Description

l0 15 20 25 30 465 940 Fig. 2 är en vy ovanifrån av den i Fig. l visade klämman . l0 15 20 25 30 465 940 Fig. 2 is a top view of that shown in Fig. 1 the clamp.

På ritningen visas ett föredraget utföringsexempel av en klämma l enligt föreliggande uppfinning. Klämman 1, som företrädesvis är avsedd för fastsättning av en armatur vid exempelvis en bords- eller hyllkant, innefattar två medelst ett flexibelt förbindningsparti 2 sammanhållna skänklar 3 och 4. Skänklarna 3,4 bildar med sin ena, fria, främre ände ett gripparti 5 för fastnypning av klämman 1 vid hyll- kanten. Grippartiet 5 är genom förbindningspartiets 2 fjäderverkan öppningsbart genom ihoptryckning av skänk- larnas 3,4 andra fria, ett fingergrepp bildande, bakre ände 6.The drawing shows a preferred embodiment of a clamp 1 according to the present invention. Clamp 1, which is preferably intended for attaching a luminaire to for example a table or shelf edge, comprises two by means a flexible connecting portion 2 held together legs 3 and 4. The legs 3,4 form with their one, free, front end a gripping portion 5 for pinching the clamp 1 to the shelf the edges. The gripping portion 5 is through the connecting portion 2 spring action openable by compressing the pouring 3.4 second free, a finger grip forming, rear end 6.

I området från förbindningspartiets 2 infästning i skänk- larna 3,4 och till skänklarnas 3,4 bakre, fria ände 6, uppvisar den ena skänkeln 3 en tungformation 7, som skjuter ut i riktning mot den andra skänkeln 4. Tungformationen 7 är anordnad att samverka med och valbart fastlåsas vid ett ett på den andra skänkeln 4 befintligt spärrorgan 8 så att, efter fastsättning av klämman 1 om en hyllkant med grip- partiet 5, skänklarnas 3,4 bakre ände 6 ytterligare kan isärpressas och lägesfixeras i detta läge medelst tung- formationen 7 och spärrorganet 8, varvid en förhöjd kläm- effekt i klämmans l gripparti kan åstadkommas.In the area from the attachment of the connecting portion 2 to the donor 3.4 and to the rear, free end 6 of the legs 3.4, one leg 3 has a tongue formation 7 which projects out towards the other leg 4. The tongue formation 7 is arranged to cooperate with and optionally locked at one a locking member 8 present on the second leg 4 so that, after attaching the clamp 1 to a shelf edge with gripping the portion 5, the rear end 6 of the legs 3.4 further can is compressed and position-fixed in this position by means of formation 7 and the locking means 8, an elevated clamping effect in the gripping portion of the clamp 1 can be achieved.

Tungformationen 7 är försedd med ett antal tvärgående låständer 9, som är automatiskt fastlåsbara i, under skänklarnas 3,4 isärpressning vid klämmans 1 bakre parti 16, motsvarande utformade griptänder 10 hos spärrorganet 8.The tongue formation 7 is provided with a number of transverse locking teeth 9, which are automatically lockable in, under the 3.4 pressing of the legs at the rear part of the clamp 1 16, correspondingly shaped gripping teeth 10 of the locking member 8.

Då klämman 1 skall avlägsnas från hyllkanten och kläm- effekten frigöras i grippartiet 5 förskjuter man endast tungformationen 7 i det visade utföringsexemplet i riktning framåt mot grippartiet 5. 1; lO 465 940 I en alternativ utföringsform kan spärrorganet 8 utgöras av endast en öppning i den andra skänkeln 4, genom vilken tungformationen 9 utförd i en förlängd version är för- skjutbar och fastlåsbar i önskat läge medelst låständerna 9.When the clamp 1 is to be removed from the shelf edge and the clamp the effect is released in the gripping portion 5, one displaces only the tongue formation 7 in the embodiment shown in the direction forward towards the gripping portion 5. 1; lO 465 940 In an alternative embodiment, the locking means 8 can be constituted by only one opening in the second leg 4, through which the tongue formation 9 made in an extended version is slidable and lockable in the desired position by means of the locking teeth 9.

Den övre skänkeln 3 kan, såsom framgår av ritningen, vara försedd med en för en armatur avsedd fastsnäppnings- anordning ll. Vidare kan skänklarna 3,4 vara förstärkta medelst förstyvningslister 12,13. Den undre skänkeln 4 kan innefatta en ögla 14 för ett finger och den övre skänkeln 3 kan vara utformad med en tryckyta 15 för t.ex. tummen i en hand.The upper leg 3 can, as can be seen from the drawing, be provided with a snap-fit for a luminaire device ll. Furthermore, the legs 3,4 can be reinforced by means of stiffening strips 12,13. The lower leg 4 can comprise a loop 14 for a finger and the upper leg 3 can be designed with a pressure surface 15 for e.g. thumb in a hand.

Claims

10 15 20 25 30 465 940 4 Patent claims

Device at a clamp, preferably intended for fastening a luminaire to, for example, a table or shelf edge, by means of a flexibly held together (3,4), which with their one, free end (5) form a gripping hole. clamp (1) comprises two, connecting portion (2) legs portion for pinching it about the shelf edge and which against the spring action of the connecting portion (2) are distinguishable by (3,4) free, finger-forming end (6), characterized in that in about compression of the second tip of the legs from the attachment of the connecting portion (2) in the legs (3,4) and to the rear of the legs, a free end (6) forming a finger grip, one of the legs (3) has at least one, towards the other leg (4 projecting tongue formation (7), which is arranged to cooperate with and selectively locked to a locking member (8) located on the second leg (4) in order to enable a locking of the legs (3,4) (1) of a rear portion (16) in a compressed position and providing an increased clamping effect in the gripping portion (5) of the clamp after its attachment to the shelf edge. in the area of the clamp
