Abstract

A holder for a stack of a variable number of pictures is disclosed. The holder includes a clamping device whereby a stack of pictures in the holder is held against a window. Pictures can be added or removed at an open end of the window frame or through the back of the frame. Alignment devices are provided, preferably on at least two sides of the frame, to align the uppermost picture in the stack with the window.

Description

Die Erfindung betrifft einen Halter für einen Stapel von Bildern variabler Dicke mit einem Fenster, an dem das oberste Bild des Stapels mittels einer Anlegeanordnung flach anliegend präsentiert wird, und mit Zentriermitteln, die die Bilder in ihrer Position relativ zum Fenster sichern. Ein derartiger Halter ist aus der US-PS 4.242.820 bekannt.The invention relates to a holder for a stack of images of variable thickness with a window on which the uppermost image of the stack is presented lying flat by means of a positioning arrangement and with centering means which secure the images in their position relative to the window. Such a holder is known from US-PS 4,242,820.

Die bekannten Bilderhalter umschließen den Bilderstapel vollständig, und um ihn gegebenenfalls auf Vollständigkeit kontrollieren zu können, muß der Bildhalter geöffnet werden. Die Anlegeanordnung wird dabei inaktiviert. Das ganze ergibt einen für den vorgesehenen Zweck relativ aufwendigen Mechanismus.The known picture holders completely enclose the picture stack, and in order to be able to check it for completeness if necessary, the picture holder must be opened. The layout is deactivated. The whole results in a mechanism which is relatively complex for the intended purpose.

Aufgabe der Erfindung ist es, einen Bildhalter der eingangs genannten Gattung zu schaffen, bei dem die Anlegeanordnung einen so einfachen Aufbau besitzt, daß der Halter insgesamt besonders preisgünstig zu fertigen ist.The object of the invention is to provide an image holder of the type mentioned, in which the application arrangement has such a simple structure that the holder is particularly inexpensive to manufacture.

Man erkennt in Fig. 1 einen Rahmen 100 mit einem Fensterausschnitt 102, hinter dem das oberste Bild 104 eines Stapels von Bildern sichtbar ist. An den Längsseiten des Rahmens befinden sich nach hinten bezüglich des Fensters abgebogene Randpartien 106, die elastisch auffedem können und den hinter dem Fenster 102 liegenden Stapel fest an die das Fenster umgebenden Rahmenbereiche pressen, ober aber - falls eine Scheibe in den Fensterausschnitt eingesetzt ist - an den letzteren. Der Stapel wird ausgefluchtet unter dem Fensterausschnitt abgestützt ; zu diesem Zweck sind Anschläge 108 in dem von dem Randpartien umgriffen Hohlräumen vorgesehen sowie ein sich senkrecht dazu erstreckender Endanschlag 110 (vgl. Fig. 2), der sich senkrecht von der Querkante 112 nach unten (in Fig. 1) erstreckt. An dem dem Endanschlag 110 gegenüberliegenden Ende des von dem Stapel eingenommenen Raums ist der Halter offen, so daß die Bilder hier herausgezogen werden können. Das Einschieben eines Stapels wird dadurch erleichtert, daß die Ecken 114 der nach hinten umgelegten Randbereiche 106 von dem Fensterausschnitt weg abgewinkelt sind und so eine Rampe bilden, längs der der Stapel geführt werden kann.1 shows a frame 100 with a window section 102, behind which the uppermost image 104 of a stack of images is visible. On the long sides of the frame there are edge portions 106 which are bent backwards with respect to the window and which can spring open elastically and press the stack lying behind the window 102 firmly against the frame areas surrounding the window, but above - if a pane is inserted into the window cutout the latter. The stack is aligned and supported under the window opening; for this purpose, stops 108 are provided in the cavities encompassed by the edge parts and an end stop 110 (cf. FIG. 2) which extends perpendicularly thereto and which extends vertically downward from the transverse edge 112 (in FIG. 1). At the end of the space occupied by the stack opposite the end stop 110, the holder is open so that the images can be pulled out here. The insertion of a stack is facilitated in that the corners 114 of the edge regions 106 which are folded backwards are angled away from the window cutout and thus form a ramp along which the stack can be guided.

Die federnde Auslenkung der Randpartien 106 hängt von der Dicke des Stapels ab. Ein großer Spielraum kann überdeckt werden, wenn beispielsweise an einen Kunststoffrahmen 100 die Randpartien aus Federstahl angesetzt sind, wie in Fig. 2 angedeutet; in diesem Fall bilden auch die Anschläge 108 und 110 einen einstückigen Teil des Kunststoffrahmens.The resilient deflection of the edge portions 106 depends on the thickness of the stack. A large margin can be covered if, for example, the edge parts made of spring steel are attached to a plastic frame 100, as indicated in FIG. 2; in this case the stops 108 and 110 also form an integral part of the plastic frame.

