Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to a holding device for mounting a mounting component, such as a mobile terminal device and in particular a smartphone, a drinking bottle holder, a mudguard, a saddle bag, a packaging bag, a lighting element, an air pump unit, a tool unit, etc., on a vehicle guided by handlebars, such as a bicycle, the holding device having a fastening device for fastening the holding device to the vehicle guided by handlebars and a connecting device for connecting the mobile terminal device to the fastening device. Background Art

[0002] Handlebar-guided vehicles, such as bicycles, e-bikes, quads, motorboats, scooters, mopeds, motorcycles, etc., are guided by means of a handlebar arrangement having at least one handlebar. The use of the above-mentioned mounting components and in particular mobile terminals, such as smartphones, tablet computers, navigation devices, cameras, etc., is also very popular among users of handlebar-guided vehicles.

[0003] DE102017128167A1 discloses a holding device for a bicycle for connecting a mobile terminal. To connect the mobile terminal, a fastening disk with a convex protrusion is used, which forms a bayonet connection with a receiving space, and a protrusion extending into the receiving space in the radial direction is also formed at the end of the receiving space. The fastening disk has a diameter of 40 mm and more.

[0004] In particular, when there must be space between other mountings (such as brake levers and bells) or on the vehicle frame, the large diameter of the fastening disk has proven to be uncomfortable in practice. The bayonet connection only works at a specific orientation of the projection on the fastening disk, so that the user absolutely has to exert a significant moment to establish the connection, in which the user needs a major part of his attention to reliably establish the connection. In addition, the large fastening disk has a significant impact on the appearance of the bicycle. In addition, the manufacturing costs for large fastening disks with bayonet connections are high. Summary of the invention

[0005] Therefore, the task of the present invention is to provide a holding device for a vehicle guided by a handlebar, which can achieve higher operating comfort. In addition, the holding device should particularly have a small structural space and preferably can be manufactured cost-effectively.

[0006] This object is achieved by a holding device having the features according to claim 1 and a handlebar-guided vehicle having the features according to claim 15. Preferred further developments are the subject of the dependent claims. Further features and advantages are part of the general description and the description of exemplary embodiments.

[0007] The holding device according to the invention for mounting at least one mounting component, such as a mobile terminal device, in particular a smartphone, a drinking bottle holder, a mudguard, a saddle bag, a packaging bag, a lighting element, an air pump unit, a tool unit, etc., on a vehicle guided by the handlebars, such as a bicycle, comprises:

[0008] at least one fastening device for fastening the holding device to a vehicle; and

[0009] At least one connecting device is used to connect the mobile terminal device to the fastening device.

[0010] The connecting device has at least one first adapter unit, which has at least one securing device for receiving a second adapter unit, and the securing device has at least one groove element for positively locking the connection.

[0011] Preferably, at least the first adapter unit is fixedly connected, in particular integrally connected, to the fastening device or is formed on the fastening device and / or is detachably connected to the fastening device.

[0012] The present invention has many advantages. A significant advantage of the present invention is that the groove element is designed for fixing the connection on the first adapter unit. Since the restraining device only has to include the groove element and does not have to include mechanically movable parts, the first adapter unit can be implemented in a particularly small and particularly flat manner, that is to say with a small structural height. As a result, the retaining device can be manufactured particularly cost-effectively. In addition, the retaining device is also suitable for installation directly by the vehicle manufacturer. In addition, the groove element allows a simple and comfortable fixing of the connection, for example by engaging in the groove and in particular also clamping in the groove, a particularly movable element. In addition, such a groove element can be used for fastening in a plug-in connection, wherein the plug-in connection can be established relatively particularly intuitively and particularly quickly by the user and can also be loosened again, for example by simply plugging in and pulling out.

