Description

TECHNISCHES GEBIETTECHNICAL AREA

Die vorliegende Erfindung betrifft ein Montagesystem zum Befestigen eines Sanitärartikels nach dem Oberbegriff von Anspruch 1.The present invention relates to a mounting system for fastening a sanitary article according to the preamble of claim 1.

STAND DER TECHNIKSTATE OF THE ART

Aus der EP 2 450 492 ist ein System zum Befestigen eines Sanitärartikels bekannt geworden. Obwohl mit dem System gute Ergebnisse erzielt wurden, insbesondere was die Haltekraft angeht, haben Installateure ein montagefreundlicheres System gewünscht. Auch die Druckschriften DE 10 2014 111607 und die EP 2 752 526 zeigen Befestigungssysteme für Sanitärartikel, wobei auch diese Befestigungssysteme Nachteile bei der Montage aufweisen.From the EP 2 450 492 a system for fastening a sanitary article has become known. Although good results have been achieved with the system, particularly with regard to the holding force, installers have requested a system that is easier to assemble. The publications too DE 10 2014 111607 and the EP 2 752 526 show fastening systems for sanitary articles, these fastening systems also have disadvantages in assembly.

DARSTELLUNG DER ERFINDUNGPRESENTATION OF THE INVENTION

Ausgehend von diesem Stand der Technik liegt der Erfindung eine Aufgabe zugrunde, ein System anzugeben, welches sich einfacher montieren lässt.Starting from this prior art, the invention has for its object to provide a system that is easier to assemble.

Diese Aufgabe löst der Gegenstand nach Anspruch 1. Demgemäss umfasst ein Montagesystem zum Befestigen eines Sanitärartikels, beispielsweise einer Klosettschüssel oder eines Urinals, ein Montagegestell, eine sich entlang einer Mittelachse erstreckende Stange mit einer Aussenzahnung, eine mit dem Montagegestell in Verbindung stehende Halteeinheit mit einem Gehäuse und mindestens einer bewegbar im Gehäuse gelagerten Klemmbacke, die einen zur Aussenzahnung passenden Zahnungsabschnitt aufweist, über welche Halteeinheit die Stange mit dem Montagegestell in Verbindung bringbar ist. Die Klemmbacke ist von einer Eingriffsposition, in welcher die Aussenzahnung in den Zahnungsabschnitt eingreift, in eine Freigabeposition, in welcher die Aussenzahnung ausserhalb des Zahnungsabschnittes liegt, bewegbar, so dass die Stange in der Freigabeposition in Richtung der Mittelachse relativ zur Klemmbacke verschiebbar ist. In der Eingriffsposition greift die Aussenzahnung in die Innenzahnung und es ist dann eine durch die Zahnung vorgegebene Bewegung möglich. Das heisst, es ist eine grobe Positionierung der Stange zur Halteeinheit möglich, wenn die mindestens eine Klemmbacke in Freigabeposition liegt und es ist eine Feinjustage möglich, wenn die mindestens eine Klemmbacke in der Eingriffsposition liegt.This object is achieved by the subject matter of claim 1. Accordingly, a mounting system for fastening a sanitary article, for example a toilet bowl or a urinal, comprises a mounting frame, a rod extending along a central axis with external teeth, a holding unit with a housing connected to the mounting frame and at least one jaw that is movably mounted in the housing and has a toothed section that matches the external toothing, via which holding unit the rod can be connected to the mounting frame. The clamping jaw can be moved from an engagement position, in which the external toothing engages in the toothing section, into a release position, in which the external toothing lies outside the toothing section, so that the rod can be displaced relative to the clamping jaw in the release position in the direction of the central axis. In the engaged position, the external teeth engage in the internal teeth and it is then one movement specified by the toothing possible. This means that the rod can be roughly positioned relative to the holding unit when the at least one clamping jaw is in the release position and fine adjustment is possible when the at least one clamping jaw is in the engaged position.

Das Montagesystem umfasst weiterhin ein Montagewerkzeug, mit welchem die Klemmbacke von der Eingriffsposition in die Freigabeposition bewegbar ist. Das Montagewerkzeug weist einen Hülsenabschnitt mit einem Hülsenraum auf, in welchen sich die Stange während der Montage hinein erstreckt, wobei der Hülsenabschnitt als Bauschutz für die Stange wirkt.The assembly system further comprises an assembly tool with which the clamping jaw can be moved from the engagement position into the release position. The assembly tool has a sleeve section with a sleeve space into which the rod extends during assembly, the sleeve section acting as construction protection for the rod.

