Description

The invention relates to a transport device for luggage and a method for transporting a piece of luggage.

So-called trolleys are known from the prior art. These are used to transport luggage, especially bags or suitcases. Such transport devices are particularly useful when a heavy piece of luggage is to be transported.

Also known is the so-called citizen suitcase. The Bürgerkoffer can provide administrative services at various locations outside of a public authority, eg. In libraries, universities, hospitals or community facilities. The civil suitcase can be equipped with a laptop, scanner, printer and card reader. In this way, citizens can obtain information on various issues, whereby these concerns can be dealt with directly on site by means of the computer and office technology provided by the Bürgerkoffer. However, such a civil suitcase may have a weight in the range of 15 kg and large dimensions. When handling the civil suitcase, it may be necessary to move the case from a transport position on the floor or on the trolley to a work surface, eg. As a desk or a side table to lift in a so-called table position, which may be difficult for the user due to the high weight and large dimensions. On the work surface of the civil suitcase can then be opened in this table position to allow operation of the computer technology in the civil suitcase.

It poses the technical problem of providing a transport device for luggage and a method for transporting a piece of luggage, in particular a citizen's case, which facilitate a transport of the item of luggage, in particular a transfer from a transport position to a table position of the item of luggage.

The solution of the technical problem results from the subject matters with the features of independent claims 1 and 14. Further advantageous embodiments of the invention will become apparent from the dependent claims.

It is a basic idea of the invention to provide a transport device and a method for transporting a piece of luggage, wherein the transport device can be transported with the item of luggage both into a transport position in which the item of luggage can be transported with the transport device over a floor surface and over stairs, as well as in a table position in which the luggage piece is stably arranged at a desired height above the floor surface can be displaced.

Proposed is a transport device for luggage, especially for a so-called citizen suitcase. In particular, the transport device can thus serve to transport a suitcase.

The transport device comprises a base frame. The base frame can in particular an already available transport aids, eg. Example, a suitcase scooter or transport roller, or its base frame. Such transport aids are z. B. offered by the Günter Andersen Shopper Manufaktur.

The base frame can be equipped here with wheels or wheels, in particular two rollers or wheels. Further, the base frame may include a baggage receiving device or a baggage receiving section, but the baggage receiving device / the baggage receiving section of the base frame in the proposed transport device is not or not necessarily provided for receiving luggage. The baggage receiving device or the baggage receiving section of the base frame may also be referred to as the original baggage receiving device or the baggage receiving section, which does not serve or can serve for receiving baggage.

Next, the base frame include a retractable and extendable handle part. Further, the base frame may comprise a supporting element, wherein by the support element, the base frame and in particular the baggage receiving device / the luggage receiving portion may be supported in a supporting position of the supporting element on the ground.

The base frame is used in the proposed transport device, in particular for holding a luggage receiving device, which is different from the above-mentioned luggage receiving device of the base frame. The baggage receiving device can thus be mounted in particular on already available or existing base frames and thus retrofitted.

Furthermore, the transport device comprises the baggage receiving device, wherein the baggage receiving device comprises at least one bearing assembly, a receiving assembly, a supporting leg assembly and at least one connecting device.

In this case, an assembly may in particular comprise an entirety of elements, wherein the elements of the corresponding assembly are arranged and / or configured such that the desired functionality of the corresponding assembly is provided. An element of the assembly may be formed as a single part. However, this is not mandatory.

The baggage receiving device thus comprises a plurality of assemblies, wherein the baggage receiving device for receiving or holding at least one piece of luggage is used. Furthermore, the piece of luggage picked up by the baggage-receiving device can, in the picked-up state, be put into different positions by means of the baggage-receiving device, in particular into a transport position and into a table position. This will be explained in more detail below.

The bearing assembly serves to support the receiving assembly and the foothold assembly to the base frame. The receiving assembly and the pillar assembly are each rotatably mounted on the at least one bearing assembly. In addition, the receiving module and the fulcrum module each also displaceable, z. B. displaceable with a translational movement, be stored on the bearing assembly. Further, the bearing assembly may be displaceable, e.g. displaceable with a translational movement, be attached to the base frame. Thus, the bearing assembly can be moved on the base frame.

