The The handle is arranged with respect to the rocker switch so that it is one of the thumb the hand grasping the handle is easily accessible.

Der Nachteil dieser bekannten Einrichtung besteht darin, dass sie aufgrund ihrer konstruktiven Ausgestaltung nicht mit geringem Aufwand für eine Vielzahl von Handhabungsgeräten, insbesondere Manipulatoren, verwendbar ist. Insbesondere ist sie nicht an Erfordernisse anpassbar, die sich aus ergonomischer Sicht aus den Bedürfnissen von Bedienpersonen unterschiedlicher Größe ergeben.The disadvantage of this known device is that it is due to its constructive design with little effort for a variety of Handling devices, in particular manipulators, can be used. In particular is they are not adaptable to requirements that arise from an ergonomic point of view To meet the needs of operators of different sizes.

Die Aufgabe der Erfindung ist es, eine Einrichtung zur Handsteuerung und manuellen Führung eines eine Bewegungsvorrichtung, insbesondere eine Hubvorrichtung, aufweisenden Handhabungsgeräts vorzuschlagen, welche mit geringem Aufwand an unterschiedlichste Handhabungsgeräte sowie an die individuellen Bedürfnisse der jeweiligen Bedienpersonen und an die ergonomischen Bedingungen als auch insbesondere an unterschiedliche Hubhöhen anpassbar ist.The object of the invention is to provide a device for manual control and manual Guidance of a movement device, in particular a lifting device, Proposing handling device to propose, which with little effort various handling devices as well as the individual needs of respective operators and to the ergonomic conditions as well is particularly adaptable to different lifting heights.

Die Lösung dieser Aufgabe ist durch die in den Ansprüchen 1 und 7 angegebenen Merkmale gegeben. Durch die kennzeichnenden Merkmale der Unteransprüche ist die Einheit in vorteilhafter Weise weiter ausgestaltet.The solution to this problem is given by the claims 1 and 7 Characteristics given. Due to the characterizing features of the dependent claims Unit further advantageously configured.

Eine erste Lösung sieht vor, dass an den beiden freien Enden eines am Gehäuse lösbar befestigten im wesentlichen horizontalen ersten Querträgers quer zu diesem nach oben und/oder unten verlaufend je ein mit dem zugehörigen Ende lösbar verbundenes Griffelement vorgesehen ist, wobei die Lage zumindest eines der Griffelemente in Bezug auf zumindest eines der Schalt- und/oder Tastelemente durch Längsverschiebung des Querträgers vor dessen Festlegung am Gehäuse einstellbar ist, und dass die beiden Griffelemente zusammen mit dem Querträger einen Führungsrahmen bilden, der zur Anpassung an die jeweiligen Erfordernisse aus unterschiedlich langen Griffelementen und Querträgern nach Art eines Baukastens montierbar ist. Die Anpassung an unterschiedlichste Erfordemisse wird also dadurch sichergestellt, dass die Einheit aus unterschiedlich langen Elementen eines Baukastens montierbar ist. Die Elemente sind im wesentlichen Griffelemente und Querträger, wobei mindestens ein Querträger am Gehäuse der Einheit lösbar befestigt ist, der an seinen freien Enden je ein Griffelement trägt. Die Länge der für eine Einheit verwendeten Griffelemente und Querträger bestimmt zunächst die Grundgröße der Einheit. Darüber hinaus ist zumindest die Lage eines Griffelements relativ zu den Schalt- und/oder Tastelementen einstellbar, nämlich durch Längsverschiebung des Querträgers vor dessen Befestigung am Gehäuse. In der einfachsten Ausführung hat die Einheit die Form eines an einem länglichen Gehäuse befestigten Lenkers mit zwei Griffen, nach Art eines Fahrradlenkers.A first solution provides that one at the two free ends on the housing detachably fastened substantially horizontal first cross member transversely to this upwards and / or downwards each detachable with the associated end connected grip element is provided, the position of at least one of the Handle elements in relation to at least one of the switching and / or touch elements Longitudinal displacement of the cross member adjustable before it is fixed on the housing and that the two handle elements together with the cross member Form a leadership framework that is designed to adapt to specific needs Handle elements and crossbeams of different lengths in the manner of a modular system is mountable. The adaptation to different requirements is therefore ensures that the unit is made up of elements of different lengths Building kit is mountable. The elements are essentially grip elements and Cross member, wherein at least one cross member releasably attached to the housing of the unit is that carries a handle element at its free ends. The length of one unit handle elements and cross members used first determine the basic size of the Unit. In addition, at least the position of a grip element is relative to the Switching and / or sensing elements adjustable, namely by longitudinal displacement of the Cross member before attaching it to the housing. In the simplest version the unit is in the form of a handlebar attached to an elongated housing with two Grips, like a bicycle handlebar.

Konstruktiv einfach und kostengünstig ist es, wenn das Gehäuse aus einem an den Enden und auf einer Längsseite offenen Hohlprofil gebildet und die offene die Rückseite des Gehäuses bildendende Längsseite deckelartig verschließbar ist. It is structurally simple and inexpensive if the housing from one to the Ends and formed on one long side open hollow profile and the open the Back of the housing forming longitudinal side can be closed like a lid.

