Es sind viele verschiedene Halter zum Festhalten von Geräten, Stempeln usw. bekannt, welche aus Metall, Holz, Kunststoffen oder anderen Materialien gefertigt sind. Diese sind meistens nicht sehr universell einsetzbar und können demnach nur für eine relativ beschränkte Anzahl verschiedenartiger Geräte eingesetzt werden.Many different holders for holding devices, stamps, etc., which are made of metal, wood, plastics or other materials, are known. These are usually not very universal and can therefore only be used for a relatively limited number of different types of devices.

Es sind auch Halterungen bekannt, welche magnetisiert sind und welche nur Metallgeräte festhalten können.Brackets are also known which are magnetized and which only metal devices can hold.

Es sind auch Halterungen bekannt, welche aus einem Gummigitter bestehen, in welche zum Beispiel Gartenwerkzeuge mit einem Stiel hineingesteckt werden können und welche dann durch die Gumminocken festgeklemmt werden. Auch diese Haltevorrichtung ist mehr für grössere Gegenstände, wie Gartenwerkzeuge geeignet und hat mit der hier vorliegenden Erfindung keine Aehnlichkeit.Brackets are also known which consist of a rubber grille into which garden tools with a handle can be inserted, for example, and which are then clamped by the rubber cams. This holding device is also more suitable for larger objects, such as garden tools, and has no resemblance to the present invention.

Exemplary embodiments of the invention are described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Show it
  • Fig. 1 is a perspective view of a holding device
  • Fig. 2 is an exploded view of the device according to. Fig. 1
  • Fig. 3 is a perspective view of an alternative form of a holding device
  • Fig. 4 is a schematic representation of any embodiment with inserted tools
  • Fig. 5 shows a further alternative embodiment
  • Fig. 6 shows a further alternative embodiment.

Die in den Fig. 1 und 2 gezeigte Festhaltevorrichtung besteht aus einem Schaumstoffblock 1 und einem Rahmen 2, der den Block 1 teilweise umfasst und als Halterung zur Befestigung der Vorrichtung an einer Wand etc. dient. Der Schaumstoffblock 1 hat im vorliegenden Beispiel eine Quaderform. Von der vorderen Seitenfläche 3 her ist der Block 1 in gleichmässigen Abständen im Wesentlichen parallel eingeschnitten, wobei die Einschnitte 4 über die Mitte des Blocks hinaus geführt sind aber nur soweit, dass noch ein zusammenhängender Rücken 5 bestehen bleibt.The holding device shown in FIGS. 1 and 2 consists of a foam block 1 and a frame 2 which partially encompasses the block 1 and serves as a holder for fastening the device to a wall etc. The foam block 1 has a cuboid shape in the present example. From the front side surface 3, the block 1 is cut substantially parallel at regular intervals, the cuts 4 being made beyond the center of the block but only to the extent that a coherent back 5 remains.

Die Einschnitte 4 können wahlweise auch in unregelmässigen Abständen oder schräg zur vorderen Seitenfläche geführt sein. Auch die Stärke des verbleibenden Rückens ist nicht kritisch und kann variiert werden.The incisions 4 can optionally be made at irregular intervals or at an angle to the front side surface. The strength of the remaining back is also not critical and can be varied.

Der Rahmen 2 umfasst im wesentlichen den Rücken 5 des Blocks 1 und weist entlang seinen Längsseiten flache Verbreiterungen 6 mit Bohrungen 7 zur Befestigung der Vorrichtung an einer Wand etc. auf. Diese flanschartigen Verbreiterungen können alternativ oder zusätzlich auch an den Querseiten des Rahmens 2 vorgesehen werden.The frame 2 essentially comprises the back 5 of the block 1 and has flat widenings 6 with holes 7 for fastening the device to a wall etc. along its longitudinal sides. These flange-like widenings can alternatively or can also be provided on the transverse sides of the frame 2.

An bestimmten, den Positionen einzelner Einschnitte entsprechenden Stellen weist der Rahmen Verbindungsstege 8 zwischen den Vorderkanten seiner Längsseiten auf. Beim Zusammensetzen von Schaumstoffblock 1 und Rahmen 2 zur gesamten Vorrichtung wird der Block 1 von hinten in den Rahmen 2 geschoben derart, dass die Stege 8 in die entsprechenden Einschnitte gelangen. Im zusammengesetzten Zustand verhindern die Stege, dass der Block 1 nach vorne aus dem Rahmen herausgezogen werden kann.At certain points corresponding to the positions of individual incisions, the frame has connecting webs 8 between the front edges of its long sides. When the foam block 1 and frame 2 are assembled to form the entire device, the block 1 is pushed into the frame 2 from behind in such a way that the webs 8 enter the corresponding incisions. In the assembled state, the webs prevent the block 1 from being pulled forward out of the frame.

