Abstract

The invention relates to a device, in particular a garden device, having a band-shaped carrier that comprises an operating manual or other information that is provided as a multi-layer roll in the resting position. According to the invention, a hollow chamber is integrated in the device housing as a carrier support for the wound carrier and/or a self-winding film is used as a carrier.

Claims (13)

1 . A device, in particular a garden device, with a band-shaped carrier (RF) with visually readable information that lies rolled up in a carrier receptacle in a rest position as winding (WI) and can be pulled out of this receptacle by a handle element (GE) arranged on a first free end of the carrier manually through an opening against a return force in the carrier receptacle, rolling off in the form of a position of use extended outside of the carrier receptacle, and can be moved back under the action of the return force, winding up into the position of rest, characterized in that the carrier receptacle is formed by a hollow chamber (HR, HO) integrated into the device housing of the device and/or that the carrier (RF) is formed by a self-winding film.

2 . The device according to claim 1 , characterized in that the opening is slot-shaped.

3 . The device according to claim 1 or 2 , characterized in that the hollow chamber (HO) can be closed by a detachable covering element (KD).

4 . The device according to claims 2 and 3 , characterized in that when the hollow chamber (HO) is closed, the slot-shaped opening is present between a movable edge of the covering element (KD) and the device housing for passing the band-shaped carrier through it.

5 . The device according to claim 1 , characterized in that the device housing comprises at least two partial shells (T 1 , T 2 ) that each form a part of the limitation of the hollow chamber (HR).

6 . The device according to claims 2 and 5 , characterized in that the slot-shaped opening for passing the carrier through it is present between the facing edges (K 1 , K 2 ) of the two partial shells (T 1 , T 2 ).

7 . The device according to one of claims 2 to 6 , characterized in that a second end of the carrier that is located in the hollow chamber even in the pulled-out position of use has a widened-out part that is larger than the dimension of the slot-shaped opening.

8 . The device according to one of claims 2 to 7 , characterized in that one end of the carrier is fastened to a winding core.

9 . The device according to one of claims 2 to 8 , characterized in that the carrier lies in the hollow chamber in a floating manner.

10 . The device according to claim 1 , characterized in that a second end of the carrier is fastened as the outer end of the winding to the device and that the winding about the winding shaft is rotatably connected to the handle element.

11 . The device according to one of claims 1 to 10 , characterized in that at least one manually operated operating element (BE) for adjusting changeable operating parameters of the device is arranged on the device housing.

12 . The device according to claim 11 , characterized in that a side of the carrier (RF) pulled-out into the position of use and the operating element (BE) can be simultaneously viewed by the user.

13 . The device according to one of claims 1 to 12 , characterized in that the first free end of the carrier is connected to an inherently stable covering (SD) for the opening.