Dadurch können diverse Steuerungen mit geringem Aufwand gleich in das Hohlprofil eingebaut werden, d.h. es sind keine weiteren Schaltkästen o.ä. erforderlich.As a result, various controls can be inserted into the hollow profile with little effort be installed, i.e. there are no other switch boxes or similar required.

Eine einfache Anpassbarkeit der Einheit an die Größe einer Bedienperson lässt sich mit geringem Aufwand dadurch erzielen, dass zumindest eine zum Gehäuse gehörige längs- und auch querverschiebliche sowie feststellbare Elementegehäuseeinheit nach Art eines Satelliten vorgesehen ist, die einige oder alle Schalt- und/oder Tastelemente aufweist.The unit can be easily adapted to the size of an operator achieve with little effort that at least one belonging to the housing longitudinally and also laterally displaceable as well as lockable element housing unit Type of satellite is provided, some or all of the switching and / or sensing elements having.

Bei zu manipulierenden schwereren Lasten wird vorgeschlagen, dass die beiden freien Enden der Griffelemente mittels eines zweiten Querträgers miteinander verbunden sind, der in derselben Weise wie der erste Querträger am Gehäuse befestigbar ist. Man erhält auf diese Weise einen geschlossenen Rahmen, der eine höhere mechanische Stabilität aufweist.For heavier loads to be manipulated, it is suggested that the two free Ends of the handle elements connected to each other by means of a second cross member are fastened to the housing in the same way as the first cross member. In this way you get a closed frame that is higher has mechanical stability.

Je nach Bedarf kann es vorkommen, dass die Griffelemente einen großen Abstand voneinander aufweisen müssen. Speziell für diesen Fall wird vorgeschlagen, dass der erste Querträger an zwei beabstandeten parallel zueinander angeordneten Gehäusen lösbar befestigt ist, wobei die Gehäuse wiederum zuletzt mit dem Handhabungsgerät verbunden sind. Neben einer größeren Stabilität bei weiter auseinanderliegenden Griffelementen sind auf diese Art und Weise die entsprechenden Schalt- und/oder Tastelemente von beiden Daumen gut erreichbarDepending on the needs, it can happen that the handle elements are a large distance must have from each other. Especially in this case it is proposed that the first cross member on two spaced housings arranged parallel to each other is releasably attached, the housing in turn last with the handling device are connected. In addition to greater stability with further apart In this way, grip elements are the corresponding switching and / or Easily accessible touch elements from both thumbs

Die Stabilität der Einheit erhöht sich, wenn je ein freies Ende beiden Griffelemente an jeweils einem der beiden Gehäuse lösbar befestigt ist.The stability of the unit increases if one free end each of the two handle elements one of the two housings is releasably attached.

Eine zweite Lösung der Einheit mit zwei beabstandeten parallelen Gehäusen sieht vor, dass an den beiden freien Enden eines im wesentlichen horizontalen ersten Querträgers quer zu diesem nach oben und/oder unten verlaufend je ein mit dem zugehörigen Ende verbundenes Griffelement vorgesehen ist und die beiden freien Enden der Griffelemente mittels eines zweiten Querträgers derart miteinander verbunden sind, dass die parallel zueinander angeordneten Querträger- und Griffelementepaare einen geschlossenen ebenen Führungsrahmen bilden, dass zur lösbaren Verbindung der Querträger und der Griffelemente Verbindungselemente mit mindestens je einem Vorsprung vorgesehen sind, die am montierten Führungsrahmen gleichausgerichtet parallel zueinander verlaufen, dass mindestens zwei mit Abstand parallel nebeneinander angeordnete Gehäuse zu den Vorsprüngen korrespondierende Aufnahmen aufweisen, in welche die Vorsprünge zur Befestigung des Führungsrahmens an den beiden Gehäusen einsetzbar sind, und dass der Führungsrahmen zur Anpassung an die jeweiligen Erfordernisse aus unterschiedlich langen Griffelementen, Querträgern und Gehäusen sowie den Verbindungselementen nach Art eines Baukastens montierbar ist. Auch hier ist wie oben beschrieben die Anpassbarkeit der Einheit an verschiedengroße Bedienpersonen mit sehr geringem Montageaufwand erzielbar.A second solution of the unit with two spaced parallel housings provides that at the two free ends of a substantially horizontal first Cross member extending transversely to this up and / or down one with each associated end connected grip element is provided and the two free Ends of the grip elements with one another by means of a second cross member are connected that the parallel cross-member and Pair of handle elements form a closed flat guide frame that for Detachable connection of the cross member and the grip elements with connecting elements at least one projection each are provided on the assembled guide frame aligned parallel to each other, that at least two at a distance housings arranged parallel to one another and corresponding to the projections Have recordings in which the projections for fastening the Guide frame can be used on the two housings, and that the Leadership framework to adapt to different needs from different long handle elements, cross members and housings as well as the connecting elements can be assembled in the manner of a modular system. Here too, as described above Adaptability of the unit to different sized operators with very little Assembly effort achievable.

