Description

Armlaqer für eine Gelenkarmmarkise Arm storage for an articulated arm awning
Die vorliegende Erfindung betrifft ein Armlager für eine Gelenkarmmarkise, mit einem Lagerbock, der um eine Kippachse verschwenkbar an einem Tragbock angeschlagen ist und der an einem Ende zumindest ein Lagerauge zum drehbaren Aufnehmen eines Markisenarms aufweist, ferner mit einer Gewindestange zum Begrenzen eines maximalen Kippwinkels zwischen dem Tragbock und dem Lagerbock, wobei ein erstes Ende der Gewindestange verstellbar in eine Aufnahme des Tragbocks eingeschraubt ist und wobei ein zweites Ende der Gewindestange einen Kopf aufweist, der bei maximalem Kippwinkel an einem Anschlag des Lagerbocks anliegt, schließlich mit einem Sperrelement, mit dem bei maximalem Kippwinkel der Kopf der Gewindestange an dem Anschlag fixierbar ist.The present invention relates to an arm bearing for an articulated arm awning, with a bearing block which is attached to a support bracket so as to be pivotable about a tilting axis and which has at least one bearing eye at one end for rotatably receiving an awning arm, furthermore with a threaded rod for limiting a maximum tilting angle between the Support bracket and the bearing block, wherein a first end of the threaded rod is adjustably screwed into a receptacle of the supporting block and wherein a second end of the threaded rod has a head, which rests on a stop of the bearing block at the maximum tilt angle, finally with a locking element with which the head of the threaded rod can be fixed on the stop at the maximum tilt angle.
Ein derartiges Armlager ist aus dem deutschen Gebrauchsmuster G 87 09 415 Ul bekannt.Such an arm bearing is known from German utility model G 87 09 415 Ul.
Bei dem bekannten Armlager, das aufgrund der verschwenkbaren Verbindung zwischen dem Lagerbock und dem Tragbock auch als Kippgelenk bezeichnet wird, besteht das Sperrelement aus einem Winkelstück, dessen einer Schenkel an dem drehbaren Ende des Markisenarms befestigt ist, während der andere Schenkel frei vorragt. Die Anordnung ist derart dimensioniert, daß eine Drehung des Markisenarms zur Folge hat, daß der zweite Schenkel des Winkelstücks über den Kopf der Gewindestange gedreht wird und diesen damit an dem Anschlag des Lagerbocks fixiert. Auf diese Weise wird eine Hochschlagsicherung realisiert, die verhindert, daß der abgekippte Lagerbock ungewollt in eine nicht mehr abgekippte Stellung zurückschlägt. Dies kann bei einer ausgefahrenen Markise ansonsten passieren, wenn beispielsweise eine Windböe von unten unter das Markisentuch einfällt.In the known arm bearing, which is also referred to as a tilt joint due to the pivotable connection between the bearing block and the support bracket, the locking element consists of an angle piece, one leg of which is attached to the rotatable end of the awning arm, while the other leg projects freely. The arrangement is dimensioned such that rotation of the awning arm has the result that the second leg of the angle piece is rotated over the head of the threaded rod and thus fixes it to the stop of the bearing block. In this way, a high-impact protection is implemented, which prevents the tilted bearing block from accidentally striking back into a position that is no longer tilted. This can otherwise happen when the awning is extended, for example when a gust of wind falls under the awning cover from below.
