Description

Flexible Halterung Der Erfindung liegt die Aufgabe zugrunde, eine flexible Halterung für beliebige Körper und verschiedenste Anwendungsgebiete zu schaffen, die eine große Beweglichkeit besitzt und deren Stellung einfach in @\'eiten Grenzen verändert werden kann. Dabei soll die Halterung trotz ihrer großen Beweglichkeit in beliebigen Stellungen derart beeinflußt werden können, daß sie entweder vollkommen steif wird oder aber mehr oder weniger leicht beweglich bleibt. Dies soll durch einfache Bedienungshandgriffe ermöglicht werden.Flexible holder The invention is based on the object of a flexible holder for any body and various areas of application create, which has a great mobility and their position simply in @ \ 'eiten Limits can be changed. The bracket should be despite its great mobility in any position can be influenced in such a way that it is either completely becomes stiff or remains more or less easy to move. This is supposed to go through simple operating handles are made possible.

Die oben geschilderten Aufgaben werden gemäß der l?rhtidunä in der \\'eise gelöst, daß aus einzelnen gegeneinander in mehr oder weniger weiten Grenzen stetig oder absatzweise beweglichen Gliedern ein hohler Strang gebildet wird, dessen Beweglichkeit durch einen in seinem Inneren wirkenden Flüssigkeits- oder Gasdruck in der gewünschten Weise beeinflußt werden kann. Auf diese Weise kann man bewirken, daß der hohle Strang mehr oder weniger beweglich ist oder aber auch zu einem völlig starren Gebilde wird. Besonders vorteilhaft wegen der vielseitigen Beweglichkeit und der erzielbaren einfachen Anordnung ist eine Halterung, die aus einer Reihe von Kugelgelenken aufgebaut ist. Eine solche Halterung ist als Ausführungsbei -spiel für den Erfindungsgegenstand in Fig. i dargestellt. Zwei ,der miteinander zusammenarbeitenden Bauelemente sind in dieser Figur mit i und 2 bezeichnet. Ein derartiges Einzelglied ist in Fig. 2 gesondert dargestellt. Es besteht aus einem schalenförmigen Teil 3, dessen innere Oberfläche die Form einer Kugel hat und einem mit diesen verbundenen, ebenfalls kugeligen Ansatzteil 4, der in die Schale des nächsten Gelenkbauteiles eingreift. Der Gelenkteil 4 ist in irgendeiner Weise, z. B. wie in Fig. 2 dargestellt, ,durch Schlitzen elastisch gemacht, derart, daß er deformiert werden kann. In Fig. i ist nun die weitere Durchführung des geschilderten Baugrundsatzes näher ersichtlich. In das Innere des von den Bauelementen,i und 2 gebildeten gelenkigen Stranges ist ein elastischer Schlauch 5, natürlicher oder Kunstgummischlauch, eingeführt, der durch ein Gas oder eine Flüssigkeit elastisch nach außen auseinandergedrückt werden kann. Über die bei der dargestellten Ausführungsform vorgesehenen Zwischenpolster 6, die vorzugsweise auch aus einem elastischen Material bestehen, wirkt,der im Inneren des Schlauches 5 ausgeübte Druck auf den elastischen Gelenkteil 4 und preßt ihn gegen die Schale 3. Infolge drer zwischen dem Gelenkteil 4 und der Schale 3 herrschenden Reiburig wird @dadurch die Beweglichkeit des Gebildes je nach dem Druck verringert bzw. Überhaupt beseitigt. Gegebenenfalls kann man ,durch. geeignete Behandlung der miteinander in Berührung stehenden Oberflächen der Ge- lenkteile den Reiibungskaeffizienten vergrößern, so daß das Gebilde auch bei nicht besonders großen Drucken in dem Schlauch 5 praktisch völlig starr wird. Die Zwischenstücke 6 können gleichfalls aus natürlichem Gummi, Kunstgummi oder sonst einem elastischen Material hergestellt werden. Man kann sie auch als geschlitzt geeignet gebogene Bleche oder Spiralfedern ausbilden. Die Anordnung muß lediglich derart getroffen sein, @daß der im Inneren des Rohres 5 erzeugte Druck auf :die elastischen Gelenkteile 4 iibertragen wird. Die Anordnung nach der Erfindung hat den Vorteil, daß die Halterung nach allen Richtungen beweglich ist. Man kann durch geeignete Ausbildung :der ineinandergreifenden Gelenkteile, z. B. durch Anbringung von entsprechenden Rasten und mit diesen zuoammenarbeitenden Federn erzielen, daß bestimmte Stellungen des Haltegliedes bevorzugt sind, so @daß man diese Stellungen in einfacher Weise und schnell herstellen :kann. Das Arretieren und Entarretieren der Haltevorrichtung geht rasch und sicher vor sich. Die Beweglichkeit der Halterung ist stufenlos in weiten Grenzen regelbar. Außerdem ist in einfacher Weise eine