Aber auch, wenn der Anschlag 110 einstückig mit dem Rahmen und auch mit den federnden Randpartien 106 ausgebildet wäre, würde die Auslenkung der letzteren nicht behindert, da der Endanschlag 110 an beiden Enden von den Randpartien abgesetzt ist.But even if the stop 110 were formed in one piece with the frame and also with the resilient edge parts 106, the deflection of the latter would not be impeded, since the end stop 110 is offset from the edge parts at both ends.

Eine Variante, bei der der Endanschlag 110' über die gesamte Endfläche des Halters reicht, ist in Fig. 3 und 4 dargestellt: Hier sorgt der Trennschlitz 116 dafür, daß die federnde Auslenkung der Randpartien 106 unbehindert erfolgen kann. Hier ist auch angedeutet, daß an den Endanschlag nach innen einspringende T-Stücke 107 angeformt sind, die dafür sorgen, daß der Bilderstapel allseits im gleichen Maße von dem Rahmen abgedeckt wird, wobei angestrebt ist, daß diese Abdeckung so klein wie möglicht ist. Ferner erkennt man bei dieser Variante das in den Rahmen 100 eingesetzte Fenster 118.A variant in which the end stop 110 ′ extends over the entire end face of the holder is shown in FIGS. 3 and 4: Here, the separating slot 116 ensures that the resilient deflection of the edge parts 106 can take place without hindrance. Here, it is also indicated that T-pieces 107 which protrude inwards at the end stop, ensure that the stack of images is covered by the frame to the same extent on all sides, the aim being that this cover be as small as possible. This variant also shows the window 118 inserted in the frame 100.

Fig. 5-8 zeigen zwei weitere Varianten : Gemäß Fig. 5 und 7 ist zusammen mit dem Stapel ein Anschlag- und Halteteil - getrennt herausgezeichnet als Fig. 7 - in den Rahmen eingeschoben, und dieses Teil umfaßt die Anschläge, die sich quer zu den federnden Randpartien 106 erstrecken. In der Ausführungsform nach Fig. 6 und 8 hingegen besitzt dieses Anschlag- und Halteteil (Fig. 8) sämtliche Anschläge für den Stapel. In beiden Fällen ist natürlich das Material glasklarer Kunststoff, da die Sichtfensterverglasung Teil des Anschlag- und Halteteils ist.5-8 show two further variants: According to FIGS. 5 and 7, together with the stack, a stop and holding part - shown separately as FIG. 7 - is inserted into the frame, and this part comprises the stops which extend transversely to the resilient edge parts 106 extend. In the embodiment according to FIGS. 6 and 8, however, this stop and holding part (FIG. 8) has all the stops for the stack. In both cases, of course, the material is crystal-clear plastic, since the viewing window glazing is part of the stop and holding part.

Fig. 9 stellt perspektivisch ein aus zwei plattenförmigen Abschnitten bestehendes Spritzgußteil 120 dar. Der plattenförmige Abschnitt 122 hat eine Breite « b » gleich der Breite der unterzubringenden Bilder und kann, wie in Fig. 10 perspektivisch angedeutet, zusammen mit jenen in den Halter so eingesetzt werden, daß der schmalere plattenförmige Abschnitt 124 als Fuß dienen kann, wenn der Halter als hochkantstehender Rahmen verwendet wird. Fig. 11 zeigt in Seitenansicht, wie das Teil 120 einzusetzen ist, wenn der Halter als Querformat-Rahmen aufgestellt werden soll. Der Halter selbst entspricht der Ausführungsform nach Fig. 5 bis 8.9 shows in perspective an injection molded part 120 consisting of two plate-shaped sections. The plate-shaped section 122 has a width “b” equal to the width of the images to be accommodated and, as indicated in perspective in FIG. 10, can be inserted into the holder together with those that the narrower plate-shaped portion 124 can serve as a foot when the holder is used as an upright frame. 11 shows a side view of how part 120 is to be used if the holder is to be set up as a landscape frame. The holder itself corresponds to the embodiment according to FIGS. 5 to 8.

Die Ausführungsform nach Fig. 12 und 13 unterscheidet sich von der bisher beschriebenen Grundkonstruktion dadurch, daß hier die Klammern nicht elastisch vorgespannt an dem Stapel anliegen, sondern schwenkbeweglich sind und in ihren Schwenklagern soviel Reibung aufweisen, daß sie in einer einmal manuell eingestellten Position verharren.The embodiment according to FIGS. 12 and 13 differs from the basic construction described so far in that here the clamps do not rest against the stack in an elastically prestressed manner, but are pivotable and have so much friction in their pivot bearings that they remain in a position which has been set manually once.

