Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to a translation and rotation fitting according to the preamble of claim 1 and to a piece of furniture or a household appliance. Background Art

[0002] Universal translational and rotational fittings, such as those known from DE 10 2019 109 866 A1, have proven themselves in practice for simultaneous translational and rotational movement of a first body relative to a second body, for example in the form of a shelf accommodated in a furniture body. Such translational and rotational fittings are usually fixed to the first body by means of a first fitting part.

[0003] Depending on the design of the furniture or household appliance element, it may be necessary to align the translational and swivel accessories in their mounting plane, which in the case of direct mounting on the first furniture body can be relatively time-consuming, depending on the assembly progress of the furniture, since individual parts may have to be disassembled again before alignment. Summary of the invention

[0004] The object of the invention is to provide a translation and rotation fitting with which an alignment in a horizontal plane can be carried out in a simple manner even later, and to provide an easily adjustable furniture or household appliance element having such a translation and rotation fitting.

[0005] This object is achieved by a translational and rotatable fitting having the features of claim 1 and by a piece of furniture or a household appliance element having the features of claim 15 .

[0006] A translational-rotational fitting according to the invention for simultaneous translational-rotational movement of a first body in one of two possible opposite rotational directions and in at least partially forced guidance in a predetermined translational direction relative to a second body has a first fitting part coupled to the first body and a second fitting part coupled to the second body and capable of simultaneous translational and rotational movement relative to the first fitting part.

[0007] At least one adjustment device actuatable by an auxiliary tool is arranged on the first fitting part for independently aligning it relative to the first body by a limited adjustment dimension in at least one of two mutually perpendicular adjustment directions in a plane defined by a translational direction and a rotational direction.

[0008] By means of the adjustment device arranged on the translation and rotation fitting, the translation and rotation fitting can be aligned in a simple manner in a horizontal plane between the first body and the second body.

[0009] Furthermore, the adjustment by means of the adjustment device also enables the aperture gap to be adjusted in a simple manner.

[0010] Advantageous embodiments of such an adjustment device are given in the dependent claims.

[0011] According to a preferred embodiment, the adjustment device of the translation-rotation fitting has a base plate arranged on the first body and a carrier plate arranged on the first fitting part.

[0012] According to a preferred further development, the adjustment device has a first slide which is held displaceably in a recess in the base plate in the second adjustment direction, and a second slide which is coupled to the first slide and is arranged displaceably relative to the base plate in the first adjustment direction.

[0013] A first lever fixedly but pivotably connected to the first slide for adjusting the carrier plate relative to the base in a first adjustment direction and a second lever fixedly but pivotably connected to the base for adjusting the carrier plate relative to the base in a second adjustment direction are also part of this preferred further development of the adjusting device.

[0014] In addition, the adjusting device has a plurality of guide bolts, which are fixed on the second slide and extend through the elongated holes in the base plate extending in the second adjustment direction into the elongated holes in the carrier plate extending in the first adjustment direction, and the first lever and the second lever have sockets for inserting and / or fixing auxiliary tools.

[0015] According to a further preferred embodiment, the first lever can be latched to the first slide by means of a latching element and the second lever can be latched to the base plate by means of a latching element in order to lock the adjustment device.

[0016] According to a preferred further development, the respective latching element is resiliently mounted in the region of the respective receptacles of the first lever and the second lever, so that the latching element can be pushed or pulled into the latching position without external forces.

[0017] In a preferred embodiment, latching teeth are formed on the first slider and in the area where the socket of the second lever on the base plate (which is used for inserting an auxiliary tool) is located, and the teeth can engage with the latching teeth of the latching bar of the latching element. When the auxiliary tool is inserted into the socket of the first lever or the second lever, the latching bar disengages from the latching teeth.

[0018] This allows the locking of the respective lever to be released simply by inserting an auxiliary tool when making the desired adjustment.

[0019] In an alternative embodiment of the translation-rotation fitting according to the invention, the adjustment device has an intermediate plate arranged between the bottom plate and the carrier plate and two base holders attached to the bottom plate, in each of which a sliding element is held so as to be displaceable in one of the adjustment directions. The carrier plate is slidably held on the intermediate plate in a first of the adjustment directions, and the intermediate plate is slidably held on the bottom plate in a second of the adjustment directions.

