Description

Die Erfindung betrifft eine Befestigungsvorrichtung für einen Geräteeinsatz in einer Grundplatte, insbesondere für Spülen u. dgl. in einer Küchenarbeitsplatte, bestehend aus einem Grundkörper, der mit einem Vorsprung in den Geräteeinsatz einrastbar, mit gegenüberliegenden Zungen und einem Spannelement versehen ist, ferner aus einem laschenartigen Element mit Greifkrallen, das mittels des Spannelementes mit der Grundplatte verbindbar ist.The invention relates to a fastening device for a device insert in a base plate, in particular for rinsing and. Like. In a kitchen worktop, consisting of a base body, which can be snapped into the device insert with a projection, is provided with opposing tongues and a clamping element, furthermore from a tab-like element with gripping claws, which can be connected to the base plate by means of the clamping element.

Derartige Geräteeinsätze bestehen aus Spülen, Abtropfbecken, Herdplatteneinsätzen u. dgl., die mittels der Befestigungsvorrichtung dauerhaft aber ggf. lösbar mit der Grundplatte aus Holz, Kunststoff oder ähnlichen Werkstoffen verspannt werden.Such inserts consist of sinks, drains, hob inserts and. Like., which are permanently but optionally releasably braced with the base plate made of wood, plastic or similar materials by means of the fastening device.

Die Befestigungsvorrichtung wird jeweils in mehreren Stücken um den Umfang des Geräteeinsatzes verteilt angeordnet, und es bedarf daher großer Stückzahlen. Die Einzelteile stellen somit Massenartikel dar, die einfach, billig und robust herzustellen sind.The fastening device is in each case arranged in several pieces around the circumference of the device insert, and large quantities are therefore required. The individual parts are thus mass-produced items that are simple, cheap and robust to manufacture.

Die eingangs bezeichnete Befestigungsvorrichtung ist aus der DE-PS 29 38 135 bekannt. Weitere derartige Befestigungsvorrichtungen sind in den DE-PSen 27 56 972 und 28 18 866 beschrieben. Aus diesem Stand der Technik ist ein Grundkörper mit einem scharnierartig angesetzten Befestigungselementträger bekannt, wobei der Befestigungselementträger gleichzeitg das laschenartige Element mit den Greifkrallen aufnimmt. Obgleich diese Befestigungsvorrichtungen alle Forderungen der Praxis erfüllen, hat sich gezeigt, daß auch zufriedenstellende Befestigungsvorrichtungen noch weiterzuentwickeln sind, nämlich dann, wenn bislang unberücksichtigte Eigenschaften erfüllt werden sollen.The fastening device described above is known from DE-PS 29 38 135. Further such fastening devices are described in DE-PSs 27 56 972 and 28 18 866. From this prior art, a base body with a hinge-like fastener carrier is known, the fastener carrier simultaneously receiving the tab-like element with the gripping claws. Although these fastening devices meet all practical requirements, it has been shown that satisfactory fastening devices also have to be developed further, namely when properties which have not been considered so far are to be fulfilled.

Die Erfindung hat sich zum Ziel gesetzt, die bekannten Befestigungsvorrichtungen hinsichtlich der Positionierung der laschenartigen Elemente, die die Greifkrallen aufweisen, am Umfang der Geräteeinsätze vor und während der Montage zu erleichtern.The invention has set itself the goal of facilitating the known fastening devices with regard to the positioning of the tab-like elements, which have the gripping claws, on the circumference of the device inserts before and during assembly.

Die gestellte Aufgabe wird dadurch gelöst, daß an dem Grundkörper in dem Bereich des Spannelementes zumindest ein elastischer Fortsatz vorgesehen ist, daß das freie Ende des Fortsatzes sich jeweils in Anlage am laschenartigen Element mit den Greifkrallen befindet und daß der Fortsatz jeweils das laschenartige Element am Spannelement außerhalb der Spannposition festhält. Alleine beim Zusammenbau der Einzelteile kann aufgrund des Erfindungsgedankens jede einzelne Befestigungsvorrichtung auf eine einheitliche Position eingestellt werden, wobei der elastische Fortsatz und das Spannelement, z. B. eine Schraube, diesen Abstand des laschenartigen Elementes zum Grundkörper in den gewünschten Grenzen hält. Die Erfindung ermöglicht somit eine Arbeitserleichterung bei der Montage. Für den Fall, daß die Befestigung aber auch wieder einmal gelöst werden soll, unterstützt der elastische Fortsatz das Abheben des laschenartigen Elementes von der Grundplatte und nimmt bei entsprechender Lage des Spannelementes wieder die Montageposition ein.The object is achieved in that at least one elastic extension is provided on the base body in the region of the clamping element, that the free end of the extension is in contact with the tab-like element with the gripping claws and that the extension has the tab-like element on the clamping element holds out of the clamping position. Alone when assembling the individual parts, each individual fastening device can be set to a uniform position due to the inventive concept, the elastic extension and the tensioning element, for. B. a screw, this distance of the tab-like element to the base body within the desired limits. The invention thus makes work easier during assembly. In the event that the attachment is also to be loosened again, the elastic extension supports the lifting of the tab-like element from the base plate and assumes the mounting position again when the tensioning element is in the appropriate position.

