TRANSLATION ROTATION FITTING AND FURNITURE OR APPLIANCE ELEMENT

Description

[0001] The present invention relates to a translational-rotational fitting according to the preamble of claim 1 and to a furniture or household appliance element.

[0002] Translational-rotational fittings of the type known, for example, from DE 10 2019 109 866 A1 or WO 2006 / 039729 A1, which serve the simultaneous translational and rotational movement of a first body relative to a second body, for example in the form of a shelf incorporated into a furniture carcass, have proven their worth in practice. Such translational-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 translation-rotation fitting in its mounting plane, which can be relatively complex in the case of direct mounting on the first furniture carcass, depending on the progress of the furniture assembly, as individual components may have to be disassembled before alignment.

[0004] The object of the present invention is to provide a translational-rotational fitting with which alignment in the horizontal plane is made possible in a simple manner even after installation, and to provide an easily adjustable furniture or household appliance element with such a translational-rotational fitting.

[0005] The tasks set out are solved with a translational-rotation fitting having the features of claim 1 or 2 and with a furniture or household appliance element having the features of claim 14.

[0006] A translational-rotational fitting according to the invention for the at least partially forced simultaneous translational-rotational movement of a first body relative to a second body in one of two possible opposite directions of rotation and in a predetermined translational direction comprises a first fitting part coupled to the first body and a second fitting part coupled to the second body, which is simultaneously translationally and rotationally movable relative to the first fitting part.

[0007] On the first fitting part, at least one adjustment arrangement, operable with an auxiliary tool, is arranged for the independent alignment of the first fitting part relative to the first body in at least one of two mutually perpendicular adjustment directions in the plane of the plane spanned by the translation direction and the rotation directions by a limited adjustment dimension.

[0008] According to a first embodiment, the first and second fitting components are designed as fitting plates. For simultaneous translational and rotational movement, the fitting plates each have grooves in their facing bearing surfaces, in which rolling elements are guided.

[0009] According to a second embodiment, a guide element is arranged on the first fitting part for simultaneous translational-rotational movement, which is movable in a curved guide track arranged on or in the second fitting part.

[0010] With such an adjustment arrangement on the translation-rotation fitting, it is possible in a simple way to align the translation-rotation fitting between the first and second bodies in the horizontal plane.

[0011] Furthermore, the adjustment mechanism also allows for easy adjustment of the aperture gap.

[0012] Advantageous embodiments of such an adjustment arrangement are specified in the dependent claims.

[0013] According to a preferred embodiment, the adjustment arrangement of the translational-rotational fitting comprises a base plate arranged on the first body and a support plate arranged on the first fitting part.

[0014] According to a preferred embodiment, the adjustment arrangement comprises a first slide which is slidably held in a recess of the base plate in the second adjustment direction and a second slide which is coupled to the first slide and is slidably arranged relative to the base plate in the first adjustment direction.

[0015] A first lever, fixed but pivotable with the first slider, for adjusting the carrier plate relative to the base plate in the first positioning direction, and a second lever, fixed but pivotable with the base plate, for adjusting the carrier plate relative to the base plate in the second positioning direction, are also part of this preferred further development of the adjustment arrangement.

[0016] The adjustment arrangement further comprises several guide pins fixed to the second slide, which extend through elongated holes in the base plate extending in the second adjustment direction to elongated holes in the support plate extending in the first adjustment direction, wherein the first lever and the second lever have a receptacle for inserting and / or fixing the auxiliary tool.

[0017] According to a further preferred embodiment, the first lever can be locked to the first slide by means of a detent element and the second lever can be locked to the base plate by means of a detent element to lock the adjusting arrangement.

[0018] According to a preferred embodiment, each detent element is spring-mounted in the area of ​​the respective receptacle of the first and second levers, so that the detent element is pressed or pulled into a detent position without external force.

