[0001] DESCRIPTION

[0002] Wall mount for holding an object on a wall

[0003] The invention relates to a wall mount for holding an object on a wall.

[0004] Corresponding wall brackets for holding an object to a wall are basically known from the prior art. For example, it is known to attach a mirror or a picture to a wall using a nail or a screw fastened to the wall with a dowel. Mirrors, for example, are attached to a wall using two fixing points, e.g., two screws. To carry out this attachment in a tiled bathroom, for example, a first screw can usually be inserted into a joint between two tiles in the wall. However, the second screw usually requires drilling through a tile due to the fixed spacing for the screws dictated by the object to be attached. This carries the risk of damage (e.g., cracking) to the tile during the drilling process.

[0005] The invention is based on the object of providing a wall mount which enables simple and quick mounting of an object on a wall.

[0006] The object is achieved by a wall mount for holding an object on a wall according to claim 1. The dependent claims relate to possible embodiments of the wall mount. The object is further achieved by an arrangement according to claim 13 and by a method according to claim 14.

[0007] The invention relates to a wall mount for holding an object on a wall, comprising (a) a base body with at least one fastening structure for fastening the wall mount to a wall, and (b) at least two auxiliary bodies movably mounted on the base body, each having at least one holding structure for holding an object on the wall mount. The at least two holding structures are mounted on the base body via the auxiliary bodies so as to be movable relative to the fastening structure. Preferably, at least one auxiliary body, preferably all of the auxiliary bodies, are mounted on the base body so as to be exclusively linearly movable. Due to the movability of the auxiliary bodies on the base body, the holding structures arranged on the auxiliary bodies can be moved relative to the base body.The wall bracket is constructed in such a way that it is fixed to the wall at least in sections, preferably predominantly, particularly preferably exclusively, via the base body, and thus the object is carried via the holding structure to the auxiliary bodies and via the auxiliary bodies to the base body and via the base body to the wall. In other words, the base body forms the, in particular the only, interface between the wall bracket and preferably the object held on the wall bracket and the wall. The base body and the auxiliary body can, for example, be designed as rigid, i.e. not flexible, elements. The base body and auxiliary body can therefore, for example, be designed as rigid or dimensionally stable components. Because the components are designed as rigid or dimensionally stable components, the wall bracket is insensitive to fluctuations, i.e., e.g.An air flow flowing past the wall mount cannot cause movement of the wall mount and / or the object held on the wall mount. A rigid or dimensionally stable design of the wall mount components can also simplify the installation of the wall mount and the installation of the object on the wall mount. The fastening structure can serve for the force-fitting and / or form-fitting connection of the base body and / or the at least one auxiliary body to a wall. For example, the fastening structure can be designed as an eyelet for the passage of a fastening means.

[0008] The wall mount described herein enables an object to be attached to a wall. The wall can be a room wall or a wall of any object, e.g., a wall of a cupboard, a shelf, or other piece of furniture. The wall can also be a flat, at least substantially, preferably exclusively, vertical wall section of a mobile object, e.g., a vehicle.

[0009] It is possible for at least one holding structure, in particular for all holding structures of the wall mount to be connected or connectable to the object by means of a force-fitting and / or form-fitting and / or material-fitting connection. For example, all holding structures of the wall mount can be of the same type or identical design with regard to their interface to the auxiliary bodies and / or with regard to their interface to the object, so that each connection of a holding structure to the auxiliary bodies of the wall mount or each connection of a holding structure to the object is based on the same connection principle (e.g. force-fitting, form-fitting or material-fitting) and / or has a similar or identical, i.e., a corresponding, geometry. The object can also be attached to the holding structure additionally or exclusively by means of magnetic forces.

[0010] It is possible for at least one holding structure, in particular for all holding structures of the wall mount, to be designed as a hook means for hooking into at least one hook receptacle of the object. For example, an object can have at least two hook receptacles, into each of which a hook on the wall mount side is hooked during normal operation of the wall mount. The fastening principle can also be reversed, at least partially, in particular entirely, so that hook means on the object can be received or are hooked into hook receptacles on the wall mount side, i.e., for example, the wall mount comprises a hole or recess for receiving a hook formed or arranged in or on the object. The holding structure can, for example, have a hook profile, e.g., a flat hook, which engages beneath a frame of an object to be attached to the wall, e.g., a stretcher frame.The support structure may have a standardized and / or standardized design so that objects adapted to this standardized and / or standardized design can be connected to the wall bracket.