Das bekannte Armlager ist vergleichsweise einfach konstruiert. Es bietet jedoch nicht die Möglichkeit, die Fixierung der Gewindestange bei Bedarf von der Drehwinkelstellung des Markisenarms zu entkoppeln. Aus diesem Grund ist das bekannte Armlager nicht ohne weiteres als starres Armlager mit einstellbarem Neigungswinkel verwendbar. Aus der EP 0 397 906 AI ist ebenfalls ein Armlager für eine Gelenkarmmarkise bekannt, bei dem der Lagerbock und der Tragbock um eine Kippachse verschwenkbar zueinander angeordnet sind. Als Hochschlagsicherung fungiert wiederum ein Sperrelement, das in diesem Fall als translatorisch beweglicher Sperrschieber ausgebildet ist. Dieser ist der dort zugrunde liegenden Problemstellung unabhängig von einem etwaigen Anschlag und kann einfach hergestellt werden. Eine alternative Verwendung dieses Kippgelenk-Armlagers in Form eines starren Armlagers mit einstellbarem Neigungswinkel ist jedoch auch in diesem Fall nicht vorgesehen.The well-known arm bearing is relatively simple. However, it does not offer the possibility of decoupling the fixing of the threaded rod from the angular position of the awning arm if necessary. For this reason, the known arm bearing is not readily usable as a rigid arm bearing with an adjustable angle of inclination. An arm bearing for an articulated arm awning is also known from EP 0 397 906 A1, in which the bearing block and the support block are arranged such that they can be pivoted relative to one another about a tilt axis. A locking element, which in this case is designed as a translationally movable locking slide, in turn acts as a high-impact protection. This is the underlying problem regardless of a possible stop and can be easily manufactured. However, an alternative use of this articulated arm bearing in the form of a rigid arm bearing with an adjustable inclination angle is also not provided in this case.
Es ist Aufgabe der vorliegenden Erfindung, ein Armlager der eingangs genannten Art dahingehend weiterzubilden, daß es auf einfache Art und Weise wahlweise entweder als Kippgelenk- Armlager oder als starres Armlager mit verstellbarem Neigungswinkel verwendbar ist.It is an object of the present invention to develop an arm bearing of the type mentioned at the outset in such a way that it can be used in a simple manner either as an articulated arm bearing or as a rigid arm bearing with an adjustable inclination angle.
Diese Aufgabe wird bei dem eingangs genannten Armlager dadurch gelöst, daß das Sperrelement einen translatorisch beweglichen Sperrschieber beinhaltet, der über ein Verbindungselement mit dem Markisenarm koppelbar ist, wobei das Verbindungselement eine Drehbewegung des Markisenarms in eine Translationsbewegung des Sperrschiebers umsetzt.This object is achieved in the arm bearing mentioned at the outset in that the locking element contains a translationally movable locking slide which can be coupled to the awning arm via a connecting element, the connecting element converting a rotary movement of the awning arm into a translational movement of the locking slide.
Im Unterschied zu den bekannten Armlagern ist im vorliegenden Fall ein Verbindungselement vorgesehen, dessen Beseitigung oder Entnahme zur Folge hat, daß der Sperrschieber von der Bewegung des Markisenarms entkoppelt wird. Dies wiederum führt dazu, daß der Sperrschieber den Kopf der Gewindestange unabhängig von einer Drehwinkelposition des Markisenarms an dem Anschlag fixie- ren kann, so daß das Armlager unabhängig von der Position des Markisenarms einen einmal eingestellten Kippwinkel beibehält. Dies ist die Funktion eines starren Armlagers, dessen Kippwinkel mit Hilfe der Gewindestange einstellbar ist.In contrast to the known arm bearings, a connecting element is provided in the present case, the removal or removal of which has the consequence that the locking slide is decoupled from the movement of the awning arm. This in turn means that the locking slide fixes the head of the threaded rod to the stop regardless of an angular position of the awning arm. Ren, so that the arm bearing maintains a once set tilt angle regardless of the position of the awning arm. This is the function of a rigid arm bearing, the tilt angle of which can be adjusted using the threaded rod.
Verwendet man demgegenüber das Verbindungselement, beeinflußt die Drehwinkelposition des Markisenarms die translatorische Position des Sperrschiebers. Dies hat zur Folge, daß der Sperrschieber in Abhängigkeit der Drehwinkelposition des Markisenarms das Kippgelenk zwischen dem Lagerbock und dem Tragbock freigibt, so daß der Lagerbock hochgeklappt werden kann. In dieser Betriebsart handelt es sich somit um ein Kippgelenk- Armlager .In contrast, if the connecting element is used, the angular position of the awning arm influences the translational position of the locking slide. This has the consequence that the locking slide releases the tilt joint between the bearing block and the support bracket depending on the rotational angle position of the awning arm, so that the bearing bracket can be folded up. This operating mode is therefore a tilting arm bearing.