Mit dem Montagewerkezuge wird erreicht, dass die Klemmbacke betätigt wird und die Stange ohne Eingriff in die Zahnung in die Halteeinheit eingeschoben werden kann und relativ zur Klemmbacke positioniert werden kann, während das Montagewerkzeug zugleich als Bauschutz wirkt. Hierdurch wird die Montage stark vereinfacht. Insbesondere muss der Installateur nicht mit mehreren Werkzeugen hantieren, sondern kann im Wesentlichen mit dem beschriebenen Werkzeug die Stange grob in der Halteeinheit positionieren. Die Feinjustage erfolgt dann nach entfernen des Montagwerkzeuges durch Drehen der Stange.With the assembly tool it is achieved that the clamping jaw is actuated and the rod can be inserted into the holding unit without engagement in the toothing and can be positioned relative to the clamping jaw while the assembly tool also acts as building protection. This greatly simplifies assembly. In particular, the installer does not have to work with several tools, but can essentially roughly position the rod in the holding unit with the tool described. The fine adjustment then takes place after removing the assembly tool by turning the rod.

Das Montagegestell ist typischerweise ortsfest in einem Raum mit der Gebäudestruktur verankert.The assembly frame is typically anchored in a fixed position in a room with the building structure.

Unter der Ausdrucksweise "Bauschutz" wird verstanden, dass die Stange bezüglich äusseren Einflüssen während des Einbaus durch das Montagewerkzeug geschützt wird. Das heisst, dass insbesondere beim Verlegen von Fliesen oder anderen Flächenstrukturen kein Mörtel oder ähnliches in Kontakt mit der Stange kommen kann. Somit wird die Funktion der Stange nicht beeinträchtigt.The term "building protection" is understood to mean that the rod is protected from external influences during installation by the assembly tool. This means that especially when laying tiles or other surface structures, no mortar or the like can come into contact with the rod. The function of the rod is therefore not impaired.

Vorzugsweise besteht das Montagewerkzeug aus einem Kunststoff.The assembly tool preferably consists of a plastic.

Der Hülsenraum weist eine Länge auf, welche den von der Halteeinheit bzw. vom Montaggestell frei abstehenden Teil der Stange im Wesentlichen vollständig aufnimmt, derart, dass die Stange im Wesentlichen vollständig von äusseren Einflüssen geschützt ist. Durch die Überdeckung des gesamten frei abstehenden Teils der Stange ergeht der Vorteil, dass die Stange im Wesentlichen vollständig geschützt ist.The sleeve space has a length which essentially completely absorbs the part of the rod which projects freely from the holding unit or from the assembly frame, such that the rod is essentially completely protected from external influences. Covering the entire freely projecting part of the rod has the advantage that the rod is essentially completely protected.

Vorzugsweise weist der Hülsenabschnitt eine vordere Stirnfläche auf, von welcher mindestens ein Betätigungsabsatz absteht, mit welchem die mindestens eine Klemmbacke von der Eingriffsposition in die Freigabeposition bewegbar ist.The sleeve section preferably has a front end face from which at least one actuating shoulder protrudes, with which the at least one clamping jaw can be moved from the engagement position into the release position.

Besonders bevorzugt sind zwei bezüglich einer sich mittig durch den Hülsenraum erstreckende Achse gegenüberliegend zueinander angeordnete Betätigungsabsätze angeordnet, wobei die Betätigungsabsätze gleich oder verschieden zueinander ausgebildet sind. Mit den zwei gegenüberliegend zueinander angeordneten Betätigungsabsätzen kann die Kraft gleichmässige auf die mindestens eine Klemmbacke aufbringen.Particularly preferably, two actuating shoulders are arranged opposite one another with respect to an axis extending centrally through the sleeve space, the actuating shoulders being configured identically or differently from one another. With the two actuating heels arranged opposite one another, the force can be applied uniformly to the at least one clamping jaw.

Vorzugsweise weist die mindestens eine Klemmbacke und/oder der mindestens eine Betätigungsabsatz eine zur Mittelachse winklig geneigt ausgebildete Betätigungsfläche aufweist, wobei der mindestens eine Betätigungsabsatz und die Klemmbacke über die Betätigungsfläche derart wirken, dass die Klemmbacke von der Eingriffsposition in die Freigabeposition bewegbar ist.Preferably, the at least one clamping jaw and / or the at least one actuating shoulder has an actuating surface which is formed at an angle to the central axis, the at least one actuating shoulder and the clamping jaw acting over the actuating surface in such a way that the clamping jaw can be moved from the engagement position into the release position.

Vorzugsweise weist der Hülsenabschnitt eine Raststruktur auf, welche mit der Halteeinheit und/oder dem Montagegestell einen mechanischen Eingriff eingeht.The sleeve section preferably has a latching structure which engages in mechanical engagement with the holding unit and / or the mounting frame.

Die Raststruktur ist vorzugsweise im Bereich des oder am Betätigungsabsatz angeordnet.The latching structure is preferably arranged in the area of or on the actuating shoulder.

