Description

Die Erfindung betrifft eine Stützklappgriff-Anordnung nach dem Oberbegriff des Anspruchs 1.The invention relates to a support folding handle arrangement according to the preamble of claim 1.

Stützklappgriff-Anordnungen der eingangs genannten Art werden als Hilfsmittel insbesondere im Bereich von Sanitärcinrichtungen eingesetzt und sollen durch ihrer variable Konfiguration insbesondere älteren und/oder gehbehinderten Menschen eine Abstützung oder Sicherung ihres Gleichgewichts bei Benutzung der Sanitäreinrichtungen ermöglichen.Support folding-handle arrangements of the type mentioned are used as aids in particular in the field of Sanitärcinrichtungen and should allow by their variable configuration in particular elderly and / or handicapped people support or secure their balance when using the sanitary facilities.

Aus der EP 1 093 751 A2 ist eine Stützklappgriff-Anordnung bekannt, die über eine in die Schwenklageranordnung integrierte Fallbremse verfügt, die bei Verschwenkung von der Nichtbenutzungsstellung in die Benutzungsstellung eine zunehmende Bremskraft aufbaut bis hin zu einer Blockierung der Schwenkbewegung bei Erreichen der Benutzungsstellung. Bei der bekannten Stützklappgriff-Anordnung sorgt mithin die Fallbremse nicht nur für den Aufbau einer gewünschten zunehmenden Bremskraft, sondern gleichzeitig auch bei Erreichen der Blockierungsstellung für die Aufnahme des jeweiligen Abstützmoment, das bei einer Belastung des Griffsrohres durch eine Person ausgebildet wird. Daraus ergibt sich für die Fallbremse bzw. für die kraftleitenden Teile der Fallbremse zumindest teilweise eine Dimensionierung, die über die zur Aufnahme der Bremskraft notwendige Dimensionierung weit hinausgeht, da die im Betrieb möglichen Abstützmomente diese Bremskraft beträchtlich übersteigen können.From the EP 1 093 751 A2 a support folding handle assembly is known which has a built-in the pivot bearing arrangement case brake that builds on pivoting from the non-use position to the use position increasing braking force up to a blocking of the pivoting movement when reaching the position of use. In the known support folding handle arrangement, therefore, the fall brake not only provides for the construction of a desired increasing braking force, but at the same time upon reaching the blocking position for receiving the respective support torque, which is formed at a load of the handle tube by a person. from that results for the fall brake or for the force-conducting parts of the fall brake at least partially a dimensioning that goes beyond the necessary for receiving the braking force sizing as the possible during operation Abstützmomente this braking force can exceed considerably.

Aus der GB 2 209 659 ist eine Stützklappgriff-Anordnung bekannt, die eine erste Anschlageinrichtung zur Definition der Nichtbenutzungsstellung und eine zweite Anschlageinrichtung zur Definition der Benutzungsstellung aufweist.From the GB 2,209,659 a support folding handle assembly is known, comprising a first stop means for defining the non-use position and a second stop means for defining the position of use.

Bei der bekannten Stützklappgriff-Anordnung bildet die in der Nichtbenutzungsstellung wirksame erste Anschlageinrichtung eine relativ große Momentenbasis, wohingegen die für die Benutzungsstellung vorgesehene Anschlageinrichtung, in der also tatsächlich große Kräfte auf die Schwenklagcranordnung wirken, aufgrund ihrer Ausgestaltung eine relativ kleine Momentenbasis ausbildet.In the known support flap handle arrangement, the effective in the non-use position first stop means forms a relatively large moment base, whereas intended for the use position stop means, in which thus actually act large forces on the Schwenklagcranordnung, due to their design forms a relatively small moment base.

Der vorliegende Erfindung liegt die Aufgabe zugrunde, eine Stützklappgriff-Anordnung mit einer Schwenklageranordnung zu ermöglichen, die Anschlageinrichtungen aufweist, die den tatsächlichen Belastungen entsprechend ausgelegt sind, derart, dass die Anschlageinrichtungen ohne wesentlichen Einfluss auf die äußere Gestaltung der Stützklappgriff-Anordnung sind.The present invention has for its object to provide a support flap handle assembly with a pivot bearing assembly having stop means, which are designed according to the actual loads, such that the stop means are without significant influence on the external configuration of the support flap handle assembly.

Zur Lösung dieser Aufgabe weist die erfindungsgemäße Stützklappgriff-Anordnung die Merkmale des Anspruchs 1 auf.To solve this problem, the invention Stützklappgriff arrangement has the features of claim 1.

