Description

[0001] The present invention relates to an assembly support comprising at least one head, at least one rod assembly, and at least one connecting element, wherein the head is received at a first end of the rod assembly by means of the connecting element, and wherein the head is pivotally connected to the rod assembly in at least one axis by means of at least one pivot element. The present invention further relates to a kit for manufacturing such an assembly support.

[0002] When mounting objects on a wall and / or ceiling, especially when working overhead and / or at heights inaccessible without a ladder, a single installer quickly reaches their limits.

[0003] Especially when installing long elements like curtain rods or decorative moldings, or when installing larger or bulkier objects such as a roller shutter box, a single installer often needs at least one extra hand to work safely and accurately. This would require a second person, who is not always available and would also incur significant additional costs.

[0004] When objects are to be mounted on the ceiling, for example when installing suspended ceilings, mounting supports can be used, which are clamped, for example, between a drywall panel to be attached to a suspension and the floor.

[0005] However, the existing supports are not flexible, especially when objects need to be mounted freely on a wall at a specific height. In such cases, an object cannot be clamped in place with a conventional mounting support.

[0006] It is therefore the object of the present invention to give a user, such as an installer, the possibility to attach flexible objects to a wall and / or ceiling, especially on their own.

[0007] This problem is solved by a mounting support having the features of claim 1 and by a set having the features of claim 23. Preferred embodiments of the invention are the subject of the dependent claims. Further advantages and features of the present invention will become apparent from the general description and the description of the exemplary embodiment.

[0008] The mounting support according to the invention comprises at least one head section, at least one rod assembly, and at least one connecting element. The head section is received in a first end of the rod assembly by means of the connecting element. Furthermore, the head section is pivotally connected to the rod assembly in at least one axis by means of at least one hinge element. The head section comprises at least one support surface and at least one bearing surface, wherein the support surface and the bearing surface are arranged at an angle to each other. The alignment of the bearing surface and the bearing surface is jointly adjustable along the at least one axis by means of at least one locking element.

[0009] In particular, the connecting device serves to ensure a stable connection between the rod assembly and the head. The connecting device can, for example, and preferably, comprise a threaded section that can be screwed into the rod assembly. Furthermore, the connecting device can preferably have a connecting plate or another type of fastening on the side facing the head, so that the head can be connected to the connecting device. Depending on the design, the connection to the head and / or to the rod assembly can also be achieved in other suitable ways.

[0010] The joint mechanism is specifically designed and configured to pivotally displace the head section in at least one axis. This can be achieved, for example, by using a swivel joint or a type of hinge; alternatively, a type of ball joint can be used, allowing for alignment in multiple planes.

[0011] The fact that the support surface and the mounting surface are adjustable together along at least one axis means in particular that the mounting surface and the support surface are adjustable simultaneously or in one work step along at least one axis in the angular position.

[0012] The contact surface and the mounting surface are provided in particular by flat elements such as a sheet of metal.

[0013] In particular, at least the head section and preferably the locking device are provided to be removable, so that at least the head section and preferably also the locking device can be removed, for example, for transport, in order to enable the most compact storage or transport possible. Especially if the head section and the locking device are provided to be detachable, they are also suitable, for example, as a set or retrofit set to further develop or convert conventional mounting supports into mounting supports according to the invention.

[0014] The bearing surface preferably has a length or extent in a leaning position towards the wall of 5 cm or more, and preferably from approximately 10 cm to 40 cm, particularly from 20 cm to 30 cm. Any suitable length can be used expediently. The bearing surface preferably has a width or extent in a leaning position parallel to the wall of 5 cm or more, and preferably from approximately 10 cm to 40 cm, particularly from approximately 10 cm to 20 cm. The contact surface preferably has the same width, particularly if the bearing surface and contact surface are manufactured as a single piece. The contact surface preferably has a length of 5 cm or more, and preferably from approximately 10 cm to 40 cm, particularly from 20 cm to 30 cm. Any other length or width, or range of lengths or widths for the contact surface or bearing surface can also be used expediently, depending on the application and design.