Here, the bearing assembly set or form a first axis of rotation for the receiving assembly. Further, the bearing assembly may form or define a second axis of rotation for the pillar assembly. The first and second rotational axes of the bearing assembly are oriented parallel to each other.

Preferably, the first and second axes of rotation are spaced apart a predetermined distance. In other words, the axes of rotation may have a same orientation but different spatial positions relative to the bearing assembly.

The pillar assembly serves to support the receiving assembly in the table position of the transport device. In particular, the pillar assembly may have a bottom contact portion which can contact a bottom surface in the table position.

The receiving module serves to receive the at least one piece of luggage. In particular, the receiving module can have or form at least one support element or support section for supporting the at least one item of luggage. In other words, the receiving assembly is used for storage or retention of the luggage on / on the transport device. Further, the receiving assembly for storage of the luggage can be used with a dimensional positioning of the bag. In this case, the item of luggage may be received in a desired position on / on the transport device. In this case, the item of luggage can be stored both in the transport position and in the table position on / on the receiving module or be accommodated by this receiving module.

The fact that the receiving module and the pillar assembly are at least rotatably mounted on the bearing assembly, may in particular mean that at least one element of these assemblies is rotatably mounted on the bearing assembly.

Furthermore, the receiving module and the leg assembly are mechanically connected via the at least one connecting device. In particular, the mechanical connection via the connecting device can permit a relative movement, in particular a pivoting movement, between the receiving module and the supporting leg assembly.

The connecting device may in particular be rotatably mounted on the receiving assembly and rotatably mounted on the pillar assembly. Here, the receiving module can define or form a rotation axis for the rotational movement of the connecting device to the receiving assembly or for the rotational movement of the receiving assembly to the connecting device. The pillar assembly may define or form an axis of rotation for the rotational movement of the connecting device about the pillar assembly or for the rotational movement of the pillar assembly about the connecting device. These axes of rotation for the rotational movements of the connecting device are oriented parallel to each other. Further, these axes of rotation may have different spatial positions, in particular with a variable, but spaced apart from 0 distance from each other.

Next, the receiving assembly and the pillar assembly between a transport position and a table position are pivotable. In particular, the receiving assembly can perform a rotational movement about the fixed or formed by the bearing assembly first rotation axis to be pivoted from the transport position of the receiving assembly in the table position or vice versa. Accordingly, the pillar assembly can perform a rotational movement about the set or formed by the bearing assembly second axis of rotation to one of Transport position of the pillar assembly in a table position of the pillar assembly or vice versa to be pivoted.

Upon rotation of the receiving and supporting leg assembly between the positions, the connecting device also performs a rotational movement about the rotational axis defined or formed by the supporting leg assembly and / or about the axis of rotation defined or formed by the receiving assembly.

By pivoting the receiving assembly and the foothold assembly in the table position and the transport device can be placed in a table position. By pivoting the receiving assembly and the foothold assembly in the transport position and the transport device can be moved to a transport position.

The transport position of the transport device, in which the receiving module, the pillar assembly and the at least one connecting device are each also in a module-specific transport position, allows to transport a piece of luggage received by the receiving assembly along a floor surface, for example by a user operates a handle portion of the base frame and pulls or pushes the transport device over the bottom surface. In particular, in the transport position, the transport device can roll over the bottom surface by means of the rollers or wheels.

In the table position of the transport device, in which the receiving module, the leg assembly and the at least one connecting device are also in a table-specific table position, the at least one piece of luggage can be stored parallel or substantially parallel to the bottom surface. In the table position, the transport device, in particular the receiving assembly can provide a bearing surface or storage plane for the at least one piece of luggage which can be oriented parallel to a flat, in particular non-curved, bottom surface and along a normal vector of this plane with a predetermined distance, for example one Distance in the range of 400-800, in particular 600 mm, may be spaced. In the table position, the pillar assembly, in particular a ground contact portion of the pillar assembly contact the bottom surface.

In the table position, the transport device thus provides the function of a table, in particular a side table, ready on the table surface, the bag can be stored, in particular to open the bag.

