The base plate has guide means such as Example grooves, for guide parts, for example pins, of the wedge resting on the backrest support.

Zur Verhinderung des unbeabsichtigten Herausziehens der Lehne aus dem Gehäuse, ist neben der Reihe von Vertiefungen oder Durchbrüchen an deren unterem Ende seitlich eine weitere Vertiefung oder ein Durchbruch angeordnet und über dieser Vertiefung oder diesem Durchbruch ist ein federnd beaufschlagtes Rastmittel für das Einrasten in die weitere Vertiefung oder den weiteren Durchbruch angeordnet. Vorzugsweise ist das Rastmittel ein Rastarm, der bei Zug des Lehnenträgers nach oben einrastet, bei Einschieben diesen jedoch wieder freigibt. Dieser Rastarm kann zum Beispiel schwenkbar in der Grundplatte gelagert sein.To prevent accidental pulling out of the Back from the case is next to the series of Indentations or breakthroughs at the lower end another depression or breakthrough on the side arranged and over this recess or this Breakthrough is a spring-loaded locking device for snapping into the further recess or further breakthrough ordered. Preferably that is Latching means a locking arm, which when the backrest support is pulled clicks upwards, but when inserted releases again. This locking arm can, for example be pivotally mounted in the base plate.

Im folgenden wird die Erfindung anhand von Zeichnungen beispielhaft näher beschrieben. Dabei zeigen:

  • Fig. 1 bis 3 eine Höhenverstellung in drei Ansichten, davon Fig. 1 eine Draufsicht bei Weglassen des oberen Gehäuseteils, Fig. 2 einen Schnitt entlang der Linie A - A und Fig. 3 einen Schnitt entlang der Linie B - B von Fig. 1;
  • Fig. 4a bis Fig. 6c Einzelteile aus Fig. 1.
  • The invention is described in more detail below by way of example with reference to drawings. Show:
  • 1 to 3 a height adjustment in three views, of which FIG. 1 is a plan view when the upper housing part is omitted, FIG. 2 is a section along the line AA and FIG. 3 is a section along the line BB of FIG. 1 ;
  • 4a to 6c individual parts from FIG. 1.
  • Die Höhenverstellung gemäß den Fig. 1 bis 6c besteht aus einem flachen Gehäuse 1 mit in wesentlichen rechteckigem Querschnitt, in dem ein flacher Lehnenträger 2 gleitend geführt und festklemmbar ist. Das Gehäuse kann unten verlängert und mit einem Sitzträger verbunden sein. Es kann auch andere Dimensionen haben, als dargestellt und gebogen ausgeführt sein.The height adjustment shown in FIGS. 1 to 6c from a flat housing 1 with essentially rectangular cross-section in which a flat Backrest support 2 is slidably guided and clampable. The case can be extended and with a bottom Be connected to the seat support. Others can Have dimensions as shown and curved be executed.

    Der Lehnenträger 2 weist entlang seiner Mittelachse eine Reihe von Bohrungen 3 auf, die die jeweilige Einstecktiefe definieren. In einer dieser Bohrungen 3 sitzt eine Rastkugel 4, die von einer Klemmschräge 5' eines Schiffchens 5 in die Bohrung gepreßt wird. Der Preßdruck resultiert aus einer Feder 6, die sich in einer Grundplatte 7 abstützt, die in dem Gehäuse 1, beispielsweise durch Schrauben 17 oder Rastnasen, befestigt ist. Die Grundplatte 7 weist auch eine Nut 16 auf, in der das Schiffchen 5 gleiten kann und auf der der Feder 6 entgegengesetzten Seite einen Anschlag findet. An dieser Seite liegt an dem Schiffchen 5 ein Taster 8 an mit dem es gegen die Kraft der Feder 6 zurückgedrückt werden kann, worauf die Klemmschräge 5' die Kugel 4 freigibt und die Lehne verschoben werden kann, bis die gewünschte Einstecktiefe erreicht ist und der Taster 8 wieder losgelassen wird. Der Taster 8 weist eine flache Ausnehmung 8' auf, in die eine kleine Feder 9 bei der Montage einrastet, so daß der Taster 8 nicht mehr herausgezogen werden kann. Diese Maßnahme verhindert das unbeabsichtigte Lösen des Tasters 8 und bietet die Möglichkeit, in der gleichen Höhenverstellung problemlos unterschiedlich gestaltete Taster einsetzen zu können. Da die Grundplatte 7 vorzugsweise aus Kunststoff hergestellt ist, ist in den Bereich in dem die Kugel 4 gegen die Klemmschräge 5' drückt, eine Metallscheibe 21 eingelassen, um eine dauerhafte Funktion zu gewährleisten.The backrest support 2 points along its central axis a series of holes 3 on the respective Define insertion depth. In one of these holes 3 sits a locking ball 4, which is from a clamping slope 5 ' a boat 5 is pressed into the bore. The Pressing pressure results from a spring 6, which is in a base plate 7 which is supported in the housing 1, for example by screws 17 or locking lugs, is attached. The base plate 7 also has a groove 16 on, in which the boat 5 can slide and on the the spring 6 opposite side a stop finds. On this side lies on the boat 5 Push button 8 with which it acts against the force of the spring 6 can be pushed back, whereupon the clamping slope 5 ' the ball 4 releases and the backrest are moved can until the desired insertion depth is reached and button 8 is released again. The button 8 has a flat recess 8 'into which a small Spring 9 engages during assembly so that the button 8 can no longer be pulled out. This measure prevents the buttons 8 and offers the opportunity in the same Height adjustment easily designed differently To be able to use buttons. Since the base plate 7 is preferably made of plastic is in the Area in which the ball 4 against the bevel 5 ' presses a metal disc 21 embedded to one to ensure permanent function.

