Description

Die Erfindung betrifft eine Anordnung mit teleskopierbaren Rohren mit den Merkmalen des einleitenden Teils von Anspruch 1.The invention relates to an arrangement with telescopic tubes having the features of the introductory part of claim 1.

Teleskopierbare Rohranordnungen werden vielfach verwendet und dienen beispielsweise als höhenverstellbare Stützen, insbesondere als Beine für Tische.Telescopic pipe arrangements are widely used and serve, for example, as height-adjustable supports, especially as legs for tables.

Für das Ändern der wirksamen Länge (z.B. beim Höhenverstellen eines Tisches), also das Verändern der Lage der teleskopartig ineinander geschobenen Rohre zueinander, sind verschiedene Konstruktionen bekannt. Die meisten arbeiten mit Getrieben, die mit Hilfe von Kurbeln oder Ähnlichem betätigt werden.For changing the effective length (e.g., in height adjustment of a table), that is, changing the position of the tubes telescoped into each other, various constructions are known. Most work with transmissions that are operated by means of cranks or the like.

Es sind auch Ausführungsformen bekannt, bei welchen die teleskopartig ineinander geschobenen Rohre in der gewünschten Relativlage zueinander (Höhe des Tisches) durch Rastverbindungen gesichert werden.Embodiments are also known in which the telescopically inserted tubes are secured in the desired relative position relative to one another (height of the table) by latching connections.

Die DE 29 49 166 B1 betrifft eine Anzeigevorrichtung zur Anzeige der Höhe eines Arbeitstisches mit einer Verstellmechanik zur Höhenverstellung und mit einem Skalenband, das die jeweilige Höhe des Tisches anzeigen soll. Bei der in Fig. 3 und 4 der DE 29 49 166 B1 gezeigten Ausführungsform wird zur Höhenverstellung, also zum Verstellen der Relativlage der Teile des Tischbeins, ein in sich geschlossenes, endloses Zugband verwendet. Das in sich geschlossene Band ist mit einem Trum an dem inneren Rohr eines Tischbeins befestigt und wird über eine Umlenkrolle geführt, die am äußeren Rohr des Tischbeins gelagert ist.The DE 29 49 166 B1 relates to a display device for displaying the height of a work table with an adjustment mechanism for height adjustment and with a scale band which is to indicate the respective height of the table. At the in Fig. 3 and 4 of the DE 29 49 166 B1 Shown embodiment, a self-contained, endless drawstring is used for height adjustment, ie for adjusting the relative position of the parts of the leg of the table. The self-contained band is attached with a strand to the inner tube of a table leg and is guided over a deflection roller which is mounted on the outer tube of the table leg.

Aus der DE 90 06 486 U1 ist ein Arbeitstisch bekannt, bei dem zum Höhenverstellen ein Spindel-Mutter-Antrieb vorgesehen ist. Seile dienen dazu sicherzustellen, dass alle Tischbeine gleichzeitig und im gleichen Ausmaß bewegt werden. Hiezu sind die Seife mit ihren Enden an unterschiedlichen Tischbeinen befestigt bzw. über unterschiedliche, an verschiedenen Tischbeinen vorgesehene Umlenkrollen geführt.From the DE 90 06 486 U1 is known a work table in which a spindle-nut drive is provided for height adjustment. Ropes serve to ensure that all table legs are moved simultaneously and to the same extent. For this purpose, the soap are attached with their ends to different legs of the table or guided over different, provided on different legs table pulleys.

Die DE 298 11 310 U1 zeigt ein Tischbein aus zwei gegeneinander beweglichen Teilen. Diese Teile sind in feststehenden Teilen geführt. Zusätzlich sind zwischen den Teilen Seilrollen vorgesehen. Die Enden eines Seils, das über die Rollen gelegt ist, sind an einem der feststehenden Teile befestigt. Zusätzlich soll das andere Ende des Seils über eine Spiralfeder ebenfalls an einem feststehenden Teil befestigt sein. Durch Betätigen einer der Rollen werden die beweglichen Teile gegenüber den feststehenden Teilen verstellt.The DE 298 11 310 U1 shows a table leg of two mutually movable parts. These parts are guided in fixed parts. In addition, pulleys are provided between the parts. The ends of a rope placed over the rollers are attached to one of the fixed parts. In addition, the other end of the rope via a coil spring should also be attached to a fixed part. By pressing one of the rollers, the moving parts are adjusted relative to the fixed parts.