The receiving and supporting leg assemblies can in particular be pivoted from the transport position into the table position by a manual actuation of the transport device, in particular a manual actuation of the base frame, in particular by actuation of a grip section of the base frame.

In this case, no additional manual actuation of the item of luggage, in particular no holding, may be required. Further, the transport device can also be pivoted by manual operation of the table position in the transport position, which also no further operation of the luggage, in particular no detention, may be required. However, it may be necessary to operate in addition to the base frame further elements or assemblies of the transport device, in particular the connecting device, to allow pivoting from the table position to the transport position.

Overall, there is advantageously a transport device that allows easy transport of a piece of luggage in a transport position along a bottom surface in a transport position (comparable to the operation of a trolley), wherein in any case a simplified transfer of the luggage from the transport position in a table position (and vice versa ) is made possible, which in particular the lifting of the luggage can be omitted for storage on a table surface. In the table position of the transport device, the item of luggage can be stored or held in a table position on / on the transport device, in particular if the transport device is in a table state position.

Overall, thus a simplified handling of the luggage, in particular the citizen's suitcase, allows. In the table position of the luggage can be done in a civil suitcase easy opening and thus easy operation of facilities of the citizen's suitcase.

In a further embodiment, the transport device, in particular assemblies of the transport device, further in particular the connecting device, is set in the movement from the transport position to the table position in a locked state. In particular, the transport device can be placed in this movement when reaching the table position in the locked state. Thus, the transport device is in the table position in a locked state.

In the locked state is a movement of the transport device, in particular of the Assemblies of the transport device, not released from the table position in the transport position.

In other words, the receiving module and / or the leg assembly and / or the connecting device may be formed and / or arranged and / or mechanically connected, that in the movement from the transport position to the table position, the displacement takes place in the locked state , In particular, a mechanical connection between the receiving assembly and the connecting device and / or a mechanical connection between the pillar assembly and the connecting device can be arranged and / or formed accordingly.

That the movement is not released, may mean that no additional unlocking, for example, without additional manual operation, no displacement of the transport device from the table position to the transport position is possible. As a result, in particular the risk of undesired movement of the table position is reduced in the transport position of the transport device. This in turn results in improved reliability and higher accident safety of the transport device.

It is of course possible that the transport device, in particular the assemblies of the transport device, further in particular the connecting device is placed in the table position or during a movement of the table to the transport position in an unlocked state. This can be done for example by a manual operation of the transport device, in particular a manual actuation of the connecting device. In the unlocked state of the transport device, the movement is released from the table position to the transport position.

In a further embodiment, at least one connecting device is rotatably mounted on the pillar assembly and rotatably mounted on the receiving assembly. In this case, during the movement of the transport device from the transport to the table position, the connecting device can execute a rotational movement about both of the rotational axes defined or formed by the supporting-leg assembly and the receiving-module.

This results in an advantageous manner a simple motion control of the connecting device and a low manufacturing and assembly costs of the transport device.

In a preferred embodiment, the at least one connecting device is coupled to the receiving module via at least one spring element. Alternatively, the at least one connecting device is coupled to the pillar assembly via at least one spring element. The spring element may be formed for example as a tension or compression spring.

Here, the spring element may be in the transport position in an untensioned state or in a state of low voltage. During the movement of the connecting device and the pillar assembly or the receiving module from the transport to the table position, the spring force generated by the spring element, in particular the tensile force generated, change. In particular, the spring force may increase from the untensioned state or from the state of low spring tension during the movement, for example in a first movement section. Furthermore, it is possible for the spring force to decrease again during the movement after the increase, for example in a further movement section. Thus, the spring element in the table position can also be in an untensioned state or in the state with low spring tension. Alternatively, however, it is possible that the spring element generates a spring force in the table position, which is higher than the spring force in the transport position.

Further, in the movement of the modules and the connecting device from the transport to the table position or vice versa, a dead center of the spring element occur. In the movement from the transport position to this dead center, the spring force may have a portion which counteracts the rotational movement of the connecting device about the axis of rotation, which is set or formed by the pillar assembly and / or the receiving assembly.

Further, the spring force in the movement from the transport to the table position after exceeding or passing through the dead center may have a proportion that supports the rotational movement about this axis of rotation (s).

