Description

Device for carrying a screen device and the like and an input device

*

The invention relates to a device for carrying a display device and the like and an input device.

Such a device is e.g. B. known from dan German utility model No. 7931786. Here, a recording carrying the input device is arranged above the stand in front of the monitor. By means of this recording, the input device can be used by the user for use. When not in use, the input device can be brought into such a position by means of the receptacle that it is positioned close to the display device. The disadvantage is that the input device is disruptive in the room when not in use and thus the workspace is spatially restricted.

The object of the invention is therefore to create a device according to the preamble of claim 1, in which the input device can be brought into a position which is not disturbing in space when not in use. Optionally, it should be possible that the input device can be brought into an ergonomically favorable position when in use. Optionally, it should also be possible that the input device cannot collect dust when not in use.

This object is achieved according to the characterizing part of claim 1. Further advantageous embodiments of the invention emerge from the subclaims.

The fact that a receptacle for an input device is provided below the display device advantageously means that when the input device is not in use, it can be accommodated below the display device.

In a further advantageous embodiment of the invention, a drawer is provided as the receptacle. A locking stop is provided so that the drawer cannot be accidentally pulled out of the drawer guide with the input device.

»• _* / ___. Both slide and roller guides can be provided as guides for the drawer.

Unwanted dusting of the input device when not in use can be avoided by the drawer being enclosed on all sides by walls in the inserted position, for which purpose, for example, the front wall can be designed so that it does not interfere with the operation of the input device when it is pulled out the drawer is.

If it is only a matter of bringing the input device into a position that is not disturbing in the room when not in use, it is also sufficient to make the drawer wallless.

In a further development of the invention, it can be provided that the drawer is designed in such a way that it can be brought into an ergonomically optimal position in the pulled-out position, e.g. B. by tilting the footprint of the drawer.

It is even more advantageous if the drawer pulls out by means of a forced movement of the drawer into a predetermined ergonomically optimal position, e.g. B. by means of suitable rails, which tilts the footprint of the input device on the drawer accordingly.

A drawer that is pulled out can be supported against load by providing a support device in the front area of the drawer. By means of a height-adjustable support device, this can be adjusted over the work surface depending on the height of the carrying device.

In another embodiment of the invention, for the purpose of ergonomically optimal position of the input device, at least the part of the drawer plate that is to be taken in by the input device can be tilted. B. transverse to the direction of the drawer plate can have a swivel joint. The drawer plate can be adapted to individual requirements by means of a height adjustment facility.

... / 3 The sliding pegs or wheels arranged one behind the other in the rear edge region of the drawer mean that only very low frictional forces are required to move the drawer and that the pulled-out drawer is highly stable.

Different designs of the guide rails allow the drawer to be brought into an ergonomically optimal position with the input device. Thus, in one embodiment of the invention, it is provided that the front region of the guide rails is designed to run obliquely downwards. The end of the guide rails also serves as a stop against completely pulling out the drawer and is therefore fixed in its position.

Another embodiment is that the front region of the guide rails has an interruption downwards. As a result, the front region of the drawer can be supported on the standing surface in the case of a higher carrying device or by means of a supporting device which can be designed for different supporting heights.

At least one handle can be provided in the front area for easy handling of the drawer.

An additional advantageous embodiment, for. B. for written templates, has a shelf within the inside of the front wall. However, it can also be provided to provide the support device with a corresponding storage.

In particular, if the front wall is designed to be rotatable at a right angle to the standing surface, the shelf should be provided with a torsion spring so that the templates positioned in this shelf can assume a stable position, which means that the shelf provided with a torsion spring presses against the templates.

In another embodiment of the shelf, it can advantageously be designed to be tiltable. As a result, the template remains in a stable position due to its tilted position and is also better in the field of vision of the user of the carrying device due to the inclined position. The front wall of the drawer, which is enclosed on all sides, is equipped with a lock to prevent unauthorized use of the input device. ,. Furthermore, it can be provided to shape the front wall such that also the screen of the display device is covered, the latter being covered on the one hand dust-free and is secured against unauthorized use other hand Be ^¬.

In order to prevent the drawer from moving in the pulled-out position when the input device is operated, the drawer is designed to be lockable in any position.

It is within the scope of the invention to provide a further drawer for a further input device or e.g. B. for filing templates.

