Description

Die Erfindung betrifft einen Handtuchhalter, insbesondere für eine Dusch- oder Badewannenabtrennung, mit einer Tragstange, die mittels Verbindungsteilen in einer vertikalen Befestigungsebene an einer Wand bei horizontaler Ausrichtung der Längsachse befestigbar ist, und mit einer Auszugstange, welche mit ihrer Achse zur Längsachse der Tragstange ausgerichtet und bezüglich dieser axial verschiebbar angeordnet ist.The invention relates to a towel holder, in particular for a shower or bathtub partition, with a support rod which can be fastened by means of connecting parts in a vertical fastening plane to a wall with the longitudinal axis aligned horizontally, and with a pull-out rod which is aligned with its axis to the longitudinal axis of the support rod and is arranged axially displaceable with respect to this.

Aus der DE-PS 35 26 730 ist ein derartiger Handtuchhalter bekannt. Die Auszugstange besteht aus einem Stück und kann bedarfsweise in die Tragstange hineingeschoben oder aus dieser herausgezogen werden. In der herausgezogenen Position besteht die Gefahr, daß eine Person an der Stange "hängenbleibt", wodurch Beschädigungen des Handtuchhalters oder gar Verletzungen der Person möglich sind. Dies gilt umsomehr, als ein solcher Handtuchhalter in einem Bad- oder Duschraum installiert wird, wo oftmals nicht allzuviel freier Bewegungsraum für eine Person zur Verfügung steht.Such a towel holder is known from DE-PS 35 26 730. The pull-out rod consists of one piece and can, if necessary, be pushed into or pulled out of the carrying rod. In the pulled-out position, there is a risk that a person "gets caught" on the rod, which can damage the towel holder or even injure the person. This is all the more true when such a towel holder is installed in a bathroom or shower room, where there is often not too much free movement space available for one person.

Der Erfindung liegt die Aufgabe zugrunde, den Handtuchhalter der eingangs genannten Art mit geringem Aufwand dahingehend weiterzubilden, daß eine sicherere Handhabung gewährleistet wird und die Gefahr einer Beschädigung des Handtuchhalters oder gar einer Verletzung einer Person vermindert wird. Ferner soll der Handtuchhalter eine gute Stabilität und hohe Funktionssicherheit bei einfacher Konstruktion aufweisen.The invention has for its object to develop the towel holder of the type mentioned with little effort to ensure safer handling and the risk of damage to the towel holder or even injury to a person is reduced. Furthermore, the towel holder should have good stability and high functional reliability with a simple construction.

Zur Lösung dieser Aufgabe wird vorgeschlagen, daß die Auszugstange aus wenigstens zwei Teilen besteht, die mittels eines Scharniers miteinander verbunden sind, wobei die Scharnierachse im wesentlichen parallel zur Befestigungsebene und senkrecht zur Achse der Auszugstange angeordnet ist.To achieve this object, it is proposed that the pull-out rod consists of at least two parts which are connected to one another by means of a hinge, the hinge axis being arranged essentially parallel to the fastening plane and perpendicular to the axis of the pull-out rod.

