so weit hinaus erstreckt, dass die innere Wandung der Schneideschablone beim Schneidevorgang einen Anschlag für die äußere Wandung der Griffhülse bilden kann.To solve this problem, a manual cutting system for cutting a material portion of a material web for disposable surgical materials, such as surgical covers, in particular patient and / or instrument covers and / or surgical clothing, in particular surgical gowns proposed, wherein the manual cutting system at least one cutting template and a separate cutting tool comprises. The cutting template in this case has an inner wall which surrounds a recess. The cutting tool has a cutting blade rotatably mounted about a longitudinal axis of rotation and a handle, wherein the handle is formed as a cylindrical grip sleeve surrounding the rotation axis with an outer wall. For the advantageous interaction of the two components cutting template and cutting tool in the application process is significant that the cutting blade in a working position extends beyond a lower end of the grip sleeve only so far out that the inner wall of the cutting template during cutting a stop for the outer wall of the grip sleeve can form.
Das separate Schneidewerkzeug mit der rotierbaren Schneideklinge kann individuell inmitten der Schneideschablone auf das dann zum Schneiden vorgesehene Material angesetzt und dann mit manueller Kraft an die innere Wandung und entlang dieser Wandung der Schneideschablone geführt werden. Es bedarf somit keiner genauen Positionierung des Schneidewerkzeugs innerhalb der Schneideschablone.The separate cutting tool with the rotatable cutting blade can be individually set in the middle of the cutting template on the material then intended for cutting and then with manual force to the inner wall and along this wall of the Cutting template are performed. Thus, it does not require accurate positioning of the cutting tool within the cutting template.
Das Schneidewerkzeug ist in dieser einfachen Ausführung kostengünstig. Weiter ist das Schneidewerkzeug dabei mit mehreren unterschiedlichen Schneideschablonen kombinierbar, solange die Schneideklinge in einer Arbeitsposition sich über ein unteres Ende der Griffhülse lediglich so weit hinaus erstreckt, dass die innere Wandung der Schneideschablone beim Schneidevorgang einen Anschlag für die äußere Wandung der Griffhülse bilden kann. Damit stellt dieses manuelle Schneidesystem eine hohe Flexibilität bereit.The cutting tool is inexpensive in this simple design. Further, the cutting tool can be combined with several different cutting templates, as long as the cutting blade in a working position extends beyond a lower end of the grip sleeve only so far out that the inner wall of the cutting template can form a stop for the outer wall of the grip sleeve during cutting. This manual cutting system provides high flexibility.
In einer besonders vorteilhaften Ausführungsform umfasst das manuelle Schneidesystem daher mehrere Schneideschablonen, welche sich in Größe und/oder Kontur der Ausnehmung unterscheiden.In a particularly advantageous embodiment, therefore, the manual cutting system comprises a plurality of cutting templates, which differ in size and / or contour of the recess.
In Weiterbildung der Erfindung ist die zylindrische Griffhülse des Schneidewerkzeugs einstückig ausgebildet.In a further development of the invention, the cylindrical grip sleeve of the cutting tool is integrally formed.
Die Griffhülse umfasst oder besteht vorzugweise aus polymeren Materialien, wie insbesondere Hartkunststoffe, wie beispielsweise Aminoplaste, Phenoplaste, vernetzte Polyacrylate, Epoxidharze.The grip sleeve comprises or consists preferably of polymeric materials, such as in particular hard plastics, such as aminoplasts, phenolic resins, crosslinked polyacrylates, epoxy resins.
Die Griffhülse weist eine Länge in Längsrichtung von vorzugsweise mindestens 10 cm, weiter vorzugsweise mindestens 11 cm, weiter vorzugsweise von höchstens 16 cm, weiter vorzugsweise von höchstens 15 cm, weiter vorzugsweise von höchstens 14 cm auf. Mit dieser Länge der Griffhülse kann die Griffhülse in deren Längsrichtung gut von der gesamten Hand des Anwenders umgriffen werden, was im Benutzungszustand vorteilhaft für eine gute Führung des Schneidewerkzeugs ist.The grip sleeve has a length in the longitudinal direction of preferably at least 10 cm, more preferably at least 11 cm, more preferably at most 16 cm, further preferably at most 15 cm, further preferably at most 14 cm. With this length of the grip sleeve, the grip sleeve in the longitudinal direction can be well embraced by the entire hand of the user, which is advantageous in the state of use for a good guidance of the cutting tool.
