holder

The invention relates to a holder with a holding portion for holding an object, in particular an electric cable, and a bearing portion for storing on a furniture.

For example, such holders are clamped as a clamp holder for holding table cloths to a table top.

On a piece of furniture, e.g. a desk, electrical equipment, such as computers, phones or the like are turned off, to which lead electrical cables, such as lo power cables, network cables or the like. When the electrical device is removed, the cables are released and usually fall to the ground. Reconnecting the cables to the device is therefore cumbersome.

It is therefore an object of the present invention to develop an i5 holder of the type mentioned in such a way that an object, in particular an electrical cable, is easy to attach to the furniture with the help of the holder.

To solve the problem is provided in a clamp holder of the type mentioned that the holding portion has at least 20 a slot which is open at a free end of the holding portion, and that the holding portion of such

P 23572 / PCT

October 10, 2006 projecting from the bearing portion, that the holding portion in the position of use arranged furniture furniture protrudes from the furniture.

The holding portion is in the position of use, in which the holder is arranged with its bearing portion on the furniture 5, expediently vertically upwards. Even an oblique position is conceivable. In any case, the holding section in the position of use is preferably arranged on an upper side of the furniture and thus easily accessible.

The article, such as an electrical cable, may be inserted into the slot and then removed from the holder, e.g. Clamp holder is held. The holder may for example serve as a strain relief for an electrical cable and / or hold the respective cable when not in use of an electrical device. This makes it particularly easy to connect the electrical device to the cables when the device is put back into service, because the cables are already kept ready by the holder on site, that is to say for example on the top of a desk.

A preferred embodiment of the invention provides that the holding section is designed as a comb structure or as a type of finger structure, e.g. as a hand, is designed. There are slots between the fingers into which the article or articles are insertable. In this way, several cables can be held simultaneously by the holder in a separate slot each. The fingers of the hand are spread, for example. Essentially, the fingers can run side by side in alignment, which approximates the comb structure. But it is also possible that the fingers are not aligned. The fingers or the slots can be different in length and / or width and have different contours.

P 23572 / PCT. ,

October 10, 2006 It is preferred if the front ends of the fingers and / or a closed end of the at least one slot have a round contour. This, for example, reduces the risk of injury or damage to a counterweight to be held. The at least one slot is preferably wider at its open end than at its closed end. He has expediently a V-shape. It is understood that slot shapes are also conceivable, which are narrower at the open end than for example in a middle and / or lower lo section, so as to prevent slipping out of the object to be held.

Another, not shown in the drawing embodiment of the invention provides that the holding portion has elastic bristles. The slit or slits are formed by bending the bristles apart while holding the article.

In a preferred embodiment, the bearing portion is formed by a mounting portion or comprises at least one such Aufstellabschnitt, which has a footprint for

20 putting up on the furniture contains. Thus, the holder can be placed, for example, on a table top, on a shelf or the like, where with its holding portion, the objects to be fastened, e.g. holding electrical cables, labels or the like. If the holder is placed on a control surface of the furniture, ie the holder is in its position of use, the holding section protrudes upward in front of a surface of the furniture.

The erection section is advantageously wedge-shaped.

The holding section is e.g. arranged on a front or 0 top of the storage or the Aufstellabschnitts.

P 23572 / PCT. ,

October 10, 2006 Advantageously, a T-shaped arrangement can be made, in which the holding portion protrudes, for example, upwards in front of a base plate, which forms the Aufstellabschnitt.

The footprint is advantageous at least partially 5 slip-resistant and / or adhesive. It has, for example, a non-slip or adhesive surface, e.g. a coating on. Also a nub structure, a rubber coating or the like are conceivable.

So that the holder can be arranged reliably with its bearing section, in particular its positioning section on the furniture, several measures are possible individually or in combination:

For example, the bearing portion is configured to hold the holder with great weight on the furniture. For example, a cavity of the bearing section may be filled with sand or some other heavy material. A weight of weight, for example made of metal or stone, can also be advantageously arranged on the bearing section.

Another measure provides that the bearing section is provided with a suction part or forms a suction part, which serves to suck on the furniture. The suction part is, for example, a suction cup.

Furthermore, it is possible for the bearing section to include one or more magnets for magnetically holding the furniture.