Der erfindungsgemäße Handtuchhalter zeichnet sich durch eine einfache Konstruktion aus und die eingangs erläuterten Schwierigkeiten bei ganz oder auch nur teilweise ausgezogener Auszugstange werden mit einfachen Mitteln vermieden. Das Scharnier ermöglicht das problemlose Verschwenken des vorderen Teiles der Auszugstange. Bei Anordnung des Handtuchhalters an einem feststehenden Wandteil einer Duschabtrennung läßt sich das vordere Teil der Auszugstange bei Bedarf leicht vor den Einstiegsbereich schwenken, so daß ein Benutzer leicht ein auf das vordere Teil der Auszugstange gehängtes Handtuch ergreifen kann. Das Scharnier weist zweckmäßig Rastmittel auf, um eine definierte Winkelstellung des vorderen Teiles der Auszugstange zum hinteren Teil derselben bzw. der Tragstange vorzugeben. So werden insbesondere um jeweils 90° versetzte Stellungen vorgegeben, damit für den jeweiligen Einsatzzweck das vordere Teil der Auszugstange in die gewünschte Position eingestellt werden kann. Der Handtuchhalter kann ebenso an einer Raumwand befestigt werden, so daß ein auf dem vorderen, von der Wand weggeschwenkten Teil, aufgehängtes Handtuch oder Kleidungsstück sehr leicht ergriffen werden kann.The towel holder according to the invention is characterized by a simple construction and the difficulties explained at the outset when the pull-out bar is fully or only partially extended are avoided with simple means. The hinge enables the front part of the pull-out rod to be pivoted easily. When the towel holder is arranged on a fixed wall part of a shower partition, the front part of the pull-out bar can be easily pivoted in front of the entry area if necessary, so that a user can easily grab a towel hung on the front part of the pull-out bar. The hinge expediently has latching means in order to predefine a defined angular position of the front part of the pull-out rod in relation to the rear part thereof or the carrying rod. In particular, positions offset by 90 ° are specified so that the front part of the pull-out rod can be set to the desired position for the respective application. The towel holder can also be attached to a wall of the room, so that a towel or garment hung on the front part pivoted away from the wall can be gripped very easily.

Die Auszugstange bzw. deren beiden Teile sind als Hohlprofil ausgebildet, so daß in den inneren Hohlraum das Scharnier mit entsprechend ausgebildeten Zapfen eingeschoben und befestigt werden kann. Zur Befestigung weisen die Zapfen der beiden Scharnierhälften zweckmäßigerweise über die Außenfläche etwas vorstehende Nocken oder dergleichen auf, so daß der Zapfen problemlos in den Hohlraum eingeschoben werden kann und aufgrund der Deformation der Nocken mit Preßsitz gehalten wird, Folglich müssen keine allzu hohen Forderungen hinsichtlich Toleranzgrenzen eingehalten werden, was für eine kostengünstige Fertigung von Bedeutung ist.The pull-out rod or its two parts are designed as a hollow profile, so that the hinge can be inserted and fastened into the inner cavity with appropriately designed pins. For fastening, the pins of the two hinge halves expediently have somewhat protruding cams or the like over the outer surface, so that the pin can be inserted into the cavity without problems and is held with a press fit due to the deformation of the cams what is important for cost-effective production.

In einer besonderen Ausführungsform ist die Auszugstange innerhalb der im Inneren hohl ausgebildeten Tragstange verschiebbar angeordnet, wobei die äußere Kontur und/oder die Außenabmessungen des Scharniers höchstens so groß sind wie der Querschnitt des inneren Hohlraumes der Tragstange. Die aus zwei Teilen bestehende Auszugstange kann bei dieser zur Tragstange koaxialen Anordnung und Ausbildung der aus zwei Teilen bestehenden Auszugstange, kann diese zusammen mit dem Scharnier in das Innere der Tragstange verschoben werden bzw. aus dieser herausgezogen werden. Sind die beiden Teile der Auszugstange teleskopartig in die Tragstange hineingeschoben, so ist nur noch ein Griffstück vom oberen Teil sichtbar, an welchem Griffstück ein Benutzer angreifen und die beiden Teile aus der Tragstange bedarfsweise herausziehen kann.In a special embodiment, the pull-out rod is arranged displaceably within the support rod, which is hollow on the inside, the outer contour and / or the outer dimensions of the hinge being at most as large as the cross section of the inner cavity of the support rod. The two-part pull-out rod can be arranged coaxially with the carrying rod and the two-part pull-out rod can be moved together with the hinge into the inside of the carrying rod or pulled out of it. If the two parts of the pull-out rod are telescopically pushed into the support rod, only one grip piece from the upper part is visible, on which grip piece a user can grip and pull the two parts out of the support rod if necessary.

