Description

Die Erfindung betrifft einen rahmenlosen Halter für Bilder und dergleichen mit Abdeckplatte, Stützplatte und Klammern, wobei die Stützplatte Elemente aufweist, die zur Befestigung der Klammern an der Stützplatte dienen und wobei die Klammern an einem Ende mit einem Stütz- und Abdeckplatte am Rand umfassenden Klauenteil versehen sind und gegen die Rückseite der Stützplatte abgestützte Federschenkel sowie Öffnungen zum Aufhängen des Halters aufweisen.The invention relates to a frameless holder for pictures and the like with a cover plate, support plate and brackets, the support plate having elements which serve to fasten the brackets to the support plate and the brackets at one end are provided with a claw part comprising a support and cover plate at the edge are and have spring legs supported against the back of the support plate and openings for hanging the holder.

Ein derartiger Halter ist aus der DT-OS 24 21 215 bekannt. Er enthält eine Klammer zur rahmenlosen Befestigung von Bildern an einer Stützplatte, bei der ein Klauenteil Bild und Stützplatte umgreift, und die mit Federschenkeln an ihrem mit einer Aufhängeöse versehenen Rückenteil gegen die Stützplatte drückt. Die Klammer ist mit der Stützplatte verbunden und gegen Verschiebungen gegenüber dem Rand der Stützplatte gesichert, indem sie mit einer Abwinklung in eine in der Stützplatte parallel zu deren Rändern ausgeführte Nut eingreift. Um einen ausreichenden Einsteckraum für den Wandhaken zwischen dem Rückenteil der Klammer und der Stützplatte zu gewährleisten, ist im Rückenteil der Klammer zwischen der Aufhängeröse und dem die Stützplatte übergreifenden Klauenteil eine zur Stützplatte hin gerichtete Einsenkung vorgesehen. Zum Wechseln des Bildes muß die weitgehend starre Klammer aus der Nut herausgeschoben werden.Such a holder is known from DT-OS 24 21 215. It contains a clamp for frameless fastening of pictures to a support plate, in which a claw part engages around the picture and the support plate, and which presses against the support plate with spring legs on its back part provided with a suspension eye. The clamp is connected to the support plate and secured against displacements with respect to the edge of the support plate by engaging with a bend in a groove made in the support plate parallel to its edges. In order to ensure a sufficient insertion space for the wall hook between the back part of the clip and the support plate, a depression directed towards the support plate is provided in the back part of the clip between the hanging eye and the claw part overlapping the support plate. To change the picture, the largely rigid clamp must be pushed out of the groove.

Eine verwandte Lösung ist aus der DT-OS 24 46 630 bekannt, die sich gegenüber der erstgenannten Lösung vor allem durch die Art des im Rückenteil ausgeführten Federschenkels und die Ausführung des Einsteckraumes unterscheidet. Auch in dieser Lösung greift die Klammer mit einer Abwinklung ihres Rückenteils in eine parallel zum Rand der Stützplatte ausgebildete Nut ein.A related solution is known from DT-OS 24 46 630, which differs from the first-mentioned solution primarily by the type of spring leg embodied in the back part and the design of the insertion space. In this solution, too, the clip engages in a groove formed parallel to the edge of the support plate by angling its back part.

Derartige Lösungen für die Verbindung von Stützplatte und Federklammern haben den Nachteil, daß sowohl das randschlüssige Zusammenhalten von Abdeckplatte, Stützplatte und Bild als auch insbesondere die Aufnahme des Gewichts des gesamten Bilderhalters durch die zum Rand der Stützplatte gelegene Kante der Nut sowie durch die Abwinklung der Klammer übernommen werden müssen.Such solutions for the connection of the support plate and spring clips have the disadvantage that both the edge-to-edge holding together of the cover plate, support plate and picture, and in particular the absorption of the weight of the entire picture holder by the edge of the groove located to the edge of the support plate and by the angling of the clip have to be taken over.

