Description

[0001] Label plate with attached retaining bracket

[0002] The invention relates to a labeling plate, a sign mat and a labeling set.

[0003] Labels are regularly used to identify cables and the like. In general, ease of use is desirable. Since such labels are often required in very large quantities, simple production is also particularly advantageous.

[0004] Labels are often attached to a grommet, such as a cable grommet, which in turn is mounted on a conduit, such as a cable, hose, or similar device. This often allows for particularly quick and easy attachment of labels.

[0005] EP 0 416 170 A1 describes a label that is clamped into a cable grommet channel. A narrow tab is provided for inserting the label into the grommet. The disadvantage of this solution is that a writable marking surface is located within the cable grommet, making it difficult to see the applied marking and requiring the most transparent material possible for the cable grommet. Furthermore, the size of the marking surface is limited, which severely restricts the amount of information that can be applied to it.

[0006] DE 10 2020 108 845 A1 describes a solution that eliminates the aforementioned disadvantages. According to this solution, an insertion arm is moved against a stop for the grommet and rests there in a non-deflected state. However, it has been shown that the label can very easily be accidentally detached from the cable grommet. Furthermore, production by injection molding is very costly due to long flow paths, especially when multiple labels are to be produced in a single, connected unit. This increases production time and the complexity of the necessary tooling.

[0007] The object of the present invention is to provide an improved labeling plate that can be produced easily and inexpensively.

[0008] This object is achieved by an object having the features of claim 1. According to this, a labeling plate for attachment to a cable grommet is specified, comprising a plate section with a writable, e.g. printable, marking surface, a locking device connected to the plate section, and a retaining bracket on which a locking section designed for locking with the locking device is formed.

[0009] This enables particularly easy handling since, for example, the retaining bracket can simply be pushed into a cable grommet, the sign section folded over at the film hinge and locked with the retaining bracket. With the locking device, the free end of the retaining bracket can be held in a locked state on the sign section in such a way that its movement is limited in (at least) two mutually orthogonal directions. The retaining bracket is secured not only laterally but also, for example, against movement along its direction of extension. This is achieved by locking means. Overall, the retaining bracket can be secured in the end position in three spatial directions (in particular "back", "right" and "downwards", in each case relative to the marking surface) and in the remaining spatial directions, for example at least to a limited extent.

[0010] It can be provided that the retaining bracket is connected to the sign section so that it can move relative to the sign section (in particular via a thinned material section, e.g. via a film hinge). Such a thinned material section can form a joint that allows a pivoting movement of the retaining bracket relative to the labeling surface in two axes (or in the form of a hinge around one axis). The design as a film hinge allows pivoting, with an elastic material of the labeling plate also allowing lateral freedom of movement in order to thread the retaining bracket into the locking device. In this way, the geometric design and the material elasticity can work together collusively to enable a corresponding 3D movement. The film hinge allows a relatively large mobility of the retaining bracket around a pivot axis relative to the sign section, which in turn grants freedom in manufacturing.Multiple labels can be arranged along a common plane. This is achieved by allowing the retaining bracket to be positioned accordingly and, after detachment, also deflected within the assembly. For example, multiple labels can be easily manufactured into a single, coherent unit. The labeling plate can be constructed in one piece and made of the same material. The film hinge can be implemented as a thinner section than adjacent sections. Furthermore, the film hinge can prevent torsion of the retaining bracket.

[0011] The sign section and the retaining bracket can extend in one plane in an initial position. In an assembled position, the retaining bracket can be aligned at an angle to the sign section. In a secured position, the retaining bracket can be arranged parallel to the sign section. In this way, several such labeling plates can be produced together in one mat, so that several labeling plates can be printed simultaneously in one printer. Instead of or in addition to printing, labeling can also be applied by embossing or by laser radiation by changing the contrast on the marking surface or by attaching a label. The marking / labeling can be applied in a single process.

[0012] The film hinge is connected to the sign section at a free end and / or at a side edge of the sign section, e.g., a side edge bordering the marking area. This allows for a flat design and particularly easy handling.