In einer anderen wesentlichen Ausführungsform, die durch eine besonders stabile Ausgestaltung des Scharniers sich auszeichnet, ist die Auszugstange parallel zur Tragstange angeordnet und weist am freien Ende des hinteren Teiles ein Führungsteil auf, das die Tragstange zumindest teilweise umgreift. Die Auszugstange befindet sich in einer zur Tragstange parallelen Ebene, und zwar bei horizontaler Blickrichtung auf die Tragstange hinter derselben. Das Verbindungsteil weist eine zur Tragstange versetzt angeordnete Öffnung auf, in welcher die Auszugstange geführt und längs ihrer Achse verschiebbar ist.In another essential embodiment, which is characterized by a particularly stable design of the hinge, the pull-out rod is arranged parallel to the support rod and has a guide part at the free end of the rear part, which at least partially encompasses the support rod. The pull-out rod is located in a plane parallel to the support rod, namely when the support rod is viewed horizontally behind it. The connecting part has an opening offset to the support rod, in which the pull-out rod is guided and can be displaced along its axis.

Fig. 1 zeigt eine Duschabtrennung, die über einer hier nicht weiter dargestellten Duschwanne im Eck zwischen zwei Raumwän den 2, 4 angeordnet ist. Diese Duschabtrennung enthält im Einstiegsbereich verschiebbar angeordnete Türen 6, welche in Profilschienen 8, 10 eines Rahmens aufgehängt und geführt sind. Ferner enthält die Duschabtrennung eine feststehende Seitenwand 12, die auf den oberen Rand 14 der Duschwanne aufgesetzt ist und mit der einen Raumwand 2 in hier nicht weiter zu erläuternder Weise verbunden ist. Die Seitenwand 12 enthält zwei vertikale Profilschienen 16, 18, an welchen Verbindungsteile 20, 22 des Handtuchhalters befestigt sind. Die Außenflächen der Profilschienen 16, 18 definieren die vertikale Befestigungsfläche des Handtuchhalters.Fig. 1 shows a shower partition, the 2, 4 is arranged above a shower tray not shown here in the corner between two Raumwän. This shower partition contains slidably arranged doors 6 in the entry area, which are suspended and guided in rails 8, 10 of a frame. Furthermore, the shower partition contains a fixed side wall 12, which is placed on the upper edge 14 of the shower tray and with which a room wall 2 is connected in a manner not to be further explained here. The side wall 12 contains two vertical profile rails 16, 18, to which connecting parts 20, 22 of the towel holder are fastened. The outer surfaces of the profile rails 16, 18 define the vertical fastening surface of the towel holder.