At dead center, the spring force can not counteract any rotational movement counteracting this rotational movement or supporting it. In particular, at dead center, the spring force can be oriented completely along or parallel to a connecting line between an attachment point of the spring element on the connecting element and a rotation axis formed by the receiving module or the supporting leg assembly.

During the movement from the table position into the transport position, the spring element can correspondingly have a proportion until it reaches the dead center, which corresponds to the rotational movement of the Joining device around the axis of rotation, which is set or formed by the pillar assembly and / or the receiving assembly, counteracts. After passing through or exceeding the dead center, the spring force may have a share, which supports the rotational movement to reach the transport position.

This results in an advantageously easy to manufacture mechanical arrangement for providing the locked state. In particular, the locked state is achieved because the spring force in the table position of the transport device has a proportion which counteracts the rotational movement of the assemblies and the connecting device, which is necessary for moving the transport device from the table to the transport position. Next results in an advantageous manner a reliable provision of the locking state.

In a further embodiment, the receiving assembly comprises at least one L-shaped portion or a displaceable in an L-shaped position portion. In the L-shaped position, the section forms an L-shaped section. This portion may form a support member or portion of the receptacle assembly for supporting a piece of luggage or at least a part thereof.

In this case, the section can be formed by an L-shaped element or by an element which can be displaced into an L-shaped position.

In particular, an L-shaped portion may designate a portion having an L-shaped cross section or a substantially L-shaped cross section. Also, an L-shaped portion may have an L-shaped or console-shaped carrying geometry. In particular, such an L-shaped section may have at least one first leg and at least one further leg, wherein the legs in an L-shaped position enclose an angle from an angular range of 80 ° to 100 °, preferably 90 °.

Further, the L-shaped portion or the L-shaped position displaceable portion defines or forms the rotation axis for the rotation of the connecting element.

As explained in more detail below, it may be possible to offset a displaceable in an L-shaped position section in other positions. In particular, the portion may denote the L-shaped position a receiving position, wherein the baggage item, in particular in a transport position, can be stored in the receiving position in / on the transport device.

The L-shaped section or the section located in an L-shaped position can in particular form or define a support plane or surface for depositing the at least one piece of luggage, in particular in the transport position.

In the transport position of the item of luggage and in the transport position of the transport device, in particular a first outer side, in particular a lower side, of the item of luggage can rest on the first leg of the L-shaped portion, wherein a further outer side, in particular a rear side, of the item of luggage on the further leg of L-shaped section abuts.

In the table position of the item of luggage and in the table position of the transport device, in particular the first outer side abut the first leg of the L-shaped portion, wherein the further outer side rests on the further leg of the L-shaped portion.

The L-shaped section may in particular consist of aluminum. The axis of rotation for the rotation of the connecting element can be defined or formed in particular by one of the legs, in particular in the region of a free end of such a leg. This results in an advantageous manner a secure reception of the luggage by the transport device, in particular by the receiving assembly.

In a further embodiment, a first leg of the portion which can be displaced into an L-shaped position is mounted rotatably on a further leg of the portion which can be displaced into an L-shaped position. In this case, the further leg can define or form a rotation axis for the first leg. Further, the rotation axis for the rotational movement of the connecting element in this case can also be defined or formed by the further leg. The axis of rotation for the rotation of the connecting element about the receiving assembly and the axis of rotation for the rotational movement of the first leg may in this case be oriented parallel to one another. Further, however, spatial positions of these rotation axes may be different from each other, in particular, the rotation axes may be spaced apart from each other by a predetermined distance other than zero.

This results in an advantageous manner that different angles between the legs can be adjusted, for example, to safely transport various pieces of luggage or to take a folded position in which a dimension of the transport device is reduced.

In a further embodiment, the first leg is pivotable between a receiving position and a folded position. In the receiving position can, as previously explained, an angle between the first and the other leg, for example, in an angular range of 80 ° to 100 °. In the folded state, the angle between the first leg and the other leg may be smaller than the angle in the receiving position. In particular, the angle between the legs in the folded position may be in an angle range of 0 ° to 20 °. This results in an advantageous manner, the previously already explained reduction of the dimension of the transport device in the folded position of the first leg, whereby the transport device can be transported easily, for example in a trunk of a vehicle.

