Description

The present invention relates to a holding device for at least one holding device for holding at least one object. According to a further aspect, the present invention relates to a holding device for holding at least one object, such as e.g. Ampoules and the like. Finally, the present invention relates to a frame in order to attach thereto one or more holding devices, in particular with one or more holding devices attached thereto.

Holding devices for ampoules have long been known in the art. Such holding devices, which are also referred to as "Ampullarium", are used for safe storage and transport of mostly made of glass and thus easily breakable ampoules containing medical substances. For example, in the field of emergency medicine, the ambulance must carry such ampoule with ampoules containing cardiovascular drugs, anesthetics and painkillers, etc. included. The exact placement and number of ampoules required will be selected by the emergency physician depending on the type of use. Therefore arise in different applications, such. the mountain rescue or in the ambulance, in each case other necessities. There is therefore a great need for flexible and individually configurable solutions for the assembly of ampoules and their storage for safe storage and transport. Due to the risk of breakage of the ampoules, which are also largely provided with predetermined breaking points, is a safe storage, which avoids a collision of the ampoules or a release of the ampoules from the holder even when shaken, of great importance. In addition, such Ampullarium must also be designed to save space as possible, for example, because the space in the backpack of active in mountain rescue emergency medical care is very limited. Such ampoules have different sizes, which further complicates their fixation and support. The arrangement of the ampoules must also be sufficiently clear to allow quick access to the correct ampoule and to avoid confusion.

According to solutions known in the prior art, ampoules are held, for example by means of loops formed of elastic bands, in pockets formed as a case. In this way, it is indeed possible to transport the ampoules protected shockproof relatively safe from the risk of breakage, but it is wasted a lot of space. This previously known System is also not flexible, since ampoules can only be placed where there are loops. Also determines the size of the loop of the attached at this point ampoule. In addition, the loop usually also covers the attached on the ampoule label, which designates the contents of the ampoule. If more than the existing slots for ampoules are needed, this can not be retrofitted. If less than the existing slots are needed, unnecessary space is wasted.

The publication US 2 710 694 A describes holding devices whose primary aim is to provide a combination holder and closure for ampoules, bottles and the like.

The invention is therefore based on the object to avoid the disadvantages of the prior art, and in particular to improve a holding device of the type mentioned in such a way that a secure, space-saving, individually adjustable and clear holder for the objects, such. Ampoules, for example, for storage and / or for the transport of the same is possible.