[0013] Preferably, at least the profiled element of the restraining device and in particular the restraining device of the first adapter unit are designed axially symmetrically at least to at least one first symmetry plane and in particular also to a second symmetry plane. Preferably, the second symmetry plane extends transversely to the first symmetry plane, in particular at right angles to the first symmetry plane. In particular, the respective symmetry plane extends through the central axis of the holding device. Advantageously, the restraining device thus has a geometry that enables the user to accommodate the second adapter unit and in particular the mounting component in different orientations or angular positions relative to the central axis. As a result, the user can better adapt the orientation of the mounting component to his needs.

[0014] Particularly preferably, the groove element extends at least partially in the circumferential direction around the profile element of the restraining device, which is substantially designed along the central axis. In particular, the groove element preferably extends transversely to the central axis at least partially along the circumference of the profile element. Advantageously, the groove element thereby forms an area that can be engaged from the back in the direction of the central axis and / or an undercut area, into which a profile element, such as an arm of a clamp unit or the like, can engage, in order to produce a secure and form-fitting connection that cannot be easily detached. Further advantageously, the groove element thereby can absorb forces particularly effectively and conduct them in the direction of the fastening device.

[0015] Preferably, the profiled element has at least one, preferably substantially constant, polygonal and preferably rectangular cross section and particularly preferably a square cross section along the center axis. Advantageously, the polygonal profiled element enables a rotationally fixed connection between the first adapter unit and the second adapter unit, which connection has a fixed orientation or angular position relative to the center axis.

[0016] Preferably, the first adapter unit has a small maximum length extension substantially transverse to the center axis, and in particular has a small maximum outer diameter or a small maximum distance. The maximum outer diameter is used exemplarily below, wherein this term can be replaced by the term "maximum length extension and / or maximum distance transverse to the center axis" throughout the application. Advantageously, the first adapter unit has a maximum outer diameter of less than 50 mm, preferably less than 40 mm and particularly preferably less than 30 mm. In addition, a maximum diameter of less than 20 mm or 15 mm or even 10 mm is also possible. Preferably, the fastening device of the holding device on the vehicle has a maximum outer diameter of less than 50 mm, preferably less than 40 mm and particularly preferably less than 30 mm. In addition, a maximum diameter of less than 20 mm or 15 mm or even 10 mm is also possible. Advantageously, the first adapter unit and the fastening device can be mounted at different locations on the vehicle, in particular when it is not particularly prominent visually, for example, mounted on the handlebar device. Here, the holding device can be designed so small in diameter in particular that the diameter of the fastening device on the vehicle roughly corresponds to the diameter of the handlebar (lenkstange) or the diameter of the receiving portion on the handlebar of the handlebar stem. In addition, the maximum outer diameter can also be smaller.

[0017] Particularly preferably, the fastening device is mounted on a vehicle and / or can be mounted on a handlebar stem, a bicycle frame, a bicycle fork, a saddle, etc., as a component of a handlebar arrangement of a vehicle. Advantageously, a variant is suitable in which the fastening device including the first adapter unit of the connecting device can be mounted on a vehicle. Furthermore, the holding device is suitable for being mounted directly by the vehicle manufacturer during assembly of the vehicle, since the mounting can be achieved here, for example, by a simple screw connection. Advantageously, when mounted on the handlebar stem of the handlebar arrangement, the handlebar holder is free for other or additional and in particular other holding devices.

[0018] Advantageously, the fastening device can also be directly received on the vehicle and in particular be screwed to the handle, the handlebar or another part of the handlebar device. Suitably, the fastening device of the holding device on the vehicle has a threaded unit with at least one threaded element. Preferably, the handlebar device also comprises at least a handlebar fork and / or a handlebar and / or a handlebar (Lenker). In particular, the fastening device can alternatively or additionally have at least two parts that can be connected to each other, which can jointly surround the handlebar of the two-wheeled vehicle and fix the fastening device of the holding device on the two-wheeled vehicle when connected to each other. In addition, the fastening device can also be fastened to a frame element of a frame device on the vehicle, etc.