[0011] The at least one holding structure, in particular all of the holding structures of the wall mount, can be, for example, detachably attachable to the auxiliary bodies or are attached in such a way. Thus, the holding structure, in particular a holding body comprising the holding structure, can be detachably connected to the auxiliary bodies without the use of tools and / or without destruction. For example, the holding structure is designed as a projection, preferably as a hook, and is configured to engage with a counterstructure of the object. The holding structure can comprise a holding portion, for example, provided with a hook, and a connecting portion corresponding to the receptacle on the auxiliary body side.

[0012] The holding structure, i.e., a connecting portion of the holding body of the holding structure, can be received in a receptacle on the auxiliary body side. The receptacle can be designed as a receiving shaft into which the holding body comprising the holding structure can be received by a rotational and / or linear movement. Preferably, an opening of the auxiliary body-side receptacle points upwards or above a horizontal line in an intermediate and / or final assembly state, so that the holding structure or the holding body, in the final assembly state of the wall bracket, is held in the receptacles of the auxiliary bodies in a manner that is captively secured by gravity or prevents it from falling out.Advantageously, during the suspension of an object on the support structure, the support structure is positioned in an end position of the receptacle of the at least one auxiliary body, which accommodates the support structure, due to a tensile force acting on the wall mount due to the weight of the object itself, in such a way that accidental movement of the support structure out of the receptacle is prevented. In other words, a tensile force acts by suspending the object in the direction of the joining direction of the support structure in a receptacle on the auxiliary body side.

[0013] It is possible to provide at least two groups of holding structures or two groups of holding bodies having different holding structures. This makes it possible for the type of holding of an object on the wall mount to be changed, in particular to be adapted to the circumstances of the object, by alternately arranging the respective group of holding structures, in particular holding bodies having different holding structures. For example, a first group of holding structures can have a first type of hook for holding a first object, and a second group of holding structures can have a second hook which is different from the first type of hook and is designed to hold a second object. The type of hook in the respective group of holding structures can differ in its material and / or its load-bearing capacity and / or its geometric shape. The joining direction orA main extension line of a movement path for attaching a support structure to or in an auxiliary body can, for example, be aligned at an angle of + / - 90° to 0°, preferably + / - 45° to 0°, particularly preferably + / - 25° to 0°, to the direction of movement of the auxiliary body. The joining direction for the support structures can, for example, form a joining movement that is at least partially, preferably predominantly, particularly preferably entirely, non-linear relative to the respective auxiliary bodies.

[0014] It may prove expedient if at least one holding structure, in particular all of the holding structures, is connected in a locking manner to the auxiliary body, in particular to the respective auxiliary bodies. For example, at least one holding structure, in particular all of the holding structures, can be connected in a locking manner to the auxiliary body(s) by the application of force. In particular, locking can be enabled which provides a locking resistance which does not return to its basic state, at least automatically. In other words, at least two structural regions of the holding structure and the auxiliary body form a locking mechanism such that when a force is applied which causes a deformation region to deform, the at least two structural regions can be brought into positive engagement with one another, for example in the manner of a locking, snap-in, or clip connection.

[0015] It is possible for the at least two auxiliary bodies to be mounted, in particular exclusively, for linear movement in or on the base body. In other words, the auxiliary bodies are mounted for movement in or on the base body in such a way that they execute a rectilinear movement at least in sections, preferably predominantly, particularly preferably entirely, over their path of movement. It is possible for the rectilinear movement of the auxiliary bodies to occur parallel to the horizontal after the wall bracket has been properly mounted on a wall, in particular of the base body on a wall. The base body can, for example, have guide means which, in particular exclusively, enable linear movement of the auxiliary bodies relative to the base body. For this purpose, the base body has, for example, guide rails for the linear movement of the auxiliary bodies.It may prove expedient to provide a movement-limiting device in addition to the guide means. For example, a pin is moved within a slotted hole, with at least one end position of a pin-slotted hole contact limiting the movement from the auxiliary body to the base body. Such a movement-limiting device can optionally additionally perform a function that supports the guidance of the auxiliary body and the base body.