In a further embodiment, the first leg is additionally pivotable into a securing position. In the securing position, the angle between the first and the other leg in an angular range of z. B. 180 ° to 300 °. In particular, the angle may be in an angular range of 240 ° to 300 °.

In particular, therefore, the first leg can be pivoted with a first direction of rotation from the folded position into the receiving position and then further into the securing position. Contrary to this direction of rotation, the first leg can be pivoted from the securing position into the receiving position and then into the folded-in position.

In the securing position, the first leg, in particular a free end of the first leg can be mechanically connected to the base frame, in particular with a luggage receiving portion of the base frame. This advantageously increases a stability of the transport device in the table position.

In a further embodiment, the first leg and the further leg are connected via a further connecting device. Furthermore, the first leg has at least one connecting link and the further connecting device has a sliding block element or forms it (s). Alternatively, the first leg has a sliding block element and the further connecting device has at least one connecting link or forms it (s). The further connection device can be rotatably mounted on the further leg. Furthermore, the further connecting device can be displaceably mounted on the first leg. The sliding bearing can be provided in particular by the trained by the backdrop and the sliding block element slotted guide.

Next sets at least one stop positions of the sliding block element, the receiving position. It is possible, but not mandatory, that a further stop position defines the retracted position and yet another stop position the securing position. A stop position may in this case designate a position of the sliding block element in the gate, in which the sliding block element abuts against a wall section of the gate during a movement along a center line of the gate.

During the rotational movement of the first leg about the axis defined or formed by the further leg rotation axis, the sliding block element can be performed in the backdrop. In the retracted position, therefore, the sliding block element can strike against a wall section of the gate, for example on a wall section at one end of the gate.

In the receiving position, the sliding block element can strike against a further wall section of the guide, for example on a wall section at a further end of the guide.

If a movement of the first leg into a securing position is possible, then the sliding block element can strike, for example, on a wall section of the gate between the ends of the gate. In the securing position, the sliding block element can strike against the wall section at the further end of the guide. Thus, the backdrop next to the wall sections at the ends of the link have more stop surfaces or train. Thus, for example, the central center line of the backdrop may have an S-shaped or jump-shaped section. This section can then form the wall portion of the gate between the ends of the backdrop on which the Kulissensteinelement can strike. Thus, one or more stop positions of the sliding block element can be defined by this section.

In a further embodiment, the receiving module has at least one support element or section for supporting a piece of luggage or forms this / these. This has been explained previously. Furthermore, the at least one support element or the at least one support section has a recess for receiving a piece of luggage or forms this recess. In particular, the recess may be formed by the above-explained first leg of the L-shaped portion or the displaceable in an L-shaped position portion. One dimension of the recess may in this case be adapted to a dimension of the piece of luggage piece to be accommodated. The male Baggage section may in particular be a foot section or foot element of the item of luggage. In particular, by arranging the piece of luggage in the at least one recess, a positive and / or non-positive connection can be established in at least one spatial direction between the receiving assembly and the item of luggage, in particular in a transport position of the item of luggage. This results in an advantageous manner a reliable storage or attachment and positioning of the at least one piece of luggage on the receiving assembly.

In a further embodiment, the bearing assembly is movably mounted on the base frame. In particular, the bearing assembly may be slidably mounted on the base frame. For example, the bearing assembly can be connected to the base frame with a mechanically releasable connection. In a released state of the mechanical connection, the bearing assembly can be moved relative to the base frame. In a non-dissolved mechanical connection, the bearing assembly is rigidly connected to the base frame. In particular, the bearing assembly can be clamped to the base frame.

This results in an advantageous manner that a dimension of the proposed transport device can be changed, in particular reduced. In turn, this may cause a transport of the transport device, e.g. in the trunk of a motor vehicle, be simplified.

In a further embodiment, the pillar assembly comprises at least one table leg element, wherein the at least one table leg element has a curved or bent portion. The curved or bent portion may in particular be an end portion of the table leg element. This portion or part thereof may form the above-described ground contact portion of the pillar assembly.