Beim Schneidevorgang bzw. in der Arbeitsposition wird das Scheidewerkzeug mit seiner Längsrichtung im Wesentlichen parallel zur inneren Wandung der Schneideschablone geführt.During cutting or in the working position, the cutting tool is guided with its longitudinal direction substantially parallel to the inner wall of the cutting template.
Die Griffhülse ist erfindungsgemäß derart ausgebildet und angeordnet, dass die Schneideklinge in der Arbeitsposition sich über das untere Ende der Griffhülse nur soweit hinaus erstreckt, dass beim Schneiden der Kontakt zwischen innerer Wandung der Schneideschablone und äußerer Wandung der Griffhülse hergestellt werden kann, dass also die innere Wandung der Schneideschablone beim Schneidevorgang einen Anschlag für die äußere Wandung der Griffhülse bilden kann.The grip sleeve according to the invention is designed and arranged such that the cutting blade in the working position extends beyond the lower end of the grip sleeve only to the extent that when cutting the contact between the inner wall of the cutting template and outer wall of the grip sleeve can be made, that is the inner Wall of the cutting template during the cutting process can form a stop for the outer wall of the grip sleeve.
Die innere Wandung der Griffhülse erstreckt sich im Wesentlichen senkrecht über eine Höhe H zwischen einer Ober- und einer Unterseite der Schablone. Vorzugsweise erstreckt sich die Schneideklinge in der Arbeitsposition über das untere Ende der Griffhülse soweit hinaus, dass in der Arbeitsposition der Schneideklinge bzw. beim Schneidevorgang mindestens 50% der Höhe der inneren Wandung einen Anschlag für die äußere Wandung der Griffhülse bilden kann.The inner wall of the grip sleeve extends substantially perpendicularly over a height H between an upper and a lower side of the template. Preferably, the cutting blade extends in the working position beyond the lower end of the grip sleeve so far that in the working position of the cutting blade or during cutting at least 50% of the height of the inner wall can form a stop for the outer wall of the grip sleeve.
Die Schneideklinge weist dabei ein oberes, für die Befestigung an der Rotationsachse vorgesehenes Ende und ein unteres, für das Schneiden vorgesehenes Ende mit einer Spitze auf. Das untere Ende der Schneideklinge bzw. die Spitze der Schneideklinge ist dabei nicht in der Flucht der Rotationsachse angeordnet, sondern ist von der Rotationsachse versetzt angeordnet. Damit kann sich die um eine in eine Längsrichtung verlaufende Rotationsachse drehbare gelagerte Schneideklinge beim Schneidevorgang in die durch den Anwender gewählte Führungsrichtung ausrichten.The cutting blade has an upper, provided for attachment to the axis of rotation end and a lower, provided for cutting end with a tip. The lower end of the cutting blade or the tip of the cutting blade is not arranged in alignment with the axis of rotation, but is offset from the axis of rotation. Thus, the mounted about a longitudinal axis of rotation in a rotatable mounted cutting blade during the cutting process in the direction selected by the user guide.
Die Schneideklinge ist dabei vorzugsweise in Form einer Skalpelklinge ausgebildet. Die Schneideklinge weist vorzugsweise ausgehend von der Spitze des unteren Endes eine bogenförmige Flanke auf.The cutting blade is preferably designed in the form of a scalpel blade. The cutting blade preferably has an arcuate edge starting from the tip of the lower end.
