Description

Die Erfindung betrifft einen Rahmen zur Aufnahme von Plakaten oder dergleichen, mit einem Grundrahmen, an dessen Rändern Frontelemente befestigt sind, die zum Auswechseln des Rahmeninhaltes aus einer Schließstellung in eine Öffnungsstellung und umgekehrt relativ zueinander bewegbar sind.The invention relates to a frame for receiving Posters or the like, with a base frame the edges of which are fastened to the front elements Changing the frame contents from a closed position in an open position and vice versa relative to each other are movable.

Ein derartiger Rahmen ist aus dem deutschen Gebrauchsmuster 296 14 775 bekannt. Die Frontelemente dieses Rahmens sind jeweils über ein Gelenk mit dem Grundrahmen verbunden und einzeln aus der Rahmenfläche herausklappbar, wobei jedes der Gelenke eine Gelenkschale und einen in die Gelenkschale einsetzbaren Gelenkbolzen aufweist. Die Gelenkschale und der Gelenkbolzen sind dabei jeweils an einem Profilelement ausgebildet, wobei eines der Profilelemente ein Rastelement aufweist, das an dem anderen Profilelement an einer kreisbogenförmigen Fläche elastisch angreift, in der eine Rastvertiefung ausgebildet ist.Such a frame is from the German utility model 296 14 775 known. The front elements of this Frames are each hinged to the base frame connected and individually foldable out of the frame surface, each of the joints being a joint cup and a in the joint shell insertable hinge pin. The joint shell and the hinge pin are each formed on a profile element, one of the Profile elements has a locking element on the another profile element on an arc-shaped surface attacks elastically, in which a locking recess is formed is.

Ein gattungsgemäßer Rahmen ist ferner aus der DE 31 32 521 A1 bekannt. Dieser Rahmen weist einen Grundrahmen mit vier einzeln aus der Rahmenfläche herausklappbaren Frontelementen auf. Die Frontelemente, von denen eines eine Verriegelungsvorrichtung aufweist, sind durch Laschen in den Ecken des Grundrahmens miteinander gekoppelt, und zwar derart, daß eine Lasche des einen Frontelements sich mit einem Teil des benachbarten Frontelements überlappt. Zum Öffnen des Rahmens muß das die Verriegelungsvorrichtung aufweisende Frontelement entriegelt und als erstes aus der Rahmenfläche herausgeklappt werden. Dadurch wird ein benachbartes Frontelement zum Herausklappen freigeben, wobei sich die Freigabe der einzelnen Frontelemente in der Reihenfolge ihrer Anordnung fortsetzt. Das dem ersten Frontelement benachbarte letzte Frontelement wird erst dann zum Herausklappen freigegeben, wenn alle anderen Frontelemente zuvor herausgeklappt worden sind.A generic frame is also from the DE 31 32 521 A1 known. This frame has a basic frame with four that can be folded out individually from the frame surface Front elements. The front elements, of which one has a locking device, are by Tabs coupled in the corners of the base frame, in such a way that a tab of one front element with part of the adjacent front element overlaps. To open the frame, the must Front element having locking device unlocked and first folded out of the frame area become. This creates an adjacent front element release to fold out, the Release of the individual front elements in the order continues their order. The first front element Only then will the adjacent last front element become the Fold out released when all other front elements have been folded out beforehand.

Das Auswechseln des Rahmeninhaltes ist insbesondere bei dem letztgenannten Rahmen relativ umständlich, da sich die Frontelemente nur einzeln in einer ganz bestimmten Reihenfolge nacheinander in ihre Öffnungsstellung bzw. Schließstellung bringen lassen.The replacement of the content of the frame is particularly important for the latter framework relatively cumbersome, because the front elements only in a very specific one Order one after the other into their open position or Have the closed position brought.