[0019] In particular, at least one second adapter unit is included, which can be received on the first adapter unit. Preferably, the second adapter unit has at least one receiving device for receiving on the first adapter unit. In particular, the receiving device of the second adapter unit has at least one shaped portion for this purpose, which matches the shaped element of the restraining device of the first adapter unit, so that the first adapter unit and the second adapter unit can be positioned or positioned in each other in a form-locking manner even in the unlocked state. This advantageously achieves a reliable retention, wherein the second adapter unit is received on the second adapter unit in a tilt-proof manner relative to the shaped element on the first adapter unit. In addition, a relative movement of the second adapter unit and the mobile terminal device relative to the first adapter unit is prevented. Preferably, the reliable retention is ensured by contours that are configured to be form-locked to each other between the first adapter unit and the second adapter unit.

[0020] Preferably, the second adapter unit comprises at least one elastically deformable clamp unit for locking the connection. Preferably, at least at least one partial section of the clamp unit is at least partially arranged and / or received within the groove element in the locked state.

Preferably, the groove element and / or the clamp unit at least partially have a circular and / or polygonal and / or polygonal cross section. Advantageously, the circular or polygonal cross section allows for a low movement resistance of the clamp unit relative to the groove element and of the groove element relative to the clamp unit. As a result, the clamp unit can be easily slid over obstacles, such as profiled elements, when being received and removed.

[0022] In particular, the clamp unit is at least partially constructed from a metal material, preferably from spring steel. Advantageously, metal materials are particularly stable and durable and wear-resistant. In addition, spring steel is particularly flexible and resistant to vibration fatigue, so that it can be elastically bent without problems, for example in order to unlock the connection by at least partially deforming the clamp unit. In addition, the spring steel automatically assumes its original shape again during elastic deformation. Due to internal material forces, the clamp unit acts like a spring. Advantageously, the clamp unit is designed in the form of a metal wire and / or is constructed from a metal wire.

[0023] Advantageously, the clamp unit comprises at least one arm and in particular two arms. Preferably, at least one section of the arm of the clamp unit extends through the receiving device, under and / or over the receiving device in the intended use, that is to say on one side of the mobile terminal device or on the side of the second adapter unit opposite to the mobile terminal device. Particularly preferably, at least sections of the two arms of the clamp unit extend at least partially through the receiving device, that is to say under and / or over the receiving device. Advantageously, when the arms of the clamp unit are elastically configured so that they are deformed autonomously on the profiled element of the restraining device by the action of force during insertion and then slide into the groove element so that there is a quick lock, the second adapter unit can thus be received and locked at the same time by simply inserting it on the profiled element of the restraining device. For this purpose, the profiled element can, for example, have a chamfer or a rounded portion, which makes it easier to guide the arms of the clamp unit.

[0024] Preferably, the arms of the clamp unit are arranged on opposite sides of the receiving device. In particular, the arms extend substantially parallel to one another. Advantageously, the arms of the clamp unit thus surround the profiled element of the restraining device from two opposite sides in the groove element in the locked state, so that the locking is particularly reliable and, in particular, anti-tilting.

[0025] The clamp unit is advantageously mounted on the second adapter unit and / or the mounting component so as to be displaceable, in particular along the groove element. Advantageously, the connection can be transferred particularly simply and intuitively by moving the clamp unit into an unlocked position in which the second adapter unit and the mounting component can be removed and in particular pulled out. Advantageously, the clamp unit can be transferred into the unlocked position by pulling or pressing, preferably in the direction of the groove element.

[0026] In particular, at least one arm of the clamp unit comprises at least one opening section for unlocking the connection when the clamp unit is moved. Advantageously, the opening section can be bent at least inwardly and / or outwardly relative to the slot element. Furthermore, the clamp unit can comprise an opening element which, when the arm of the clamp unit is moved, causes the arm of the clamp unit to open and press the arm out of the slot element. The clamp unit is then preferably in the unlocked position and the second adapter unit can be removed.

