Description

Arrangement of headgear for persons connected via strip flags

The invention relates to an arrangement which is carried by the persons of a group on the head.

Posters, flags and standards can be handled by people in order to make information visible to bystanders and other people. The information may serve a variety of purposes, e.g. have an advertising content or express the affiliation of a person to a circle of persons having certain characteristics or similarities. The problem arises that they are usually attached to rods or rods and must be held up by a person with his hands in order to be able to be pivoted in a raised position.

Furthermore, it is e.g. at major events, where a u.U. It has become common practice for spectators or participants to wear clothing that has been specially decorated for the event. Thus, e.g. in sporting events, such as a foot, base or basketball game, at music events, such as a so-called open-air festival, but also at rallies and demonstrations, e.g. suitably decorated sweaters, shirts, scarves, scarves and hats worn. Thus, persons may have the affection of e.g. to a sports team, representing interests such as a trade union or political party. This, however, has the disadvantage that such items of clothing and the decorations thereon can be concealed, in particular, when the persons are crowded together in a crowd.

From DE 19 30 664 Ul a tensionable advertising cloth is known, which consists of at least two cloth parts. These can be provided with an inscription or pictorial representation and each have at least one cloth edge zipper halves on. The part towels can be coupled by closing the zipper halves along the respective edges of the cloth. Thus, a chaining of several part towels and a simple replacement of a part towel are made possible.

Furthermore, an arrangement for fastening a flag on a motorcycle helmet is described in the US 2006/0 021 117 AI. For this purpose, on the occiput area of the helmet shell of the motorcycle helmet a profiled groove following its contour is placed. A flag has a profile rail on one edge. This can be the flag in the profile groove are introduced to the motorcycle helmet. This allows easy attachment and replacement of the flag on the helmet shell.

Furthermore, from US 5 881 391 A, there is known a flag assembly for attachment to a screen of a headgear, e.g. a baseball cap. This has at least one elongated rod with a flag, which is attached by means of a fastener on the screen of a headgear. The rod is directed approximately vertically from the screen upwards. In addition, a banner can be stretched between two bars attached to the screen. Such held flag or a banner are thus freely visible over the headgear.

The US 9 010 000 Bl discloses an arrangement with at least one flag pole to which a flag is attached. The flagpole may be held by a clamp at its lower end to a body panel of a vehicle, e.g. on a trunk lid. Between two such flagpoles, a banner can be stretched over the vehicle.

The invention is based on the object of specifying an arrangement with which a group of persons, e.g. a common interest for bystanders can be made easily visible in a simple way.

The object is achieved with the arrangement of claim 1. Advantageous further embodiments of the invention are specified in the subclaims.

The arrangement according to the invention can be worn by the persons of a group on the head. This contains at least one strip flag with two side edges and at least two headgear, each having at least one holding means on an outer side. Hereby, the strip flag is fixable over the side edges so that the head coverings are connected to each other via the cloth of the strip flag.

The invention has the advantage that a togetherness of persons permanently and without physical effort of the parties can be made easily visible to bystanders. In this case, the arrangement according to the invention can be used for different sized groups of people. Thus, two persons standing next to each other can already be equipped with headgear according to the invention, which are connected to one another via a strip flag. In addition, a plurality of people, who are in a spatial proximity to each other and thus form a group, be connected in this way with each other. Nevertheless, the freedom of movement of the persons when selecting a suitable length of the strip flag located between a pair of people is hardly limited. It is thus readily possible in practice that the persons of a larger group, which are connected to each other via an inventive arrangement, but nevertheless spatially distributed in an individual way and can also change the locations. Thus, people of a group can arrange themselves within a large crowd in an individual way, eg chains, circles, stars or other geometric figures, outlines of emblems and much more. taking. Furthermore, in particular the surfaces of the strip flags or their cloths can have graphic designs adapted to a current occasion or serve as carriers for such.