Der Handtuchhalter enthält eine horizontal ausgerichtete Tragstange 24, die im Inneren hohl ausgebildet ist und mit den Verbindungsteilen 20, 22 verbunden ist. Die Tragstange 24 ist als ein Hohlprofil ausgebildet, in deren freien Innenraum eine Auszugstange 26 in Richtung der Doppelpfeile 28 angedeuteten Längsachse 29 verschiebbar angeordnet ist. Die Auszugstange 26 enthält zwei Teile 30, 32, die mittels eines Scharniers 34 gelenkig miteinander verbunden sind. Das Scharnier 34 weist eine vertikal ausgerichtete Scharnierachse 36 auf. Die Scharnierachse 36 steht parallel zur Befestigungsebene und im wesentlichen senkrecht zur Längsachse 29. Das vordere Teil 32 der Auszugstange 26 ist gemäß Zeichnung um einen Winkel von 90° um die Scharnierachse 36 bezüglich des hinteren Teiles 30 bzw. der Tragstange 24 geschwenkt. Wie ersichtlich, läßt sich das vordere Teil 32 entsprechend den beiden Doppelpfeilen 38 in die strichpunktiert dargestellten Positionen schwenken, die mit Rastmitteln definiert sind. In der dargestellten Position des vorderen Teiles 32 befindet sich dieses vor dem Einstieg der Duschabtrennung, so daß ein darauf gehängtes Handtuch 40 problemlos von einem Benutzer nach dem Duschen ergriffen werden kann. In der durch die Rastmittel erfindungsgemäß definierten geradlinigen Ausrichtung der beiden Teile 30, 32 wird das problemlose Einschieben in die Tragstange 24 gewährleistet. Aufgrund der Unterteilung der Auszugstange und der Schwenkbarkeit des vorderen Teiles 32 wird die Gefahr von Beschädigungen oder Verletzungen einer Person vermieden. Die Außenabmessungen des Scharniers 34 entsprechen im wesentlichen den Außenabmessungen der Teile 30, 32 und kann folglich mit diesen in die Tragstange 24 geschoben werden. Am vorderen Ende des Teiles 32 ist ein Griffstück 42 angeordnet, das im eingeschobenen Zustand sich nahe an dem Verbindungsteil 22 befindet und von einem Benutzer zum Herausziehen der Auszugstange ergriffen werden kann.The towel holder contains a horizontally oriented support rod 24 which is hollow on the inside and is connected to the connecting parts 20, 22. The support rod 24 is designed as a hollow profile, in the free interior of which a pull-out rod 26 is arranged displaceably in the direction of the double arrows 28, the longitudinal axis 29. The pull-out rod 26 contains two parts 30, 32 which are connected to one another in an articulated manner by means of a hinge 34. The hinge 34 has a vertically aligned hinge axis 36. The hinge axis 36 is parallel to the mounting plane and essentially perpendicular to the longitudinal axis 29. The front part 32 of the extension rod 26 is pivoted according to the drawing by an angle of 90 ° around the hinge axis 36 with respect to the rear part 30 or the support rod 24. As can be seen, the front part 32 can be pivoted according to the two double arrows 38 into the positions shown in broken lines, which are defined by locking means. In the position shown, the front part 32 is located before the shower partition, so that a towel 40 hung thereon can be easily gripped by a user after showering. In the rectilinear alignment of the two parts 30, 32 defined by the latching means, the problem-free insertion into the support rod 24 is ensured. Due to the subdivision of the extension rod and the pivotability of the front part 32, the risk of damage or injury to a person is avoided. The outer dimensions of the hinge 34 correspond essentially to the outer dimensions of the parts 30, 32 and can therefore be pushed into the support rod 24 with them. At the front end of the part 32, a handle 42 is arranged, which is in the inserted state close to the connecting part 22 and can be gripped by a user to pull out the pull-out rod.

Das Element 46 ist hier aus Gründen der Übersichtlichkeit strichliniert angedeutet und die nachfolgenden Erklärungen zum Element 44 reiten entsprechend auch für das Element 46. Das Element 44 enthält zwei axial beabstandet angeordnete Gelenkteile 50, 52, durch deren zentrale Bohrungen 53 der Drehzapfen 48 geführt wird. Die Gelenkteile 50, 52 sind an einem Mittelstück 54 angeordnet, das zum Zapfen 48 weisende Rastnasen 56 enthält. Die Gelenkteile 50, 52 sind mit entsprechend ausgebildeten Rastnuten 58 versehen.FIG. 2 shows an enlarged view of the hinge 34, the two elements 44, 46 of the same design which can be pivoted relative to one another by a pivot 48. For reasons of clarity, the element 46 is indicated by dashed lines and the following explanations for the element 44 also correspond to the element 46. The element 44 contains two axially spaced articulated parts 50, 52, through the central bores 53 of which the pivot pin 48 is guided. The articulated parts 50, 52 are arranged on a middle piece 54, which contains locking lugs 56 pointing towards the pin 48. The joint parts 50, 52 are provided with correspondingly designed locking grooves 58.