Besonders im Falle von großformatigen und schweren Bilderhaltern bedeutet das, daß sowohl das Material der Stützplatte als auch das der Klammer sehr fest und widerstandsfähig sein muß. Besonders an das Material der Klammer werden hohe Anforderungen gestellt, da die gesamte Last des Bilderhalters an der Kante der Abwinklung angreift. Wird das Bild oft ausgewechselt, ist es unvermeidlich, daß die Kanten der Nut abgenutzt und beschädigt werden. Auch ist das Auswechseln des Bildes mühsam und zeitaufwendig, da dazu die Klammern in den Nuten verschoben und aus diesen herausgenommen werden müssen, was einen hohen Kraftaufwand erforderlich macht und sogar zu Verletzungen, wie abgebrochenen Fingernägeln, führt. Ferner besteht die Gefahr, daß die einzelnen herausgeschobenen Klammern verlorengehen können. Außerdem müssen die Nuten bis zu den Rändern geführt sein, was das seitliche Erscheinungsbild das Bilderhalters beeinträchtigt.Particularly in the case of large-format and heavy picture holders, this means that both the material of the support plate and that of the clip must be very strong and resistant. High demands are placed on the material of the clip in particular, since the entire load of the picture holder acts on the edge of the bend. If the picture is changed often, it is inevitable that the edges of the groove will be worn and damaged. Changing the image is also tedious and time-consuming, since the clips in the grooves have to be moved and removed from them, which requires a great deal of force and even leads to injuries, such as broken fingernails. There is also a risk that the individual clips pushed out may be lost. In addition, the grooves must be led to the edges, which affects the side appearance of the picture holder.

Der Erfindung liegt die Aufgabe zugrunde, einen rahmenlosen Halter für Bilder und dergleichen anzugeben, der eine feste Verbindung von Stützplatte und Bild und gegebenenfalls Abdeckplatte garantiert, der auch in großformatiger schwerer Ausführung einen sicheren randschlüssigen Zusammenhalt seiner Elemente und eine zuverlässige Aufhängung gewährleistet und bei dem trotzdem das wiederholte Auswechseln des Bildes auch im Wechsel zwischen Hoch- und Querformat schnell und einfach ohne großen Kraftaufwand und ohne größere Abnützung der Klammern oder der mit ihr zusammenwirkenden Elemente an der Rückwand der Stützplatte erfolgen kann.The invention has for its object to provide a frameless holder for pictures and the like, which guarantees a firm connection of the support plate and the image and, if necessary, cover plate, which, even in large-sized, heavy-duty design, ensures reliable cohesive cohesion of its elements and reliable suspension and at the same time the repeated replacement of the image, even in the change between portrait and landscape format, can be done quickly and easily without great effort and without major wear and tear on the clips or the elements interacting with them on the rear wall of the support plate.

Diese Aufgabe wird bei einem rahmenlosen Halter für Bilder oder dergleichen erfindungsgemäß dadurch gelöst, daß an der Stützplatte mindestens drei mit ihr fest verbundene Stifte mit Köpfen angeordnet sind und daß jede Klammer aus zwei durch ine im wesentlichen senkrechte Stufe gegeneinander versetzten, in Längserstreckung etwa gleich großen Abschnitten besteht, und daß die beiden Abschnitte gemeinsam einen federnden Bogen bilden, der sich im Bereich der Endkanten auf der Rückseite der Stützplatte abstützt, wobei der eine Abschnitt einen fest mit dem Klauenteil verbundenen Teil aufweist, und daß im anderen Abschnitt ein sich in der Längsachse der Klammer erstreckender Schlitz über die Stufe hinweg bis in den erstgenannten Abschnitt ausgeführt ist, dessen lichte Weite etwas größer als der Durchmesser des Schaftes der Stifte ist.This object is achieved according to the invention in a frameless holder for pictures or the like in that at least three pins with heads which are fixedly connected to it are arranged on the support plate and in that each clamp consists of two mutually offset by essentially vertical steps, approximately the same length in the longitudinal direction Sections exists, and that the two sections together form a resilient arch, which is supported in the region of the end edges on the back of the support plate, one section having a part firmly connected to the claw part, and that in the other section a in the longitudinal axis the slot extending bracket is made over the step into the former section, the clear width is slightly larger than the diameter of the shaft of the pins.

Weitere vorteilhafte Ausgestaltungen der Erfindung sind den Unteransprüchen und der Figurenbeschreibung zu entnehmen.Further advantageous refinements of the invention can be found in the subclaims and the description of the figures.

