Abstract

Holder for tools and other objects is provided which substantially includes at least one rail having a uniform cross section along its longitudinal dimension and a plurality of holding devices fastened thereto. Each holding device is formed by a strip of determined length and width which is produced from resilient material and has fastening means at both ends. The fastening means are adapted to the rail and constructed for arrangement thereon. The holding device is bent in a U-shape and fastened at the rail so as to be displaceable in the longitudinal direction of the rail by its ends which form legs. The strip is constructed so that the center region of its length is narrower than the two end regions forming the legs and stiffening means are arranged on the inner side of the strip in the center of the wider end regions, which stiffening means project into the interior formed by the U-shaped strips and are directed toward the base of the rail.

Description

Die Erfindung bezieht sich auf einen Halter für Werkzeuge und andere Gegenstände, bestehend im wesentlichen aus mindestens einer, über ihre Längsausdehnung einen gleichbleibenden Querschnitt aufweisenden Schiene und einer Mehrzahl daran befestigter Haltemittel, wobei diese Haltemittel jeweils aus einem aus elastischem Material hergestellten Streifen bestimmter Länge und Breite bestehen, der an seinen beiden Enden jeweils der Schiene angepaßte und zur Anordnung daran ausgebildete Befestigungsmittel aufweist und, zu einer U-Form umgebogen, mit seinen Schenkel bildenden Enden an der Schiene in Längsrichtung derselben verschieblich befestigt ist.The invention relates to a holder for tools and other objects, consisting essentially of at least one rail, which has a constant cross-section over its longitudinal extension, and a plurality of holding means fastened to it, each holding means consisting of a strip of a certain length and width made of elastic material exist, which has at both ends of the rail adapted and arranged for arrangement fastening means and, bent into a U-shape, with its leg-forming ends is slidably attached to the rail in the longitudinal direction thereof.

Ein derartiger Halter ist z.B. aus der DE-C-34 90 321 bekannt.Such a holder is e.g. known from DE-C-34 90 321.

Ein solcher Halter kann für die Halterung bzw. Aufbewahrung von insbesondere Werkzeugen, aber auch anderen Gegenständen verwendet werden, die entweder, in Abhängigkeit ihrer Größe und/oder Form, in die U-förmig gebogenen Streifen hineingehängt bzw. gesteckt oder zwischen die jeweils aneinanderliegenden Schenkel von benachbarten U-förmig gebogenen Streifen hineingedrückt werden. Werkzeuge in Form von Zangen können auch mit einem der Griffe in einen solchen U-förmigen Streifen hineingehängt werden, wobei der andere Griff außerhalb des U-förmigen Streifens angeordnet ist und das Werkzeug sozusagen auf dem oberen Rand des U-förmigen Streifens "reitet".Such a holder can be used for holding or storing, in particular, tools, but also other objects, which, depending on their size and / or shape, are either hung or inserted into the U-shaped strips or between the adjacent legs be pressed in by adjacent U-shaped strips. Tools in the form of pliers can also be hung with one of the handles in such a U-shaped strip, the other handle being arranged outside the U-shaped strip and the tool "riding" on the upper edge of the U-shaped strip, so to speak.

Ein solcher, aus mehreren U-förmig gebogenen Streifen bestehender Halter zeichnet sich insbesondere dadurch aus, daß Werkzeuge unterschiedlichster Größe und Bauform an bzw. in ihm gehalten werden können, wobei selbstverständlich auch die Größenausbildung der Streifen bzw. des gesamten Halters eine Rolle spielt. Bei ausreichend großen streifenförmigen Haltemitteln können beispielsweise auch Gartengeräte an einem solchen Halter befestigt oder von diesem gehalten werden, und zwar in der Form, daß das Gerät selbst auf dem Boden eines Raumes aufsteht, mit seinem Stil jedoch zwischen die Haltemittel eines in bestimmter Höhe an der Wand dieses Raumes befestigten Halters gesteckt wird.Such a holder, consisting of a plurality of U-shaped strips, is characterized in particular by the fact that tools of various sizes and designs can be held on or in it, of course also Size formation of the strips or the entire holder plays a role. With sufficiently large strip-shaped holding means, for example, garden tools can also be attached to or held by such a holder in the form that the device itself stands on the floor of a room, but with its style between the holding means at a certain height on the Wall of this room is attached bracket.

