Definitions

• the invention relates to a holder for the orderly hanging of rod, strip or plate-shaped objects, e.g. Sports equipment, tools and stick devices, at least consisting of two clamping jaws which are rotatably held on a base part and can be moved as a function of one another.
• a holder for the orderly hanging of rod, strip or plate-shaped objects e.g. Sports equipment, tools and stick devices
• at least consisting of two clamping jaws which are rotatably held on a base part and can be moved as a function of one another.
• a known embodiment of such a holder serves to hang up a pair of skis and has two clamping jaws which are opposite one another in mirror image with respect to a vertical plane and which are held rotatably about horizontal axes aligned parallel to one another. This requires a very precise adjustment of the jaws so that they can also be used as holders for objects of different thicknesses. There should be a corresponding clamping force whether the object to be hung is relatively thin, a correspondingly larger diameter, e.g. with a stick device, or a greater thickness, e.g. for ski pairs.
• the mutually facing surfaces of the clamping jaws are convexly curved, the distance between the imaginary, arc-forming, parallel to the axis generators from the axis of rotation from the lowest arc section to the uppermost arc section increases.
• the present invention has for its object to provide a holder of the type mentioned, with which an orderly hanging both relatively thin and thicker parts is made possible in the same way.
• the jaws project freely at one end and at least approximately parallel to one another in their clamping position and are rotatably held on the base part at their other end about axes extending transversely to their longitudinal direction, the two axes being at least approximately in one plane lie and enclose an angle with the tip pointing upwards in the position of use.
• the axes for the rotatable mounting of the clamping jaws are formed by axle bolts projecting freely from the base part over the side boundaries thereof.
• a more effective embodiment seen from the point of view of stability, provides that the axes for the rotatable mounting of the clamping jaws are formed by axis bolts aligned at right angles to the axes and penetrating slots in the base part.
• axle pins held on both sides of a slot in the base part, on which the clamping jaws are rotatably mounted.
• forces are generated not only by the axle bolts, but also by the side walls of the slots, which arise when objects are hung in the direction transverse to the clamping jaws.
• An expedient variant provides that the lower ends of the slots in the position of use form a stop against further rotation of the clamping jaws.
• Such an embodiment is only useful for very specific purposes, since after the final pressing of the clamping jaws against one another, further pivoting of the clamping jaws downwards is prevented by the inventive design of the axes and the special pivotability of the clamping jaws.
• the special mounting of the rotatable clamping jaws enables a particularly effective and simple arrangement of the mutual operative connection between the clamping jaws.
• the clamping jaws be operatively connected to one another via bolts, pins or the like.
• a very simple construction provides that the bolts, pins or the like for the rotatable mounting of the jaws are arranged at a distance from the axes, a bolt, pin or the like being firmly inserted in one jaw, cantilevered freely against the other jaws and in a hole formed on the other clamping jaw engages with a larger diameter than the diameter of the bolt, pin or the like.
• This measure according to the invention ensures a very simple synchronism between the clamping jaws, the different configuration of the diameter between the bolt and the corresponding bore making it possible to compensate for the pivoting planes of the two clamping jaws which are at an appropriate angle to one another.
• the freely projecting end of the bolt, pin or the like has a spherical head with a diameter that is the same or slightly smaller than the bore. This causes the bolt to engage in the bore of the other clamping jaw in the manner of a ball joint, so that the two clamping jaws can be rotated with one another practically without play.
• the invention has now created a possibility in that the clamping jaws can be raised by means of a lever and thus held rotatable about the axes, the lever having a tab which engages in the clamping jaws and / or the axis pin region thereof, which disengages from its suspended position when the opening position is sufficient and releases the jaws. It must therefore be pivoted upwards when inserting the object to be hung up the lever projecting the clamping jaws in the lower rest position until the clamping jaws are sufficiently far up and thus pivoted apart to accommodate the object to be hung. The jaws can then move down automatically by their own weight after unhooking the lever and thus take over the clamping effect.
• the tab is designed to be spring-loaded for a new engagement when the lever and the clamping jaws have reached the rest position.
• Holders according to the invention are generally used in the household, in a workshop, on a public square or in public buildings, ie the holder and the elements interacting therewith must also be able to be operated by laypersons without the holder failing to function or being damaged .
• the lever has a cross piece as a stop part for objects to be inserted into the holder at its freely projecting end. It is therefore only necessary to press the object to be inserted and to move it slightly upwards in order to adjust the lever and the clamping jaws accordingly.
• This user-friendly design is further improved by the stop part of the lever to form a Centering aid backwards towards the base part has an indentation, a kink or the like. It is therefore only necessary to place the object to be hung on the lever, so that a corresponding centering of the object to be hung is practically guaranteed by itself with regard to the subsequent insertion between the two clamping jaws.
• the lever for the rotatable mounting of the clamping jaws is held on the base part so as to be rotatable approximately parallel to one of the axes.
• the clamping jaws have an insert or a covering made of elastic and / or friction-increasing material at their mutually facing regions, that is to say in their clamping region, in a manner known per se.
• This enables gentle hanging of all kinds of objects.
• the clamping jaws leave a lens-shaped opening free, at least in the closed clamping position. In this opening, both parts of small and parts of relatively large diameters can be gripped without any problems, i.e. a large diameter range can be grasped without any problems due to the special clamping effect, also depending on the downward force of the object to be used.
• the inserts provided on the mutually facing regions of the clamping jaws engage in a cross-section transverse to the longitudinal direction of the clamping jaws in their clamping position, in the manner of a tongue and groove connection, wherein Tongue and groove follow one another in the manner of a waveform and the opposite clamping jaw has a corresponding cross-sectional shape. Therefore, even relatively thin parts are held very securely, since pressing is possible long before the clamping jaws are in their final rest position.
• each clamping jaw has a wave-shaped elevation and a wave-shaped depression throughout its entire length.