[0027] In particular, the mounting component is configured and / or received on the second adapter unit. The mounting component is configured in particular as a receiving housing for a mobile terminal device such as a smartphone, a drinking bottle holder, a fender, a saddle bag, a packaging bag, a lighting element, an air pump unit, a tool unit such as a tool bag, etc.

[0028] Advantageously, the mounting component is configured as a receiving housing for receiving the mobile terminal. The receiving housing at least partially surrounds and / or encloses the mobile terminal. Advantageously, the receiving housing enables the mobile terminal to be reliably connected to the adapter unit and at the same time enables the mobile terminal to be protected from damage, for example, due to stone impacts, etc.

[0029] Preferably, the second adapter unit and in particular the receiving housing comprise at least one magnet unit, which is in particular used to magnetically receive the mobile terminal device, for example to receive it on an inductive charging adapter for energy supply and / or to in particular inductively charge the mobile terminal device. Advantageously, the magnet unit comprises at least one magnet and in particular a plurality of magnets. Particularly advantageously, a magnetic force can be generated between the second adapter unit and / or the receiving housing and at least one magnetic material of the mobile terminal device, which at least assists in retaining the mobile terminal device on the second adapter unit and / or the receiving housing. In addition, it is even possible that the holding force of the mobile terminal device on the second adapter unit and / or the receiving housing can be generated only by the magnet unit. Particularly advantageously, the magnet unit can be dimensioned so that the magnetic force is dimensioned to a greater extent than required for vibrations in everyday driving conditions. Alternatively or additionally, the magnetic fixing unit can also comprise at least one electromagnetic unit, wherein the magnetic force is not generated permanently, but rather by a switchable current.

[0030] Preferably, the second adapter unit and in particular the received mounting component can be locked in two different positions relative to the first adapter unit, wherein the two positions in particular enclose an angle of 90° with respect to one another. Advantageously, the second adapter unit can thereby be received on the first adapter unit in different angular positions and / or orientations relative to the first adapter unit. Advantageously, the mounting component connected to the second adapter unit can thereby also be received in different positions, for example vertically or laterally.

[0031] Preferably, the connecting device comprises at least one centering unit for better centering the second adapter unit on the first adapter unit. In particular, the centering unit comprises a profiled element or a plurality of profiled elements engaging with one another, such as ribs engaging with complementary grooves, which are formed on the first adapter unit and / or the second adapter unit. In this case, the ribs and / or the grooves can be formed on the first and / or the second adapter unit. In particular, a plurality of ribs and / or grooves are arranged angularly offset with respect to one another. Advantageously, the centering unit enables a particularly precise orientation of the first adapter unit relative to the second adapter unit.

[0032] In particular, the connecting device comprises at least one elastic spring unit, in particular for receiving the second adapter unit on the first adapter unit without play. Preferably, the spring unit at least and in particular comprises two or more spring elements. Suitably, the spring element is configured as an elastic body, such as an elastomer and in particular as rubber. Preferably, the spring element is configured as an elastomer ring or a rubber ring and is preferably configured as an O-ring made of an elastomer. Advantageously, the spring unit compensates for the play between the second adapter unit and the first adapter unit in the received state, so that the holding force can be transmitted without wear. In particular, the spring element is received on the second adapter unit. Preferably, the elastic spring element is at least partially tensioned relative to the first adapter unit during insertion. Thus, a play-free holding is achieved.

[0064] The holding device according to the invention does not necessarily have to have all of the features described below. It is also possible that the holding device according to the invention has only some of the features of the exemplary embodiments described below.

[0065] Figure 1 A schematic diagram of a holding device 1 according to the invention for receiving different mounting components 200 is shown. The holding device comprises a fastening device 2 for fastening the holding device to a vehicle 100 guided by the handlebars and comprises a connecting device 3 with a first adapter unit 4 and a second adapter unit 8. The first adapter unit 4 comprises a restraining device 5 with a groove element 6a, to which the second adapter unit 8 can be received and locked. The mounting component can be formed, for example, by a mobile terminal device 200, such as a smartphone 200, a drinking bottle holder 200, a mudguard 200, a saddle bag 200, a packaging bag 200, a lighting element 200, an air pump unit 200, a tool unit 200, etc.

