Definitions

  • the invention relates to a locking mechanism for an inner tube and an outer tube having telescopic handle, in particular for a telescopic handle for household or garden tools, with an outer part, an inner part and at least one clamping part, wherein the outer part and the inner part relative to each other in the axial direction in a clamping direction K and in one of the clamping direction K opposite release direction L are displaceable, being pressed by a displacement in the clamping direction K, the clamping member against the telescopic handle to determine the inner tube and the outer tube against each other via a clamping force, and wherein by a shift in the release direction L, the clamping is solved to produce a displacement and / or rotation of the inner tube and the outer tube to each other.
  • Such a locking mechanism or a telescopic handle with such a locking mechanism are from the EP 2 255 712 A1 known.
  • a displaceable relative to an inner sleeve in the axial direction outer sleeve is displaced in a clamping direction relative to the inner sleeve, whereby an arranged on the inner sleeve pair of jaws is made against the telescopic handle to set the two tubes of the telescopic handle against each other.
  • the material of the jaw pair can not be a material such as soft plastic, which has a particularly high coefficient of friction, since such a material would further hinder the movement of the inner tube on the jaw pair past or even sticking of the jaw pair on the inner tube possible would be, for example, after prolonged disuse of the telescopic handle.
  • An initially mentioned telescopic handle also discloses the publication DE 36 25 287 A1 ,
  • the displacement of the outer tube and inner tube is prevented by the fact that provided on the inner part against the inner tube tongue are provided with inwardly directed projections which cooperate with depressions in the inner tube, so that in a displacement of outer part to inner part in the release direction no free Slidability of inner and outer tube is made.
  • the object of the invention is therefore to provide a locking mechanism of the type described above, on the one hand allows an improved clamping action, but at the same time also ensures the complete release of the clamping to ensure the unhindered movement of the telescopic handle tubes against each other.
  • spreading members are provided which act against the at least one clamping member to move away the clamping part of the telescopic handle, when the outer part and the inner part are moved relative to each other loosening direction L.
  • the inner tube can rotate freely and unaffected by the clamping part relative to the clamping part.
  • the spreading members active ie by exerting an expanding force on the clamping part, move away from the telescopic handle
  • a material is used on the inside of the clamping member, a material ensures that ensures a very high coefficient of friction.
  • a soft plastic can be provided on the inside of the clamping part, while on the outside of the clamping part, over which, as will be explained below, the sliding part of the locking mechanism slides away, a harder plastic with a low friction value can be used.
  • the clamping member pivotable torque-free,
  • the locking mechanism in particular on the inner part or on the outer part, is articulated.
  • the spreading members are preferably part of the outer part, that is arranged directly or indirectly on this.
  • the expansion members themselves form part of the outer part, in particular material integral with this are formed with.
  • Indirect means that the expansion members are arranged on an additional, connected to the outer part, but originally separate from this attachment.
  • the spreading members of a arranged on the outer part Sp Drring are formed, which is preferably mounted on the outer part via a locking connection frontally.
  • the spreading members may be arranged so that they move in the axial direction of the clamping part, when the inner part and outer part are moved in the release direction relative to each other.
  • the spreading members can either push under the clamping part and this by an inclined plane radially outwards, ie away from the surface of the telescopic handle. Or they can penetrate into one or more axially extending gaps and thus spread apart the clamping part or - in the case of a plurality of mutually adjacent clamping parts - the individual clamping parts move away from one another by widening the gap, around the surface of the clamping parts facing the telescopic handle surface of the telescopic handle to remove in the radial direction.
  • the inner part is firmly and immovably connected to the telescopic handle and the outer part can move largely free of play on the inner part.
  • the outer part may be formed as a tubular outer sleeve and the inner part as an integral with the telescopic handle inner sleeve, wherein the inner diameter of the outer sleeve is adapted to the outer diameter of the inner sleeve, that the outer sleeve can be easily, but largely free of play over the inner sleeve.
  • a locking mechanism mounted on the actuating member is provided, via the actuation of the inner part and the outer part can be moved relative to each other.
  • the actuator may be pivotable about a pivot axis fixedly defined in its spatial position either to the inner part or to the outer part.
  • a pivot axis mounted cam which acts upon pivoting of the actuator to the other part to move this, then outer part and inner part are then relative to each other in the axial direction of the telescopic handle emotional.