In a preferred further embodiment, the holder is designed as a clamping holder. The invention then relates

P 23572 / PCT

October 10, 2006 a clamp holder for clamping to a piece of furniture, having a clamping portion which comprises a first and a second clamping part opposite thereto, which form a clamping receptacle and can be brought into a clamping position relative to one another, in which a component of the furniture is clamped between the clamping parts. The clamp holder has a holding portion having at least one slot for holding an object, in particular an electric cable, which is open at a free end of the holding portion. The holding section is detachable from the clamping section such that the holding section protrudes from the furniture in the clamping position clamped to the furniture.

The clamping parts are for example clamping legs of a spring clip, which are clamped to the furniture component, for example to a plate of a desk or the like.

The holding section can protrude in various positions from the clamping receptacle or from the bearing section. However, it is particularly preferred that the holding section is arranged at an angle, in particular approximately perpendicular to a plug-in direction on the clamping section, in which the clamping receptacle at

20 is attached to the furniture component is moved. For example, the first clamping part is approximately perpendicular to the holding portion. A base part, on which the first clamping part is arranged, and the holding section are preferably substantially parallel to each other. It is understood that a skew, 5 e.g. by about 70-85 degrees, of the holding portion with respect to the base part of this formulation.

The first clamping part and the holding portion, optionally also the base part, are advantageously in one piece. In the case of a one-piece construction of the clamping holder, the other components, in particular the second clamping part, are of course also integral with the abovementioned components.

P 23572 / PCT. ,

October 10, 2006 The holding section is expediently arranged at the front end of the first clamping part. For example, the first clamping part connects the base part to the holding section.

The clamping portion is e.g. designed in the manner of a screw 5 or advantageously as a spring clip, wherein the two clamping parts form legs of the clip. The spring clip may be in one piece or, in another embodiment of the invention, have a two-piece construction.

The clamping parts and / or the base part connecting them have expediently a plate-like shape. In this context, it should be mentioned that the clamping parts can be arranged without a base part directly, in particular in one piece, to each other.

The first clamping part, which is for example arranged on the upper side of the furniture, and a front section of the second clamping part are expediently substantially parallel to one another. A rear portion of the second clamp member which connects, for example, the front portion to the base member, desirably slants so that the front portion is closer to the first clamp member than the rear end of the rear portion. By this measure, it can be effected that the front end, the first clamping part, for example, lie substantially flat against the furniture part.

A two-part design of the clamping portion provides that the second clamping part can be fastened relative to the first clamping part in a first and at least a second or further distances on a base part of the clamping portion, the size or receiving side of the clamping receptacle to different 0 furniture Adapt components. The two clamping parts

P 23572 / PCT. ,

October 10, 2006 clamp in the respective clamping distance the furniture component each springy. This measure extends the range of application of the clamping holder.

The second clamping part may, for example, be spring-mounted on a guide part or may be integral with this guide part, which is adjustable along a guide on the base part. The guide part has, for example, a holding plate, which is supported on the base part. The guide part expediently braces in the clamping position on the guide. The retaining plate is advantageously supported on the base part. The second clamping part and / or the guide part are expediently latched to the base part in the first and the at least one second clamping distance. For example, one or more locking lugs are provided on the clamping part, which engage in latching recesses on the base part, for example a toothed rail. The reverse construction is possible that one or more locking lugs are provided on the base part.

The clamping section is expediently formed at least partially by wire. The wire is advantageous at least partially resilient. At least one of the clamping parts or, for example, the aforementioned base part is formed by a wire bracket. It can also be provided a single wire bracket, which forms the clamping portion as a whole. Thus, a one-piece wire bow spring clip is formed.

A two-part design of the holder or clamping holder provides that the clamping portion and the holding portion are releasably connectable to each other. For example, the holding portion is attached to the clamping portion, screwed or 0 fixed in any other way.

P 23572 / PCT

October 10, 2006 In principle, it is conceivable that several mounting options are provided in the bearing portion of a holder according to the invention, for example, a clamping portion and a set-up, a suction cups or other Saugtei- len versehener clamping portion or the like.

A preferred embodiment of the invention provides that the holder, e.g. the clamping holder, wholly or partly made of metal, in particular steel or stainless steel. For example, the holder is ausgestal- lo ted as a punched-bent part. It is also possible, for example by laser cutting, to cut out a sheet and then to bend it. Alternatively, the clamping holder may be at least partially made of synthetic material.

The holding section, in particular in the form of metal, i5 is expediently provided with a coating. It is particularly preferred that the coating substantially completely surrounds the holding section. For example, rubber, plastic material, in particular elastic plastic material can be used as the coating material. Also, a powder coating, a pebble coating, a Tauchgummie- tion, polyurethane or the like can be used. It is also conceivable to form the holding section completely from rubber or a plastic material, in particular an elastic plastic material.