A cable lead-through with funnel-shaped openings can be provided for a lead-through, for example, of a spiral cable through, for example, the rear wall of the device for the purpose of connecting the input device to the monitor device, as a result of which the spiral cable cannot cant at the lead-through.

The invention is described below using exemplary embodiments. It shows:

Figure 1 a is a side view of the device in sectional representation as the first embodiment;

FIG. 1 to FIG. 8 four further exemplary embodiments in side view

(partly in sectional view), the drawer being in a non-use position in one view and being shown in a use position in another view;

Figure 9 shows an embodiment in use position in side view and sectional view;

FIG. 10 shows a detailed illustration according to section A'-A from FIG. 9;

FIG. 11 shows the carrying device in an exemplary embodiment in a front view with a front wall which is shown opened by 180 °;

Figures 12, 13 u. 14 shows a side view of the front wall according to FIG. 11, but in FIGS. 13 and 14 in a different embodiment of the shelf. FIG. 1 a shows a side view of a first exemplary embodiment, wherein the device 1 below the support plate 3, which supports the screen device 2, has a receptacle 5 'for an input device 6. In addition to the support plate 3, the device 1 has a rear wall 12, two side walls 11, 11 'and a base plate 7' and is provided with an opening on the screen for inserting or removing the input device 6.

An advantageous cable bushing 6 'for a spiral cable 6 *' as a connection between the input device 6 and the display device 2 is achieved through funnel-shaped openings, whereby the spiral cable β ¹ 'cannot wedge through the cable bushing 6' and unhindered getting in or out can take off during the movement process of the input device 6. With connection cables on the rear of the display device 2 and the input device 6, it is advantageous if the cable bushing 6 ^{1 is arranged} in the rear wall 12. Due to the angled cable duct 6 'and the spiral cable 6' being free from play, a slight passage movement is possible.

A second embodiment of the invention is shown in a side view in FIG. 1. The device 1 for carrying a screen device 2 essentially consists of a support plate 3 which is supported by a column 4 and that a drawer 5 is arranged below the support plate 3. This drawer 5 serves to carry an input device 6. The drawer is in the position according to FIG. 1 in a non-use position of the input device 6. The drawer 5 essentially consists of a drawer plate 7 and a drawer guide 8, which consists of guide rails 9 and slide or Roll¬ guides 10 exists.

... / 5

To enclose the drawer 5 on all sides, side walls 11, 11 'are provided, as well as a rear wall 12 and a front wall 13. The remaining walls are formed by the support plate 3 and the drawer plate 7. In the illustration according to FIGS. 1 and 2, the side wall 11' removed. The two side walls 11, 11 'and the rear wall 12 and the support plate 3 with the guide rails 9 connected to the support plate 3 are fixed in place.

In FIG. 2, the drawer 5 is in a pulled-out position, and the input device 6 is in a use position.

The inside 14 of the front wall 13 is provided with a shelf 15, for. B. for written templates. The front wall is connected to the drawer plate 7 by means of a rotary connection 16. The front wall 13 also has a stop 17 for a predetermined position of the shelf 15. For an individual angle of inclination of the front wall 13, the stop 17 could be adjustable, for. B. by means of a rotatably mounted locking rod, not shown.

To prevent the drawer 5 from being pulled out completely, the front end of the guide rails 9 has a stop 18. The drawer guide 8 must of course be arranged in such a way that the input device 6 can be pushed in and out unhindered, for which purpose the filling rail 9 in each case in the region of the side walls 11, 11 'run.

A third exemplary embodiment is shown in FIGS. 3 and 4. The carrying device 1 here has a drawer 5 which is free of walls 11, 11 ', 12, 13 on all sides. A certain protection against dust of the input device 6 can be seen in the fact that it is positioned below the support plate 3 in a non-use position. The front area of the guide rails 9 runs obliquely downward and thus confuses the inclined position of the input device 6 on the drawer plate 7. For convenient handling of the drawer 5, one of the drawer plate 7 has handles 19, 19 ′, for example by a device 20 which makes the front sliding pin or wheels 10 adjustable relative to the drawer plate 7, the angle of inclination of the drawer plate 7 or the input device 6 can be individually varied within certain limits. It could be provided that the height adjustability of the device 20 is increased by means of an adjusting screw

realize.