[0013] The locking portion of the retaining bracket interacts with the locking device to prevent it from being released from a resting position in which the retaining bracket is mounted in the locking device, which functions, for example, as a lock. For this purpose, a recess is provided, for example, preferably at one end. The free end of the retaining bracket is preferably hook-shaped. The locking portion of the retaining bracket can thus be hook-shaped, for example, or alternatively, e.g., in the form of an eyelet. This enables simple and secure locking.

[0014] The locking device, for example, provides support for the retaining bracket. The retaining bracket can therefore be supported, for example, on one side via the connection to the sign section and on the other side by the locking device as a counter-bearing for receiving a section at the free end of the retaining bracket. Optionally, the locking device has a pocket. The locking section of the retaining bracket, for example, can be inserted into the pocket. This enables particularly secure locking such that the retaining bracket cannot be pulled out of the locking device. The pocket can have an L-shaped or T-shaped opening. This allows straight insertion and simple locking with the hook-shaped locking section, for example. Alternatively or additionally, a receptacle for the retaining bracket can be L-shaped or T-shaped, e.g.so that a three-sided enclosure and / or support is formed, one side of which is provided with an insertion opening for the retaining bracket. In addition, a mount can be added in the direction of extension of the shield section to form a stop.

[0015] In one embodiment, the locking device has two side walls. The side walls can be connected to each other by a base. This allows for particularly high stability of the locking device and thus secure locking, which is not prone to accidental opening. Furthermore, it also makes it possible to stiffen an elastic material to form the desired support and generate the closing effect. Three side walls can also be connected to the base, of which, for example, at least two extend toward the shield section and are preferably connected to it.

[0016] The locking device can be arranged at least partially below the sign section, in particular protruding therefrom. For example, the locking device is formed on a rear side of the sign section. The locking device can be formed on a rear side of the sign section opposite the marking surface. This allows for a particularly large marking surface, wherein the locking device is not visible after the labeling plate has been attached. This allows for a clearer overall appearance, particularly when a large number of labeling plates are installed next to one another. This clarity is an advantage during handling. However, a planar extension also enables simpler production, since the tools required for this can be designed more simply.In addition, the resulting stackability offers storage advantages as well as advantages during the labeling process in a printer.

[0017] The locking section of the retaining bracket can be inserted into the locking device along an engagement direction and, optionally, can be locked in the locking device in a locking direction perpendicular to the engagement direction. This enables intuitive and secure locking. The elongated extension in an initial position also enables easy handling during threading, since, among other things, the retaining bracket is visible and the marking surface allows good orientation of the retaining bracket. The mobility of the free end of the retaining bracket can be fixed in the end position in at least three directions, preferably in all spatial axes (x, y, z) relative to the sign section. A release mechanism for non-destructive release of the movement lock is optionally provided.

[0018] The retaining bracket and / or the plate section can be elongated and have a longitudinal extension. The engagement direction can be parallel (or perpendicular) to the longitudinal extension. This allows for a simple and intuitive locking mechanism, even with small dimensions of the label plate.

[0019] The retaining bracket is optionally elongated. The retaining bracket extends, for example, from an end pivotally mounted and / or connected to the shield section to a free end and is in particular rod-, arm-, or bar-shaped, preferably cylindrical. The retaining bracket is more rigid than a film hinge. The locking section of the retaining bracket can have a lateral recess. This allows for secure locking while being simple to manufacture.

[0020] The locking device can provide a bearing for the portion of the free end of the retaining bracket, which is held there in a locking manner. Optionally, the locking device has a recess for this purpose. It can be provided that the locking portion can be locked to the locking device in such a way that the recesses engage with one another, in particular are aligned perpendicular to one another. This allows for an easy-to-close lock to be achieved using particularly simple means.

[0021] In other words, the locking device can provide a closing mechanism with a locking option. Here, the free ends are designed, for example, according to a lock and key principle, thus being designed to complement one another accordingly, and in one embodiment is formed on a further retaining bracket which is connected to the shield section so as to be movable relative to the shield section, for example via a further film hinge. In this way, a particularly flat structure can be achieved which can be manufactured using an injection molding process with a simple open-close tool without a slide, and which can be shipped in a particularly compact stack. The retaining bracket and the further retaining bracket can be connected to the shield section on opposite sides of the shield section, in particular in one piece, preferably with a material fit, most preferably using the same material. This enables a locking mechanism that is easy to assemble manually.

