Description

Articulated support.

Object of the invention

The present invention relates to a support articulated, of the kind that establish a connection in which there are two rotating movements in different planes, forming the which is a rotary connection between two parts, especially applicable to support devices such as charging terminals, although it may be equally applicable to other types of dispositives.

The object of the invention is to facilitate and achieve greater ease in the constitution of the device, as well as reduce the number of pieces required for its effective and correct operation

Background of the invention

In the European Patent with publication number 2 304 512 describes a rotary connection in which they participate two fundamental parts, a constitutive of a unit solidarity with a plate that can be operated manually, whose unit forms a rotating joint means of that plate with respect of a second part formed by a cylindrical body in solidarity with a part of the first unit, all in a way that the unit in question is constituted by a part materialized in a cylinder in solidarity with the manual drive plate, and on whose cylinder is mounted a thru axle by two lateral cylinders, being that axis a screw that by its end threads in one of the cylinders discussed above, establishing a turn of those cylinders with the shaft relative to the intermediate cylinder in solidarity with the plate, so that through the two end cylinders or lateral, and that the set is in solidarity with the cylindrical body as a second part of the rotary connection, there may be a rotating movement by actuating the plate itself.

In addition, this rotary connection is complemented with a second cylindrical body mounted on the above referred to and axially, with power this second cylinder of turn with respect to the previous one, so that the turning movement The aforementioned movement is now added second cylindrical body, thus establishing the rotary connection intended, so that the second cylinder is susceptible to fix any body or object that is intended to move swinging in both directions, that is to say zenith and azimuthal, between limits pre-set

The rotary connection described in this Patent European, requires an expensive mechanization of all the parts that participate, in addition to having to use two cylindrical bodies to get one of the movements, which also establish a relative turning means between them, limited by an internal rod, all of which carries high costs in obtaining the Final product.

Description of the invention

The articulated support that has been recommended has been planned to solve the problem described above, thanks to a structural simplification as well as a structure much easier to obtain, providing support simpler articulation, with lower manufacturing costs as well as assembly.

To do this, and starting from a support plate, equipped with a control handle, and the corresponding stops upper for securing the payment terminal or item from which treats, the invention focuses its features on that said plate It is fixed inside and by screwing, a "U" plate inverted, complementary to a lower "U" plate, which they relate to each other through an axis of through rotation through of its extreme branches, with the contest of the corresponding washers, bottom plate at the base of which is set centrally a hole through which a screw is used as a function of second tilting axis, screw which, with its complement set of washers and nut relates said plate to a tube support, whose upper base is finished off in a circular plate equipped also in its center of a complementary hole of the above-mentioned.

Through this pair of orthogonal axes between if it is possible to provide for the support plate the movements of azimuthal and zenith gyrus, through an extremely structuring simple.

For its part, the support tube will be finished in a fixing plate of the support to the furniture in question.

Additionally, the angle of tilt with respect to the two axes of rotation may be limited, for which, it is planned that on the horizontal axis which relates the two pieces in "U", coaxially to it is set a canutillo, which extends tangentially into a tab, so that said tab in the maneuvers of tilt of the support plate comes into contact for the position tilt limit provided with the vertical screw in operation second axis of rotation of the device, preventing overcoming said angle.

For its part, the lower "U" plate, may have an appendix that in the turning maneuvers of the I came to play with a stop set on the circular plate, limiting the maximum angle of rotation for the support plate.

Through the proposed solution the device Rotary connection includes fewer parts than the required in the European Patent cited in the section on Background of the invention.

In addition, with the device of the invention the obtaining the different parts or elements that participate, it performed by laser cutting and simple folding, instead of machining complexes required in the cited European Patent previously.

In accordance with the above, the device of the invention is easier to constitute, easier to assemble, and with fewer parts, with what is definitely a product much cheaper than connecting devices currently existing rotary, such as the one described in the European Patent 2 304 512 referred to in the Background section of the invention.

Description of the drawings

To complement the description that then it will be done and in order to help a better understanding of the features of the invention, according to a preferred example of practical realization thereof, is accompanied as an integral part of that description, a set of drawings in where illustrative and not limiting, it has been represented the next:

Preferred Embodiment of the Invention

As you can see in the referred figures, the device of the invention comprises a support tube (1), intended to be fixed to the furniture in question through a plate bottom (10) in which said tube is finished off, and a support plate (2), designed to be articulated along two tilting axes orthogonal, support plate (2) equipped with a handle (3) for handling, and of stops (4) for securing the device provided put up with.

Well, according to the essence of the invention, on the underside of the support plate (2) is fixed by screwing an inverted "U" plate (5), equipped with the corresponding holes faced in correspondence with its lateral branches, of width slightly smaller than a plate in Complementary "U" (7) complementary, said two being related swiveling plates through a horizontal axis (6), with the complementary set of nuts and washers.

The lower "U" plate (7) presents its middle branch or essentially circular base of rotation, dimensionally according to an upper plate (8) in which finish the support tube (1), which adopts an arrangement inclined, establishing a hole between the two plates which is a screw (9), acting as a vertical axis of turn, which is complemented by its corresponding nut and set of washers, having been provided to facilitate assembly rotating these two pieces, the support tube (1) incorporate in proximity to its upper end, a window (11) for access to a key that allows the screw (9) to be immobilized during tightening of its complementary nut.

The rotation of the support plate (2) with respect to the vertical axis is delimited through a projection (12) of the repeatedly commented "U" piece of lateral branches (7), projection that comes into contact with a turning limit stop (13) set on the top plate (8).

On the other hand, the rotation of said plate with with respect to the horizontal axis it is also limited by a canutillo (13) which is wound on said axis (6), and which is prolonged tangentially to it, defining a tab that tilts together, depending on the position of the support plate (2), of so that it stops on the screw (9), as you can see in figure 2, limiting its displacement in said sense.