[0016] The position and / or orientation of at least one auxiliary body, preferably of all auxiliary bodies, can be displayed, for example, relative to the base body by means of a display device. A display device can, for example, comprise a scale, wherein the display is made by reading display information or scale information describing the position and / or orientation of at least one auxiliary body relative to the base body. For example, the scale can be read in conjunction with a housing edge or a housing marking as a reference point. A scale can be formed on each of the two auxiliary bodies movably mounted on the base body, thus enabling the setting of a similar extension or a similar relative position of the two auxiliary bodies relative to the base body.This is particularly advantageous when, for hanging an object, a predefined relative positioning of the at least two holding structures for fastening the object to each other and to the at least one base body-side fixing point to a wall requires or is desired.

[0017] The at least two auxiliary bodies can, for example, be coupled to the base body via a control mechanism in such a way that the two auxiliary bodies, at least partially, in particular completely, assume predefined positions relative to the base body during their movement relative to the base body in the manner of a forced control. The forced control here predetermines, by means of a mechanism, defined positions of the two auxiliary bodies relative to the base body. In other words, the forced control mechanism can ensure that the distances of the auxiliary bodies from a point on the base body change in a predefined ratio, in particular in a constant or predefined changing ratio, during the movement of the auxiliary bodies relative to the base body.This prevents a first auxiliary body from being at a first distance from the base body and a second auxiliary body from being at a second distance from the base body, which are undesirable. The positive control mechanism prevents undesirable ratios of the first to the second distance. This can prove particularly useful if the base body has at least one defined point, in particular only one point, for connection to the wall, so that due to the positive control, equilibrium can be maintained at the attachment point despite changes in the distances of the auxiliary bodies to the attachment point of the wall bracket on the wall and thus despite changes in the distances of the holding structures to this attachment point.Consequently, it is possible in a simple manner to change the distance of the support structures to the point of attachment of the base body to the wall and at the same time to maintain or achieve a balanced force effect of the object on the wall mount or on the point of attachment of the base body to the wall.

[0018] The control mechanism can, for example, control the mobility of the auxiliary bodies relative to the base body such that a center of gravity of the wall mount relative to a longitudinal extension of the wall mount changes by a maximum of 15%, preferably by a maximum of 10%, particularly preferably by a maximum of 5%, most preferably not at all. This allows a change in the position of the center of gravity along the longitudinal extension to be prevented or limited to a limited extent despite a change in the distance of the support structures from the base body.

[0019] It is possible for at least one counterweight to be attachable to the wall mount so that its position and / or orientation can be changed. A counterweight can, for example, be a mass body which is attached to an auxiliary body and / or to a base body in order to compensate for any imbalance of an assembly formed from the object to be suspended and the wall mount relative to at least one, in particular to a single, attachment point attaching the wall mount to a wall, preferably by means of a force-fitting and / or form-fitting connection. A counterweight can, for example, be connected in or to the wall mount and / or in or to an object to be suspended by means of a force-fitting and / or form-fitting and / or material-fitting connection. The counterweight can, for example, be selected from a group of counterweights having different masses.It is possible for scale information readable on the wall mount regarding the positioning of the at least one auxiliary body relative to the base body to be linked to selection information for selecting a defined counterweight for mounting it on the wall mount and / or on the object to be supported by the wall mount. Thus, it can be provided that the scale information indicates which counterweight from a group of counterweights with different masses is to be attached to the wall mount and / or where on the wall mount.

[0020] The control mechanism can, for example, comprise a tooth flank surface on each of the auxiliary bodies and a gearwheel that meshes with the tooth flank surfaces of the auxiliary bodies and is rotatably mounted on the base body. Due to the engagement of the gearwheel, which is in particular rotatably mounted exclusively relative to the base body, with the tooth flank surfaces of the auxiliary bodies, a predefined mobility of the auxiliary bodies relative to the base body can be enabled by designing the configuration of the gearwheel and the tooth flank surfaces. The tooth flank surfaces formed or arranged on the auxiliary body side can, for example, be designed as rack-like elements and thus have a rectilinear main extension axis. A first main extension axis of a tooth flank surface of a first auxiliary body is preferably aligned parallel to a second main extension axis of a tooth flank surface of a second auxiliary body.The tooth flank surface refers to the zigzag (surface) surface formed by a plurality of teeth. It is possible for the gear and / or at least one tooth flank surface to be designed as an involute, cycloid, or conchoid toothing.

