BESKRIVELSEDESCRIPTION

BenævnelseDenominations

Maske, isæren fastelavnsmaske eller karnevalsmaske Frembringelsens anvendelsesområdeMask, especially fixed-name mask or carnival mask Scope of application

Denne frembringelse angår en maske, især en fastelavnsmaske eller karnevalsmaske, med motiv af forskellig art, eksempelvis personfigur, dyrcfigur, fantasifigur eller tegneseriefigur. Masken er primært tænkt anvendt som morskabsmaske for børn eller voksne, dvs som et stykke lejetøj, men andre anvendelsesformål kan naturligvis også komme på tale, jvf benævnelsen.This creation relates to a mask, especially a fixed-name mask or carnival mask, with motifs of various kinds, for example, a person figure, animal figure, fantasy figure or cartoon character. The mask is primarily intended to be used as a fun mask for children or adults, ie as a piece of toys, but other uses can of course also be discussed, cf. the term.

Kendt teknikPrior art

Kendte masker af den omhandlede art frcmstillcts sædvanligvis af plastic ved en simpel vaeuumformningsteknik. Fordelen ved denne teknik er relativt lave produktionsomkostninger, dvs at stykprisen og dermed udsalgsprisen kan holdes på et ønsket lavt niveau. Formningsteknikken indebærer imidlertid væsentlige designmæssige begrænsninger både hvad maskedimension og -form angår, idet vaeuumformning af især lange, smalle ekstremiteter (eksempelvis en clefantsnabel, flagrende elerfantører, lange spidse næser, etc) ikke er teknisk mulig. En anden ulempe ligger i det forhold, at maskerne er meget pladskrævende som en naturlig følge af deres rumlige form, og derfor omkostningskrævende i forbindelse med salg og distribution.Known masks of the type in question are usually made of plastic by a simple vacuum forming technique. The advantage of this technique is relatively low production costs, ie the unit price and thus the retail price can be kept at a desired low level. However, the molding technique involves significant design constraints in both mesh size and shape, since vacuum forming of particularly long, narrow extremities (e.g., a cleft cord, fluttering elephants, long pointed noses, etc.) is not technically possible. Another disadvantage lies in the fact that the masks are very space consuming as a natural consequence of their spatial form, and therefore costly in sales and distribution.

Det er også kendt at fremstille fastclavnsmaskcr og lignende masker af papirpulp eller papmarchc ved en vådformningsproces, som er mere håndværksmæssig baseret. Denne fremstillingsteknik giver større designmæssig frihed, men indebærer også langt højere produktionsomkostninger. Papmarche-masker benyttes i dag kun til mere specielle formål, hvor prisen er underordnet, eksempelvis teatermasker.It is also known to produce solid-stitch masks and similar masks of paper pulp or paper march by a wet-forming process that is more artisan-based. This manufacturing technique gives greater design freedom, but also involves much higher production costs. Papmarche masks are used today only for more special purposes where the price is subordinate, for example theater masks.

Den mest simple form for maske består i al sin enkelhed af et stykke udstanset pap eller karton med påtrykt motiv og med udstansede huller ud for øjnene. Masken er forsynet med cn snor eller elastik, hvormed masken kan fastholdes på hovedet. Snoren eller elastikken bevirker, at masken krummer sammen omkring hovedet, så ansigtet dækkes helt eller delvist. Maskedesignet er stort set begrænset til det påtrykte motiv og papstvkkcts udvendige kontur. Denne simple form for maske er mest kendt som tilgift til tcgnescrichæftcr og lignende formål, hvor cn lav fremstillingspris er afgørende.The simplest form of mask, in all its simplicity, consists of a piece of die-cut cardboard or cardboard with printed motif and with punched holes in front of the eyes. The mask is provided with a cord or elastic, which allows the mask to be held upside down. The string or elastic causes the mask to curl around the head so that the face is covered completely or partially. The mask design is largely limited to the printed motif and the outer contour of the paper. This simple form of mask is most commonly known as drug addiction and similar purposes where a low manufacturing cost is essential.

Det tekniske problem der skal løsesThe technical problem to be solved

Formålet med opfindelsen er at anvise cn fastclavnsmaske eller lignende maske, som kan fremstilles rationelt og prisbilligt ved velkendte industrielle produktionsmetoder og fortrinsvis af miljøvenlige materialer. Den produktionsteknik, masken er baseret på, skal endvidere sikre en større designmæssig frihed end hidtil kendt i forbindelse med sammenlignelige masker, jvf bemærkningerne ovenfor, ligesom masken så vidt muligt skal kunne tilpasses individuelt i størrelse til den enkelte bruger.The object of the invention is to provide a fixed-mask or similar mask which can be produced rationally and inexpensively by well-known industrial production methods and preferably by environmentally friendly materials. Furthermore, the production technique on which the mask is based must ensure greater design freedom than hitherto known in connection with comparable masks, cf. the comments above, and the mask must, as far as possible, be individually sized for each user.

