- WO 01/56746 A1 discloses a tensioning device with a tensioning rail that is guided so as to be displaceable in its longitudinal direction and an actuating device that includes a gripping element by which the tensioning rail can be displaced. A first contact element and a second contact element are held on the tensioning rail. The tensioning rail is displaceable with respect to the first contact element and the first contact element can be rotated relative to the actuating device.
- the object of the invention is to provide a clamp of the type mentioned at the outset, which has extensive operating options.
- this object is achieved according to the invention in that the actuating device can be rotated with respect to the tensioning rail and can be rotated with respect to the locking device, and that the locking device is non-rotatable with respect to the tensioning rail.
- the clamp according to the invention it is possible to bring the actuating device, via which an operator actuates the clamp, into a rotational position relative to the tensioning rail that is suitable for an application.
- the locking device With such a rotation, the locking device is not rotated due to the non-rotatable arrangement of the locking device.
- the ratchet remains in position with respect to rotation.
- the clamp can be optimally adapted to the respective application and the actuating device can be positioned by rotating it in such a way that an operator has optimal access.
- the actuating device can be positioned by an operator in such a way that it does not collide with otherwise disruptive elements of the application.
- the actuating device can be rotated relative to the fixed bracket and, in particular, can also be rotated relative to the counter bracket.
- the locking device is connected to the feed device in a non-displaceable manner and the tensioning rail is displaceable relative to the locking device.
- the tensioning rail can be slidably mounted on the combination of locking device and feed device.
- the feed device is rotatable relative to the locking device.
- the tensioning rail is slidably mounted on the locking device.
- the blocking function of the blocking device can be implemented in a simple manner.
- the locking device in the case of a clamping function, the locking device is positioned between the fixed bracket and the feed device; with a spreading function, the feed device is positioned between the locking device and the fixed bracket.
- the blocking device is positioned between the fixed bracket and the feed device during the clamping function, a structurally simple structure results.
- the locking device can be operated by the same holding hand that also operates the actuating device or holds the clamp on the actuating device. In particular, this allows one-handed operation.
- a spreading function can be implemented in a simple manner if the fixed bracket is arranged accordingly.
- the counter bracket sits on the locking device, in particular with at least one of the following: the counter bracket sits on the locking device in a non-displaceable manner; the counter bracket is non-rotatably attached to the locking device.
- a clamp with a structurally simple design can thereby be implemented.
- the number of required components can be kept low. This also allows the weight of the clamp to be kept low. Furthermore, it is possible to simple way in particular realize a one-handed usability.
- the counter bracket is aligned in particular with the fixed bracket and the only possibility of relative movement between the counter bracket and the fixed bracket is linear displaceability.
- a region of the feed device on which the actuating device is arranged is rotatably mounted on the tensioning rail. This allows the actuating device to rotate in a simple manner. Furthermore, it can be realized in a simple manner that the tensioning rail can be advanced via the advance device in any rotational position of the actuating device. This is achieved, for example, in that a feed element or a feed element pack is arranged on the feed device in a rotationally fixed manner with respect to the tensioning rail and the part of the feed device on which the actuating device is arranged can rotate relative to this feed element or feed element pack.
- a housing of the feed device is rotatably mounted on the tensioning rail.
- the actuating device is arranged on the housing. This results in extensive operating options for a user.
- the feed device is rotatably mounted on the blocking device, at least in part.
- a connecting device between the feed device and the locking device can be designed as a pivot bearing in order to connect the two to one another in a non-displaceable manner.
- an axis of rotation of the rotatability of the actuating device relative to the tensioning rail is parallel to the feed direction. This results in extensive operating options. It is possible for a rotary bearing for the rotation of the actuating device to be stepless in relation to the tensioning rail, or for it to have a plurality of discrete steps and, in particular, latching steps. In the case of a stepless design, any angle of rotation can be set.