Erfindungsgemäß umgibt die zylindrische Griffhülse die Rotationsachse des Schneidewerkzeugs. Die Griffhülse mit ihrer äußeren Wandung weist dabei an ihrem unteren Ende einen äußeren Durchmesser D auf. Die zylindrische Griffhülse bildet damit in der Arbeitsposition einen Abstandshalter zwischen der drehbar gelagerten Schneideklinge und der inneren Wandung der Schneideschablone. Entsprechend weist die Schnittlinie einen Abstand A von der inneren Wandung der Schneideschablone auf. Dies ist vorteilhaft, da die Schneideschablone vor einem Abschürfen mittels der Schneideklinge geschützt werden kann, und damit das Verschmutzen des zu schneidenden Materials vermieden wird. Insbesondere bei OP-Materialien müssen Verschmutzungen, z. Bsp. durch freie Partikel, vermieden werden.According to the invention, the cylindrical grip sleeve surrounds the axis of rotation of the cutting tool. The grip sleeve with its outer wall has an outer diameter D at its lower end. The cylindrical grip sleeve thus forms in the working position a spacer between the rotatably mounted cutting blade and the inner wall of the cutting template. Accordingly, the cutting line has a distance A from the inner wall of the cutting template. This is advantageous because the cutting template can be protected from being scrapped by the cutting blade, thus avoiding soiling of the material to be cut. Especially with surgical materials must contamination, eg. Eg by free particles, be avoided.
Dieser Abstand A beträgt vorzugsweise die Hälfte des äußeren Durchmessers D des unteren Endes des Griffhülse.This distance A is preferably half of the outer diameter D of the lower end of the grip sleeve.
Der Abstand A beträgt vorzugsweise höchstens 30 mm, weiter vorzugsweise höchstens 25 mm, weiter vorzugsweise höchstens 20 mm. In diesem Abstand kann das zu schneidende Material noch gut mit der Schneideschablone fixiert werden und damit flächenhafte Verfältungen der Materialbahn vermieden werden, so dass eine saubere Schnittlinie erreicht wird. Der Abstand A beträgt vorzugsweise mindestens 5 mm, weiter vorzugsweise mindestens 7 mm, weiter vorzugsweise 10 mm.The distance A is preferably at most 30 mm, more preferably at most 25 mm, more preferably at most 20 mm. At this distance, the material to be cut can still be fixed well with the cutting template and thus areawise deforestations of the material web can be avoided, so that a clean cutting line is achieved. The distance A is preferably at least 5 mm, more preferably at least 7 mm, more preferably 10 mm.
Der äußere Durchmesser D der zylindrischen Griffhülse ist vorteilhaft so gewählt, dass auch im Bereich, der für das Umgreifen der Griffhülse mit der Hand vorgesehen ist, die Griffhülse gut mit einer Hand des Anwenders, vorzugsweise weitgehend vollumfänglich umgriffen werden kann. Vorzugsweise weist die Griffhülse einen äußeren Durchmesser D von mindestens 10 mm, weiter vorzugsweise von 20 mm, weiter vorzugsweise von höchstens 60 mm, weiter vorzugsweise von höchstens 50 mm, weiter vorzugsweise von höchstens 40 mm auf. Mit diesem äußeren Durchmesser der Griffhülse kann die Griffhülse gut von der gesamten Hand des Anwenders umgriffen werden, was im Benutzungszustand vorteilhaft für eine gute Führung des Schneidewerkzeugs ist.The outer diameter D of the cylindrical grip sleeve is advantageously chosen so that even in the region which is provided for grasping the grip sleeve by hand, the grip sleeve can be gripped well with one hand of the user, preferably substantially full circumference. Preferably, the grip sleeve has an outer diameter D of at least 10 mm, more preferably 20 mm, more preferably at most 60 mm, further preferably at most 50 mm, further preferably at most 40 mm. With this outer diameter of the grip sleeve, the grip sleeve can be well encompassed by the entire hand of the user, which is advantageous in the state of use for a good guidance of the cutting tool.
Die Rotationsachse ermöglicht vorzugsweise eine vollumfängliche Drehung der Schneideklinge, also eine Drehung um 360°.The axis of rotation preferably allows a full rotation of the cutting blade, so a rotation of 360 °.