The curvature of the curved portion or the bending angle of the bent portion can in this case be chosen in particular such that when the section is resting on the bottom surface, the storage plane defined by the receiving assembly for the item of luggage in the table position is oriented as parallel as possible to the bottom surface. This results in an advantageous manner, a special stable storage of the luggage on / on the transport device in the table position at the same time simple mechanical design of the transport device, in particular the pillar assembly. Further, the curvature or the bending angle can be selected such that a desired distance between resting on the bottom surface portions of the transport device is present. This results in particular in a high tilting security in the table position.

In a further embodiment, the connecting device has a stop section or forms it. Further, the rotational movement of the connecting device is limited in the rotation of the transport position in the table position by the stopper portion, in particular in the rotational movement about the fixed axis of the pillar assembly or formed axis of rotation. In particular, in the table position, the abutment portion of the connecting device on the pillar assembly, in particular rest on an element of the pillar assembly and prevent further rotation with the rotational direction of the transport in the table position. The stopper portion may be formed in particular by a projecting from an outer surface of the connecting device or raised over this outer surface portion. This results in an increased reliability of the transport device, since the table position is determined by the stopper section.

Further proposed is a method for transporting a piece of luggage by means of a transport device according to one of the embodiments explained in this disclosure. Here, the receiving module and the pillar assembly is pivoted from a transport position to a table position.

In the transport position, the item of luggage can rest on a support plane which is determined by the receiving assembly of the transport device. Here, the bag can be in the transport position.

Then z. B. a user tilting the transport device with a first direction of rotation on the bottom surface, for example by pressing the handle portion of the base frame. This can e.g. mean that the transport device is tilted about an axis of rotation, which is oriented along the contact portion of the above-explained support element of the base frame with the bottom surface.

During this tilting movement of the base frame, both the receiving assembly and the pillar assembly can be pivoted from the transport position to the table position. The tilting movement can be ended when the transport device is in the table position. A corresponding tilted position of the transport device can be referred to as a change tilt position.

Due to the weight of a piece of luggage received by the transport device, the previously explained spring force of a spring element before reaching the dead center can be overcome in this case. Thus, therefore, the gravity of a piece of luggage can be used advantageously to put the transport device in a locked state.

In the table position, the transport device can be placed in a locked state. Thereafter, the base frame can be tilted over the bottom surface contrary to the previously described first rotational direction, but due to the locked state, a rotational movement of the receiving assembly and the foothold assembly, in particular a rotational movement to return to the transport position, is not released. At the end of the tilting movement, the above-explained contact section of the pillar assembly can then come into contact with the bottom surface, the transport device then defining a support plane for the luggage item which is oriented substantially parallel to the bottom surface. In this way, the transport device can be set in the table position in a Tischzustandskippstellung. The bag can rest in this Tischzustandskippstellung the transport device on this support plane, wherein the support plane for the bag in the table position is different from the support plane for the bag in the transport position. Here, the luggage can be in the table position.

To move the transport device out of the table position into the transport position, the user can tilt the transport device out of the table state tilting position in turn with the first direction of rotation in order to release the contact of the pillar assembly with the bottom surface. The tilting movement can be carried out in particular until reaching the above-mentioned change in the tilting position of the transport device.

Then, in particular after reaching the change tilt position, the transport device can be tilted against the first direction of rotation over the bottom surface. Before or during this tilting movement counter to the first direction of rotation, the transport device can be set in an unlocked state. Thus, during this tilting movement of the base frame, both the receiving assembly and the pillar assembly can be pivoted from the table position to the transport position.

This results in an advantageous manner a simple and energy-saving, so ergonomic, operating method of the transport device and thus a simple transport of a piece of luggage, especially in a table position.

In a further embodiment, the transport device is set in an unlocked state before or during the movement of the receiving assembly and the pillar assembly from the table position to the transport position. The displacement of the transport device in the unlocked state can preferably be effected by a, in particular supplementary, manual unlocking operation by a user. As a result, an unwanted unlocking can be avoided in an advantageous manner. This and corresponding advantages have been explained above.