Selbstverständlich können die Griffelemente 5 auch nach oben und unten oder nur nach oben verlaufend am Querträger 7 angeordnet sein. Fig. 4 shows a guide frame 6a in the manner of a bicycle handlebar with only one single cross member 6 and two downwardly extending grip elements 5. Of course, the handle elements 5 can also be up and down or only be arranged on the cross member 7 extending upwards.

Der Führungsrahmen in Fig. 5 besteht aus einem Querträger 6, an dem zwei Gehäuse 7 parallel mit Abstand zueinander angeordnet sind. Die Befestigung am Querträger 6 erfolgt auch hier mittels Halteelementen 14. Beide Gehäuse 7 werden am Vertikalmast 1 befestigt, der hierzu mit einer entsprechenden Befestigungsplatte zu versehen ist. Zur Erhöhung der Stabilität sind die Griffelemente 5 mit ihren dem Querträger 6 abgewandten Enden ebenfalls am zugehörigen Gehäuse 7 befestigt. Die Befestigung erfolgt ebenfalls mittels der Halteelemente 14 und je einem Querträgerstück 15, die wiederum über Verbindungselemente 13 mit den Griffelementen 5 verbunden sind.The guide frame in Fig. 5 consists of a cross member 6, on the two housings 7 are arranged parallel to each other at a distance. The attachment to the cross member 6 takes place here also by means of holding elements 14. Both housings 7 are on the vertical mast 1 attached, which is to be provided with a corresponding mounting plate. To increase the stability, the handle elements 5 with their cross member 6 opposite ends also attached to the associated housing 7. The attachment is also carried out by means of the holding elements 14 and a cross member 15 each are in turn connected to the grip elements 5 via connecting elements 13.

Eine weitere Lösung zeigt Fig. 6, wiederum unter Verwendung zweier paralleler Gehäuse 7, ähnlich der Ausführung in Fig. 5. Allerdings liegen bei dem Führungsrahmen 6a die beiden Griffelemente 5 und die beiden Querträger 6 in einer einzigen gemeinsamen Ebene. Weiter sind die Verbindungselemente 13 so ausgestaltet, dass diese mit den beiden Gehäusen 7 lösbar verbindbar sind. Hierzu sind die Verbindungselemente 13 mit einem Vorsprung 16 in Form eines zylindrischen Zapfens versehen, die quer vom Führungsrahmen 6a weg- und zum zugehörigen Gehäuse 7 hinweisen. Diese Vorsprünge 16 sind in korrespondierende Zylinderöffnungen 17 der Gehäuse 7 einsetzbar. Die Arretierung kann mittels einer Schraube und dgl. erfolgen.Another solution is shown in FIG. 6, again using two parallel ones Housing 7, similar to the embodiment in Fig. 5. However, the Guide frame 6a, the two handle elements 5 and the two cross members 6 in one single common level. Furthermore, the connecting elements 13 are like this designed that they can be detachably connected to the two housings 7. For this are the connecting elements 13 with a projection 16 in the form of a cylindrical Provide pin that away from the guide frame 6a and the associated Point out housing 7. These projections 16 are corresponding Cylinder openings 17 of the housing 7 can be used. The locking can be done by means of a Screw and the like.

Weiter gehören die Griffelemente 5 und die Querträger 6 sowie die Gehäuse 7 zu einem Baukasten, d. h. sie sind in unterschiedlichen Längen verfügbar. Zu diesem Baukasten gehören auch die Verbindungselemente 13 und die Halteelemente 14, die im Ausführungsbeispiel nur für einen Außendurchmesser der Griffelemente 5 und der Querträger 6 vorgesehen sind. Selbstverständlich ist es auch möglich, dass Griffelemente 5 und Querträger unterschiedliche Außendurchmesser haben.Furthermore, the handle elements 5 and the cross member 6 and the housing 7 belong to a kit, d. H. they are available in different lengths. To this Modules also include the connecting elements 13 and the holding elements 14 which in the exemplary embodiment only for an outer diameter of the grip elements 5 and Cross member 6 are provided. Of course it is also possible that Handle elements 5 and cross member have different outer diameters.

Das Gehäuse 7 besteht aus einem Stück eines Hohlprofils, das auf einer Längsseite offen ist. Die offene Längsseite bildet die Rückseite des Gehäuses 7 und ist mittels eines Blechstreifens deckelartig verschließbar. Das Verschließen der oberen und unteren Stirnseite des Gehäuses erfolgt mittels der Halteelemente 14, die hierzu in die stirnseitigen Gehäuseöffnungen einsteckbar und anschließend mittels Schrauben befestigbar sind. Das Hohlprofilstück kann beispielsweise aus stranggepressten Aluminium bestehen.The housing 7 consists of a piece of a hollow profile, which is on one long side is open. The open long side forms the back of the housing 7 and is by means of a sheet metal strip can be closed like a lid. Closing the top and lower end of the housing takes place by means of the holding elements 14, which for this purpose in the front housing openings can be inserted and then by means of screws are attachable. The hollow profile piece can for example be made of extruded Aluminum.