Ein besonderes Merkmal eines solchen Halters ist auch, daß dessen Haltefähigkeit bei einer zunehmenden Anzahl zwischen die Haltemittel eingesteckter Gegenstände noch zunimmt. Dies liegt daran, daß die U-förmig gebogenen Streifen mit an ihren beiden Enden ausgebildeten Befestigungsmitteln an der Schiene verschieblich angebracht sind, d.h., wenn ein Gegenstand zwischen zwei Haltemittel gedrückt wird, rücken diese mit ihrem jeweiligen benachbart aneinanderliegenden Schenkeln auf und verschieben sich in der Schiene.A special feature of such a holder is also that its holding capacity increases with an increasing number of objects inserted between the holding means. This is because the U-shaped strips are slidably attached to the rail with fasteners formed at both ends, that is, when an object is pressed between two holding means, they move up with their respective adjacent legs and move in the Rail.

Hierin liegt auch der Grund, daß Gegenstände unterschiedlicher Dicke an dem Halter befestigt werden können, ohne daß deren jeweiligen Schenkel überbeansprucht werden.This is also the reason that objects of different thicknesses can be attached to the holder without their respective legs being overstressed.

Diese verschiebliche Ausbildung der Schenkel der Haltemittel in der Schiene zeigte aber auch den Nachteil, daß bei der Befestigung von nur wenigen und geringe Abmessungen aufweisenden Gegenständen zwischen den Haltemitteln die Federkraft zwischen diesen nicht ausreichte, um die Gegenstände dauerhaft zu harten, insbesondere dann nicht, wenn ein solcher Halter beispielsweise in Fahrzeugen vorgesehen waren, die im Fahrbetrieb ständigen Erschütterungen ausgesetzt sind.This slidable design of the legs of the holding means in the rail also showed the disadvantage that when fastening objects of only a few and small dimensions between the holding means, the spring force between them was not sufficient to permanently harden the objects, especially not when such a holder were provided, for example, in vehicles that are exposed to constant vibrations while driving.

Um hier Abhilfe zu schaffen, wurde bereits in der DE-C-34 90 321 vorgeschlagen, innerhalb eines jeden U-förmig gebogenen Haltemittels ein getrenntes, kleineres Stützglied einzusetzen, das aus einem elastischen, ebenfalls U-förmig gebogenen Körper besteht, dessen Schenkel so gegen die Innenseiten des Haltemittels anliegen, daß das Stützglied die auf den im Halter befestigten Gegenstand einwirkende Preßkraft vermehrt.To remedy this, it was already proposed in DE-C-34 90 321 to use a separate, smaller support member within each U-shaped curved holding means, which consists of an elastic, also U-shaped curved body, the legs of which rest against the inside of the holding means that the support member increases the pressing force acting on the object fastened in the holder.

Diese Kombination eines Haltemittels mit einem innerhalb diesem angeordneten, dem Haltemittel sehr ähnlich ausehenden Stützglied beseitigt zwar den vorbeschriebenen Nachteil, zeigt aber selbst wieder den Nachteil, daß der Innenraum des Haltemittels derart verkleinert bzw. ausgefüllt wird, daß das obenbeschriebene Einhängen eines zwei Griffteile aufweisenden Werkzeuges, beispielsweise einer Zange, erschwert bzw. sogar unmöglich gemacht wird.This combination of a holding means with a support member arranged within it, which looks very similar to the holding means, eliminates the above-described disadvantage, but again shows the disadvantage that the interior of the holding means is reduced or filled in such a way that the above-described hanging of a two Tool having handle parts, for example pliers, is made difficult or even impossible.

Dieser Nachteil wird bei einem in der EP-B-0 211 018 beschriebenen Halter dadurch vermieden, daß die als Streifen ausgebildeten Greifbacken an ihren Flanken und zu den Füßen hin zunehmend elastisch nachgiebiger sind als in ihrem gewölbten Mittelteil, und daß die die Haltemittel bildenden Streifen aus elastischem Material in ihrem Mittelteil breiter sind, um ihnen dort ein größeres Widerstandsmoment zu verleihen als an ihren beiden, die Schenkel der U-Form bildenden Endabschnitten.This disadvantage is avoided in a holder described in EP-B-0 211 018 in that the gripping jaws, which are designed as strips, are increasingly elastically more flexible on their flanks and towards the feet than in their curved middle part, and in that the strips forming the holding means made of elastic material are wider in their middle part in order to give them a greater section modulus than at their two end sections which form the legs of the U-shape.