[0021] The fastening structure can, for example, be designed as an interface for fastening the wall bracket to a wall by means of a fastening means, in particular by means of a nail or a screw. The fastening structure can, for example, form a receiving channel or an eyelet for the passage of a fastening means, e.g. a nail or a screw, for fastening the wall bracket to the wall. In general, the fastening structure on the wall bracket side can enable a force-fitting and / or form-fitting and / or material-fitting fastening of the wall bracket to a wall. It is thus possible for the fastening structure to comprise a magnet or a magnetizable means by means of which the wall bracket can be fastened to the wall due to magnetic forces. Alternatively or additionally, the fastening structure on the wall bracket side can be designed as a suction means, e.g.as a suction cup, so that the wall mount can be pressed or attached to a smooth surface due to negative pressure. This makes it possible to attach the base body to smooth wall tiles using suction cups, whereby the wall mount allows two attachment points on the object to be mapped to a single attachment point, namely the one suction cup of the base body to the wall.

[0022] Alternatively or additionally, the base body can be or is fastened by means of a hook and loop fastening, i.e. the engagement of a hook and loop fastening element (e.g. barb element) with a wall having a hook and loop fastening element counterpart (e.g. loop counter element).

[0023] The fastening structure can, for example, (a) be arranged or formed as an interface that is arranged or formed centrally over the longitudinal extent of the base body, in particular exclusively, and / or (b) be arranged or formed as interfaces that are arranged or formed, in particular exclusively, on both sides of a center of a longitudinal extent of the base body and at the same distance from the center. It is possible for the fastening structure of the base body to be designed such that it is arranged or formed at the center of gravity of the base body and / or at the center of gravity of an assembly comprising the base body and the auxiliary bodies, or symmetrically to this center of gravity. By being arranged centrally to the longitudinal extent, it is possible for these fastening points to run on a vertical line in the case of an interface comprising several fastening points, so that, for example,When attaching the wall bracket to a tiled surface, the vertically running attachment points can be aligned in line with a joint in the tiled surface.

[0024] It is possible to provide a clamping and / or locking device which acts in a clamping or locking manner on a movement of at least one auxiliary body, in particular all of the auxiliary bodies, relative to the base body. In this case, the locking mechanism can be designed, in particular exclusively, as a mechanism acting directly between the two auxiliary bodies. For example, a locking finger formed on a first auxiliary body engages directly on a counter-locking structure formed on the second auxiliary body. Alternatively or additionally, to form a clamping and / or locking device, a locking finger of a first auxiliary body can engage or act, in particular directly, on a tooth flank surface of the second auxiliary body and / or on a pinion arranged between the two auxiliary bodies.Thus, in the event of engagement of the locking finger in the tooth flank surface, this tooth flank surface can have a dual function, on the one hand as a component of a locking device and on the other hand as a component of a forced movement mechanism.

[0025] In addition to the method, the invention also relates to an arrangement comprising a wall bracket described herein and a leveling device described herein. The leveling device can have a connection interface by means of which the leveling device can be connected to the wall bracket in a predefined position and alignment with the wall bracket, in particular in a force-fitting and / or form-fitting manner. The connection between the connection interface on the leveling device side and the wall bracket can preferably be designed such that it can bear at least the dead weight of the wall bracket. In other words, it is possible to carry or hold the wall bracket by holding the leveling device. Thus, by holding the leveling device, the wall bracket can be conveniently attached to a wall and aligned and, if necessary,during a mounting step that attaches the wall mount to a wall. After the wall mount has been aligned and / or secured to the wall (e.g., after screwing it to the wall), the connection between the wall mount and the leveling device can be separated. The leveling device is then available for use in attaching another wall mount described herein.