Das erfindungsgemäße Armlager kann demnach allein durch die wahlweise Verwendung des Verbindungselements von einem Kippgelenk-Armlager zu einem starren Armlager umgerüstet werden und umgekehrt. Wie anhand der nachfolgenden Ausführungsbeispiele dargestellt ist, läßt sich die wahlweise Verwendung des Verbindungselements technisch und konstruktiv sehr einfach realisieren. Dementsprechend einfach kann das erfindungsgemäße Armlager wahlweise als Kippgelenk-Armlager oder als starres Armlager verwendet werden.The arm bearing according to the invention can therefore be converted from a tilting arm bearing to a rigid arm bearing and vice versa solely by the optional use of the connecting element. As shown in the following exemplary embodiments, the optional use of the connecting element can be implemented in a technically and structurally very simple manner. The arm bearing according to the invention can accordingly be used in a simple manner either as an articulated arm bearing or as a rigid arm bearing.
Die genannte Aufgabe ist daher vollständig gelöst.The above task is therefore completely solved.
Das erfindungsgemäße Armlager besitzt, insbesondere in seinen bevorzugten Ausgestaltungen gemäß den untergeordneten Ansprüchen, eine Reihe von weiteren Vorteilen. So können insbesondere die Produktionskosten für das erfindungsgemäße Armlager gering gehalten werden, da durch die nunmehr kombinierte Verwendungs- möglichkeit die Stückzahlen beträchtlich erhöht werden können. Des weiteren ist es aufgrund der erfindungsgemäßen Maßnahme einfach und kostengünstig möglich, ein derartiges Armlager auch nach mehreren Jahren im Betrieb auf die jeweils alternative Verwendungsmöglichkeit umzurüsten. Zudem baut das erfindungsgemäße Armlager in seinen bevorzugten Ausgestaltungen sehr klein, und es ist besonders einfach und robust.The arm bearing according to the invention has, in particular in its preferred configurations according to the subordinate claims, a number of further advantages. In particular, the production costs for the arm bearing according to the invention can be kept low, since the combined use now possibility of increasing the number of pieces considerably. Furthermore, due to the measure according to the invention, it is simple and inexpensive to convert such an arm bearing to the alternative possible use even after several years in operation. In addition, the preferred embodiment of the arm bearing according to the invention is very small, and it is particularly simple and robust.

Der Gelenkschaft 24 wird hierdurch derart fest mit dem Markisenarm verbunden, daß die Begriffe "Gelenkschaft" und "Markisenarm" nachfolgend der Einfachheit halber synonym zueinander verwendet werden.The bearing block 14 has at one end a bearing eye 22 on which an articulated shaft 24 of an awning arm, not shown here, is rotatably mounted. The awning arm consists, in a manner known per se, of an aluminum hollow profile which is pushed onto the joint shaft 24. The joint shaft 24 will hereby so firmly connected to the awning arm that the terms "articulated shaft" and "awning arm" are used synonymously for the sake of simplicity.
Der Markisenarm 24 ist in dem Lagerauge 22 um eine Drehachse 26 in Richtung des Pfeils 28 drehbar gelagert. Diese Drehung wird beim Ausfahren der Markise ausgeführt.The awning arm 24 is rotatably mounted in the bearing eye 22 about an axis of rotation 26 in the direction of the arrow 28. This rotation is carried out when the awning is extended.
Mit der Bezugsziffer 30 ist eine Gewindestange bezeichnet, die im vorliegenden Fall quer zu der Kippachse 16 von dem Lagerbock 14 zu dem Tragbock 12 verläuft. Das erste Ende 32 der Gewindestange 30 ist in eine in dieser Darstellung nicht erkennbare Querbohrung eines Bolzens 34 mit einem entsprechenden Innengewinde eingeschraubt. Der Bolzen 34 bildet somit eine Aufnahme für die Gewindestange 30.The reference numeral 30 denotes a threaded rod, which in the present case runs transversely to the tilt axis 16 from the bearing block 14 to the support block 12. The first end 32 of the threaded rod 30 is screwed into a transverse bore, not recognizable in this illustration, of a bolt 34 with a corresponding internal thread. The bolt 34 thus forms a receptacle for the threaded rod 30.