Durch die breitere Ausbildung der Streifen in ihrem Mittelbereich wird erreicht, daß die schmaleren Enden der jeweiligen Streifen eine größere Spreizneigung zeigen und dadurch die Feder- bzw. Spannkraft zwischen den jeweiligen Haltemitteln erhöht wird.The broader design of the strips in their central region ensures that the narrower ends of the respective strips show a greater tendency to spread and, as a result, the spring or tensioning force between the respective holding means is increased.

Diese Ausführungsform zeigt nun aber wieder den Nachteil, daß über dieses Haltemittel eingehängte Werkzeuge, wie beispielsweise Zangen, wegen der gewölbten Ausbildung insbesondere der oberen, der Auflagerung des Werkzeuges dienenden Kante des U-förmig gebogenen Streifens, zum seitlichen Verrutschen neigen, d.h., das Werkzeug verharrt nicht in der Mitte des U-förmigen Mittelteils des Haltemittels, sondern verlagert sich in Richtung zu dem jeweils rechts oder links benachbarten nächsten Haltemittel und behindert damit das freie Einstecken eines anderen Gegenstandes, beispielsweise eines Schraubenziehers, zwischen die Schenkel zweier solcher benachbarter Haltemittel.However, this embodiment again shows the disadvantage that tools, such as pliers, suspended via this holding means, because of the curved design, in particular the upper edge of the U-shaped strip that serves to support the tool, tend to slide sideways, ie, the tool does not remain in the middle of the U-shaped middle part of the holding means, but shifts in the direction of the next holding means that is adjacent to the right or left and thus hinders the free insertion of another object, for example a screwdriver, between the legs of two such adjacent holding means.

Aufgabe der vorliegenden Erfindung ist es nun, die bei den vorbeschriebenen Ausführungsformen bekannter Halter auftretenden Nachteile zu vermeiden und einen Halter zu schaffen, der Gegenstände und insbesondere Werkzeuge unterschiedlichster Ausbildung aufnehmen und harten kann, ohne daß diese die Handhabung des Halters behindern und insbesondere die ihnen beim Einstecken bzw. Einhängen zugeordnete Position beibehalten.The object of the present invention is now to avoid the disadvantages occurring in the above-described embodiments of known holders and to create a holder which can accommodate and harden objects and in particular tools of various designs without these hindering the handling of the holder and in particular when they are used Insert or retain the assigned position.

Diese Aufgabe wird bei einem Halter der eingangs genannten Art dadurch gelöst, daß der Streifen im Mittelbereich seiner Länge L schmaler als in den beiden die Schenkel bildenden Endbereiche ausgebildet ist und daß auf der Innenseite des Streifens jeweils in der Mitte der breiteren Endbereiche in den von dem U-förmig gebogenen Streifen gebildeten Innenraum einstehende und zum Boden der Schiene gerichtete Versteifungsmittel angeordnet sind.This object is achieved in a holder of the type mentioned in that the strip is formed in the central region of its length L narrower than in the two end regions forming the legs and that on the inside of the strip in the middle of the wider end regions in each of the U-shaped bent strips formed interior stiffening means are arranged and directed towards the bottom of the rail.

Diese schmalere Ausbildung der Streifen in ihrem Mittelteil bewirkt, daß dort eingehängte Werkzeuge, beispielsweise Zangen, in diesem Bereich verbleiben und sich nicht etwa, z.B. bei Erschütterungen des Halters, in den jeweiligen Seitenbereich des Haltemittels bewegen und damit das Einstecken anderer Gegenstände zwischen die jeweilig benachbarten Schenkel der Haltemittel behindern. Die durch diese Maßnahme erfolgte weichere Ausbildung des U-förmig gebogenen Haltemittels wird dadurch kompensiert, daß dieses Versteifungsmittel aufweist, die bei einem stärkeren Zusammendrücken der Schenkel des jeweiligen Haltemittels aktiviert werden und damit die Spannkraft zwischen benachbarten Haltemitteln vergrößern, andererseits jedoch, da sie zur Schiene gerichtet sind, den Innenraum des U-förmig gebogenen Haltemittels nicht derart ausfüllen, daß ein Einstecken bzw. Einhängen eines anderen Gegenstandes in das Haltemittel behindert bzw. sogar unmöglich gemacht wird, sondern im Gegenteil ein in den Innenraum eingesteckter Gegenstand die Versteifungsmittel noch aktiviert, da sie von dem Gegenstand gegen die jeweiligen Schenkel des Haltemittels gedrückt werden und diese dadurch anspannen.This narrower design of the strips in its central part means that tools, for example pliers, which are hung there remain in this area and do not become, e.g. when the holder is shaken, move into the respective side area of the holding means and thus hinder the insertion of other objects between the respectively adjacent legs of the holding means. The softer design of the U-shaped bent holding means achieved by this measure is compensated for by the fact that this stiffening means is activated when the legs of the respective holding means are pressed together more and thus increase the tension force between adjacent holding means, but on the other hand because they are to the rail are directed, do not fill the interior of the U-shaped holding means in such a way that the insertion or hanging of another object into the holding means is impeded or even made impossible, but on the contrary, an object inserted into the interior still activates the stiffening means, since they are pressed by the object against the respective legs of the holding means and thereby tighten them.