Der erfindungsgemäße rahmenlose Halter für Bilder oder dergleichen besteht aus einer Stützplatte 2 und mindestens drei Klammern 1.The frameless holder for pictures or the like according to the invention consists of a support plate 2 and at least three clips 1.

Die in Fig. 1 bis 6 gezeigten Klammern 1 des erfindungsgemäßen rahmenlosen Halters bestehen aus einem elastischen Material, wie z.B. Stahlblech, Stahldraht oder einem geeigneten Kunststoff. An einem Ende jeder Klammerlist ein Klauenteil 3 ausgeführt, das den Rand der Stützplatte 2 mit einem darauf angeordneten Bild 4 und einer Abdeckscheibe 5 umfaßt. Der auf der Rückseite der Stützplatte 2 angeordnete Teil der Klammer 1 besteht aus einem elastischen Bogen, der von zwei durch eine steile, annähernd senkrechte Stufe 6 getrennten Abschnitten 7 und 8 gebildet wird. Der elastische Bogen mit einer Höhe H zwischen der Stützplatte 2 und der Kante 9 der Stufe 6 stützt sich mit einem gegen die Stützplatte 2 drückenden Bogenschenkel 15 mit einer gerundeten Endkante 14 und der Endkante 12 der Klammer 1, die ebenfalls durch Umbiegen hergestellt ist und eine leicht auf der Stützplatte 2 gleitende Andrückkante bildet, auf der Stützplatte 2 ab.The clips 1 of the frameless holder according to the invention shown in Figs. 1 to 6 consist of an elastic material, such as e.g. Sheet steel, steel wire or a suitable plastic. At one end of each clip list, a claw part 3 is executed, which comprises the edge of the support plate 2 with an image 4 arranged thereon and a cover plate 5. The part of the clamp 1 arranged on the rear side of the support plate 2 consists of an elastic arch which is formed by two sections 7 and 8 separated by a steep, approximately vertical step 6. The elastic arch with a height H between the support plate 2 and the edge 9 of the stage 6 is supported by an arch leg 15 pressing against the support plate 2 with a rounded end edge 14 and the end edge 12 of the clamp 1, which is also produced by bending and one easily forms on the support plate 2 sliding pressure edge from the support plate 2.

Dabei müssen die den Bogen bildenden Abschnitte 7 und 8 nicht gekrümmt sein, sondern können beispielsweisse auch die in den Figuren dargestellten Formen aufweisen, wobei es wesentlich ist, daß etwa in der Mitte des Bogens unter der Stufe 6 ein Spielraum gegenüber der Stützplatte 2 besteht, der so groß ist, daß bei auf die Stützplatte gedrückter Stufe 6 deren obere Kante 9 under dem Kopf 19 des Stifts 18 hindurchgeschoben werden kann.The sections 7 and 8 forming the arch do not have to be curved, but can also have, for example, the shapes shown in the figures, it being essential that there is some play with respect to the support plate 2 in the middle of the arch below step 6, which is so large that when the step 6 is pressed onto the support plate, its upper edge 9 can be pushed under the head 19 of the pin 18.

Um eine höhere Andruckkraft der Klammer 1 zu erzielen, kann der vom Klauenteil 3 entferntere Abschnitt 7 stärker zur Stützplatte 2 geneigt sein, als der sich im Klauenteil 3 fortsetzende Abschnitt 8. Außerdem ist die Stufe 6 vorteilhafterweise leicht gegen die Senkrechte zur Klaue 3 hin geneigt.In order to achieve a higher pressing force of the clamp 1, the section 7 which is more distant from the claw part 3 can be inclined more towards the support plate 2 than the section 8 which continues in the claw part 3. In addition, the step 6 is advantageously inclined slightly towards the perpendicular to the claw 3 .

Im Abschnitt 7 der Klammer 1 ist ein Schlitz 11 ausgeführt, der sich längs der Achse der Klammer 1 über die Stufe 6 hinweg in den Abschnitt 8 hinein fortsetzt. Das Ende des Schlitzes 11 im Abschnitt 8 weist von der Stufe 6 einen Abstand A auf.In section 7 of clip 1, a slot 11 is made, which continues along the axis of clip 1 over step 6 into section 8. The end of the slot 11 in the section 8 is at a distance A from the step 6.