[0015] The mounting support according to the invention offers many advantages. Because the mounting support or the head section comprises at least one support surface and at least one bearing surface, the mounting support according to the invention, unlike conventional mounting supports, also allows the mounting support to be used as a shelf for objects to be mounted, even if the mounting support is not clamped between two walls such as a ceiling and a floor.

[0016] Conventional mounting supports must be clamped between two components, such as a ceiling and a floor, to achieve their intended functionality. While this is also possible with the mounting support according to the invention, the mounting support according to the invention can also be leaned against a wall, for example, with its contact surface, thereby providing an upper shelf or support surface for objects to be mounted.

[0017] This support surface for objects to be mounted can then be aligned in a desired angular position, for example in such a way that the support surface is horizontally aligned and enables a secure support of the object to be mounted.

[0018] In particular, when using two mounting supports according to the invention, even an elongated or very long object can be placed on the support surfaces, leaving both hands free for further assembly. Thus, the mounting support according to the invention provides a kind of helping hand, enabling a user to mount or attach even larger or longer objects to a wall and / or ceiling on their own.

[0019] Depending on the design, the locking mechanism allows for varying load-bearing capacities on the mounting surface. The support can be positioned individually to suit different building situations without causing structural problems. This allows long components in ceiling and wall areas to be precisely installed by a single person simply by tilting the mounting platform or support surface, or by adjusting the support angle.

[0020] By placing the component on the mounting platform, the mounting bracket allows for precise positioning, marking, and installation, ideally at millimeter accuracy. Placing the component on the platform allows the installer to focus solely on maintaining a secure footing on the ladder.

[0021] Preferably, the support surface is positioned at least partially above the mounting surface during intended use. This allows, in particular, an object to be brought into contact with a wall.

[0022] Preferably, the bearing surface and the contact surface are formed in one piece. It is particularly preferred that the bearing surface and the contact surface are provided by a single component. In particular, for example, a suitably angled or bent sheet metal or a suitably shaped plate made of plastic and / or the like can be used. Generally, the choice of shape and material can be made in a suitable manner, as known in the prior art, depending on the requirements.

[0023] The angle between the support surface and the contact surface is particularly advantageous if it is adjustable. In such a design, the support surface and the contact surface are connected to each other by a hinge, allowing a specific angular position to be fixed by appropriate means. For example, a screw connection can be provided, so that the angle between the support surface and the contact surface can be changed by loosening a screw connection, and the angular position is fixed by tightening the screw connection. This allows for a particularly suitable and gentle placement of the mounting support or head against a wall.

[0024] In appropriate further developments, the contact surface includes at least one angle. Such an angle can, in particular, include a chamfer or a rounded angle. A suitable radius can be provided, in particular, to ensure a particularly gentle contact of the headboard or the contact surface with the wall, regardless of the angle of the headboard relative to the wall.

[0025] In advantageous embodiments, the transition between the support surface and the contact surface is rounded, at least in sections. Here, too, a suitable radius is particularly preferred for gentle placement and contact of the head with the wall. This allows the transition between the support surface and the contact surface to also come into contact with the wall, so that the transition is also considered part of the contact surface.

[0026] Preferably, the hinge mechanism and the locking mechanism are designed as a single assembly and, in particular, as a type of hinged closure. In such a configuration, the angular position of the support surface can be adjusted as desired, for example, by positioning the mounting support on the floor at a suitable distance from the wall and leaning its contact surface against the wall. If, for instance, a horizontal orientation of the support surface is required, the corresponding angular position can be easily and simply adjusted using the locking mechanism or the hinged closure.

[0027] In preferred embodiments, the joint mechanism is encompassed by the connecting device. In such a design, the connecting device can, for example, be configured analogously to the hinged plate of a conventional mounting support. The head can be attached to such a plate. Depending on the embodiment, however, the joint mechanism, the locking device, and the connecting device can also be designed as a single assembly or component.

[0028] The locking device preferably includes at least one quick-release fastener or is designed as a quick-release fastener. A quick-release fastener is understood to mean, in particular, that a user can quickly, preferably easily, and especially without tools, adjust the angular position of the head section or of the contact surface and the support surface.