Zusätzlich ist die Gewindestange 30 in ihrer jeweils momentanen Position durch ein hier nicht dargestelltes Federelement fixiert, das einen Stift seitlich in das Gewinde der Gewindestange 30 drückt. Es handelt sich hierbei um eine Verdrehsicherung. Alternativ kann diese jedoch auch in an sich bekannter Weise mit einer Madenschraube realisiert werden.In addition, the threaded rod 30 is fixed in its current position by a spring element, not shown here, which presses a pin laterally into the thread of the threaded rod 30. It is an anti-rotation device. Alternatively, however, this can also be implemented in a manner known per se with a grub screw.
Der Bolzen 34 sitzt in zueinander fluchtenden Bohrungen 36, die parallel zu der Kippachse 16, jedoch oberhalb davon in zueinander parallelen Schenkeln 38, 40 des Tragbocks 12 angeordnet sind. Die Gewindestange 30 verläuft daher mit ihrem ersten Ende 32 zwischen den beiden Schenkeln 38, 40 des zweiteiligen Tragbocks 12. An ihrem zweiten Ende weist die Gewindestange 30 einen Kopf 42 auf, in dessen endseitiger Stirnfläche eine Innen-Sechskant- öffnung 44 angeordnet ist. Die Innen-Sechskantöffnung 44 ist in der Lage, einen Inbus-Schlüssel aufzunehmen, mit dem die Gewindestange 30 mehr oder weniger tief in den Bolzen 34 eingeschraubt werden kann.The bolt 34 is seated in mutually aligned bores 36 which are arranged parallel to the tilt axis 16, but above it in mutually parallel legs 38, 40 of the support bracket 12. The threaded rod 30 therefore runs with its first end 32 between the two legs 38, 40 of the two-part support bracket 12. At its second end, the threaded rod 30 has a head 42, in the end face of which an internal hexagon opening 44 is arranged. The internal hexagon opening 44 is able to receive an Allen key with which the threaded rod 30 can be screwed more or less deeply into the bolt 34.
Wie in Fig. 1 zu erkennen ist, weist der Lagerbock 14 eine in etwa ovale Durchgangsöffnung 46 auf, durch die der Kopf 42 der Gewindestange 30 hindurch treten kann. In Fig. 2 ist demgegenüber das Gehäuseelement 48, in dem die Durchgangsöffnung 46 angeordnet ist, entfernt, um das "Innenleben" des Lagerbocks 14 darzustellen. Tatsächlich läßt sich das Gehäuseelement 48 bei dem Armlager 10 jedoch nicht entfernen.As can be seen in FIG. 1, the bearing block 14 has an approximately oval through opening 46 through which the head 42 of the threaded rod 30 can pass. In contrast, in FIG. 2 the housing element 48, in which the through opening 46 is arranged, has been removed in order to show the “inner life” of the bearing block 14. In fact, the housing element 48 cannot be removed from the arm bearing 10.
In der Darstellung in Fig. 2 ist zu erkennen, daß der Lagerbock 14 in seinem Inneren einen Anschlag 50 besitzt, der in Verbindung mit dem Kopf 42 der Gewindestange 30 den maximalen Kippwinkel α des Lagerbocks 14 in Richtung des Pfeils 18 begrenzt. Der abgekippte Zustand des Armlagers 10 ist in den Figuren 3 und 4 dargestellt, wobei in Fig. 4 zu erkennen ist, daß das rückseitige Ende 52 des Kopfes 42 beim maximalen Kippwinkel α an dem Anschlag 50 zur Anlage kommt.In the illustration in Fig. 2 it can be seen that the bearing block 14 has in its interior a stop 50 which, in conjunction with the head 42 of the threaded rod 30, limits the maximum tilt angle α of the bearing block 14 in the direction of arrow 18. The tilted state of the arm bearing 10 is shown in FIGS. 3 and 4, it being possible to see in FIG. 4 that the rear end 52 of the head 42 comes to rest against the stop 50 at the maximum tilt angle α.