Der Halter besteht hier aus einem doppelwandigen Rahmen 130 mit Fensteröffnung 132 - gegebenenfalls verglast -, wobei die Innenwände 134 die Zentriermittel zum Ausrichten des Bilderstapels 136 bezüglich der Fensteröffnung darstellen. Die Innenwände 134 weisen ferner Lageröffnungen für zwei einander gegenüberliegende Zapfen 138 auf, die an zwei Flügel 140 angeformt sind. Diese stellen die Klammern dar. Die Breite der Flügel zwischen den Zapfen ist so bemessen, daß sie an den jeweils quer zu den sich lagernden Innenwänden verlaufenden Innenwänden mit Friktion anliegen, so daß sie eine Position, in der sie den Stapel an der Fensteröffnung flach anliegend halten, und in die sie von Hand bewegt worden sind, auch beibehalten. Wie in Fig. 14 gezeigt, muß man nicht unbedingt ein Zapfenlager vorsehen : Wird ein entsprechendes Kunststoffmaterial eingesetzt, etwa Polypropylen, kann man das Gelenk 142 einstückig mit dem Rahmen einerseits, den Flügeln andererseits ausbilden.The holder here consists of a double-walled frame 130 with a window opening 132 - optionally glazed -, the inner walls 134 being the centering means for aligning the image stack 136 with respect to the window opening. The inner walls 134 also have bearing openings for two pins 138 lying opposite one another, which are formed on two wings 140. These represent the brackets. The width of the wings between the pegs is dimensioned such that they rest with friction on the respective inner walls which run transversely to the inner walls which are positioned, so that they have a position in which they lie flat against the window opening hold, and into which they have been moved by hand. As shown in FIG. 14, it is not absolutely necessary to provide a journal bearing: if an appropriate plastic material is used, such as polypropylene, the joint 142 can be formed in one piece with the frame on the one hand and the wings on the other.

Fig. 15-18 stellen ein weiteres Ausführungsbeispiel dar. Hier umfaßt der Halter einen Rahmen 150 mit einer - gegebenenfalls durch eine glasklare Kunststoffscheibe abgedeckten - Fensteröffnung 152 und an die kürzeren Seitenwandungen 154 des Rahmens angeformten Zentrieranschlägen 156. Ebenfalls an den Rahmen angeformt erstrecken sich von seiner Frontplatte 158 parallel zu seinen längeren Seitenwänden Pfeiler 160, die einerseits die Funktion von Anschlägen erfüllen, um den Stapel 162 an seinen längeren Kanten abzustützen, und zum andern Einschnitte 164 aufweisen, in die die Anlegeklammer bildende Blattfedern einhängbar sind. Dies erfolgt dadurch, daß die Federn jeweils ein Paar von Durchbrüchen 166 aufweisen, bei denen jedoch der Abstand ihrer einander zugekehrten Endkanten größer ist als der Abstand der Einschnitte 164 desjenigen Paares von Pfeilern, bei dem die betreffende Feder eingehangen ist. Das Einhängen ist demgemäß nur in zwei stabilen Positionen der Federn möglich, die jeweils in Fig. 15 bzw. 16 dargestellt sind : In der ersteren über die freien Federarme 168 einen Anlegedruck auf den eingelegten Stapel aus, und wenn man auf den mittleren Federbogen 170 zwischen den Pfeilern 160 drückt, springt die Feder in die Position nach Fig. 16, in der der Stapel austauschbar ist (sogenannter « Froschfeder-Effekt »). Wenn die Dicke des Stapels nach Fig. 15 z. B. vergrößert wird, werden nur die Federarme jenseits der Pfeilereinschnitte einer Biegebeanspruchung unterworfen, während der Federabschnitt zwischen dem betreffenden Pfeilerpaar sich nicht weiter verformt. Nach dem Einlegen eines Stapels (Fig. 16) drückt man auf die Federenden, um die Position nach Fig. 15 wieder herzustellen.15-18 represent a further exemplary embodiment. Here, the holder comprises a frame 150 with a window opening 152 - optionally covered by a clear plastic pane - and centering stops 156 formed on the shorter side walls 154 of the frame. Also molded onto the frame extend from its front plate 158 parallel to its longer side walls, pillars 160, which on the one hand fulfill the function of stops to support the stack 162 on its longer edges, and on the other hand have incisions 164 into which leaf springs forming the application clip can be hung. This is done in that the springs each have a pair of openings 166, in which, however, the distance between their mutually facing end edges is greater than the distance of the incisions 164 of the pair of pillars in which the spring in question is attached. Accordingly, it is only possible to hang the springs in two stable positions, each of which is shown in FIGS. 15 and 16: in the former, the free spring arms 168 apply pressure to the inserted stack, and if one clicks on the central spring arch 170 between 16, the spring jumps into the position according to FIG. 16, in which the stack can be exchanged (so-called “frog spring effect”). If the thickness of the stack of FIG. 15 z. B. is enlarged, only the spring arms beyond the pillar incisions are subjected to a bending stress, while the spring section between the respective pillar pair does not deform any further. After inserting a stack (Fig. 16), press on the spring ends to restore the position shown in Fig. 15.