[0029] Preferably, the locking device comprises at least one stabilizing element. Such a stabilizing element serves in particular to stabilize the set angular position of the mounting surface and the bearing surface, especially when greater forces and, in particular, greater weights act on or are applied to the head. Depending on the design, this preferably enables a load-bearing capacity of the mounting surface or the bearing surface that is not comparable to other designs.

[0030] The stabilizing element is preferably pivotally mounted on the head and the rod assembly. In such a design, the locking device can be provided, in particular, by at least one stabilizing element. A pivotally mounted connection of the stabilizing element to the bearing surface of the head is especially preferred.

[0031] Preferably, the stabilizing element is telescopically designed, and in particular, is at least divided into two parts, the two parts of which are preferably movable and lockable relative to each other. This allows for necessary length compensation when adjusting the angular position along at least one plane. In such a design, three pivot points or hinge points are provided: one hinge point that allows the support surface and the contact surface to move in at least one plane, and two further hinge points with which the stabilizing element or the two parts of the stabilizing element are attached. To enable the adjustment of corresponding angles between the three ground points when repositioning the support surface, the previously described design incorporates length compensation via the stabilizing element.

[0032] In advantageous embodiments, the locking device comprises at least one fixing device slidably arranged on and / or along the rod assembly, wherein the stabilizing element is pivotally mounted on the head and the fixing device. Such a fixing device can, for example, be sleeve-like and / or provided as another component which is attached to the rod assembly or movably or slidably fastened to it.

[0033] The fixing device can be designed, in particular, as a clamping device, so that the position of the stabilizing element along the rod assembly can be fixed. In this embodiment, three pivot points are also provided: the pivot point that movably mounts the support surface and the contact surface in one plane on the rod assembly, and the pivot points of the stabilizing element on the head and the fixing device. To adjust the necessary angles between the three pivot points so that the support surface is in the desired orientation, the distance between the pivot point of the fixing device and the pivot point of the joint device is changed. For this purpose, the fixing device is slidably mounted on and / or attached to the rod assembly.

[0034] The fixing device preferably comprises at least two opposing spring assemblies. Each spring assembly serves to fix the sliding movement of the fixing device on or along the rod assembly in one (opposite) direction. Each spring assembly preferably includes at least one operating element, such as a lever or a push button, to release the corresponding spring assembly or to allow its sliding movement. This enables a user to easily adjust the angular position of the support surface.

[0035] In advantageous embodiments, the fixing device comprises at least one rotary closure and / or at least one screw closure. The fixing device can also be moved along the rod assembly by means of a rotary closure. In this case, the fixing device can be clamped to the rod assembly, particularly by turning or counter-turning parts of the rotary closure. With a screw closure, fixing can be achieved by means of at least one screw.

[0036] Advantageously, the fixing device includes at least one spring-loaded locking mechanism. With such a spring-loaded locking mechanism, for example, the rod assembly can be guided by a U-shaped spring with corresponding openings, the ends of which are accessible to a user. The locking device can then be released, for example, by moving the two ends of the spring-loaded plate towards each other or pressing them together. The rod assembly can then be moved within the openings of the spring-loaded plate.

[0037] In advantageous embodiments, the fixing device comprises at least one wedge lock. By inserting at least one wedge, particularly from below, into the fixing device, its downward displacement can be limited. Depending on the embodiment, a wedge may also be provided on the upper side.

[0038] In advantageous embodiments, the support surface and the contact surface are displaceable relative to the rest of the head section and / or the connecting device. Preferably, at least one rail and / or another type of bearing can be provided so that the support surface can be moved relative to the rest of the head section and / or the connecting device in the direction of the plane in which the support surface is pivotable. This also allows the angular position between three pivot points to be advantageously adjusted.

[0039] Preferably, at least one retaining element is assigned to the support surface, at least temporarily. Such a retaining element can preferably be hinged and / or pluggable and / or otherwise connected to the support surface. In particular, if the retaining element is pluggable, the support surface can include at least one corresponding opening and / or a corresponding grid for insertion at specific positions. This design makes it possible, if necessary, for example in the case of angled mounting, for a retaining element to prevent an object being mounted from sliding off an inclined support surface.