  • the pivot axis is aligned v orthogonal to the axially extending central axis of the telescopic handle.
  • a pivot lever is provided.
  • a telescopic handle 1 is shown in an overall view.
  • the telescopic handle 1 is constructed in several parts and, in addition to an upper outer tube 2, a lower inner tube 3, which can slide into the outer tube 3 in order to vary the length of the telescopic handle 1.
  • a holder 4 is provided for a work attachment, not shown.
  • Such a work attachment may in particular be formed by a mop head, a dust catcher, a broom, a window wiper or similar work attachments that can be used in the household or in the garden.
  • Outer tube 2 and inner tube 3 can optionally be braced against each other to prevent relative mobility relative to the other part, or be solved from each other to establish the relative mobility (displacement and / or rotation).
  • a locking device 5 is provided for this purpose.
  • the in FIG. 1 shown telescopic handle 1 also has an optional feature an internal drive unit 6, which ensures that after loosening the locking device and when sliding in the inner tube 3 in the outer tube 2, the inner tube 3 is rotated relative to the outer tube 2 in rotation, which, for example, the ejection of a can serve on the holder 4 mounted wiping head of a wiper device.
  • an internal drive unit 6 which ensures that after loosening the locking device and when sliding in the inner tube 3 in the outer tube 2, the inner tube 3 is rotated relative to the outer tube 2 in rotation, which, for example, the ejection of a can serve on the holder 4 mounted wiping head of a wiper device.
  • the locking mechanism according to the invention can also be used with telescopic handles without such a drive unit.
  • the telescopic handle 1 is always described by way of example in connection with an upper outer tube 2 and a lower inner tube 3, it should be noted that, of course, the outer tube below and the inner tube can be arranged above. Any components of a drive unit 6 or the locking device 5 and the position of the components would be adapted in this case to the other structure.
  • FIG. 2a and 2b show the locking device in a more detailed external view, wherein in FIG. 2a the locking device 5 is shown in the clamping position, in the inner tube 3 and outer tube 2 are not mutually displaceable, and in FIG. 2b the locking device 5 is shown in the release position, in which the clamping mechanism is released and inner tube 3 and outer tube 2 are mutually displaceable.
  • an actuating member in the form of a pivot lever 7 is provided.
  • the pivot lever 7 is defined via a pivot axis S against an inner part 8 pivotally defined.
  • To form the defined pivot axis S of the rocker lever 7 engages with two bearing pin 9 in the inner part 8 (see also FIG. 4b ).
  • an outwardly directed sliding cam 10 is provided on the pivot lever 7, which is arranged eccentrically to the pivot axis S and by engaging in a in an outer part 11 of the locking device 5 provided recess 12 is in operative connection with the outer part 11.
  • the spreader ring 13 is on a front end of the outer part (for illustrative purposes in FIG. 3 not shown) mounted and connected to this in such a way that at the expansion ring 3 located spreading members 14, which are formed here by way of example of axially oriented expanding wedges, move with a displacement of the outer part 11 relative to the inner part 8 with the outer part.
  • the expansion members 14 move in the release direction L to a clamping member 15, which here exemplified by two jaws 15 'and 15 "formed is hinged to the inner part 8 articulated.
  • the spreading members 14 urge into a gap 16 located between the two clamping jaws 15 ', 15 "and actively force apart the two clamping jaws 15', 15", so that the clamping jaw surfaces still pressing in the clamping position against the telescopic handle surface of the inner tube 3 from the inner tube surface lift and subsequently a displacement and / or rotation of the inner tube relative to the locking mechanism, in particular with respect to the jaws 15 ', 15 ", guaranteed without the risk that the surfaces rub against each other and thus the displacement and / or Rotation of the components would be difficult to each other.
  • the clamping member 15 is not articulated torque-free, in particular material ein Communityig of the inner part starting configured, the clamping jaws 15 ', 15 "would build a restoring moment in a spread due to the inner material elasticity that would not only complicate the operation of the pivot lever, but could also cause the jaws 15', 15" automatically on the telescopic handle surface back and d
  • the spreading members 14 would push back from the spreading position.
  • Figure 4a and Figure 4b illustrate in particular the clamping function.