[0019] In a preferred embodiment, detent teeth are formed on the first slide and in an area of ​​the base plate where the receptacle of the second lever for inserting the auxiliary tool is positioned, which can be engaged with detent teeth of a detent strip of the detent element, wherein the detent strip is out of engagement with the detent teeth when the auxiliary tool is inserted into the receptacle of the first or second lever.

[0020] This allows the locking mechanism of the respective lever to be easily released by inserting the auxiliary tool when adjustment is intended.

[0021] In an alternative embodiment of the translational-rotational fitting according to the invention, the adjustment arrangement comprises an intermediate plate arranged between the base plate and the carrier plate, as well as two base holders attached to the base plate, each of which slidably receives a sliding element in one of the positioning directions. The carrier plate is slidably held on the intermediate plate in a first positioning direction, and the intermediate plate is slidably held on the base plate in a second positioning direction.

[0022] The sliding elements have a receptacle for inserting and / or fixing the auxiliary tool, wherein the sliding element received in the first base holder is fixedly coupled to the intermediate plate or the support plate and the sliding element received in the second base holder is fixedly coupled to the other of the intermediate plate or the support plate.

[0023] Such an alternatively designed adjustment arrangement also allows for the simple alignment of the second object coupled to the carrier plate.

[0024] In a preferred embodiment of this adjustment arrangement, the sliding elements have at least one web oriented perpendicular to the intended adjustment direction, which projects positively into a web receptacle of the intermediate plate or the support plate.

[0025] This allows, in a simple way, the intermediate plate (together with the support plate) to be moved relative to the base plate, or the support plate to be moved relative to the intermediate plate, by moving the sliding element.

[0026] In this version of the adjustment arrangement, the sliding elements have a clamping rib that projects into a clamping device received in the respective base holder in order to lock a preset position of the carrier plate.

[0027] This allows for stepless adjustment of the adjustment arrangement.

[0028] In a preferred embodiment, each of the clamping devices has two ball carriers, each with a ball held in them, which are slidably held in a respective recess of the base holder in the respective positioning direction.

[0029] The balls are each mounted in a conical section of the respective recess and can be moved by shifting the ball carriers from a clamping position that clamps the clamping bridge of the respective sliding element to a release position that does not clamp the clamping bridge of the respective sliding element, in which the balls release the clamping bridge.

[0030] According to another alternative design variant, the clamping of the sliding elements can be designed such that the sliding elements can be clamped to the base holder by means of a clamping element.

[0031] The clamping element is held in a clamping element receptacle of the base holder so as to be displaceable in the positioning direction, with the sliding element pressing against a friction edge of the base holder in a direction perpendicular to the positioning direction.

[0032] In this version, the sliding element must therefore be advanced a short distance perpendicular to the direction of movement in the insertion direction using the auxiliary tool in order to release the clamping by the clamping element and then carry out the sliding movement in the desired positioning direction in this advanced position.

[0033] According to an alternative embodiment, each of the clamping devices has two clamping body carriers, each with a clamping body held in them, which are slidably held in a respective recess of the base holder in the respective positioning direction, wherein the clamping bodies are each mounted in a conical section of the respective recess and can be moved by sliding the clamping body carriers from a clamping position that clamps the clamping web of the respective sliding element to a release position that does not clamp the clamping web of the respective sliding element.

[0034] The clamping elements are preferably designed as cylinders, rollers, sliding pieces or wedges.

[0035] In another preferred embodiment, the auxiliary tool has an actuating tongue that can be inserted into the receptacles of the first or second lever.

[0036] In a first preferred embodiment, the actuating tongue of the auxiliary tool, which is inserted into the respective receptacle, can be withdrawn from the respective receptacle again.

[0037] This allows the auxiliary tool to be easily removed from the fitting after it has been adjusted.

[0038] In an alternative design variant, the actuating tongue of the auxiliary tool, which is inserted into the respective receptacle, is fixed in the respective receptacle.

[0039] A particularly preferred variant is one in which the actuating tongue of the auxiliary tool is coupled to a handle via a folding mechanism.