[0040] Particularly preferably, at least one spacer element is provided, which can be arranged at least temporarily on and / or attached to the support surface. Such a spacer element can, in particular, be hinged, pluggable, and / or otherwise connected to the support surface. The spacer element can also be provided by a retaining element. If the spacer element is designed to be pluggable, a grid with openings can also be provided, as described above. If a spacer element is arranged on or attached to the support surface, the mounting support can be clamped between the floor and ceiling, for example, like a conventional mounting support. The spacer element creates a mounting plane between the support surface and the ceiling, an intermediate ceiling, or other structural elements, such as a lintel, so that objects to be mounted can be placed on the support surface, thus eliminating the need for a user to hold the object during installation.

[0041] In particular, the rod assembly is designed as a telescopic rod or is length-adjustable. A telescopic rod of the type known in the prior art, especially as used in conventional assembly supports, can be provided. In particular, at least one spring-loaded pump feed or pumping mechanism can be provided to enable height adjustment, especially with millimeter precision. Lowering can also be carried out with high precision. For example, the mounting height can be adjusted with millimeter precision even with an object placed on the support surface.

[0042] Preferably, at least one foot device is provided at a second end of the rod device, in particular a hinged one. In particular, a design as used in the prior art for assembly supports or as used in conventional assembly supports may be provided.

[0043] The method according to the invention serves to mount at least one object on a wall and / or ceiling using a mounting support as previously described. The mounting support is leaned against a wall with its contact surface, and the support surface is (if necessary) aligned and locked in a desired orientation in order to place an object on it in a suitable manner.

[0044] The support surface can be adjusted, particularly before it is placed against the wall or even when the mounting support is already leaning against the wall. Depending on the design, the desired orientation is usually a horizontal alignment of the support surface, so that an object to be mounted can be placed on it securely and stably.

[0045] In particular, at least two mounting supports are used so that an object to be mounted can be safely placed on both mounting supports and, in particular, can be aligned in a mounting position using the two mounting supports.

[0046] Such a mounting support can be used, for example, for mounting curtain rods or roller shutter boxes. Other long or short objects can also be easily mounted using the mounting support according to the invention.

[0047] The inventive method for assembling at least one object also offers the advantages previously described for the inventive assembly support.

[0048] Another method according to the invention serves to mount at least one object on a wall and / or ceiling using a mounting support as previously described, wherein the mounting support comprises at least one spacer device which is arranged on and / or at the support surface. The mounting support is then, for example, clamped or braced between a floor and a ceiling, so that a mounting plane for supporting an object is created between the support surface and the ceiling.

[0049] The object according to the invention can then be easily and safely assembled by a user, since in particular both hands are free for assembly.

[0050] According to the invention, in such a design with a spacer device, a mounting support is also included, which does not comprise a contact surface but only a bearing surface.

[0051] This method according to the invention also offers the advantages that have already been described previously for the assembly support according to the invention.

[0052] According to the invention, a set for manufacturing an assembly support as previously described is also provided, wherein the set comprises at least one head part and at least one locking device as previously described for the assembly support according to the invention.

[0053] In particular, a conventional or known mounting support can be converted into a mounting support according to the invention using such a set, or the functionality according to the invention can be retrofitted.

[0054] The set according to the invention also offers the advantages previously described for the mounting support according to the invention.

[0055] Further advantages and features of the present invention will become apparent from the exemplary embodiment, which is explained below with reference to the accompanying figures.

