Description

Die Erfindung bezieht sich auf einen Bilderhalter gemäß dem Oberbegriff des Anspruches 1. Bilderhalter mit einer in eine Gebrauchsstellung schwenkbaren Stütze sind nützlich zum Zurschaustellen von Bildern, wobei der Bilderhalter auf einer Unterlage, wie einem Tisch, stehen kann. Die Schwenkbarkeit der Stütze ermöglicht bei Nichtaufstellen des Bilderhalters eine platzsparende Aufbewahrungsweise.The invention relates to an image holder according to the preamble of claim 1. Image holders with a support which can be pivoted into a use position are useful for displaying images, the image holder being able to stand on a base, such as a table. The pivoting of the support enables space-saving storage when the picture holder is not set up.

Ein bekannter Bilderhalter der eingangs genannten Art ist in der FR-A-15 28 065 beschrieben. Bei Verwendung dieses Bilderhalters kann es leicht geschehen, daß durch unbeabsichtigtes Gegenstoßen gegen den Bilderhalter dieser durch ein Anklappen der Stütze zu Fall gebracht wird. Oftmals hat dies dann die Zerstörung des Deckglases des Bilderhalters zur Folge.A known picture holder of the type mentioned is described in FR-A-15 28 065. When using this picture holder, it can easily happen that the picture holder is brought down by unintentionally bumping into the picture holder by folding the support. This often leads to the destruction of the cover glass of the picture holder.

Weiterhin ist aus der US-A-33 40 638 ein Bilderhalter bekannt, dessen Stütze einen Haken aufweist, der die Rückwand des Bilderhalters durchsetzt. An dem Haken ist eine Nockenfläche angebracht, die in Gebrauchsstellung an der gegenüberliegenden Vorderwand des Bilderhalters anliegt.Furthermore, an image holder is known from US-A-33 40 638, the support of which has a hook which passes through the rear wall of the image holder. A cam surface is attached to the hook, which in the position of use rests on the opposite front wall of the picture holder.

Es ist Aufgabe der Erfindung, einen Bilderhalter der eingangs genannten Art so auszubilden, daß er sicher aufgestellt werden kann, so daß durch ein unbeabsichtigtes Gegenstoßen gegen den Bilderhalter dieser nicht zu Fall gebracht werden kann.It is an object of the invention to design an image holder of the type mentioned at the outset in such a way that it can be set up securely, so that it cannot be brought down by an unintentional counter-impact against the image holder.

Diese Aufgabe wird erfindungsgemäß durch die kennzeichnenden Merkmale des Anspruches 1 gelöst.This object is achieved by the characterizing features of claim 1.

Diese Lösung hat den Vorteil, daß zum Heranschwenken der Stütze aus der Gebrauchsstellung in die Ruhestellung ein Widerstand zu überwinden ist, der einen erhöhten Kraftaufwand erfordert. Dadurch wird ein Heranklappen der Stütze durch ein unbeabsichtigtes Gegenstoßen gegen den Bilderhalter vermieden, wenn dieser in Gebrauchsstellung auf einem Tisch od. dgl. aufstellt. Desweiteren wird die Stütze aber auch selbsttätig in der an die Rückwand des Bilderhalters angeschwenkten Ruhestellung gehalten, so daß ein Verhaken mehrerer, z.B. in eine Schublade eingeräumter, Bilderhalter mit den Stützen anderer Bilderhalter, vermieden wird.This solution has the advantage that a resistance must be overcome to pivot the support from the use position into the rest position, which requires an increased effort. This prevents the support from being flipped up by an unintentional counter-impact against the picture holder when the picture holder or the like is set up in the use position. Furthermore, the support is also automatically held in the rest position pivoted to the rear wall of the picture holder, so that several, e.g. picture holders in a drawer with the supports of other picture holders is avoided.

Um den konstruktiven Aufwand gering zu halten, kann eine erste Abstützung eine lange Seite des Schlitzes sein.In order to keep the design effort low, a first support can be a long side of the slot.

Es ist vorteilhaft, daß eine zweite Abstützung ein mit Abstand längs zur gegenüberliegenden langen Seite des Schlitzes angeordneter, auf der der Stütze abgewandten Innenseite der Rückwand angebrachter Steg ist. Dadurch wird die Nachgiebigkeit der zweiten Abstützung erhöht.It is advantageous that a second support is a web arranged at a distance along the opposite long side of the slot and on the inside of the rear wall facing away from the support. This increases the resilience of the second support.