Vorteilhaft ist mindestens der obere Rand im Mittelbereich des Streifens bogenförmig eingebuchtet.
Diese Ausbildung des Mittelbereiches der Streifen bewirkt, daß eingehängte Werkzeuge, beispielsweise Zangen, selbst wenn sie nicht exakt im Mittelbereich eingehängt wurden, allein durch die Einwirkung ihres Gewichtes in die Mittellage des Haltemittels rutschen und dort verbleiben, so daß stets Raum genug bleibt, um zwischen zwei benachbarte Haltemittel ein weiteres Werkzeug hineinzudrücken, ohne das erst das bereits vorhandene und in das Haltemittel eingehängte Werkzeug verschoben werden muß.
At least the upper edge in the central region of the strip is advantageously indented in an arc shape.
This design of the central region of the strips causes suspended tools, for example pliers, even if they were not precisely suspended in the central region, to slip and remain in the central position of the holding means solely by the action of their weight, so that there is always enough space to between two adjacent holding means to push in a further tool without first having to move the already existing tool suspended in the holding means.

In vorteilhafter Weiterbildung sind sowohl oberer als auch unterer Rand des Streifens im Mittelbereich bogenförmig eingebuchtet.
Durch diese, sozusagen "symmetrische" Ausbildung des Streifens wird die Herstellung der erfindungsgemäßen Halter erleichtert, es muß nämlich nicht darauf geachtet werden, daß beim Einsetzen der Streifen in die Schiene stets der bogenförmig eingebuchtete Rand nach oben eingesetzt wird. Hierdurch kann insbesondere die Zeit, die für die Herstellung eines Halters benötigt wird, verringert werden.
In an advantageous further development, both the upper and lower edge of the strip are indented in an arc in the central region.
This, so to speak, "symmetrical" design of the strip facilitates the manufacture of the holder according to the invention, because it does not have to be ensured that the arcuate indented edge is always inserted upwards when the strips are inserted into the rail. In this way, in particular the time required for the manufacture of a holder can be reduced.

In erfindungsgemäßer Weiterbildung sind die Versteifungsmittel einstückig am Streifen ausgebildet.
Eine solche Ausführung bietet sich insbesondere dann an, wenn die Haltemittel aus einem Kunststoff hergestellt sind, die Versteifungsmittel können dann in einem einfachen Spritzverfahren ohne Zwischenstufe zusammen mit dem gesamten Haltemittel hergestellt werden.
In a further development according to the invention, the stiffening means are formed in one piece on the strip.
Such an embodiment is particularly useful when the holding means are made of a plastic, the stiffening means can then be made in a simple manner Spraying process without an intermediate stage can be produced together with the entire holding means.