Vorzugsweise weist der Hülsenabschnitt an seinem freien Ende, das gegenüber der Klemmbacke liegt, einen vom Hülsenabschnitt entfernbaren Deckel auf. Durch den Deckel kann der Hülsenraum gegenüber dem Montagegestell verschlossen werden. Weiter kann bei entferntem Deckel Zugang zum Hülsenraum geschaffen werden, wodurch die Stange bewegt werden kann.At its free end, which lies opposite the clamping jaw, the sleeve section preferably has a cover which can be removed from the sleeve section. The sleeve space can be closed off from the assembly frame by the cover. Furthermore, with the cover removed, access to the sleeve space can be created, whereby the rod can be moved.

Vorzugsweise entspricht der Innendurchmesser des Hülsenraums in einem der mindestens einen Klemmbacke zugewandten Führungsabschnitt im Wesentlichen dem Aussendurchmesser der Stange. Weiter ist der Innendurchmesser des Hülsenraums in einem sich dem Führungsabschnitt gegenüber der Klemmbacken anschliessenden Abdeckabschnitt grösser als im Bereich des Führungsabschnittes. Durch den Führungsabschnitt wird sichergestellt, dass die Stange im Bereich der Klemmbacken gut geführt wird, während gleichwohl durch den grösseren Innendurchmesser im Abdeckabschnitt Spiel für eine gute Bewegung vorhanden ist.Preferably, the inside diameter of the sleeve space essentially corresponds to that in a guide section facing the at least one clamping jaw Outside diameter of the rod. Furthermore, the inner diameter of the sleeve space is larger in a cover section adjoining the guide section with respect to the clamping jaws than in the region of the guide section. The guide section ensures that the rod is well guided in the area of the clamping jaws, while there is still play for good movement due to the larger inside diameter in the cover section.

Vorzugsweise sind zwei bezüglich der Stange gegenüberliegende Klemmbacken angeordnet, wobei die beiden Klemmbacken mit dem Montagewerkzeug symmetrisch zueinander bewegt werden, insbesondere symmetrisch zueinander voneinander weggedrückt werden.Preferably, two clamping jaws are arranged opposite one another with respect to the rod, the two clamping jaws being moved symmetrically to one another with the assembly tool, in particular being pressed away from one another symmetrically.

Vorzugsweise ist ein mechanisches Anschlagselement vorhanden, welches in einer Ausgangslage die mindestens eine Klemmbacke in der Eingriffsposition gegen eine Bewegung in die Freigabeposition blockiert, wobei das mechanische Anschlagselement durch das Montagewerkzeug von der Ausgangslage in eine Endlage bewegbar ist, in welcher die Klemmbacke die besagte Bewegung in die Freigabeposition ausführen kann.Preferably, there is a mechanical stop element which, in an initial position, blocks the at least one clamping jaw in the engagement position against movement into the release position, the mechanical stop element being movable by the assembly tool from the initial position into an end position in which the clamping jaw moves said movement can execute the release position.

Das Anschlagselement ist vorteilhaft, weil es eine Sicherung gegen eine Bewegung von der Eingriffsposition in die Freigabeposition bereitstellt.The stop element is advantageous because it provides security against movement from the engaged position to the release position.

Vorzugsweise ist das Anschlagselement im Gehäuse bewegbar gelagert und wird mittels eines Federelementes, insbesondere einer Druckfeder, in der Ausgangslage gehalten.The stop element is preferably movably mounted in the housing and is held in the starting position by means of a spring element, in particular a compression spring.

Vorzugsweise wird die mindestens eine Klemmbacke mit einem Federelement, insbesondere einer Blattfeder, gegen die Stange gedrückt.The at least one clamping jaw is preferably pressed against the rod with a spring element, in particular a leaf spring.

Vorzugsweise ist das auf die Klemmbacke wirkende Federelement auf dem im Gehäuse bewegbarem Anschlagselement angeordnet. Das heisst, das Federelement wird ebenfalls im Gehäuse verschoben. Das Federelement kann dann vorteilhaferweise so ausgebildet sein, dass die Federkraft in der Endlage des Anschlagselementes tiefer ist, als in der Ausgangslage, was die Bewegung der Klemmbacken unterstützt.The spring element acting on the clamping jaw is preferably arranged on the stop element movable in the housing. This means that the spring element is also moved in the housing.

BESCHREIBUNG BEVORZUGTER AUSFÜHRUNGSFORMENDESCRIPTION OF PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS

In den Figuren wird ein Montagesystem 1 zum Befestigen eines Sanitärartikels, beispielsweise einer Klosettschüssel oder eines Urinals, gezeigt.A mounting system 1 for attaching a sanitary article, for example a toilet bowl or a urinal, is shown in the figures.