Fernbedienung des Gerätes möglich. Für bestimmte Anwendungszwecke kann die Beweglichkeit der Stränge durch Steuerung des Öl- oder Gasdruckes nach einem bestimmten Programm geändert werden. Außerdem hat man die Möglichkeit, viele Stränge gleichzeitig zu bedienen. Der Platzbedarf :der Anordnung ist sehr klein, da es sich um glatte Halteteile ohne Arretierungsschrauben, seitliche Versteifungen u. a. handelt; Bei verhältnismäßig geringem Gewicht kann man eine sehr hohe Festigkeit der Halterung erzielen. Handelt es sich um besonders hoch beanspruchte Halterungen, so kann man die Halteglieder so ausbilden, daß der Querschnitt des Stranges nach denjenigen Stellen, an denen ein höheres Biegemoment herrscht, zunimmt.The tasks described above are achieved in accordance with the principle that a hollow cord is formed from individual limbs that are continuously or intermittently movable relative to one another within more or less wide limits Gas pressure can be influenced in the desired way. In this way one can cause the hollow strand to be more or less movable or else to become a completely rigid structure. Particularly advantageous because of the versatile mobility and the achievable simple arrangement is a bracket that is made up of a number of ball joints. Such a holder is shown as an exemplary embodiment for the subject matter of the invention in FIG. Two of the components that work together are denoted by i and 2 in this figure. Such an individual link is shown separately in FIG. It consists of a shell-shaped part 3, the inner surface of which has the shape of a sphere, and a likewise spherical attachment part 4 connected to it, which engages in the shell of the next joint component. The joint part 4 is in some way, for. As shown in Fig. 2, made elastic by slitting so that it can be deformed. In Fig. I the further implementation of the basic principle described can now be seen in more detail. In the interior of the articulated cord formed by the components, i and 2, an elastic hose 5, natural or synthetic rubber hose, is inserted, which can be pushed apart elastically to the outside by a gas or a liquid. About the provided in the illustrated embodiment intermediate pad 6, which is preferably also made of an elastic material, the pressure exerted inside the hose 5 acts on the elastic joint part 4 and presses it against the shell 3. As a result, drer between the joint part 4 and the Shell 3 prevailing friction is @thereby the mobility of the structure depending on the pressure reduced or eliminated at all. If necessary, you can, through. appropriate treatment of the related contact surfaces with each other in the overall steering parts increase the Reiibungskaeffizienten, so that the structure is virtually completely rigid even when not particularly large pressures in the hose. 5 The intermediate pieces 6 can also be made of natural rubber, synthetic rubber or some other elastic material. They can also be designed as suitably slotted bent sheets or spiral springs. The arrangement only has to be made in such a way that the pressure generated inside the tube 5 is transmitted to the elastic joint parts 4. The arrangement according to the invention has the advantage that the holder is movable in all directions. You can through appropriate training: the interlocking joint parts, z. B. achieve by attaching appropriate notches and with these cooperating springs that certain positions of the holding member are preferred, so @ that you can produce these positions in a simple way and quickly: can. The locking and unlocking of the holding device is quick and safe. The mobility of the bracket is infinitely variable within wide limits. In addition, remote control of the device is possible in a simple manner. For certain applications, the mobility of the strands can be changed by controlling the oil or gas pressure according to a specific program. You also have the option of operating many strands at the same time. The space requirement: the arrangement is very small, since it is smooth holding parts without locking screws, lateral stiffeners, etc.; With a relatively low weight, you can achieve a very high strength of the bracket. If the mounts are particularly highly stressed, the holding members can be designed in such a way that the cross-section of the strand increases after those points where there is a higher bending moment.