[0040] This ensures that the tool is always readily available. Thanks to its folding mechanism, it can be easily folded away when not in use into a slot located between the top or bottom edge of a front or side panel of the second cabinet and the base or top of the first cabinet.

[0041] The furniture or household appliance element according to the invention has a first body and a second body movable relative to the first body, as well as a translational-rotational fitting with which the second body can be moved relative to the first body in a predetermined translational direction and simultaneously in one of two possible opposite directions of rotation.

[0042] The translational-rotational fitting is designed as described above.

[0043] Preferred embodiments of the invention are explained in more detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0045] In the following figure descriptions, terms such as top, bottom, left, right, front, back, etc., refer exclusively to the exemplary representation and position of the adjustment mechanism, body, translation-rotation fitting, base plate, support plate, slide, lever, and the like as chosen in the respective figures. These terms are not to be understood as restrictive; that is, these references may change due to different working positions, mirror-symmetrical design, or similar factors.

[0046] In the Figure 1 , 2a and 2b Reference numeral 1 denotes a furniture or household appliance element. This furniture or household appliance element 1 comprises a first body 2 with a base 21 and a top 22, and a second body 3 movable relative to this base, with the base 21 and the top of the first body 2 overlapping the second body 3.

[0047] Regarding the movement of the second corpus 3, in Fig. 3a Represented by a simple plate, a translational-rotational fitting 4 is provided between the first body 2 and the second body 3, relative to the first body 2. This fitting comprises a first fitting part 41 designed as a fitting plate, a second fitting part 42 also designed as a fitting plate, several rolling elements 44, and a rolling element cage 43 that holds the rolling elements 44 in a predetermined position relative to each other. Advantageously, the first fitting part 41 and the second fitting part 42 have raceways for the rolling elements.

[0048] Alternatively, the superimposed translational-rotational movement of the second corpus 3, in Fig. 3bAlso represented by a simple plate, relative to the first body 2, a translational-rotational fitting 4' is realized with a first fitting part 41, a second fitting part 42, a linear guide 45, a curved guide track 46, a guide element, and a swivel ring 47. A ball head or similar can also be used instead of the swivel ring 47. The first fitting part 41 is designed here in the form of retaining webs for two guide rails of the linear guide 45, on which running rails are slidable in the translational direction A. A plate-shaped design of the first fitting part 41, to which the guide rails are attached or integrally formed, is also conceivable. A linear guide 45 with only one or more than two guide rails is also conceivable.

[0049] Furthermore, as in Fig. 3a or Fig. 3bAs can be seen, an adjustment arrangement 100 or 200 is attached to the first body 2, the support plate 120 of which, as will be explained further below, is adjustable relative to a base plate 110 in a horizontal plane and can be fixed in place on the first fitting part 41 of the translational-rotation fitting 4, 4', in order to be able to align the translational-rotation fitting 4, 4' in the horizontal xy-plane after the adjustment arrangement 100 or 200 and the translational-rotation fitting 4, 4' have been mounted between the first body 2 and the second body 3. The adjustment in the horizontal xy-plane can be possible in the x-direction or in the y-direction; preferably, adjustment in both the x-direction and the y-direction is possible and is described below.

[0050] The translational-rotational fitting 4, 4' is characterized by the fact that the second body 3 is movable relative to the first body 2 in a partially forced, simultaneous translational-rotational movement relative to the first body 2, in one of two possible opposite directions of rotation R 1 , R 2 as well as in a predetermined translational direction A, as is also described by way of example in DE 10 2019 109 866 A1.

[0051] A first design variant of the alignment of the translational-rotational fitting 4, 4' in the xy-plane is shown in Fig. 4 shown in an exploded view.

[0052] As can be seen here, this first embodiment of the adjustment arrangement 100 has a base plate 110 that can be attached to the first body 2 and a support plate 120 that can be attached to the first fitting part 41 of the translation-rotation fitting 4, 4'.