Vorteilhaft sind die Versteifungsmittel als aus dem Streifen herausgeformte Zungen ausgebildet.
Durch eine solche Ausbildung entsteht in den beiden Schenkeln des Streifens jeweils eine Ausnehmung, wodurch die Endbereiche des Haltemittels weicher werden, diese Weichheit jedoch nicht für das Haltevermögen der Haltemittel schädlich ist, da sie durch die im Innenraum des Haltemittels einstehenden Versteifungsmittel auf jeden Fall dann kompensiert wird, wenn die Schenkel der Haltemittel durch das Einstecken von Werkzeugen etc. zusammengedrückt werden. Die durch das Herausformen der zungenförmigen Versteifungsmittel erreichte Weichheit der Schenkel der Haltemittel wirkt sich dann sogar günstig aus, wenn der Halter mit einer großen Anzahl von zwischen die Haltemittel gesteckten Gegenständen angefüllt ist und die Haltemittel dadurch selbst stark zusammengepreßt werden.
The stiffening means are advantageously designed as tongues molded out of the strip.
Such a design creates a recess in each of the two limbs of the strip, as a result of which the end regions of the holding means become softer, but this softness is not detrimental to the holding ability of the holding means, since it is then compensated for in any case by the stiffening means present in the interior of the holding means becomes when the legs of the holding means are pressed together by inserting tools etc. The softness of the legs of the holding means achieved by the shaping of the tongue-shaped stiffening means even has a favorable effect if the holder is filled with a large number of objects inserted between the holding means and the holding means themselves are thereby strongly pressed together.

In weiterer vorteilhafter Ausbildung berühren die Versteifungsmittel den Boden der Schiene bzw. stützen sich auf diesem ab.
Je stärker die Haltemittel durch eingesteckte Gegenstände zusammengedrückt werden, umsomehr wird die versteifende Wirkung der Versteifungsmittel dadurch aktiviert, daß diese sich nicht nur gegeneinander, sondern dann auch auf dem Boden der Schiene abstützen und damit die jeweiligen Schenkel der Haltemittel von der Innenseite her abstützen.
In a further advantageous embodiment, the stiffening means touch the base of the rail or are supported on it.
The more the holding means are pressed together by inserted objects, the more the stiffening effect of the stiffening means is activated in that they are not only supported against each other but also on the bottom of the rail and thus support the respective legs of the holding means from the inside.

Vorteilhaft sind die Versteifungsmittel als zusätzliche Haltemittel für Gegenstände ausgebildet.
Dadurch, daß die Versteifungsmittel in den zur Schiene benachbarten und vom U-förmig gebogenen Streifen gebildeten Innenraum hineinragen und diesen dadurch in kleinere Teilräume unterschiedlicher Größe unterteilen, sind sie selbst geeignet, als zusätzliches Haltemittel für solche Gegenstände zu dienen, die wegen ihrer geringen Größe sonst durch den Innenraum des U-förmig gebildeten Streifens hindurchfallen würden.
The stiffening means are advantageously designed as additional holding means for objects.
Characterized in that the stiffening means protrude into the interior adjacent to the rail and formed by the U-shaped strip and thereby divide them into smaller subspaces of different sizes, they are themselves suitable to serve as additional holding means for objects which, because of their small size, otherwise would fall through the interior of the U-shaped strip.

In weiterer vorteilhafter Ausbildung der Erfindung weist die Schiene ein im wesentlichen U-förmiges Profil auf, bei welchem die freien Enden der beiden Schenkel jeweils rechtwinklig nach innen eingebogen sind.In a further advantageous embodiment of the invention, the rail has an essentially U-shaped profile, in which the free ends of the two legs are each bent inwards at right angles.

Diese Ausbildung des Querschnitts der Schiene gewährleistet ein sicheres Halten der an den Enden der Streifen ausgebildeten Befestigungsmittel, die dem Innenraum des Schienenprofils angepaßt sind.This design of the cross section of the rail ensures a secure holding of the fastening means formed at the ends of the strips, which are adapted to the interior of the rail profile.

Eine beispielhafte Ausführungsform des erfindungsgemäßen Halters wird anhand der Zeichnungen näher erläutert.An exemplary embodiment of the holder according to the invention is explained in more detail with reference to the drawings.

Der Halter 1 bzw. 1' besteht im wesentlichen aus einer beispielsweise mittels eines Flansches 2 bzw. 2' an einer Wand zu befestigenden Schiene 3 bzw. 3', in welcher eine Mehrzahl von U-förmig gebogenen Haltemitteln 4 bzw. 4' befestigt sind. Die Ausführungsformen der Halter 1 bzw. 1' unterscheiden sich nur bei der Ausbildung der Haltemittel 4 bzw. 4', es wird deshalb zunächst nur der Halter 1 weiter beschrieben.The holder 1 or 1 'essentially consists of a rail 3 or 3' to be fastened to a wall, for example by means of a flange 2 or 2 ', in which a plurality of U-shaped holding means 4 or 4' are fastened . The embodiments of the holders 1 and 1 'differ only in the design of the holding means 4 and 4', therefore, only the holder 1 is first described further.