Mit der Bezugsziffer 60 ist in seiner Gesamtheit ein Sperrelement bezeichnet, das in der in Fig. 3 und 4 dargestellten, abgekippten Position des Armlagers 10 den Kopf 42 der Gewindestange 30 an dem Anschlag 50 fixiert. Dadurch wird verhindert, daß sich das rückseitige Ende 52 des Kopfes 42 aus seiner Anlage an dem Anschlag 50 lösen kann, was gleichbedeutend damit ist, daß der Lagerbock 14 entgegen der Richtung des Pfeils 18 nach oben schlägt. Das Sperrelement 60 stellt somit eine Hochschlagsicherung dar.The reference number 60 in its entirety denotes a locking element which fixes the head 42 of the threaded rod 30 on the stop 50 in the tilted position of the arm bearing 10 shown in FIGS. 3 and 4. This prevents the rear end 52 of the head 42 from being released from its abutment on the stop 50, which is equivalent to the fact that the bearing block 14 counteracts the direction of the arrow 18 beats up. The blocking element 60 thus represents an anti-surge device.
Das Sperrelement 60 weist im vorliegenden Fall einen Sperrschieber 62 auf, der parallel zu der Kippachse 16 in einer Bohrung 63 des Lagerbocks 14 translatorisch beweglich ist. Der Sperrschieber 62 ist im vorliegenden Fall ein massiver Rundbolzen aus Edelstahl. Er ist über einen Quersteg 64 mit einer Schubstange 66 verbunden, die sich ebenfalls parallel zur Kippachse 16 in dem Lagerbock 14 erstreckt. Die Schubstange 66 ist über eine Feder 68 an einem Vorsprung 70 innerhalb des Lagerbocks 14 vorgespannt. Das freie Ende 72 der Schubstange 66 ragt aus dem Gehäuseelement 48 des Lagerbocks 14 heraus und liegt an einer exzentrischen Außenkontur 74 des Gelenkschaftes 24 an, die im vorliegenden Fall nockenförmig ist.In the present case, the locking element 60 has a locking slide 62 which is translationally movable parallel to the tilt axis 16 in a bore 63 of the bearing block 14. The locking slide 62 is a solid round bolt made of stainless steel in the present case. It is connected via a crossbar 64 to a push rod 66 which also extends parallel to the tilt axis 16 in the bearing block 14. The push rod 66 is biased by a spring 68 on a projection 70 within the bearing block 14. The free end 72 of the push rod 66 protrudes from the housing element 48 of the bearing block 14 and lies against an eccentric outer contour 74 of the joint shaft 24, which in the present case is cam-shaped.
Der Sperrschieber 62 ist bei dem hier dargestellten Armlager 10 über den Quersteg 64 einstückig mit der Schubstange 66 verbunden. Alternativ hierzu ist der Sperrschieber 62 in einem hier nicht gezeigten Ausführungsbeispiel der Erfindung lösbar mit dem Quersteg 64 verbunden, so daß das Verbindungselement entfernt werden kann, ohne den Sperrschieber 62 auszutauschen.In the arm bearing 10 shown here, the locking slide 62 is connected in one piece to the push rod 66 via the crossbar 64. As an alternative to this, in an exemplary embodiment of the invention (not shown here), the locking slide 62 is detachably connected to the transverse web 64, so that the connecting element can be removed without replacing the locking slide 62.
In den Figuren 1 und 2 ist das Sperrelement 60 in seiner entriegelten Position dargestellt, in der der Kopf 42 der Gewindestange 30 durch die Durchgangsöffnung 46 des Lagerbocks 14 hindurchtreten kann. Der Lagerbock 14 ist in diesem Fall an den Tragbock 12 herangeklappt.In Figures 1 and 2, the locking element 60 is shown in its unlocked position, in which the head 42 of the threaded rod 30 can pass through the through opening 46 of the bearing block 14. The bearing block 14 is in this case folded up to the support block 12.
