Description

Die Erfindung betrifft eine Vorrichtung zum Ausrichten und Festlegen von in einem gegenseitigen horizontalen oder vertikalen Abstand zu liegen bestimmter Befestigungsstellen von Nägeln, Stiften und Haken sowie zum Markieren von Befestigungsstellen für Wandplatten und Einbauteilen im Wohnungsbau.The invention relates to a device for aligning and fixing certain fastening points of nails, pins and hooks lying at a mutual horizontal or vertical distance, and for marking fastening points for wall plates and built-in parts in residential construction.

Das Aufhängen von Bildern, welches nicht mit einem einzigen zentralen Nagel oder Haken erfolgt, sondern über zwei beabstandete Stifte oder Nägel und dergleichen, ist schwierig und gelingt in den wenigsten Fällen. Das Festlegen bzw. waagrechte Ausrichten der beiden Befestigungsmittel kann meistens nicht durch Abmessen der Distanzen zum Boden oder zur Decke erfolgen, da oft beide nicht oder nicht genügend horizontal ausgerichtet sind. Im weiteren kommt erschwerend hinzu, dass gleichzeitig mit dem Festlegen einer gemeinsamen horizontalen Linie auch der Abstand gemessen werden muss. Eine Wasserwaage, wie sie beispielsweise von Bauhandwerkern benutzt wird, ist dabei nur bedingt hilfreich, weil es kaum möglich ist, ohne Mithilfe einer zweiten Person einerseits die Wasserwaage waagrecht zu halten und andererseits das Befestigungsmittel in die Wand einzuschlagen oder, wenn es sich um eine Schraube handelt, einzudrehen. Das Anbringen von Bleistiftlinien oder dgl. auf verputzten Wänden ist weder erwünscht noch ästhetisch tragbar. Auch das Markieren der Befestigungsstellen von Wandplatten oder von Einbauteilen im Wohnungsbau wie Möbeln, Kücheneinbauten etc. ist mit einer normalen Wasserwaage oft umständlich und es müssen, um genaue seitliche Abstände anzeichnen zu können, Bleistiftstriche angebracht werden. Diese lassen sich oft später nicht mehr entfernen. Oft werden anstelle von Bleistiftmarkierungen solche mit färbenden Stiften vorgenommen, die beim späteren Überstreichen jeweils nach einiger Zeit durchschimmern.The hanging of pictures, which is not done with a single central nail or hook, but with two spaced pins or nails and the like, is difficult and rarely succeeds. The fixing or horizontal alignment of the two fasteners can usually not be done by measuring the distances to the floor or to the ceiling, since often both are not or not sufficiently horizontally aligned. Another complicating factor is that the distance must also be measured at the same time that a common horizontal line is defined. A spirit level, like It is only of limited use, for example, for construction workers, because it is hardly possible to hold the spirit level horizontally without the help of a second person, and on the other hand to hammer the fastener into the wall or, if it is a screw, to screw it in. The application of pencil lines or the like on plastered walls is neither desirable nor aesthetically acceptable. Marking the fastening points of wall plates or built-in parts in residential construction such as furniture, kitchen fittings, etc. is often cumbersome with a normal spirit level and pencil lines must be attached in order to be able to mark exact lateral distances. These can often no longer be removed later. Often, instead of pencil markings, those with coloring pens are made, which shimmer through after a while after each time.

Der Erfindung liegt die Aufgabe zu Grunde, eine Vorrichtung zu schaffen, die das exakte waagrechte Aufhängen von Bildern, Rahmen und dergleichen sowie zum horizontalen oder vertikalen Markieren von Befestigungsstellen für Wandplatten und Einbauteilen im Wohnungsbau in einfacher Weise ermöglicht.The invention has for its object to provide a device that allows the exact horizontal hanging of pictures, frames and the like, as well as for horizontal or vertical marking of mounting points for wall panels and built-in parts in residential construction in a simple manner.

Gelöst wird diese Aufgabe durch die Merkmale des Patentanspruches 1.This object is achieved by the features of patent claim 1.