[0022] The locking device can have a recess, e.g., a hook-shaped or eyelet-shaped recess. This allows for a particularly simple design.

[0023] According to one aspect, a sign mat is provided, comprising a plurality of labeling plates (e.g., detachable from an assembly, in particular without tools, e.g., breakable), each of which can be configured according to any of the embodiments described herein. Thus, several labeling plates can be produced and printed simultaneously.

[0024] According to one aspect, a labeling kit is provided, comprising a labeling plate according to any embodiment described herein and a grommet (e.g., a cable grommet) with a bracket feedthrough for engagement through the retaining bracket. Regarding the advantages, reference is made to the above information.

[0025] The grommet (e.g., cable grommet) may have a passage (in particular, a line or cable bushing) for passing through a line (e.g., a supply line, transport line, or the like), in particular a cable, hose (e.g., pneumatic hose), pipe, or rod, or generally a cylindrical body or hollow body. This enables simple and secure installation on the respective body, e.g., the cable.

[0026] The concept underlying the invention will be explained in more detail below with reference to the exemplary embodiments illustrated in the figures. They show:

[0028] Fig. 2A and 2B show a label plate of the sign mat according to Fig. 1A and 1B with a plate section, a locking device and a retaining bracket in an initial configuration;

[0032] locking device and a retaining bracket;

[0034] Fig. 7 a label plate with one plate section and two

[0035] Holding brackets in an initial configuration;

[0036] Fig. 8 the label according to Fig. 7 in a locked

[0037] Configuration;

[0038] Fig. 9 the label according to Fig. 7 and 8 in a

[0039] Cable grommet locked configuration;

[0040] Fig. 10 the label according to Fig. 2A to 4B with an optional

[0041] safety latch; and

[0042] Fig. 11A-14 further labeling plates, each with a plate section and a retaining bracket.

[0043] Fig. 1A and 1B show a sign mat 3 with several labeling plates 1A. The labeling plates 1A can each be separated from the rest of the sign mat 3, in this case, easily broken out without tools. The sign mat 3 comprises two parallel side webs 30, which are connected by several, here four, transverse webs 31. The labeling plates extend between the transverse webs 31.

[0044] The sign mat 3 is formed in one piece, in this case from a plastic. The sign mat 3 is an injection-molded part produced in a plastic injection molding process.

[0045] The labels 1A can be printed, for example using a printer, and if necessary, can also be written on manually with a pen. This makes it possible, on the one hand, to separate individual labels 1A from the rest of the label mat 3 and then print, label, or otherwise mark them. On the other hand, the label mat 3 can also be fed to a printer as a whole, so that several or all of the labels 1A can be printed in one operation. For this purpose, the side webs 30 in the example shown are designed in the form of runners that can be guided along a transport device of the printer. As can be seen in particular from Fig. 1B, surfaces of the labels 1A in the sign mat 3 lie in one plane (in particular the marking surfaces 100 explained in more detail below), so that they can be written on using the same labeling medium.

[0046] Predetermined breaking points at the transitions between the labeling plates 1A and the other sections of the sign mat 3, here the cross bars 31, allow the individual labeling plates 1A to be easily separated.

[0047] Fig. 2A and 2B show one of the labeling plates 1A of the sign mat 3 after separation therefrom, but it should be noted that it would also be possible to produce such labeling plates 1A individually, i.e. not in a sign mat 3.

[0048] The labeling plate 1A comprises a plate section 10 with a marking surface 100. The plate section 10 is flat and elongated. The plate section 10 is designed in the form of an elongated plate. The marking surface 100 is writable, meaning that writing, a colored marking, and / or other markings can be applied or incorporated (attached, arranged) onto it. The marking surface 100 is flat, i.e., it extends in a plane spanned by two straight lines.