A fourth exemplary embodiment is shown in FIGS. 5 and 6. The guide rails 9 have an interruption 21 in the front region at the bottom. This makes it possible for the front slide guide 10 to be moved with the drawer 5 toward the standing surface 23. A support device 22 is provided as a counter-bearing, which enables an individual inclination of the drawer 5 or of the input device 6 by means of a locking wheel 24 depending on the angular position of the support device 22. A stop 18 'is provided at the end of the interrupted guide rails 9 to prevent the drawer 5 from being pulled out completely. A stop pin 25 is attached as a counter bearing in the area of the rear sliding wheel 10 '.

From this embodiment it can be seen that the front handle 19 could also take over the function of the support device 22 by appropriate design. If the support plate 3 of the monitor 2 is height-adjustable via the column 4, the adjustability of the support device 22 could be omitted for an individual inclination angle of the drawer 5, since on the one hand the angle of inclination could be adjusted by the height adjustment of the support plate 3. With a tiltable support plate 3, the screen 26 of the screen device 2 can also be adjusted with a favorable viewing angle.

A fifth exemplary embodiment is shown in FIGS. 7 and 8. Here, the carrying device 1 is constructed in a similar manner to the first exemplary embodiment according to FIGS. 1 and 2, but the device 1 with a base plate 27 stands directly on the stand area 23. The inside of the base plate 27 also serves with the The inside 14 of the opened front wall 13 also serves as a drawer guide or support for the drawer 5. A stop 18 ″ changes the unwanted complete pulling out of the drawer 5. To open the front wall 13, it is connected to the base plate 27 by means of a rotary connection 16 . The unused footprint of the drawer plate 7 can be used for other purposes, but bypassing the stop 18 ''. - -

FIG. 9 shows a further embodiment of the exemplary embodiment according to FIGS. 7 and 8. In this case, the part of the drawer plate 7 is designed to be tiltable, which is e_Lngenαrrnen from the input device 6, a swivel joint 28 being arranged for tilting the drawer plate 7. This measure allows a freely selectable angle of inclination of the drawer plate 7 to be set within wide limits. An arxetic device 29 is provided for fixing this inclination position. By means of this device 29, the drawer plate 7 can be locked in the desired position of the inclination angle of the input device 6 by means of a locking wheel 30. A guide pin 31 in a drawer guide 8 'serves as a counter bearing.

FIG. 10 shows an enlarged view of section A-A 'from FIG. 9. It can be seen more clearly that with the locking wheel 30 by means of a thread 32 on the pin 33 the drawer plate 7 is locked against the wall 11. The vertical part of the drawer opening 8 '' enables the inclination angle of the input device 6 to be freely selected within wide limits.

FIG. 11 shows the device 1 in a front view, the front wall 13 with the rotary connection 16 being opened by 180 with a view of the inside 14 of the front wall 13. A shelf 15 ′ is arranged on the inside 14 in the lower region. This shelf 15 'is of course arranged and designed such that it enables the carrying device 1 to be closed with the front wall 13 without hindrance. This tray 15 'can be used, for example, for holding a written template 34. The carrying device 1 can be secured against unauthorized use by means of a lock 35.

In a further development of the front wall 13, it can be provided that it is enlarged to such an extent that it also covers the screen 26, if appropriate also dust-tight. The area of the inner side 14 thus enlarged could be provided for a further holder 15 ', 15' '.

To better pull out the drawer plate 7, the base plate 27 'has a central recess 36 in the front area. The space 41 available below the base plate 27 'can be used for storing work aids. _/8th In FIG. 12, the shelf 15 'is shown in a side view of the front wall 13, the shelf 15' being provided with a torsion spring 37 for the purpose of retaining it.

FIGS. 13 and 14 show another embodiment of a shelf 15 ″ in the same view as FIG. 12. Due to its design, this shelf 15 ″ enables the shelf 15 ″ to be inclined, for which purpose a rotary bearing 38 is provided at the upper end of the shelf 15 ″ and at the other end by means of a pivot bearing 38 ′ a spacer pin 39 is connected. This spacer pin 39 has a support rail 40 for supporting a template 34, which can be firmly coupled, for example, to the spacer pin 39 so that when the holder 15 ″ is not in use it can be brought into the position according to FIG.