- a spring loading for example, ensures a corresponding frictional connection in order to maintain a set rotational position. If a plurality of discrete steps and, in particular, latching steps are provided, then a set rotational position can be held in a simple way by means of a positive fit. In this way, a "twisting" of the actuating device from a set rotational position due to its own weight can be prevented.
- a housing of the feed device is mounted on the tensioning rail so that it can rotate about a first axis of rotation via a first pivot bearing; a housing of the feed device is rotatably mounted on the locking device via a second pivot bearing about a second axis of rotation; the first axis of rotation and the second axis of rotation are coaxial.
- a pivot bearing can be implemented in a structurally simple manner by means of the first pivot bearing and the second pivot bearing for the rotatability of the actuating device with respect to the tensioning rail.
- the pivot bearing can be designed over a large range of lengths with respect to the tensioning rail, so that a high level of stability and rigidity can be achieved.
- the tensioning rail is displaceably mounted both on the feed device and on the locking device. It can then be realized in a structurally simple manner that the actuating device can be rotated via the rotatability of the housing of the feed device relative to the tensioning rail.
- the first pivot bearing includes a first sleeve with a first opening, the tensioning rail being guided through the first opening and being mounted on the sleeve in a linearly displaceable and non-rotatable manner, and the first sleeve being seated on the housing.
- a rotary bearing can thus be implemented in a simple manner via the first sleeve, in which case the housing in particular forms an outer shaft.
- the first sleeve is then both a linear guide for the clamping rail and part of the pivot bearing for the rotatability of the housing.
- the first sleeve is assigned a counter-element, which acts on the first sleeve to form discrete rotational positions, with (i) the first sleeve having a locking ring, or (ii) the counter-element having a locking ring. With a corresponding training, discrete rotational positions can then be set and secured.
- the first sleeve is at least partially arranged in the housing. This results in a compact structure.
- An external shaft can be implemented in a simple manner via the housing.
- the second rotary bearing has a second sleeve with a second opening, the tensioning rail being guided through the second opening and being mounted on the second sleeve in a linearly displaceable and non-rotatable manner.
- Both a rotary bearing for the rotatability of the actuating device with respect to the tensioning rail and a displacement bearing for the tensioning rail can be implemented via the second sleeve.
- the second sleeve forms an inner shaft, for example, or the second sleeve cooperates with a counter-element of the housing, which is then an outer shaft.
- the second sleeve In order to form discrete rotary positions, provision can be made for the second sleeve to be assigned a counter-element, which acts on the second sleeve to form discrete rotary positions, with (i) the second sleeve having a locking collar, or (ii) the counter-element having a Has detent ring. It can in particular both on the first sleeve as well as on the second sleeve, a corresponding anti-rotation device can be provided for the realization of discrete rotary positions or only on the first sleeve or the second sleeve.
- the second sleeve (i) is arranged on the locking device and is immersed in a housing of the advancing device, or (ii) is arranged on a housing of the advancing device and is immersed in a recess of the locking device.
- the housing of the feed device forms an outer shaft.
- the second sleeve forms an inner shaft.
- the feed device has at least one feed element on which the actuating device acts, the at least one feed element being non-rotatable with respect to the tensioning rail.
- the conventional solution with a feed element can be used to feed the tensioning rail. It is then possible to rotate the actuating device in a simple manner, in particular by having a housing of the feed device, in which the at least one feed element is seated and on which the actuating device is arranged, about which at least one feed element can be rotated.
- the at least one feed element has an engagement surface for the actuating device which has the shape of a ring and in particular has the shape of a circular ring.
- the actuating device can act on the at least one feed element in order to bring about a feed of the tensioning rail.
- a clamping effect via the actuating device is independent of the rotational position of the actuating device relative to the tensioning rail.
- the contact surface for the actuating device surrounds the tensioning rail in the form of a ring.
- the actuating device can then act on the at least one feed element in any rotational position of the actuating device relative to the tensioning rail in order to cause the tensioning rail to be advanced.
- the at least one feed element has a continuous opening through which the tensioning rail is guided in a rotationally fixed manner.