Den nye teknikThe new technique

Det nye ved frembringelsen udgøres af, at masken er foldet og samlet af et eller flere, i hovedsagen plane, formstykker af fortrykt karton, plastfolie, folielaminat eller et lignende materiale egnet til manuel foldning, bukning og håndtering i øvrigt. Fortrinsvis er maskeformstykkerne fortrykt på et enkelt ark karton, og er beregnet til manuel udklipning, alternativt til udrivning langs præfabrikerede Ί DK 95 00350 U3 perforeringer eller gennemstansninger langs formstykke-konturerne. Maskekonceptet er grundlæggende baseret på, at brugeren selv foretager den endelige udklipning/udrivning og den efterfølgende foldning og samling af formstykkerne, således at masken kan distribueres i form af et ark karton med motiv-tryk og med eventuelle præfabrikationer som anført. Alternativt kan masken leveres i form af færdigt udstansede formstykker parat til foldning og samling til den færdige maske af køberen/brugeren selv.What is new in the production is that the mask is folded and assembled from one or more, generally planar, molded pieces of pre-printed cardboard, plastic film, foil laminate or a similar material suitable for manual folding, bending and handling in general. Preferably, the mesh moldings are pre-printed on a single sheet of cardboard and are intended for manual cutting, or alternatively for tearing along prefabricated Ί DK 95 00350 U3 perforations or cut-outs along the molding contours. The mask concept is basically based on the user himself making the final cut / tear and the subsequent folding and assembly of the moldings, so that the mask can be distributed in the form of a sheet of cardboard with motif printing and with any prefabrications as stated. Alternatively, the mask may be provided in the form of pre-punched die pieces prepared for folding and assembly for the finished mask by the buyer / user himself.

Ifølge opfindelsen kan masken med fordel være beregnet til samling ved sammenklæbning af de enkelte formstykker efter passende bukning og evt tilpasning af disse. Formålstjenligt er formstykkerne da forsynet med præfabrikerede limfcltcr, hvor limen er af kontakttypen og hvor limfelterne er dækket af afriveligt beskyttclscsfolic på sædvanlig vis. Alternativt kan masken være indrettet til samling efter kartonnagesystemet, dvs med flige og samlchagcr, der griber låsende ind i hinanden (samlcprincip kendt fra bl a cmballagcæskcr).According to the invention, the mask may advantageously be intended for assembly by gluing the individual mold pieces after appropriate bending and any fitting thereof. Conveniently, the moldings are then provided with prefabricated adhesives, where the adhesive is of the contact type and where the adhesive panels are covered with peelable protective film in the usual manner. Alternatively, the mask may be arranged for assembly according to the cartonage system, ie with tabs and assembly chucks interlocking (assembly principle known from, inter alia, packaging boxes).

Arket kan ifølge opfindelsen distribueres plano eller i sammenrullet form, evt emballeret i paprør eller lignende emballage, og der kan være påtrykt logo, rekiametekst eller anden form for grafisk budskab på masken.The sheet can according to the invention be distributed flat or in rolled form, possibly packaged in cardboard tubes or similar packaging, and there may be printed logo, reciam text or other form of graphic message on the mask.

Den tekniske virkningThe technical impact

Ved at anvende den ovenfor nævnte nye teknik til fastclavnsmaskcr og lignende masker er det muligt, at fremstille maskerne ved kendt trykteknik (offset-tryk, silketryk, ..) og på basis af materialer, som er både miljøvenlige og prisbillige (papir, pap, etc). Man opnår dels en meget rationel produktion med relativt lave produktionsomkostninger, dvs lave stykpriser, dels et produkt, som i kraft af sin plane form cr stabelbart og som derfor er bedre egnet til distribution og markedsføring end de hidtil kendte "rumlige" masker. Maskerne ifølge opfindelsen kan designes mere frit med ubegrænset store ekstremiteter, fx næser eller ører. Fremstillingsteknikken i sig selv-sætter ingen begrænsninger i så henseende, dvs at masker i figurer og former, som hidtil har været ukendte i forbindelse med traditionelle fastclavnsmaskcr, nu cr realistiske.By applying the above-mentioned new technique to solid-stitch masks and similar masks, it is possible to produce the masks by known printing techniques (offset printing, silk-screen printing, etc.) and on the basis of materials which are both environmentally friendly and affordable (paper, cardboard, etc). One achieves a very rational production with relatively low production costs, ie low unit prices, and a product which, by virtue of its planar shape, is stackable and which is therefore better suited for distribution and marketing than the previously known "spatial" masks. The masks of the invention can be designed more freely with unlimited large extremities, such as noses or ears. The manufacturing technique itself does not impose any limitations in this regard, that is, masks in figures and shapes that have hitherto been unknown in the context of traditional fixed-claw masks are now realistic.

Færdiggørelsen afen maske fordrer aktiv medvirken af køberen, idet maskens enkelte formstykker skal bukkes og samles inden masken kan tages i brug. Færdiggørelsen cr imidlertid meget enkel og kan klares af enhver på få minutter. Der fordres ikke værktøj, i visse tilfælde dog en saks, og formstykkerne kan umiddelbart klæbes sammen, når kartonet er forsynet med linifeltcr som angivet. Maskens hovedrem kan tilpasses individuelt til den enkelte bruger, jvf krav 5.The completion of a mask requires active participation by the buyer, since the individual pieces of the mask must be bent and assembled before the mask can be put into use. However, the completion is very simple and can be done by anyone in minutes. No tools are required, however, in some cases, scissors, and the moldings can be glued together immediately when the carton is provided with a line field as indicated. The mask's main belt can be individually adapted to the individual user, cf. requirement 5.