Der Erfindung liegt die Aufgabe zugrunde, einen Rahmen der eingangs genannten Art dahingehend zu verbessern, daß das Öffnen bzw. Schließen der Frontelemente schnell und einfach durchgeführt werden kann.The invention has for its object a framework of the type mentioned to improve in that opening and closing the front elements quickly and can be done easily.

Diese Aufgabe wird erfindungsgemäß dadurch gelöst, daß die Frontelemente mit einem Öffnungs- und Schließmechanismus versehen sind, der beim Offnen bzw. Schließen eines Frontelements gleichzeitig die übrigen Frontelemente öffnet bzw. schließt.This object is achieved in that the front elements with an opening and closing mechanism are provided when opening or closing of a front element simultaneously the other front elements opens or closes.

Die Handhabung des erfindungsgemäßen Rahmens gestaltet sich somit besonders einfach. Denn dessen Öffnungs- und Schließmechanismus reduziert die Anzahl der für das Öffnen bzw. Schließen aller Frontelemente erforderlichen Handgriffe auf ein Minimum. Das Öffnen bzw. Schließen des Rahmens kann dabei an einem beliebigen Frontelement vorgenommen werden. Dies ist insbesondere dann von Vorteil, wenn der Rahmen relativ große Abmessungen aufweist und so montiert ist, daß einzelne Frontelemente nur über eine Leiter oder dergleichen erreichbar sind.The handling of the frame according to the invention is designed is particularly easy. Because its opening and Locking mechanism reduces the number of for the Opening or closing of all front elements required Hand movements to a minimum. Opening or closing the The frame can be made on any front element become. This is particularly advantageous if the frame has relatively large dimensions and so is mounted that individual front elements only over one Head or the like can be reached.

Nunmehr läßt sich ein schlecht erreichbares Frontelement über ein besser erreichbares Frontelement mitbetatigen. Now a front element that is difficult to access can be found also help with a more accessible front element.

Eine bevorzugte Ausgestaltung der Erfindung besteht darin, daß der Öffnungs- und Schließmechanismus aus einem Drehgelenk mit daran gelenkig befestigten Schubstangen gebildet ist. Das Drehgelenk kann dabei insbesondere aus einem an einem Zapfen drehbar gelagerten Ringkörper bestehen, der zur Befestigung der Schubstangenenden mindestens zwei diametral gegenüberliegende Gelenkvorsprünge aufweist. Eine vorteilhafte Kraftübertragung wird erreicht, wenn der Ringkörper vier Gelenkvorsprünge aufweist, die gleichmäßig über den Umfang des Ringkörpers verteilt sind.There is a preferred embodiment of the invention in that the opening and closing mechanism from one Swivel joint with pushrods attached to it is formed. The swivel can be made in particular an annular body rotatably mounted on a pin exist to attach the push rod ends at least two diametrically opposed joint projections having. An advantageous power transmission is achieved when the ring body has four joint projections has that evenly over the circumference of the ring body are distributed.

Nach einer anderen vorteilhaften Ausgestaltung sind die dem Drehgelenk abgewandten Schubstangenenden über in der Länge verstellbare Gelenkstangen jeweils mit einem zugeordneten Frontelement gekoppelt. Die längenverstellbaren Gelenkstangen ermöglichen eine exakte Feineinstellung der Öffnungs- bzw. Schließstellung der Frontelemente in bezug auf die mit dem Drehgelenk verbundenen Schubstangen.According to another advantageous embodiment, the the push rod ends facing away from in the Adjustable joint rods each with an associated Coupled front element. The length adjustable Articulated rods allow an exact fine adjustment of the Opening or closing position of the front elements in relation on the connecting rods connected to the swivel joint.

Eine besonders sichere und bequeme Handhabung der Frontelemente ergibt sich, wenn diese gemäß einer weiteren Ausgestaltung mit Gasdruckfedern am Grundrahmen angelenkt sind.Particularly safe and convenient handling of the front elements results if this is according to another Design articulated with gas springs on the base frame are.