Günstig ist es, wenn die von dem freien Ende der Stütze abgewandte Oberseite des Hakens nockenförmig ausgebildet ist und an der ersten Abstützung anliegt. Dadurch kann auf einfache Weise die wirksame Breite des Hakens, gemessen zwischen den beiden Abstützungen, je nach Stellung der Stütze, verändert werden.It is expedient if the upper side of the hook facing away from the free end of the support is cam-shaped and bears against the first support. This allows the effective width of the hook, measured between the two supports, to be changed in a simple manner, depending on the position of the support.

Dadurch, daß die dem freien Ende der Stütze zugewandte Unterseite des Hakens einen die Rückwand hintergreifenden Vorsprung aufweist, der an der zweiten Abstützung anliegt, wird die nockenförmige Oberseite des Hakens gegen die erste Abstützung gedrückt. Der Vorsprung hat weiterhin den Vorteil, daß er ein Herausfallen des Hakens aus dem Schlitz verhindert.Characterized in that the underside of the hook facing the free end of the support has a projection which engages behind the rear wall and which lies against the second support, the cam-shaped upper side of the hook is pressed against the first support. The projection also has the advantage that it prevents the hook from falling out of the slot.

Zur Erhöhung der elastischen Nachgiebigkeit von den Abstützungen und dem Haken ist es vorteilhaft, daß der Haken eine parallel zum Schlitz verlaufende, von der Stütze weggerichtete Nut aufweist.To increase the elastic flexibility of the supports and the hook, it is advantageous that the hook has a groove running parallel to the slot and directed away from the support.

Dadurch, daß die Stütze neben dem Haken mit mindestens einem an der Rückwand des Bildhalters anliegenden Abstandshalter versehen ist, ist ein Anliegen des freien Endes der Stütze an die Rückwand des Bilderhalters in der Ruhestellung auch dann gewährleistet, wenn die Rückwand oder die Stütze verzogen sind, wie es z.B. vorkommen kann, wenn der Bilderhalter aus Kunststoff spritzgegossen ist.The fact that the support next to the hook is provided with at least one spacer resting on the rear wall of the picture holder ensures that the free end of the support is in contact with the rear wall of the picture holder in the rest position even when the back wall or the support are distorted, like it for example can occur when the plastic picture holder is injection molded.

Es ist vorteilhaft, daß die Stütze oberhalb des Hakens einen Anschlag aufweist, durch den die Winkellage der Stütze in der Gebrauchsstellung festgelegt ist.It is advantageous that the support has a stop above the hook, by means of which the angular position of the support is fixed in the use position.

Um eine bessere Führung der Stütze während der Schwenkbewegung sowie eine festere Abstützung zu erreichen, ist es vorteilhaft, daß die Stütze des Bilderhalters mit zwei Haken versehen ist. Dabei ist es günstig, daß die Rückwand des Bilderhalters mit zwei Schlitzen versehen ist, da dadurch die Steifigkeit der Rückwand des Bilderhalters erhöht wird.In order to achieve better guidance of the support during the pivoting movement and to achieve a stronger support, it is advantageous that the support of the picture holder is provided with two hooks. It is advantageous that the back wall of the picture holder is provided with two slots, since this increases the rigidity of the back wall of the picture holder.

Eine einfache Herstellung des Bilderhalters ergibt sich dadurch, daß der Bilderhalter aus Kunststoff spritzgegossen ist.A simple manufacture of the picture holder results from the fact that the picture holder is injection molded from plastic.

Im folgenden wird ein Ausführungsbeispiel der Erfindung anhand von Zeichnungen eingehend erläutert. Es zeigen :

In the following an embodiment of the invention is explained in detail with reference to drawings. Show it :
  • Fig. 1 is an overall perspective view of the image holder.
  • 2 is a perspective view of part of the rear wall of the picture holder and the associated support in the disassembled state,

  • Fig. 4 shows a section as in Fig. 3, wherein the support is in an intermediate position, and
  • Fig. 5 shows a section as in Figs. 3 and 4, wherein the support is in the spread use position.

Wie am besten aus Fig. 1 ersichtlich, umfaßt der Bilderhalter 1 eine Rückwand 2 sowie eine Stütze 3.As can best be seen from FIG. 1, the picture holder 1 comprises a rear wall 2 and a support 3.

In der Rückwand 2 sind in Längsrichtung nebeneinander zwei Schlitze 4 und 5 angeordnet. Unterhalb der Schlitze 4 und 5 verläuft in einigem Abstand ein Steg 6 parallel zu den langen Seiten der Schlitze 4 und 5 (vgl. Fig. 2).In the rear wall 2, two slots 4 and 5 are arranged side by side in the longitudinal direction. Below the slots 4 and 5, a web 6 runs parallel to the long sides of the slots 4 and 5 at a certain distance (cf. FIG. 2).