Fig. 19-21 zeigen ein weiteres Ausführungsbeispiel. Im Prinzip handelt es sich um zwei Halter 180, 180', die mittels eines Gelenks 181 zu einer Baugruppe vereinigt sind. Der Halter kann also, wie in Fig. 21 gezeigt, so aufgestellt werden, daß die beiden Sichtfenster 182 nebeneinander stehen, aber auch so - vgl. Fig. 19 - daß beide Halter Rücken an Rücken zu liegen kommen.19-21 show another embodiment. In principle, there are two holders 180, 180 ', which are combined to form an assembly by means of a joint 181. As shown in FIG. 21, the holder can thus be set up in such a way that the two viewing windows 182 stand side by side, but also in this way - cf. Fig. 19 - that both holders come to lie back to back.

Auf der dem Sichtfenster abgewandten Seite weist jeder im Schnitt nach Fig. 19 rinnenförmige Halter mit Seitenwänden 184, einer Bodenwand 186 und nach innen einspringenden Stützleisten 188 Blattfedern 190 auf, die sich auf den Stützleisten abstützen und den eingelegten Bilderstapel in Anlage an dem jeweiligen Sichtfenster halten. Durch die der Bodenwand 186 gegenüberliegende Öffnung kann der Stapel ausgetauscht werden.19 has channel-shaped holders with side walls 184, a bottom wall 186 and inwardly protruding support strips 188, leaf springs 190, which are supported on the support strips and hold the inserted stack of images in contact with the respective viewing window . The stack can be exchanged through the opening opposite the bottom wall 186.

Fig. 22-25 stellen ein letztes Ausführungsbeispiel dar. Der Halter weist, ähnlich wie in Fig. 12-14, eine das Sichtfenster 200 umgebende Doppelwandstruktur mit Außenwänden 202, Innenwänden 204 und Rahmenabschnitten 206 auf. An einer der Innenwandungen, hier einer der längeren Innenwandungen rechts in Fig. 23, sind zwei Streifen 208 aus volumenkompressiblem Material befestigt, z. B. Streifen aus Schaumstoff angeklebt. Ihnen gegenüber ist die Innenwand durch Einschnitte 210 unterbrochen, und Aussparungen 212 in den Rahmenabschnitten in diesem Bereich ermöglichen, daß der Teil 214 der betreffenden Innenwandung zwischen den Einschnitten 210 elastisch ausgelenkt werden kann. An diesem elastisch auslenkbaren Innenwandungsteil 214 sind, den Streifen 208 gegenüberliegend, entsprechende Streifen 216 angebracht. Der Abstand der beiden einander gegenüberliegenden Innenwände ist jeweils genau auf die entsprechende Abmessung eines einzulegenden Bilderstapels abgestimmt. Um diesen einlegen zu können, wird also (vgl. Fig. 25) der Innenwandungsteil 214 ausgebogen, und wie man insbesondere in Fig. 24 sehen kann, ist der betreffende Streifen 216 in Richtung auf das Fenster verjüngt, so daß in der Tat das dem Fenster nächstliegende Bild flächig anliegen kann, ohne gestaucht zu werden. Der Rest des Stapels komprimiert jeweils die Streifen, wie z. B. in Fig. 22 erkennbar.22-25 illustrate a last exemplary embodiment. Similar to FIGS. 12-14, the holder has a double wall structure surrounding the viewing window 200 with outer walls 202, inner walls 204 and frame sections 206. On one of the inner walls, here one of the longer inner walls on the right in FIG. 23, two strips 208 made of volume-compressible material are fastened, e.g. B. strips of foam glued. Opposite them, the inner wall is interrupted by incisions 210, and recesses 212 in the frame sections in this area enable the part 214 of the relevant inner wall between the incisions 210 to be deflected elastically. Corresponding strips 216 are attached to this elastically deflectable inner wall part 214, opposite the strips 208. The distance between the two inner walls opposite each other is precisely matched to the corresponding dimension of an image stack to be inserted. In order to be able to insert this, the inner wall part 214 is therefore bent out (cf. FIG. 25), and as can be seen in particular in FIG The strip 216 in question tapers in the direction of the window, so that the image closest to the window can in fact lie flat without being compressed. The rest of the stack compresses the strips, e.g. B. recognizable in Fig. 22.