Erfindungsgemäß ist die Stützklappgriff-Anordnung so aufgebaut, dass die zweite Anschlageinrichtung zwischen einem freien Ende eines durch das Anschlussstück gebildeten Stützhebels und einem an der Montageplatte ausgebildeten Stützanschlag ausgebildet ist und sich die erste Anschlageinrichtung in kürzerer Entfernung zur Schwenkachse befindet als die zweite Anschlageinrichtung, wobei die erste Anschlageinrichtung einen exzentrisch zur Schwenkachse angeordneten Anschlagfortsatz aufweist, der mit einem korrespondierend angeordneten Stützanschlag zusammenwirkt und durch einen parallel zur Schwenkachse ausgerichteten Anschlagstift gebildet ist, der in eine Anschlagnut eingreift, die radial zur Schwenkachse verläuft, wobei ein bezüglich der Längachse der Anschlagnut axiales Nutende den Stützanschlag bildet.According to the invention the support flap handle assembly is constructed so that the second stop means is formed between a free end of a support lever formed by the connector and a support stop formed on the mounting plate and the first stop means is located at a shorter distance from the pivot axis than the second stop means, wherein the first stop device an abutment extension arranged eccentrically to the pivot axis, which cooperates with a correspondingly arranged support stop and is formed by a stop pin aligned parallel to the pivot axis, which engages in a stop groove which extends radially to the pivot axis, wherein an axial groove end with respect to the longitudinal axis of the stop groove forms the support stop ,

Die erfindungsgemäße Stützklappgriff-Anordnung weist somit funktional differenzierte und unabhängig voneinander angeordnete Anschlagcinrichtungen auf, die aufgrund ihrer funktionalen Differenzierung hinsichtlich ihrer notwendigen Funktion optimiert werden können. Dabei wird davon ausgegangen, dass die erste Anschlageinrichtung, die einen Schwenkanschlag der Stützklappgriff-Anordnung bzw. des Griffrohrs relativ zur Befestigungswand der Anordnung definiert, lediglich relativ geringe Stützmomente aufnehmen muss, da sich in der durch die erste Anschlageinrichtung definierten Nichtbenutzungsstellung das Griffrohr gegen die Wand verschwenkt befindet und somit keiner Stützlast ausgesetzt ist. Die erste Anschlageinrichtung hat somit im Wesentlichen lediglich die Aufgabe, einen definierten Abstand des Griffrohrs von der Wand in der Nichtbenutzungsstellung zu ermöglichen, um etwa ein Anschlagen des Griffrohrs gegen die Wand verhindern zu können. Bei den somit vorherrschenden geringen Kräften kann auch eine entsprechend kleine Dimensionierung der ersten Anschlageinrichtung erfolgen mit einer relativ kleinen Momentenbasis zur Aufnahme des Abstützmoments, sodass ein entsprechend geringer Abstand der ersten Anschlageinrichtung gegenüber der Schwenkachse, also die Anordnung der ersten Anschlageinrichtung in relativer Nähe zur Schwenkachse, möglich ist. Die erste Anschlageinrichtung kann aufgrund ihrer somit ermöglichten kleinen Dimensionierung unmittelbar im Bereich der Schwenkachse angeordnet werden, ohne dass dies Einfluss auf die von außen wahrnehmbare Dimensionierung der Schwcnklagcranordnung hätte, sodass eine in der Anmutung als leicht wahrnehmbare Konstruktion der Schwcnklageranordnung möglich wird.The support flap handle assembly according to the invention thus has functionally differentiated and independently arranged Anschlagcinrichtungen that can be optimized due to their functional differentiation in terms of their necessary function. It is assumed that the first stop device, which defines a pivot stop of the support folding handle assembly or the handle tube relative to the mounting wall of the arrangement, only relatively small support moments must absorb, as defined in the non-use position defined by the first stop means, the handle tube against the wall is pivoted and thus no vertical load is exposed. The first stop device thus has essentially only the task of allowing a defined distance of the handle tube from the wall in the non-use position, in order to prevent about a striking the handle tube against the wall can. Given the thus prevailing low forces, a correspondingly small dimensioning of the first stop device can also take place with a relatively small torque base for receiving the support torque, so that a correspondingly small distance between the first stop device and the pivot axis, ie the arrangement of the first stop device in relative proximity to the pivot axis, is possible. The first stop device can be arranged due to their thus allowed small dimensions directly in the region of the pivot axis, without affecting the externally perceptible dimensions of the Schwcnklagcranordnung, so that in appearance as easily perceptible construction of Schwcnklageranordnung is possible.