[0020] The sliding element has a socket for inserting and / or fixing an auxiliary tool, wherein the sliding element held in the first base holder is fixedly connected to the intermediate plate or the carrier plate, and the sliding element held in the second base holder is fixedly connected to the other of the intermediate plate and the carrier plate.

[0021] Such an alternative adjustment device also enables the second object coupled to the carrier plate to be aligned in a simple manner.

[0022] In a preferred embodiment of the adjustment device, the sliding element has at least one web which is aligned perpendicularly to the intended adjustment direction and projects in a form-fitting manner into a web receptacle of the intermediate plate or the carrier plate.

[0023] This allows the intermediate plate (together with the carrier plate) to move relative to the base plate or the carrier plate to move relative to the intermediate plate simply by moving the sliding elements.

[0024] In this design variant of the adjustment device, the sliding element has clamping webs which project into clamping devices accommodated in the respective base holders in order to lock the carrier plate in a preset position.

[0025] This enables an infinitely variable adjustment of the adjustment device.

[0026] In a preferred further development, each of the clamping devices has two ball carriers, each of which holds a ball therein, which are held in a corresponding recess of the base holder so as to be displaceable in a corresponding adjustment direction.

[0027] The balls are each mounted in a conical section of a respective recess and can be moved by sliding the ball carrier from a spring-loaded clamping position in which the clamping web of the respective sliding element is clamped to a release position in which the clamping web of the respective sliding element is not clamped and the balls release the clamping web.

[0028] According to a further alternative embodiment, the clamping of the sliding element can be designed such that the sliding element can be clamped to the base holder by means of a clamping element.

[0029] The clamping element is held in the clamping element receptacle of the base holder in such a way that it can be displaced in the adjustment direction, whereby the sliding element is pressed against the friction edge of the base holder in a direction perpendicular to the adjustment direction.

[0030] In this design variant, the sliding element must therefore be pushed forward a little perpendicularly to the displacement direction in the insertion direction using an auxiliary tool in order to release the clamping by the clamping element and then to effect a displacement movement in the desired adjustment direction in this advanced position.

[0031] According to an alternative embodiment, each of the clamping devices has two clamping body carriers, each of which holds a clamping body therein, and the clamping body carriers are displaceably held in corresponding recesses of the base holder in corresponding adjustment directions, wherein the clamping bodies are each mounted in a conical section of the corresponding recess and can be moved by moving the clamping body carriers from a clamping position in which the clamping web of the corresponding sliding element is clamped to a release position in which the clamping web of the corresponding sliding element is not clamped.

[0032] The clamping body is preferably designed as a cylinder, a roller, a slide or a wedge.

[0033] In another preferred embodiment, the auxiliary tool has an actuating tongue which can be inserted into a socket of the first lever or the second lever.

[0034] In a first preferred embodiment, the actuating tongue of the auxiliary tool which has been inserted into the respective holder can be pulled out of the respective holder again.

[0035] This means that once the accessory has been adjusted, the auxiliary tool can easily be removed from the accessory.

[0036] In an alternative embodiment, the actuating tongue of the auxiliary tool inserted into the respective holder is fixed in the respective holder.

[0037] Particularly preferred is a variant in which the actuating tongue of the auxiliary tool is coupled to the handle via a folding mechanism.

[0038] This means that the auxiliary tool is always available. Due to the folding mechanism, when not in use, it can be easily folded into a slot between the top or bottom edge of the front panel or side panel of the second body and the base or top panel of the first body.

[0039] According to a further preferred embodiment, the first and second fitting parts are designed as a first and a second fitting plate which, for a simultaneous translational and rotational movement, each have a running groove in a bearing surface facing one another, in which the rolling elements are guided.

[0040] An alternative translational and rotational fitting for at least partially forced guided simultaneous translational and rotational movement of a first body in one of two possible opposite rotational directions and in a predetermined translational direction relative to a second body has a guide element for the simultaneous translational and rotational movement on the first fitting part, which can be moved in a curved guide track arranged on or in the second fitting part.