Das Element 44 weist auf der anderen Seite des Mittelstückes 54 einen etwa rechteckförmigen Zapfen 56 auf, an dessen Außenfläche in Längsrichtung verlaufende Nocken 62 angeordnet sind. Das Element 44 ist mit dem Zapfen 66 in den freien Innenraum des als Hohlprofil ausgebildeten Teiles 30 der Auszugstange eingeschoben. Wesentlich ist, daß das Gelenkteil 44 mit Preßsitz in die Auszugstange eingeschoben ist, wobei mittels der Nocken 62 eine hinreichende Deformierbarkeit gewährleistet wird und Fertigungstoleranzen funktionssicher ausgeglichen werden.The element 44 has on the other side of the middle piece 54 an approximately rectangular pin 56, on the outer surface of which longitudinally extending cams 62 are arranged. The element 44 is inserted with the pin 66 into the free interior of the part 30 of the pull-out rod designed as a hollow profile. It is essential that the articulated part 44 is pushed into the extension rod with a press fit, with the cams 62 ensuring sufficient deformability and manufacturing tolerances being compensated for in a functionally reliable manner.

Fig. 3 zeigt eine Ansicht des Elements 44, wobei nunmehr drei Rastnuten 58 des Gelenkteiles 50 klar zu erkennen sind. Diese Rastnuten 58 sind jeweils um 90° gegeneinander versetzt, wobei die mittlere Rastnut in der Längsebene 64 angeordnet ist, in der insbesondere die Längsachse der Tragstange liegt. Die mittlere Rastnut 58 gibt folglich die geradlinige Ausrichtung der beiden Teile der Auszugstange vor. Die derart zueinander ausgerichteten Teile der Auszugstange können funktionssicher in die Tragstange eingeschoben werden. Auch die Rastnase 56 am Mittelstück 54 liegt in der Längsebene 64. Ist die entsprechende Rastnase des anderen Elementes in die mittlere Rastnut 58 vom Element 44 eingerastet, so sind die Zapfen der beiden Scharnierelemente geradlinig zueinander ausgerichtet.FIG. 3 shows a view of the element 44, three latching grooves 58 of the joint part 50 now being clearly visible. These locking grooves 58 are each offset by 90 ° to one another, the central locking groove being arranged in the longitudinal plane 64, in which the longitudinal axis of the support rod lies in particular. The central locking groove 58 therefore specifies the straight alignment of the two parts of the extension rod. The parts of the pull-out rod that are aligned with one another in this way can be pushed into the support rod in a functionally reliable manner. The locking lug 56 on the center piece 54 also lies in the longitudinal plane 64. If the corresponding locking lug of the other element is engaged in the central locking groove 58 by the element 44, the pins of the two hinge elements are aligned in a straight line to one another.

Fig. 4 zeigt das Element 44 in einer Ansicht auf den Zapfen 60, wobei hier die vier in Längsrichtung angeordneten Nocken 62 klar zu erkennen sind. Diese Nocken werden beim Einschieben in das Innere des Auszugstangenteiles zusammengepreßt und ein fester Sitz wird auch bei Zulassung von relativ großen Herstelltoleranzen gewährleistet.4 shows the element 44 in a view of the pin 60, the four cams 62 arranged in the longitudinal direction being clearly visible here. These cams are pressed together when inserted into the interior of the pull-out rod part and a tight fit is ensured even with the approval of relatively large manufacturing tolerances.

Fig. 5 zeigt in einer Vergrößerung das Gelenkteil 50, wobei durch die strichpunktierte Linie 66 das entsprechende Gelenkteil des anderen Elementes angedeutet ist, das mit entsprechenden Rastnuten 58 versehen ist. In die eine angedeutete Rastnut 58 greift die Rastnase 56 des Elementes 44. Die oben erläuterte Vorgabe von definierten Winkelstellungen wird in einfacher Weise erreicht.5 shows an enlarged view of the joint part 50, the dashed line 66 indicating the corresponding joint part of the other element, which is provided with corresponding locking grooves 58. The catch 56 of the element 44 engages in the indicated catch groove 58. The above-described specification of defined angular positions is achieved in a simple manner.

