Description

Die Erfindung bezieht sich auf eine Vorrichtung zum Aufhängen von Traggestellen an eine Kontaktschiene einer Galvanisieranlage, wie solche aus einem auf der Kontaktschiene längsverschiebbaren, im Querschnitt etwa U-förmigen Träger mit einer an diesem vorgesehenen Halterung für das Traggestell bestehen, wobei in dem einen Schenkel des Trägers eine Schraube zum Anziehen des Trägers gegen die Traggestellhalterung geführt ist.The invention relates to a device for hanging support frames on a contact rail of an electroplating system, such as those consisting of a longitudinally displaceable on the contact rail, approximately U-shaped cross-section with a holder provided thereon for the support frame, in which one leg of the Carrier is a screw for tightening the carrier against the support bracket.

Bei einer bekannten Aufhängevorrichtung (GB-PS 14 43 039) ist die Warenstange mit dem einen Schenkel des Trägers fest verbunden und in dem anderen Schenkel des Trägers eine Schraube geführt, die zum Festklemmen der Vorrichtung an der Kontaktschiene gegen diese anziehbar ist. Bei einer derartigen Aufhängevorrichtung ist kein guter Kontakt der Kontaktschiene mit der Warenstange gegeben.In a known suspension device (GB-PS 14 43 039), the merchandise rod is firmly connected to one leg of the carrier and a screw is guided in the other leg of the carrier, which screw can be tightened against the contact rail for clamping the device. With such a suspension device, there is no good contact between the contact rail and the goods rod.

Der Erfindung liegt die Aufgabe zugrunde, den Träger der Aufhängevorrichtung so auszubilden, daß sicherer Kontakt der Kontaktschiene mit dem Traggestell gewährleistet ist, wobei das Traggestell bzw. dessen Stange unmittelbar mit der Schiene verbindbar ist.The invention has for its object to design the support of the suspension device so that secure contact of the contact rail is ensured with the support frame, the support frame or its rod can be connected directly to the rail.

Die Lösung der Aufgabe besteht erfindungsgemäß darin, daß an der Innenseite dieses schraubendurchsetzten Schenkels des Trägers eine längliche Druckplatte parallel zu dem Schenkel gelagert ist, die mit ihrem einen Ende gegenüber dem Träger seitlich vorsteht und mittels der in dem Schenkel geführten, gegen die Druckplatte anziehbaren Schraube gegen die an der Kontaktschiene anliegende Stange des Traggestelles verschiebbar ist. Mittels der die Stange des Traggestelles überlagernden Druckplatte wird die Stange des Traggestelles unmittelbar an die Kontaktschiene über die Länge, mit der die Stange an der Kontaktschiene anliegt, fest angedrückt und dadurch ein guter Kontakt der Kontaktschiene mit der Stange erzielt. Die Stange braucht dabei nicht bearbeitet zu sein.The object of the invention is that an elongated pressure plate is mounted parallel to the leg on the inside of this screw-through leg of the carrier, which protrudes laterally with one end relative to the carrier and by means of the screw guided in the leg and tightenable against the pressure plate is displaceable against the rod of the supporting frame resting on the contact rail. By means of the pressure plate overlying the rod of the support frame, the rod of the support frame is firmly pressed directly onto the contact rail over the length with which the rod rests on the contact rail, and good contact of the contact rail with the rod is thereby achieved. The rod does not have to be machined.

Eine vorteilhafte Weiterbildung der Erfindung besteht darin, daß

  • a) die Druckplatte mit ihrem einen Ende auf dem Schaft einer in dem der Druckplatte benachbarten Schenkel des Trägers geführten Schraube lose gehaltert ist,
  • b) die Druckplatte nahe ihres anderen, gegenüber dem Träger vorstehenden Endes von einer mit der Druckplatte verschraubten Schraube gehalten ist, die den der Druckplatte benachbarten Schenkel des Trägers mit Spiel durchsetzt und auf deren Schaft eine Schraubenfeder aufgeschoben ist, die mit ihrem einen Ende an dem Kopf der Schraube und mit ihrem anderen Ende an dem Schenkel abgestützt ist.
An advantageous development of the invention is that
  • a) the pressure plate is loosely held at one end on the shaft of a screw guided in the leg of the carrier adjacent to the pressure plate,
  • b) the pressure plate is held near its other end opposite the support by a screw screwed to the pressure plate, which passes through the leg of the support adjacent to the pressure plate with play and on whose shaft a coil spring is slid, which has one end on the Head of the screw and with its other end is supported on the leg.

Nach Lösen der gegen die Druckplatte angezogenen Schraube entspannt sich die zuvor gespannte, die eine Schraube belastende Schraubenfeder, wodurch die Druckplatte einseitig angezogen wird. Hierdurch ist das Verbringen der Stange des Traggestelles zwischen Kontaktschiene und Druckplatte erleichtert.After loosening the screw tightened against the pressure plate, the previously tensioned coil spring, which loads one screw, relaxes, whereby the pressure plate is tightened on one side. This makes it easier to move the rod of the support frame between the contact rail and the pressure plate.

Die Erfindung ist nachstehend in einem Ausführungsbeispiel anhand der Zeichnung näher erläutert. Es zeigt:

  • Figur 1 die Aufhängevorrichtung in Seitenansicht und
  • Figur 2 einen Schnitt nach der Linie 11-11 der Figur 1.
The invention is explained in more detail below in an exemplary embodiment with reference to the drawing. It shows:
  • Figure 1 shows the suspension device in side view
  • 2 shows a section along the line 11-11 of Figure 1.