[0041] The furniture or household appliance element according to the invention has a first body and a second body that is movable relative to the first body, and a translational rotation accessory, by means of which the second body can be moved relative to the first body in a predetermined translation direction and simultaneously in one of two possible opposite rotational directions.

[0042] The design of the translation and rotation fitting is as described above. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

[0066] In the following description of the drawings, terms such as top, bottom, left, right, front, rear, etc. refer exclusively to selected exemplary representations and positions of adjustment devices, bodies, translation and rotation accessories, base plates, carrier plates, slides, levers, etc. in the corresponding drawings. These terms should not be understood restrictively, i.e., these references can be changed due to different working positions or mirror-symmetrical designs, etc.

[0067] exist Figure 1 , Figure 2a and Figure 2b In the figure, reference numeral 1 denotes an integral furniture or household appliance element. The furniture or household appliance element 1 has a first body 2 and a second body 3, wherein the first body has a base 21 and a top plate 22, and the second body can move relative to the base, wherein the base 21 and the top of the first body 2 overlap with the second body 3.

[0068] In order to make the second body 3 (in Figure 3a The first body 2 is shown as a simple plate in the figure, and a translation and rotation fitting 4 is provided between the first body 2 and the second body 3, the translation and rotation fitting having a first fitting part 41 designed as a fitting plate, a second fitting part 42 also designed as a fitting plate, a plurality of rolling elements 44 and a rolling element holder 43, which holds the rolling elements 44 in a predetermined position relative to each other. The first fitting part 41 and the second fitting part 42 advantageously have running grooves for the rolling elements.

[0069] Alternatively, the second body 3 (in Figure 3bThe superimposed translational and rotational movement of the first body 2 (also shown by a simple plate in FIG. 1 ) relative to the first body 2 can be realized by a translational and rotational fitting 4', which has a first fitting part 41, a second fitting part 42, a linear guide 45, a guide rail 46, a guide element and a swivel head 47. Instead of the swivel head 47, a ball head or the like can also be used. The first fitting part 41 is designed here in the form of a retaining web for the two guide rails of the linear guide 45, on which the running rails can be displaced in the translational direction A. For example, it is also conceivable that the first fitting part 41, to which the guide rails are attached or molded, has a plate-like design. It is also conceivable for a linear guide 45 to have only one or more than two guide rails.

[0070] In addition, if you can Figure 3a or Figure 3b As can be seen in the figure, the adjustment device 100 or 200 is attached to the first body 2, the carrier plate 120 of which (as will be explained below) can be adjusted in the horizontal plane relative to the base plate 110 and can be fixed in a fixed position on the first fitting part 41 of the translation and rotation fitting 4, 4', so that the translation and rotation fitting 4, 4' can be aligned in the horizontal xy plane after the adjustment device 100 or 200 and the translation and rotation fitting 4, 4' are installed between the first body 2 and the second body 3. The adjustment in the horizontal xy plane can be performed in the x direction or the y direction, preferably, the adjustment can be performed in both the x direction and the y direction, as described below.

[0071] The translational and rotational accessories 4, 4' are characterized by the fact that the second body 3 can be moved relative to the first body 2 in a partially constrained, simultaneous translational and rotational movement relative to the first body 2 (i.e. in one of two possible opposite rotational directions R1, R2 and in a predetermined translational direction A), as also described in the example of DE 102019 109 866A1.

[0072] Figure 4 A first embodiment variant of the alignment of the translation and rotation fittings 4 , 4 ′ in the xy plane is shown in an exploded view.

[0073] As can be seen here, the first embodiment of the adjustment device 100 has a base plate 110 which can be fastened to the first body 2 and a carrier plate 120 which can be fastened to the first fitting part 41 of the translation and rotation fitting 4 , 4 ′.

[0074] The base plate 110 has a slide receptacle 111 in which a first slide 130 is accommodated, which is held displaceably relative to the base plate 110 in a second adjustment direction y.

