Description

Die vorliegende Erfindung betrifft eine Stützgriff-Anordnung nach dem Oberbegriff des Anspruchs 1.The present invention relates to a support handle assembly according to the preamble of claim 1.

Stützgriff-Anordnungen der eingangs genannten Art werden als Hilfsmittel insbesondere im Bereich von Sanitäreinrichtungen eingesetzt und sollen insbesondere älteren und/oder gehbehinderten Menschen eine Abstützung oder Sicherung ihres Gleichgewichts bei Benutzung der Sanitäreinrichtungen ermöglichen. Um die zum Teil nicht unbeträchtliche Belastung der Stützgriff-Anordnung, also die bei einer Abstützung des Körpergewichts möglichen Stützlasten, ohne eine Deformation des Griffrohrs aufnehmen zu können, sind die Griffrohre derartiger Stützgriff-Anordnungen in den Fällen, in denen die Griffrohrlängen eine definierte Auskragung überschreiten, mit einem Stützholm versehen, der das frei auskragende Ende des Griffrohrs gegen die Wand bzw. die Montageplatte abstützt. Dabei ist der sich zwischen der Wand oder Montageplatte und dem freien Ende des Griffrohrs erstreckende Stützholm über Anschlusseinrichtungen mit der Wand oder der Montageplatte und dem freien Griffrohrende verbunden.Support handle arrangements of the type mentioned are used as auxiliaries, especially in the field of sanitary facilities and should allow in particular elderly and / or handicapped people to support or secure their balance when using the sanitary facilities. In order to be able to absorb the sometimes not inconsiderable load on the support handle arrangement, ie the support loads that are possible when supporting the body weight, without deformation of the grip tube, the grip tubes are such support grip arrangements in the cases in which the handle tube lengths exceed a defined projection, provided with a support spar which supports the cantilevered end of the handle tube against the wall or the mounting plate. In this case, the extending between the wall or mounting plate and the free end of the handle tube support beam is connected via connection means with the wall or the mounting plate and the free handle tube end.

Eine Stützgriff-Anordnung der eingangs genannten Art, die als eine gegenüber der Montageplatte verschwenkbare Stützgriff-Anordnung ausgebildet ist, ist etwa aus der EP 1 093 751 A2 bekannt. Bei der bekannten Anordnung ist zur Ausbildung der ersten Anschlusseinrichtung ein parallel zum Griffrohr verlaufender Stützholm mit einem wandseitigen Anschlussende über einen Verbindungsstab kraftschlüssig mit dem an die Montageplatte kraftschlüssig angeschlossenen Anschlussende des Griffrohrs verbunden. Als zweite Anschlusseinrichtung ist das dem freien Griffrohrende zugeordnete Anschlussende des Stützholms über ein separates, hier halbkreisbogenförmiges Anschlussstück mit dem freien Griffrohrende verbunden. Insbesondere aufgrund der als separates Teil ausgebildeten Anschlusseinrichtung erweist sich die bekannte Stützgriff-Anordnung als relativ komplex in der Ausführung, womit ein entsprechender Montageaufwand bei der Herstellung bzw. Montage der bekannten Stützgriff-Anordnung verbunden ist.A support handle assembly of the type mentioned, which is designed as a relative to the mounting plate pivotable support handle assembly is approximately from the EP 1 093 751 A2 known. In the known arrangement, a parallel to the handle tube extending support spar with a wall-side terminal end via a connecting rod is non-positively connected to the non-positively connected to the mounting plate connection end of the handle tube to form the first connection device. As a second connection device, the free end of the handle tube end associated terminal end of the support member is connected via a separate, here semi-circular arc-shaped connection piece with the free handle tube end. In particular, due to the connection device designed as a separate part, the known support handle arrangement proves to be relatively complex in design, with which a corresponding installation effort in the manufacture or assembly of the known support handle assembly is connected.

Aus der US 2006/053547 A1 ist eine Stützgriff-Anordnung bekannt, bei der ein Stützholm, der zur Abstützung eines Griffrohrs dient, an einem Anschlussende über eine Muffenverbindung mit dem Griffrohr verbunden ist.From the US 2006/053547 A1 a support handle assembly is known in which a support spar, which serves to support a handle tube, is connected at a connection end via a socket connection with the handle tube.