In einer anderen, in den Fig. 4 bis 6 gezeigten Ausführungsform endet der Schlitz 11 im Abschnitt 7 in einer Erweiterung 10.In another embodiment shown in FIGS. 4 to 6, the slot 11 ends in section 7 in an extension 10.

Der Abschnitt 8 der Klammer 1 bildet einen oder mehrere Bogenschenkel 15 bzw. 15' und enthält neben dem Klauenteil 3 auch eine Aufhängeöffnung 16 bzw. 16' für einen Wandhaken, Nagel oder dergleichen.The section 8 of the clamp 1 forms one or more arch legs 15 or 15 'and, in addition to the claw part 3, also contains a hanging opening 16 or 16' for a wall hook, nail or the like.

In der in den Fig. 1 bis 3 gezeigten bevorzugten Ausführungsform der Klammer 1 ist diese mittels des Stifts 18 und des Kopfes 19 stets untrennbar, aber verschiebbar mit der Stützplatte 2 verbunden. Außerdem ist nur einen Bogenschenkel 15 vogesehen, der mittig aus dem Abschnitt 8 herausgestanzt und in Richtung zum Klauenteil 3 herausgebogen ist und dessen freies Ende .14 leicht gerundet zurückgebogen ist. Die durch das Herausbiegen des Bogenschenkels 15 aus dem Abschnitt 8 entstandene Öffnung bildet in diesem Falle gleichzeitig die Aufhängeöffnung 16.In the preferred embodiment of the clamp 1 shown in FIGS. 1 to 3, it is always inseparably but slidably connected to the support plate 2 by means of the pin 18 and the head 19. In addition, only one arch leg 15 is provided, which is punched out in the middle from section 8 and bent out toward claw part 3 and whose free end .14 is bent back slightly rounded. In this case, the opening formed by bending the curved leg 15 out of the section 8 simultaneously forms the suspension opening 16.

Um den auf die Vorderseite des Halters übergreifenden Klauenteil 3 möglichst unauffällig zu gestalten, kann die Klammer 1 zum Klauenteil 3 hin verjüngt ausgeführt werden, so daß die Breite des Klauenteils 3 wesentlich geringer ist als die der eigentlichen Klammer 1 (siehe Fig. 3).In order to make the claw part 3 spanning the front of the holder as inconspicuous as possible, the clip 1 can be tapered towards the claw part 3, so that the width of the claw part 3 is considerably smaller than that of the actual clip 1 (see FIG. 3).

In einer zweiten, in den Fig. 4 bis 6 gezeigten Ausführungsform der erfindungsgemäßen Klammer 1 weist der Schlitz 11 im Abschnitt 7 eine Erweiterung 10 auf, durch die der Kopf 19 des Stifts 18 gesteckt werden kann. Diese Erweiterung kann rund sein, sie kann aber z.B. auch vieleckig sein. Eine entsprechende beispielsweise rechteckige Ausformung des Kopfes 19 gestattet es, eine längere Kontaktkante zwischen dem Kopf 19 und der Stufe 6 zu erhalteh. Außerdem sind in der in den Fig. 4 bis 6 dargestellten Ausführungsform zwei seitlich des sich in den Klauenteil 3' fortsetzenden Teils des Abschnitts 8 angeordnete Bogenschenkel 15' vorgesehen, die entsprechend dem Bogenschenkel 15 gemäß Fig. 1 bis 3 ausgestaltete gerundete Endkanten 14' aufweisen. In diesem Falle ist im Abschnitt 8 eine besondere Aufhängeöffnung 16' ausgeführt. Die Aufhängeöffnungen 16, 16' können rund, oval oder auch vorzugsweise dreieckig mit der Spitze zum Klauenteil 3 weisend ausgeführt werden.In a second embodiment of the clip 1 according to the invention, shown in FIGS. 4 to 6, the slot 11 in section 7 has an extension 10 through which the head 19 of the pin 18 can be inserted. This extension can be round, but it can e.g. also be polygonal. A corresponding, for example, rectangular shape of the head 19 makes it possible to obtain a longer contact edge between the head 19 and the step 6. In addition, in the embodiment shown in FIGS. 4 to 6, two curved limbs 15 ′ are provided on the side of the part of the section 8 that continues into the claw part 3 ′ and have rounded end edges 14 ′ designed in accordance with the curved limb 15 according to FIGS. 1 to 3 . In this case, a special suspension opening 16 'is made in section 8. The suspension openings 16, 16 'can be round, oval or preferably triangular with the tip facing the claw part 3.