Based on Fig. 1a-1d In the following, a first embodiment of a holding device or holder 10 according to the invention will be explained in more detail. The holding device 10 has a first section or part 11 and a second section or part 12. The first section 11 is shown in FIG Fig. 1a-1d formed under the second portion 12. Both sections 11, 12 have respective longitudinal axes L ₁ and L ₂ , which are arranged offset from each other by 90 degrees (see. Fig. 1d ). The first section 11 has a substantially sleeve-like construction in order to attach the holding device 10 according to the invention to a holding device or holding strip or holding rail 1 (cf. Fig. 4 ). The representation of the Fig. 1c It can be seen clearly that the first portion 11 has a recess or opening 13 which has a constant cross-sectional profile of substantially oval shape over the length of the first portion 1. The recess or opening 13 has a first adjoining the second portion 12 inner wall 13a, which is flat or flat. The inner wall of the 13a opposite, ie at the end of the opening 13 facing away from the second portion 12 of the holding device 10, a second inner wall 13b is provided. One takes the representation of the Fig. 1c clearly that the second inner wall 13b, which is opposite to the first inner wall 13a, projects towards the center inwards and thus is slightly convex. This configuration of the second inner wall 13b ensures that a clamping action is achieved when the holding device 10 by means of the first section 11 on a holding device 1 (see. Fig. 4 ) is plugged. The holding device 10 is thus fixed somewhat on the holding device, so that although a raising and lowering of the holding device 10 on the or the holding device 1 (see FIG. Fig. 4 ) is possible, but an automatic slippage of a plugged on the holding device 10 is excluded. The holding device 10 is formed, so to speak, as a rider. In addition to the two inner walls 13a, 13b, the opening 13 has two likewise oppositely arranged and substantially semicircular inner walls 13c and 13d. The second portion 12 of the holding device 10 serves to receive or attach an object with an approximately circular cross-section, such as an ampoule or the like. For this purpose, the second section 12 has a flat contact region 14. The representation of the Fig. 1c one can clearly see that the flat contact area 14 and so that the second portion 12 protrudes at both ends in the direction of the longitudinal axis L ₂ over the first portion 11. The representation of the Fig. 1b If one deduces that the cross-sectional profile of the planar abutment region 14 has a circular section shape which substantially coincides with that of the ampoule to be held. Of the flat contact area 14 are in the embodiment shown four retaining arms 15, 16, 17 and 18 from. The holding arms 15 and 16 are provided on one longitudinal side of the planar contact region 14, while the two other holding arms 17 and 18 are formed on the opposite longitudinal side of the planar contact region 14. The holding arms 16 and 17 and 15 and 18 are arranged opposite to each other, but offset in the direction of the longitudinal axis L ₂ by approximately the thickness of one of the support arms offset from one another. This can be clearly seen in the illustration of Figures 1c and 1d remove. Basically, the holding arms 15-18 are identical and also have a circular section shape (see. Fig. 1b ), corresponding to the circular section shape of the planar contact area 14 and thus the male (not shown) ampoule, so that by the flat contact area 14 and the support arms 15-18 more than half the circumference of an ampoule in the second section 12 of the holding device 10 inserted state held and fixed. The holding arm 15-18 therefore continue the flat contact area 14 upwards interrupted. The holding device 10 is preferably made in one piece from a plastic material and the holding arms 15-18 provide by their resilient action a secure hold for an inserted into the second section 12, the holding device 10 (not shown) ampoule. The staggered arrangement of the respective opposing ordered retaining arms 15, 18 and 16, 17 serves on the one hand to provide a secure hold for the ampoule, and on the other to the space-saving possibility of tight stringing together various holding devices 10 on the holding device 1 (see. 4 and 5 ). This is due to the fact that the holding arms 17 and 18 of a second holding device 10 can lie next to the holding arms 15 and 16 of a first holding device 10, so that the distance between two ampoules makes up the thickness of only one of the holding arms, while in a non-staggered arrangement of the holding arms minimum distance of two times the thickness of a support arm would give.

Although ampoules are not standardized, there are basically three different basic sizes of ampoules, according to the invention according to these basic sizes, three differently sized holding devices 10 are provided. In this case, the formation of the first portion 11 of these different sized with respect to the holding devices 10 is not different from each other; however, the respective second sections are 12, ie in particular the flat contact area 14 and the holding arms, this formed differently in terms of size holding devices 10 according to the different sizes of the ampoules, so that according to the invention ampoules of different sizes can also be kept side by side (see. Fig. 5 ). For particularly large or particularly unusually shaped ampoules, in a (not shown) embodiment, a variant of a holding device 10 is provided which has instead of the holding arms 15-18 slots on the two opposite longitudinal sides of the planar contact area 14 through which an elastic rubber band is guided , The ampoule is then inserted in this variant of the invention in the rubber band and the rubber band can be tightened for better attachment. The ampoule is then pressed by the rubber band against the flat contact area and held.