Die DE 10 2006 045867 A1 zeigt eine Stützgriff-Anordnung mit einem Griffrohr, dessen freies Ende von einem Stützholm abgestützt wird, der mit einem Anschlussende über eine Schweißverbindung mit dem Griffrohrende verbunden ist.The DE 10 2006 045867 A1 shows a support handle assembly with a handle tube whose free end is supported by a support spar which is connected to a terminal end via a welded joint with the handle tube end.

Aus der EP 1 967 112 A2 ist eine Stützgriff-Anordnung bekannt mit einem Griffrohr, dessen freies Ende von einem Stützholm abgestützt wird, der über ein Bogenstück oder eine Anschlussplatte mit dem Griffrohr verbunden ist.From the EP 1 967 112 A2 is a support handle assembly known with a handle tube whose free end is supported by a support spar which is connected via a curved piece or a connection plate with the handle tube.

Der vorliegenden Erfindung liegt die Aufgabe zugrunde, eine Stützgriff-Anordnung vorzuschlagen, die über eine besonders einfach ausgestaltete und dennoch betriebssichere Anschlusseinrichtung zur kraftschlüssigen Verbindung des dem freien Griffrohrende zugewandten Anschlussendes des Stützholms verfügt und somit eine vereinfachte Herstellung bzw. Montage der Stützgriff-Anordnung ermöglicht.The present invention has for its object to provide a support handle assembly, which has a particularly simple designed yet reliable connection device for non-positive connection of the free handle tube end facing terminal end of the support spar and thus allows a simplified manufacture or assembly of the support handle assembly.

Diese Aufgabe wird durch eine Stützgriff-Anordnung mit den Merkmalen des Anspruchs 1 gelöst.This object is achieved by a support handle assembly having the features of claim 1.

Bei der erfindungsgemäßen Stützgriff-Anordnung ist zur Ausbildung der dem freien Griffrohrende zugeordneten zweiten Anschlusseinrichtung zwischen einem Anschlussende des Stützholms und dem Griffrohr eine Eingriffsverbindung ausgebildet, derart, dass das Anschlussende und das Griffrohr einen spitzen Anschlusswinkel einschließen und das Anschlussende durch eine Eintrittsöffnung in das Griffrohr eingeführt ist, derart, dass sich ein axiales Stützende des Stützholms an einem durch eine Rohrinnenwand des Griffrohrs gebildeten Stützanschlag abstützt.In the support handle arrangement according to the invention, an engagement connection is formed between a terminal end of the support spar and the handle tube for forming the free handle tube end, such that the connection end and the handle tube include an acute connection angle and inserted the connection end through an inlet opening in the handle tube is such that an axial support end of the support spar is supported on a support stop formed by a pipe inner wall of the handle tube.

Bei der erfindungsgemäßen Stützgriff-Anordnung ist demnach eine kraftschlüssige Verbindung des dem freien Griffrohrende des Griffrohrs zugewandten Anschlussendes des Stützholms mit dem Griffrohr in besonders einfacher Art und Weise dadurch möglich, dass die Anschlusseinrichtung als Steckverbindung ausgebildet ist, bei der das Anschlussende in das Griffrohr eingeführt ist. Da sich das axiale Stützende des Stützholms an der Rohrinnenwand des Griffrohrs abstützt, bewirkt eine auf das Griffrohr wirkende Stützlast eine das Griffrohr und das Anschlussende des Stützholms zusammenführende Reaktionskraft, so dass besondere Maßnahmen, die einer Trennung der Eingriffsverbindung entgegenwirken, zur Sicherung der Eingriffsverbindung nicht notwendig sind. Vielmehr ist durch die Art und Weise der Ausführung der Anschlusseinrichtung die Eingriffsverbindung selbstsichernd ausgeführt, ohne dass das Anschlussende zusätzlich mit dem Griffrohr stoff- oder kraftschlüssig verbunden sein müsste.In the support handle assembly according to the invention therefore a frictional connection of the free handle tube end of the handle tube facing terminal end of the support member to the handle tube in a particularly simple manner possible in that the connection device is designed as a plug connection, wherein the terminal end is inserted into the handle tube , Since the axial support end of the support spar is supported on the tube inner wall of the handle tube, a supporting load acting on the handle tube causes a reaction force which joins the handle tube and the connection end of the support spar, so that special measures which counteract a separation of the engagement connection are not necessary for securing the engagement connection are. Rather, by the manner of execution of the connection device, the engagement compound is designed to be self-locking, without the connection end additionally having to be materially or non-positively connected to the grip tube.