[0026] Handling can be improved if the leveling device has a handle that projects perpendicularly to its main plane of extension. By holding the leveling device by this handle, the leveling device, when connected to the wall bracket, can be easily attached to a wall and aligned. In particular, by holding the wall bracket and leveling device with one hand, their alignment can be carried out and a mark can be made on the wall with the other hand (e.g. using a pen) and / or a fastener that fastens the wall bracket to the wall can be inserted into the wall with the other hand. The leveling device can, for example, comprise a spirit level that is detachably or permanently arranged or formed in or on the leveling device.

[0027] Furthermore, the invention relates to a method for mounting an object on a wall using a wall mount described herein and / or using an arrangement described herein.

[0028] The base body can, for example, have a cuboid basic shape. The main extension axis of the base body can, for example, run or be aligned parallel to the main extension axis of at least one, in particular both, auxiliary bodies. The base body can, for example, describe or define a volume, wherein the auxiliary bodies are arranged with their longitudinal extension in the contracted state, at least in sections, preferably predominantly, particularly preferably entirely, within the volume of the base body. The base body can, for example, be designed as a body having at least one at least partially, in particular completely, closed wall or as a body having at least one at least partially, in particular completely, a lattice-like wall. Preferably, all walls of the base body are designed as closed walls or as lattice-like walls.

[0029] End sections on the auxiliary body side can have a flush transition with the base body in their contracted state on at least one surface, preferably on all surfaces.

[0030] The base body can define a receiving space within which the auxiliary body, preferably a predominant section of the auxiliary body, is received at least in sections. The base body can have an elongated cuboid shape, wherein a first auxiliary body is arranged on a first end face of the base body and a second auxiliary body is arranged on an end face of the base body opposite the first end face of the base body. The auxiliary bodies can preferably be moved into or out of the receiving space of the base body through an opening in the latter that is assigned to the respective end face. The end faces of the base body are, for example, the short side faces that are aligned perpendicular to the wall when the base body is properly fastened to the wall. The base body and / or the auxiliary body can, for example, have a rectangular cross-sectional shape. The wall bracket is, for example, designed orIntended for mounting on a substantially vertically oriented wall. The axes of movement of the first and second auxiliary bodies can be aligned parallel to each other. Preferably, the axes of movement of the at least two auxiliary bodies coincide in their projection. It is possible for the axes of movement of the at least two auxiliary bodies to coincide within the space, i.e., viewed three-dimensionally.

[0031] It is possible for a connecting section on the holding structure side of at least one holding structure to be designed such that it can only be inserted into the auxiliary body-side receptacle in a predefined orientation. For this purpose, the connecting section to be received in the receptacle can have a conical shape or a shape that tapers towards its end facing the receptacle. For example, the connecting section on the holding structure side is wedge-like or wedge-shaped. The receptacle can have an opening on two side surfaces; for example, a first side opening serves to insert the connecting section on the holding structure side, wherein a second opening (second side opening) running laterally to the movement path for inserting the connecting section on the holding structure side serves to receive the hook element arranged or formed on the connecting section.The hook element passes through the second side opening while the holding structure is moved into the auxiliary body-side receptacle.

[0032] It is possible for a hook element on the support structure to be designed to be variable, in particular adjustable, in its extension perpendicular to the main extension plane of the wall mount. Thus, the hook element can be designed depending on or adapted to the design of the object and thus be variable at least in its length perpendicular to the main extension plane of the wall mount and / or perpendicular to the main extension plane of the wall when the wall mount is properly arranged on the wall. For example, it can be adapted to different widths of a picture frame, e.g., a stretcher frame.

[0033] It is possible for the fastening structure to comprise a single interface, in particular a single fastening point, for attaching the wall mount to a wall. This provides the advantage that only a single fixing to the wall needs to be carried out. For example, if the wall is tiled, a single hole is sufficient, e.g., at an intersection point of the tiled joints, to attach the object to the wall using the wall mount. This makes it possible for the wall mount to be connected or fixed to the wall using a single fastening means, e.g., a screw and / or a nail and / or a suction cup.