Das Montagesystem 1 wird anhand der Figuren 1 und 2 genauer erläutert. Das Montagesystem 1 umfasst ein nur ansatzweise gezeigtes Montagegestell 2, eine Stange 3 mit einer Aussenzahnung 4 und ein mit dem Montagegestell 2 in Verbindung bringbare bzw. stehende Halteeinheit 5.The mounting system 1 is based on the Figures 1 and 2 explained in more detail. The mounting system 1 comprises a mounting frame 2, which is only shown in part, a rod 3 with external teeth 4, and a holding unit 5 which can be connected or is connected to the mounting frame 2.

Das Montagegestell 2 wird fest in einem Raum gebäudeseitig verankert.The mounting frame 2 is firmly anchored in a room on the building side.

Die Stange 3 steht dann vom Montagegestell 2 ab und ein Sanitärartikel kann mit der Stange 3 in Verbindung gebracht werden und so am Montagegestell 2 befestigt werden. Die Stange 3 steht über die Halteeinheit 5 mit dem Montagegestell 2 in Verbindung und umfasst ein Gehäuse 6 und mindestens eine, hier zwei, bewegbar im Gehäuse 6 gelagerte Klemmbacken 7.The rod 3 then protrudes from the mounting frame 2 and a sanitary article can be connected to the rod 3 and thus attached to the mounting frame 2. The rod 3 is connected to the mounting frame 2 via the holding unit 5 and comprises a housing 6 and at least one, here two, movable jaws 7 in the housing 6.

Die Klemmbacken 7 weisen einen Zahnungsabschnitt 8 auf, der passend zur Aussenzahnung 4 der Stange 3 ausgebildet ist. Über die Klemmbacken 7 wird die Stange in der Halteeinheit 5 gehalten. Die Klemmbacken 7 sind von einer Eingriffsposition, in welche die Aussenzahnung 4 in den Zahnungsabschnitt 8 eingreift, in eine Freigabeposition, in welche die Aussenzahnung 4 ausserhalb des Zahnungsabschnittes 8 liegt, bewegbar. Somit kann die Stange 3 in Richtung ihrer Mittelachse M relativ zur Klemmbacke 7 versschoben werden. Dies erlaubt eine Grobeinstellung. Die Eingriffsposition bzw. die Freigabeposition wird dann bei der Erläuterung des Montageablaufes im Zusammenhang mit den Figuren 5 bis 10 detaillierter gezeigt.The clamping jaws 7 have a toothed section 8 which is designed to match the external toothing 4 of the rod 3. The rod is held in the holding unit 5 via the clamping jaws 7. The clamping jaws 7 can be moved from an engagement position, in which the external toothing 4 engages in the toothing section 8, into a release position, in which the external toothing 4 lies outside the toothing section 8. The rod 3 can thus be displaced relative to the clamping jaw 7 in the direction of its central axis M. This allows a rough setting. The engagement position or the release position is then in the explanation of the assembly process in connection with the Figures 5 to 10 shown in more detail.

Weiter umfasst das Montagesystem 1 ein Montagewerkzeug 9. Mit dem Montagewerkzeug 9 kann die Klemmbacke 7 von der Eingriffsposition in die Freigabeposition bewegt werden.The assembly system 1 further comprises an assembly tool 9. The assembly tool 9 can be used to move the clamping jaw 7 from the engagement position into the release position.

In der Figur 1 ist das Montagewerkzeug 9 beabstandet zum Montagegestell 2 und zur Halteeinheit 5 dargestellt. Die beiden Klemmbacken 7 befinden sich hier in der Eingriffsposition.In the Figure 1 the assembly tool 9 is shown spaced apart from the assembly frame 2 and the holding unit 5. The two jaws 7 are here in the engaged position.

In der Figur 2 ist das Montagewerkzeug 9 im Eingriff mit dem Montagegestell 2 und der Halteeinheit 5 gezeigt. Dabei hält das Montagewerkzeug 9 die beiden Klemmbacken 7 in der Freigabeposition, wobei die Klemmbacken 7 vorgängig von der Eingriffsposition in die Freigabeposition gebracht werden.In the Figure 2 the assembly tool 9 is shown in engagement with the assembly frame 2 and the holding unit 5. The assembly tool 9 holds the two clamping jaws 7 in the release position, the clamping jaws 7 being brought beforehand from the engagement position into the release position.