Die Federkraft des elastischen Fortsatzes kann je nach dem verwendeten Werkstoff auf unterschiedliche Art erzeugt werden. Bei Kunststoffen ist es vorteilhaft, daß der Grundkörper und der elastische Fortsatz einstückig hergestellt sind, wobei der Fortsatz während der Herstellung einen gestreckten Streifen bildet oder in Bogenform herstellbar ist.The spring force of the elastic extension can be generated in different ways depending on the material used. In the case of plastics, it is advantageous for the base body and the elastic extension to be produced in one piece, the extension forming an elongated strip during manufacture or being able to be produced in an arc shape.

Noch größere Federkräfte werden ermöglicht, indem der elastische Fortsatz vorspannbar ist.Even greater spring forces are made possible by prestressing the elastic extension.

Die Erfindung ermöglicht sodann die Anwendung unterschiedlicher laschenartiger Elemente. Hierzu ist vorgesehen, daß zumindest zwei Fortsätze symmetrisch zum Spannelement verlaufend angeordnet sind. Bewegungen des Spannelemente erfolgen daher unter Anwendung parallel zum Spannelement gerichteter Kräfte am laschenartigen Element.The invention then enables the use of different tab-like elements. For this purpose, it is provided that at least two extensions are arranged symmetrically to the tensioning element. Movements of the tensioning elements therefore take place using forces directed parallel to the tensioning element on the tab-like element.

Der Anwendungsbereich der Erfindung wird außerdem dadurch erheblich erweitert, indem das laschenartige Element mittels eines Schlitzes am Spannelement und mittels zumindest eines Stegs am Grundkörper geführt und zum Grundkörper bzw. zum Spannelement quer einstellbar ist.The scope of the invention is also considerably expanded by the tab-like element being guided by means of a slot on the tensioning element and by means of at least one web on the base body and being transversely adjustable to the base body or to the tensioning element.

Die Positionierung des laschenartigen Elementes an der Grundplatte wird ferner dadurch erleichtert, daß das laschenartige Element Im Bereich des Schlitzes zumindest eine Stufe bildet.The positioning of the tab-like element on the base plate is further facilitated in that the tab-like element forms at least one step in the area of the slot.

Die Verbindung des elastischen Fortsatzes mit dem Spannelement und dem laschenartigen Element, das die Greifkrallen trägt, wird auf einfache Weise dadurch geschaffen, daß der Fortsatz am . freien Ende mit einer durchgehenden Öffnung für das Spannelement versehen ist.The connection of the elastic extension with the tensioning element and the tab-like element that carries the gripping claws is created in a simple manner in that the extension on. free end is provided with a continuous opening for the clamping element.

Bei der Montage wirkt oft auch noch die Handhabung der laschenartigen Elemente zeitsparend und arbeitserleichternd. Zur Verbesserung der Erfindung in dieser Richtung wird vorgeschlagen, daß der Fortsatz zumindest eine Anschlagsfläche für das in etwa horizontaler Ebene schwenkbare laschenartige Element aufweist. Diese Anschlagsfläche gestattet, sämtliche laschenartigen Elemente in die für die Montage günstige Richtung gleichzeitig einzustellen.During assembly, the handling of the tab-like elements often also saves time and makes work easier. To improve the invention in this direction, it is proposed that the extension has at least one stop surface for the tab-like element which can be pivoted in the approximately horizontal plane. This stop surface allows all tab-like elements to be adjusted simultaneously in the direction favorable for assembly.