Continuing will also cause rotational movement of the pickup assembly 5 at explained rotation axis, that of the bearing assembly 4 and the rotational movement of the pillar assembly 6 also from the bearing assembly 4 is set, continued. Also the connecting devices 7 continue the corresponding rotation. The fact that the rotation is continued may mean that the direction of movement does not change during the rotation. In 9 is shown that the stopper sections 40 the connecting devices 7 on the pillar assembly 6 , in particular at the pipe clamps 22 , hitting, whereby a further continuation of the rotational movement is prevented. As explained in more detail below, there is the transport device 1 in the in 9 shown Position, in a locked state. Upon reaching the locked state, the transport device is located 1 thus in the change tilt position.

In this locked state is a rotational movement of the receiving assembly 5 , the pillar assembly 6 and the connecting devices 7 not released to the respective, already explained rotation axes for moving into the transport position. Thus, recording assembly can 5 and the pillar assembly 6 as well as the connecting devices 7 do not perform any of the rotational movement opposite to the rotational movement for placing in the table position.

In the change tilt position, the transport device can 1 , in particular the receiving module 5 , the pillar assembly 6 and the connecting devices 7 already in the table position, but still no table state of the transport device 1 is made.

In 10 is a side view of the transport device 1 in the table position of the receiving module 5 , the pillar assembly 6 and the connecting devices 7 shown. Unlike the in 9 shown change tilt position is the transport device 1 tilted in the table position in a Tischzustandskippstellung in which a piece of luggage in table position on / on the transport device 1 can be stored. In 9 is the transport device 1 shown in a table position in a tilted position in which a piece of luggage in transport position on / on the transport device 1 can be stored.

Here it is shown that the tension spring 39 compared to the in 11 shown transport position is stretched more, whereby this generates a tensile force.

When moving from the in 11 shown transport position in the in 12 illustrated intermediate position, the rising tensile force on a share of the rotational movement of the connecting device 7 around that of the recording assembly 5 counteracts fixed axis of rotation. However, this force is reduced or overcome by the weight of a piece of luggage. In the in 12 shown intermediate position, the tensile force, however, has no share, which counteracts the rotational movement. In particular, the tensile force of the tension spring 39 from the bolts 38 the connection device 7 to the bolt 32 the receiving module 5 oriented, and cuts from the bearing element 31 fixed axis of rotation for the connecting element 7 , In the 12 illustrated intermediate position of the connecting device 7 can also be used as a dead center in the rotational movement of the connecting device 7 be designated.

We the rotational movement of the connecting device 7 for displacing the connecting device 7 continued from the transport to the table position, exceeds the connecting device 7 this dead center. After exceeding, the tension spring generates 39 a tensile force having a proportion that controls the rotational movement of the connecting device 7 around the bearing element 31 the receiving module 5 supported.

In 13 is a detail view of the receiving assembly 5 , the pillar assembly 6 and the connection device 7 shown in the table position. Here it is shown that the stop elements 40 the connecting devices 7 to the pillar assembly 6 , in particular the pipe clamps 22 , and thus the continuation of the rotational movement for displacing the connecting device 7 from the transport position to the table position.

Also shown is the tension spring 39 , which now generates a tensile force with a proportion, the rotational movement for displacing the connecting device 7 supported from the transport position in the table position and thus a rotational movement for moving the connecting device 7 from the table position in the transport position (reverse rotation direction) counteracts. In particular, the connecting device 7 be put back into the transport position only by exerting an additional operating force. This additional actuating force must in particular be exercised and dimensioned such that the proportion of the tensile force is overcome, the rotational movement for displacing the connecting device 7 counteracts from the table position in the transport position

So the transport device 1 back into the transport position can, for example, starting from the in 10 shown Tischzustandskippstellung the transport device 1 in the table position, this again on the support element 10 be tilted, in particular until the change tilt position. After reaching the change tilt position, the tilting direction of the tilting movement can be reversed to the transport device 1 again in the direction of the 7 tilt shown output tilt position. Before, during or after reaching the change in tilt position can then additionally, in particular by manual operation, an actuating force on the connecting device 7 be applied to enable them from the locked state to the unlocked state. In particular, it is necessary to refer to the in 8th explained dead center in the rotational movement of the connecting devices 7 from the table to the transport position.