Wenn eines der Frontelemente mit einer Verriegelungsvorrichtung versehen ist, übernimmt der Öffnungs- und Schließmechanismus zudem eine Verriegelungsfunktion für die übrigen Frontelemente, so daß auch diese gegen ein unbefugtes Öffnen gesichert sind. Vorzugsweise kann die Verriegelungsvorrichtung dabei aus einer Stangenverriegelung bestehen.If one of the front elements with a locking device is provided, the opening and Locking mechanism also has a locking function for the other front elements, so that these also against one unauthorized opening are secured. Preferably, the Locking device from a rod lock consist.

Eine besonders stabile Verriegelung läßt sich erzielen, wenn die Verriegelungsvorrichtung im verriegelten Zustand an zwei beabstandeten Frontelementen gleichzeitig eingreift. A particularly stable locking can be achieved when the locking device is in the locked state engages simultaneously on two spaced front elements.

Nachstehend wird die Erfindung anhand einer ein Ausführungsbeispiel darstellenden Zeichnung näher beschrieben.The invention is based on a Exemplary embodiment drawing closer described.

In the transition area between the Bracing 27 and the outer portion 25 are the most Base frame 2 attached hinges 7 articulated. The Joint axes of the hinges 7 are in the drawing denoted by the reference symbol S.

Die Frontelemente haben ferner jeweils zwei T-Nuten 28, 29. Die im Winkelbereich der Verstrebung 27 angeordnete T-Nut 28 dient der Befestigung eines mit der Gelenkstange 20 verbundenen Gelenkhebels 30 (vgl. Fig. 5). Darüber hinaus ist an dieser T-Nut ein Gelenkhebel 31 befestigt, an dem eine Gasdruckfeder 32 angelenkt ist, deren anderes Ende mit einem am Grundrahmen 2 befestigten Gelenkwinkel 33 gekoppelt ist (vgl. Fig. 8). Die Gelenkstangen 29 und die Gasdruckfedern 32 können dabei in seitlichen Öffnungen 34 des Grundrahmens 2 bewegt werden.The front elements also each have two T-slots 28, 29. The one arranged in the angular region of the strut 27 T-slot 28 is used to attach one with the joint rod 20 connected articulated lever 30 (see. Fig. 5). About that an articulated lever 31 is also attached to this T-slot, on which a gas pressure spring 32 is articulated, the other End with a hinge bracket attached to the base frame 2 33 is coupled (see FIG. 8). The link rods 29 and the gas pressure springs 32 can in lateral Openings 34 of the base frame 2 are moved.

Die im abgewinkelten Innenabschnitt 26 der Frontelemente ausgebildete T-Nut 29 dient hingegen der Befestigung einer Verriegelungsvorrichtung, die nachfolgend mit Bezug auf die Figuren 9 bis 11 beschrieben wird. Die T-Nuten 28, 29 ermöglichen eine Ausrichtung bzw. Verschiebung der daran befestigten Elemente 30, 31, 35.That in the angled inner section 26 of the front elements trained T-groove 29, however, is used for attachment a locking device, the following with reference 9 to 11 is described. The T-slots 28, 29 enable alignment or displacement of the elements 30, 31, 35 attached thereto.