In der Darstellung der Figuren 3 und 4 ist der Lagerbock 14 demgegenüber in Richtung des Pfeils 18 abgekippt, und der Kopf 42 der Gewindestange 30 ist durch das Sperrelement 60 gesichert. Der Sperrschieber 62 befindet sich dementsprechend in einer Verriegelungsposition, wobei er seitlich nur so weit an der Innensechskantöffnung 44 an dem Kopf 42 angreift, daß die Gewindestange 30 auch in der verriegelten Position verstellt werden kann.3 and 4, the bearing block 14 is tilted in the direction of arrow 18, and the head 42 of the threaded rod 30 is secured by the locking element 60. The locking slide 62 is accordingly in a locking position, wherein it only laterally engages the hexagon opening 44 on the head 42 to such an extent that the threaded rod 30 can also be adjusted in the locked position.
Wie anhand der Darstellung in den Figuren 1 bis 4 zu erkennen ist, wird die Ent- und Verriegelung der Gewindestange 30 dadurch bewirkt, daß der Sperrschieber 62 translatorisch parallel zur Kippachse 16 verschoben wird. Dies erfolgt mit Hilfe der Schubstange 66, deren translatorische Position durch die Stellung der nockenförmigen Außenkontur 74 des Gelenkschaftes 24 bestimmt wird. Die Federkraft der Feder 68 neigt dazu, den Sperrschieber 62 in seine verriegelte Position zu befördern. Dementsprechend ist die Feder 68 in der verriegelten Position des Sperrschiebers 62 entspannt.As can be seen from the illustration in FIGS. 1 to 4, the unlocking and locking of the threaded rod 30 is brought about by the fact that the locking slide 62 is displaced translationally parallel to the tilt axis 16. This is done with the aid of the push rod 66, the translational position of which is determined by the position of the cam-shaped outer contour 74 of the joint shaft 24. The spring force of the spring 68 tends to move the gate valve 62 to its locked position. Accordingly, the spring 68 is relaxed in the locked position of the locking slide 62.
Die Schubstange 66 und der Quersteg 64 bilden gemeinsam ein Verbindungselement, durch das der Sperrschieber 62 mit dem Gelenkschaft 24 derartig wirkverbunden ist, daß eine Drehwinkelposition des Gelenkschaftes 24 um die Drehachse 26 herum Einfluß auf die translatorische Position des Sperrschiebers 62 nimmt. Fehlt diese Wirkverbindung, verbleibt der Sperrschieber 62 unabhängig von der Drehwinkelposition des Gelenkschaftes 24 in seiner eingenommenen, translatorischen Position.The push rod 66 and the crossbar 64 together form a connecting element through which the locking slide 62 is operatively connected to the joint shaft 24 in such a way that an angular position of the joint shaft 24 around the axis of rotation 26 influences the translational position of the locking slide 62. If this operative connection is missing, the locking slide 62 remains in its assumed, translational position, regardless of the rotational angle position of the joint shaft 24.
Dies ist bei dem nachfolgend anhand der Figuren 5 bis 8 dargestellten Ausführungsbeispiel des Armlagers dahingehend ausgenutzt, ein starres Armlager mit einem verstellbaren Neigungs- winkel zu realisieren. Gleiche Bezugszeichen bezeichnen dabei dieselben Elemente wie in den vorhergehenden Figuren.In the exemplary embodiment of the arm bearing shown below with reference to FIGS. 5 to 8, this is used to the effect that a rigid arm bearing with an adjustable inclination to realize angles. The same reference numerals designate the same elements as in the previous figures.
In Fig. 5 und 6 ist ein zweites Ausführungsbeispiel des erfindungsgemäßen Armlagers in seiner Gesamtheit mit der Bezugsziffer 80 bezeichnet.5 and 6, a second exemplary embodiment of the arm bearing according to the invention is designated in its entirety by the reference number 80.
Das Armlager 80 unterscheidet sich von dem zuvor beschriebenen Armlager 10 im wesentlichen dadurch, daß das Verbindungselement bestehend aus dem Quersteg 64 und der Schubstange 66 fehlt. Dementsprechend ist die Bohrung 82, in der die Schubstange 66 bei dem Armlager 10 geführt war, leer.The arm bearing 80 differs from the previously described arm bearing 10 essentially in that the connecting element consisting of the crossbar 64 and the push rod 66 is missing. Accordingly, the bore 82 in which the push rod 66 was guided in the arm bearing 10 is empty.