Dcmgcgenüber dient die zweite Anschlageinrichtung zur Aufnahme des durch die Stützlast in der Benutzungsstellung erzeugten Stütz- oder Reaktionsmoments, sodass eine im Vergleich zur ersten Anschlageinrichtung große Momentenbasis zur Aufnahme des entsprechenden Abstützmomcnts vorteilhaft ist. Diese Momentenbasis wird dadurch geschaffen, dass das sich von der Schwenkachse bis zum Ende des Anschlussstück erstreckende Teilstück des Anschlussstücks als Stützhebel genutzt wird, der sich an der Montageplatte abstützt. Da sich das Anschlussstück zwischen den Lagerwangen erstreckt, ist die zweite Anschlageinrichtung nach außen von den Lagerwangen abgedeckt und verändert somit trotz ihrer massiven Ausgestaltung nicht die äußere Erscheinung der Stützklappgriff-Anordnung.The second stop device serves for receiving the support or reaction torque generated by the support load in the use position, so that a large torque base, which is large in comparison to the first stop device, for receiving the corresponding support mechanism is advantageous. This torque base is created by the fact that the extending from the pivot axis to the end of the connector portion of the connector is used as a support lever, which is supported on the mounting plate. Since the connecting piece extends between the bearing cheeks, the second stop device is covered to the outside by the bearing cheeks and thus does not change the outer appearance of the support flap handle assembly despite its massive design.

Im Zusammenhang mit der Erfindung ist der Begriff "Montageplatte" nicht beschränkt auf eine plattenförmige Ausgestaltung zu verstehen, sondern allgemein als eine Wandanschlusseinrichtung, die eine rückseitige Anlage an die Befestigungswand ermöglicht.In the context of the invention, the term "mounting plate" is to be understood not limited to a plate-like configuration, but generally as a Wandanschlusseinrichtung, which allows a rear abutment against the mounting wall.

Die erste Anschlageinrichtung weist einen exzentrisch zur Schwenkachse angeordneten Aaschlagfortsatz auf, der mit einem korrespondierend angeordneten Stützanschlag zusammenwirkt. Dabei ist es grundsätzlich für die Funktion der ersten Anschlageinrichtung gleichbedeutend, ob sich der Anschlagfortsatz an der Lagerwange und der korrespondierende Stützanschlag am Anschlussstück befindet oder umgekehrt. In jedem Fall stellen der Anschlagfortsatz und der Stützanschlag klein dimensionierte Einrichtungen dar, die aufgrund ihrer Anordnung in relativer Nähe zur Schwenkachse von außen kaum wahrnehmbare sind.The first stop device has an eccentric to the pivot axis arranged Aaschlagfortsatz, which cooperates with a correspondingly arranged support stop. It is synonymous in principle for the function of the first stop means, whether the stop extension on the bearing cheek and the corresponding support stop on the connector is or vice versa. In any case, the stop extension and the support stop represent small-sized devices that are hardly noticeable from the outside due to their arrangement in relative proximity to the pivot axis.

Als besonders vorteilhaft erweist es sich, wenn der Anschlagfortsatz durch einen parallel zur Schwenkachse ausgerichteten Anschlagstift gebildet ist, der in eine Anschlagnut eingreift, die radial zur Schwenkachse verläuft, wobei ein bezüglich der Längsachse der Anschlagnut axiales Nutende den Stützanschlag bildet. Aufgrund der Ausgestaltung der ersten Anschlageinrichtung als Eingriffseinrichtung mit einem Bewegungsfreiheitsgrad, wird eine besonders platzsparende Ausgestaltung der ersten Anschlageinrichtung ermöglicht.It proves to be particularly advantageous if the stop extension is formed by a stop pin aligned parallel to the pivot axis, which engages in a stop groove which extends radially to the pivot axis, wherein an axial groove end forms the support stop with respect to the longitudinal axis of the stop groove. Due to the design The first stop device as engaging means with a degree of freedom of movement, a particularly space-saving design of the first stop means is possible.

