Description

Die Erfindung betrifft einen Notenhalter gemäß Oberbegriff von Anspruch 1.The invention relates to a music holder according to the preamble of claim 1.

In der US-PS 2 481 264 ist ein Notenhalter mit einem mehrere Klappteile aufweisenden Pult beschrieben. Insbesondere sind zwei Lehnenteile und zwei an diesen gelenkig gelagerte Auflageteile als Klappteile ausgebildet. Die Gelenke zwischen diesen Klappteilen sind hierbei jedoch konventionell ausgeführt, beispielsweise als Scharnierbänder, woraus ein komplizierter Aufbau resultiert, zumindest, wenn bestimmte Mindestanforderungen an Haltbarkeit und Stabilität gestellt werden.US Pat. No. 2,481,264 describes a music holder with a desk having a plurality of folding parts. In particular, two backrest parts and two support parts articulated on them are designed as folding parts. However, the joints between these folding parts are designed conventionally, for example as hinge straps, which results in a complicated structure, at least if certain minimum requirements regarding durability and stability are made.

Der Erfindung liegt daher die Aufgabe zugrunde, den Aufbau eines zusammenklappbaren Notenhalters zu vereinfachen, ohne seine Stabilität und Betriebssicherheit zu beeinträchtigen; insbesondere soll die Vorderseite der Notenlehne als steife, ebene und geschlossene Fläche ausgebildet sein, so daß sie als Schreibunterlage für daraufliegende dünne Notenblätter dienen kann. Die Lösung dieser Aufgabe besteht in den im Anspruch 1 angegebenen Merkmalen.The invention is therefore based on the object of simplifying the construction of a collapsible music holder without impairing its stability and operational reliability; in particular, the front of the music rest should be designed as a stiff, flat and closed surface, so that it can serve as a writing pad for thin music sheets lying thereon. The solution to this problem consists in the features specified in claim 1.

Gemäß der Erfindung bilden die Klappteile und Scharnierbänder zwischen ihnen ein einstückiges Kunststoffteil. Das hat den Vorteil, daß sich das gesamte Pult mit Hilfe einer entsprechenden Form in einem einzigen Gieß- oder Spritzvorgang herstellen läßt: Die Form braucht lediglich im Bereich jedes Scharnierbandes auf einer Seite - der späteren Rückseite des Pultes - einen Vorsprung z. B. in Form einer V-förmigen Rippe aufzuweisen. Das unter dieser Rippe zwischen den Klappteilen liegende Material kann dann wegen seines reduzierten Querschnitts als Scharnierband wirken. Die Form ist so ausgelegt, daß die eigensteifen Klappteile und Scharnierbänder in der Betriebslage eine ebene Fläche bilden, die als Schreibunterlage dienen kann.According to the invention, the folding parts and hinge straps form an integral plastic part between them. This has the advantage that the entire desk can be produced with the help of an appropriate mold in a single casting or injection process: the mold only needs a projection in the area of each hinge band on one side - the later rear of the desk - z. B. in the form of a V-shaped rib. The material lying under this rib between the folding parts can then act as a hinge band due to its reduced cross section. The shape is designed so that the inherently rigid folding parts and hinge straps form a flat surface in the operating position, which can serve as a writing pad.

Im Rahmen der Erfindung kann die Lehne des Pultes aus zwei oder mehr, als Klappteile ausgebildeten Lehnenteilen bestehen.In the context of the invention, the backrest of the desk can consist of two or more backrest parts designed as folding parts.

Die Betriebslage der Klappteile ist durch einen Träger bestimmt und durch Arretiermittel gesichert. Dieser Träger ist an der Rückseite der Lehne angeordnet und mit ihr lösbar verbunden. Er hat eine geradlinige, die Rückseite der Lehne tragende Stützfläche, die der Lehne zusätzlich Stabilität gibt.The operating position of the folding parts is determined by a carrier and secured by locking means. This carrier is arranged on the back of the backrest and releasably connected to it. It has a rectilinear support surface that supports the back of the backrest, which gives the backrest additional stability.

Der Träger hat einen etwa rechtwinklig von seiner Stützfläche abstehenden Auflageträger für den Auflageteil; Träger und Auflageträger können dabei einstückig ausgebildet oder gelenkig miteinander verbunden sein.The carrier has a support beam for the support part which projects approximately at right angles from its support surface; Beam and support beam can be integrally formed or articulated together.

Ein Ausführungsbeispiel der Erfindung wird anhand der Figuren näher erläutert; es zeigen:

  • FIG 1 eine Seitenansicht eines Pultes in Betriebslage,
  • FIG 2 eine Rückansicht der Lehne nach FIG 1 vor dem "Zusammenfalten" und
  • FIG 3 einen vergrößerten Teilschnitt entlang Linie 111-111 in FIG 2.
An embodiment of the invention is explained in more detail with reference to the figures; show it:
  • 1 shows a side view of a desk in the operating position,
  • 2 shows a rear view of the backrest according to FIG. 1 before "folding" and
  • 3 shows an enlarged partial section along line 111-111 in FIG.