The arrangement according to the invention can be applied particularly advantageously when a large number of persons take part in a major event, e.g. at a sports or music event in an arena or stadium, or at a demonstration gathering. In this case, the e.g. belonging to a small group by means of an arrangement according to the invention the togetherness e.g. make visible with the help of individual information on the strip flags for bystanders. Thus, e.g. Indications of a common interest or local or regional origin, on a particular range of services and much more. The invention offers the further advantage that the arrangement with the reproduced on the associated strip flags, mostly individual group information readily to the tuned to a particular event clothing items such. T-shirts and sweaters can be added.

In a preferred further embodiment of the invention, a holding means is designed releasably on at least one headgear. This makes it possible that a strip flag is separated from the respective headgear, as soon as an excessively large tensile force occurs in the cloth of the strip flag.

Such a detachable connection offers a multitude of advantages. Thus, the strip flags are easily interchangeable with other strip flags with changed labels and designs. Furthermore, this embodiment of the invention also provides increased accident protection. Thus, a side edge of such a strip flag by itself detached from a headgear, for example, if a third person caught in the strip flag or the carrying persons of the group accidentally move too far away from each other. In addition, it can reduce the risk that a strip flag torn or the associated Headgear is torn down from the wearer's head in an uncontrolled manner. In addition, such an embodiment of the invention makes it easier for an increasing or decreasing number of persons to be integrated in a simple and fast manner into a group of persons connected via the arrangement according to the invention or to be decoupled therefrom again.

For this purpose, a holding means on at least one headgear particularly advantageously has a hook-and-loop fastener strip, whereupon at least one strip tab can be fixed to a side edge. This can be possible without further aids, especially if the cloth fabric of the strip flag has a roughness, to which a Velcro strip can adhere. For a particularly secure releasable connection, at least one strip tab on one side edge can have an additional hook-and-loop tab, which can be brought into engagement with a hook-and-loop strip on the holding means of a headgear. This embodiment offers the further advantage that the value of the tensile force required for a detachment can be predetermined by a selection of the hook and loop fastener counterstrip, and in particular can be adapted to the type of the respective headgear and the desired intended use.

In a further advantageous embodiment of the invention, at least one retaining rod is executed extendable. This is e.g. Extendable by attachable extension rods. In a particularly advantageous embodiment, the at least one holding rod is telescopically extendable. As a result, the visibility of attached strip flags is further improved and allows height adjustment of the strip edges, especially for people of different sizes.

Nearly all types of headgear can be used in an arrangement according to the invention. In addition, a variety of designs and designs of strip flags and attachment to the headgear are possible. This will be explained below using the example of cap hats, headbands and cylinders as an example. Thus, the invention and advantageous further embodiments thereof are explained in more detail with reference to exemplary embodiments in which subsequent figures. It shows

Fig. 7 shows a detail of a chain-like arrangement with two examples

Cap caps and support rods as a means for holding the strip flags, which are each attached to an ear area on the outside of each headgear and telescopically extendable.

Fig. 1 shows a first exemplary arrangement according to the invention, comprising a pair of two caps Klla, K12a, for example in the execution of baseball caps, with the umbrellas Klld, K12d as headgear KU, K12. These can be put on by two different persons. The umbrella caps Klla, K12a are coupled according to the invention by means of a strip flag Bl, which is preferably stretched band-shaped. In this case, the individual, application-dependent surface design of the bunting sheet Blc is symbolized in FIG. 1 by a dot-shaped hatching. In the example shown in FIG. 1, the holding means Kllc, K12c for attaching the strip lug Bl are each located on an outer side Kllb, K12b of the respective headgear KU, K12, eg at an ear area. This is the strip flag Bl on the side edges Bla, Blb either fixed or releasably fixed, for example by means of Velcro strips. Advantageously, the strip flag Bl in this case at least one elastic, stretchable portion Bld. In another embodiment, the cloth of the strip flag Bl can be made elastic over its entire extent. This reduces the risk of tearing down a peaked cap from a wearer's head if either a third person accidentally gets caught in the strip flag or the headgear wearers are too far away from each other.