Wenn der insbesondere als Anschlagstift ausgebildeter Anschlagfortsatz an einer Lagerwange angeordnet ist und die Anschlagnut in einer Stirnfläche einer auf der Schwenkachse angeordneten Achshülse ausgebildet ist, kann die Ausbildung der Anschlagnut unabhängig vom Anschlussstück erfolgen, sodass die Ausgestaltung des Anschlussstückes und insbesondere die Wahl des Materials zur Herstellung des Anschlussstücks unabhängig von einer Eignung des Materials zur Ausbildung der Anschlagnut erfolgen kann.If the stop extension designed in particular as a stop pin is arranged on a bearing cheek and the stop groove is formed in an end face of an axle sleeve arranged on the pivot axis, the stop groove can be formed independently of the connecting piece, so that the configuration of the connecting piece and in particular the choice of material for the production the connection piece can be made independently of a suitability of the material for forming the stopper groove.

Besonders vorteilhaft ist es, wenn die Achshülse, die mit der Anschlagnut versehen ist, gleichzeitig zur Aufnahme der Schwenkachse dient, sodass die Ausbildung der Anschlagnut für die erste Anschlageinrichtung unmittelbar im Zusammenhang mit der Bearbeitung des entsprechenden Halbzeuges zur Ausbildung der Schwenkachse erfolgen kann und insbesondere die Ausbildung der Achsnut erfolgen kann, ohne dass hierdurch die Notwendigkeit eines weiteren Bauteils neben der ohnehin zur Aufnahme der Schwenkachse benötigten Lagerhülse erforderlich ist.It is particularly advantageous if the axle sleeve, which is provided with the stop groove, simultaneously serves to receive the pivot axis, so that the formation of the stop groove for the first stop device can take place directly in connection with the processing of the corresponding semi-finished product to form the pivot axis, and in particular the Formation of the axial groove can be made without thereby the need for a further component in addition to the already required for receiving the pivot axis bearing sleeve is required.

Hinsichtlich der Ausgestaltung der zweiten Anschlageinrichtung erweist es sich als besonders vorteilhaft, wenn die zweite Anschlageinrichtung einen Stützanschlag aufweist, der sich als Traverse zwischen den Lagerwangen des Lagerbocks erstreckt, sodass der Stützanschlag gleichzeitig zur Stabilisierung bzw. Versteifung der Lagerwangen gegeneinander dient.With regard to the configuration of the second stop device, it proves to be particularly advantageous if the second stop device has a support stop, which extends as a cross member between the bearing cheeks of the bearing block, so that the support stop simultaneously serves to stabilize or stiffen the bearing cheeks against each other.

Nachfolgend wird eine bevorzugte Ausführungsform der Erfindung anhand der Zeichnung näher erläutert.Hereinafter, a preferred embodiment of the invention will be explained in more detail with reference to the drawing.

Zur deutlicheren Darstellung einer zwischen der Montageplatte 21 und dem Griffrohrende 35 bzw. dem Anschlussstück 37 ausgebildeten Schwenklageranordnung 50, die die in Fig. 2 dargestellte Benutzungsstellung und die in Fig. 3 dargestellte Nichtbenutzungsstellung der Stützklappgriff-Anordnung 20 ermöglicht, ist die Schwenklageranordnung 50 abweichend von den Darstellungen in den Fig. 2 und 3 in den Fig. 7 und 8 jeweils ohne das Dekorgehäuse 23 in Benutzungsstellung ( Fig. 7 ) und Nichtbenutzungsstellung ( Fig. 8 ) dargestellt. Dabei zeigen die Fig. 7 und 8 , die in Fig. 9 in isometrischer Darstellung gezeigte Achshülse 34, die in das Anschlussstück 37 derart eingesetzt ist, dass die Achshülse 34, wie in Fig. 6 gezeigt, mit ihren axialen Stirnflächen 51 gegenüberliegend von Innenseiten 52 der Lagerwangen 28, 29 angeordnet ist. Die Lagerwangen 28, 29 weisen aus den Innenseiten 52 achsenparallel zur Schwenkachse 33 hervorragende Anschlagstifte 53 auf, die zur Ausbildung einer ersten Anschlageinrichtung 40 in eine Anschlagnut 54 eingreifen, die bei dem dargestellten Ausführungsbeispiel jeweils in den Stirnflächen 51 der Achshülse 34 ausgebildet sind.To more clearly illustrate a between the mounting plate 21 and the handle tube end 35 and the connecting piece 37 formed pivot bearing assembly 50, the in Fig. 2 shown usage position and the in Fig. 3 illustrated non-use position of the support flap handle assembly 20 allows the pivot bearing assembly 50 is different from the illustrations in the FIGS. 2 and 3 in the FIGS. 7 and 8 each without the decorative housing 23 in the use position ( Fig. 7 ) and non-use position ( Fig. 8 ). The show FIGS. 7 and 8 , in the Fig. 9 Shaft 34 shown in an isometric view, which is inserted into the connecting piece 37 such that the Axle sleeve 34, as in Fig. 6 shown with its axial end faces 51 opposite from inner sides 52 of the bearing cheeks 28, 29 is arranged. The bearing cheeks 28, 29 have from the inner sides 52 axis parallel to the pivot axis 33 outstanding stop pins 53 which engage in the formation of a first stop means 40 in a stop 54, which are formed in the illustrated embodiment, respectively in the end faces 51 of the axle sleeve 34.