Bei der Beschreibung wird auf die Begriffsliste Bezug genommen.In the description, reference is made to the list of terms.

Die Notenlehne 1 hat zwei Lehnenteile 105, 106 und ein Auflageteil 2, die durch Scharnierbänder 12 bzw. 12' zusammenhängen und ein einstückiges Kunststoffteil bilden. Diese Scharnierbänder 12, 12' verlaufen rechtwinklig zueinander und liegen zwischen dem Nutboden 121 von V-förmigen Nuten 120 auf der Rückseite 11 einerseits und der Vorderseite 10 andererseits, die auf diese Weise eine ebene und durchgehend homogene Fläche bildet (FIG 3).The music rest 1 has two backrest parts 105, 106 and a support part 2, which are connected by hinge straps 12 and 12 'and form an integral plastic part. These hinge straps 12, 12 'run at right angles to one another and lie between the groove bottom 121 of V-shaped grooves 120 on the back 11 on the one hand and the front 10 on the other, which in this way forms a flat and completely homogeneous surface (FIG. 3).

Zum Transport ist die in FIG 2 dargestellte Platte vorzugsweise um das Scharnierband 12 gefaltet, so daß die Lehnenteile 105, 106 aufeinanderliegen.For transport, the plate shown in FIG. 2 is preferably folded around the hinge strap 12 so that the backrest parts 105, 106 lie one on top of the other.

Zur Aufstellung des Pultes ausgehend von der Lage in FIG 2 braucht lediglich der Auflageteil 2 aus der Ebene der Lehne 1 herausgeschwenkt zu werden, wie dies FIG 1 zeigt: Das Scharnierband 12' erzwingt dabei zugleich eine gerade Ausrichtung der beiden Lehnenteile 105 und 106, so daß diese in einer Ebene liegend es genügt daher, sie nur in der Mitte durch einen Träger 3 abzustützen. Dieser Träger greift mit zwei Verbindungsstiften 34 in zwei zugeordnete Aussparungen 14 (FIG 2) auf der Rückseite 11 der Lehne 1. Andererseits ruht der Auflageteil 2 auf einem Auflageträger 32, der über ein Gelenk 320 mit dem Träger 3 verbunden ist, und der mit einer Rastnase 321 in eine Aussparung mit Rastkante 230 an der Unterseite des Auflageteiles 2 eingreift.To set up the desk starting from the position in FIG. 2, only the support part 2 needs to be pivoted out of the plane of the backrest 1, as shown in FIG. 1: the hinge band 12 'at the same time forces a straight alignment of the two backrest parts 105 and 106, see above that it lies in one plane, it is therefore sufficient to support it only in the middle by a carrier 3. This support engages with two connecting pins 34 in two associated recesses 14 (FIG 2) on the back 11 of the backrest 1. On the other hand, the support part 2 rests on a support support 32, which is connected to the support 3 via a joint 320, and which with one Locking lug 321 engages in a recess with locking edge 230 on the underside of the support part 2.

Da der Auflageteil 2 in die natürliche, in FIG 2 gezeigte Lage zu federn sucht, verhaken sich Auflageteil 2 und Auflageträger 32 und wirken so als Arretiermittel, die das Pult in seiner in FIG 1 dargestellten Betriebslage sichern.Since the support part 2 tries to spring into the natural position shown in FIG. 2, the support part 2 and support support 32 become caught and thus act as locking means that secure the desk in its operating position shown in FIG. 1.

Zum Abbauen des Pultes ist der Auflageteil 2 etwas nach oben zu drücken: Dann löst sich der Auflageträger 32 aus der Aussparung mit Rastkante 230, so daß die Lehne 1 mit Auflageteil von dem Träger 3 abnehmbar und zusammenklappbar ist.To dismantle the desk, the support part 2 has to be pushed up a little: Then the support support 32 is released from the recess with the locking edge 230, so that the backrest 1 with the support part can be removed from the support 3 and folded.

Bei dem beschriebenen Ausführungsbeispiel ist ein Träger 3 zugrundegelegt, der ein mittig angeordnetes Scharnierband 12 übergreift und jeweils zu beiden Seiten davon mit dem Pult gekuppelt ist. Es ist jedoch abweichend davon auch möglich, jeweils nur mit einer Kupplungsstelle im Bereich der Lehne und im Bereich des Auflageteiles auszukommen und diese Kupplungsstellen in den Bereich des Scharnierbandes 12 zu legen.In the exemplary embodiment described, a carrier 3 is used, which engages over a centrally arranged hinge band 12 and is coupled to the desk on both sides thereof. However, in deviation from this, it is also possible to get by with only one coupling point in the area of the backrest and in the area of the support part and to place these coupling points in the area of the hinge band 12.