Das Montagewerkzeug 9 umfasst weiterhin einen Hülsenabschnitt 10 und einen Hülsenraum 11. In den Hülsenraum 11 erstreckt sich die Stange 3 während der Montage hinein, wobei der Hülsenabschnitt 10 als Bauschutz für die Stange 3 wirkt. Der Hülsenabschnitt 10 überdeckt die Stange 3, so dass die Stange 3 bezüglich äusseren Einflüssen, die beim Bau eines Badezimmers oder dergleichen entstehen, geschützt ist.The assembly tool 9 further comprises a sleeve portion 10 and a sleeve space 11. The rod 3 extends into the sleeve space 11 during assembly, the sleeve portion 10 acting as structural protection for the rod 3. The sleeve section 10 covers the rod 3, so that the rod 3 is protected from external influences that arise during the construction of a bathroom or the like.

Von der Explosionsdarstellung in der Figur 3 werden weitere Details der Halteeinheit 5 erläutert.From the exploded view in the Figure 3 further details of the holding unit 5 are explained.

Die Halteeinheit 5 umfasst ein Gehäuse 6, in welchem die beiden Klemmbacken 7 verschwenkbar gelagert sind. Die Klemmbacken 7 sind dabei um eine Schenkachse S verschwenkbar, welche rechtwinklig und beabstandet zur Mittelachse M der Stange 3 stehen. Hierzu weisen die Klemmbacken 7 und das Gehäuse 6 entsprechende Lagerelemente 25 auf.The holding unit 5 comprises a housing 6, in which the two clamping jaws 7 are pivotally mounted. The clamping jaws 7 can be pivoted about a leg axis S, which are at right angles and at a distance from the central axis M of the rod 3. For this purpose, the clamping jaws 7 and the housing 6 have corresponding bearing elements 25.

Des weiteren ist im Gehäuse 6 ein Anschlagselement 20 bewegbar angeordnet. Das Anschlagselement 20 wirkt mit jeweils einer Nocke 26 auf die beiden Klemmbacken 7, so dass diese in ihre Eingriffsposition gegen eine Bewegung in die Freigabeposition blockiert sind. Weiter weist das Anschlagselement 20 einen Betätigungsabschnitt 27 auf, welcher durch das Montagewerkzeug 9 betätigbar ist. Durch diese Betätigung wird das Anschlagselement 20 von einer Ausgangslage, in welcher die Klemmbacken 7 in der Eingriffsposition durch das Anschlagselement 20 gehalten werden, in eine Endlage bewegbar. In der Endlage sind dann die Klemmbacken 7 frei vom Anschlagselement 20 und die besagte Bewegung von der Eingriffsposition in die Freigabeposition kann ausgeführt werden.Furthermore, a stop element 20 is movably arranged in the housing 6. The stop element 20 acts with a cam 26 on each of the two clamping jaws 7, so that they are blocked in their engagement position against movement into the release position. Furthermore, the stop element 20 has an actuating section 27, which can be actuated by the assembly tool 9. As a result of this actuation, the stop element 20 can be moved from an initial position, in which the clamping jaws 7 are held in the engagement position by the stop element 20, into an end position. In the end position, the clamping jaws 7 are then free of the stop element 20 and the said movement from the engagement position into the release position can be carried out.

Das Anschlagselement 20 ist im Gehäuse 6 bewegbar gelagert und wird mittels eines Federelementes 21, je in der Gestalt einer Druckfeder, in seiner Ausgangslage gehalten. Bei Betätigung in die Endlage wird der Druck wieder entsprechend komprimiert.The stop element 20 is movably mounted in the housing 6 and is held in its initial position by means of a spring element 21, each in the form of a compression spring. When actuated to the end position, the pressure is compressed accordingly.

Ein weiteres Federelement 22 ist pro Klemmbacke 7 angeordnet. Je ein Federelement 22 drückt hier auf die Klemmbacken 7, derart dass diese in ihrer Eingriffsposition gehalten werden. Das weitere Federelement 22 hat hier die Form einer Blattfeder und kann entweder am Gehäuse 6 oder aber am Anschlagselement 20 gehalten werden. Das heisst, dass auf die Klemmbacke 7 wirkende Federelement 22 kann auf dem Gehäuse 6 bewegbaren Anschlagselementen angeordnet sein.Another spring element 22 is arranged per jaw 7. One spring element 22 each presses on the clamping jaws 7 such that they are held in their engaged position. The further spring element 22 here has the shape of a leaf spring and can be held either on the housing 6 or on the stop element 20. This means that spring element 22 acting on the clamping jaw 7 can be arranged on the housing 6 movable stop elements.

Je nach Stärke des Federelementes 22 kann auf das Anschlagselement verzichtet werden, wobei in dieser Variante das Federelement 22 dann im Gehäuse gelagert ist.Depending on the strength of the spring element 22, the stop element can be dispensed with, in which case the spring element 22 is then mounted in the housing.