- the at least one feed element is positioned in a housing of the feed device. This results in a protected arrangement.
- a feed element package is provided with a plurality of feed elements, with adjacent feed elements in particular touching one another. This allows a large clamping force or spreading force to be achieved.
- the actuating device comprises an actuating lever that can be pivoted about a pivot axis, in particular with at least one of the following: the pivot axis is oriented transversely and in particular perpendicularly to the feed direction; the pivot axis is oriented transversely and in particular perpendicularly to an axis of rotation of the rotary mobility of the feed device with respect to the tensioning rail.
- the pivot axis is oriented transversely and in particular perpendicularly to the feed direction; the pivot axis is oriented transversely and in particular perpendicularly to an axis of rotation of the rotary mobility of the feed device with respect to the tensioning rail.
- the actuating device has a fixed holding element at a distance from the actuating lever.
- the fixed holding element is a gripping element for an operator's hand. An operator can hold the clamp on it. Furthermore, his holding hand can be supported on the holding element in order to pivot the actuating lever.
- the feed device comprises at least one feed element, which is acted upon by the actuating lever, wherein, starting from an initial position of the at least one feed element, when the actuating lever is engaged, the at least one feed element inclines towards the tensioning rail, with the at least one feed element tilting on the tensioning rail and the clamping rail is carried along with linear displacement in the feed direction.
- a linear feed of the tensioning rail can thus be achieved in a simple manner by pivoting the actuating lever and a corresponding tensioning force or spreading force can be exerted.
- an eccentric arrangement is provided in order to convert a corresponding pivoting movement into a linear movement.
- a spring device which is supported on the at least one feed element, with a spring force of the spring device striving to bring the at least one feed element into its initial position relative to the tensioning rail or to hold it. It is thus possible in a simple manner to bring about a feed by actuating the actuating lever (against the action of the spring force of the spring device). If an operator lets go of the actuating lever, then the at least one feed element returns to its initial position and the actuating lever also returns to its initial position return. A further feed can then be carried out.
- the spring device which is supported on the at least one feed element, can also be used to hold a rotational position of the actuating device with respect to the tensioning rail in a non-positive manner.
- the spring device is supported on a part of the feed device that is rotatable. (In particular, the at least one feed element cannot be rotated relative to the tensioning rail.)
- the locking device has a release element and in particular a release lever for canceling a blockage.
- An operator can then use the release element to release the blocking and can then, to a certain extent, freely move the tensioning rail to the blocking device and the advancing device.
- the blocking device has at least one blocking element and in particular has a blocking element package, the at least one blocking element having a continuous opening through which the tensioning rail is guided, and wherein in a blocking position of the at least one blocking element the at least one Blocking element is tilted with the tensioning rail.
- the blocking device makes it easy to block the tensioning rail from being able to slide against the feed direction. In this way, a clamping effect or spreading effect can be achieved between the fixed bracket and counter bracket in a simple manner. Clamping or spreading can be achieved to a certain extent via a pumping process.
- the tensioning rail is "pumped" by the feed device to move it in the feed direction, with displacement in the opposite direction being prevented by the locking device.
- a spring device which is supported on the at least one blocking element, with a spring force of the spring device endeavoring to bring the at least one blocking element into its blocking position or to hold it.
- the position of the at least one blocking element without operator intervention is therefore the blocking position. It becomes through this prevents displacement in the opposite direction to the feed direction.
- This blocking position can only be canceled by operator intervention by overcoming the spring force of the spring device, in order in particular to allow the tensioning rail to move freely.
- a release element which acts on the at least one locking element and via which an angular position of the at least one locking element relative to the tensioning rail can be adjusted. In this way, the blocking position can be canceled in a simple manner by setting the required angular position accordingly.