[0056] The figures show: Fig. 1 a purely schematic representation of an embodiment of an assembly support according to the invention in a perspective view; Fig. 2 a purely schematic representation of an embodiment of a mounting support according to the invention in a side view; Fig. 3 a purely schematic representation of an embodiment of a mounting support according to the invention in a side view; Fig. 4 a purely schematic representation of an embodiment of a mounting support with spacer element according to the invention in a side view; Fig. 5 a purely schematic representation of an embodiment a purely schematic representation of an embodiment of a mounting support according to the invention in a side view; Fig. 6 a purely schematic representation of a further embodiment of a mounting support according to the invention in a side view; Fig. 7 a purely schematic representation of another embodiment of a mounting support according to the invention in a side view; Fig. 8 a purely schematic representation of another embodiment of a mounting support according to the invention in a side view; Fig. 9 a purely schematic representation of an alternative embodiment of a mounting support according to the invention in a side view; Fig. 10 a purely schematic representation of a further embodiment a purely schematic representation of an embodiment of a mounting support according to the invention in a side view; Fig. 11 a purely schematic representation of a further embodiment of a mounting support according to the invention in a side view; Fig. 12 a purely schematic representation of another embodiment of a mounting support according to the invention in a side view; Fig. 13 a purely schematic representation of an alternative embodiment of a mounting support according to the invention in a side view; and Fig. 14 a purely schematic representation of another embodiment of a mounting support according to the invention in a side view.

[0057] In Fig. Figure 1 shows a purely schematic assembly support 1 according to the invention, which is suitable for carrying out the methods according to the invention.

[0058] In the embodiment shown here, a perspective view shows the structure of such an assembly support 1, which comprises a head part 2 and a rod assembly 3, which are connected to each other by means of a connecting device 4.

[0059] In the illustrated embodiment, the rod assembly 3 is designed as a conventional telescopic rod 22, the length of which can be adjusted by means of a spring-loaded pump feed 26. This allows the head part 2 to be positioned at a desired mounting height.

[0060] The head part 2 is arranged at a first end 14 of the rod assembly 3, wherein a foot assembly 23 is provided at the second end 15 of the rod assembly 3, which here comprises a pivotally mounted plate 27, so that the foot assembly 23 always stands stably on the ground.

[0061] According to the invention, the head section 2 comprises a support surface 6 and a mounting surface 7, which are formed in one piece. The mounting surface 7 can, for example, be leaned against a wall 200 if an object 100 is to be mounted on this wall or the ceiling 300 above it. This object 100 can then be placed on the support surface 6. In the illustrated embodiment, a suitable mounting height can then be adjusted beforehand or even with the object 100 in place using the telescopic rod 22.

[0062] According to the invention, regardless of the leaning angle of the mounting support 1 against a wall 200, the support surface 6 or its angular position can be adjusted in at least one plane via a hinge mechanism 5, so that the object 100 to be mounted rests securely on the support surface 6. It is particularly preferred that the support surface 6 is then oriented substantially horizontally.

[0063] For the installation of particularly longer components such as curtain rods or other long strips or roller shutter boxes or the like, at least two such mounting supports 1 are used, which are leaned against a suitable wall and / or against adjacent and / or opposite walls at a suitable distance from each other.

[0064] In Fig. Figure 2 shows an embodiment of a mounting support 1 according to the invention in a side view, wherein the embodiment shown here corresponds to the embodiment according to Figure 2. Fig. 1 corresponds to.

[0065] Here too, the structure of the mounting support 1 according to the invention is shown, with the connection of the head part 2 to the rod device 3 being shown in detail.

[0066] The figure shows that a connecting device 4 is arranged at the first end 14 of the rod assembly 3, with the connecting device being screwed into the rod assembly via a threaded rod. Other connections to the rod assembly can also be used effectively.

[0067] The head section 2 is pivotally connected to the rod assembly 3 via the connecting device 4, with the joint mechanism 5 being integrated into the connecting device 4 in the illustrated embodiment. This makes it possible for the head section 2, or the support surface 6, together with the mounting surface 7, which is manufactured here as a single piece, to be adjusted in the angular position in at least one plane.

[0068] To ensure that the support surface 6 is stably fixed in the predetermined orientation or angular position during assembly, a locking device 8 is provided, which in the embodiment shown here is designed as a quick-release fastener 10. The locking device 8 comprises a fixing element 16 and a stabilizing element 11. The stabilizing element 11 is pivotally mounted on the head part 2 and, more specifically, pivotally mounted on the support surface 6 and on the fixing element 16.

[0069] In the illustrated embodiment, the fixing device 16 is designed in a sleeve-like form, or rather, the fixing device 16 is guided here over the rod assembly 3, so that the fixing device 16 can be moved up and down on the rod assembly 3. Due to the articulated connection of the stabilizing element 11, the angle of the support surface changes when the fixing device 16 is pushed up and down.