Aus dem Dokument DE 1 951 252 U ist durch Fig. 5 ein Tischbein bekannt, das gegenüber dem Tisch mit Hilfe eines Seiles verstellbar ist. Hierzu ist das freie Ende des Seiles am Tischbein befestigt. Das Seil wird über eine Rolle geführt, die an einem am Tisch fix befestigten Bauteil gelagert ist. Der Bauteil ist im hohlen Tischbein geführt. Der das Seil führende Teil ist keine Hülle eines Bowdenzuges, sondern ein "Rohrkrümmer".From the document DE 1 951 252 U is through Fig. 5 a table leg known, which is adjustable with respect to the table by means of a rope. For this purpose, the free end of the rope is attached to the table leg. The rope is led over a roll, which fix at a table mounted component is stored. The component is guided in the hollow table leg. The rope leading part is not a shell of a Bowden cable, but a "pipe bend".

Das Dokument EP 1 987 734 A1 betrifft einen höheverstellbaren Tisch, bei dem zwei symmetrisch angeordnete Stahlbänder vorgesehen sind, die über Rollen geführt sind, wodurch ein synchrones Heben und Absenken möglich sein soll.The document EP 1 987 734 A1 relates to a height-adjustable table, in which two symmetrically arranged steel bands are provided, which are guided over rollers, whereby a synchronous lifting and lowering should be possible.

Aus dem Dokument AU 629100 B ist ein Tisch mit zwei Tischbeinen jeweils mit Außenrohr und Innenrohr bekannt. Zum Verstellen werden Bowdenzüge mit Hülle und Seil mit Hilfe eines Antriebes mit einer Kurbel betätigt. Das freie Ende des Seils ist am Innenrohr befestigt. Die Hülle ist von außen am Außenrohr abgestützt. Das Seil läuft über eine obere Umlenkrolle, die am Außenrohr gelagert ist. Zusätzlich ist eine Abstützung vorgesehen, die mit dem Außenrohr starr verbunden ist. Die Abstützung trägt eine Umlenkrolle. Bei der in Fig. 3 gezeigten Ausführungsform bewirkt ein Zug am Seil ein Anheben des Tisches (Verlängerung des Beines).From the document AU 629100 B is a table with two legs each with outer tube and inner tube known. To adjust Bowden cables with sheath and rope are operated by means of a drive with a crank. The free end of the rope is attached to the inner tube. The shell is supported from outside on the outer tube. The rope runs over an upper deflection roller, which is mounted on the outer tube. In addition, a support is provided which is rigidly connected to the outer tube. The support carries a pulley. At the in Fig. 3 shown embodiment causes a pull on the rope lifting the table (extension of the leg).

Problematisch bei den bekannten Konstruktionen ist es, dass sie entweder aufwendig konstruiert sind oder eine nur begrenzte Verstellmöglichkeit besitzen und oft nicht einfach zu bedienen sind.The problem with the known constructions is that they are either elaborately constructed or have only limited adjustment and are often not easy to use.

Der Erfindung liegt die Aufgabe zugrunde, eine einfach aufgebaute Anordnung mit teleskopierbaren Rohren vorzustellen, bei der ein stufenloses Verändern der Lage der Rohre zueinander, also das Verändern der Länge der Anordnung, mit einfachen Mitteln möglich ist.The invention has for its object to present a simple structure arrangement with telescopic tubes, in which a stepless change of the position of the tubes to each other, so changing the length of the arrangement is possible with simple means.

Gelöst wird diese Aufgabe erfindungsgemäß mit einer Anordnung, welche die Merkmale von Anspruch 1 aufweist.This object is achieved according to the invention with an arrangement having the features of claim 1.

Bevorzugte und vorteilhafte Ausgestaltungen der Erfindung sind Gegenstand der Unteransprüche.Preferred and advantageous embodiments of the invention are the subject of the dependent claims.

Dadurch, dass bei der erfindungsgemäßen Anordnung die relativ zueinander verstellbaren, teleskopartig ineinander geschobenen Rohre miteinander mit Hilfe eines Seilzuges gekuppelt sind, kann durch Verlängern und Verkürzen der wirksamen Länge des Seils die gewünschte Relativlage der Rohre zueinander, also die Länge der Anordnung, eingestellt werden. Dabei sind nur geringe Kräfte erforderlich, weil die erfindungsgemäße Anordnung aus Seil und Rollen wie ein Flaschenzug wirkt.Due to the fact that in the arrangement according to the invention the telescopically telescoping tubes which are displaceable relative to one another are coupled together by means of a cable, the desired relative position of the tubes relative to one another, ie the length of the arrangement, can be adjusted by lengthening and shortening the effective length of the cable. Only small forces are required because the inventive arrangement of rope and rollers acts like a pulley.