[0034] The fastening structure preferably comprises a single interface, in particular a single fastening point, for the force-fitting and / or form-fitting fastening of the wall bracket to a wall. This means, for example, that the wall bracket is fastened to the wall via a single force-fitting and / or form-fitting connection or via a single fastening point forming a force-fitting and / or form-fitting connection. Optionally, in addition to the single force-fitting and / or form-fitting connection, a further connection can be provided by means of a material-fitting connection, e.g. by means of an adhesive. It is thus possible for the material-fitting connection or the adhesive to pre-fix and / or prevent rotation of the wall bracket, and for the more resilient connection of the wall bracket to be achieved by means of the, in particular, single, force-fitting and / or material-fitting connection.

[0035] As an alternative to a single fastening point, it can be provided, for example, that the fastening structure comprises at least two fastening points or two fastening interfaces for fastening the wall bracket to a wall, wherein the at least two fastening points lie on a common straight line or on a straight line, wherein the line is aligned perpendicular to a main extension axis of the wall bracket and / or a base body and / or at least one auxiliary body. Typically, tile backsplashes have joints between the individual tiles that form a straight grid. The joints run horizontally and vertically. By optionally designing the wall bracket in such a way that it has at least two fastening points running on a straight line, these fastening points can be fixed in line with a straight joint on the wall.Optionally, the straight line of the at least two fastening points is aligned vertically in the final assembly state, so that a main extension axis of the wall bracket and / or the base body and / or the at least one auxiliary body has a horizontal orientation.

[0036] The wall mount can, for example, have an adapter, wherein the adapter has a receiving section for the non-positive and / or positive and / or material-locking reception of the base body and a fastening section. The fastening section serves for the non-positive and / or positive and / or material-locking fastening of the adapter to a wall. Preferably, the base body is connected or fastened or can be fastened to a wall exclusively via the adapter. It is possible for the adapter to be connectable to a wall via a, in particular single, non-positive or positive connection. Optionally, in addition to the, in particular single, non-positive or positive connection, the adapter can be connectable or be connected to the wall via a material-locking connection (e.g. by means of adhesive).

[0037] All advantages, details, designs and / or features of the wall mount according to the invention are transferable or applicable to the arrangement according to the invention and to the method according to the invention and vice versa.

[0067] It can be seen that the base body 4 has a recess designed as an elongated hole 25, alternatively as a longitudinal groove (not shown) for receiving a counter-element designed or arranged on at least one auxiliary body 6, 7, e.g. in the form of a pin 26. As can be seen in Figures 1 and 2, the elongated hole 25 and pin 26 act as a movement limiter, in particular as an end position limiter, for the movement 14 of the auxiliary bodies 6, 7 relative to one another and / or for the movement 14 of at least one auxiliary body 6, 7, in particular all auxiliary bodies 6, 7 of a wall bracket 1, relative to the base body 4.

[0068] At least one holding structure 8, 9, in particular all of the holding structures 8, 9 of the wall mount 1, can be connected or connectable to the object 2 by means of a force-fitting and / or form-fitting and / or material-fitting connection. Figures 3 and 4 show how an object 2 is connected to the wall mount 1 by means of a fastening designed as a hook means 10 and, via the fixation of the wall mount 1, to a wall 3 by means of a fastening means 18. For this purpose, the fastening means 18 can be designed, for example, as a screw which is screwed into a wall 3 provided with a dowel (not shown), wherein the screw is passed through an eyelet 30 on the wall mount side.

[0069] At least one holding structure 8, 9, in particular all holding structures 8, 9 of the wall bracket 1, can be designed as hook means 10 for hooking into at least one hook receptacle 11 of the object 2.

[0070] At least one holding structure 8, 9, in particular all of the holding structures 8, 9 of the wall mount 1, can be detachably fastened in or on the auxiliary bodies 6, 7. As shown by way of example in Figure 8, an auxiliary body 6, 7 can have a receptacle 31 into which the holding structure 8, 9 can be inserted. For example, the holding structure 8, 9 has a holding or hook section 28 having a hook and a connecting section 27 provided for reception in the auxiliary body-side receptacle 31. The connecting section 27 of the holding structure 8, 9 can have a shape that tapers towards the lower end so that, for example, a clamping connection can be created. The tapered shape of the connecting section 27 of the holding structure 8, 9 can also interact with a corresponding shape of the auxiliary body-side receptacle 31 in a centering manner during the joining and / or in a clamping manner at least in the end position.

