Definitions

  • the present invention relates to an object-supporting device according to the preamble of independent Claim 1.
  • the object of the present invention is to provide a support device which can be produced and mounted at very low costs and which has a relatively long useful life.
  • the reference numeral 1 identifies an object, such as a flat signboard which in the illustrated case is not “self-standing” but is intended to be used in an upstanding position, Figure 3, while supported by a support device 2.
  • the illustrated support device includes at least one flexible and resilient, generally sheet-like support-part 3 which includes an attachment part 4 which is intended to be attached to the object to be supported, and at least one tongue-like part 5 having a free-end 6 which is preferably intended to face the attachment part 4 in said first position.
  • the free-part 3' of the support-part is intended to be bent outwardly away from the object 1.
  • the tongue-like part 5 is intended be bent inwards so that its free-end 6 lies against the object and therewith holds the support-part in its outwardly bent position.
  • the free-end 6 of the tongue-like part 5 is preferably intended to lie against the object in a position which is remote from the attachment 5' of the tongue-like part to the free-part of the support-part, as seen from the attachment part, so that the tongue-like part will form a strut which lies against the object and which holds the free-part of said support-part in its outwardly bent position.
  • the reference numeral 7 identifies a supporting surface on which the support-part is intended to lie.
  • the angle at which the object is supported can be influenced by the height position of the support portion 3'' of the support-part in relation to the bottom edge 1' or the like of said object.
  • the support portion of the support-part extends at a given angle V in relation to the bottom edge 1' of the object.
  • the reference numeral 8 identifies two notches or cuts, each of which forms a hollow in which the two opposite ends 5'' of the tongue-like part extend to the free-part of the support-part at the attachment 5'.
  • Embodiments are conceivable in which the free-part 3' of a support-part 3 extends downwards from an attachment part positioned above the tongue-like part, wherein the support-part is intended to support on its end 3'' opposite the attachment part.
  • the support-part or parts is/are preferably made of a relatively thin plastic material.
  • the support-part 3 having the attachment part 4 and the tongue-like part 5 are preferably a one-piece structure.
  • the manner in which the inventive device functions will be understood essentially from the aforegoing.
  • the support device will return from its supportive position to its flat transport and storage position automatically, since the support-part 3 and the tongue-like part 5 are resilient.
  • the tongue-like part 5 is held pressed against the object in the supporting mode of said device as a result of the spring-like properties of the support part.
  • the shape of the support parts can vary within wide limits.

  1. Gegenstands-Stützvorrichtung wie z.B. Vorrichtung zum Stützen eines ebenen Schildes, eines Fotografierahmens oder dergleichen, der in aufrechter Lage zu benutzen ist, wenn er von der Stützvorrichtung gestützt wird, wobei die Vorrichtung eine allgemein ebene erste Position, und zwar eine Transport- und Speicherposition, entsprechend der Form des Gegenstandes und eine zweite Position, und zwar eine Stützposition, einnehmen kann, in der sich ein Teil der Vorrichtung von dem Gegenstand weg erstreckt, um ein Stützteil zu bilden, das dazu dient, an einer darunter liegende Flächen anzuliegen, wobei die Vorrichtung mindestens ein allgemein blattförmiges Stützteil, das ein Befestigungsteil umfaßt, welches an dem zu stützenden Teil befestigbar ist, und mindestens ein zungenartiges Teil mit einem freien Ende aufweist, wobei ein freier Teil des Stützteiles von dem Gegenstand (1) aus nach außen wegbiegbar ist, um die Vorrichtung in die gegenstandsstützende Position zu bringen, und das zungenartige Teil nach innen biegbar ist, so daß sein freies Ende (6) an dem Gegenstand anliegt und mit diesem das Stützteil (3) in seiner nach außen gebogenen Position hält, dadurch gekennzeichnet, daß das Stützteil (3) mit seinem zungenartigen Teil/Teilen (5) flexibel und elastisch und vorzugsweise aus dünnem Kunststoff hergestellt ist und daß das freie Ende (6) des zungenartigen Teils (5) in der gegenstandsstützenden Position gegen den Gegenstand in einer Position angepreßt gehalten wird, die von der Befestigung (5') des zungenartigen Teils an dem freien Teil des Stützteiles, gesehen von dem Befestigungsteil (4) aus, entfernt ist, und zwar als Folge der federartigen Eigenschaften des Stützteils.
  2. Vorrichtung nach Anspruch 1, dadurch gekennzeichnet, daß die Vorrichtung zwei Stützteile (3) aufweist, die auf gegenüberliegenden Seiten eines zentralen Befestigungsteils (4) angeordnet sind.
  3. Vorrichtung nach Anspruch 1 oder 2, gekennzeichnet durch zwei Nuten bzw. Einschnitte (8), von denen jede bzw. jeder einen Hohlraum bildet, in den sich die beiden entgegengesetzten Enden (5'') des zungenartigen Teils zu dem freien Teil des Stützteiles an der Befestigung (5') des zungenartigen Teils am freien Teil des Stützteiles erstrecken.