[0049] The labeling plate 1A further comprises a locking device 11A. The locking device 11A is connected to the plate section 10, more precisely, firmly connected thereto. In the example shown, the locking device 11A is formed on the plate section 10. The locking device 11A protrudes from the plate section 10 on a rear side 101 of the plate section 10. The rear side 101 of the plate section 10 represents the side opposite the identification surface 100 and, in the example shown, has the same external shape as the identification surface 100. As can be seen in particular from Fig. 2B, the locking device 11A is arranged on a longitudinal end of the plate section 10. The locking device 11A is cuboid-shaped. The locking device 11A forms an interior space in the form of a pocket 110.The pocket 110 is defined by side walls 114A, 114B, a rear wall 116, a bottom 117, and a portion of the shield section 10. The rear wall 116 faces (and is arranged adjacent to) a longitudinal end of the shield section 10. The bottom 117 runs (substantially) parallel to the shield section 10. The side walls 114A, 114B run parallel to each other (apart from draft angles, if any).

[0050] A window 113 is formed in one of the side walls 114A and the base 117. An opening 119 is provided opposite the rear wall 116, through which the pocket 110 is accessible.

[0051] The labeling plate 1A further comprises a retaining bracket 12A. A locking section 13A designed for locking with the locking device 11A is provided on the retaining bracket 12A. The retaining bracket 12A is movably connected to the plate section 10 via a single-joint or multi-joint hinge, in this case a single-joint hinge. In the present case, a thinned portion of the material is provided, which forms the hinge. In the example shown, a film hinge 14 is specifically provided, via which the retaining bracket 12A is movably connected to the plate section 10 relative to the plate section 10. The film hinge 14 is connected to the plate section 10 at a side edge 102 of the plate section 10. The side edge 102 extends between the marking surface 100 and the rear side 101 of the plate section 10.In the present case, the film hinge 14 is connected to the shield section 10 at a longitudinal end thereof, specifically the longitudinal end further spaced from the locking device 11A.

[0052] The film hinge 14 is formed by a tapered portion. Due to the tapering, the film hinge 14 is (manually) plastically and / or elastically deformable. The retaining bracket 12A can be pivoted relative to the sign section 10 by means of the film hinge 14. The film hinge 14 and the retaining bracket 12A are narrower than the sign section 10. The retaining bracket 12A and the sign section 10 are thicker than the film hinge 14. In the example shown, the retaining bracket 12A has the same thickness as the sign section 10 (in a direction perpendicular to the plane of the marking surface 100). The retaining bracket 12A is designed in the form of an elongated strip. The length of the retaining bracket 12A corresponds to the distance from the side edge 102 of the shield section 10 at the film hinge 14 to the rear wall 116 of the locking device 11A.The locking portion 13A of the retaining bracket 12A is formed at one end of the retaining bracket 12A, in this case at the longitudinal end facing away from the shield portion 10. The locking portion 13A of the retaining bracket 12A is hook-shaped. Specifically, the locking portion 13A has a recess 130 and a hook 131 formed by the recess 130. The recess 130 is formed in a side edge 120 of the retaining bracket 12A. The side edge 120 connects an upper side 121 to a lower side 122 of the retaining bracket 12A. In this case, the upper side 121 runs parallel to the underside 122. In the configuration according to Figs. 2A and 2B, the upper side 121 of the retaining bracket 12A is arranged on the same side of the labeling plate 1A as the marking surface 100 of the plate section 100. The same applies to the underside 122 and the back 101.The recess 130 extends from the top side 121 to the bottom side 122 through the retaining bracket 12A. The recess 130 is formed only on one side edge 120 of the retaining bracket 12A, not on the opposite side edge.

[0053] In the configuration shown in Figs. 2A and 2B, the sign section 10 and the retaining bracket 12A are arranged in one plane. This configuration can also be referred to as the initial configuration. In the initial configuration, the film hinge 14 is relaxed. The upper side 121 of the retaining bracket 12A and the marking surface 100 of the sign section 10 extend in the same plane. The retaining bracket 12A can be pivoted relative to the sign section 10 by means of the film hinge 14, i.e., it can be arranged in one plane and pivoted in planes inclined to one another.