Eine weitere Erleichterung der Montage- oder Demontagearbeiten in oft engen Ringspalten zwischen dem Ringsteg des Geräteeinsatzes und den Ausschnitt in der Grundplatte wird außerdem erzielt, indem der Fortsatz im wesentlichen innerhalb der Dicken- oder der Breiten-Erstreckung des Grundkörpers angeordnet ist.A further simplification of the assembly or disassembly work in often narrow annular gaps between the ring web of the device insert and the cutout in the base plate is also achieved by the extension being arranged essentially within the thickness or width extension of the base body.

Eine sehr raumsparende, kompakte und leicht zu handhabende Befestigungsvorrichtung wird insbesondere auch dadurch geschaffen, daß der Fortsatz mit seinem freien Ende zwischen parallelbeabstandeten Abschnitten des laschenartigen Elementes liegt, wobei das Spannelement sowohl das laschenartige Element als auch das freie Ende des Fortsatzes durchdringt.A very space-saving, compact and easy-to-use fastening device is also created in particular in that the extension with its free end between parallel spaced sections of the tab-like element, wherein the tensioning element penetrates both the tab-like element and the free end of the extension.

Schließlich besteht eine ergänzende Verbesserung der Erfindung darin, daß das laschenartige Element mit mehreren, jeweils Greifkrallen aufweisende, sich nach mehreren Richtungen in einer Ebene erstreckenden Hebelarmen versehen ist. .Finally, a supplementary improvement of the invention is that the tab-like element is provided with a plurality of lever arms, each having gripping claws and extending in several directions in one plane. .

Die Befestigungsvorrichtung weist einen Grundkörper 1 und ein Spannelement 2 in Form einer Kopfschraube auf. Das laschenartige Element 3 wird in dem gezeichneten Montagezustand mittels des elastischen Fortsatzes 4 in einem veränderbaren Abstand 5 zum Grundkörper 1 gehalten. Der elastische Fortsatz 4 ist Bestandteil des aus Polyamid gefertigten Grundkörpers 1 und bildet den bei Herstellung gestreckten Streifen 4a, der wie gezeichnet (Fig. 1 und 5) nach Montage bogenförmig verläuft. Die Bogenform 4b kann dazu dienen, die Federkraft im Fortsatz 4 zu erzeugen bzw: zu steigern. Der elastische Fortsatz 4 ist an seinen freien Ende 4c (Fig. 5) mit einer durchgehenden öffnung 4d für das Spannelement 2 versehen. Das freie Ende 4c des Fortsatzes 4 bildet durch den rechteckigen Umriß am Ende 4c gleichzeitig eine Anschlagsfläche 4e für das in Einbaustellung in horizontaler Ebene schwenkbare laschenartige Element 3.The fastening device has a base body 1 and a clamping element 2 in the form of a cap screw. The tab-like element 3 is held in the drawn assembly state by means of the elastic extension 4 at a variable distance 5 from the base body 1. The elastic extension 4 is part of the base body 1 made of polyamide and forms the strip 4a which is stretched during manufacture and which, as shown (FIGS. 1 and 5), runs in an arc shape after assembly. The arch shape 4b can serve to generate or increase the spring force in the extension 4. The elastic extension 4 is at its free end 4c (Fig. 5) with a through opening 4d for the clamping element 2. Due to the rectangular outline at the end 4c, the free end 4c of the extension 4 simultaneously forms a stop surface 4e for the tab-like element 3 which can be pivoted in the horizontal plane in the installed position.

Die Wirkungen der beiden dargestellten Ausführungsbeispiele gemäß den Fig. 1 bis 3 einerseits und den Fig. 4 und 5 andererseits sind teil übereinstimmend, teils unterschiedlich.The effects of the two illustrated exemplary embodiments according to FIGS. 1 to 3 on the one hand and FIGS. 4 and 5 on the other hand are partly the same, partly different.

