Description

The invention relates to a universal holder, comprising a base body and at least two holding elements attached thereto.

In many areas of application and locations there is a desire or need to provide objects temporarily or for a longer period of time and to arrange them in a holder so that they are easily accessible and available as needed. For example, in the kitchen there may be a need to have wooden spoons, books with cooking recipes or mobile devices available and to store or hold them in a stable and reliable manner. Places to hold a bunch of keys and other small items may be needed on a wall. In a workshop it may be necessary to provide different tools at the same time.

The DE 10 2008 031 251 B3 describes a mounting device with a metallic base plate over which a plurality of mounting eyelets protrude.

From the DE 20 2005 018 271 U1 is a universal holder for bottles, vases, cups, candles, trophies, grave lanterns, cooling containers, devices, fireplaces for camping and the like, which consists of a body with multi-tiered mounting banquets with different mounting holes and three-point studs.

The US 180 106 p shows a holder for dental tools with a base body and two holding elements attached to it, two lateral holding elements being provided as holding elements, each of which has a plurality of recesses.

From the DE 20 2017 103 740 U1 a holder for holding cell phones or similar technical devices and accessory devices is known, the holder consisting of a base body which has a cavity that is open at the top and into which a cell phone can be inserted.

The US 329 563 p shows a storage stand for dumbbells.

From the CN 206 303 641 U a holder for cell phones with two holding elements is known, with a base plate being provided as a basic element for setting up the holder.

The GB 669 604 A shows a holder for plates, saucers and other items with two holding elements.

The disadvantage of known holders is that they only offer one specific application option or are optimized and tailored to one application.

The invention is therefore based on the object of providing a universal holder that enables different objects to be held.

This object is achieved according to the invention by a universal holder with the features of claim 1.

Advantageous embodiments of the invention are the subject of the subclaims.

The invention is based on the idea that the comfortable and accessible arrangement of objects is necessary or desired in many areas of daily or professional life. These objects can be designed very differently, so that a corresponding holder should be universally applicable in order to be able to hold the different objects in the same place.

As has now been recognized, these requirements can be met by arranging two lateral holding elements on the base body, each of which has two or more recesses. In this way, one or more objects can be fixed using the recesses and, if necessary, leaned against the lateral holding elements. Due to the design with the acute angle, the universal holder can be used both standing and hanging, in both cases objects can be placed or hung in the recesses.

According to the invention, the lateral holding elements form an acute angle with the second base body element. The lateral holding elements are advantageously arranged at right angles to one another, i.e. they form a right angle between them. This results in a stable and non-slip positioning for large rectangular objects placed on them.

According to the invention, the universal holder comprises a floor holding element which is arranged perpendicular to the lateral holding elements at ends of the lateral holding elements adjacent to the first base body element. This makes it possible to store larger objects in the universal holder in the standing state, as they can be supported laterally by the lateral holding elements and below by the base element. In this way, for example, a milk carton with milk for a coffee machine can be placed in front of the coffee machine Machine can be positioned so that a hose can be led from the machine into the box in order to be able to vacuum it completely empty. Books, large wooden spoons or electronic devices such as smartphones or tablets can also be positioned in the universal holder in a stable manner and easily accessible to the user .

The floor holding element advantageously has a recess. For example, in the case of a mobile terminal that is to be charged, the charging cable can be guided through this recess so that it can be guided away from the terminal without kinks and the housing of the terminal can be supported on the floor element.

The recess is preferably elliptical. Such a design makes it possible to easily place a wide variety of devices with charging plugs of different sizes on the floor element.

In a preferred embodiment, the lateral holding elements are formed in one piece. In this way, in conjunction with the glued base element, the dripping of liquids from objects placed in the universal holder can be collected. Furthermore, one glue point is saved in production.

The lateral holding elements are advantageously attached to the base body by gluing.

The respective recess in the respective lateral holding element advantageously has a circular segment in cross section, which adjoins two straight pieces at two ends. The two straight pieces serve as an aid when threading or inserting an object into the recesses. They also prevent the object from falling out of the circular segment-like area of the respective recess.

According to the invention, the two lateral holding elements are arranged at an angle to one another between 45° and 135°, in particular 90°. With the preferred angle of 90°, rectangular objects can be placed or placed particularly stably.

The base body is advantageously made of plastic or metal and/or the lateral holding elements are advantageously made of plastic or metal and/or the base holding element is advantageously made of plastic or metal. In a particularly preferred embodiment, the lateral holding elements and the bottom holding element are made in one piece from plastic.

In a preferred embodiment, a number of bores are provided on the underside of the second base body element. These holes are preferably designed to at least partially accommodate a holding element, in particular a nail, so that the universal holder can be hung on a wall.

A non-slip coating, in particular a rubber coating, is preferably applied to the entire surface of the construction, i.e. the base body or the base body elements, the floor holding element and the lateral elements. This prevents the standing universal holder from slipping on smooth surfaces and prevents objects placed on it from slipping.

The advantages of the invention are, in particular, that the universal holder can be used in a variety of ways, especially for purposes and situations for which there are no other solutions. Thanks to its angled and slanted shape, a milk carton, for example, can be placed diagonally and standing on a corner at the same time. This position allows, for example, an automatic suction system to completely empty the milk carton. It is also anti-slip thanks to the rubber coating on the entire surface, which means it offers secure footing and minimizes the risk of objects placed on it slipping.

