Definitions

  • the invention relates to a calendar with a housing, with a plurality of window-like openings formed in the housing and with information carriers for the calendar data arranged in the openings and each having at least two display pages, the information carriers being rotatable about an axis of rotation in the associated opening are arranged so that the desired display side of the display carrier can optionally be rotated into the display division.
  • the calendar according to the invention is used to indicate the day of the week (Monday, Tuesday etc.) and / or the day of the month and / or the name of the month and / or the year
  • the calendar of the type specified at the outset is known from FR 2 318 472.
  • the basic principle consists in a box-shaped housing which has window-like openings in a grid. Display panels are rotatably mounted in these window-like openings.
  • vertical rods with a rectangular cross section are fixedly arranged in the openings.
  • the tablets are formed in two parts and enclose these rods so that they can be rotated.
  • the two surface elements of the tablets are flexible.
  • a disadvantage of this known calendar is the complex rotary construction for the tablets. On the one hand, a vertical bar must be arranged in the openings, on the other hand, the tablets are made in two parts
  • the invention is based on the objective of creating an improved calendar of the type specified at the outset, in particular the rotational mounting of the information carriers for the quay end data being to be improved
  • the invention proposes that the information carrier and the boundary walls of the openings have projections and corresponding recesses as a rotary bearing for the information carrier.
  • the advantage of the calendar according to the invention lies in the fact that it is improved in relation to the adjustment, ie pivoting, of the respective information carriers in comparison to the known calendars of the generic type.
  • the calendar according to the invention is based on the basic principle that only the desired calendar data are visible, while the calendar data that is not current are hidden.
  • the display pages of the data carriers that are not provided with the calendar data can be provided with pictures Act single images that have no relation to each other. But it is also conceivable that the picture pages in their mosaic-like entirety create an overall picture.
  • the basic idea of the calendar according to the invention is that the information carrier is rotatably arranged in the respective opening, so that the information carrier - if a current calendar date is to be made visible and an out-of-date calendar date is to be made to disappear again - simply has to be rotated .
  • This rotary movement can be carried out easily. Neither are any data carriers lost, since they are assigned to the associated field in a fixed (but rotatable) manner.
  • the rotary bearing according to the invention can be implemented in a technically very simple manner.
  • the basic idea of the pivot bearing is that the information carriers have projections on two opposite sides, which serve as the axis of rotation.
  • the inner walls of the openings have recesses as counter bearings for the projections.
  • the arrangement can also be reversed, ie the projections are formed in the boundary walls of the openings, while the recesses are in the information carriers.
  • the basic housing of the calendar is independent of the material, shape and size. This means that the housing can consist of plastic, metal, wood or any other suitable material.
  • the shape is also variable. It can be a square, a rectangle, a triangle or any other (even irregular) shape. Of course, size does not matter either.
  • the calendar can have a normal calendar size, but it can also cover a larger area. The same variety of variations also applies to the information carriers arranged in the window-like openings.
  • the window-like openings within the housing is also arbitrary. It can be a regular, matrix-like arrangement, but also offset arrangements and finally completely arbitrary arrangements, with no limits to the imagination.
  • the information carriers can be snapped into the rotary bearings in the housing.
  • the advantage of snap-in is that it is easy to install, since no additional fasteners are required.
  • Another advantage is that the display carriers can be easily exchanged for others. This means that one and the same housing can be used for different sets of information carriers, for example when the calendar presentation changes annually.
  • the projections are pivots. This is a technically simple way to On the one hand, it can be arranged easily within the housing frame and, on the other hand, it can be rotated. With plastic injection molded parts, the pivots can be easily molded on technically.
  • the pivots lie on opposite sides of the respective display carrier.
  • the pivots are preferably hemispherical.
  • the recesses are designed as half a hollow sphere. Of course, it is also conceivable to provide spherical segments or to design the pivots as partial ellipsoids.
  • the pivots / recesses are not rotationally symmetrical, but that they engage somewhat in the desired rotational position and thus maintain the desired position.
  • the recesses for the pivots are designed as hollows.
  • the advantage is that the pivots are held securely in these hollows.
  • the housing must be bent up slightly in the area of the boundary walls in order to engage the pivot pins.
  • the recesses for the pivots are formed by undercutting an insertion channel. This is to be understood to mean that the display supports, in particular, are pushed with their pivot into the insertion channel from behind and, after passing through a locking projection, reach an undercut which defines the recess and in which the pivot is securely held.
  • a further development of the calendar according to the invention proposes that the housing have such a depth that the information carriers do not protrude beyond the rear boundary plane of the housing when rotating. This has the advantage and the prerequisite that the information carriers can be rotated without further ado without hitting the rear boundary plane of the housing. This means that the information carriers can be rotated to the desired position without having to disconnect the calendar.
