Definitions
- the invention relates to a holder for tools and devices of various types and shapes, e.g. Household appliances, garden tools, writing and drawing tools.
- Such a holder is usually attached to a wall or to a stand, and it has the task of keeping the tools or devices readily accessible and, on the other hand, of keeping them in a simple manner by using a tool or which is no longer required at the moment Can push the device back into it immediately.
- Holders of this type have been known for a long time. So far, it has been built up from a number of resilient gripping jaws, each of which is fixed, mostly made of spring steel, which can each accommodate and clamp a tool or device in or between each other. Common to these holders is the major disadvantage that they cannot be used universally, since a holder only fits for tools or devices of certain dimensions and thickness, allowing only slight deviations.
- Spring steel as the material of the gripping jaws also has the disadvantage that it damages, for example, scratches objects that are softer than itself, and that it often breaks once it is used frequently.
- This is achieved according to the invention in that it mainly consists of at least one rail, which has a constant cross section in its longitudinal direction, and a plurality of gripping jaws, between which the tools or devices can be inserted, in that the gripping jaws are each formed from a strip of elastic material, the foot adjusts at both ends into a rail that engages in it and can be displaced in its longitudinal direction and is bent into a U-shape and inserted into the rail with both feet, so that the gripping jaws on its flanks and towards the feet are elastically more flexible are as in its curved middle part, and that the rail and the gripping jaws are designed so that the latter can not jump out of the rail under the normal use.
- the change in shape and stress is consequently divided evenly between the gripping jaws and therefore remains within moderate limits, so that the gripping jaws can be formed from relatively strong strips without the risk of breakage and with feet attached to them, which are solidly designed and integrated into the strips , so that they can never be torn out of the rail during use.
- the gripping jaws can be made not only of spring steel, but also advantageously of plastic instead; the latter treats inserted objects more gently and has a longer lifespan, thanks to the properties of the new Haltar mentioned earlier, which protect the material and if you know how to use the possibilities of plastic technology.
- the rail is some metal, e.g. Light metal, the most practical material, since it is unyielding even with a small wall thickness under the loads given here.
- the gripping jaws - then e.g. T-shaped - grip the rail with your feet, and the further possibility that the rail grips the feet.
- the rail grips the feet.
- An advantageous embodiment of the rail for this is that it encloses a rectangular cross-section, and that it has on one side of the rectangle for receiving the gripping jaws an opening which runs along the rail and is uniformly wide in this direction and which is narrower than the relevant side of the rectangle. You could call this a box profile with a longitudinal slot on one side, similar to what you would find on some curtain rods, or a U-profile with legs bent inwards.
- the rail can be straight or curved in its longitudinal direction, so that it only rests against a flat wall at its ends.
- an end piece which snaps and / or is screwed into place is provided, which holds the gripping jaws together in the rail.
- the rail is provided with a flange on at least one side or with corresponding eyes for attachment to a wall.
- plastic gripping jaws can be made suitable for heavy and heaviest tools and equipment by placing a compression spring between the feet of each gripping jaw to increase their clamping force. This can be guided by the rail and / or by pins protruding from the gripping jaws in the area of their feet. On top of that, the strips from which the gripping jaws are formed can be made thicker in the area of the feet, so that they are securely anchored in the rail is secured even under the heaviest loads.
- the rail has a self-contained, for example circular or elliptical shape - of course, the aforementioned end pieces are then omitted -; this embodiment is intended for attachment to a stand, as is known or obvious in many variants.
- the stand with the holder can then be placed on a desk, a kitchen table or a workbench, for example, and the stand can be designed in a known manner so that the holder can be rotated thereon. If you do not clamp or screw the stand onto its base, it is by no means inevitable that it will be shifted or knocked over too easily when inserting or removing an object.
- the strips forming the gripping jaws are made of plastic, it should be noted that they have to withstand constant bending and frequent changes in shape without losing their tension or breaking over time.
- polybutylene, a vinyl-ethylene copolymer or thermoplastic polyurethane are particularly suitable for this, and preferably using injection molding technology and are produced in such a way that the material flow during spraying takes place transversely to the later bend, that is to say in the longitudinal direction of the strips.
- These can be prefabricated in a flat shape, or already partially curved into the final U-shape, to which they are bent in the holder.
- the gripping jaws could also be produced in the finished U-shape, which they have inserted in the holder, in the opinion that the material and spraying technique can then simply be selected from the point of view of "as cheaply as possible”.
- the gripping jaws in the empty holder then have no prestress against one another, so that thin objects of some weight would not be held securely. In any case, it would then also have to be examined whether the material meets the requirements for the resistance and durability of the gripper jaw feet.
- the new holder is illustrated on the attached drawing sheet using some exemplary embodiments. Show there
- FIG. 1-3 shows a straight rail 1 with a flange 1 ', which forms a one-sided extension of the rail profile and has holes 1 "for fastening a wall or the like.
- the rail 1 is tightly sealed , held together by end pieces 3, gripping jaws 2 are used, which are formed by bending strips 2 'into a U-shape.
- the rail 1 encloses a rectangular cross-section, on one side of the rectangle for receiving the gripping jaw 2 a running in This direction has a uniformly wide opening, which is narrower than the rectangle side in question.
- the end pieces can be snapped in and / or screwed firmly at the end of the rail 1.
- the flange 1 ' serves to fasten the rail 1 to a wall.
- FIG. 7 shows a top view, FIG. 8 in section, an embodiment of the new holder with a self-contained, here circular rail 4, in which the same gripping jaws 2 are inserted; however, they can also be kept smaller if this holder is used exclusively for holding e.g. of writing instruments.
- the rail 4 has an upwardly projecting grip edge 4 'for the purpose described above, while one on the rail 4 e.g. glued plate 5 is used for attachment to a stand, which is known in numerous designs and is therefore not shown, and which can be designed to be rotatable or to receive the plate 5 in a rotatable manner.
- the gripping jaws are pressed together in the longitudinal position and then rotated until they have the intended position transverse to the rail. This is also easily possible if almost all or all of the other gripping jaws have already been inserted; to do this, push them aside in the rail. This can also be done for straight rails after having already used their end pieces.
- the strips 2 ', 2 "which form the gripping jaws 2 and are made of elastic material have a greater section modulus in their central part than at their two end sections which form the legs of the U-shape.
- the strip 2 ′, 2 ′′ forming the gripping jaws 2 is preferably made from polybutylene or from a vinyl-ethylene copolymer or from thermoplastic polyurethane.