Die Stützplatte 2 weist auf ihrer Rückseite fest mit. ihr verbundene Stifte 18 mit Köpfen 19 auf. Diese Stifte 18 können mit der Stützplatte 2 beispielsweise durch Vernieten oder Verschrauben verbunden sein. Sie sind in einem . solchen Abstand B vom Rand der Stützplatte 2 angeordnet,, daß der Abstand B zwischen den vom Rand der Stützplatte 2 abgewandten Kanten der Köpfe 19 und dem Rand der Stützplatte 2 der Länge L des Abschnitts 8 entspricht. Die Dimensionen des Stiftes 18 sind so gewählt, daß seine Länge geringer ist als die Höhe H des von der Klammer 1 gebildeten Bogens und daß der Stift 18 im Schlitz 11 gleiten kann. Der Kopf 19 kann außerdem ohne Schwierigkeiten durch die Erweiterung 10'der zweiten, von der Stützplatte lösbaren Ausführungsform der Klammer 1 gesteckt werden. Außerdem entspricht die Summe des Radius r'8 des Stiftes 18 und des Radius r19 des Kopfes 19 etwa dem Abstand A zwischen der Stufe 6 und dem Ende des Schlitzes 11 im Abschnitt 8 der Klammer 1.The support plate 2 has fixed on its back. her connected pins 18 with heads 19. These pins 18 can be connected to the support plate 2, for example by riveting or screwing. You are in one. such a distance B from the edge of the support plate 2, ,, that the distance B between the edges of the heads 19 facing away from the edge of the support plate 2 and the edge of the support plate 2 corresponds to the length L of the section 8. The dimensions of the pin 18 are chosen so that its length is less than the height H of the arc formed by the clip 1 and that the pin 18 can slide in the slot 11. The head 19 can also be inserted without difficulty through the extension 10 ′ of the second embodiment of the clip 1 that can be detached from the support plate. In addition, the sum of the radius r '8 of the pin 18 and the radius r 19 of the head 19 corresponds approximately to the distance A between the step 6 and the end of the slot 11 in section 8 of the bracket 1.

Vorzugsweise sind die Stifte 18 so an der Stützplatte 2 angeordnet, daß sie auf den Winkelhalbierenden der Ekken der Stützplatte 2 liegen und somit den Abstand 20 gleichzeitig zu beiden Seitenkanten der Stützplatte 2 aufweisen. Eine solche Stützplatte 2 ist durch einfaches Verschwenken der Klammern 1 um den Stift 18 in Sekundenschnelle vom Hoch- auf Querformat und umgekehrt umrüstbar.The pins 18 are preferably arranged on the support plate 2 in such a way that they lie on the bisector of the corners of the support plate 2 and thus have the distance 20 from both side edges of the support plate 2 at the same time. Such a support plate 2 is by a simple pivoting of the clamps 1 around the pin 18 can be converted from portrait to landscape format and vice versa in a matter of seconds.

In der bevorzugten ersten Ausführungsform ist die Klammer 1 untrennbar mit der Stützplatte 2 verbunden, indem die Klammer 1 bereits bei der Herstellung der Stützplatte 2 auf dem Stift 18 angeordnet ist. Eine solche Ausführungsform hat den Vorteil, daß keine Klammer 1 verlorengehen kann.In the preferred first embodiment, the clamp 1 is inseparably connected to the support plate 2 in that the clamp 1 is already arranged on the pin 18 during the manufacture of the support plate 2. Such an embodiment has the advantage that no clip 1 can be lost.