In den Fig. 3 und 4 sind Beispiele für die Gesamtanordnung der erfindungsgemäßen Halterung gegeben. In Fig. 3 ist der Halteteil mit 7 bezeichnet. Er sitzt auf einer Grundplatte 8 und trägt beispielsweise eine Stativklemme g. Durch Niederdrücken eines Bedienungshebels io kann über eine Pumpe :ein Gas- oder Flüssigkeitsdruck innerhalb des hohlen Stranges erzeugt werden, der der Halterung die gewünschte Steifigkeit gibt. Der Hebel @i8 braucht natürlich nichtdauernd niedergedrückt zu werden. Man kann vielmehr durch Absperren der Zwischenleitung i i mit Hilfe des Arretierungsventils ii2 dafür sorgen, daß der Druck in dem Strang erhalten bleibt. Dieses Ventil :dient auch zur Entarretierung. Es kann auch ein Rückschlagventil vorgesehen werden, so daß beim Niederdrücken des Hebels io der Strang seine Steifigkeit so lange beibehält, bis durch ein inneres Entarretierungsventil 12 dem 01 oder dem anderen Druckmittel das Rückströmen in den Vorratsraum ermöglicht wird.3 and 4 are examples of the overall arrangement of the holder according to the invention. In FIG. 3, the holding part is denoted by 7. It sits on a base plate 8 and carries, for example, a stand clamp g. By depressing an operating lever io, a pump can: Generate a gas or liquid pressure within the hollow strand, which gives the holder the required rigidity. The lever @ i8 does not need to be depressed all the time, of course. Rather, by shutting off the intermediate line ii with the aid of the locking valve ii2, it is possible to ensure that the pressure in the line is maintained. This valve: is also used for unlocking. A check valve can also be provided so that when the lever is depressed, the strand maintains its rigidity until an internal unlocking valve 12 enables the 01 or the other pressure medium to flow back into the storage space.

In Fig.4 ist eine Vielfachhalterung dargestellt, die aus den Strängen 13, 14, 15 und 16 besteht, die an beliebigen Stellen an dem Objekt 17 angreifen. Die Arretierungsvorrichtung, welche in derselben Weise aufgebaut sein kann, wie die nach Fig. 3, ist hier mit,18 bezeichnet.In Figure 4, a multiple bracket is shown, which consists of the strands 13, 14, 15 and 16, which attack the object 17 at any point. The locking device, which can be constructed in the same way as that according to FIG. 3 is denoted by 18 here.

Die Anwendungsmöglichkeit der Erfindung ist weitgehend. Stative aller Art, allgemeine Bauelemente im Maschinenbau, Halteorgane zur Durchführung von Operationen sind Beispiele für die Anwendungsfälle, in welchen :die Erfindung Vorteile bringt. Was die technische Herstellung des Erfindungsgegenstandes betrifft, ist darauf hinzuweisen, @daß sie deshalb ökonomisch gestaltet werden kann, weil die Halteorgane für die verschiedensten Längen stets aus gleichartig ausgebildeten, einfach im Serienbau herstellbaren Teilen zusammengesetzt sind.The application possibility of the invention is largely. Tripods of all Art, general components in mechanical engineering, holding elements for carrying out operations are examples of the applications in which: the invention brings advantages. As far as the technical production of the subject matter of the invention is concerned, it should be pointed out that @ That it can be made economical because the holding organs for the various lengths, always made of the same type, simple in series production manufacturable parts are assembled.