Die Stütze 3 weist an ihrem im zusammengebauten Zustand an der Rückwand 2 des Bilderhalters 1 angelenkten Ende 7 (vgl. Fig. 3) zwei nebeneinander angeordnete Haken 8 und 9 auf. Die Haken 8 und 9 erstrecken sich quer zur Längsachse der Stütze 3 und in Richtung der Rückwand 2 des Bilderhalters 1. In den Haken 8 und 9 ist quer zur Längsachse der Stütze 3 eine Nut 10 eingelassen. Die Oberseite 11 der Haken 8 und 9 ist nockenförmig ausgebildet. An die Oberseite 11 schließt sich in Verlängerung der Längserstreckung der Stütze 3 ein Anschlag 12 an. Die dem freien Ende der Stütze 3 zugewandte Unterseite 13 der Haken 8 und 9 weist einen in etwa parallel zur Stütze 3 verlaufenden Vorsprung 14 auf.The support 3 has two hooks 8 and 9 arranged next to one another at its end 7 (see FIG. 3) articulated on the rear wall 2 of the picture holder 1 in the assembled state. The hooks 8 and 9 extend transversely to the longitudinal axis of the support 3 and in the direction of the rear wall 2 of the picture holder 1. A groove 10 is embedded in the hooks 8 and 9 transversely to the longitudinal axis of the support 3. The top 11 of the hooks 8 and 9 is cam-shaped. A stop 12 adjoins the upper side 11 in the extension of the longitudinal extent of the support 3. The underside 13 of the hooks 8 and 9 facing the free end of the support 3 has a projection 14 running approximately parallel to the support 3.

Wie besser aus Fig. 3 ersichtlich, befindet sich zwischen den beiden Haken 8 und 9 ein Abstandshalter 15.3, there is a spacer 15 between the two hooks 8 and 9.

Die Rückwand 2 sowie die Stütze 3 des Bilderhalters 1 sind jeweils einstückige, aus Kunststoff hergestellte Spritzgußteile.The rear wall 2 and the support 3 of the picture holder 1 are each one-piece, injection molded parts made of plastic.

Im folgenden wird die Wirkungsweise des erfindungsgemäßen Ausführungsbeispiels erläutert.The mode of operation of the exemplary embodiment according to the invention is explained below.

In Fig. 3 ist die Stütze 3 in der an die Rückwand 2 des Bilderhalters 1 angeschwenkten Ruhestellung gezeigt.In Fig. 3, the support 3 is shown in the rest position pivoted to the rear wall 2 of the picture holder 1.

In dieser Stellung liegen die Haken 8 und 9 jeweils mit ihrer Oberseite 11 und ihrer Unterseite 13 an der oberen langen Seite 16 sowie an der unteren langen Seite 17 der Schlitze 4 und 5 an. Ebenso liegt der Abstandhalter 15 der Stütze 3 an der Rückwand 2 des Bilderhalters 1 an. Der Abstand zwischen Ober- und Unterseite 11 und 13 der Haken 8 und 9 ist so gewählt, daß er geringfügig größer als der Abstand zwischen der oberen langen Seite 16 und der unteren langen Seite 17 des Schlitzes 4 und 5 ist. Aufgrund der elastischen Nachgiebigkeit der Haken 8 und 9 liegen diese vorgespannt an den fangen Seiten der Schlitze 4 und 5 an. Der Vorsprung 14 der Haken 8 und 9 berührt in dieser Stellung nicht den Steg 6.In this position, the hooks 8 and 9 each rest with their upper side 11 and their lower side 13 on the upper long side 16 and on the lower long side 17 of the slots 4 and 5. The spacer 15 of the support 3 also bears against the rear wall 2 of the picture holder 1. The distance between the top and bottom 11 and 13 of the hooks 8 and 9 is chosen so that it is slightly larger than the distance between the upper long side 16 and the lower long side 17 of the slot 4 and 5. Due to the elastic resilience of the hooks 8 and 9, these are prestressed against the long sides of the slots 4 and 5. The projection 14 of the hooks 8 and 9 does not touch the web 6 in this position.

Wird die Stütze 3 des Bilderhalters 1 nun in Richtung der abgespreizten Gebrauchsstellung geschwenkt, so drehen sich die Haken 8 und 9 um die untere lange Seite 17 der Schlitze 4 und 5, bis der der Vorsprung 14 den Steg 6 berührt. Diese Zwischenstellung ist in Fig. 4 dargestellt. Der Vorsprung 14 ist so bemessen, daß er bereits bei geringfügigem Herausschwenken der Stütze 3 gegen den Steg 6 stößt. Bei der Schwenkbewegung sorgt der Abstandshalter 15 dafür, daß der Drehpunkt der Schwenkbewegung an der unteren langen Seite der Schlitze 4 und 5 liegt und nicht an der Stelle, an der der Vorsprung 14 der Haken 8 und 9 den Steg 6 berührt.If the support 3 of the picture holder 1 is now pivoted in the direction of the spread-out use position, the hooks 8 and 9 rotate about the lower long side 17 of the slots 4 and 5 until the projection 14 touches the web 6. This intermediate position is shown in Fig. 4. The projection 14 is dimensioned such that it abuts the web 6 when the support 3 is pivoted out slightly. During the pivoting movement, the spacer 15 ensures that the pivot point of the pivoting movement lies on the lower long side of the slots 4 and 5 and not at the point at which the projection 14 of the hooks 8 and 9 touches the web 6.