[0054] In this way, the label 1A can be transferred from the initial configuration into a locked configuration shown in Figs. 3A to 3D. In the locked configuration, the locking section 13A is locked to the locking device 11A. The hook 131 of the locking section 13A is inserted into the pocket 110 of the locking device 11A. In the locked configuration, the film hinge 14 is bent, in this case by 180 degrees. In the locked configuration, the retaining bracket 12A extends along the label section 10 (and in this case also parallel thereto). A gap is formed between the label section 10 and the retaining bracket 12A, which allows a section of a cable grommet 2 shown in Figs. 4A and 4B to extend therebetween.

[0055] In order to lock with the locking device 11A, it is possible, on the one hand, to insert the locking section 13A frontally into the opening 119 of the pocket 110, in this case in a direction parallel to the longitudinal extent of the retaining bracket 12A. The retaining bracket 12A then enters the pocket 110 with its longitudinal end first. In this case, the opening 119 is L-shaped. Due to a block 112 of the locking device 11A, the opening 119 has a recess 111, at which the opening 119 has a smaller width than in an area above it. Thus, the locking section 13A can be inserted in an engagement direction (in this case parallel to the longitudinal extent of the retaining bracket 12A) through the wider area of ​​the opening 119 into the pocket 110 and then moved into the recess 111 in a locking direction perpendicular thereto.The hook 131 locks with the locking device 11A, specifically with the block 112. The window 113 allows visual inspection of the locking mechanism. Furthermore, the window 113 enables demolding using slides during the injection molding process.

[0056] As can be seen particularly from Fig. 4B, the locking device 11A has a lateral engagement 115. In the present case, the engagement 115 is formed in one side wall 114B of the locking device 11A. The engagement 115 forms a slot between the side wall 114B and the (flat) rear side 101 of the sign section 10. The engagement extends over the entire length of the side wall 114. Specifically, the engagement 115 extends as far as the rear wall 116 and is open on the side of the locking device 11A facing away from the rear wall 116. Thus, the retaining bracket 12A can be inserted into the pocket 110 laterally instead of frontally, i.e., by a pivoting movement within a plane parallel to the marking surface 100. In this case, the engagement direction of the locking portion 13A runs parallel to the marking surface 100 and perpendicular to the longitudinal extension of the retaining bracket 12A.The locking direction is again aligned perpendicular to the marking surface 100, as described above.

[0057] To lock the cable grommet 2 shown in Fig. 4A and 4B, the retaining bracket 12A is first pushed through a bracket feedthrough 20 of the cable grommet 2 until the locking section reappears at the other end of the bracket feedthrough 20. The shield section 10, which has been bent before, during, or afterward, is then locked to the locking section 13A by means of the locking device 11A. The film hinge 14 is then bent. By elastic tension of the film hinge 14, the locking section 13A is held in the locked position in the locking device 11A. Furthermore, the material of the cable grommet 2 prevents unintentional opening. In the locked state, the retaining bracket 12A is secured against both lateral forces and tensile forces.

[0058] The cable grommet 2 further includes a cable feedthrough 21 through which a cable 4 can be inserted (before or after mounting the label 1A). This allows for easy-to-apply, relatively large, and clearly visible identification of the cable 4.

[0059] Together, the labeling plate 1A and the cable grommet 2 form a labeling set.

[0060] Fig. 5 shows a label plate 1B, which is designed like the label plate 1A described above and, in comparison, only has a differently designed locking device 11B. According to Fig. 5, the locking device 11B is hook-shaped. The locking device 11B is U-shaped, with one leg of the U being connected to the plate section 10 and the other leg of the U being spaced from the plate section 10.

[0061] The locking device 11B has a recess 118 which forms the hook shape, wherein the locking section 13B can be locked to the locking device 11B in such a way that the recesses 130, 118 of the locking section 13A and the locking device 11B are aligned perpendicular to one another.

[0062] For locking, the locking section 13A can be pivoted laterally and then engage in a locking manner in the recess 118 in a direction perpendicular thereto (in a direction perpendicular to the marking surface 100).

[0063] While the design of the label plate 1A according to Fig. 2A-4B enables a particularly secure locking, the design according to Fig. 5 is particularly easy to manufacture.