Die erfindungsgemässe Vorrichtung erlaubt es einer einzigen Person, ohne Zuhilfenahme eines Längenmessmittels zwei beabstandete Nägel, Stifte und Markierungen exakt auf gleicher Höhe, d.h. waagrecht, und zudem in exakt richtigem gegenseitigen Abstand an einer Wand anzubringen. Die Vorrichtung ermöglicht es weiter, sowohl sehr nahe beieinander liegende Nägel oder bei grossen Bildern solche, die sehr weit auseinander liegen, exakt auf gleicher Höhe, d.h. waagrecht, und in exakt vorgegebenem Abstand anzubringen. Die Vorrichtung ist äusserst kostengünstig in der Herstellung und kann daher von jedermann, der ab und zu ein Bild aufhängt, angeschafft und zudem ohne weitere Anleitung bedient werden. Anhand eines illustrierten Ausführungsbeispieles wird die Erfindung näher erläutert. Es zeigen:

The device according to the invention allows a single person without the aid of a length measuring device two spaced nails, pens and markings at exactly the same height, ie horizontally, and also at exactly the right distance from each other on a wall. The device also makes it possible to apply nails which are very close to one another or, in the case of large images, those which are very far apart, at exactly the same height, ie horizontally, and at a precisely predetermined distance. The device is extremely inexpensive to manufacture and can therefore be purchased by anyone who occasionally hangs a picture and can also be operated without further instructions. The invention is explained in more detail with the aid of an illustrated embodiment. Show it:

Die Vorrichtung 1 umfasst einen stabförmigen Körper 3 von im wesentlichen rechteckförmigem Querschnitt mit mindestens einer, vorzugsweise aber zwei Bohrungen 5 an den Enden des Körpers 3. Die mindestens eine Bohrung 5 liegt auf einer als feine Ritzung oder als Strich vorliegenden Linie 7, welche parallel zu den beiden Kanten 9 und 11 verläuft. Eine schlitzförmige Ausnehmung 13, welche den Körper 3 durchbricht, liegt ebenfalls symmetrisch zur Linie 13. Diese schlitzförmige, durch den Körper 3 hindurchgehende Ausnehmung 13 kann sich im wesentlichen über die gesamte Länge des Körpers 3 erstrecken oder im zentralen Bereich unterbrochen sein, um einer Verringerung der Biegefestigkeit der Vorrichtung 1 entgegenzuwirken. An einem Ende ist eine Libelle 15 eingesetzt, mit der die Vorrichtung bezüglich der Horizontalen ausrichtbar ist. Der Körper 13 ist vorzugsweise aus durchsichtigem, biegefestem Kunststoff hergestellt.The device 1 comprises a rod-shaped body 3 of essentially rectangular cross section with at least one, but preferably two bores 5 at the ends of the body 3. The at least one bore 5 lies on a line 7 which is in the form of fine scoring or a line and which is parallel to the two edges 9 and 11 runs. A slot-shaped recess 13, which breaks through the body 3, is likewise symmetrical to the line 13. This slot-shaped recess 13, which extends through the body 3, can extend essentially over the entire length of the body 3 or can be interrupted in the central region in order to reduce it to counteract the bending strength of the device 1. At one end a level 15 is inserted, with which the device can be aligned with respect to the horizontal. The body 13 is preferably made of transparent, bending-resistant plastic.

Die vier Längskanten des Körpers 3 können an den vier Ecken Stufen 17 und 19 aufweisen, die als Längsführungen für einen Läufer oder Schieber 21 dienen. Der Schieber 21 weist einen u-förmigen Querschnitt auf. Er kann aus durchsichtigem Kunststoff hergestellt und mit in die Stufen 17,19 eingreifenden Rippen 23 und 25 versehen sein. Diese Rippen 23,25 sind derart bemessen, dass die über der Oberfläche des Körpers 3 zu liegen kommende Frontplatte 27 in einem geringen Abstand zur Oberfläche des Körpers 3 liegt und damit eine Beschädigung oder Verschmutzung der Oberfläche beim Bewegen des Schiebers 21 ausgeschlossen ist. In der Frontplatte 27 ist eine Bohrung 29 eingelassen, die mit dem Schlitz 13 im Körper 3 fluchtet. Sowohl die mindestens eine Bohrung 5 als auch die Bohrung 29 im Schieber 21 liegt auf je einer am Körper 3 bzw. in der Frontplatte 27 eingelassenen vertikalen Richtlinie 31,33.The four longitudinal edges of the body 3 can have steps 17 and 19 at the four corners, which serve as longitudinal guides for a rotor or slide 21. The slide 21 has a U-shaped cross section. It can be made of transparent plastic and can be provided with ribs 23 and 25 which engage in steps 17, 19. These ribs 23, 25 are dimensioned in such a way that the front plate 27 coming to lie over the surface of the body 3 lies at a short distance from the surface of the body 3 and thus damage or contamination of the Surface when moving the slider 21 is excluded. A bore 29 is let into the front plate 27, which is aligned with the slot 13 in the body 3. Both the at least one bore 5 and the bore 29 in the slide 21 lie on a vertical guideline 31, 33 embedded in the body 3 or in the front plate 27.