Infolge der fehlenden Wirkverbindung zwischen dem Gelenkschaft 24 und dem Sperrschieber 62 verbleibt der Kopf 42 der Gewindestange 30 unabhängig von der Position des Gelenkschaftes 24 an dem Anschlag 50 fixiert. Dementsprechend behält der Lagerbock 14 unabhängig von der Position des Gelenkschaftes 24 den jeweils eingestellten Kippwinkel α bei. In der Darstellung der Figuren 5 und 6 ist der Kippwinkel = 60°.As a result of the missing operative connection between the articulated shaft 24 and the locking slide 62, the head 42 of the threaded rod 30 remains fixed on the stop 50 regardless of the position of the articulated shaft 24. Accordingly, the bearing block 14 maintains the respectively set tilt angle α regardless of the position of the joint shaft 24. 5 and 6, the tilt angle = 60 °.
Das Armlager 80 ist somit ein starres Armlager, dessen Kippwinkel α mit Hilfe der Gewindestange 30 verstellt werden kann, indem die Gewindestange 30 mehr oder weniger weit in den Bolzen 34 hinein geschraubt wird.The arm bearing 80 is thus a rigid arm bearing, the tilting angle α of which can be adjusted with the aid of the threaded rod 30 by screwing the threaded rod 30 more or less into the bolt 34.
Die Figuren 7 und 8 zeigen das Armlager 80 mit einem fest eingestellten Kippwinkel von = 0°. Auch hier ist der Kippwinkel α aufgrund des fehlenden Verbindungselements unabhängig von der Drehwinkelposition des Gelenkschaftes 24. In Fig. 9 ist eine besonders bevorzugte Möglichkeit dargestellt, um den Kippwinkel α der Armlager 10, 80 zu verstellen. Dazu wird eine Versteilvorrichtung 88 in Form eines an sich bekannten Standard-Getriebes 90 verwendet, das über einen Koppelstift 92 mit der Gewindestange 30 verbunden wird. Hierzu besitzt der Koppelstift 92 einen Inbus-Kopf 94, der exakt der In- nen-Sechskantöffnung 44 des Kopfes 42 entspricht.Figures 7 and 8 show the arm bearing 80 with a fixed tilt angle of = 0 °. Here too, the tilt angle α is independent of the rotational angle position of the joint shaft 24 due to the lack of a connecting element. A particularly preferred possibility is shown in FIG. 9 in order to adjust the tilt angle α of the arm bearings 10, 80. For this purpose, an adjusting device 88 in the form of a known standard gear 90 is used, which is connected to the threaded rod 30 via a coupling pin 92. For this purpose the coupling pin 92 has an Allen head 94 which corresponds exactly to the internal hexagon opening 44 of the head 42.
Das Standardgetriebe 90 kann in an sich bekannter Weise an seinem ringförmig ausgebildeten Bedienungselement 96 mit einer hier nicht dargestellten Kurbelstange bedient werden. Es überträgt die Drehbewegung der Kurbelstange auf den Koppelstift 92 und somit auf die Gewindestange 30.The standard gear 90 can be operated in a manner known per se on its ring-shaped control element 96 with a crank rod, not shown here. It transmits the rotary movement of the crank rod to the coupling pin 92 and thus to the threaded rod 30.
In einer weiteren Ausgestaltung wird an die Stirnseite des Lagerbockes 14 eine Halteplatte angebracht, die ein Kardangelenk trägt. Ein Ende des Kardangelenkes weist einen Sechskantstift auf, der in die Innen-Sechskantöffnung 44 der Gewindestange 30 einsteckbar ist, am anderen Ende ist ein Bedienelement, z. B. wie das Bedienelement 96 angeordnet, über das das Kardangelenk getrieben werden kann. In a further embodiment, a holding plate is attached to the end face of the pedestal 14, which carries a universal joint. One end of the universal joint has a hexagon pin which can be inserted into the inner hexagon opening 44 of the threaded rod 30, at the other end is an operating element, for. B. arranged as the control element 96, via which the universal joint can be driven.