Von der Figur 3 kann weiterhin erkannt werden, dass im hinteren Ende des Gehäuses 6 ein weiterer Bauschutz 23 angeordnet ist. Dieser weitere Bauschutz 23 ist optional und dient dem Schutz der Stange 3, sofern diese nach hinten aus dem Gehäuse 6 hinaus ragt.Of the Figure 3 can also be seen that a further building protection 23 is arranged in the rear end of the housing 6. This further building protection 23 is optional and serves to protect the rod 3 if it protrudes out of the housing 6 to the rear.

Wie bereits erläutert umfasst das Montagewerkzeug 9 einen Hülsenabschnitt 10 mit einem Hülsenraum 11. In diesem Hülsenraum 11 ragt die Stange 3 ein. Der Hülsenraum 11 weist dabei eine Länge L auf, welche den von der Halteeinheit 5 beziehungsweise vom Montagegestell 2 den abstehenden Teil der Stange 3 im Wesentlichen vollständig aufnimmt. Unter einer vollständigen Aufnahme wird verstanden, dass die Stange 3 durch das Montagewerkzeug 9 von äusseren Einflüssen geschützt ist.As already explained, the assembly tool 9 comprises a sleeve section 10 with a sleeve space 11. The rod 3 projects into this sleeve space 11. The sleeve space 11 has a length L which essentially completely absorbs the part of the rod 3 which protrudes from the holding unit 5 or from the mounting frame 2. A complete recording is understood to mean that the rod 3 is protected from external influences by the assembly tool 9.

In der gezeigten Ausführungsform weist der Hülsenabschnitt 10 eine vordere Stirnfläche 12 auf, von welcher mindestens ein Betätigungsabsatz 13 absteht. Mit dem Betätigungsabsatz 13 ist die mindestens eine Klemmbacke 7 von der Eingriffsposition in die Freigabeposition bewegbar. Zugleich ist das optionale Anschlagselement 20 mit dem Betätigungsabsatz 13 entsprechend betätigbar.In the embodiment shown, the sleeve section 10 has a front end face 12, from which at least one actuating shoulder 13 protrudes. With the actuating shoulder 13, the at least one clamping jaw 7 can be moved from the engagement position into the release position. At the same time, the optional stop element 20 with the actuating shoulder 13 can be actuated accordingly.

In der gezeigten Ausführungsform sind zwei Betätigungsabschnitte 13 angeordnet. Die beiden Betätigungsabschnitte 13 stehen sich bezüglich einer Achse A, welche mittig durch den Hülsenraum 11 sich erstreckt, diametral gegenüber zueinander. In der gezeigten Ausführungsform sind die Betätigungsabsätze 13 jeweils identisch zueinander ausgebildet.In the embodiment shown, two actuation sections 13 are arranged. The two actuating sections 13 are diametrically opposed to one another with respect to an axis A, which extends centrally through the sleeve space 11. In the embodiment shown, the actuating shoulders 13 are each identical to one another.

Gegenüber der vorderen Stirnfläche 12 weist das Montagewerkzeug 9 ein offenes Ende des Hülsenraums 11 auf. Dieses offene Ende kann mit einem Deckel 17 verschlossen werden. Der Deckel 17 ist dabei abnehmbar ausgebildet, sodass beim Einsatz des Montagewerkzeuges auf die Stange 3 zugegriffen werden kann.Compared to the front end face 12, the assembly tool 9 has an open end of the sleeve space 11. This open end can be closed with a lid 17. The cover 17 is designed to be removable so that the rod 3 can be accessed when the assembly tool is used.

Die mindestens eine Klemmbacke 7 und auch der mindestens eine Betätigungsabsatz 13 weisen in der gezeigten Ausführungsform eine zur Mittelachse M winklig geneigte ausgebildete Betätigungsfläche 14 auf. Über diese Betätigungsfläche 14 wirkt der mindestens eine Betätigungsabsatz 13 auf die Klemmbacke 7 und zwar derart, dass die Klemmbacke 7 von der Eingriffsposition in die Freigabeposition bewegbar ist.In the embodiment shown, the at least one clamping jaw 7 and also the at least one actuating shoulder 13 have an actuating surface 14 that is inclined at an angle to the central axis M. Via this actuating surface 14, the at least one actuating shoulder 13 acts on the clamping jaw 7 in such a way that the clamping jaw 7 can be moved from the engagement position into the release position.

Weiter weist der Hülsenabschnitt 13 frontseitig, also im Bereich der Stirnfläche 12 eine Raststruktur 15 auf. Mit der Raststruktur 15 kann das Montagewerkzeug 9 mit der Halteeinheit 5 und/oder dem Montagegestell 2 einen mechanischen Eingriff eingehen.Furthermore, the sleeve section 13 has a latching structure 15 on the front, that is to say in the region of the end face 12. With the latching structure 15, the assembly tool 9 with the holding unit 5 and / or the assembly frame 2 can enter into a mechanical engagement.