Insbesondere ist es nicht notwendig, eine Schweiß- oder Lotverbindung zwischen dem Anschlussende des Stützholms und dem Griffrohr vorzusehen, um die Eingriffsverbindung zu sichern. Diese "selbstsichernde" Wirkung wird noch dadurch unterstützt, dass das Anschlussende und das Griffrohr unter einem spitzen Anschlusswinkel zusammentreffen, so dass insbesondere im Griffrohr aufgrund der Stützlast auftretende Schubbelastungen unmittelbar als Druckkräfte in den Stützholm eingeleitet werden können.In particular, it is not necessary to provide a weld or solder connection between the terminal end of the support spar and the handle tube to secure the mating connection. This "self-locking" effect is further supported by the fact that the terminal end and the handle tube meet under an acute connection angle, so that in particular in the handle tube due to the vertical load occurring thrust loads can be initiated directly as compressive forces in the support beam.

Da die in der Griffrohrwandung ausgebildete Eintrittsöffnung einen Öffnungsrand aufweist, der korrespondierend zum Umfang des Anschlussendes des Stützholms in einer durch einen Öffnungsquerschnitt der Eintrittsöffnung definierten Öffnungsebene verläuft, ist ein im wesentlichen spaltfreier Anschluss des Stützholms an das Griffrohr möglich, so dass nicht nur der Öffnungsrand der Eintrittsöffnung im Griffrohr zur Krafteinleitung in den Stützholm zusätzlich zu dem durch die Rohrinnenwand des Griffrohrs gebildeten Stützanschlag beiträgt, sondern darüber hinaus ein äußerlich besonders ästhetisch anmutender Anschluss des Stützholms an das Griffrohr ermöglicht wird, der im wesentlichen keiner weiteren Nachbearbeitung, beispielsweise durch Verfüllen eines Spaltes, bedarf, um auch höchsten ästhetischen Ansprüchen gerecht zu werden.Since the inlet opening formed in the handle tube wall has an opening edge which extends corresponding to the circumference of the connection end of the support spar in an opening plane defined by an opening cross section of the inlet opening, a substantially gap-free connection of the support spar to the handle tube is possible, so that not only the opening edge of the Entrance opening in the handle tube for introducing force into the support spar in addition to the formed by the pipe inner wall of the handle tube support stop, but also an externally particularly aesthetically pleasing connection of the support beam is made possible on the handle tube, which essentially no further post-processing, for example by filling a gap requires to meet the highest aesthetic standards.

Um eine insbesondere hinsichtlich der auftretenden Flächenpressung schonende Krafteinleitung vom Griffrohr in den Stützholm zu ermöglichen, ist es vorteilhaft, wenn das axiale Stützende des Stützholms eine an eine Anschlagfläche des Stützanschlags des Griffrohrs angeschmiegte Stirnfläche aufweist.In order to enable a gentle introduction of force from the grip tube into the support spar, in particular with regard to the occurring surface pressure, it is advantageous if the axial support end of the support spar has an end face which is screwed against a stop surface of the support stop of the grip tube.

Insbesondere bei der Verwendung besonders dünnwandiger Rohre als Stützholm kann es sich als vorteilhaft erweisen, wenn der Stützanschlag durch eine gegen die Rohrinnenwand anliegende Stützplatte gebildet ist, so dass im Übergangsbereich zwischen dem axialen Stützende des Stützholms und dem Griffrohr auftretende Spannungsspitzen abgebaut werden können.In particular, when using particularly thin-walled tubes as a support beam, it may prove advantageous if the support stop is formed by a voltage applied against the pipe inner wall support plate, so that in the transition region between the axial support end of the support spar and the handle tube occurring stress peaks can be reduced.

In einer in ihrer Relativposition gegenüber der Wand unveränderlich ausgebildeten Stützgriff-Anordnung, bei der zur Ausbildung der kraftschlüssigen Verbindung zwischen dem Griffrohr und der Montageplatte das Anschlussende des Griffrohrs starr mit der Montageplatte verbunden ist, kann sich der Stützholm zur Ausbildung der ersten Anschlusseinrichtung mit einem Stützholmende an der Montageplatte oder der Befestigungswand abstützen, so dass ein besonders einfacher Aufbau einer Stützgriff-Anordnung ermöglicht wird.In one in their relative position relative to the wall invariably trained support handle assembly in which the terminal end of the handle tube is rigidly connected to the mounting plate to form the frictional connection between the handle tube and the mounting plate, the support spar for forming the first connection device with a Stützholmende on the mounting plate or the mounting wall supported, so that a particularly simple construction of a support handle assembly is made possible.