[0053] The base plate 110 has a slide receptacle 111 in which a first slide 130 is received, which is held displaceable relative to the base plate 110 in the second positioning direction y.

[0054] Furthermore, a second slide 140 is provided, arranged on the base plate 110 and also displaceable in the second positioning direction y relative to the base plate 110. For guidance in the second positioning direction y, a guide cylinder 115 is arranged on the base plate 110, which projects into an elongated hole 146 extending in the second positioning direction y in the second slide 140.

[0055] This second slide 140 is essentially L-shaped, with a first leg 142 and a second leg 143, which is oriented approximately perpendicular to the first leg 142.

[0056] From the second leg 143, a tongue 144 extends approximately halfway along the length of the second leg 143, with a bore in which a pivot pin 131 of the first slide 130 is received, so that when the first slide 130 is moved in the second positioning direction y, the second slide 140 moves along with it.

[0057] The adjustment arrangement 100 further comprises a first lever 150, which is fixedly but pivotably coupled to the first slide 130, for adjusting the support plate 120 relative to the base plate 110 in the first adjustment direction x, and a second lever 160, which is fixedly but pivotably coupled to the base plate 110, for adjusting the support plate 120 relative to the base plate 110 in the second adjustment direction y.

[0058] On the second slide 140, several fixed guide bolts 180 are attached in bores 147 provided for this purpose, which extend through elongated holes 112 of the base plate 110 extending in the second positioning direction y to elongated holes 122 of the support plate 120 extending in the first positioning direction x.

[0059] The first lever 150 and the second lever 160 each have a receptacle 151, 161 for inserting and / or fixing an auxiliary tool 9.

[0060] The auxiliary tool 9 is designed as a flat component and has a handle 92 and an actuating tongue 91. This allows the auxiliary tool 9 to be used as described in the Figures 2a and 2b is shown by a connection between an upper or lower edge of a front or side panel 31 of the second body 3 and a base 21 or a top 22 of the first body 2 in a position in the Figure 1 , 2a and 2bThe remaining slot 5 can be inserted in the shown closed position of the second body 3, thus making the adjustment arrangement 100 accessible in every position of the second body and in particular in the closed position of the second body.

[0061] A horizontal alignment of the second body 3 relative to the first body 2 in the closed position is particularly advantageous, as it allows for the adjustment of a joint pattern in the closed position of the furniture or household appliance element 1 without having to dismantle or move any parts for access. Furthermore, it is advantageous to be able to immediately verify whether the adjustment has achieved the desired result.

[0062] In the inserted state of the respective auxiliary tool 9, the longitudinal side edges of an actuating tongue 91, which can be inserted into the receptacles 151, 161, are aligned parallel to the side walls of the receptacle 151, 161, as shown by way of example in Fig. 8 as can be seen. In the preferred embodiment according to Fig. 4-14 These side edges of the actuating tongue 91 lie against the side edges of a detent element 170, which serves to lock the adjusting arrangement 100, i.e. the first lever 150 and the second lever 160.

[0063] The locking elements 170 are inserted into the receptacle 151, 161 of the first lever 150 and the second lever 160 respectively.

[0064] To adjust the carrier plate 120 in the first positioning direction x or the second positioning direction y, the levers 150, 160 are rotated around their respective pivot point using the auxiliary tools.

[0065] The pivot point of the first lever 150 is the pivot pin 131 of the first slide 130, which protrudes into a pin receptacle 153 in the area of ​​one end of the first lever 150 furthest from the receptacle 151.

[0066] The pivot point of the second lever 160 is a pivot pin 114, which is molded onto the base plate 110.

[0067] To adjust the carrier plate 120 in the first positioning direction x, a drive lug 121 projects from the carrier plate 120 through an elongated hole 132 extending in the first positioning direction x in the first slide 130 to an elongated hole 152 of the first lever 150 extending in the second positioning direction y and an elongated hole 145 in the second slide 140.