In den Fig. 7 und 8 ist zur besseren Darstellung der Eingriffsverhältnisse die in den Fig. 5 und 6 linke Lagerwange 28 transparent dargestellt, wobei der aus der Innenseite 52 der Lagerwange 28 hervorragende Anschlagstift 53 in die Anschlagnut 54, die im vorliegenden Fall etwa nierenförmig ausgebildet ist und sich über einen Viertelkreisumfang konzentrisch zur Schwenkachse 33 erstreckt, eingreift. Die Anschlagnut 54 weist zwei bezüglich einer Längsachse 55 der Anschlagnut 54 axiale Nutenden 56 und 57 auf. In der in Fig. 7 dargestellten Benutzungsstellung der Stützklappgriff-Anordnung 20 stützt sich zur Ausbildung einer zweiten Anschlageinrichtung 41 das Anschlussstück 37 gegen den Stützanschlag 46 der Montageplatte 21 ab, sodass ein zwischen der Schwenkachse 33 und dem Stützanschlag 46 durch das Anschlussstück 37 gebildeter Stützhebel 42 eine Momentenbasis zur Aufnahme eines durch eine Stützlast L um die Schwenkachse 33 wirkenden Belastungsmoments bildet.In the FIGS. 7 and 8 is for better representation of the engagement conditions in the FIGS. 5 and 6 left bearing cheek 28 shown transparent, wherein the protruding from the inner side 52 of the bearing cheek 28 stop pin 53 in the stopper groove 54 which is formed in the present case approximately kidney-shaped and extends over a quarter circle circumference concentric to the pivot axis 33 engages. The stopper groove 54 has two with respect to a longitudinal axis 55 of the stopper 54 axial groove ends 56 and 57. In the in Fig. 7 shown use position of the support flap handle assembly 20 is based to form a second stop means 41, the connector 37 against the support stop 46 of the mounting plate 21, so that formed between the pivot axis 33 and the support stop 46 through the connector 37 support lever 42 a torque base for receiving a through a support load L forms about the pivot axis 33 acting load torque.

In der in Fig. 7 dargestellten Benutzungsstellung ist der in die Anschlagnut 54 eingreifende Anschlagstift 53 von dem benachbarten Nutende 57 beabstandet und somit unbelastet.In the in Fig. 7 shown use position of engaging in the stop 54 stop pin 53 is spaced from the adjacent groove end 57 and thus unloaded.

In der in Fig. 8 dargestellten Nichtbenutzungsstellung ist die Achshülse 34 zusammen mit dem Griffrohr 36 um die Schwenkachse 33 soweit verschwenkt, bis der Anschlagstift 53 gegen das in Fig. 8 linke Nutende 56 anliegt, sodass das Nutende 56 einen entsprechenden Stützanschlag definiert. In dieser Nichtbenutzungsstellung ist der Anschlagstift 53 maximal mit der Kraft belastet, die sich aus dem Rückstellmoment ergibt, dass durch die auf das Griffrohr 36 wirkende Rückstellkraft R gebildet wird, die erforderlich ist, um das Griffrohr 36 gegen eine Befestigungswand 24, die zur Wandbefestigung der Montageplatte 21 dient, zu verschwenken. Die Rückstellkraft R ist in jedem Fall wesentlich kleiner als die durch eine sich auf dem Griffrohr 36 in der Benutzungsstellung abstützende Person erzeugte Stützlast L.In the in Fig. 8 illustrated non-use position, the axle sleeve 34 is pivoted together with the handle tube 36 about the pivot axis 33 until the stop pin 53 against the in Fig. 8 left groove end 56 abuts, so that the groove end 56 defines a corresponding support stop. In this non-use position, the stop pin 53 is loaded to the maximum with the force arising from the restoring moment shows that is formed by acting on the handle tube 36 restoring force R, which is required to pivot the handle tube 36 against a mounting wall 24, which serves for wall mounting of the mounting plate 21. The restoring force R is in any case substantially smaller than the support load L generated by a person supporting himself on the handle tube 36 in the position of use.