Die Schiene 3 weist, wie aus Fig. 3 ersichtlich, ein U-förmiges Profil auf, dessen Schenkel 5 bzw. 6 an ihren freien Enden um 90° gegeneinander gebogen sind.As can be seen from FIG. 3, the rail 3 has a U-shaped profile, the legs 5 and 6 of which are bent at their free ends by 90 ° with respect to one another.

In den Innenraum 7 des U-förmigen Profils der Schiene 3 stehen die ebenfalls U-förmig gebogenen Haltemittel 4 mit diesem Profil angepaßten Befestigungsmitteln 8 ein und sind in der Schiene 3 längsverschieblich.In the interior 7 of the U-shaped profile of the rail 3 are also the U-shaped holding means 4 with this profile adapted fasteners 8 and are longitudinally displaceable in the rail 3.

Die Haltemittel 4 sind vorzugsweise aus einem elastischen Kunststoff hergestellt und, wie aus Figuren 4 und 5 ersichtlich, im wesentlichen als Streifenform 9 bestimmter Länge L, Breite B, und Dicke D ausgebildet. Diese Abmessungen sind variabel, d.h., je nach den zu haltenden Werkzeugen bzw. Gegenständen, für welche der Halter dienen soll, können diese Abmessungen gewählt werden.The holding means 4 are preferably made of an elastic plastic and, as can be seen from FIGS. 4 and 5, are essentially designed as a strip shape 9 of a certain length L, width B, and thickness D. These dimensions are variable, i.e. depending on the tools or objects to be held for which the holder is to be used, these dimensions can be selected.

Der jedes einzelne Haltemittel 4 bildende Streifen 9 ist nun nicht über seine Länge L mit gleichbleibender Breite B ausgebildet, sondern in seinem Mittelbereich 10 gegenüber seinen Schenkel bildenden Endbereichen 11 bzw. 12 schmaler ausgebildet, wobei diese Verschmälerung in dem Mittelbereich 10 durch bogenförmige Einbuchtungen der Ränder 13 bzw. 14 ausgebildet ist, wobei es auch schon genügt, wenn nur der obere Rand 13' in dieser Form eingebuchtet ist, der untere Rand 14' dagegen geradlinig ausgebildet ist, wie aus Fig. 7, 8 und 9 ersichtlich.The strip 9 forming each individual holding means 4 is now not formed with a constant width B over its length L, but is made narrower in its central region 10 compared to its end regions 11 and 12 forming its legs, this narrowing in the central region 10 by arcuate indentations of the edges 13 or 14 is formed, wherein it is already sufficient if only the upper edge 13 'is indented in this shape, the lower edge 14' is designed in a straight line, as can be seen from FIGS. 7, 8 and 9.

Die an den Enden 15 bzw. 16 des Haltemittels 4 zur Befestigung derselben ausgebildeten Befestigungsmittel 8 korrespondieren in ihrer Form mit dem Innenraum 7 des U-förmigen Profils der Schiene 3 und zeigen folglich Einschnitte 17 bzw. 18, in welche die nach innen eingebogenen Enden der Schenkel 5 bzw. 6 der Schiene 3 hineinragen und damit das Haltemittel 4 gegen ein Herausfallen bzw. Herausreißen aus der Schiene 3 sichern.The at the ends 15 and 16 of the holding means 4 for fastening the same designed fastening means 8 correspond in shape to the interior 7 of the U-shaped profile of the rail 3 and consequently show incisions 17 and 18, in which the inwardly bent ends of the Legs 5 and 6 of the rail 3 protrude and thus secure the holding means 4 against falling out or tearing out of the rail 3.

Auf der Innenseite 19 der Haltemittel 4 sind jeweils in der Mitte der breiteren Endbereiche 11 bzw. 12 Versteifungsmittel 20 bzw. 21 vorgesehen, die, in U-förmig gebogenem und in der Schiene 3 eingesetztem Zustand der Haltemittel 4, wie aus Fig. 6 ersichtlich, gegeneinander und zur Schiene gerichtet sind und sich berühren.On the inside 19 of the holding means 4, stiffening means 20 and 21 are provided in the middle of the wider end regions 11 and 12, respectively, which, in a U-shaped shape and inserted in the rail 3, show the holding means 4, as can be seen in FIG. 6 , are directed towards each other and towards the rail and touch each other.