[0070] To ensure that the fixing device 16 only moves when desired, in the illustrated embodiment 2, it comprises opposing spring assemblies 17, 18, which prevent the fixing device 16 from moving in opposite directions. The movement of the fixing device 16 can be achieved by disengaging the spring assemblies 17, 18 from the rod assembly 3 by actuating the corresponding control element 28, thus allowing movement of the fixing device 16 in the desired direction. This simple method of releasing the fixing device 16 in a specific direction provides a quick-release mechanism 10.

[0071] Furthermore, it is indicated that a change in the length of the rod assembly 3 can be achieved via the pump feed 26 of the telescopic rod 22.

[0072] In Fig. Figure 3 is shown purely schematically to illustrate that the mounting support 1 according to the invention can also be used like a classic mounting support, for which purpose it is clamped or wedged between floor 400 and ceiling 300 or between two components.

[0073] In Fig. Figure 4 is a purely schematic representation showing that a separate or foldable spacer element 25 can be arranged on and / or attached to the support surface 6, with the mounting support 1 then being clamped between a floor 400 and a ceiling 300 or between two components. This is one way to carry out the method according to the invention.

[0074] By providing a spacer element 25, a mounting level 500 is created between the support surface 6 and the ceiling 300, which again serves for the arrangement or support of components 100 to be mounted.

[0075] Another method according to the invention using the mounting support 1 according to the invention is described in Fig. Figure 5 is shown purely schematically. The embodiment of the mounting support 1 shown here corresponds to the embodiments shown previously.

[0076] In the inventive method described here, an object 100 is placed on the support surface 6 of the mounting support 1 for mounting on a wall 200 and / or ceiling 300. The left view shows that the mounting support 1 is leaned against a wall 200 with the contact surface 7 of the head section 2. Unlike conventional mounting supports 1, the appropriately designed contact surface 7 or the appropriately equipped head section 2 allows for secure attachment to the wall 200 without the need for clamping the support between two components.

[0077] The left-hand view shows that, after leaning against the wall 200, the support surface 6 is arranged at a slight angle from the wall in the illustrated configuration. To ensure that the object 100 rests securely and stably on the support surface 6, the support surface 6 is aligned horizontally either before or after the object 100 is placed on it, either by means of the quick-release fastener 10 or by moving the fixing device 16 upwards along the rod assembly 3.

[0078] In Fig. Figure 6 shows a further embodiment of a mounting support 1 according to the invention, which corresponds in its basic structure to the embodiment shown previously.

[0079] In the embodiment shown here, it is indicated that objects 100 can also be mounted on a wall 200 and / or ceiling 300, which, for secure support on the support surface 6, must be oriented at an angle rather than horizontally. Depending on the design, this is also possible with the mounting support according to the invention. In particular, the stabilizing element 11 ensures that a very stable and reliable support can be achieved in any orientation of the support surface 6.

[0080] To prevent object 100 from slipping away in the illustrated embodiment, or in this case, from sliding down to the right, a hinged retaining element 24 is provided, which can be unfolded for this type of assembly. Depending on the design, the position of the retaining element 24 on the support surface 6 can also be adjusted. For this purpose, it can, for example, be not hinged but pluggable, for which a corresponding grid can be provided on the support surface 6.

[0081] In Fig. 7 is again the execution according to Fig. 2 Here, the rod assembly 3 is shown in a slightly inclined arrangement with a support surface 6 of the head part 2 angled towards it, in an enlarged view, the support surface 6 being horizontally oriented. The quick-release fastener 10 and the oppositely oriented spring assemblies 17, 18 are also shown here.

[0082] Furthermore, it is shown that the contact surface 7 has an angle 34, which allows the contact surface 7 to make gentle contact with the wall 200 relatively independently of the angle of the support surface 6. The transition between the contact surface 7 and the support surface 6 is also rounded to ensure gentle contact with the wall 200. This design of the support surface 6 and contact surface 7 is provided in all illustrated embodiments, but can also be designed differently depending on the specific embodiment.