A clamping portion 11 of a designed as a clamp holder 10 holder 9 can be clamped to a component 12 of a piece of furniture 13, for example, to a table top, a shelf of a shelf or the like. The clamping portion 11 forms a lo bearing portion 8 for supporting the holder 9 on the furniture 13. A first and a second clamping part 14, 15 of the clamping portion 11, which face each other, clamp the component 12 in a clamping position. The clamping parts 14, 15 are present plate-like and project in front of a base part 16, which likewise expediently has a plate-like shape. The clamping portion 11 forms a spring clip 17, whose legs are formed by the clamping parts 14, 15.

At the clamping portion 11, a holding portion 18 is fixed, which projects from the clamping portion 11. The holding section has slots 19-22 for holding an article, not shown in the figure, for example, an electric cable, a billet or the like. The slots 19-22 extend from a free, in the drawing upper end portion 23 of the holding portion 18 down in the direction of 5-direction of the clamping portion 11 and are at the top, that is at the free end 23, open. In the clamping position clamped to the furniture 13, the holding section 18 protrudes from the furniture and protrudes away from it.

The holding section 18 is essentially angular, for example approximately perpendicular to a plug-in direction 30 of FIG.

P 23572 / PCT. ,

October 10, 2006 ner terminal receiving 31, which is formed by the clamping members 14, 15 and the base member 16. For example, the holding section projects substantially vertically upwards in front of the component 12, eg a desk top. The holding section 18 is inclined for example at an angle of approximately 70 ° -90 °, in particular 80 °, obliquely to the insertion direction 30.

The holding section 18 is arranged at the front end 34 of the first, outer clamping part 14, expediently in the angle mentioned above.

The slots 19-22 are formed between fingers 24-28 of a finger structure 29. Front ends 35 of the fingers 24-28, and conveniently lower, closed ends 36 of the slots 19-22 are rounded. The slots 19-22 are wider at their open ends than at their closed ends to securely hold the object to be held.

The first clamping part 14 and a front portion 32 of the second clamping part 15 are substantially parallel to each other and are present plate-like. In the Klemmstel- 0 ment are the first and second clamping member 14, 15 and the front portion 32 of the second clamping member 15 is substantially flat against the furniture to be clamped component 12 at. A rear portion 33 of the second clamping member 15 extends obliquely between the front portion 32 and the base portion 5 16, so that the clamping receptacle 31 is narrower at its front, open end than at the rear in the region of the base part 16. For example, the first clamping member 14 and Base portion 16 substantially perpendicular to each other, whereas the rear portion 33 approximately at an angle of 45 ° (steeper or 0 flatter angles are possible) to the base part 16 extends.

P 23572 / PCT

October 10, 2006 The second clamping part 15 is resiliently connected to the base part 16.

The clamp holder 10 is in one piece. For example, it is stamped or cut out of a stainless steel sheet, e.g. 5 with a laser, and then bent into the angled shape.

The front portion 32 of the clamping part 15 is expediently narrower than the upper, first clamping part 14 and forms, for example, a kind of tongue, which projects substantially parallel to the first, upper clamping part 14 extending in front of the rearward portion 33. Also, the rear portion 33 is advantageously forward, towards the front portion 32 towards narrower than the rear, where it is resiliently hinged to the base part 16.

An illustrated in the figures 4a, 4b, 5-7 clamp holder 50 i5 as a further embodiment of a holder according to the invention substantially corresponds to the described clamp holder 10, so that the same reference numerals are used, as far as the components of the clamp holder 10, 50 coincide, at least in functional view.

In contrast to the clamping holder 10, a plate 56 of a holding portion 51 of the clamping holder 50 is provided with a coating 52, for example made of plastic, rubber or a powder coating. The coating 52 completely surrounds the fingers 24-28 as well as a base area 53 of the finger structure 29 corresponding to a hand inner and outer surface. Furthermore, the coating 52 extends to the front end 34 of the first clamping part 14, at least on its underside 55 of the first clamping part 14 facing the furniture 13.

P 23572 / PCT

October 10, 2006 A lower portion 54 of the coating 52 located on the underside 55 can serve as a sliding aid and prevent damage when the clamping holder 50 is attached to the furniture 13. The coating 52 could also extend further 5 in the direction of the base part 16, in particular on the underside 55 along. Furthermore, it is possible that, for example, a sliding coating is used on this underside 55, whereas the coating 52 is advantageously made of an adhesive material, so that the holding section 18 better holds loosened objects.