In Fig. 6 ist eine besonders stabile Ausführungsform dargestellt, gemäß welcher die beiden Teile 30, 32 sowie das Scharnier 34 parallel zur Tragstange 24 hinter derselben angeordnet sind. Die Achse 27 vom hinteren Teil 30 der Auszugstange befindet sich parallel zur Längsachse 29 der Tragstange 24. Am hinteren Ende des Teiles 30 ist ein Führungsteil 68 angeordnet, der die Tragstange 24 im Rahmen dieser Erfindung zumindest teilweise umgreift. Der Führungsteil 68 enthält eine Lageröffnung 70, durch welche die Tragstange 24 hindurchgreift. Die Kontur dieser Lageröffnung 70 ist auf die Außenkontur der Tragstange 24 abgestimmt und weist im Rahmen dieser Erfindung zweckmäßig einen rechteckförmigen Querschnitt auf. Aufgrund des rechteckförmigen Querschnittes wird in einfacher Weise eine Drehung unterbunden und die Auszugstange befindet sich bei Blickrichtung auf die Duschtrennwand bzw. die Tragstange zumindest teilweise in dem freien Raum 67 hinter derselben. Der vordere Verbindungsteil 22 weist ebenfalls eine Öffnung 72 auf, welche an die Außenkontur der Auszugstange 26 angepaßt ist. Die beiden Teile 30, 32 sowie das Scharnier 34, dessen Außenkontur nicht größer als die genannten Teile ist, können durch die Öffnung 72 hindurchgeschoben werden. Die Öffnung 72 liegt im Rahmen dieser Erfindung in der horizöntalen Ebene versetzt hinter der Tragstange 24. Die Höhe 74 der Auszugstange ist im Rahment dieser Erfindung im wesentlichen gleich groß wie die vertikale Höhe der Tragstange 24. Das Scharnier 34 kann in seinen Außenabmessungen unabhängig von der Größe des inneren Hohlraumes der Tragstange 24 ausgebildet werden und weist daher eine gegenüber der eingangs erläuterten Auusführungsform eine erheblich verbesserte Stabilität auf. Mit geringem Aufwand wird eine hohe Funktionssicherheit gewährleistet und Beschädigungen, insbesondere des Scharniers werden zuverlässig vermieden.6 shows a particularly stable embodiment, according to which the two parts 30, 32 and the hinge 34 are arranged parallel to the support rod 24 behind the latter. The axis 27 of the rear part 30 of the pull-out rod is parallel to the longitudinal axis 29 of the support rod 24. At the rear end of part 30 there is a guide part 68 which holds the support rod 24 in the frame at least partially encompasses this invention. The guide part 68 contains a bearing opening 70 through which the support rod 24 extends. The contour of this bearing opening 70 is matched to the outer contour of the support rod 24 and expediently has a rectangular cross section in the context of this invention. Due to the rectangular cross-section, rotation is prevented in a simple manner and the pull-out rod is at least partially in the free space 67 behind it when looking at the shower partition or the support rod. The front connecting part 22 also has an opening 72 which is adapted to the outer contour of the extension rod 26. The two parts 30, 32 and the hinge 34, the outer contour of which is not larger than the parts mentioned, can be pushed through the opening 72. In the context of this invention, the opening 72 is offset in the horizontal plane behind the support rod 24. The height 74 of the pull-out rod is essentially the same size as the vertical height of the support rod 24 in the context of this invention Size of the inner cavity of the support rod 24 are formed and therefore has a significantly improved stability compared to the above-described embodiment. A high level of functional reliability is ensured with little effort and damage, in particular of the hinge, is reliably avoided.