- the fixed bracket is removably seated on the tensioning rail; a tensioning function is provided, in which the feed direction is a direction in which the fixed bracket moves toward the counter bracket; a spreading function is provided, in which the feed direction is a direction in which the fixed bracket moves away from the counter bracket; the tensioning rail has a plurality of fixing positions for the fixed bracket and, in particular, the fixing positions are in the region of opposite ends of the tensioning rail.
- a spreading function can be implemented by repositioning the fixed bracket on the clamping rail.
- the clamp is designed as a one-handed clamp which can be held on the actuating device with one hand of an operator and in which the clamping rail can be advanced in the direction of advance via the actuating device with the holding hand. This frees an operator's other hand to hold one or more workpieces or the like. With the holding hand, the actuating device can also be rotated into the desired position in accordance with the tensioning rail.
- a release element of the locking device is arranged and designed in such a way that it can be operated by the hand of an operator who is holding the clamp on the actuating device, at least in an untwisted position. This results in simplified possible uses.

- An upper part 102 and a lower part 104 can be assigned to the interior space 62 of the housing 48 (compare FIG. 17). The lower part 104 and the upper part 102 are separated by the tensioning rail 16 which runs through the housing 48 .
- the actuator 54 is disposed on the housing 48 adjacent the lower portion 104 .
- the nose 88 of the actuating lever 68 is positioned in the lower part 104 and acts there on the feed element package 84.
- the feed element package 84 in the starting position 92 relative to a surface of the feed element 82 has an angular position 106 to the longitudinal axis 22, which is approximately 90°.
- the corresponding angle 106 is somewhat smaller than 90°, with the feed element pack being inclined away from the counter bracket 14 in the initial position 92 .
- the corresponding openings of the feed elements of the feed element package 84 are arranged and designed such that even with this inclination (if the locking device 20 is not taken into account) there is still free mobility of the tensioning rail 16 on the feed device 18 .
- An eccentric is formed by the actuating lever 68 with the nose 88, the feed element package 84 and the contact area 80.
- the pivot bearing 70 is in particular arranged and designed in such a way that the pivot axis 72 penetrates the tensioning rail 16 (compare FIG. 18).
- the pivot axis 72 is thus located between the upper part 102 and the lower part 104 and the lug 88 engages on the feed element package 84 offset to the pivot axis 72 .
- the feed element package 84 has a working surface 108 for the nose 88 on the first feed element 82 (compare FIG. 19).
- This contact surface 108 is ring-shaped and in particular surrounds the tensioning rail 16 in a ring-shaped manner.
- this makes it possible to implement a rotatable feed device 18 in which the actuating device 54 can be rotated with the actuating lever 68 relative to the tensioning rail 16, with the feed element package 84 not being rotated as well, and in any rotational position of the actuating device 54 to the clamping rail 16, the nose 88 can still act on the feed element package 84.
- the contact surface 108 is designed as a circular ring.
- the locking device 20 also includes a housing 110 on which the tensioning rail 16 is arranged to be displaceable. This housing 110 forms the holding area 40. The clamping rail 16 is guided through the housing 110. FIG.
- a second sleeve 112 (compare, for example, FIG. 17) is seated on the housing 110 and has an opening through which the tensioning rail 16 is guided.
- the second sleeve 112 is part of the sliding bearing device 52.
- the second sleeve 112 protrudes beyond a side 114 of the housing 110 , the side 114 facing the housing 48 of the feed device 18 .
- the second sleeve 112 is immersed in a corresponding receptacle 116 of the housing 48 of the feed device 18 .
- the housing 110 is non-rotatable relative to the tensioning rail 16 and non-displaceable relative to the feed device 18.
- the feed device 18 with the housing 48 and the actuating device 54 can be rotated via a pivot bearing 118 in relation to the tensioning rail 16 and in the process can be rotated in relation to the counter bracket 14 and the fixed bracket 12.
- An axis of rotation 120 of the pivot bearing 118 is parallel to the longitudinal axis 22 and thus also parallel to the displacement direction 46.
- the pivot axis 72 of the pivot bearing 70 of the actuating lever 68 is transverse and in particular perpendicular to the axis of rotation 120.