[0068] In the assembled state, the side edges of this drive lug 121 rest against the longitudinal side edges of the elongated hole 152 of the first lever 150, so that by pivoting the first lever 150, the elongated hole 152 shifts in the first adjustment direction and thereby moves the drive lug 121 and thus the carrier plate 120 in the first adjustment direction x.

[0069] What's next in Fig. 4 As can be seen, a drive lug 141 protrudes from the second slide 140 into an elongated hole 162 of the second lever 160 extending in the first positioning direction x.

[0070] Accordingly, when the second lever 160 pivots over the drive rib 141, whose side edges rest against the longitudinal side edges of the elongated hole 162 of the first lever 160, the second slide 140 is also moved in the second positioning direction y (relative to the base plate 110).

[0071] The locking elements 170 are provided to lock the adjustment arrangement 100 in a desired position.

[0072] Each locking element 170 is fixed in place in the area of ​​the respective receptacle 151, 161 of the first and second lever 150, 160.

[0073] To lock the levers 150, 160 in a predetermined position, locking teeth 113, 133 are formed on the first slide 130 and in an area of ​​the base plate 110 where the receptacle 161 of the second lever 160 is positioned for inserting the auxiliary tool 9. These locking teeth can be engaged with locking teeth of a locking strip 171 of the locking element 170.

[0074] The detent bar 171 is disengaged from the detent teeth 113, 133, the base plate 110 or the first slider 130 when the auxiliary tool 9 is inserted into the receptacle 151, 161 of the first or second lever 150, 160.

[0075] In the position inserted into the receptacle 151, 161, the actuating tongue 91 of the auxiliary tool 9 pushes the detent bar 171 of the respective detent element 170 out of the plane of the detent teeth 113, 133.

[0076] Figure 5 Figure 1 shows an example of an adjustment arrangement 100 attached to a first body 2, in which one of two auxiliary tools 9 is inserted into one of the receptacles 151, 161 of the first or second lever 150, 160.

[0077] The position of the guide pins 180 in the elongated holes 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 central position of the auxiliary tool 9.

[0078] Instead of auxiliary tools 9, which can be inserted into the designated receptacles 151, 161 as required, the actuating tongues 91 of the auxiliary tools 9 are in an alternative design variant, as shown in the Figures 5a and 5b shown, permanently attached in photographs 151 and 161.

[0079] In this embodiment, the auxiliary tool 9 is designed with a handle 92 that can be folded relative to the actuating tongue 91. For this purpose, the handle 92 is connected to the actuating tongue 91, which is permanently mounted in the respective receptacle 151, 161, via a folding mechanism 93.

[0080] This makes it possible to fold the handle 92 into slot 5 when not in use, as shown in Figure 5b As shown. To operate the auxiliary tool 9, in order to gain access to the handle 92, the second furniture part can preferably be slightly pushed or twisted relative to the first furniture part 2.

[0081] Alternatively, it is also conceivable to additionally equip the folding mechanism with a push-to-open mechanism, so that, if necessary, by pressing the side edge of the handle 92 near the outer edge of the first body 2 further into the slot 5, the handle 92 can be released from the in Figure 5b shown position in the Figure 5a The position shown unfolds to allow adjustment of the first fitting part 41.

[0082] Figure 8 Figure 1 shows an example of an adjusted position of the support plate 120 by pivoting the second lever 160, which is accompanied by a displacement of the support plate 120 in the second positioning direction y.

[0083] The Figures 9 to 14 further different adjustment positions of the carrier plate 120 relative to the base plate 110 and their activation by actuating the corresponding levers 150, 160.

[0084] An alternative preferred embodiment of an adjustment arrangement according to the invention is described in the Figures 15 to 25 depicted.

[0085] As shown in particular in the exploded views according to Figure 17 and 18 As shown, this version of the adjustment arrangement 200 also has a base plate 210 that can be attached to the first body 2 and a support plate 220 that can be attached to the second body 3.