In conjunction with the FIGS. 2a-2d In the following, a second embodiment of a holding device 10 'according to the invention will be explained in more detail. That in the FIGS. 2a-2d The illustrated second embodiment is generally similar to that previously described in connection with FIGS Figures 1a-1d described first embodiment. In particular, the formation of the first sections 11 of the holding devices 10, 10 'according to the invention is identical. However, the two embodiments of the holding devices 10, 10 'differ in terms of the structure of the second portion 12 and 12'. The second section 12 'of the holding device 10' has a total of six holding arms 25-30. Three of the holding arms, namely the holding arms 25, 26 and 29, are arranged on one longitudinal end side of the planar abutment region 14, while the three remaining holding arms 27, 28 and 30 are arranged on the opposite longitudinal end side of the planar abutment region 14. The holding arms are in contrast to the first embodiment in the holding device 10 'according to the invention arranged according to the second embodiment without offset from one another in the direction of the longitudinal axis L ₂ . The representations of the Fig. 2a and 2d It can be seen clearly that the support arms 25 and 28, 26 and 27, 29 and 30 are opposite each other without offset. However, the holding arms 25-30 of the second embodiment of the holding device 10 'according to the invention do not all have the same length. One takes the representation of the Fig. 2a clearly that the support arms 25, 27 and 29 are more than twice as long as the remaining support arms 26, 28 and 30. In this case, the arrangement is such that in each case a short holding arm is opposite a long holding arm. The long arm 25 is the short arm 28 opposite, the short arm 26 is the long arm 27 and the long arm 29 is the short arm 30 opposite. Because on one Two long holding arms, namely the holding arms 25 and 29, are arranged on the longitudinal end side of the planar contact area, while only one long holding arm, namely the holding arm 27, is arranged on the other longitudinal end side of the flat contact area 14, resulting in an asymmetrical arrangement of short and long holding arms. So while the support arms are generally not offset from each other, it is the long or short support arms. The primary purpose of the long holding arms 27, 29 and 30 consists in the additional support of another ampoule by means of the holding device 10 'according to the invention of the second embodiment. By the extension or the extension of the long holding arms 27, 29 and 30, it is possible if an ampoule is already inserted into the holding device 10 'according to the invention and is obtained there from all six holding arms 25-30, to put a second ampoule over it , which is then held only by the three remaining long holding arms 25, 27 and 29. In this case, the second outer ampoule is also located on the first inner ampoule. The holding arms 25, 27 and 29 have a first portion (see. Fig. 2b ), which is generally formed correspondingly in short holding arms 26, 28 and 30. Following this first section, however, an extension in the form of a second section is provided in the long holding arms 25, 27 and 29, which first extends inwardly, to then have a further circular section shape, which laterally applies the male ampoule to be accommodated. By guiding this extension inwards a better holding effect for the second ampoule is achieved.

With reference to the Fig. 3a-3d In the following, a third exemplary embodiment of a holding device 10 "according to the invention will be described in more detail, in contrast to the first two exemplary embodiments, the holding device 10" does not serve to hold an ampoule. Instead, the holding device 10 "serves, for example, to receive a shield, whereby the shield 40 is merely Fig. 3a in a state removed from the holding device 10 ". With regard to the construction, the first section 11 of the holding device 10" is formed as in the two previously described embodiments. However, the second portion 12 "has a rectangular plate 44, the longitudinal end sides 44a and 44b of which are bent upward, ie away from the first portion 11. Through these bent longitudinal sides 44a and 44b, a guide and support for the paper, cardboard The orientation of the plate 44 is such that its longitudinal central axis L ₂ is identical to the longitudinal central axis L _{1 of} the section 11 (see FIG. Fig. 3d ). According to the invention therefore not only holding devices 10, 10 'which provided here for holding the ampoules are, on the holding devices 1 according to the invention (see. Fig. 4 But also holding devices for other objects, such as the previously described holding device 10 ", which: is provided for attaching a label .Thus, the arrangement is particularly clear and secure to use.