Der Zusammenbau des erfindungsgemaßen Halters erfolgt in der zweiten Ausführungsform durch einfaches Aufschieben der Klammer 1 auf die Stifte 18. Dabei wird der Kopf 19 eines Stiftes 18 durch die Erweiterung 10 des Schlitzes 11 geführt und der Klauenteil 3 über den Rand der Stützplatte 2 geschoben. Dabei gleitet der Stift 18 im Schlitz 11, wobei die Klammer 1 gegen die Stützplatte 2 gedrückt wird und auf dieser mittels der Endkanten 12 und 14 gleitet. Sobald der Kopf 19 des Stifts 18 über die Kante 9 der Stufe 6 gleitet, entspannt sich der Bogen der Klammer 1 etwas. Dadurch gelangt der Kopf 19 vollständig hinter die Stufe -6, wodurch infolge der Wahl der Abstände A und B die Stützplatte 2, das Bild 4 und die Abdeckscheibe 5 kantenschlüssig fixiert sind und die Federklammer 1 arretiert ist.In the second embodiment, the holder according to the invention is assembled by simply pushing the clip 1 onto the pins 18. The head 19 of a pin 18 is guided through the extension 10 of the slot 11 and the claw part 3 is pushed over the edge of the support plate 2. The pin 18 slides in the slot 11, the clamp 1 being pressed against the support plate 2 and sliding thereon by means of the end edges 12 and 14. As soon as the head 19 of the pin 18 slides over the edge 9 of the step 6, the arc of the clamp 1 relaxes somewhat. As a result, the head 19 comes completely behind the step -6, whereby the support plate 2, the image 4 and the cover plate 5 are fixed in an edge-locking manner due to the choice of the distances A and B and the spring clip 1 is locked.

Soll das Bild ausgewechselt werden, wird die Federklammer 1 leicht gegen die Stützplatte 2 gedrückt, die Kante 9 der Stufe 6 unter dem Kopf 19 hindurchgeschoben, wodurch der Klauenteil 3 den Rand der Abdeckscheibe 5 zum Bildwechsel freigibt.If the image is to be replaced, the spring clip 1 is pressed lightly against the support plate 2, the edge 9 of the step 6 is pushed under the head 19, whereby the claw part 3 releases the edge of the cover plate 5 for changing the image.

Da sich die Klammern 1 auf andere Weise nicht von der Stützplatte 2 lösen können, sind die den gesamten Halter mit Bild bildenden Teile fest und dauerhaft auch bei einem eventuellen Herabfallen des Halters verbunden. Da außerdem das Auswechseln des Bildes mit keinerlei Materialabnutzung verbunden ist, ist der erfindungsgemäße Halter praktisch unbeschränkt oft benutzbar.Since the clips 1 cannot be detached from the support plate 2 in any other way, the parts forming the entire holder with the image are firmly and permanently connected even if the holder falls down. In addition, since the exchange of the image is not associated with any material wear, the holder according to the invention can often be used practically without restriction.

Als besonderer Vorteil ist hervorzuheben, daß zum Auswechseln zunächst nur ein leichter Druck- wodurch die Verletzungsgefahr erheblich gemindert, wenn nicht ausgeschlossen ist - zum Zusammendrücken des Klammerbogens erforderlich ist, wodurch die durch den Kopf 19 und die Stufe 6 gebildete Sperre gelöst wird, sodann kann die Klammer leicht verschoben werden.As a particular advantage it should be emphasized that for the exchange only a slight pressure - which significantly reduces the risk of injury, if not excluded - is required to compress the clamp sheet, as a result of which the lock formed by the head 19 and the step 6 is released, then can the bracket can be moved slightly.

Das Zusammenwirken des Randes des Kopfes 19 mit den Rändern des sich über die Stufe 6 erstreckenden Schlitzes 11 ergibt eine sehr stabile Verbindung von Klammer 1 und Stützplatte 2, die nur gewollt gelöst werden kann. Dadurch eignet sich die Erfindung auch besonders gut für großformatige und schwerere Bilderhalter.The interaction of the edge of the head 19 with the edges of the slot 11 extending over the step 6 results in a very stable connection of the clamp 1 and the support plate 2, which can only be released intentionally. As a result, the invention is also particularly suitable for large-format and heavier picture holders.

Da auch keine in den Rand der Stützplatte mündenden Nuten existieren, zeichnet sich der erfindungsgemäße Halter für Bilder durch ein gefälliges, einheitliches Aussehen aus.Since there are no grooves opening into the edge of the support plate, the holder for pictures according to the invention is distinguished by a pleasing, uniform appearance.