Anhand der Figur 4 wird die Funktionsweise der erfindungsgemässen Vorrichtung 1 näher erläutert:

  • (1) Man legt die Vorrichtung 3 auf die Rückseite des aufzuhängenden Bildes oder Bilderrahmens 35 und schiebt die erste Bohrung 5 im Körper 3 über das Loch 37 an der ersten Aufhängelasche 39. Die Bohrung 29 im Schieber 21 wird über der Öse 41 in der zweiten Aufhängelasche 43 zentriert.
  • (2) In der Wand 45 werden auf der gewünschten Höhe ein Nagel 47 eingeschlagen oder Markierungen angebracht.
  • (3) Die Vorrichtung wird am Nagel 47, der in die Bohrung 5 eingeführt ist, angelenkt und so lange um das Zentrum des Nagels 47 oder eines Markierdorns gedreht, bis auf der Wasserwaage 15 die Horizontallage erreicht bzw. angezeigt wird. Danach kann mit einem Bleistift direkt mit dem zweiten Nagel 49 oder einem Markierdorn die Einschlagstelle markiert werden.
  • (4) Nun wird die Vorrichtung 1 zur Seite gelegt und der zweite Nagel 49 (und auch der erste, falls nur markiert worden ist) eingeschlagen. Dieser liegt nun exakt auf der gleichen Höhe h wie der erste Nagel 47, und folglich wird das Bild exakt horizontal ausgerichtet an der Wand hängen.
The mode of operation of the device 1 according to the invention is explained in more detail with reference to FIG. 4:
  • (1) The device 3 is placed on the back of the picture or picture frame 35 to be hung and the first bore 5 in the body 3 is pushed over the hole 37 on the first suspension bracket 39. The bore 29 in the slider 21 is above the eyelet 41 in the second Centering bracket 43 centered.
  • (2) In the wall 45, a nail 47 is hammered in or markings are made at the desired height.
  • (3) The device is articulated on the nail 47 which is inserted into the bore 5 and rotated around the center of the nail 47 or a marking mandrel until the horizontal position is reached or displayed on the spirit level 15. Then the point of impact can be marked with a pencil directly with the second nail 49 or a marking mandrel.
  • (4) Now the device 1 is put aside and the second nail 49 (and also the first one, if only marked) is hammered in. This is now at exactly the same height h as the first nail 47, and consequently the image will be hanging on the wall in an exactly horizontal orientation.

Es ist auch möglich, in der ersten Bohrung 29 und in der zweiten Bohrung 5 ein Zentrierdorn 51 einzusetzen oder einzuführen, mit welchem anstelle eines Bleistiftes, welcher durch die Bohrungen 5 bzw. 29 geführt wird, an der Wand 45 die entprechenden Markierungen zum Einschlagen der Nägel 47, 49 angebracht werden können.It is also possible to insert or insert a centering mandrel 51 in the first bore 29 and in the second bore 5, with which, instead of a pencil which is guided through the bores 5 and 29, on the wall 45, the corresponding markings for driving in Nails 47, 49 can be attached.