In der in Fig. 4 gezeigten Zwischenstellung wirken die obere lange Seite 16 der Schlitze 4 und 5 und der Steg 6 gegenüber der nockenförmigen Oberseite 11 und dem Vorsprung 14 der Haken 8 und 9 als Abstützungen. Durch weiteres Verschwenken der Stütze 3 verspannen sich die Haken 8 und 9 gegenüber den erwähnten Abstützungen 6 und 16.In the intermediate position shown in FIG. 4, the upper long side 16 of the slots 4 and 5 and the web 6 act as supports with respect to the cam-shaped upper side 11 and the projection 14 of the hooks 8 and 9. By further pivoting the support 3, the hooks 8 and 9 brace against the supports 6 and 16 mentioned.

Bevor die in Fig. 5 dargestellte abgespreizte Gebrauchsstellung der Stütze 3 erreicht wird, nimmt die zwischen der oberen langen Seite der Schlitze 4 und 5 und dem Steg 16 gemessene wirksame Dicke der Haken 8 und 9 wieder ab, so daß die in der Gebrauchsstellung auf die Abstützungen aufgebrachte Spannung geringer als bei der Zwischenstellung ist.Before the spread position of use of the support 3 shown in FIG. 5 is reached, the effective thickness of the hooks 8 and 9 measured between the upper long side of the slots 4 and 5 and the web 16 decreases again, so that in the position of use on the Support applied voltage is less than in the intermediate position.

Wie in Fig. 5 dargestellt, liegt die Oberseite 11 der Haken 8 und 9 fast planparallel an der oberen langen Seite der Schlitzer 4 und 5 an. Ebenso liegt der Anschlag 12 an der Rückwand 2 des Bilderhalters 1 an. Der Vorsprung 14 ist aufgrund der Schwenkbewegung um die untere lange Seite der Schlitze 4 und 5 entlang dem Steg 6 bis zur Berührung mit der Rückwand 2 gerutscht. Die Haken 8 und 9 sind auch in dieser Gebrauchsstellung gegen die obere lange Seite 16 und den Steg 6 vorgespannt. Aufgrund der planparallelen Anlage der Oberseite 11 der Haken 8 und 9 ist ein Zurückschwenken der Stütze 3 nur durch Aufbringung eines um die untere lange Seite 17 der Schlitze 4 und 5 wirkendes Schwenkmoments möglich. Dadurch ist gewährleistet, daß die Stütze 3 nicht ungewollt an die Rückwand 2 des Bilderhalters 1 heranklappen kann.As shown in Fig. 5, the top 11 of the hooks 8 and 9 lies almost plane-parallel to the upper long side of the slits 4 and 5. Likewise, the stop 12 bears against the rear wall 2 of the picture holder 1. The projection 14 has slipped due to the pivoting movement around the lower long side of the slots 4 and 5 along the web 6 until it comes into contact with the rear wall 2. The hooks 8 and 9 are also biased against the upper long side 16 and the web 6 in this position of use. Due to the plane-parallel contact of the top 11 of the hooks 8 and 9, a pivoting back of the support 3 is only possible by applying a pivoting moment acting around the lower long side 17 of the slots 4 and 5. This ensures that the support 3 cannot accidentally fold up against the rear wall 2 of the picture holder 1.

Für die Schwenkbewegung der Stütze 3 reicht bereits eine geringe elastische Nachgiebigkeit zwischen den Haken 8 und 9 und den Abstützungen 6 und 16 aus.A slight elastic compliance between the hooks 8 and 9 and the supports 6 and 16 is sufficient for the pivoting movement of the support 3.

Die Stütze läßt sich durch Daumendruck von der Innenseite der Bilderhalterrückwand auf die Haken 8 und 9 einfach aushängen, was z. B. bei der Aufhängung von ovalen Bilderhaltern wünschenswert ist, wenn die Stütze im angeklappten Zustand die Fläche der Rückwand überragt.The support can be easily removed by thumb pressure from the inside of the picture holder rear wall on the hooks 8 and 9, which, for. B. when hanging oval picture holders is desirable if the support extends beyond the surface of the rear wall when folded.