[0086] In contrast to the Figures 1 to 14 In the adjustment arrangement 100 shown, this adjustment arrangement 200 has an intermediate plate 230 arranged between the base plate 210 and the support plate 220 to allow displacement in the two adjustment directions x, y.

[0087] The intermediate plate 230 thus enables, on the one hand, an adjustment of the carrier plate 220 relative to the intermediate plate 230 and, on the other hand, an adjustment of the intermediate plate 230 relative to the base plate 210, in which the carrier plate 220 is moved together with the intermediate plate 230.

[0088] As in the Figure 15 , 17 and 18 As can be further seen, the adjustment arrangement 200 has two base holders 240, 250 attached to the base plate 210, in each of which a sliding element 260 is slidably received in one of the positioning directions x, y in a sliding element receptacle 241.

[0089] The carrier plate 220 is slidably held on the intermediate plate 230 in a first positioning direction x, while the intermediate plate 230 is slidably held on the base plate 210 in a second positioning direction y. For the slidable mounting of the carrier plate 220 on the intermediate plate 230 in the first positioning direction x, as shown in the Figure 15 and 17 As shown, elongated holes 221 extending in the first positioning direction x are provided, into which bolts 201 with a mushroom head and attached to the intermediate plate 230 are received.

[0090] Accordingly, the base holders 240, 250 have bolts 246, 256 on their side facing the intermediate plate 230, which are received in elongated holes 231 of the intermediate plate 230, which extend in the second positioning direction y, in order not to impede a displacement of the intermediate plate in the second positioning direction relative to the base plate 210.

[0091] The sliding elements 260, similar to the levers 150, 160 or the locking element 170 of the first version variant, have a receptacle 261 for inserting the auxiliary tool 9.

[0092] The sliding element 260, which is held in the first base holder 240, is fixedly connected to the intermediate plate 230, and the sliding element 260, which is held in the second base holder 250, is fixedly coupled to the support plate 220.

[0093] This makes it possible that moving the respective sliding element 260 results in a movement of the intermediate plate 230 or the support plate 220.

[0094] For the stationary fixing of the sliding elements 260 to the intermediate plate 230 or the support plate 220, the sliding elements 260 have at least one, in the illustrated embodiment two, web or webs 262 oriented perpendicular to the intended positioning direction x, y, which protrude or protrude in a form-fitting manner in a web receptacle 222, 232 of the intermediate plate 230 or the support plate 220.

[0095] The web receptacles 222, 232 are designed as elongated recesses in the carrier plate 220 and the intermediate plate 230, respectively.

[0096] The web receptacles 232 of the intermediate plate 230 are, as in Figure 17 is shown, preferably molded in a slightly raised area 233 of the intermediate plate 230 compared to the rest of the surface of the intermediate plate 230, in order to lie in a recess 244 of the first base holder 240 in the assembled state, in which it is guided by side edges 245 of the recess 244 in the second positioning direction y.

[0097] The sliding elements 260 preferably have a clamping web 263 which projects into a clamping device 270 received in the respective base holder 240.

[0098] This clamping device 270 has two ball carriers 271, each holding a ball 272. Depending on the design, however, more than two balls 272 can also be arranged in one ball carrier 271.

[0099] The ball carriers 271, with the respective ball 272 fixed to the ball carrier 271, are slidably held in a respective recess 242, 252 of the base holder 240, 250 in the respective positioning direction x, y, as shown by way of example in Figure 18 based on the first basic holder 240.

[0100] One of the basic holders 240, 250, here the basic holder 250, is preferably designed in two parts, with a first part held on the base plate 210, into which a second part 255 can be inserted, wherein the recesses 252 are provided in the second part 255.

[0101] The balls 272 are each mounted in a conical section 243, 253 of the respective recess 242, 252 and can be moved by sliding the ball carriers 271 from a clamping position clamping the clamping web 263 of the respective sliding element 260 to a release position not clamping the clamping web 263 of the respective sliding element 260 by spring loading.