In einer Ausführungsform erlaubt es die Erfindung, mehrere Anordnungen mit teleskopartig ineinander geschobenen Rohren gleichzeitig zu betätigen, so dass beispielsweise ein Tisch mit vier Beinen durch einen einzigen Betätigungsvorgang auf die gewünschte Höhe eingestellt werden kann. Dies ist deswegen einfach möglich, weil eine gemeinsame Betätigung von mehr als einem Seil ohne weiteres machbar ist.In one embodiment, the invention makes it possible to actuate a plurality of arrangements with telescopically telescoped tubes at the same time, so that, for example, a table with four legs can be adjusted by a single operation to the desired height. This is simply possible because joint operation of more than one rope is readily feasible.

Eine Ausführungsform der erfindungsgemäßen Anordnung mit einem über Rollen geführten Seil hat den Vorteil, dass das Heben und Senken des Tisches oder des sonstigen Bauteils, der über die teleskopartig ineinander geschobenen Rohre der Anordnung abgestützt ist, mit geringerem Kraftaufwand möglich ist (Flaschenzug-Effekt).An embodiment of the arrangement according to the invention with a guided over rollers rope has the advantage that the lifting and lowering of the table or other component, which is supported on the telescopically nested tubes of the arrangement, with less effort is possible (pulley effect).

In einer Ausführungsform erlaubt es die Erfindung, dass die Halterung für die Rolle, über welche das Seil des Seilzuges gelegt ist, gleichzeitig als Führung für das Innenrohr im Außenrohr herangezogen werden.In one embodiment, the invention allows the holder for the roller, over which the cable of the cable is laid, are simultaneously used as a guide for the inner tube in the outer tube.

Bei der Erfindung ist das Seil die Seele eines Bowdenzuges, so dass eine einfache Bedienung der Anordnung mit teleskopartig ineinander geschobenen Rohren möglich ist.In the invention, the rope is the soul of a Bowden cable, so that a simple operation of the arrangement with telescopically telescoped tubes is possible.

Um die Einstellung justieren zu können - dies ist insbesondere vorteilhaft, wenn mehrere teleskopartige Anordnungen gleichzeitig betätigt werden sollen, beispielsweise um einen Tisch oder Ähnliches waagrecht zu stellen - kann das freie Ende des Seils, über das die teleskopartig ineinander geschobenen Rohre miteinander gekuppelt sind, justierbar in einem der beiden Rohre, bevorzugt am Außenrohr, oder einem in diesem befestigten Bauteil (Umlenkrollenträger) befestigt sein.In order to adjust the setting - this is particularly advantageous if several telescopic arrangements are to be operated simultaneously, for example, to make a table or the like horizontal - can the free end of the rope over which the telescopically nested tubes are coupled together, adjustable in one of the two tubes, preferably on the outer tube, or a fastened in this component (Umlenkrollenträger) be attached.

Weitere Einzelheiten und Merkmale der Erfindung ergeben sich aus der nachstehenden Beschreibung eines bevorzugten Ausführungsbeispiels anhand der Zeichnungen.Further details and features of the invention will become apparent from the following description of a preferred embodiment with reference to the drawings.

Es zeigt: Fig. 1 einen Tisch mit vier Tischbeinen in Form der erfindungsgemäßen Anordnung mit je zwei ineinander geschobenen Rohren, Fig. 2 in vereinfachter Darstellung eine Anordnung gemäß der Erfindung mit teleskopartig ineinander geschobenen Rohren (wobei das Innenrohr nur teilweise dargestellt ist), Fig. 3 die Rohre der Anordnung aus Fig. 2 auseinandergezogen, Fig. 4 einen Horizontalschnitt durch ein Innenrohr, Fig. 5 einen Horizontalschnitt durch die ineinandergesteckten Rohre, Fig. 6 in vergrößertem Maßstab die im Außenrohr befestigte Seilzugmechanik mit Umlenkrolle, Fig. 7 die Seilzugmechanik in Vorderansicht, Fig. 8 die Seilzugmechanik von oben gesehen und Fig. 9 eine Seitenansicht der Seilzugmechanik aus Fig. 7.It shows: Fig. 1 a table with four legs in the form of the arrangement according to the invention with two telescoping tubes, Fig. 2 in a simplified representation of an arrangement according to the invention with telescopically telescoped tubes (the inner tube is only partially shown), Fig. 3 the pipes of the arrangement Fig. 2 pulled apart, Fig. 4 a horizontal section through an inner tube, Fig. 5 a horizontal section through the nested tubes, Fig. 6 on an enlarged scale, the cable pull mechanism fastened in the outer tube with deflection roller, Fig. 7 the cable pull mechanism in front view, Fig. 8 the pulley mechanics seen from above and Fig. 9 a side view of the cable mechanism Fig. 7 ,