• the holder 1 for the orderly hanging of rod, strip or plate-shaped objects essentially consists of two clamping jaws 2 and 3, which are rotatably held on a base part 4 and can be moved in dependence on one another.
• Such holders are usually used to hang sports equipment, e.g. Ski pairs, ski poles, snowboards, tools of all kinds or from stick devices.
• a single holder with two jaws is described and shown in the drawing, it being entirely possible to arrange a plurality of such holders in a row or, for example, to mount them on a uniform rail, or that a correspondingly long rail forms the base part 4 , on which corresponding clamping jaws are then mounted in a corresponding manner in a multiple arrangement.
• the jaws 2, 3 project freely at one end 5, 6.
• the other end of the clamping jaws 2, 3 is rotatable about axes 7, 8 extending transversely to their longitudinal direction.
• the two axes 7, 8 lie approximately in one plane, for example in a plane parallel to the front 9 or to the rear 10 of the base part 4, and thereby enclose an angle ⁇ , the tip 11 of which, in the position of use of the holder, faces upwards.
• the axes 7 and 8 for the rotatable mounting of the clamping jaws 2, 3 are formed by axle bolts 12, 13 which penetrate slots 14, 15 aligned at right angles to the axes 7, 8.
• the side boundaries of these slots 14, 15 thus form an additional guide and an even better mounting of the clamping jaws 2 and 3.
• the clamping jaws 2, 3 are operatively connected to one another, i.e. they can only be moved as a function of one another.
• a bolt 20 is provided, which is arranged to support the clamping jaws 2, 3 at a distance from the axes 7, 8 and is firmly inserted into a bore 21 of the one clamping jaw 3.
• the other end of the bolt 20 engages in a bore 22 which has a larger diameter than the diameter of the bolt 20.
• the different pivoting plane of the two clamping jaws 2 and 3 must be taken into account here.
• a ball head 23 is provided at the freely projecting end of the bolt 20, the diameter of which is approximately matched to the diameter of the bore 22.
• the diameter of the ball head 23 is therefore approximately the same or slightly smaller than the diameter of the bore 22.
• FIG. 7 Another possibility of mutually establishing an operative connection between the clamping jaws 2 and 3 can be seen in FIG. 7.
• the two clamping jaws can be moved in dependence on one another via their axle bolts 12 and 13.
• the axle bolts 12, 13 are coupled to one another at their mutually directed ends 24, 25 in a rotationally fixed manner.
• the axle bolts 12, 13 are held in the jaws 2, 3 in a rotationally fixed manner and can rotate accordingly within the base part 4.
• a corresponding joint is to be provided to compensate for the axle bolts 12, 13 which meet at an angle, a type of universal joint 26 being provided in the example shown.
• spring synchronization could be provided.

• synchronism via bevel gears or a bevel gear transmission would be conceivable.
• Such a construction is also to be integrated into the base part and is therefore not to be provided in the area of the clamping jaws itself, so that the clamping jaws could be used right up to the surface of the base plate. It would also be conceivable to provide a type of link belt, the two ends of this belt being connected to a clamping jaw.

• a corresponding notch 29 is provided in the end 24, into which the pawl-like free end 30 of the tab 28 engages. If the lever 27 is moved upwards by pressing an object to be suspended from the arrow direction 31 by correspondingly pivoting it in the direction of the arrow 32, it pivots about the axle pin 33.
• the tab 28 causes twisting by its engagement in the end 24 of the axle pin 12 of the axle pin 12 and through the universal joint 26 also of the axle pin 13 and thus a pivoting of the jaws 2 and 3 upwards.
• the tab 28 snaps out with the pawl 30 and the jaws 2 and 3 are released and can thus fall down again.
• the object to be hung is already inserted between the two jaws 2 and 3. So there is a proper mounting of the object to be hung. If the object is now to be removed again, it only requires a slight lifting and pulling out, so that the clamping jaws 2, 3 can pivot into their lower rest position.
• the lever 27 can also pivot freely downward again and the tab 28 with its pawl 30 engage again, with a spring 34, which is designed, for example, in the form of a leaf spring secure latching of the tab 28 is made possible.

• the lever 27 is held rotatably about the axle pin 33, the axle pin 33 being aligned parallel to the axis 7 of the clamping jaw 2. It would also be conceivable that the lever 27 is pivoted about a horizontal axis, but then the engagement in one of the axle bolts 12 or 13 for the forced lifting of the clamping jaws 2 and 3 is no longer so easy to carry out.
