  • Figures 8 to 12 show connection units, which only in Connection with a folding stock solution are relevant.
  • connection unit 21 a which is Plug element 28 and the receptacle 29 constructed on a cylindrical basis and has a relatively long coverage path. Due the special configuration is a simple assembly of the Positions 28 and 29 possible and the large path of coverage leads to a very stable connection unit. Such a solution is in the Usually only with an elastic tie rod, which is a very flat one Has characteristic, can be implemented. When using a non-elastic Tie rod is, as Figure 1 'shows, due to the addition of the relative long wing lengths at the individual connection points are difficult realizable.
  • the tubes 26 and 27 are at positions 28 and 29 firmly connected and are part of the folding elements.
  • Figure 9 is designed so that due to the only small Leaf lengths, both elastic and non-elastic tie rods 9, 9 ' or 9 '' can be used. Because of the conical merging is a very simple and stable centering merge guaranteed.
  • the tubes 26 and 27 are at positions 30 and 31 firmly connected and are part of the folding elements.
  • connection unit is shown due to its elongated shafts a particularly stable transition situation to Consequence.
  • Merging the one marked with position 34 Plug element with cone outside and thread inside with the Receiving cone and thread inside position 35 is similarly elegant solved as in the representation under Figure 9.
  • the advantage of such The solution is that a very weakly dimensioned tie rod is used who only has the task of positions 34 and 35 after unfolding the stick with each other via the cone elements to center and has only such a slight axial force that Male and female threads of the connecting unit 21c with each other Has contact. If this is the case, the stick only needs handle 10 held and rotated on the tube 15 so that all Connect screw connections with each other and therefore inevitably an axial holding force is generated via the conical connections.
  • the tie rod 9 is no additional Axial forces imposed.
  • FIG. 11 shows a section through a connecting unit 21d conical plug element 32 and receiving element 33 in connection with external threads and pre-tensioned elastic Tie rod 9 before coupling.
  • the elastic tie rod already has the elements 32 and 33 merged up to the thread contact. Here is only by mutually twisting the path S 3 to bridge and inside and To clamp the outer cone together.
  • the eccentric 39 is firmly connected to the tube 26 and has the task of Documentation 36, the elastic elements 37 and the braking elements 38 with the help of the federal government 83 and 84. These three elements are included a certain preload and on their contact surfaces glued together, and so dimensionally matched that the Brake element 38 in a position according to FIG. 14 constantly one generates low friction. This frictional force is sufficient for Turn the eccentric from position according to Figure 14 in position According to FIG. 15, there is no displacement between the brake element 38 and pipe 25 takes place. The more the eccentric 39 according to the position Position Figure 15 approaches, the greater the contact force, i. H.
  • the Frictional force or the axial holding force corresponds to that of User set and locked insert length.
  • the big advantage when using such a clamping element this is so combined short design and the extremely short twist angle when tensioning.
  • the short design has a particularly advantageous effect a telescopic device according to FIG. 3.
  • An elastic one Guide ring 18 has the task of playing between the tubes 25 and Eliminate 26 and avoid rattling noises.
  • the ring 17 has the task with the help of its larger outside diameter and one rough surface to increase the torque that can be generated by hand.
  • FIG. 16 shows a section through a telescopic device clamped clamping device 78 and conical ring 44 by twisting a nut 43 facing the conical ring 44 also has an inclined contact surface, generates an axial force, which is supported on the tube 41 and the threaded ring 42.
  • the axial force introduced becomes a much higher radial force implemented. It is important that the coefficient of friction between the Nut 43 and the brake element 44 small and the coefficient of friction between brake element 44 and tube 45 is large. This leads to with a relatively low torque on the nut a relative high holding force between the brake element 44 and the tube 45 is produced.
  • Figure 18 shows a section through a telescopic lock clamped clamping device essentially of FIG. 16 corresponds, but on the braking element 52 and on the applied Threaded ring has another sloping ramp surface. Because in the Practice when using poles with large force peaks and thus large displacement forces come about in the direction of the arrow Immediately an additional contact force through such a surface generated between tube 45 and brake element 52. This avoids unwanted shifting movements.
  • the variant of Figure 20 is constructed so that the telescopic lock arises from the fact that a correspondingly shaped nut 59th is equipped with an elastic ring 61.
  • the elastic ring 61 is strongly compressed and produced by the mother between nut 59 and tube 45 correspondingly high contact forces generate a correspondingly high holding force.
  • FIG. 21 Another embodiment of a clamping device is shown in FIG. 21 shown.
  • the inner tube 60 is provided with a groove.
  • resilient ring 57 is received in a nut 58. That mother 58 is on a threaded ring, which is applied to the tube 41 is screwed on.
  • That mother 58 is on a threaded ring, which is applied to the tube 41 is screwed on.
  • connection unit 90 with an elastic one Sleeve 87 shown on the side of the tube 88 with a Shrink fit 91 is applied.
  • a press fit 92 is provided which is created by the tube 89 in the Area of the press fit has a larger outer diameter than the sleeve 87.
  • the tube 89 initially has a cone, so that one simple introduction to the elastic sleeve 87 is possible. Because of the interference fit in the area 92 thereby creates a backlash-free Connection between tube 88 and tube 89 and the axial holding forces have a relieving effect on the tie rod 9 or 9 '.
  • the pipe 89 can be provided with a short cone 93 or a long cone 94 his. Since the manually applied axial forces to insert the Tube 89 are limited in the sleeve 87, it is possible due to different conicity according to embodiment 93 or 94 die to generate desired spreading forces on the press fit 92.