[0066] Figure 2A schematic perspective view of a handlebar-guided vehicle 100 according to the invention is shown, which has a holding device 1 according to the invention. The mounting component 200 is designed as a mobile terminal 200. Further details are discussed here by way of example with the aid of this embodiment. The mobile terminal 200 is received in a locked position 18 in the first position 12 of the holding device 1, i.e. vertically. The holding device 1 is fastened to the handlebar stem 111 of the handlebar device 100. Alternatively, the holding device 1 can also be fastened to the handlebars 113 of the handlebar device 110, etc. The mobile terminal 200 is received in a receiving housing 17.

[0067] Figure 3 1 shows a schematic perspective view of a vehicle 100 guided by a handlebar, which has a holding device 1 with a mobile terminal 200, wherein the mobile terminal 200 is locked in a second position 13, ie in this case in a first position 12 (see Figure 2 ) compared to laterally locked.

[0068] Figure 4 The holding device 1 is shown in a schematic side view in a locked position 18. The holding device 1 is fastened to the vehicle 100 via a fastening device 2. The fastening device 2 comprises a screw for fastening to a handlebar 111, see Figure 2 and Figure 3 The fastening device 2 is connected to the connecting device 3. The connecting device 3 enables a releasable connection between the first adapter unit 4 and the second adapter unit 8. The holding device 1 extends along the center axis 5. Furthermore, the fastening device 2 and the first adapter unit 4 of the connecting device 3 are designed axially symmetrically with respect to the second symmetry plane 23.

[0069] The maximum outer diameter 7 of the first adapter unit 4 and the fastening device 2 is 32 mm in this case, so that neither the first adapter unit 4 nor the fastening device 2 protrudes beyond the outer dimensions of the handlebar stem 111, see Figure 2 and Figure 3 As a result, the holding device 1 is particularly suitable for preassembly by the vehicle manufacturer, since the fastening device 2 and the first adapter unit 4 are particularly compact. Furthermore, the holding device 1 can be produced particularly cost-effectively, for example as an injection-molded part.

[0070] The first adapter unit 4 has a restraining device 6 with a profiled element 6b which extends along the center axis 5. The restraining device 6 also comprises a groove element 6a which here extends circumferentially around the profiled element 6b of the restraining device 6 and forms an undercut or undercut region.

[0071] The second adapter unit 8 comprises a receiving device 11. The receiving device 11 has a contour which corresponds to the contour of the profiled element 6b of the restraining device 6 of the first adapter unit 4, so that the second adapter unit 8 is received on the first adapter unit 4 in a form-fitting manner.

[0072] In order to lock the connection between the first adapter unit 4 and the second adapter unit 8, the holding device 1 comprises a clamp unit 14 with two arms 15. The clamp unit 13 is made of spring steel and is elastically bendable. The clamp unit 14 is movably mounted on the second adapter unit 8. The arms 15 of the clamp unit 14 are received in the groove element 6a, so that there is a positive locking.

[0073] Figure 4 A schematic side view of the holding device 1 is shown in the locked position.

[0074] Figure 5 A schematic sectional view of the holding device 1 is shown in the locked position 18 .

[0075] Figure 6 The holding device 1 is shown in a schematic representation from below in the locked position 18. The clamp unit 14 here projects outwards below the receiving housing 17 and can be pulled on the tabs in order to transfer the connecting device 3 into the unlocked position 19, see Fig.11 .