  • the housing has a substantially flat front wall which has the openings and a peripheral edge which projects backwards. This creates a flat, frame-like box that is technically fold, for example, as a plastic injection mold. Externally, the calendar looks similar to a picture frame.
  • window-like openings and the information carriers arranged therein are designed with their respective display sides to be symmetrical with respect to the axis of rotation.
  • This has the advantage that the respective display sides of the display supports completely fill the window-like opening in the calendar housing.
  • it is also conceivable to carry out the arrangement asymmetrically, for example to design the openings artistically.
  • the information carriers are designed as flat tablets, the axis of rotation preferably running through the longitudinal center line.
  • These flat panels have two display pages, namely one page for the desired calendar date and the other page for free artistic design.
  • Such flat panel oaks can be produced in a technically simple manner. In addition, they can easily be provided with the appropriate inscriptions.
  • the tablets can have any shape. They can be round, oval, but also rectangular or square. In the case of the rectangular or square design of the tablets, the axis of rotation runs through the longitudinal center line. Of course, it is also conceivable to let the axis of rotation run through the diagonals in the case of a square tablet. There are no limits to other pond oak shapes.
  • the information carriers can also be designed as regular, straight prisms. This is to be understood as a body that has a regular base, for example an equilateral triangle, a square, a regular pentagon, etc.
  • the central axis of the prism forms the axis of rotation of the information carrier.
  • Figure 1 is a plan view of the calendar.
  • Fig. 2 is a perspective view of the calendar in Fig. 1 in one
  • Fig. 3 shows a section along the line III-III in Fig. 1, two of the
  • FIG. 5 shows a detail from FIG. 4 in the area of one of the panels
  • Fig. 6 is a schematic sectional view through an alternative
  • FIG. 7 shows a section along the line Vll-Vll in FIG. 6;
  • FIG. 8 shows a third embodiment of a rotary bearing for the tablets corresponding to the representation in FIG. 6.
  • a first embodiment of a calendar according to the invention is shown.
  • 6 and 7 show a modified rotary bearing for tablets.
  • 8 finally shows a third embodiment of the rotary bearing with a spring-loaded ball.
  • the calendar of FIGS. 1 to 5 consists of a box-like housing 1, which can be, for example, a plastic injection molded part.
  • the housing 1 has a flat, flat front wall 2 and a circumferential circumferential edge 3 which projects vertically backwards.
  • the front wall 2 of the housing 1 has openings 4 in the form of openings in a matrix-like arrangement. These openings 4 are each square.
  • an information carrier 5 in the form of a flat plate is rotatably arranged.
  • the square information carrier 5 has hemispherical pivots 6 on two opposite sides on the center line, which define an axis of rotation D.
  • the inner boundary wall 7 of the opening 4 has two hemispherical recesses 8.
  • the pivots 6 and the recesses 8 each define a rotary bearing 9, by means of which the flat information carriers 5 can be rotated through 180 ° in their opening 4, as can be seen, for example, in FIG. 3, so that the respective display side of the flat information carrier 5 lies above.
  • the calendar works as follows:
  • the total of 64 data carriers 5 each have on their one display page 10 either a day of the week, a day of the month, a name of the month and a year.
  • the corresponding data carriers 5 are rotated so that the correct data are on top and are visible. All other display carriers 5 are rotated with their calendar data so that they are not visible.
  • the ads (back) pages 10 can have any other motif. Small individual images may be involved. But it is also conceivable that the totality of these backsides gives a mosaic-like overall picture.
  • the modified embodiment of the rotary bearing 9 in FIGS. 6 and 7 has data carriers 5, the pivot pins 6 of which are essentially cylindrical.
  • the boundary walls 7 of the openings 4 of the housing 1 have insertion channels 11 which are accessible from the rear and which are designed as troughs which are open at the rear.
  • the insertion channel 11 has an undercut 12, behind which the inserted pivot pin 6 of the information carrier 5 engages. In this undercut 12, the pivot 6 is freely rotatable.
  • the recess 8 is designed as a hollow spherical segment. Instead of the pivot pin 6, however, a ball 13 is provided, which is pressed outwards by a spring 14 located inside the information carrier 5. By appropriate shaping of the cavity 15 in the information carrier 5, however, the ball 13 cannot escape. During the snap-in process, the ball 13 deflects against the force of the spring 14 and then snaps into the recess 8 of the boundary wall 7 in the opening 4 of the housing 1.
  • the system according to the invention was described using a calendar.
  • the idea of the invention is not only limited to this possible application.
  • the principle of the invention can also be used as a game, as a design object (for example made of plexiglass), as an organizer, as a sculpture, as a collecting object, etc.
  • Reference list for example made of plexiglass