[0064] 6A and 6B show two labeling plates 1B, which are locked to one another at both locking devices 11B, primarily for illustrative purposes. Optionally, other components can also be labeled in this way. Furthermore, the labeling plates 1B can be transported in this way. In addition, the figures illustrate the interaction of the holding bracket 11A and the locking device 11B during locking. According to Figs. 7 and 8, in a labeling plate 1C, a locking device 11C can be formed on a further holding bracket 15, which is connected to the plate section 10 via a further film hinge 16 so as to be movable relative to the plate section 10. This locking device 11C is thus not formed directly on the plate section 10, but is connected to it via the further holding bracket 15 and the further film hinge 16.

[0065] The retaining bracket 12B and the additional retaining bracket 15 are identically designed, but oriented in reverse. The locking portion 13B of the retaining bracket 12B and the locking device 11C of the additional retaining bracket 15 are both hook-shaped, and in this case, also identically designed (only oriented in reverse). A recess is not provided laterally, but rather in the top side of the retaining bracket 12B and in the bottom side of the additional retaining bracket 15.

[0066] The retaining bracket 12B and the further retaining bracket 15 are connected to the shield section 10 on opposite sides of the shield section 10.

[0067] For locking, both retaining brackets 12B, 15 can be folded down by means of the film hinges 14, 16, so that the locking section 13B and the locking device 11C can lock together, see in particular Fig. 8.

[0068] When attached to the cable grommet 2 (see Fig. 9), locking thus occurs within the bracket bushing 20. To facilitate this, the locking section 13B and the locking device 11C have insertion bevels at the ends. The label 1C, and optionally also the cable grommet 2, have / have an elasticity that allows insertion and locking.

[0069] The label 1C is particularly easy to produce using injection molding and does not require a slider.

[0070] The sign mat 2 can of course alternatively or in addition to the labeling plates 1A according to Fig. 2A to 4B also have one, several or only labeling plates 1B and / or 1C according to Fig. 5 to 9.

[0071] Fig. 10 illustrates, using the example of the label 1A shown in Fig. 2A, for example, an additional securing element which can also be provided with any other of the labels described herein. The securing element is designed to secure the locking section 13A of the retaining bracket 12A in the locking device 11A. The securing element allows the locking section 13A to be inserted into engagement with and / or into the locking device 11A and prevents the locking section 13A from moving out of the locking device 11A. In the example shown, the securing element is in the form of a securing pawl K. The securing pawl K has an insertion bevel in the locking device 11A. Furthermore, the securing pawl K has a latching edge against which the locking section 13A located in the locking device 11A strikes.

[0072] Fig. 11A-14 show further examples of labels, wherein a locking section 13C-13E is secured against unwanted release in at least two mutually perpendicular directions (captive) on a locking device 11D-11G.

[0073] According to Fig. 11A, the locking device 11D has a receptacle and an insertion bevel leading to the receptacle. The locking portion 13C of the retaining bracket is formed by the free end of the retaining bracket. This can be guided into the receptacle through the insertion bevel. In the receptacle, the locking portion 13C is secured in all lateral directions with respect to its longitudinal extent. The receptacle shown in plan view in Fig. 11B has a base and four side walls.

[0074] According to Fig. 12, the locking device 11E also has a receptacle. This receptacle can be open in one or two lateral directions, but secures the locking portion 13C in both directions perpendicular to the shield portion 10. An optional, separate stop prevents removal of the locking portion 13C in one or both lateral directions in which the receptacle is open.

[0075] According to Fig. 13, the locking device 11F has resilient locking arms. In this case, the locking arms each have an insertion bevel and a locking edge. A slot is provided between the locking arms. The locking section 13D comprises an opening that can be snapped onto the locking arms. Alternatively, for example, only one such locking arm is provided.

[0076] According to Fig. 14, the locking device 11G is L-shaped. The locking device 11G has a projection directed toward the shield section 10. The locking section has a recess. The recess can be placed on the projection and is secured there in five mutually perpendicular directions. The concept underlying the invention is not limited to the previously described embodiments, but can in principle also be implemented in a completely different manner.