[0076] Figure 7 A schematic top view of the holding device 1 is shown in the locked position 18. The second adapter unit 8 is received on the first adapter unit 4 in a form-fitting manner. The receiving device 11 of the second adapter unit surrounds the profiled element 6b of the restraining device 6 of the first adapter unit 4. The contour of the receiving device 11 is adapted to the square cross-sectional shape of the profiled element 6b of the restraining device 6. The profiled element 6b of the restraining device 6 is designed to be axially symmetrical with respect to two symmetry planes 22, 23 arranged at right angles to each other and extending through the center axis 5. Due to the square cross-sectional shape of the profiled element 6b of the restraining device 6 of the first adapter unit 4, the second adapter unit 8 can be received on the first adapter unit 4 in a rotationally fixed manner in two different orientations, see Figure 1 and Figure 2 .

[0077] The two arms 15 of the clamp unit 14, which are movably supported on the second adapter unit 8, extend above the receiving device 11. The arms 15 are received in the groove element 6a in the fixing position 19 and the connection is in the locked position 18. Each arm 15 of the clamp unit 14 comprises an expansion section 16 for transferring the connection into the unlocked position 19. When the clamp unit is moved, the expansion section 16 slides on the expansion element 16a of the clamp unit 14, so that the arms 15 of the clamp unit 14 are opened and the connection is transferred to the unlocked position 19, see Fig.12 .

[0078] In addition, the second adapter unit 8 comprises a magnet unit 25 with a plurality of magnets, which are arranged in a circular manner around the center axis 5 of the holding device 1. The magnets serve to magnetically receive the mobile terminal 200 and to fix the position of the mobile terminal 200 on an inductive charging adapter for contactlessly charging the mobile terminal 200.

[0079] Figure 8 The schematic perspective view shows the holding device 1 in the locked position 18. It can be clearly seen here how the arms 15 of the clamp unit 14 are received in the groove elements 6a formed on the profile elements 6b of the restraining device 6 of the first adapter unit 4 and lock the connection.

[0080] Fig. 9 The holding device 1 is shown in a schematic side view in the unlocked position 19. The movably mounted clamp element 14 is displaced or pulled out in this case, see Figure 4 .

[0081] Fig.10 The schematic sectional view of the holding device 1 in the unlocked position 19 is shown. By moving the clamp unit 14, the arms 15 of the clamp unit 14 are no longer received in the groove element 6a. The second adapter unit 8 can be removed upward. The clamp unit 14 is made of a wire made of spring steel, so that the arms 15 are elastically spread outward when the clamp unit 14 is moved. If the clamp unit 14 is released, the clamp unit 14 moves back into the locked position 18 due to the elastic properties of the spring steel.

[0082] Fig.11 1 shows a schematic view from below of the holding device 1 in the unlocked position 19. The movably mounted clip unit 14 is in the outwardly pulled state, for example, by pressing with the fingers of a user, see Figure 6 .

[0095] Fig.24 A schematic cross-sectional view of a holding device 1 is shown, which has an elastic spring unit 26. The spring unit 26 comprises two spring elements 26, which are formed of an elastomer, and are formed as O-rings 26. The spring elements 26 are received on the second adapter unit 8 and are directly adjacent to the receiving device 11. The spring elements 26 are arranged opposite to each other from the receiving device 11. The O-rings 26 are tensioned relative to the profiled element 6b of the restraining device 6. This allows the second adapter unit 8 to be held on the first adapter unit 4 of the connecting device 3 without play. The holding force is transmitted between the second adapter unit 8 and the first adapter unit 4 via the spring unit 26. The spring unit 26 compensates for the play caused by the manufacturing between the second adapter unit 8 and the first adapter unit 4. The spring element 26 is deformed when it is inserted on the profiled element 6b, so that a comfortable insertion can be achieved.

[0096] Fig.25Another schematic sectional view of a holding device 1 is shown, which has an elastic spring unit 26. In the top view, the section around the spring unit 26 is shown in section. The spring element 26 is plugged onto a receptacle 26a on the second adapter unit 8.

[0097] Fig.26 A further schematic sectional view of a holding device 1 is shown, which has an elastic spring unit 26. Here again the arrangement and function of the spring element 26 on the receptacle 26a can be clearly seen.