[0075] Furthermore, a second slide 140 is provided, which is arranged on the base plate 110 and can also be displaced relative to the base plate 110 in the second actuation direction y. For guidance in the second actuation direction y, a guide cylinder 115 is arranged on the base plate 110, which protrudes into an elongated hole 146 in the second slide 140 extending in the second actuation direction y.

[0076] The second slide 140 is here essentially L-shaped and has a first leg 142 and a second leg 143 which is aligned approximately perpendicularly to the first leg 142 .

[0077] A tongue 144 with a hole extends from the second leg 143 for approximately half the length of the second leg 143 , in which tongue the pivot pin 131 of the first slide 130 is received, so that when the first slide 130 moves in the second positioning direction y, the second slide 140 also moves.

[0078] In addition, the adjustment device 100 has: a first lever 150, which is connected to the first slider 130 in a fixed but pivotable manner for adjusting the supporting plate 120 relative to the base plate 110 in a first adjustment direction x; and a second lever 160, which is connected to the base plate 110 in a fixed but pivotable manner for adjusting the supporting plate 120 relative to the base plate 110 in a second adjustment direction y.

[0079] A plurality of fixing guide bolts 180 are attached to the second slide 140 in apertures 147 provided for this purpose, which extend through elongated holes 112 of the base plate 110 extending in the second positioning direction y into elongated holes 122 of the carrier plate 120 extending in the first positioning direction x.

[0080] The first lever 150 and the second lever 160 each have a receptacle 151 , 161 for inserting and / or fixing the auxiliary tool 9 .

[0081] The auxiliary tool 9 is designed as a flat component and has a handle 92 and an actuating tongue 91. Figure 2a and Figure 2b As shown, this enables the auxiliary tool 9 to be Figure 1 , Figure 2a and Figure 2b The closed position of the second body 3 shown is to be inserted through the narrow slot 5 maintained between the upper edge or lower edge of the front panel or side panel 31 of the second body 3 and the base 21 or top plate 22 of the first body 2, so that the adjustment device 100 is accessible in any position of the second body and in particular in the closed position of the second body.

[0082] The horizontal alignment of the second body 3 relative to the first body 2 in the closed position is particularly advantageous, since it makes it possible to adjust the joint pattern in the closed position of the furniture or household appliance element 1 without having to dismantle or move parts to achieve adjustment accessibility. Another advantage is that it is possible to immediately check whether the adjustment has produced the desired result.

[0083] As an example, in the inserted state of the corresponding auxiliary tool 9, the side edge extending in the longitudinal direction of the auxiliary tool 9 of the actuating tongue 91 which can be inserted into the socket 151, 161 is aligned parallel to the side wall of the socket 151, 161, as can be seen in Figure 8 According to Figures 4 to 14 In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, these side edges of the actuating tongue 91 are in contact with side edges of a latching element 170 which is used to lock the adjustment device 100 , ie, the first lever 150 and the second lever 160 .

[0084] The latch element 170 is inserted into the socket 151 , 161 of the first lever 150 or the second lever 160 .

[0085] In order to adjust the carrying plate 120 in the first adjustment direction x or in the second adjustment direction y, auxiliary tools are used to rotate the levers 150 , 160 about their respective pivot points.

[0086] The pivot pin 131 of the first slide 130 , which projects into a pin receptacle 153 in the region of the end of the first lever 150 facing away from the receptacle 151 , serves as a pivot point for the first lever 150 .

[0087] A pivot pin 114 molded onto the base plate 110 serves as a pivot point for the second lever 160 .

[0088] To adjust the carrier plate 120 in the first adjustment direction x, the driver web 121 projects from the carrier plate 120 through the elongated hole 132 in the first slide 130 extending in the first adjustment direction x into the elongated hole 152 of the first lever 150 extending in the second adjustment direction y and into the elongated hole 145 in the second slide 140 .

[0089] In the assembled state, the side edge of the driver web 121 contacts the longitudinal side edge of the elongated hole 152 of the first lever 150, so that by pivoting the first lever 150 with a pivotal movement, the elongated hole 152 moves in the first adjustment direction, and in doing so, drives the driver web 121 and thus the supporting plate 120 to move in the first adjustment direction x.

