Definitions

  • the invention relates to a device for baking a marking into objects, in particular into the fiber jacket of a tennis ball, with the aid of at least one symbol made of metal corresponding to the marking, which is attached to a holder and can be heated to the baking temperature by a heating device.
  • Tennis balls are already known which are provided with indelible markings in the form of characters, numbers or letters individually or in combination. These markings are woven, vulcanized or burned in (DE-GM 19 52 745).
  • a baking stencil for baking a marking into the fleece-like fibrous material of a tennis ball, which is designed as pliers which grips the ball with a leg shaped in the form of a spherical sector and presses it against the stencil facing the ball on the other leg.
  • the stencil is heated electrically so that it penetrates the fleece-like fibrous material in the form of a knife and burns it down to the inner shell, so that the marking remains visible even through the abrasion that occurs during play (DE-OS 28 10 653).
  • Such pliers-like devices are commonly found in the Manufacturers, at the sales offices or in clubs to apply the desired markings, however, are usually not available to the individual tennis player when he is just starting to play with a new set of tennis balls or when he has an indelible mark on an object , like sports shoes, balls or other goods made of fabric, plastic, leather or wood.
  • the object underlying the invention is therefore to create a device of the type mentioned in the form of a mass article, which is extremely simple to build and operate.
  • This task is based on the device of the type mentioned by a lighter-like housing, on one open end of which the symbol is arranged, which protrudes to the burn-in depth over two opposite edges of the housing, and by a transverse wall formed at a distance from the end in the housing with at least one Loosened nozzle opening, which is directed towards the symbol, wherein a liquid gas storage and an externally actuated ignition mechanism are provided in the housing.
  • the housing edges forming the end face are expediently curved in a dome-shaped concave manner, the curvature, for example, of the shape of a tennis ball.
  • the device according to the invention has the advantage that it is just as simple as a lighter and can therefore be mass-produced.
  • the device can be operated extremely simply.
  • a heating time of just over 5 s is enough to burn a mark into the surface of a counter to ensure that it is made of fabric, plastic, leather or wood.
  • a tennis player will carry the device with him because of its manageability with his other utensils, so that he has it ready whenever he wants to start playing with a new set of tennis balls and considers it necessary to put markings to avoid confusion with exclude the balls of the neighboring square.
  • the symbol or symbols can be detachably held by metal webs on opposite housing walls.
  • the metal webs can be held tiltable with play on the housing side, so that their surface can align when pressed against an object to form this object by pivoting the webs in the housing-side holding opening.
  • the holding openings can be formed in the opposite housing walls or in wall-parallel housing-fixed webs.
  • the flame or flames which burn from the nozzle or openings provided on the housing transverse wall then heat the symbol or the symbols directly or by heat conduction via the fine-meshed network of metal wire which is provided at least in the vicinity of the symbol.
  • the symbol is sufficiently heated, for example at a temperature of 250 to 300 ° C
  • the device is pressed against the object to be marked, for example a tennis ball, whereby the heated symbol places the corresponding mark on the surface of the object, here the fiber material of the tennis ball, but only at the depth that corresponds to the protrusion of the symbol over the housing edges forming the front side, on which the object, for example the tennis ball comes to the concern.
  • the device shown in Figures 1 to 3 is used to burn a mark in the fiber jacket of a tennis ball. It consists of a parallelepiped-shaped housing 1, the side walls 3 of which protrude above a transverse wall 10 and end in edges 9 which delimit a dome-shaped concave front face: 2 which is adapted to the spherical shape of a tennis ball.
  • a refillable liquid gas storage device is provided as in a lighter.
  • the liquid gas storage is connected via an outlet valve, not shown, to a nozzle 8 in the transverse wall 10, which is directed towards the end face 2.
  • the outlet valve of the nozzle 8 and the ignition mechanism 13 are actuated with the aid of an adjusting button 7 arranged on a housing wall 3.
  • recesses 11 are provided for clamping metal webs 4, on which a symbol 5 in the form of the letter L is held.
  • the metal web 4 has an extension 12 at both ends, the cross section of which is smaller than the opening area of each cutout 11. This web holder enables the symbol 5 attached to the metal web 4 to be pivoted or tilted and thereby align the Symbol 5 with respect to the surface to be marked.
  • two symbols 5 are provided in the form of the letters D and V, which are adapted to the curvature of the edges 9 in recesses 11 in opposite side walls 3 of the housing 1 above the edges 9 above.
  • Each symbol 5 is assigned a nozzle 8 on the transverse wall 10.
  • Each nozzle 8 has an outlet valve, not shown, which also how the ignition mechanism 13 is actuated by an adjusting button 7- on a housing wall 3 in a manner known per se.