In this context, it should be mentioned that expediently outer edges of the clamping holder 10, 50 are rounded in order to prevent damage to the furniture 13 or a person handling the clamp holder 10, 50. Further, the surfaces of the clamp holders 10, 50 are advantageously plane and smooth, so that the clamp holders 10, 50 easily slide along the furniture 13 during clamping.

The coating 52 is expediently also rounded at the respective free ends and edges, which makes the clamping holder 50, for example, handle-friendly. The coating 52 may also be a colored coating that contributes to the pleasing appearance of the clamp holder 50.

A clamping holder 60 shown in FIG. 8 as a further exemplary embodiment of a holder according to the invention partially corresponds to the clamping holders 10, 50, so that the same reference numerals have been used for its components, as far as they are the same as or similar to the clamping holders 10, 50, 60.

The clamping holder 60 has a two-part design with a 0 holding section 61 which is detachably attached to a clamping section 62.

P 23572 / PCT. ,

October 10, 2006 is festigbar, which forms a bearing portion 62 a. The components 61, 62 could also be firmly connected to each other. The holding section 61 is, for example, attached to the clamping section 62 and has a finger structure 63 which, like FIG. 5, has the finger structure 29 of fingers 24-28 of a hand with splayed fingers. A plug portion 64 of the holding portion 61 is angled to the finger structure 63 and, for example, attached to the front end 34 of the first clamping member 14, glued to this or the like. The holding portion 61 lo is suitably made of plastic material, in particular of an at least partially flexible plastic material.

A holder 70a designed as a clamping holder 70 according to FIGS. 9a-12 has a holding section 71, which substantially corresponds to the holding section 61. The holding portion 71 is detachably or fixedly connected to a clamping portion 72 which has a resilient clip 74 formed of wire 73. The holding portion 71 is, for example, attached to front ends 75 of the wire clamp 74, glued or the like.

It would alternatively be possible in an optional construction variant that the holding section 71 is injection-molded, for example, on a transverse section 76 of the clip 74 connecting the ends 75.

It would also be possible (not shown in the drawing), 5 that the plastic material forming the holding portion 71 extends over upper portions 77 of the wire bracket 74, which form the first clamping member 14.

Portions 77 are followed by portions 78 of the bracket 74 which correspond to the base portion 16 and are substantially perpendicular to the portions 77.

P 23572 / PCT. ,

October 10, 2006 The second, lower clamping part 15 is formed by sections 78 adjoining the sections 78, which narrowly extend from the sections 78 the clamping receptacle 31 in the direction of the first clamping part 14 and merge into 5 front sections 80 corresponding to the front section 32 parallel to the clamping part 14 and the sections 77 are. The portions 80 are interconnected by a transverse portion 81 of the bracket 74.

The sections 77-81 are formed by a single wire 73 to lo a bracket 82 for clamping the clamp holder 70 to the furniture 13.

In a holder 100a according to FIGS. 13-15, which is formed by a clamping holder 100, components which are the same or similar to the previously described clamping holders 10, 50, 60 and 70 are given the same reference numerals for the sake of simplicity ,

A holding section 101 and partially a clamping section 102 are formed by a first component 103, expediently made of plastic material. The holding portion 101 has

20 on the known finger structure. In addition to the holding section 101, the component 103 also includes the first clamping part 114, which corresponds to the clamping part 14 and expediently rests flat on the furniture 13 when the clamping holder 100 is clamped to the furniture 13. A second clamping part 115, which corresponds to the clamping part 5 and suitably made of metal, in particular made of stainless steel, is releasably attachable to a base part 104 (comparable to the base part 16) for adapting the clamping receptacle 31 to different furniture components 12. The second clamping member 15 is resiliently connected to a guide member 0 106, which is guided by a guide 107 on the base member 104 is adjustable to clamping distances, e.g.

P 23572 / PCT. ,

October 10, 2006 105a, 105b, to be able to adjust. The second clamping part 15 and the guide part 106 are advantageously formed by a single sheet metal part.

From a holding plate 108 of the guide member 106 are 5 lately guide projections 109 from which engage in the example, grooves 113 comprehensive guides 107. The grooves 113 are arranged on opposite sides of the plate-like base part. The grooves are open at their opposite sides.

lo The retaining plate 108 is supported on the base part 104, in any case when the clamping parts 114, 115 are clamped to the furniture 13.

