Abstract

1. A device for securing articles to a perforated plate (1), comprising a member (3) which is substantially L-shaped in side elevation and is provided with an eye, clip, hook (6) or the like on that flange which is substantially at right angles to the perforated plate (1) whereas the other flange (8), which is parallel to the perforated plate (1), is adapted to be adjusted in position relative to the perforated plate (1) by being slidable relative to the latter and is adapted to be locked in any of a plurality of stepped positions by means of a plug-in plate (4), which is provided with plugs (9), characterized in that that flange (8) of the L-shaped member (3) which is parallel to the perforated plate (1) has in a top plan view the shape of a frame, which in both bars (10) that extend in the direction of the sliding movement are provided each with a series of teeth on that side which is opposite to the perforated plate (1), and each of said series of teeth is interengageable with at least one tooth of series of teeth (13) provided on the underside of the plug-in plate (4) on both sides thereof when said plug-in plate has been plugged in position.

Description

The invention relates to a device for attaching objects to a perforated plate according to the preamble of claim 1. Such a device is already known from DE-OS 31 51 964. With this known device, objects of different sizes can be attached to a perforated plate relatively securely and firmly detachably. However, it can be criticized that the L-shaped part is relatively weak and is therefore only insufficiently suitable for production from plastic by injection molding. The L-shaped bracket can be bent from spring steel wire with sufficient strength, in particular with sufficient bending resistance, but such a part is relatively expensive. It is also cumbersome that a separate steel bending device for the manufacture of the bracket in addition to the usual manufacture of the up insert in the injection molding process is required. At _H of the L-bracket creation by injection molding of Kusntstoff a greater thickness would be required, the whole attachment device would thereby take but too much space, especially in the limited available height, also the fine adjustment would be too small, because the smallest adjustment of the thickness of Corresponds to bracket part.

The invention is therefore based on the object of designing a device according to the preamble in such a way that the L-shaped part also has sufficient strength and stability when produced by injection molding from plastic and can nevertheless be produced in a small, in particular low, form.

The solution to this problem is specified in the characterizing part of claim 1. According to the invention, the horizontal leg of the L-part is thus designed in the form of a frame which has a row of teeth on its arms pointing in the longitudinal direction, into which corresponding teeth, which are provided on the side of the mounting plate, engage. The recesses (tooth gaps or notches) of the slip-on plate do not need to take up the entire thickness of the bracket part, rather a tooth engagement is provided, the teeth can be made relatively fine, so that, as desired, the overall height is saved (flat design) and a fine adjustment is achieved .

A particularly flat design is achieved by lowering the row of teeth on the arms of the horizontal L-leg, each on the inside. As a result, the slip-on plate can be completely sunk into the frame of the horizontal L-leg, so it no longer stands above this frame part, which - as desired - achieves a particularly flat design.

Advantageously, only a single plug is attached to the center of the slip-on plate. The Aufsteckplättchen and thus the entire device can be attached to any hole in the perforated plate in any angular position (claim 3).

The plug is expediently divided into two half shells by an axial slot and can thus be locked in the respective hole of the perforated plate by a pin which can be inserted from above.

In order to explain the invention in more detail, an exemplary embodiment is described below with reference to the drawing:

• Fig. 1 shows - for an overview - a plan view of a section of a perforated plate on which a camera is readably attached by means of two devices according to the invention and an elastic cord ring stretched between them.
• FIG. 2 shows a device according to the invention in longitudinal section along section line II-II in FIG. 1.
• 3 shows a view according to arrow III in FIG. 2.
• Fig. 4 shows a section along line IV-IV in Fig. 2nd
• Fig. 5 shows the slip plate in side view.
• Fig. 6 shows the slip plate in a view from below.

1 as an overview drawing, a camera 2 is attached to a perforated plate 1. (In the same way, any other objects of photographic equipment can be fixed on the perforated plate.) Two devices according to the invention, each consisting of an L-part 3 and a plug-on plate 4, are used to fix the camera (or any other object) on the perforated plate Perforated plate vertical leg 5 of the L-part 3 has at its upper end a hook 6, in which a cord 7 or the like traction means is suspended, which overlaps the camera and thus holds.

The horizontal leg 8 bears against the perforated plate 1 and is displaceable thereon and fixed in the respective displacement position by a slip-on plate 4 clampable. For this purpose, the plug-on plate 4 has a plug pin 9 which engages in a hole 1a of the perforated plate.

According to the invention, the horizontal leg 8 of the L-part 3 is designed in the form of a frame, in which the slip plate 4 engages. The two arms 10 of the frame-shaped horizontal leg 8 of the L-part 3, which extend in the direction of displacement, each have a row of teeth 11 on their inside. These two rows of teeth 11 are lowered relative to the top 12. Two corresponding rows of teeth 13 are formed laterally on the mounting plate 4. The slip plate 4 is shorter than the frame part. In the pinned position, the mounting plate 4 does not protrude beyond the frame. This recessed arrangement gives a particularly flat design.

The vertical leg 5 has a recess 19 at the bottom into which the push-on plate 4 can be inserted (in part), as a result of which the displacement distance is increased.

The plug pin 9 is divided into two halves by a slot 18 and is provided with a thickening 16 at its end via two conical bevels 14, 15. The plug pin 9 can thus be inserted into each hole 1a be inserted, in the inserted position, the rear bevel 14 engages behind a corresponding shoulder on the underside of the hole la. By means of a pin 17 inserted between the two halves (or half-shells) of the plug pin, the plug pin 9 can be locked in the respective hole 1 a.

The push-on plate 4 has indentations 17a, so that the head 17b of the pin 17 can be gripped with the fingers to pull it out.