[0102] As particularly in Figure 18 as well as the Figures 21b , 22b , 23b , 24b and 25b As can be seen, the ball supports 271 are moved away from each other in the direction of the longitudinal extension of the clamping web 263 to release the clamping web 263.

[0103] The recesses 242, 252 of each of the base holders 240, 250 are formed in pairs and mirror-symmetrically to a central imaginary mirror axis oriented perpendicular to the longitudinal direction of the clamping bridge 263.

[0104] This arrangement of the recesses 242, 252 has the advantage that the ball carriers 271 can be moved from the clamping position to the release position by inserting the auxiliary tool 9 into the receptacle 261 of the sliding element 260, and after removing the auxiliary tool 9 from the receptacle 261 of the sliding element 260, they can be moved back from the release position to the clamping position by spring action.

[0105] Regarding spring loading, as in Figure 18 As shown by way of example, spring elements 273, in particular in the form of compression springs, are provided which are received in receptacles provided for this purpose in the ball carriers 271 and are supported firstly on an inner wall within the receptacle of the ball carrier 271 and secondly on a rear wall of the respective recess 242, 252 extending perpendicular to the direction of positioning x, y, so that the ball carriers 271 are always pressed into the clamping position by the force of the spring element 273.

[0106] In an alternative embodiment, it is also conceivable to use other clamping bodies with corresponding clamping body carriers instead of the ball carriers 271 with balls 272 contained therein.

[0107] The clamping elements to be used here could be, in particular, cylinders, rollers, sliding pieces or wedges, which are held in appropriately designed clamping element carriers.

[0108] Figure 19aThe figure shows a top view from below of the adjustment arrangement 200, in which one of the two auxiliary tools 9 is inserted into the receptacle 261 of one of the sliding elements 260.

[0109] The auxiliary tool 9 is positioned here in a neutral position in the sliding element 260, which is coupled to the intermediate plate 230, so that by pivoting the auxiliary tool 9 a displacement of the intermediate plate and with it of the carrier plate 220 takes place in the second positioning direction y, as can be seen in Figure 19b.

[0110] In a corresponding manner, it shows Figure 19c an exclusive adjustment of the carrier plate 220 in the direction x and Figure 19d shows an adjustment of the carrier plate 220 in the direction x and additionally an adjustment of the carrier plate 220 together with the intermediate plate 230 in the direction y.

[0111] What next in the Figures 20a and 20bAs shown, the ball carriers 271 of the clamping device 270 serve not only to hold the clamping balls 272 but also as a stop or pivot point for the auxiliary tool 9 used as a lever, in order to enable adjustment of the carrier plate 220 with as little effort as possible.

[0112] The ball carriers 271 have insertion ramps 274 to facilitate the insertion of the actuating tongue 91 of the auxiliary tool 9 and the sliding apart of the clamping devices 270 arranged in pairs.

[0113] The insertion ramps 274 are followed by an approximately circular segment-shaped pivot point area 275, on which side edges of the actuating tongue 91 abut and which form the pivot point when the auxiliary tool 9 is pivoted in the plane spanned by the positioning directions x, y, with which a displacement of the respective sliding element 260 and thus of the intermediate plate 230 and / or the support plate 220 is effected.

[0114] The Figures 21a , 21b to 25a , 25b illustrate the release of the sliding element 260 by the displacement of the ball carriers 271 and with these the balls 272 held by the ball carriers 271.

[0115] Figure 21a The figure shows the sliding element 260 in a neutral position before the intermediate plate is moved in the direction y or against the direction y, and the clamping device 270 consisting of the two ball carriers 271 in the clamping position, in which the clamping web 263 of the sliding element 260 is clamped by the balls 272 and thereby prevents an unintentional or accidental adjustment in or against the direction y.

[0116] Figure 21bFigure 1 shows a partial sectional view to illustrate the four balls 272 clamping the clamping bar 263, which are pushed forward by the spring elements 273 into the conical section 243, 253 of the respective recess 242, 252 so far that they clamp the clamping bar 263.