Since there are no moving parts, the universal mount is light and very stable. And can have a coating that is anti-slip. The arrangement of the individual components and their special recesses makes it possible to place a wide variety of objects on it in an unusual position, anti-slip, standing or hanging on the wall. The universal holder can be used both standing and hanging.

One in 1 and 2 Universal holder 2 shown comprises a base body 6, which has a first base body element 10 and a second base body element 14, the two base body elements 10, 14 being arranged perpendicular to one another. The two base body elements 10, 14 are formed in one piece as a base body 6 in the exemplary embodiment shown. The base body 6 is made of plastic or metal. The universal holder is included 1 standing and hanging from the side and in 2 shown standing from above, hanging from the front.

The universal holder 2 has a holding device 20, which has two lateral holding elements 24, 28 and a floor holding element 32. In the present exemplary embodiment, the two lateral holding elements 24, 28 and the floor holding element 32 are made in one piece and made of plastic or metal. The two lateral holding elements 24, 28 are inclined to one another at an angle α of 45° to 135°, which is 90 degrees in the preferred embodiment shown.

According to the invention, the floor holding element 32 has two edges 36, 40, which converge accordingly at an angle α of 45° to 135°. The base element 32 is essentially designed as an isosceles triangle, with the two edges 36, 40 forming the legs, opposite which there is an edge 44 which forms the base of the triangle.

The floor holding element 32 has a recess 48 in the middle of the base. In the standing position of the universal holder 2, for example, an electronic device can be placed between the lateral holding elements 24, 28 for charging and supported on the floor holding element 32, whereby the charging socket of the device and/or the charging cable can then be guided through the recess 48, so that this Cable does not have to be bent and the device can rest on the floor holding element 32. In the present case, the recess 48 is semicircular, but is preferably elliptical.

The respective lateral holding element 24, 28 has a plurality, in the present case six, of lateral recesses 50 on an outer side 54, not all of which are provided with reference numbers for the sake of clarity. The side recesses 50 can be used, for example, in the standing position of the universal holder 2 to store brushes, pens and numerous other items. In the hanging position of the universal holder 2, the recesses 50 can be used, for example, for hanging keys, jewelry and numerous other items.

The recesses 50 each have a contour which has a circular segment 56 with two ends, with two straight pieces adjoining the ends, which form an acute angle to one another. The straight pieces, in particular due to their orientation at an acute angle to one another, support the user when inserting an object and guiding it until it comes to rest in the area formed by the circle segment. In this way, items such as tools, brushes, glasses, wooden spoons, household items, etc. can be stored in the recesses in the universal holder 2.

An angle β between a connecting line 30 of the two lateral holding elements 24, 28 and an imaginary line 34, which runs parallel to the respective straight piece 60, which represents an outer straight piece 62, is preferably between 50° and 60°. In the preferred embodiment shown of 55°, there is an optimal ratio between the opening area of the circle segment and the thickness of the lower area of the circle segment.

In the preferred embodiment of the universal holder 2 shown, the angles of the lateral elements 24/28 to the base body 6 are 35°, the angle between the floor holding element 32 and the respective lateral holding element 24/28 is 90°, and the angle between the base body element 10 to the base body element 14 is 90°. This prevents items from falling out when the universal holder 2 is used in a hanging position. At the same time, 2 objects can be held securely and stably in the standing position of the universal holder.

In the 3 The universal casing 2 is shown standing from behind and hanging from above in a rear view.

The 4 shows the universal holder 2 standing from below, hanging from behind. An underside 66 of the first base body element 10 of the universal holder 2 has two bores 70, 74 or openings which enable the universal holder 2 to be suspended, in particular vertically, for example on a wall using, for example, a nail.

The universal holder 2 is in the 7 and 8th shown in two further perspective views.

The 5 and 6 show an unclaimed two-part packaging 100, which is particularly suitable for transporting and storing the universal holder 2. The packaging has a lower part 104, which is in the 5 is shown on the left from above and on the right from the side, as well as an upper part 106, which is shown in the 6 left from below and in the 6 shown to the right of the page. Both parts 104, 106 are triangular in their base area. To close the packaging 100, the upper part 106 is placed on the lower part 104. The upper part 106 has locking pins 110 on its three inner sides 120, each of which protrudes laterally from the inner side 120 into the inner region of the upper part 106. The lower part 104 has locking recesses 114 at corresponding locations.

With the help of the locking pins 110 and the locking recesses 114, a special locking technology is implemented to prevent the packaging 100 from being opened unintentionally. For this purpose, when the two parts 104, 106 are pushed together, the locking pins 110 snap into the precisely fitting recesses 114. In order to be able to separate the two parts 104, 106 again, pressure points 126, in this case three, must be lightly pressed. During this process, the locking pins 110 are pushed out of the locking recesses 114 and the two parts 104, 106 can be separated from each other again by pulling at the same time. The pressure points 126 are identified by a label and a slight, color-coded increase. In the present case, the pressure points 126 are designed as stickers. The two parts 104, 106 are made of cardboard so that they form two cardboard halves of the packaging 100. Alternatively, the two parts 104, 106 can be made of plastic.