Mit Blick auf die Figur 1 kann gut erkannt werden, dass der Innendurchmesser DI des Hülsenraumes 11 in einem der Klemmbacken 7 zugewandten Führungsabschnitt 18 im Wesentlichen den Aussendurchmesser DA der Stange 3 entspricht. Hierdurch kann eine gute Führung der Stange 3 im Hülsenraum 11 bereitgestellt werden. Der Innendurchmesser DI des Hülsenraums in einer sich des Führungsabschnitt 18 gegenüber der Klemmbacken 7 anschliessend den Abdeckabschnitt 19 ist dabei grösser als im Bereich des Führungsabschnittes 18. Durch diese grössere Ausbildung wird erreicht, dass die Stange 3 ein gewisses Spiel innerhalb des Hülsenraums 11 aufweist.With view on Figure 1 it can be clearly seen that the inside diameter DI of the sleeve space 11 in a guide section 18 facing the clamping jaws 7 essentially corresponds to the outside diameter DA of the rod 3. In this way, good guidance of the rod 3 in the sleeve space 11 can be provided. The inside diameter DI of the sleeve space in a cover section 19 which adjoins the guide section 18 with respect to the clamping jaws 7 is larger than in the area of the guide section 18. This larger configuration means that the rod 3 has a certain amount of play within the sleeve space 11.

Von der Figur 3 kann gut erkannt werden, dass die Stange 3 die Gestalt einer Gewindestange mit einem Aussengewinde aufweist. Der Zahnungsabschnitt 8 im Bereich der Klemmbacke 7 ist dabei ein zum Aussengewinde passender Abschnitt eines Innengewindes. In der Eingriffsposition greift dabei der Zahnungsabschnitt 8 derart in das Aussengewinde ein, dass die Stange 3 um ihre Mittelachse M gedreht werden kann, sodass die Gewindestange in die Klemmbacken 7 eingeschraubt werden kann. In der Freigabelage besteht kein Eingriff zwischen dem Zahnungsabschnitt 8 und dem Aussengewinde der Stange 3.Of the Figure 3 can be clearly seen that the rod 3 has the shape of a threaded rod with an external thread. The toothed section 8 in the region of the clamping jaw 7 is a section of an internal thread that matches the external thread. In the engaged position, the toothed section 8 engages in the external thread in such a way that the rod 3 can be rotated about its central axis M, so that the threaded rod can be screwed into the clamping jaws 7. In the release position, there is no engagement between the toothed section 8 and the external thread of the rod 3.

In der Figur 4a wird das Montagegestell 2 noch etwas verdeutlicht. Hier sind zwei Halteeinheiten 5 an einem Montagegestell 2 angeordnet. Die Halteeinheiten 5 sind hier rückseitig zum Montagegestell 2 angeordnet, so dass die Stange 3 frontseitig vom Montagegestell abragen kann Hierdurch wird bei einer im Belastungsfall auftretender Zugbelastung die Halteeinheit 5 gegen die Rückseite des Montagegestells 2 gezogen.In the Figure 4a the assembly frame 2 is clarified somewhat. Here two holding units 5 are arranged on a mounting frame 2. The holding units 5 are arranged on the rear side of the mounting frame 2, so that the rod 3 can protrude from the front of the mounting frame. As a result, the holding unit 5 is pulled against the rear of the mounting frame 2 in the event of a tensile load.

In der Figur 4b wird gezeigt, wie die Stangen 3, welche von der jeweiligen Halteeinheit 5 gehalten werden, sich von der Frontseite 28 wegerstrecken. In dieser Position befindet sich die mindestens eine Klemmbacke 7 in der Eingriffsposition und die Stange 3 kann um ihre Mittelachse M betätigt werden und über eine Schraubbewegung relativ zur Frontseite 28 rein gedreht werden.In the Figure 4b it is shown how the rods 3, which are held by the respective holding unit 5, extend away from the front side 28. In this position, the at least one clamping jaw 7 is in the engaged position and the rod 3 can be actuated about its central axis M and can be turned purely relative to the front side 28 by means of a screwing movement.

In der Figur 4c wird der Einsatz des Montagewerkzeuges 9 gezeigt. Hier kann gut erkannt werden, dass der Hülsenabschnitt 10 die Stange 3 vollständig aufnimmt. Das Montagewerkzeug 9 kann entlang des Pfeils P mit der Halteeinheit 5 bzw. mit dem Montagegestell 2 in Verbindung gebracht werden. Das Montagegestell 2 weist dabei einen Durchbruch 29 auf, durch welchen der Betätigungsabsatz 13 zu den Klemmbacken 7 geführt wird.In the Figure 4c the use of the assembly tool 9 is shown. It can be clearly seen here that the sleeve section 10 completely receives the rod 3. The assembly tool 9 can be connected along the arrow P to the holding unit 5 or to the assembly frame 2. The mounting frame 2 has an opening 29 through which the actuating shoulder 13 is guided to the clamping jaws 7.