Bei einer hinsichtlich ihrer Relativposition gegenüber der Wand variablen Stützgriffanordnung, bei der zur Ausbildung der kraftschlüssigen Verbindung zwischen dem Griffrohr und der Montageplatte das Anschlussende des Griffrohrs mittels einer Schwenkgelenkanordnung um eine horizontale Schwenkachse verschwenkbar mit der Montageplatte verbunden ist, kann der Stützholm zur Ausbildung der ersten Anschlusseinrichtung besonders vorteilhaft über einen Verbindungsstab kraftschlüssig mit dem Griffrohr verbunden sein, so dass das Griffrohr zusammen mit dem Stützholm eine in ihrer Gesamtheit gegenüber der Montageplatte verschwenkbare Griffrohr-Anordnung ausbildet, wobei zur Montage des Stützholms am Griffrohr neben der als Steckverbindung ausgebildeten Anschlusseinrichtung am freien Ende des Griffrohrs lediglich eine durch den Verbindungsstab gebildete Anschlusseinrichtung stoff- oder kraftschlüssig auszuführen ist.In a respect to their relative position relative to the wall variable support handle assembly in which the terminal end of the handle tube is connected by a pivot joint about a horizontal pivot axis pivotally connected to the mounting plate to form the frictional connection between the handle tube and the mounting plate, the support spar for forming the first connection device Particularly advantageous be connected via a connecting rod frictionally with the handle tube, so that the handle tube together with the support rail in its entirety relative to the mounting plate pivotable handle tube arrangement forms, for mounting the support beam on the handle tube next to the connector designed as a connection device at the free end of the Grip tube is only a material formed by the connecting rod connection device or non-positively execute.

Unabhängig von einer starren oder einer verschwenkbaren Ausführung der Stützgriff-Anordnung ist der Begriff "Montageplatte" im Zusammenhang mit der Erfindung nicht beschränkt auf eine plattenförmige Ausgestaltung zu verstehen, sondern allgemein als eine Wandanschlußeinrichtung, die eine rückseitige Anlage an die Befestigungswand ermöglicht.Regardless of a rigid or a pivotable embodiment of the support handle assembly, the term "mounting plate" in the context of the invention is not limited to a plate-like configuration to understand, but generally as a wall connection device that allows a rear abutment against the mounting wall.

Wenn darüber hinaus zur Ausbildung der kraftschlüssigen Verbindung zwischen dem Griffrohr und dem Stützholm der Verbindungsstab lösbar mit dem Griffrohr und/oder dem Stützholm verbunden ist, ist die Montage bzw. die Verbindung des Stützholms mit dem Griffrohr in besonders einfacher Art und Weise durchführbar.If, in addition to the formation of the frictional connection between the handle tube and the support member of the connecting rod is detachably connected to the handle tube and / or the support spar, the assembly or the connection of the support member to the handle tube in a particularly simple manner feasible.

Als besonders vorteilhaft erweist es sich in dem vorgenannten Fall, wenn der Verbindungsstab als Stabhülse ausgebildet ist, die vermittels einer in der Stabhülse aufgenommenen Verbindungsschraube sowohl mit dem Griffrohr als auch mit dem Stützholm kraftschlüssig verbunden ist. Nachfolgend wird ein bevorzugtes Ausführungsbeispiel der Erfindung anhand der Zeichnung näher erläutert.It proves to be particularly advantageous in the aforementioned case when the connecting rod is formed as a rod sleeve, which is positively connected by means of a recorded in the rod sleeve connecting screw both with the handle tube and with the support beam. Hereinafter, a preferred embodiment of the invention will be explained in more detail with reference to the drawing.