A latching lug 110 on the guide part 106, which is designed, for example, in the manner of a spring tongue projects in the direction of the base part 104 and engages in latching recesses 111 on the base part 104, which are formed, for example, by a toothed rail 112. In the clamping position of the clamping portion 107, the latching lug 110 or another latching projection of the guide part 106 or the second clamping

20 part 115 pressed into the corresponding recesses lll, so that the two clamping parts 114, 115 are held securely in the set clamping distance 105a or 105b.

The guides 107 may be closed at their lower end, so that, unlike shown in Figure 13b, the two-th 5 clamping member 115 remains captive on the clamp holder 100.

A holder 210 shown in FIG. 16 has a holding portion 251 which substantially corresponds to the holding portion 51 of the clamp holder 50. The holder 210 is provided with a bearing portion 214, for example, on the top of the component 12

P 23572 / PCT. ,

October 10, 200G the furniture 13 abstellbar or set up. The holder 10 may be positioned, for example, on a table top of a desk or the like, where then cables or the like can be inserted into the holding portion 251.

In the position of use, the holding section 251 protrudes upward in front of the component 13, in the exemplary embodiment slightly inclined, but substantially perpendicular.

The bearing portion 214 comprises a mounting portion 211 with a footprint 212 for placement on the furniture 13. lo The bearing portion 214 or Aufstellabschnitt 211 are located on a rear side of the holding portion 251, which is plate-like and has a finger structure 29.

The holder 210 is, for example, a casting made of plastic, metal or a composite material. Conveniently, the holder 210 has such a weight that it can be safely parked on the furniture component 12 with its weight.

In the cross-section illustrated in FIG. 17, it can be seen that the erecting section 211 has a substantially triangular shape, ie is wedge-shaped.

The footprint 212 is preferably provided with an anti-slip surface, which is not shown in Figures 16 and 18. For example, a slip-resistant coating 213 is provided on the footprint 212.

As a further measure, to securely arrange the holder 210 on the furniture 12, a magnet 215 may optionally be provided. The magnet 215 adheres to, for example, a metallic surface

P 23572 / PCT

October 10, 2006 on, for example, a metal body or metal coating of the furniture 13th

Instead of the magnet 215, a weight, for example made of metal or stone could also be provided. By way of example, a weight of weights 216 is shown.

But even without the presence of a magnet, a weight of the weight or a slip-resistant coating, a holder according to the invention can be safely placed, which is clear from the example of a holder 310. The holder lo 310 corresponds in part to the holder 210. Its bearing section 314 comprises an erecting section 311, which is partially hollow or defines a cavity. A top wall 315 and side walls 316, 317 project in front of a finger-like plate 318, which forms a holding portion 351 of the holder i5 310.

While the side walls 316, 317 protrude substantially perpendicularly anteriorly in front of the holding section plate 318, the upper wall 315 projects obliquely from the holding section plate 318 so that it slopes obliquely in the position of use.

20 th runs. The free sides, e.g. the lower narrow sides or end faces of the walls 315-317 and the lower side in use position, here a narrow side of the plate 318 form mounting surfaces 312 of the Aufstellabschnitts 311. The mounting surfaces 312 may be provided in principle with a 5 slip-resistant coating.

The interior space 319 can be filled with a weight of weight, for example with sand, and closed, for example, on its underside (not shown). The weight of the weight could also be a molding compound poured into the interior 319.

P 23572 / PCT. ,

October 10, 2006 The Aufstellabschnitte 311, 211 have a wedge shape and thus form wedge-shaped Aufstellabschnitte. The wedge-shaped mounting sections 311, 211 are arranged on the rear side of the holding sections 251, 351.

An erecting section 411 of a holder 410 is designed for sucking on a surface of the furniture 13. The holding section 451, which preferably corresponds substantially to the holding section 51, contains, for example, a suitably coated holding section plate 418. The storage section 414, which forms or comprises a suction part 411, is arranged on an underside of the plate 418.

The holding section 451 or the plate 418 project with a slightly oblique inclination upwards in front of the suction part 413. The suction part 411 has, for example, a truncated cone-like shape. A peripheral wall 415 of the suction part 413 delimits an interior space 419. The peripheral wall 415 has lateral, advantageously round sections 416, between which extend, preferably straight, longitudinal sections 415. The longitudinal sections 417 correspond to the longitudinal

20 direction of the underside of the holding section plate 418.