In der Figur 4d wird gezeigt, wie das Montagewerkzeug 9 von der Halteeinheit 5 bzw. vom Montagegestell 2 nach der Grobeinstellung abgezogen wird.In the Figure 4d it is shown how the assembly tool 9 is removed from the holding unit 5 or from the assembly frame 2 after the rough adjustment.

In der Figur 5 wird das Montagesystem 1 in seiner Ausgangslage gezeigt. Die beiden Klemmbacken 7 befinden sich in der Eingriffsposition. Die Stange 3 ist noch nicht zwischen die beiden Klemmbacken 7 eingeschoben und das Montagewerkzeug 9 befindet sich vor einem Eingriff in die Klemmbacken 7. Des Weiteren kann gut erkannt werden, dass die beiden Nocken 26 des Anschlagselementes 20 hinten gegenüber der Schwenkachse S einen Anschlag für die beiden Klemmbacken 7 bereitstellen, so dass diese an eine Bewegung in die Freigabeposition gehindert sind.In the Figure 5 the assembly system 1 is shown in its starting position. The two Jaws 7 are in the engaged position. The rod 3 has not yet been inserted between the two clamping jaws 7 and the assembly tool 9 is located before engagement in the clamping jaws 7. Furthermore, it can be clearly seen that the two cams 26 of the stop element 20 at the rear with respect to the pivot axis S are a stop for the Provide both clamping jaws 7 so that they are prevented from moving into the release position.

In der Figur 6 wird der erste Schritt gezeigt, wobei hier das Montagewerkzeug 9 in Kontakt mit den beiden Klemmbacken 7 ist. Das Montagewerkzeug 9 hat zudem das Anschlagselement 20 nach hinten geschoben, wodurch der Anschlag über die Nocken 26 aufgehoben wurde und die Klemmbacken 7 von der Eingriffsposition nun in die Freigabeposition bewegt wurden. Der Betätigungsabsatz 13 ragt dabei zwischen die beiden Klemmbacken 7 ein und hält diese in der Freigabeposition. Der Deckel 17 kann nun entfernt werden.In the Figure 6 the first step is shown, here the assembly tool 9 is in contact with the two clamping jaws 7. The assembly tool 9 has also pushed the stop element 20 backwards, as a result of which the stop has been released via the cams 26 and the clamping jaws 7 have now been moved from the engagement position into the release position. The actuating shoulder 13 protrudes between the two jaws 7 and holds them in the release position. The lid 17 can now be removed.

In der Figur 7 wird das Einschieben der Stange 3 gezeigt. Die Stange 3 wird gegenüber der vorderen Stirnfläche 12 in den Hülsenraum 11 eingeschoben und wird dann im Bereich zwischen die beiden Klemmbacken 7, die in der Freigabeposition sind, eingeführt. Aufgrund der Lage der Klemmbacke 7 in der Freigabeposition kann die Stange 3 frei zwischen den Klemmbacken 7 bewegt werden.In the Figure 7 the insertion of the rod 3 is shown. The rod 3 is pushed into the sleeve space 11 opposite the front end face 12 and is then inserted in the area between the two clamping jaws 7, which are in the release position. Due to the position of the jaw 7 in the release position, the rod 3 can be moved freely between the jaws 7.

In der Figur 8 wird sodann gezeigt, wie die Stange 3 zwischen den Klemmbacken 7 liegt. Die Stange 3 durchdringt dabei noch eine Öffnung 30 im hinteren Bereich des Anschlagselementes 20.In the Figure 8 it is then shown how the rod 3 lies between the jaws 7. The rod 3 also penetrates an opening 30 in the rear area of the stop element 20.

In der Figur 9 wird sodann das Entfernen des Montagewerkzeuges 9 gezeigt. Dabei werden die Klemmbacken in die Eingriffsposition zurückbewegt, weil der Eingriff zwischen dem Montagewerkezug 9 insbesondere mit dem Betätigungsabsatz 13, und den Klemmbacken 7 aufgehoben wird. Die Nocken 26 des Anschlagselementes 20In the Figure 9 the removal of the assembly tool 9 is then shown. The clamping jaws are moved back into the engagement position because the engagement between the assembly tool 9, in particular with the actuating shoulder 13, and the clamping jaws 7 is canceled. The cams 26 of the stop element 20

In der Figur 10 wird sodann gezeigt, dass die Gewindestange 3 dann um ihre eigene Mittelachse bewegt werden kann, sodass eine Feineinstellung erfolgt.