    Die Grundplatte 7 erstreckt sich von der Seite des Tasters 8 aus über den großen Teil der Grundfläche des Gehäuses 1 und weist eine Lauffläche und eine Anschlagkante für den Lehnenträger 2 auf. Auf der anderen Seite liegt der Lehnenträger 2 an einer Stufe 11' der geraden Seite eines Keils 11 an, der mit seiner Schräge 11'' an der Schräge 10'' eines zweiten Keils 10 anliegt, der wiederum mit seiner geraden Seite an der Gehäuseinnenwand anliegt. Der zweite Keil 10 ist an seinem breiten Ende von einer Druckfeder 12 beaufschlagt, die sich in einem Vorsprung 13 der Grundplatte abstützt. Die Feder 12 drückt den Keil 10 in der Darstellung von Fig. 1 nach oben, wodurch über die Schrägen 10'' und 11'' eine seitliche Kraft auf den Lehnenträger 2 geleitet wird, der so spielfrei geführt ist. Die Grundplatte 7 weist Nuten 15 auf, die zum ersten Keil 11 hin offen sind und Führungszapfen 14 gleitend aufnehmen (Fig. 4c und 4e). Damit ist dieser Keil 11 geführt und kann nicht ausweichen. The base plate 7 extends from the side of the Button 8 from over the large part of the base of Housing 1 and has a tread and Stop edge for the backrest support 2. On the on the other side, the backrest support 2 lies on a step 11 'of the straight side of a wedge 11 with its Slope 11 '' on the slope 10 '' of a second wedge 10 is applied, which in turn with its straight side on the The inner wall of the housing is in contact. The second wedge 10 is on its broad end by a compression spring 12 acts in a projection 13 of the Base plate supported. The spring 12 presses the wedge 10 1 upwards, which means about the slopes 10 '' and 11 '' exert a lateral force on the Backrest support 2 is guided, which is performed without play is. The base plate 7 has grooves 15 which for first wedge 11 are open and guide pin 14 record sliding (Fig. 4c and 4e). So this is Wedge 11 out and can not avoid.

    Die Höhenverstellung ist mit einer Auszugsicherung versehen, die in den Fig. 1 und 3 versetzt dargestellt ist. Diese Auszugsicherung weist eine Bohrung 22 auf, die tatsächlich neben der letzten Bohrung 3 für die Rastkugel, oder in Fig. 1 noch darunter liegen soll. Über dieser Bohrung 22 ist in einer Ausnehmung 18 der Grundplatte 7 ein schwenkbarer Rastarm 19 angeordnet, der von einer in der Grundplatte 7 abgestützten Feder 20 so beaufschlagt ist, daß seine Rastnase 19' - wie in Fig. 3 dargestellt, in die Bohrung 22 gedrückt wird, sobald die Lehne entsprechend weit herausgezogen wird. Die Lehne wird dann blockiert. Das Einschieben wird von dem Rastarm 19 nicht behindert, da er in dieser Richtung eine Ablaufschräge aufweist.The height adjustment is with a pull-out protection provided, shown offset in Figs. 1 and 3 is. This pull-out protection has a bore 22, which is actually next to the last hole 3 for the Locking ball, or in Fig. 1 should still be below. About this bore 22 is in a recess 18 Base plate 7 a pivotable locking arm 19 is arranged, of a spring supported in the base plate 7 20 is so acted that its latch 19 '- as in 3, is pressed into the bore 22, as soon as the backrest is pulled out far enough.