Based on the highly schematic longitudinal section of the Fig. 4 In the following, an exemplary embodiment of the retaining device 1 designed according to the invention as a guide or rail will be explained in more detail. The holding device 1 has a substantially elongate base body 2, which has a constant cross-sectional profile substantially over the entire length. The cross-sectional profile of the elongated base body 2 of the holding device 1 is complementary to that of the opening 13 of the holding devices 10, 10 'and 10 " a material recess in the form of a centrally disposed and rectangular in cross-section thin slit 3 is provided, whereby two tongues 4 and 5 are formed Fig. 4 It can be clearly seen that the outer cross-section of the first end 1a of the elongate base body 2 corresponds to that of the holding device 1. According to the invention, the holding devices 10, 10 'and 10 "are plugged onto the holding device 1 via this first end 1a. The second end 1b has another extended outer cross-sectional shape and serves in particular as a stop, since the holding devices 10, 10' and 10" do not have over the second end 1 b of the holding device 1 can be pushed. At the second end 1b, a second fastening device is provided, which is formed as a circular segment-shaped clip 6 in the illustrated embodiment. The representation of the Fig. 4 in the longitudinal section it is clearly evident that the clip 6 extends from the elongate base 2 upwards in a circular shape and then below it, so that in longitudinal section it is slightly more than semicircular. Also in Fig. 4 are shown in dashed lines two parallel bars 101 and 102, which form part of a frame 100, which in more detail in conjunction with Fig. 6 is explained in more detail. The rod 101 has on its to the inside of the frame 100 or on one of the rod 102 facing region in cross-section wedge-shaped recess 110. Accordingly, the rod 102 has a rod 101 facing wedge-shaped recess 111. The first end 1a of the holding device 1 with the formed thereon first fastening means is partially or completely arranged in the intended installation position in the wedge-shaped recess 110 of the rod 101. By provided through the slot 3 resilient effect the two tongues 4 and 5, the holding device 1 is fixed in position. The actual attachment of the holding device 1 to the frame 100 is ensured by a clamping attachment of the clip 6 on the outer circumference of the rod 102. The schematic representation of Fig. 4 If one clearly recognizes that the holding device 1 could also be fastened to the two bars 101, 102 of the frame 100 the other way around, ie with exchanged first and second ends 1a, 1b. In this case, the holding device 1 can also be arranged on the other side on the rods 101, 102, that is, not only left and right, but also up and down reversed. There are therefore a total of four ways of attaching the holding device 1 to the two rods 101, 102, which contributes to the particular flexibility of the system according to the invention.

The schematic representation of Fig. 5 If one takes an arrangement of ampoules 70, 71, 72, 73, 74 and 75 (the sake of clarity, the holding device 1 is omitted for simplicity) of different sizes next to each other are lined up tight. The ampoules can have different sizes. Thus, for example, the ampoule designated 70 is a "small" ampoule, the ampoules designated 71-74 are "medium" ampoules and at 75 a "large" ampoule is indicated. One recognizes with the Fig. 5 clearly the retaining arms of the holding device 10 and moreover takes that the distance between each two of the ampoules, eg between the ampoules 71 and 72, by the staggered arrangement of the holding arms in the first embodiment of a holding device 10 according to the invention only once corresponds to the thickness of a support arm. Furthermore, one takes the Fig. 5 in that a holding device 10 "(again the further holding device 1 provided for this purpose is not shown in the illustration for the sake of simplicity) is arranged above the ampoule 70 for labeling thereof.

In Fig. 6 1, the structure of a rack 100 according to the invention is shown schematically, to which one or more holding devices 1 with holding devices 10, 10 'and 10 "mounted thereon can be fastened The rack 100 has two parallel bars 101 and 102, which are connected by cross bars 103 and 104 are connected by means of four angle pieces 105a-105d to a first, in the exemplary embodiment rectangular, frame 108. The first frame 108 formed by the longitudinal bars 101, 102 and the transverse rods 103, 104 and the angle pieces 105a-105d is already sufficient in one embodiment to However, the two rods 101 and 102 could, for example, also be fastened in a case, so that their fixation and their spacing is ensured by appropriate attachment of the rods 101 and 102 to the case. The transverse rods and angle pieces are therefore unnecessary in this variant of the invention. To make the structure of the invention as flexible as possible, however, a modular structure is provided and in Fig. 6 shown. For this purpose, the frame 100 has a second frame 109, which is formed according to the first frame 108 by the longitudinal bars 121 and 122 to the transverse rods 123 and 124. Spacers in the form of transverse bars 130-133 are provided between the two frames 108, 109. The transverse bars 130 and 131 are attached to the rod 122, preferably integrally or integrally formed with the angle pieces 125d and 125a, and the rod 102 is located on the rod 122 facing away from the ends of the transverse bars 130 and 131. By appropriate choice of material and shape of these opposite ends of the transverse bars 130 and 131, a clamping action of the rod 102 and thus a stabilization of the frame 100 can be achieved.