In einer beispielsweise als Tischbein 1 ausgebildeten Anordnung sind zwei teleskopartig ineinander geschobene, im Wesentlichen rohrförmige Bauteile 3, 5 vorgesehen, im Beispiel ein Außenrohr 3 und ein in diesem geführtes Innenrohr 5. Die beiden relativ zueinander verstellbaren Teile sind miteinander durch einen Seilzug 7 gekuppelt.In an example formed as a table leg 1 arrangement two telescopically nested, substantially tubular components 3, 5 are provided, in the example an outer tube 3 and an inner tube guided in this 5. The two relatively adjustable parts are coupled together by a cable 7.

Im Einzelnen ist an einer Seitenwand 9 des Außenrohres 3 eine Bowdenzugmechanik 11 befestigt, wobei die Bowdenzugmechanik 11 eine Abstützung 13 für das Hüllrohr 15 eines Bowdenzuges 17 aufweist und eine frei drehbar gelagerte Umlenkrolle 19 aufweist, um die herum das Seil 21 des Bowdenzuges 17 geführt ist.Specifically, a Bowden cable mechanism 11 is attached to a side wall 9 of the outer tube 3, wherein the Bowden cable mechanism 11 has a support 13 for the cladding tube 15 of a Bowden cable 17 and a freely rotatably mounted guide roller 19 around which the cable 21 of the Bowden cable 17 is guided ,

Die Bowdenzugmechanik 11 (oder "Seilzugmechanik"), die an der einen Wand 4 des Außenrohres 3 befestigt ist, besteht aus einer an dem Außenrohr 3 befestigten Grundplatte 25, wobei zum Befestigen ein Bolzen 27 mit Mutter 29 vorgesehen ist und zur Lagesicherung (gegen Verdrehen) wenigstens zwei, vorzugsweise mehrere, zungenförmige Ausstanzungen 31 der Grundplatte 25 in eine Ausnehmung in der Wand 4 des Außenrohres 3 formschlüssig eingreifen.The Bowden cable mechanism 11 (or "cable mechanism"), which is fixed to the one wall 4 of the outer tube 3, consists of a base plate 25 attached to the outer tube 3, wherein for fastening a bolt 27 is provided with nut 29 and to secure the position (against rotation ) at least two, preferably a plurality of tongue-shaped punched-31 of the base plate 25 engage positively in a recess in the wall 4 of the outer tube 3.

An der Grundplatte 25 ist eine Abstützung 13 für den Bowdenzug 17 vorgesehen, die im Ausführungsbeispiel als U-Bügel ausgebildet ist. Durch den oberen Schenkel des U-Bügels greift die Hülle 15 des Bowdenzuges 17, wogegen durch den unteren Schenkel (nur) das Seil 21 greift, so dass die Hülle 15 des Bowdenzuges 17 am unteren Schenkel der U-förmigen Abstützung 13 abgestützt ist.On the base plate 25, a support 13 is provided for the Bowden cable 17, which is formed in the embodiment as a U-bracket. Through the upper leg of the U-bracket engages the sheath 15 of the Bowden cable 17, whereas by the lower leg (only) the rope 21 engages, so that the sheath 15 of the Bowden cable 17 is supported on the lower leg of the U-shaped support 13.

Eine frei drehbare Umlenkrolle 19 ist in einen U-förmig auf sich selbst umgebogenen Teil 33 der Seilzugmechanik 11 aufgenommen und dort drehbar gelagert.A freely rotatable deflection roller 19 is received in a U-shaped bent on itself part 33 of the cable pull mechanism 11 and rotatably supported there.