Die Vorrichtung 101 nach der zweiten Ausgestaltung der Erfindung umfasst zwei stabförmige Körper 103, deren Querschnitt aus Figur 7 ersichtlich ist. Die stabförmigen Körper 103 können Skalen 104 tragen, welche eingraviert oder durch Siebdruck oder ein anderes Verfahren aufgebracht worden sind. Vorzugsweise bestehen die durch einen Schlitz 113 beabstandeten stabförmigen Körper 103 aus einem gezogenem Aluminium-Hohlprofil, dessen Oberfläche später eloxiert worden ist. In den beiden stabförmigen Körper 103 stecken beidseitig Halteelemente 106 (siehe Figur 8), welche zwei Zapfen 108 umfassen, deren Oberfläche aufgerauht oder mit Rippen versehen ist und welche nach dem Einschieben in den Hohlraum 110 der stabförmigen Körper 103 in diesen satt anliegen und festgehalten werden. Die Haltekörper 106, die beidseitig die Enden der stabförmigen Körper 103 festhalten und exakt ausrichten, weisen im Zentrum eine konische Bohrung 105 auf. Vier weitere Bohrungen 112 dienen dazu, eine aus den Teilen 114 und 116 bestehende Abschlusskappe 118 zu befestigen. Der Teil 114 ist im wesentlichen rechteckförmig und weist eine kleine Bohrung 105 auf, die über der Bohrung l05a zu liegen kommt sowie eine grössere Ausnehmung 120, in welcher eine Libelle 115 eingesetzt werden kann. An der Unterseite des Teiles 114 sind nicht sichtbare Zäpfchen, welche dazu bestimmt sind, in entsprechende Bohrungen 122 am Teil 116 einzugreifen. Der Teil 116 ist ebenfalls im wesentlichen rechteckförmig und weist, der Ausnehnung 120 gegenüberliegend, eine Ausnehmung 120a auf. Zusätzlich ist seitlich am Teil 116 ein Rahmen 124 ausgebildet, in dessen Zentrum, verbunden durch als Fadenkreuz dienende Stege 126, eine Bohrung 128 ausgebildet ist. Sowohl die Bohrung 105 als auch die Ausnehmung 120a und die Bohrung 129 liegen auf einer parallel zu den Kanten der stabförmigen Körper 103 liegenden Linie 107. Die Teile 114 und 116 können durch Zusammenpressen mit dem Haltekörper 106 starr verbunden werden. Vorzugsweise liegen die in den Abschlusskappen 118 eingesetzten beiden Libellen 115 in einem Winkel von 90°. Dies ermöglicht es dem Anwender der Vorrichtung, auch vertikal übereinander zu liegen kommende Markierungen genau anzubringen.The device 101 according to the second embodiment of the invention comprises two rod-shaped bodies 103, the cross section of which can be seen in FIG. 7. The rod-shaped bodies 103 can carry scales 104 which have been engraved or applied by screen printing or another method. The rod-shaped bodies 103 spaced apart by a slot 113 preferably consist of a drawn aluminum hollow profile, the surface of which was later anodized. In the two rod-shaped bodies 103 there are holding elements 106 on both sides (see FIG. 8), which comprise two pins 108, the surface of which is roughened or provided with ribs and which, after being pushed into the cavity 110, of the rod-shaped bodies 103 fit snugly in them and are held firmly . The holding body 106, which hold the ends of the rod-shaped body 103 on both sides and exactly align, have a conical bore 105 in the center. Four further bores 112 serve to fasten an end cap 118 consisting of the parts 114 and 116. The part 114 is essentially rectangular and has a small bore 105 which comes to lie above the bore l05a and a larger recess 120 in which a bubble level 115 can be used. On the underside of part 114 are not visible suppositories, which are intended to engage in corresponding holes 122 on part 116. The part 116 is also essentially rectangular and has a recess 120a opposite the recess 120. In addition, a frame 124 is formed laterally on part 116, in the center of which a bore 128 is formed, connected by webs 126 serving as crosshairs. Both the bore 105 and the recess 120a and the bore 129 lie on a line 107 lying parallel to the edges of the rod-shaped body 103. The parts 114 and 116 can be rigidly connected to the holding body 106 by being pressed together. The two vials 115 inserted in the end caps 118 are preferably at an angle of 90 °. This enables the user of the device to also precisely place markings that come vertically one above the other.

Die beiden stabförmigen Körper 103 weisen beidseitig trapezförmige Wulste 130 auf, die zwischen den beiden Stufen 117 und 119 angeordnet sind. Die innere Kontur des Schiebers 121 entspricht der trapezförmigen Rippe 130. Im Zentrum des Schiebers 121 sind zwei elastische Lappen 132 ausgebildet, welche die notwendige Reibkraft zwischen dem Schieber 121 und den beiden stabförmigen Körpern 103 aufrecht erhalten.
Die Funktionsweise der zweiten Ausgestaltung der Erfindung gemäss den Figuren 6 bis 8 ist dieselbe wie bei der ersten Ausführungsform.The two rod-shaped bodies 103 have trapezoidal beads 130 on both sides, which are arranged between the two steps 117 and 119. The inner contour of the slide 121 corresponds to the trapezoidal rib 130. Im Two elastic tabs 132 are formed in the center of the slide 121, which maintain the necessary frictional force between the slide 121 and the two rod-shaped bodies 103.
The mode of operation of the second embodiment of the invention according to FIGS. 6 to 8 is the same as in the first embodiment.

Selbstverständlich kann die Vorrichtung nicht nur zum Aufhängen von Bildern, sondern ebenso vorteilhaft für das Markieren von Befestigungsstellen von Einbaumöbeln und auch das Ausrichten und Anbringen für Markierungen für das Verlegen von Keramik- und Natursteinplatten entlang von Wänden eingesetzt werden.Of course, the device can be used not only for hanging pictures, but also for marking attachment points of built-in furniture and also for aligning and attaching markings for laying ceramic and natural stone slabs along walls.