Das Schneidewerkzeug Ist vorzugsweise im Inneren der Griffhülse mit zumindest einem Wälzlager, insbesondere einem Radiallager, insbesondere einem Kugellager ausgestattet. Mit Wälzlagern kann vorteilhaft eine reibungsarme Drehbarbarkeit um die Rotationsachse erreicht werden.The cutting tool is preferably equipped in the interior of the grip sleeve with at least one rolling bearing, in particular a radial bearing, in particular a ball bearing. With rolling bearings advantageously a low-friction rotatability can be achieved around the axis of rotation.
Vorzugsweise sind im Schneidewerkzeug zwei Wälzlager vorgesehen, welche auf einer Welle In einem Abstand voneinander montiert sind, wobei die Welle drehbar um die Rotationsachse gelagert ist. Beim Einsatz von zwei Wälzlagern können somit vorteilhafterweise kleinere Wälzlager eingesetzt werden, welche über den Abstand eine stabile Halterung an der Welle ermöglichen.Preferably, two rolling bearings are provided in the cutting tool, which are mounted on a shaft at a distance from each other, wherein the shaft is rotatably mounted about the rotation axis. When using two rolling bearings thus advantageously smaller rolling bearings can be used, which allow a stable support on the shaft over the distance.
Bei einer Ausstattung des Schneidewerkzeugs mit zwei Wälzlagern werden diese beiden Wälzlager vorzugsweise durch Vorsprünge im Inneren der Griffhülse auf Abstand gehalten und insbesondere am oberen Ende mit einer Sicherungsmutter gegen das Verrutschen gesichert sind. Eine entsprechende Topographie Im Inneren der Griffhülse, insbesondere wenn die Vorsprünge durch das die Griffhülse bildende Material selbst ausgebildet sind, stellt eine einfache Konstruktion dar.In one configuration of the cutting tool with two rolling bearings, these two bearings are preferably held by projections in the interior of the grip sleeve at a distance and secured in particular at the upper end with a lock nut against slipping. A corresponding topography Inside the grip sleeve, in particular when the projections are formed by the material forming the grip sleeve itself, represents a simple construction.
Das Wälzlager weist dabei vorzugsweise einen Innenring und einen Außenring auf, wobei Innenring und Außenring zueinander beweglich sind und durch einen sogenannten Wälzkörper getrennt sind. Als Wälzkörper können unterschiedliche Ausführungsformen vorgesehen sein, wie insbesondere Kugeln, Zylinder, Kegel.The rolling bearing preferably has an inner ring and an outer ring, wherein inner ring and outer ring are mutually movable and are separated by a so-called rolling elements. As rolling elements different embodiments may be provided, in particular balls, cylinders, cones.
Bei Wälzlager mit Innenring und Außenring ist der Außenring vorzugsweise so im Inneren der Griffhülse angeordnet, dass der Außenring vorzugsweise auf Vorsprüngen im Inneren der Griffhülse aufliegt und passgenau und fest im Inneren der Griffhülse angeordnet ist. Durch die Passgenauigkeit des Außenrings auf das Innere der Griffhülse kann der Außenring insbesondere lediglich eingepresst sein; es kann somit auf ein den Außenring und das Innere der Griffhülse fest miteinander fixierende Material, wie Klebstoffe, verzichtet werden. Dies ist vorteilhaft, da somit zusätzliche Materialien und weitere Prozessschritte nicht notwendig sind, was wiederum Kosten spart.In rolling bearings with inner ring and outer ring of the outer ring is preferably arranged in the interior of the grip sleeve, that the outer ring preferably rests on projections in the interior of the grip sleeve and is accurately and firmly arranged in the interior of the grip sleeve. Due to the accuracy of fit of the outer ring on the interior of the grip sleeve, the outer ring can in particular only be pressed; It can thus be on the outer ring and the interior of the grip sleeve firmly together fixing material, such as adhesives dispensed with. This is advantageous because additional materials and further process steps are therefore unnecessary, which in turn saves costs.
Der Innenring wird dabei vorzugsweise durch eine Sicherungsmutter bzw. einem ausgeweiteten unteren Ende der Welle gehalten.The inner ring is preferably held by a lock nut or an extended lower end of the shaft.