Gemäß Fig. 1 ist das laschenartige Element 3 mit den Greifkrallen 6 mittels zweier Fortsätze4a(Fig. 2 und 3) im Bereich des Spannelementes 2 symmetrisch gehalten, so daß die bestehende Federkraft das laschenartige Element 3 stets gegen den Kopf 2a des Spannelements 2 drückt. Damit ist die Befestigungsvorrichtung in "Offenstellung" fixiert. Das laschenartige Element 3 weist zusätz~ lich den Schlitz 7 auf und ist außerdem mit zwei Stegen 8 versehen (Fig. 2 und 3), wobei die Stege,am Grundkörper 1 jeweils mit Vorsprüngen 8a in Nuten 9 in Längsrichtung des Grundkörpers 1 geführt sind. Zum Einbauen werden alle laschenartigen Elemente 3 ferner in eine höhere Stufe eingestellt, wodurch sich eine Fixierung der laschenartigen Elemente in der "Offenstellung" ergibt, wobei jedoch gleichzeitig eine vorbereitete Einbaustellung erreicht wird. Die laschenartigen Elemente 3 gleiten hierbei in der Nute 9 und im Schlitz 7 in der gewünschten Richtung. Die ausgeschwenkte Stellung des laschenartigen Elementes 3 Ist in Fig. 1 strichpunktiert dargestellt.1, the tab-like element 3 with the gripping claws 6 is held symmetrically in the region of the clamping element 2 by means of two extensions 4a (FIGS. 2 and 3), so that the existing spring force always presses the tab-like element 3 against the head 2a of the clamping element 2. The fastening device is thus fixed in the "open position". The tab-like element 3 additionally has the slot 7 and is also provided with two webs 8 (FIGS. 2 and 3), the webs being guided on the base body 1 with projections 8a in grooves 9 in the longitudinal direction of the base body 1. For installation, all tab-like elements 3 are also set to a higher level, which results in the tab-like elements being fixed in the "open position", but at the same time a prepared installation position is achieved. The tab-like elements 3 slide in the groove 9 and in the slot 7 in the desired direction. The pivoted-out position of the tab-like element 3 is shown in broken lines in FIG. 1.

Gemäß den Fig. 4 und 5 wird das laschenartige Element 3 mit den Greifkrallen 6 mittels eines einzigen Fortsatzes 4bgehalten. Der elastische Fortsatz 4bist durch den Streifen 4a innerhalb der Dicken-Erstreckung des Grundkörpers 1 angeordnet, so daß sich eine besonders schmale Gesamtbreite der Befestigungsvorrichtung ergibt. Eine gedrungene kompakte Bauweise ergibt sich ebenfalls dadurch, daß das laschenartige Element 3 mit parallel in Abständen befindlichen Abschnitten 3a und 3b ausgeführt ist, die durch U-förmiges Umbiegen zustandekommen, wobei der Abstand der Abschnitte 3a und 3b durch die Dicke des Streifens 4a so bestimmt wird, daß ausreichend Spiel vorhanden ist, um ein Schwenken des laschenartigen Elementes 3 zu gestatten. Zur Montage werden die laschenartigen Elemente kurzerhand in die Erstreckungsrichtung der Streifen 4a geschwenkt, wobei die Schwenkung durch die Anschlagsfläche 4e begrenzt wird. Die Befestigungsvorrichtung nimmt daher einen kleinstmöglichen Raum ein und vermindert auch den Transportraum, indem Zwischenräume weitestgehend vermieden werden.4 and 5, the tab-like element 3 is held with the gripping claws 6 by means of a single extension 4b. The elastic extension 4b is arranged by the strip 4a within the thickness extension of the base body 1, so that there is a particularly narrow overall width of the fastening device. A compact, compact design also results from the fact that the tab-like element 3 is designed with parallel spaced sections 3a and 3b which are formed by U-shaped bending, the spacing of the sections 3a and 3b being determined by the thickness of the strip 4a is that there is enough play to allow pivoting of the tab-like element 3. For assembly, the tab-like elements are quickly pivoted in the direction of extension of the strips 4a, the pivoting being limited by the stop surface 4e. The fastening device therefore takes up the smallest possible space and also reduces the transport space in that gaps are largely avoided.

Beide Ausführungsformen bauen sehr schmal, wobei auch bei mehreren elastischen Fortsätzen 4 (Fig. 2 und 3) die Breiten-Erstreckung ausreicht, um zwei oder mehr Fortsätze unterzubringen.Both embodiments have a very narrow construction, the width extension also being sufficient to accommodate two or more extensions even in the case of a plurality of elastic extensions 4 (FIGS. 2 and 3).

Beide Ausführungsformen können im übrigen auch mit laschenartigen Elementen 3 versehen sein, an denen mehrere Hebelarme 11 unterschiedlicher Länge angeordnet sind, von denen jeweils die passende Länge eingesetzt wird.Both embodiments can also be provided with tab-like elements 3, on which a plurality of lever arms 11 of different lengths are arranged, of which the appropriate length is used in each case.