- the pivot bearing includes a first pivot bearing 122 with a first axis of rotation, which is formed by means of the first sleeve 76 .
- the first sleeve 76 is seated on a receptacle 126 of the housing 48, the housing 48 forming an outer shaft with the receptacle 126, so to speak.
- the first sleeve 76 is fixed for rotation with the tensioner bar 16 (with the tensioner bar 16 being slidably mounted on the first sleeve 76) and the housing 48 is on of the receptacle 126 is mounted on the first sleeve 76 so as to be rotatable about the axis of rotation 120 .
- a second pivot bearing 124 of the pivot bearing 118 is formed by means of the receptacle 116 and has a second axis of rotation. The first axis of rotation and the second axis of rotation coincide and form the axis of rotation 120.
- the housing 48 with the receptacle 116 also forms a type of outer shaft.
- the feed element package 84 is positioned in the interior space 62 of the housing 48 between the first sleeve 76 and the second sleeve 112 .
- the housing 48 of the advancing device 18 is rotatably connected to the locking device 20 by the second rotary bearing 124 .
- the feed device 18 and the locking device 20 form a unit in relation to which the tensioning rail 16 can be displaced in the displacement direction 46 .
- the second pivot bearing 124 is designed such that there is a non-displacement connection between the feed device 18 and the locking device 20 via the combination of the receptacle 116 and the second sleeve 112 .
- annular formation is formed on the second sleeve 112, into which a bead dips, which is formed on the housing 48 and in particular the cover 60 in order to achieve a non-displacement connection.
- the second sleeve 112 is formed on the housing 110 of the locking device 20 .
- a corresponding sleeve it is also possible for a corresponding sleeve to be arranged or formed on the housing 48 of the advancing device 18 , which sleeve is then inserted into a corresponding receptacle in the housing 110 .
- an inner shaft for the rotatability of the housing 48 is formed by means of the second sleeve.
- the feed device 18 is designed in such a way that the actuating device 54 can rotate relative to the fixed bracket 12 and the counter bracket 14 .
- the feed element package 84 is non-rotatable with respect to the tensioning rail 16.
- the lug 88 of the actuating lever 68 rotates about the axis of rotation 120 and, depending on the rotational position, acts on the contact surface 108 at different points. This is made possible due to the ring-shaped design of the working surface 108 .
- feed of the tensioning rail 16 in the feed direction 90 can be activated by an operator via the actuating lever 68 in any rotational position of the actuating device 54 about the axis of rotation 120 .
- At least one locking element 128 and in particular a locking element package 130 is arranged in the housing 110 of the locking device 20 .
- the blocking element package comprises two blocking elements 128 which lie on top of one another and touch one another in the process.
- a blocking element 128 has a continuous opening through which the tensioning rail 16 is inserted.
- the locking element 128 is non-rotatable with the tensioning rail 16.
- the blocking element pack 130 is supported by a spring device 132 (compare FIG. 19).
- the spring device is supported on a wall 134 and on the blocking element pack 130 .
- the wall 134 faces the housing 48 .
- the blocking element package 130 has a blocking position 136 (see, for example, Figure 19), in which the blocking element package 130 relative to the Clamping rail 16 is tilted. A force of the spring device 132 presses the blocking element pallet 130 into the blocking position.
- the blocking element package 130 has an inclination at an angle 140 to a perpendicular to the longitudinal axis 22 of the tensioning rail 16 (see Figure 19), this inclination being opposite to the inclination of the feed element package 84 when this is connected to the Tensioning rail 16 is tilted in order to obtain a blockage for displaceability in the opposite direction 138 to the feed direction.
- a release lever 142 is connected to the locking element package 130 .
- An operator can grip the release lever 142 and pivot it in a direction 144 which is in the direction of the second end 30 of the clamping rail 16 . In doing so, he must overcome the spring force of the spring device 132 .