Am Innenrohr 5 (in Fig. 2 nur mit seinem oberen Ende dargestellt!), insbesondere an einem Ende desselben, ist eine Gegenrolle 41 frei drehbar gelagert. Das über die Umlenkrolle 19 der Bowdenzugmechanik 11 geführte Seil 21 des Bowdenzuges 17 ist über die Gegenrolle 41 am inneren Rohr 5 herum gelegt und mit seinem freien Ende am äußeren Rohr 3, insbesondere an der Bowdenzugmechanik 11, befestigt.On the inner tube 5 (in Fig. 2 shown only with its upper end!), In particular at one end thereof, a counter-roller 41 is freely rotatably mounted. The guided over the pulley 19 of the Bowden cable mechanism 11 rope 21 of the Bowden cable 17 is placed over the counter-roller 41 on the inner tube 5 around and fixed with its free end on the outer tube 3, in particular on the Bowden cable mechanism 11.

Der Gegenrolle 41 ist eine Zunge 43 zugeordnet, die vom Innenrohr 5 ausgeht und verhindert, dass das Seil 21 aus der Gegenrolle 41 läuft, und die gleichzeitig eine Begrenzung der Relativbewegung der Rohre 3 und 5 definieren kann.The counter-roller 41 is associated with a tongue 43 which extends from the inner tube 5 and prevents the rope 21 from running out of the counter-roller 41, and at the same time can define a limitation of the relative movement of the tubes 3 and 5.

Damit sich das Innenrohr 5 ungeachtet der mit der Seitenwand 4 des Außenrohres 3 verbundenen Bowdenzugmechanik 11 (mit Abstützung 13 für den Bowdenzug 17, dem Befestigungspunkt für das freie Ende des Seiles 21 und der frei drehbaren Umlenkrolle 19) bewegen kann, ist in der der Bowdenzugmechanik 11 zugekehrten Wand des Innenrohres 5 eine entsprechende (langgestreckte) Ausnehmung vorgesehen oder das Innenrohr 5 ist im Querschnitt U- bzw. C-förmig ausgebildet.Thus, the inner tube 5 regardless of the connected to the side wall 4 of the outer tube 3 Bowden cable mechanism 11 (with support 13 for the Bowden cable 17, the attachment point for the free end of the cable 21 and the freely rotatable pulley 19) can move, is in the Bowden cable mechanics 11 facing wall of the inner tube 5 is provided a corresponding (elongated) recess or the inner tube 5 is formed in cross-section U- or C-shaped.

Durch Betätigen des Bowdenzuges 17, also Verkürzen oder Verlängern des aus diesem heraustretenden Seils 21, kann die Relativlage zwischen dem Außenrohr 3 und dem Innenrohr 5 verändert werden. Wird das Seil 21 in den Bowdenzug 17 hineingezogen, bewegt sich das Innenrohr 5 aus dem Außenrohr 3 heraus und umgekehrt.By pressing the Bowden cable 17, so shortening or lengthening the emerging from this rope 21, the relative position between the outer tube 3 and the inner tube 5 can be changed. If the cable 21 is pulled into the Bowden cable 17, the inner tube 5 moves out of the outer tube 3 and vice versa.

Beispielsweise ist die Anordnung aus den zwei teleskopartig ineinanderschiebbaren Rohren in einem Tischbein 1 (vgl. Fig. 1) verwirklicht. Wenn alle vier Tischbeine 1 als erfindungsgemäße Anordnung ausgebildet, also mit einem Seilzug ausgestattet sind, besteht die Möglichkeit, die Betätigung aller vier Seile 21 gemeinsam vorzunehmen, so dass ein synchrones Verändern der Relativlage zwischen den teleskopartigen ineinander gesteckten Rohren 3, 5 und damit ein Höhenverstellen des Tisches möglich ist. Das Betätigen des wenigstens einen Bowdenzuges 17, bevorzugt aber die Betätigung mehrerer Bowdenzüge 17 (beispielsweise vier Bowdenzüge 17 für einen Tisch mit vier Beinen 1) erfolgt über einen Antrieb 51, beispielsweise mechanisch, mit einer Handkurbel 53 oder mit einem Elektromotor, kann aber auch pneumatisch oder hydraulisch erfolgen. In dem Antrieb 51 können Einstellvorrichtungen, beispielsweise Stellschrauben für das Feinjustieren der wirksamen Länge der Seile 21 der Bowdenzüge 17, vorgesehen sein, wobei bevorzugt jedem Seil 21 eine Stellschraube zugeordnet ist.For example, the arrangement of the two telescopically telescoping tubes in a table leg 1 (see. Fig. 1 ) realized. If all four table legs 1 formed as an inventive arrangement, ie equipped with a cable, it is possible to make the operation of all four cables 21 together, so that a synchronous changing the relative position between the telescoping nested tubes 3, 5 and thus a height adjustment the table is possible. The operation of the at least one Bowden cable 17, but preferably the operation of several Bowden cables 17 (for example, four Bowden cables 17 for a table with four legs 1) via a drive 51, for example mechanically, with a hand crank 53 or with an electric motor, but can also be pneumatic or hydraulically. Adjusting devices, for example adjusting screws for the fine adjustment of the effective length of the cables 21 of the Bowden cables 17, can be provided in the drive 51, wherein preferably each cable 21 is assigned an adjusting screw.