Wie Fig. 3 ferner zeigt, ist die Montageplatte 21 auf ihrer Vorderseite 26 gegenüberliegend einer Montagerückwand 27 mit zwei parallel zueinander und auskragend ungeordneten Lagerwangen 28, 29 versehen, die zur Ausbildung einer Schwenklageranordnung 50 eine Schwenkachse 33 zwischen sich aufnehmen. Wie in Fig. 1 durch den Richtungspfeil angedeutet, kann das Griffrohr 36 um die Schwenkachse 33 nach oben aus der in Fig. 1 dargestellten Benutzungsstellung in eine Nichtbenutzungsstellung vcrschwcnkt werden kann, in der das Griffrohr 36 gegen eine Befestigungswand 24 verschwenkt ist, die zur Wandbefestigung der Montageplatte 21 dient. Fig. 1 shows a support handle assembly with a, in particular in Fig. 3 represented, in the present case by a decorative housing 23 covered mounting plate 21 and a handle tube assembly 22. Wie Fig. 3 also shows, the mounting plate 21 is provided on its front side 26 opposite a mounting rear wall 27 with two parallel to each other and cantilevered disordered bearing cheeks 28, 29 which receive a pivot axis 33 between them to form a pivot bearing assembly 50. As in Fig. 1 indicated by the directional arrow, the handle tube 36 about the pivot axis 33 upwardly out of the in Fig. 1 shown use position can be verkcrnkt in a non-use position, in which the handle tube 36 is pivoted against a mounting wall 24, which serves for wall mounting of the mounting plate 21.

Zur Lagerung auf der Schwenkachse 33 ist in einem der Montageplatte 21 zugewandten Anschlussende 35 des Griffrohrs 36 ein Anschlussstück 37 eingesetzt, das an seinem der Montageplatte 21 zugewandten Ende mit einer durch eine Abflachung gebildeten Stützfläche 45 versehen ist, mit der das Anschlussstück 37 in der in Fig. 3 dargestellten Benutzungsstellung abstützend gegen einen an der Montageplatte 21 ausgebildeten Stützanschlag 46 anliegt.For mounting on the pivot axis 33, a connecting piece 37 is inserted into a mounting plate 21 facing the connecting end 35 of the handle tube 36, which is provided at its mounting plate 21 facing the end with a support surface 45 formed by a flattening, with which the connector 37 in the in Fig. 3 shown usage position supporting abuts against a formed on the mounting plate 21 support stop 46.

Wie insbesondere Fig. 2 zeigt, ist das im Falle des vorliegenden Ausführungsbeispiels als Vierkantrohr ausgebildete Griffrohr 36 mit einem Stützholm 66 versehen, der sich zur Versteifung des Griffrohrs 36 unterhalb des Griffrohrs 36 mit einer Stützlänge zwischen zwei Anschlusseinrichtungen 67, 68 erstreckt und über die Anschlusseinrichtungen 67, 68 kraftschlüssig mit dem Griffrohr 36 verbunden ist. Dabei weist die der Montageplatte 21 zugewandte bzw. dem Anschlussende 35 des Griffrohrs 36 zugeordnete Anschlusseinrichtung 67, wie inbesondere in Fig. 3 dargestellt, einen Verbindungsstab 69 auf, mit einer Stabhülse 70, in der eine Verbindungsschraube 71 geführt ist, die das Anschlussende 35 des Griffrohrs 36 mit einem Anschlussende 72 des Stützholms 66 verspannt. Hierzu ist ein Gewindeende der Verbindungsschraube 71 in das Anschlussstück 37 des Griffrohrs 36 eingeschraubt und ein Schraubenkopf 73 stützt sich auf einem im Stützholm 66 angeordneten Anschlussstück 74 ab.In particular Fig. 2 shows, in the case of the present embodiment designed as a square tube handle tube 36 is provided with a support spar 66 which extends to stiffen the handle tube 36 below the handle tube 36 with a support length between two terminal devices 67, 68 and the connecting devices 67, 68 non-positively the handle tube 36 is connected. Here, the mounting plate 21 facing or the terminal end 35 of the handle tube 36 associated terminal device 67, as in particular in Fig. 3 shown, a connecting rod 69, with a rod sleeve 70, in which a connecting screw 71 is guided, which braces the terminal end 35 of the handle tube 36 with a terminal end 72 of the support spar 66. For this purpose, a threaded end of the connecting screw 71 is screwed into the connecting piece 37 of the handle tube 36 and a screw head 73 is supported on a support member 66 arranged in the connecting piece 74 from.