Fig. 2 shows an exemplary arrangement of five peak caps K21a, K22a, K23a, K24a, K25a as headgear K21, K22; K23, K24, K25, which are coupled according to the invention by means of strip lugs B21, B22, B23, B24 to a star-shaped arrangement. Thus, the person wearing the visor K21a occupies the center and is surrounded by the four persons who wear the cap hats K22a, K23a, K24a, K25a as headgear. Nevertheless, the arrangement according to the invention generally provides sufficient local mobility for the five persons. If the strip flags are correspondingly long and optionally additionally made of a stretchable material, this mobility of the persons involved is further promoted.

As holding means K21b, K22b, K23b, K24b, K25b for the strip lugs B21, B22, B23, B24 serve in the example shown in FIG. 2 preferably holding rods. These are each attached to the highest point on the outside of each headgear K21, K22, K23, K24, K25. In this way, the strip flags B21, B22, B23, B24 durable and without any effort the persons involved placed as high as possible and visible. The side edges of the strip flags can advantageously be designed so that they can be plugged onto a holding rod. This can easily be done e.g. be performed by turning the side edges and such sewing with the bunting so that channel-shaped pockets are formed at the two ends.

Advantageously, the support rods K21b, K22b, K23b, K24b, K25b can be resiliently flexible. This reduces the risk of injury on the one hand. Furthermore, a bendable design makes it possible that in the event of an inadmissibly high tensile force in a strip flag, one or both pocket-shaped side flanges can be pulled off easily by a bent holding bar on a headgear. Since in such a case, usually neither the retaining bar nor the strip flag are damaged, the arrangement according to the invention can be restored in a simple manner by re-attaching the end of a strip flag on the associated holding bar. Spring elastic bendable support rods can be made of a plastic, rubber or a bendable metal spiral spring, for example.

Fig. 3 shows a section of a chain-like arrangement with again two exemplary cap caps K31a, K32a as headgear K31, K32. As holding means K31b, K32b for the strip lugs B31, B32, B33 serve again holding rods, on which the end side edges can be plugged. In the example of Fig. 3, the support rods K31b, K32b are respectively attached to an ear portion on the outside of each cap K31a, K32a.

FIG. 4 shows a section of a further chain-type arrangement, which is comparable to the arrangement of FIG. Two headbands K41a, K42a are used by way of example as headgear K41, K42. Supporting rods K41b, K42b for the strip lugs B41, B42, B43 are holding rods which are respectively attached to an ear region on the outside of each headband K41a, K42a.

Fig. 5 shows a section of another chain-like arrangement with, for example, two peaked caps K51a, K52a as headgear K51, K52. As holding means K51b, K52b for the strip flags B51, B52, B53 serve again holding rods. These are each attached to the highest point on the outside of each headgear K51, K52. According to an advantageous further embodiment of the invention, each of the two support rods K51b and K52b in the example of FIG. 5 is equipped with two superposed winding devices K51c, K51d and K52c, K52d. These allow the ends of the strip lugs B51, B53 and B51, B52 to be automatically wound up as soon as the tensile force in the respective bunting has been reduced, e.g. due to an approach of the persons who wear the headgear K51, K52 wears off.

Fig. 6 shows a detail of a chain-like arrangement with, for example, two cylinders K61a, K62a as headgear K61, K62. The cylinder jackets K61b, K62b on the outer sides of the cylinders K61a, K62a serve as holding means for the strip flags B61, B62, B63. Thus, on the cylinder jacket K61b of the cylinder K61a, there are a first winding area K61c for the second side edge B63d of the strip lugs B63 and above this a second winding area K61d for the first side edge B61c of the strip lug B61 formed. Correspondingly, a first winding area K62c for the second side edge B61d of the strip lug B61 and overlying a second winding area K62d for the first side edge B62c of the strip lug B62 are formed on the cylinder jacket K62b of the cylinder K62a. By looping the ends around the respective cylinder jacket, the length of the associated strip flag can be easily adapted.

Fig. 7 shows a section of a chain-like arrangement with two exemplary peak caps K31a, K32a as headgear K31, K32, which are e.g. are comparable to the embodiment of FIG. 3. As holding means K31c, K32c for the strip lugs B31, B32, B33 serve holding rods, which are attachable to the side edges and telescopically extendable. In the example of Fig. 7, the support rods K31c, K32c are respectively attached to an ear portion on the outside of each cap K31a, K32a and shown in the extended positions.