[0083] In Fig. Figure 8 shows an alternative embodiment in which the locking device 8 comprises a fixing device 16 designed as a screw closure 30. A screw 33 is provided which is guided through the fixing device 16 and, when screwed in, fixes the fixing direction 16 to the rod device 3.

[0084] In Fig. Figure 9 shows a further embodiment of an assembly support according to the invention, which corresponds in its basic structure to the embodiments shown previously, wherein the locking device 8 comprises a fixing device 16, which here has a rotary lock 19. The fixing device 16 can be fixed to the rod assembly 3 by rotating several rotating parts of the rotary lock 19.

[0085] In Fig. Figure 10 shows a further embodiment of an assembly support 1 according to the invention, which corresponds in its basic structure to the embodiments shown previously, wherein the fixing device 16 of the locking device 8 comprises a spring lock 20. This spring lock 20 comprises a U-shaped bent spring plate 29 with openings through which the rod retainer 3 is guided. Due to the pre-loaded spring plate, it clamps itself to the rod retainer 3, so that the fixing device 16 is fixed to the rod retainer 3. When the two operating elements 28 at the ends of the spring plate 4 are moved towards each other, the rod retainer 3 is released in the spring plate 4, so that the fixing device 16 can be moved upwards or downwards along the rod retainer 3.

[0086] Another alternative embodiment is in Fig. Figure 11 is shown purely schematically in a side view. In the illustrated embodiment, the fixing device 16 of the locking device 8 comprises a wedge lock 21.

[0087] Two wedges 31 are provided here to fix the fixing device 16 to the rod assembly 3, with one wedge inserted at the bottom and one wedge at the top between the rod assembly 3 and the fixing device 16. If the wedges are removed, the fixing device 16 can be moved along the rod assembly.

[0088] Another embodiment is in Fig. Figure 12 shows that the locking device 8 is provided exclusively by the stabilizing element 11, wherein the stabilizing element 11 is pivotally arranged on the rod assembly 3 and the support surface 6 in the illustrated embodiment.

[0089] For the purpose of attaching or articulately receiving the stabilizing element 11 on the rod assembly 3, a hinge with a clamp or a clamp is arranged on the rod assembly 3.

[0090] To achieve a suitable length difference for adjusting the angle of the support surface 6, the stabilizing element 11 in the illustrated embodiment is provided in two parts, wherein a first part 12 is pivotally mounted on the rod assembly 3 and a second part 13 is pivotally mounted on the support surface 6. To enable the setting of fixed angular positions, a fixing element 32 is provided, which can be fixed here by means of a hand-operated screw.

[0091] In Fig. Figure 13 shows an alternative embodiment, in which the locking device 8 is again provided solely by a stabilizing element 11. As previously shown, the stabilizing element 11 is pivotally mounted on the rod assembly 3, but instead of a clamp, a different component is used for fastening. The other side of the stabilizing element 11 is pivotally mounted on the support surface 6.

[0092] To change the angular position of the support surface 6, in the illustrated embodiment, the support surface 6 can be shifted to the left and right relative to the rest of the head part 2 or relative to the connecting device 4. This changes the angular position of the support surface 6 relative to the rod assembly 3.

[0093] In Fig.Figure 14 shows another alternative embodiment, in which the joint device 5 is integrated into the locking device 8 and not into the connecting device 4.

[0094] This embodiment also provides a quick-release fastener 10 for adjusting the angular position of the support surface 6 relative to the rod assembly 3. The integration of the joint assembly 3 into the locking device 8 provides a type of articulated lock 9, which also allows for suitable adjustment.

[0095] Unlike the previously shown embodiments, no stabilizing element 11 is provided here. Without such a stabilizing element, the load-bearing capacity or the set angular position cannot withstand as much stress as in the previously shown embodiments.

[0096] In all previously shown embodiments, the head section 2 can preferably be provided detachably from the rod assembly together with the locking device 8. This allows, among other things, space-saving storage and improved transportability. Furthermore, a mounting support 1 according to the invention can then be produced from a conventional mounting support by means of a set or a retrofit set comprising a head section 2 and a locking device 8.