[0090] If you can also Figure 4 As can be seen in FIG. 1 , the driver web 141 protrudes from the second slide 140 into an elongated hole 162 of the second lever 160 extending in the first positioning direction x.

[0091] Therefore, when the second lever 160 is pivoted via the driver web 141, the side edge of the driver web rests against the longitudinal side edge of the elongated hole 162 of the first lever 160, and the second slide 140 also moves in the second positioning direction y (relative to the base plate 110).

[0092] The latching element 170 is provided to lock the adjusting device 100 in a desired position.

[0093] The respective latching element 170 is fixed in the region of the respective sockets 151 , 161 of the first lever 150 and the second lever 160 .

[0094] In order to lock the levers 150, 160 in a predetermined position, latching teeth 113, 133 are formed on the first slider 130 and in the area of ​​the base plate 110, and the socket 161 of the second lever 160 for inserting the auxiliary tool 9 is positioned on the said area, and the teeth can be combined with the latching teeth of the latching bar 171 of the latching element 170.

[0095] When the auxiliary tool 9 is inserted into the sockets 151 , 161 of the first lever 150 or the second lever 160 , the latching bar 171 is disengaged from the latching teeth 113 , 133 , the base plate 110 , or the first slider 130 .

[0096] In the inserted position in the socket 151 , 161 , the actuating tongue 91 of the auxiliary tool 9 pushes the latching bar 171 of the respective latching element 170 out of the plane of the latching teeth 113 , 133 .

[0097] Figure 5 An example of the adjustment device 100 mounted on the first body 2 is shown, wherein one of the two auxiliary tools 9 is inserted into one of the sockets 151 , 161 of the first lever 150 or the second lever 160 .

[0098] The position of the guide bolt 180 in the elongated hole 122 of the carrier plate 120 indicates that the carrier plate 120 is in a neutral position in the first positioning direction x, which can also be seen from the center position of the auxiliary tool 9 .

[0099] In an alternative embodiment variant, instead of the auxiliary tool 9 being insertable as required into a socket 151, 161 provided for this purpose, the actuating tongue 91 of the auxiliary tool 9 is permanently fixed in the socket 151, 161, such as Figure 5a and Figure 5b shown.

[0100] In this embodiment, the auxiliary tool 9 is designed with a handle 92 that can be folded relative to the actuating tongue 91. To this end, the handle 92 is connected via a folding mechanism 93 to the actuating tongue 91 that is permanently accommodated in the corresponding socket 151,161.

[0101] This allows the handle 92 to be folded into the slot 5 when not in use, such as Figure 5b To operate the auxiliary tool 9, the second furniture part is preferably pushed aside or slightly rotated relative to the first furniture part 2 so that the handle 92 can be accessed.

[0102] Alternatively, it is also conceivable to provide the folding mechanism with an additional push mechanism, so that if necessary, by further pressing the side edge of the handle 92 close to the outer edge of the first body 2 into the narrow groove 5, the handle 92 is pulled out by triggering the push mechanism. Figure 5b The location shown expands to Figure 5a The position shown enables the first fitting part 41 to be adjusted.

[0103] Figure 8 An example of an adjusted position of the carrying plate 120 is shown which is achieved by pivoting the second lever 160 , which is accompanied by a displacement of the carrying plate 120 in the second positioning direction y.

[0104] Figures 9 to 14 Further different adjustment positions of the carrier plate 120 relative to the base plate 110 are shown, as well as its actuation by operating corresponding levers 150 , 160 .

[0105] An alternative preferred embodiment of the regulating device according to the invention is Fig.15 As shown in Figure 25.

[0106] As per Fig.17 and Fig.18 The exploded view of FIG. 2 shows in particular that this embodiment of the adjustment device 200 also has a base plate 210 that can be fastened to the first body 2 and a carrier plate 220 that can be fastened to the second body 3 .

[0107] and Figures 1 to 14 Compared to the illustrated adjusting device 100 , the adjusting device 200 has an intermediate plate 230 arranged between a base plate 210 and a carrier plate 220 in order to enable displacement in two adjusting directions x, y.