- the blocking element package 130 is supported accordingly on an inner region of the housing 110 in order to enable this pivoting.
- the angle of the blocking element package 130 to the longitudinal axis 22 of the tensioning rail is changed. It is scaled down, i.e. the orientation is closer to an orthogonal orientation. This allows the tensioning rail 16 to be moved in the openings of the blocking element package 130, in order to enable a displacement.
- the release lever 142 protrudes beyond the housing 110 on one side.
- the clamp 10 has an initial position ( Figure 1), in which the release lever 142 is on the same side as the actuating device 54.
- the release lever 142 is then arranged and designed such that when an operator presses the clamp 10 on the actuating device 54 holds, he can access the release lever 142 via one or more fingers of the holding hand.
- pivot bearing 118 it is possible for the pivot bearing 118 to be designed in such a way that it can rotate continuously about the axis of rotation 120 .
- a set rotary position is held in particular in a non-positive manner due to the spring force of the spring device 132 .
- the second sleeve 112 is provided with a locking collar 146 (compare FIG. 14); this has a plurality of elevations 148 which are spaced apart from one another.
- a counter-element 150 (FIG. 14) for the locking collar 146 is provided on the housing 48 .
- the counter element 150 is provided for immersion in a region (in a "valley") between adjacent elevations 148 .
- a specific rotational position of the housing 48 relative to the second sleeve 112 is then secured by positive locking.
- counter member 150 is slidably mounted on housing 48 and is spring supported.
- a spring force presses the counter-element 150 against the locking collar 146 and in a secured rotational position into the area between adjacent elevations 148.
- the counter-element 150 must be displaced against the spring force, i.e. the spring force must be overcome accordingly. This is done by an operator who has to exert a corresponding amount of force during the rotation.
- the clamp 10 according to the invention works as follows:
- the fixed bracket 12 , the counter bracket 14 and the locking device 20 are arranged in a rotationally fixed manner with respect to the tensioning rail 16 .
- the housing 48 of the feed device 18 and the actuating device 54 can be rotated about the axis of rotation 120 via the pivot bearing 118 in relation to the clamping rail 16 and thus also to the fixed bracket 12, to the counter bracket 14 and to the locking device 20.
- an operator can bring the actuating device 54 into the advantageous or desired rotational position relative to the fixed bracket 12 or counter bracket 14, depending on the application. With this rotatability, the alignment of the brackets 12, 14 with one another remains the same. The locking device 20 does not rotate.
- an operator can cause a feed via the feed device 18 of the clamping rail 16 in order to move the fixed bracket 12 towards the counter bracket 14 in the clamping function or to clamp one or more workpieces between the fixed bracket 12 and the counter bracket 14.
- the locking element package 130 is in the locked position 136 due to the force of the Spring device 132. This means that displaceability of the tensioning rail 16 in the opposite direction 138 to the feed direction 90 is blocked.
- the locking device 20 and the feed device 18 are decoupled from one another in the sense that even when the locking element package 130 is in the locked position 136, the actuating device 54 can rotate about the axis of rotation 120 and feed actuation of the feed device 18 is made possible.
- the feed direction 90 is such that the fixed bracket 12 can be moved towards the counter bracket 14 and one or more workpieces can be clamped between the fixed bracket 12 and the counter bracket 14 .
- the abutment elements 38 and 44 face each other.
- the fixed bracket 12 it is possible to fix the fixed bracket 12 at the second fixing position 28 .
- the fixation takes place in particular in such a way that the contact elements 38 and 44 then face away from one another.
- a feed in the feed direction 90 of the tensioning rail 16 causes the fixed bracket 12 and the counter bracket 14 to move apart. This implements a spreading function.
- a spreading force can be applied to one or more workpieces.
- the locking device 20 is positioned on the clamping rail 16 between the fixed bracket 12 and the feed device 18. If the clamp 10 is converted in such a way that the spreading function can be implemented, then the advancing device 18 is positioned between the locking device 20 and the fixed bracket 12 .