Das Öffnen bzw. Schließen des Rahmens 1 kann an einem beliebigen Frontelement 3, 4, 5, 6 ausgeführt werden, indem eines der Frontelemente aus der Rahmenflache herausgeklappt bzw. in die Rahmenfläche eingeklappt wird. Das Herausklappen bzw. Einklappen des gewählten Frontelements bewirkt, daß die daran befestigte Gelenkstange 20 die zugehörige Schubstange 10, die ihrerseits am Drehgelenk 9 angelenkt ist, um eine Hublänge verschiebt, die proportional dem Schwenkwinkel der Klappbewegung ist. Gleichzeitig werden die übrigen Frontelemente heraus-bzw. eingeklappt, wobei das Drehgelenk 9 sicherstellt, daß alle Schubstangen 10 synchron um die gleich Hublänge verschoben werden. Der maximale Schwenkwinkel der Frontelemente 3, 4, 5, 6 kann dabei beispielsweise 45° betragen (vgl. Fig. 5 und 6). Dieser Schwenkwinkel genügt, um den Rahmeninhalt für ein Auswechseln zugänglich zu machen.The opening or closing of the frame 1 can be done on one any front element 3, 4, 5, 6 can be executed, by one of the front elements from the frame area is folded out or folded into the frame surface. Folding out or folding in the selected front element causes the articulated rod attached to it 20 the associated push rod 10, which in turn on Swivel joint 9 is articulated, displaces by a stroke length, which is proportional to the swivel angle of the folding movement. At the same time, the other front elements are moved out or in. folded, the swivel 9 ensures that all push rods 10 synchronously by the same stroke length be moved. The maximum swivel angle of the front elements 3, 4, 5, 6 can for example be 45 ° amount (see. Fig. 5 and 6). This swivel angle is sufficient to make the frame content accessible for a replacement close.

Fig. 7 zeigt eine seitliche Schnittansicht des Rahmens. Der Öffnungs- und Schließmechanismus ist hier nicht dargestellt, so daß die Ausgestaltung der Profilteile leichter erkennbar ist. Der Rahmen ist an einem Wandhaken 36 aufgehängt, der durch eine rückseitige Öffnung formschlüssig in den Grundrahmen 2 eingreift. Ferner sind zwei formschlüssig ineinandergreifende Winkelelemente 37, 38 vorhanden, durch die der Rahmen 1 gegen ein unbefugtes Abhängen gesichert ist. Das innenliegende Winkelelement 38, das einen am Grundrahmen 2 anliegenden Schenkel 39 aufweist, ist hierzu mit einer Gewindebohrung 40 versehen, in die eine Sicherungsschraube (nicht gezeigt) eingedreht wird. Die Sicherungsschraube wird dabei gegen das an der Wand 41 befestigte außenliegende Winkelelement 37 verspannt, wobei eine in den Grundrahmen 2 vorstehende Nase 42 ein Abheben des Rahmens 1 zuverlässig verhindert.Fig. 7 shows a side sectional view of the frame. The opening and closing mechanism is not here shown so that the design of the profile parts is easier to recognize. The frame is on a wall hook 36 hung, the form-fitting through a rear opening engages in the base frame 2. Furthermore are two interlocking angular elements 37, 38 available through which the frame 1 against unauthorized Hanging is secured. The inside corner element 38, which has a leg 39 resting on the base frame 2 has a threaded hole 40 for this purpose, into which a locking screw (not shown) is turned. The locking screw is against the external angle element attached to the wall 41 37 clamped, one protruding into the base frame 2 Nose 42 reliably prevents lifting of the frame 1.

Wie Fig. 9 zeigt, ist das untere Frontelement 6 mit einer Verriegelungsvorrichtung 35 versehen. Die Verriegelungsvorrichtung 35 besteht aus einem Schubstangenschloß 43 und zwei damit gekoppelten, in entgegengesetzte Richtungen verschiebbaren Verriegelungsstangen 44, 45. Die Verriegelungsstangen 44, 45 sind in mehreren Gleitführungen 46 gehalten, die die Stabilität der Verriegelungsvorrichtung 35 erhöhen. Im verriegelten Zustand greifen sie mit einem ausreichenden Verriegelungshub H in benachbarte Frontelemente 5a, 6a ein. Der Öffnungs- und Schließmechanismus 8 übernimmt dabei insbesondere fur die von der Verriegelungsvorrichtung 35 nicht unmittelbar erfaßten Frontelemente 3, 4, 5 eine Verriegelungsfunktion, so daß der Rahmen 1 gegen ein unbefugtes Öffnen insgesamt zuverlässig gesichert ist.As shown in FIG. 9, the lower front element 6 has a Locking device 35 provided.