Vorzugsweise ist die Schneideklinge lösbar an einem unteren Ende der Welle montiert. Diese Ausführung erhöht vorteilhaft die flexible Einsatzmöglichkeit für das manuelle Schneidesystem, da eine für das zum Schneiden vorgesehene Material geeignete Schneideklinge eingesetzt werden kann. Zudem kann bei Abnutzung der Schneideklinge diese durch eine neue funktionsfähige Schneideklinge ersetzt werden.Preferably, the cutting blade is detachably mounted to a lower end of the shaft. This embodiment advantageously increases the flexibility of use for the manual cutting system, since a suitable cutting blade can be used for the material intended for cutting. In addition, when the cutting blade is worn, it can be replaced by a new functional cutting blade.
Vorzugweise ist das untere Ende der Welle mit einem abgeflachten Bereich versehen, auf welchen vorteilhaft die Schneideklinge mit einem Teilbereich plan aufliegend fixiert werden kann, vorzugsweise mit einer Rädelschraube. Vorzugsweise wird die Schneideklinge zwischen einem abgeflachten Bereich der Welle und einer weiteren Deckplatte eingebracht. Es sind aber auch andere Festlegungsmöglichkeiten, wie bspw. Einspannsysteme denkbar.Preferably, the lower end of the shaft is provided with a flattened portion on which advantageously the cutting blade can be fixed with a partial area lying flat, preferably with a Rädelschraube. Preferably, the cutting blade is inserted between a flattened portion of the shaft and another cover plate. But there are also other Feststellungs options, such as. Einspannsysteme conceivable.
Die Schneideschablone des manuellen Schneidesystems ist dafür vorgesehen, auf eine Materialbahn, welche dem Schneideschritt zugeführt werden soll, aufgesetzt zu werden. Um eine sichere Positionierung der Schneideschablone auf der Materialbahn bereitzustellen, ist in einer vorteilhaften Weiterbildung die Schneideschablone auf einer zur Materialbahn gerichteten Unterseite mit rutschhemmenden, aber nicht klebenden Mitteln ausgestattet. Als rutschhemmende Mittel können vorzugsweise Silikon ― oder Gumminoppen eingesetzt werden.The cutting template of the manual cutting system is intended to be placed on a web of material which is to be fed to the cutting step. To provide a secure positioning of the cutting template on the web, is in an advantageous embodiment, the cutting template on an underside directed to the material web equipped with non-slip, but not adhesive agents. As antislip agents preferably silicone or rubber naps can be used.
Die rutschhemmenden Mittel sind vorzugsweise bereichsweise, insbesondere gleichmäßig verteilt auf der Unterseite vorgesehen. Dadurch wird eine kostengünstige, aber dennoch im Gebrauchszustand ausreichende Positionssicherung der Schneideschablone gegeben.The slip-resistant means are preferably provided in regions, in particular evenly distributed on the underside. As a result, a cost-effective, but still sufficient in use state position assurance of the cutting template is given.
Die Schneideschablone weist insbesondere zumindest ein Anfassmittel zum Halten der Schneideschablone und insbesondere zum bereichsweisen Niederhalten der darunterliegenden Materialbahn auf. Das Anfassmittel zum Halten steht dabei vorzugsweise senkrecht zur Ebene der Schneideschablone. Das Anfassmittel ist dabei insbesondere bogenförmig ausgebildet.In particular, the cutting template has at least one gripping means for holding the cutting template and in particular for holding down the underlying material web in regions. The gripping means for holding is preferably perpendicular to the plane of the cutting template. The seizing agent is formed in particular arcuate.
Dieser Erfindung liegt ebenso die Aufgabe zugrunde, eine hohe Flexibilität bei einer Ferligungslinie mit einem Fertigungsschritt zur Einbringung von Lochausschnitten in Materialbahnen zu erreichen und diese zudem mit kostengünstigen und einfachen Mittel bereitzustellen.This invention is also based on the object of achieving a high degree of flexibility in a finishing line with a production step for introducing hole cutouts in material webs and also providing them with cost-effective and simple means.