Der Träger 1 ist auf eine Kontaktschiene 4 so aufgeschoben, daß er mit seinem Schenkel 2 an der Rückseite der Kontaktschiene 4 anliegt. Er ist ferner an der Kontaktschiene 4 mittels eines U-förmigen Bügels 5 gehaltert, der die Kontaktschiene 4 untergreift und mit seinem einen Schenkel außen an dem Schenkel 2 des Trägers 1 mittels einer Schraube 6 befestigt ist. Der Träger 1 ist ferner mit der Kontaktschiene 4 durch eine Schraube 7 festlegbar, die in dem Schenkel 3 des Trägers 1 geführt und gegen die Kontaktschiene 4 anziehbar ist. Mit 8 ist eine in dem Träger 1 angeordnete längliche metallene Druckplatte bezeichnet, die von der Schraube 7 mit Spiel durchsetzt ist. Die Druckplatte 8 ist in dem Träger 1 so angeordnet, daß sie mit dessen Schenkeln 2, 3 in Parallelität steht, wobei sie dem Schenkel 3 angenähert ist. Sie steht ferner mit ihrem einen Ende gegenüber dem Träger 1 seitlich vor. Mit 9 ist eine Schraube bezeichnet, die in dem Schenkel 3 des Trägers 1 geführt und gegen die Druckplatte 8 anziehbar ist. Auf das gegenüber dem Schenkel 3 des Trägers 1 vorstehende Ende der Schraube 9 ist ein Handhebel 10 zum Betätigen der Schraube 9 aufgesetzt. Die Druckplatte 8 ist nahe ihres gegenüber dem Träger 1 vorstehenden Endes mit einer unter der Druckwirkung einer Schraubenfeder 11 stehenden Schraube 12 verschraubt, die den Schenkel 3 des Trägers 1 mit Spiel durchsetzt. Die Schraubenfeder 11 ist mit ihrem einen Ende an dem Kopf der Schraube 12 und mit ihrem anderen Ende in einer Ausnehmung 13 des Schenkels 3 des Trägers 1 an dem Schenkel 3 abgestützt. Die Druckplatte 8 ist ferner mit ihrem anderen Ende lose auf dem Schaft einer in dem Schenkel 3 des Trägers 1 geführten Schraube 14 gehaltert, an derem Kopf sie anliegt. Mit 15 ist die in der Zeichnung gestrichelt dargestellte Stange des Traggestelles bezeichnet, die an ihrem oberen Ende eine Abwinklung aufweist, mit der sie an der Kontaktschiene 4 aufgehängt wird. Die Stange 15 wird mittels der Druckplatte 8 an die Kontaktschiene 4 angedrückt. Hierbei wird durch Anziehen der Schraube 9 mittels des Handhebels 10 die Schraubenfeder gespannt, die sich nach Lösen der Schraube 9 wieder entspannt und dabei die Druckplatte 8 einseitig anhebt.1 with the cross-sectionally U-shaped support of a support frame (not shown in the drawing) of an electroplating system and 2, 3 denote its legs. The carrier 1 is pushed onto a contact rail 4 so that it rests with its leg 2 on the back of the contact rail 4. It is also held on the contact rail 4 by means of a U-shaped bracket 5 which engages under the contact rail 4 and is fastened with one leg on the outside to the leg 2 of the carrier 1 by means of a screw 6. The carrier 1 can also be fixed to the contact rail 4 by a screw 7 which is guided in the leg 3 of the carrier 1 and can be tightened against the contact rail 4. With 8 an elongated metal pressure plate is arranged in the carrier 1, which is penetrated by the screw 7 with play. The pressure plate 8 is arranged in the carrier 1 so that it is in parallel with its legs 2, 3, being approximated to the leg 3. It also projects laterally with one end relative to the carrier 1. 9 with a screw is designated, which is guided in the leg 3 of the carrier 1 and can be tightened against the pressure plate 8. A hand lever 10 for actuating the screw 9 is placed on the end of the screw 9 protruding from the leg 3 of the carrier 1. The pressure plate 8 is screwed near its end protruding relative to the carrier 1 with a screw 12 which is under the pressure effect of a helical spring 11 and which passes through the leg 3 of the carrier 1 with play. The helical spring 11 is supported at one end on the head of the screw 12 and at the other end in a recess 13 of the leg 3 of the carrier 1 on the leg 3. The pressure plate 8 is also loosely held at its other end on the shaft of a screw 14 guided in the leg 3 of the carrier 1, on the head of which it rests. With 15 the rod of the support frame shown in dashed lines is designated, which has at its upper end an angle with which it is suspended on the contact rail 4. The rod 15 is pressed onto the contact rail 4 by means of the pressure plate 8. Here, by tightening the screw 9 by means of the hand lever 10, the coil spring is tensioned, which relaxes again after loosening the screw 9 and thereby raises the pressure plate 8 on one side.

Die Erfindung beschränkt sich in ihrer Anwendung selbstverständlich nicht auf Traggestelle, sondern kann auch in gleicher Weise zum Aufhängen einer für den Niederschlag erforderlichen Metallplatte oder -stange verwendet werden.The invention is limited in its Application of course not on supporting frames, but can also be used in the same way for hanging up a metal plate or rod required for precipitation.