Zur Ausbildung der Anschlusseinrichtung 68 ist an dem im vorliegenden Fall als Rohr ausgebildeten Stützholm 66 ein abgewinkeltes Anschlussende 75 ausgebildet, das unter Ausbildung eines spitzen Anschlußwinkels α zwischen dem Griffrohr 36 und dem Anschlusscnde 75 in ein freies Griffrohrende 76 einmündet. Dabei ist zwischen dem freien Griffrohrende 76 bzw. benachbart dem freien Griffrohrende 76 eine Eingriffsverbindung 77 ausgebildet, derart, dass das Anschlussende 75 durch eine Eintrittsöffnung 78 in das Griffrohr 36 eingeführt ist und sich ein axiales Stützende 79 des Stützholms 66 an einem durch eine Rohrinnenwand 80 gebildeten Stützanschlag 81 abstützt.To form the connection device 68, an angled connection end 75 is formed on the support spar 66 formed in the present case as a tube, which opens into a free handle tube end 76 between the handle tube 36 and the connection end 75, forming a pointed connection angle α. In this case, an engagement connection 77 is formed between the free handle tube end 76 and adjacent the free handle tube end 76, such that the connection end 75 is inserted through an inlet opening 78 in the handle tube 36 and an axial support end 79 of the support spar 66 at one through a tube inner wall 80th formed support stop 81 is supported.

Wie Fig. 2 ferner zeigt, ist ein Öffnungsrand 82 der Eintrittsöffnung 78 in einer durch einen Öffnungsquerschnitt 85 der Eintrittsöffnung definierten Öffnungsebene korrespondierend zum Umfang des Anschlussendes 75 ausgebildet, so dass das Anschlussende 75 im wesentlichen ohne Ausbildung eines wahrnehmbaren Spaltes zwischen dem Öffnungsrand 82 und dem Umfang des Anschlussendes 75 in das Griffrohr 36 eintritt.As Fig. 2 Furthermore, an opening edge 82 of the inlet opening 78 is formed in an opening plane defined by an opening cross section 85 of the inlet opening corresponding to the circumference of the terminal end 75, so that the terminal end 75 substantially without Forming a detectable gap between the opening edge 82 and the periphery of the connecting end 75 in the handle tube 36 occurs.

Bei der in Fig. 2 dargestellten Ausführungsform des Stützholms 66 weist dieser einen im wesentlichen parallel zum Griffrohr 36 verlaufenden Horizontalteil 83 auf, der an das Anschlussende 75 im Bereich der Anschlusseinrichtung 68 zum Griffrohr 36 hin abgewinkelt ist. Der dabei bevorzugt ausgewählte Schrägungswinkel α beträgt im vorliegenden Fall etwa 45°, so dass sich das Anschlussende 75 in Richtung der durch Belastung des Griffrohrs 36 mit einer senkrechten Stützlast L induzierten Schubkräfte erstreckt. Im weiteren Verlauf des Stützholms 66 werden die aus dem Griffrohr 36 in das Anschlussende 75 übertragenen Stütz- oder Schubkräfte über den Horizontalteil 83 in den Verbindungsstab 69 und schließlich über das Anschlussstück 37 bzw. Anschlussende 35 des Griffrohrs 36 in die Montageplatte 21 abgeleitet.At the in Fig. 2 illustrated embodiment of the support beam 66, this has a substantially parallel to the handle tube 36 extending horizontal portion 83 which is angled to the terminal end 75 in the region of the connecting device 68 to the handle tube 36 out. The preferred angle of inclination α selected here is approximately 45 ° in the present case, so that the connecting end 75 extends in the direction of the thrust loads induced by loading of the handle tube 36 with a vertical vertical load L. In the further course of the support spar 66, the support or shear forces transferred from the grip tube 36 into the connection end 75 are diverted via the horizontal part 83 into the connection rod 69 and finally via the connection piece 37 or connection end 35 of the handle tube 36 into the mounting plate 21.

Zwar liegt im vorliegenden Fall der Stützholm 66 mit einem Holmfortsatz 84 gegen die Montageplatte 21 an, wobei jedoch lediglich Belastungsspitzen über den Holmfortsatz 84 in die Montageplatte 21 abgeleitet werden und somit in der Regel bei einer Benutzung der Stützgriff-Anordnung und der damit einhergehenden Belastung des Griffrohrs 36 durch eine Stützlast L im wesentlichen keine oder nur geringe Kräfte vom Holmfortsatz 84 in die Montageplatte 21 übertragen werden.Although in the present case, the support spar 66 with a Holmfortsatz 84 against the mounting plate 21, but only load peaks are derived through the spar extension 84 in the mounting plate 21 and thus usually when using the support handle assembly and the associated burden of Handle tube 36 are transmitted by a vertical load L substantially no or only small forces from the spar extension 84 in the mounting plate 21.