In der Aufsicht gemäß Fig. 7 ist der mit dem hinteren Teil 30 verbundene Führungsteil 68 gut zu erkennen. Die Hinterkante 76 des Verbindungsteiles 22 bildet einen Anschlag für den Führungsteil 68 und ein unbeabsichtigtes Herausziehen der Auszugstange 26 wird mit geringem Aufwang verhindert. Der Führungsteil 68 ist entsprechend den obengenannten Zapfen im Inneren des hinteren Teiles 30 angeordnet und verpreßt.7, the guide part 68 connected to the rear part 30 is clearly visible. The rear edge 76 of the connecting part 22 forms a stop for the guide part 68 and inadvertent pulling out of the pull-out rod 26 is prevented with little effort. The guide part 68 is arranged and pressed according to the above-mentioned pin inside the rear part 30.

Fig. 8 zeigt den Handtuchhalter im eingeschobenen Zustand der Auszugstange 26. Das Griffstück 42 steht über die Vorderkante 78 vom Verbindungsteil 22 vor und kann von einem Benutzer gut erfaßt und umgriffen werden. Die Länge vom Griffstück 42 beträgt einige Zentimeter und zusätzlich wird durch Umfangsrillen das Ergreifen und insgesamt die Handhabung in einfacher Weise nicht unwesentlich verbessert.Fig. 8 shows the towel holder in the inserted state of the pull-out rod 26. The handle 42 protrudes beyond the front edge 78 of the connecting part 22 and can be gripped and gripped by a user. The length of the grip piece 42 is a few centimeters and, in addition, gripping and overall handling are not significantly improved in a simple manner by circumferential grooves.

Fig. 9 zeigt entsprechend Fig. 2, und zwar im gleichen Maßstab wie diese, eine Ansicht des Scharniers 34. Das Scharnier 34 ist im Bereich der Rastnase 56 geschnitten, welche an einem Hebel 82 angeordnet ist. Das Element 44 und ebenso das Element 46 ist aufgrund einer inneren Ausnehmung 84 hohl ausgebildet. Am Boden dieser Ausnehmung 84 befinden sich zwei zur Scharnierachse 36 durchgehende Spalte 85, 86 sowie ein dritter Spalt 87, der in Fig. 10 zu erkennen ist. Der derart gebildete und aus einem federelastischen Kunststoff bestehende Hebel 82 ermöglicht beim Drehen des Elementes 46 um die Scharnierachse 36 ein Ausweichen der Rastnase 56 in Richtung des Pfeiles 88, wodurch das Schwenken erleichtert wird und die Gefahr einer Beschädigung durch zu großen Kraftaufwand des Benutzers nicht unwesentlich reduziert wird. Andererseits wird in den durch die Rastnuten vorgegebenen Winkelstellungen eine gute Ar- retierung erreicht.FIG. 9 shows a view of the hinge 34 corresponding to FIG. 2, namely on the same scale as this. The hinge 34 is cut in the region of the latch 56, which is arranged on a lever 82. The element 44 and also the element 46 are hollow due to an inner recess 84. At the bottom of this recess 84 there are two gaps 85, 86 which run through to the hinge axis 36 and a third gap 87 which can be seen in FIG. 10. The lever 82 formed in this way and consisting of a resilient plastic enables the locking lug 56 to deflect in the direction of the arrow 88 when the element 46 is rotated about the hinge axis 36, as a result of which pivoting is facilitated and the risk of damage due to excessive force exerted by the user is not insignificant is reduced. On the other hand, in the lock grooves defined by the angular positions will be a good Ar - retierung achieved.

Fig. 10 zeigt einen Schnitt durch das Element 44 in der Schnittebene X-X gemäß Fig. 9. Die Ausnehmung 84 und ebenso der Spalt 87 sind gut zu erkennen. Die an dem Hebel 82 angeordnete Rastnase 56 ermöglicht in einfacher Weise ein federelastisches Ausweichen der Rastnase in Richtung des Pfeiles 88 nach hinten.FIG. 10 shows a section through the element 44 in the section plane X-X according to FIG. 9. The recess 84 and also the gap 87 are clearly visible. The locking lug 56 arranged on the lever 82 allows a spring-elastic evasion of the locking lug in the direction of arrow 88 to the rear in a simple manner.