Der Schaumstoffblock 1 besteht beim vorliegenden Beispiel aus Polyurethanschaum, der Rahmen aus PVC.The foam block 1 in the present example consists of polyurethane foam, the frame made of PVC.

Die in Fig. 3 gezeigte Ausführungsform unterscheidet sich von der vorstehend beschriebenen durch eine andere Form des Rahmens 9. Der Schaumstoffblock 1 ist mit dem gemäss Fig. 1 bzw. 2 identisch. Der Rahmen 9 besteht aus einer der Rückseite des Blocks 1 entsprechenden Platte 10 mit längsseitigen doppelt abgekanteten Aufbiegungen 11, die den Rücken 5 des Schaumstoffblocks 1 entlang dessen beiden Längskanten umfassen. Die Aufbiegungen 11 sind so geformt, dass der Rücken 5 gequetscht wird und der Block 1 auf diese Weise im Rahmen festgehalten wird. Der Rücken des Rahmens 9 ist mit einer Klebschicht 18 zur Verbindung mit einer Trägerwand versehen.The embodiment shown in FIG. 3 differs from that described above by a different shape of the frame 9. The foam block 1 is identical to that according to FIGS. 1 and 2. The frame 9 consists of a plate 10 corresponding to the rear side of the block 1 with longitudinally double-bent bends 11, which comprise the back 5 of the foam block 1 along its two longitudinal edges. The bends 11 are shaped so that the back 5 is squeezed and the block 1 is held in this way in the frame. The back of the frame 9 is provided with an adhesive layer 18 for connection to a carrier wall.

In Fig. 4 ist die Festhaltevorrichtung nach Fig. 1 gezeigt, wobei eine Anzahl verschiedenartiger Werkzeuge 12 eingesteckt und gehalten ist.4 shows the holding device according to FIG. 1, a number of different types of tools 12 being inserted and held.

Die in Fig. 5 gezeigte alternative Ausführungsform besteht wieder aus dem Schaumstoffblock 1 und einem Rahmen 13, der zusätzlich zum Rücken des Blocks 1 noch dessen Stirnseiten umfasst. Zu diesem Zweck weist der Rahmen 13 den Stirnflächen des Blocks 1 entsprechende, zur Rückseite senkrecht stehende Platten 14 auf, die mit wiederum senkrecht dazu verlaufenden Verlängerungen 15 versehen sind, die sich noch auf einem Teil der Vorder-, Ober- und Unterseite des Blocks 1 erstrecken. Bei dieser Ausführungsform wird durch die Platten 14 ein seitliches Ausweichen des Schaumstoffes, das bei den bisher beschriebenen Formen durch die grössere Dimension der Endstücke bewirkt wird, noch wirksamer verhindert.The alternative embodiment shown in FIG. 5 again consists of the foam block 1 and a frame 13 which, in addition to the back of the block 1, also comprises its end faces. For this purpose, the frame 13 has plates 14 which correspond to the end faces of the block 1 and which are perpendicular to the rear, which in turn are provided with extensions 15 which run perpendicularly thereto and which are still located on part of the front, top and bottom of the block 1 extend. In this embodiment, the plates 14 prevent the foam from escaping sideways, which is caused by the larger dimensions of the end pieces in the forms described so far, even more effectively.

Die in Fig. 6 gezeigte Ausführungsform weist im Unterschied zu den bisher beschriebenen einen Kreissegmentförmigen Schaumstoffblock 16 auf, bei dem die Einschnitte 17 in radialer Richtung geführt sind. Diese Ausführungsform ist nur ein Beispiel dafür, dass die Vorrichtung und insbesondere der Schaumstoffblock eine Vielzahl verschiedener Formen annehmen kann, ohne den Grundgedanken der Erfindung zu verlassen. In diesem Fall kann die Verbindung des Blockes mit dem Halterrahmen 19 mittels Klebung erfolgen.In contrast to the previously described embodiment, the embodiment shown in FIG. 6 has a foam block 16 in the form of a circular segment, in which the incisions 17 are made in the radial direction. This embodiment is only one example of how the device and in particular the foam block can take a variety of different forms without departing from the basic idea of the invention. In this case, the block can be connected to the holder frame 19 by means of adhesive.