Diese Versteifungsmittel 20 bzw. 21 nähern sich bzw. kommen gegeneinander zur Anlage, um so mehr, je weiter die Endbereiche 11 bzw. 12 bzw. die von diesem gebildeten Schenkel 11' bzw. 12' der Haltemittel 4 zusammengedrückt werden, beispielsweise durch das Einklemmen einer großen Anzahl von Gegenständen zwischen die jeweiligen Schenkel 11 bzw. 12 der Haltemittel 4. Dadurch, daß die Versteifungsmittel sich gegenseitig abstützen bzw. sich auch auf dem Boden der Schiene 3 abstützen, erhöht sich die Steifigkeit der Haltemittel 4 in ihren Schenkeln 11' bzw. 12', wodurch die Spannkraft zwischen den jeweils benachbarten Haltemitteln 4 und damit die Haltekraft für dazwischen angeordnete Gegenstände erhöht wird.These stiffening means 20 and 21 approach each other or come to rest against each other, the more, the further the end regions 11 or 12 or the legs 11 'or 12' of the holding means 4 formed by them are pressed together, for example by clamping a large number of objects between the respective legs 11 and 12 of the holding means 4. Because the stiffening means mutually supported or also supported on the bottom of the rail 3, the stiffness of the holding means 4 increases in their legs 11 'or 12', whereby the clamping force between the respectively adjacent holding means 4 and thus the holding force for objects arranged therebetween is increased.

Darüber hinaus können diese Versteifungsmittel 20 bzw. 21 als zusätzliche Haltemittel für kleinere Gegenstände dienen, die sonst, wenn sie in den Innenraum 22 der Haltemittel 4 eingesteckt werden, durch diesen wegen des zu großen lichten Raumes hindurchfallen würden. Sollte ein solcher Gegenstand aber größer als der lichte Innenraum zwischen den Versteifungsmitteln 20 bzw. 21 und dem Mittelbereich 10 des Haltemittels 4 sein, wird der Druck auf die Versteifungsmittel 20 bzw. 21 durch das Hineindrücken des Gegenstandes noch erhöht und damit weiter im Sinne der Erfindung eine Erhöhung der Spannkraft zwischen den Schenkeln 11' bzw. 12' der Haltemittel 4 erreicht.In addition, these stiffening means 20 and 21 can serve as additional holding means for smaller objects which, if they were inserted into the interior 22 of the holding means 4, would otherwise fall through the latter due to the excessively clear space. However, should such an object be larger than the clear interior space between the stiffening means 20 or 21 and the central region 10 of the holding means 4, the pressure on the stiffening means 20 or 21 is increased by pushing the object in and thus further in the sense of the invention an increase in the clamping force between the legs 11 'and 12' of the holding means 4 is achieved.

Die bogenförmigen Einbuchtungen 13 bzw. 14 im Mittelbereich 10 der Haltemittel 4 gewährleisten, daß in diesem Bereich eingehängte Gegenstände, beispielsweise Zangen, die mit einem Griff in den Innenraum 22 des Haltemittels 4 einstehen und mit ihrem anderen Griff frei nach außen überhängen, durch ihr Eigengewicht jeweils an die tiefste Stelle dieser Ausbuchtungen 13 bzw. 14 rutschen und sich folglich jeweils genau mittig zu jedem Haltemittel 4 einordnen. Dies bedeutet, daß sie nicht etwa, wie bei Halterungen nach dem Stand der Technik, jeweils zum benachbarten Haltemittel, also zu den Zwischenräumen zwischen den Schenkeln der Haltemittel, hinrutschen und damit das Einstecken von anderen Gegenständen zwischen zwei Haltemitteln behindern.The arcuate indentations 13 and 14 in the central area 10 of the holding means 4 ensure that objects suspended in this area, for example pliers, which protrude into the interior 22 of the holding means 4 with one handle and freely hang outward with their other handle, due to their own weight each slide to the deepest point of these bulges 13 and 14 and consequently arrange themselves exactly in the middle of each holding means 4. This means that they do not slide, as in the case of holders according to the prior art, to the adjacent holding means, that is to say to the spaces between the legs of the holding means, and thus hinder the insertion of other objects between two holding means.