[0108] The intermediate plate 230 thus enables adjustment of the carrier plate 220 relative to the intermediate plate 230 on the one hand and adjustment of the intermediate plate 230 relative to the base plate 210 on the other hand, wherein the carrier plate 220 is moved together with the intermediate plate 230 .

[0109] If you can Fig.15 , Fig.17 and Fig.18 As can be further seen in , the adjustment device 200 has two base holders 240 , 250 attached to the base plate 210 , in each of which a sliding element 260 is received in a sliding element socket 241 so as to be displaceable in one of the adjustment directions x, y.

[0110] The carrier plate 220 is thus held displaceably on the intermediate plate 230 in the first positioning direction x, while the intermediate plate 230 is held displaceably on the bottom plate 210 in the second positioning direction y. Fig.15 and Fig.17 As shown, an elongated hole 221 extending in the first adjustment direction x is provided for displaceably mounting the carrier plate 220 on the intermediate plate 230 in the first adjustment direction x, in which a bolt 201 provided with a mushroom head and fastened to the intermediate plate 230 is received.

[0111] Therefore, the base holders 240, 250 have bolts 246, 256 on their side facing the intermediate plate 230, which are received in the elongated holes 231 of the intermediate plate 230 extending in the second positioning direction y so as not to hinder the displacement of the intermediate plate relative to the bottom plate 210 in the second positioning direction.

[0112] Similar to the levers 150 , 160 or the latching element 170 of the first embodiment, the sliding element 260 has a socket 261 for inserting the auxiliary tool 9 .

[0113] The sliding element 260 received in the first base holder 240 is fixedly coupled to the middle plate 230 , and the sliding element 260 received in the second base holder 250 is fixedly coupled to the carrier plate 220 .

[0114] This makes it possible to displace the intermediate plate 230 or the carrier plate 220 by moving the corresponding sliding element 260 .

[0115] In order to stably fix the sliding element 260 to the intermediate plate 230 or the supporting plate 220, the sliding element 260 has at least one or more webs 262, and in the embodiment example, two webs are shown that are aligned perpendicular to the intended adjustment directions x, y, and the webs protrude in a shape-fitting manner in the web sockets 222, 232 of the intermediate plate 230 or the supporting plate 220.

[0116] The web receptacles 222 , 232 are formed as elongated, hole-like depressions in the carrier plate 220 or the intermediate plate 230 .

[0117] like Fig.17As shown, the web socket 232 of the intermediate plate 230 is preferably formed as a whole in an area 233 of the intermediate plate 230 that is slightly raised relative to the rest of the surface of the intermediate plate 230 so that it is located in a recess 244 of the first base retainer 240 in the assembled state, wherein the area is guided in the second positioning direction y by the side edge 245 of the recess 244.

[0118] Furthermore, the sliding element 260 preferably has clamping webs 263 which protrude into a clamping device 270 which is received in the respective base holder 240 .

[0119] The clamping device 270 has two ball carriers 271, each of which holds therein a ball 272. However, more than two balls 272 may also be arranged in one ball carrier 271, depending on the configuration.

[0120] The ball carrier 271 and the corresponding balls 272 fixed to the ball carrier 271 are displaceably held in the corresponding recessed portions 242, 252 of the base holders 240, 250 in the corresponding positioning directions x, y using the first base holder 240 ( Fig.18 shown by way of example).

[0121] One of the base holders 240 , 250 , in this case the base holder 250 , is preferably formed in two parts, wherein a first part is held on the bottom plate 210 and a second part 255 can be inserted into the first part, and the recess 252 is formed in the second part 255 .

[0122] The balls 272 are each mounted in a conical section 243 , 253 of a corresponding recess 242 , 252 and can be moved by sliding the ball carrier 271 from a spring-loaded clamping position that clamps the clamping web 263 of the corresponding sliding element 260 to a released position that does not clamp the clamping web 263 of the corresponding sliding element 260 .

[0123] If you can Fig.18 and Figure 21b , Figure 22b , Figure 23b , Figure 24b and Fig.25b It can be seen in particular that the ball carriers 271 are moved away from each other in the longitudinal extension direction of the clamping web 263 in order to release the clamping web 263 .

