Definitions
- the invention relates to a microscope stand with a tripod base, a support for the optical components and with a handle.
- Microscope stands of this type which have a carrying handle for easier transport, are known in various designs.
- the handle proves to be particularly advantageous when the microscope has to be transported frequently, for example during lectures, and the microscope stand can no longer be gripped with one hand due to its design.
- the known handles are either rigidly connected to the microscope, ie put on or attached, for example screwed, or the handle is formed by a hand-made opening in the microscope stand itself, which thus also serves as a transport handle.
- the handle In the first case, not only is the overall appearance impaired by the protruding handle, but the space requirement is also increased, which has a corresponding effect on the design of the equipment cabinet.
- the second case no additional space is required, but here too the appearance of the microscope stand is adversely affected.
- a breakthrough in the microscope stand is inevitable due to the loss of material reduced rigidity.
- this rigidity is often of great importance, for example when relatively heavy additional devices such as connecting pieces, camera housings, etc. are attached to or on the microscope stand for photomicrographic purposes.
- the invention was accordingly based on the object of developing a microscope tripod of the type mentioned at the outset, which on the one hand does not impair the overall picture of the microscope and does not increase the space requirement, but on the other hand maintains the rigidity even under greater loads.
- this object is achieved in that the handle is arranged retractable on the support of the microscope stand.
- This configuration ensures that the handle is not readily visible from the outside when not in transport position and practically forms a unit with the microscope stand, so that the appearance of the microscope is not disrupted and no additional space is taken up. A reduced stiffness is avoided at the same time in this way.
- this arrangement ensures that the microscope largely maintains the position during transport that it has in the installed state and is not tilted. This prevents the eyepieces from falling out of the tube during transport.
- the carrying handle can advantageously be pivoted into a recess on the carrier, the recess being able to be designed differently for manufacturing or other reasons.
- the recess can run in a U-shaped manner around the upper boundary edges of the carrier.
- the handle which can be pivoted into the recess in a form-fitting manner, then has the shape of a bracket.
- the recess can also be T-shaped, which is then assigned a correspondingly designed carrying handle, the longitudinal web of which runs parallel to the longitudinal edges of the carrier and which is likewise mounted so that it can be swung in and out about a transverse axis.
- a U-shaped recess with its base edge can also run parallel to a side edge of the carrier.
- the axis of rotation for the handle is in this case arranged centrally in the longitudinal direction of the carrier, and the handle also has a bow or handle shape. It is understood that a catch or spring is provided in all of the above-mentioned embodiments, which locks or holds the handle in its pivoted-out state.
- the handle can be inserted into a receiving opening in the support of the microscope stand, which is elongated.
- the handle is attached to the upper end of a vertically movable rod, creating a stick-like shape.
- Resilient means for holding or locking the handle in its end positions are expediently provided.
- the form-fitting sinking of the handle in the carrier can be carried out by pressing the button-like handle, which, when pressed a second time, swings out of the receiving opening in the carrier into the transport position.
- a spring catch as is known for example from the pressure mechanism of the ballpoint pen, is sufficient for this.
- 1 is a side view of a microscope with the microscope stand according to the invention in a first embodiment
- 2 is a partial perspective view of a microscope stand of another embodiment
- Fig. 3 is a partial perspective view of a microscope stand of a third embodiment
- Fig. 4 is a partial perspective view of a further embodiment of the microscope stand.
- a microscope 10 essentially consists in a known manner of a stand 11, which is here rectangular, with a support 12 which is horizontal in the present case and a vertical stand 13 to which an object table 14 is fastened in a vertically displaceable manner, one on the underside of the support 12 arranged, for example ball-bearing revolving nosepiece 15 for holding a plurality of objectives 16, an eyepiece tube 17 for eyepieces 18 fastened to the top of the carrier 12, a stand base 19 which accommodates the illumination optics (not shown in more detail) and a condenser 20 arranged under the object table 14 Stand 13 is relatively small for reasons of rigidity and the cross-section is dimensioned accordingly large, so that it is not possible to grip the stand 13 with one hand.
- the carrier 12 has a recess 21 which extends in a U-shape around the end of the carrier 12 opposite the eyepiece tube 17.
- a handle 22 which is pivotable about an axis 23.
- the carrying handle 22 is not readily recognizable, since it is flush with the contours of the microscope 10, so that its appearance is not impaired.
- the recess 21 ' has an essentially T-shape, to which a T-shaped carrying handle 22', which can be pivoted about an axis 23 ', is assigned;
- the handle 22 ' runs with its longitudinal web parallel to the longitudinal edges of the carrier 12 and is under the action of a torsion spring 24 which is arranged on the axis 23' and which, after actuation of a spring catch 25 holding it in its position pivoted into the recess 21 ', actuates the carrying handle 22', like a spring clip, swings out and holds in the vertical transport position.
- a torsion spring 24 which is arranged on the axis 23' and which, after actuation of a spring catch 25 holding it in its position pivoted into the recess 21 ', actuates the carrying handle 22', like a spring clip, swings out and holds in the vertical transport position.
- other means known per se can also be provided for locking and pivoting out the carrying handle 22.
- the carrying handle 22 is guided around pivot pins 27 arranged here in elongated holes 26, which are centered in the longitudinal direction of the carrier 12 are arranged.
- the handle 22 "thus has a handle or bow shape. Its transport position is shown in dashed lines.
- a rectangular opening 28 is provided in the carrier 12, the longitudinal sides of which extend parallel to the longitudinal edges of the carrier 12 and into which a carrying handle 22 '"can be countersunk. This is on one side with a vertically displaceable in a guide 29 , connected at right angles to the handle 22 '"cylindrical rod 30 like a stick handle, which is surrounded by a spiral spring 31.
- Locking means are also provided here in order to hold the handle 22 '", which is under the action of the spiral spring 31, in its lowered position.
- known locking means are used which release the handle 22"' or apply light pressure hold it after insertion into the receiving opening 28.