[0117] Figure 22a and 22b show the auxiliary tool 9 inserted into the receptacle 261 of the sliding element 260 in the neutral position.

[0118] As can be clearly seen here, the ball carriers 271 are moved into the release position by inserting the auxiliary tool 9.

[0119] How Figure 22b As can be seen, the balls 272 are moved into the further widened area of ​​the conical section 243, so that the clamping bridge 263 is no longer clamped by the balls 272 and does not hinder an intended sliding movement of the sliding element 260.

[0120] The Figures 23a and 23bshow a sliding element 260 shifted in the opposite direction to the positioning direction y.

[0121] How Figure 23b As can be seen, the balls 272 are still in the release position which does not clamp the clamping bridge 263.

[0122] The Figures 24a and 24b show one of the Figures 23a and 23b corresponding representation with sliding element 260 shifted in the direction y.

[0123] Figures 25a and 25b Figure 1 shows a sliding element 260 displaced in the direction y after removal of the auxiliary tool 9 from the receptacle 261 of the sliding element 260.

[0124] How in particular Figure 25b As can be seen, by removing the auxiliary tool 9, the balls 272 together with the ball carriers 271 have been pressed back into the clamping position by the spring force of the spring elements 273, in which the clamping bridge 263 is held in its current position.

[0125] In the Figures 26 to 31 An alternative design variant concerning the locking of the sliding element 260' is shown.

[0126] In this embodiment, the head 262' of the sliding element 260' projects into one of the recesses 231' of the intermediate plate 230' adapted in the intended positioning direction x, y, with the parallel side edges 263' of the head 262' of the sliding element 260' abutting the side edges of the intermediate plate 230.

[0127] Accordingly, the support plate 220 is also designed with a single bridge or head mount instead of the two bridge mounts (not shown further here).

[0128] The sliding element 260' is clamped here by a clamping element 280, as exemplified in Figure 27 is shown.

[0129] This clamping element 280 has a base body 281 located in a clamping element receptacle 241' of the base holder 240' extending in the positioning direction x, y, from which two curved arms 282 extend, at the ends of which clamping sleeves 283 are formed, which in the assembled state are positioned on both sides of the head 262' of the sliding element 260' and project into a groove 242' parallel to the clamping element receptacle 241' of the base holder 240'.

[0130] The clamping sleeves 283 are in the clamping position, as exemplified in Figure 28 shown, between a shoulder 266' of the sliding element 260' and conical clamping surfaces 232' outside the recess 231' of the intermediate plate 230', so that, with the help of the sliding element 260' and the clamping sleeves 283, a displacement of the intermediate plate 230 in the positioning direction x, y is prevented.

[0131] To release this clamping, as described in Figure 29As shown, by inserting the auxiliary tool 9, the sliding element 260 is pushed further into the recess of the intermediate plate 230' in a direction perpendicular to the intended positioning direction x, y.

[0132] This causes the clamping sleeves 283 to be pushed outwards from the shoulder 266' of the sliding element 260' over a chamfered area 264' and thus out of the clamping area between the side edge of the groove 242' of the base holder 240' and the conical clamping surfaces 232' that clamp the clamping sleeves 283 into a widened area in which the clamping sleeves 283 are pushed through the widened space between the side edge of the groove 242' of the base holder 240' and the conical clamping surfaces 232' that clamp the clamping sleeves 283, thereby releasing the clamping of the intermediate plate 230' and the sliding element 260'.

[0133] Figure 29 This already shows a sliding element 260' adjusted in the direction y.

[0134] Figure 30 shows a sliding element 260' adjusted in the opposite direction to the direction y and Figure 31 This shows accordingly Figure 30 displaced sliding element with the auxiliary tool removed, in which the sliding element 260' is pushed back into the clamping position by the spring force of the spring arms 282 of the clamping element 280.

[0135] The pivot points for the auxiliary tool 9 are formed here by the more closely spaced inner edges of the base holder 240'. Reference symbol list