[0124] The recessed portions 242 , 252 of each of the base holders 240 , 250 are formed in pair and are mirror-symmetrical with respect to a central imaginary mirror axis that is aligned perpendicularly to the longitudinal direction of the clamping web 263 .

[0125] This arrangement of the recesses 242, 252 has the following advantages: the ball carrier 271 can be moved from the clamping position to the release position by inserting the auxiliary tool 9 into the socket 261 of the sliding element 260, and after the auxiliary tool 9 is removed from the socket 261 of the sliding element 260, it can be moved from the release position back to the clamping position by spring loading.

[0126] like Fig.18 As shown, as an example, a spring element 273, in particular in the form of a compression spring, is provided for spring loading, which spring element is accommodated in a socket provided for this purpose in the ball carrier 271 and which is supported on the one hand on the inner wall of the socket of the ball carrier 271 and on the other hand on the rear wall of the corresponding recess 242, 252 extending perpendicularly to the actuating directions x, y, so that the ball carrier 271 is always pressed into the clamping position by the force of the spring element 273.

[0127] In alternative embodiments, it is also conceivable to use other clamping bodies with corresponding clamping body carriers instead of the ball carrier 271 in which the balls 272 are accommodated.

[0128] Cylinders, rollers, slides or wedges which are held in a suitably designed clamping element carrier are particularly conceivable as clamping elements.

[0129] Fig.19a A top view from below of the adjustment device 200 is shown, wherein one of the two auxiliary tools 9 is inserted into the socket 261 of one of the sliding elements 260 .

[0130] Here, the auxiliary tool 9 is positioned in a neutral position in a sliding element 260 coupled to the intermediate plate 230, so that by pivoting the auxiliary tool 9, a displacement of the intermediate plate and of the carrier plate 220 occurs in the second positioning direction y, as can be seen in Fig.19b Observed in.

[0131] In a corresponding manner, Fig.19c The adjustment of the carrier plate 220 is shown only in the adjustment direction x, and Fig.19d An adjustment of the carrier plate 220 in an adjustment direction x and also an adjustment of the carrier plate 220 and the intermediate plate 230 in an adjustment direction y are shown.

[0132] like Fig.20a and Fig.20b It is further shown that the ball carrier 271 of the clamping device 270 , in addition to holding the clamping balls 272 , also serves as a stop or pivot point for the auxiliary tool 9 acting as a lever in order to enable adjustment of the carrier plate 220 with as little force as possible.

[0133] For this purpose, the ball carrier 271 has an insertion chamfer 274 in order to facilitate the insertion of the actuating tongues 91 of the auxiliary tool 9 and the pushing apart of the clamping devices 270 arranged in pairs.

[0134] The insertion chamfer 274 is adjacent to a pivot point area 275 of a roughly circular cross-section, against which the side edge of the actuating tongue 91 abuts, and which forms a pivot point when the auxiliary tool 9 pivots in the plane determined by the actuating directions x, y, thereby achieving displacement of the corresponding sliding element 260 and thus the intermediate plate 230 and / or the carrier plate 220.

[0135] Fig.21a , Figure 21b to Figure 25a , Fig.25b The release of the sliding element 260 is illustrated in association with a sliding movement achieved by displacement of the ball carrier 271 and of the balls 272 held by the ball carrier 271 .

[0136] Fig.21a The slide element 260 is shown in a neutral position before the intermediate plate is displaced in the adjustment direction y or against the adjustment direction y, and a clamping device 270 consisting of two ball carriers 271 in a clamping position, in which the clamping web 263 of the slide element 260 is clamped by the balls 272, thereby preventing unintentional or accidental displacement in the adjustment direction y or against the adjustment direction y.

[0137] Figure 21b A partial cross-sectional view illustrating four balls 272 clamping the clamping web 263 is shown, which are advanced by means of spring elements 273 into the conical sections 243 , 253 of the respective recesses 242 , 252 until they clamp the clamping web 263 .

[0138] Fig.22a and Figure 22b The auxiliary tool 9 is shown inserted into the socket 261 of the sliding element 260 in a neutral position.