In Abänderung der beschriebenen Ausführungsform kann die Gegenrolle 41 des Innenrohres 5 an einem gesonderten, mit diesem zu verbindenden, beispielsweise im Wesentlichen U-förmigen Träger gelagert sein.In a modification of the described embodiment, the counter-roller 41 of Inner tube 5 may be mounted on a separate, to be connected to this, for example, substantially U-shaped carrier.

Ebenfalls in Abänderung der gezeigten Ausführungsform ist eine Ausführungsform in Betracht gezogen, bei welcher das freie Ende des Seils 21 nicht an der Bowdenzugmechanik 11 befestigt ist, sondern an einer anderen Stelle des Außenrohres 3.Also in modification of the embodiment shown, an embodiment is considered, in which the free end of the cable 21 is not attached to the Bowden cable mechanism 11, but at a different location of the outer tube. 3

In jedem Fall kann das freie Ende des Seils 21 an der Seilzugmechanik 11 oder einer anderen Stelle gegenüber dem Außenrohr 3 ortsfest, jedoch justierbar, befestigt sein. Beispielsweise kann dem freien Ende des Seils 21 eine Stellschraube zugeordnet sein, mit welcher die wirksame Länge des aus dem Bowdenzug 17 heraustretenden Seils 21 eingestellt werden kann. Diese Ausführungsform hat Bedeutung, wenn die erfindungsgemäße Anordnung mit zwei teleskopartig ineinander geschobenen Rohren (Außenrohr und Innenrohr) an Tischbeinen 1 verwirklicht ist, um den Tisch oder einen anderen Bauteil (Möbel) horizontal auszurichten.In any case, the free end of the cable 21 on the cable mechanism 11 or another location relative to the outer tube 3 fixed, but adjustable, be attached. For example, the adjusting rod can be assigned to the free end of the cable 21, with which the effective length of the rope 21 emerging from the Bowden cable 17 can be adjusted. This embodiment is important when the inventive arrangement with two telescopically telescoped tubes (outer tube and inner tube) is realized on table legs 1 to align the table or another component (furniture) horizontally.

Zusammenfassend kann ein Ausführungsbeispiel der Erfindung wie folgt beschrieben werden:In summary, an embodiment of the invention can be described as follows:

Eine Anordnung 1 aus zwei teleskopartig ineinander gesteckten und relativ zueinander verschiebbar geführten Rohren 3, 5 besitzt ein Außenrohr 3 und ein Innenrohr 5. An dem Außenrohr 3 ist eine Seilzuganordnung 11 mit einer Umlenkrolle 19 befestigt. Über die Umlenkrolle 19 ist das Seil 21 eines Bowdenzuges 17 geführt, dessen Hülle 15 an einer Abstützung 13 der Seilzuganordnung 11 abgestützt ist. An dem oberen Ende des Innenrohres 5 ist frei drehbar eine Gegenrolle 41 gelagert, das Seil 21 wird, nachdem es über die Umlenkrolle 19 des äußeren Rohres 3 geführt worden ist, über die Gegenrolle 41 am inneren Rohr 5 geführt und dann wieder zu der Seilzuganordnung 11 geführt und dort befestigt. Durch Betätigen des Seiles 21 wird die Relativlage der Rohre 3, 5 zueinander verändert, sodass auch die Länge der Anordnung 1 verändert wird.An arrangement 1 of two telescopically nested and relatively displaceably guided tubes 3, 5 has an outer tube 3 and an inner tube 5. On the outer tube 3, a cable assembly 11 is fixed with a guide roller 19. About the guide roller 19, the cable 21 of a Bowden cable 17 is guided, the sheath 15 is supported on a support 13 of the cable assembly 11. At the upper end of the inner tube 5, a counter-roller 41 is freely rotatably mounted, the rope 21, after it has been guided over the deflection roller 19 of the outer tube 3, passed over the counter-roller 41 on the inner tube 5 and then back to the cable pull arrangement 11 guided and fastened there. By pressing the cable 21, the relative position of the tubes 3, 5 is changed to each other, so that the length of the assembly 1 is changed.