[0139] As can be clearly seen here, the ball carrier 271 is moved into the release position by the insertion of the auxiliary tool 9 .

[0140] If you can Figure 22b As can be seen in FIG. 2 , the balls 272 move into the further widened region of the conical section 243 , so that the clamping webs 263 are no longer clamped by the balls 272 and do not hinder the intended sliding movement of the sliding element 260 .

[0141] Fig.23a and Figure 23b The sliding element 260 is shown displaced in a direction opposite to the actuation direction y.

[0142] If you can Figure 23b As observed in FIG. 2 , the ball 272 is still in the released position without clamping the clamping web 263 .

[0143] Fig.24a and Figure 24b Shown with Fig.23a and Figure 23b This corresponds to the representation in which the sliding element 260 is displaced in the actuation direction y.

[0144] Fig.25a and Fig.25b The sliding element 260 is shown displaced in the adjustment direction y after the auxiliary tool 9 has been removed from the receptacle 261 of the sliding element 260 .

[0145] If you can Fig.25b It can be observed in particular that by removing the auxiliary tool 9 the balls 272 together with the ball carrier 271 are pressed back into the clamping position in which the clamping web 263 is held in its current position by the spring force of the spring element 273 .

[0146] Figure 26 to Figure 31 Another alternative embodiment regarding the locking of the sliding element 260 ′ is shown.

[0147] In this embodiment, the head 262' of the sliding element 260' protrudes into a recess 231' of the intermediate plate 230', which has a width adapted to the intended positioning direction x, y, wherein parallel side edges 263' of the head 262' of the sliding element 260' abut against side edges of the intermediate plate 230.

[0148] Therefore, the carrier plate 220 is also designed to have a web or header socket instead of two web mounts (not shown here).

[0149] The sliding element 260' is here clamped by a clamping element 280, as shown in the example Fig. 27 Shown in.

[0150] The clamping element 280 has a base body 281 located in the clamping element socket 241' of the base holder 240' and extending in the adjustment direction x, y, two bending arms 282 extend from the base body, and clamping sleeves 283 are formed at the ends of the bending arms. The clamping sleeves are positioned on both sides of the head 262' of the sliding element 260' in the installed state and protrude into a groove 242' parallel to the clamping element socket 241' of the base holder 240'.

[0151] In the clamped position, as in the example Fig.28, the clamping sleeve 283 rests between the shoulder 266 ′ of the sliding element 260 ′ and the conical clamping surface 232 ′ outside the recess 231 ′ of the intermediate plate 230 ′, so that the sliding element 260 ′ and the clamping sleeve 283 prevent displacement of the intermediate plate 230 in the adjustment direction x, y.

[0152] To release the clamp, Fig.29 As shown, the sliding element 260 is pushed further into the recess of the intermediate plate 230 ′ by inserting the auxiliary tool 9 in a direction perpendicular to the desired positioning direction x, y.

[0153] As a result, the clamping sleeve 283 is pushed outwardly via the beveled area 264' away from the shoulder 266' of the sliding element 260' and thus leaves the clamping area between the side edge of the groove 242' of the base holder 240' and the conical clamping surface 232' of the clamping clamping sleeve 283, and enters the widened area, in which the clamping sleeve 283 is pressed through the widened space between the side edge of the groove 242' of the base holder 240' and the conical clamping surface 232' of the clamping clamping sleeve 283, thereby releasing the clamping of the intermediate plate 230' and the sliding element 260'.

[0154] Fig.29 A sliding element 260 ′ has been shown which is adjusted in the positioning direction y.

[0155] Fig.30 The sliding element 260 ′ is shown to be displaced against the adjustment direction y, and Fig.31 The slide element is shown in the case where the auxiliary tool is removed. Fig.30 The sliding element 260 ′ is displaced, wherein the sliding element 260 ′ is pushed back into the clamping position by the spring force of the spring arm 282 of the clamping element 280 .

[0156] The pivot point for the auxiliary tool 9 is formed here by the inner edges of the base holder 240 ′ which are brought closer together.