[0071] The at least two auxiliary bodies 6, 7 can, for example, in particular exclusively, be mounted in or on the base body 4 for linear movement, see Figures 1, 2 and 5. From this it can be seen that the auxiliary bodies 7, 8 are mounted in a linear movement within the base body 8 via rail-like guide sections of the base body 4. In this case, the base body 4, viewed in cross-section (see Figure 5), defines or delimits an interior space within which the two auxiliary bodies 7, 8 are at least partially, preferably predominantly, received. Furthermore, a gear 17 is rotatably mounted in this interior space, in particular on the base body 4. At least one auxiliary body 7, 8, preferably both auxiliary bodies 7, 8 can describe an L-shaped form in cross-section, wherein the second auxiliary body 8 and / or a gear 17 is or can be arranged in the surface section of the first auxiliary body 7 defined in cross-section by the two L-legs.The second auxiliary body 8 can accommodate the gear 17 at least partially in the surface section defined by its two L-legs in cross-section, see Figure 5. The gear 17 can, for example, have a bearing pin formed integrally with the gear 17, which is rotatably received in a bearing recess of the base body 4, see Figure 5.

[0072] The position and / or orientation of at least one auxiliary body 6, 7, preferably all auxiliary bodies 6, 7, can be displayed, for example, relative to the base body 4 by means of a display device 12. The display device 12 can thus provide the user of the wall mount 1, for example by means of a scale 32, with information regarding the position and / or orientation of at least one auxiliary body 6, 7 relative to the base body 4. For example, a scale 32 is arranged or formed in the region of the elongated hole 25, wherein the relative position of the pin 26 to the scale 32 can provide an indication of the extent to which the at least one auxiliary body 6, 7 is pulled out, cf. Figure 10. Since in the illustrated embodiment both auxiliary bodies 6, 7 can be displayed by means of a

[0073] Since the two auxiliary bodies 7 are each coupled by a constraint mechanism in their mobility relative to the base body 4, a statement can also be made about the relative position of the second auxiliary body 7 relative to the base body 4 and / or relative to the first auxiliary body 6 by reading a scale value for the position of a pin 26 which is attached or assigned exclusively to a single auxiliary body 6. The scale 32 can relate to a numerical value, e.g. distance values. Alternatively or additionally, the scale value can provide an indication of an object 2 to be attached to the wall bracket 1 and / or the type and / or nature of the object 2 to be attached. A user of the wall bracket 1 can therefore, depending on the object 2 to be held by means of the wall bracket 1 and / or its nature, position the wall bracket 1 in a defined manner and visually indicated by the scale 32 orcarry out movement of the auxiliary body(s) 6, 7 towards the base body 4, supported by a marking.

[0074] The at least two auxiliary bodies 6, 7 can, for example, be coupled to the base body 4 via a control mechanism 13 in such a way that the two auxiliary bodies 6, 7, at least partially, in particular completely, assume predefined positions relative to the base body 4 during their movement 14 relative to the base body 4 in the manner of a forced control. In other words, the control mechanism 13 ensures that the at least two auxiliary bodies 6, 7 can only assume defined distances from the base body 4.

[0075] In this case, the control mechanism 13 can, for example, control the mobility or the movement 14 of the auxiliary bodies 6, 7 relative to the base body 4 in such a way that a center of gravity of the wall bracket 1 related to a longitudinal extent of the wall bracket 1 changes by a maximum of 15%, preferably by a maximum of 10%, particularly preferably by a maximum of 5%, most preferably not at all, if there is a displacement or a pulling out or moving in of the auxiliary bodies 6, 7 relative to the base body 4.

[0076] Alternatively or additionally, the control mechanism 13 can comprise a tooth flank surface 15, 16 on each of the auxiliary bodies 6, 7 and a gear 17 that meshes with the tooth flank surfaces 15, 16 of the auxiliary bodies 6, 7 and is rotatably mounted on the base body 4. In the embodiment shown in Figure 2, the meshing of the gear 17 with the tooth flank surfaces 15, 16 and the mounting of the gear 17 in or on the base body 4 results in a positive control of the movement of the auxiliary bodies 6, 7 relative to the base body 4.

[0077] The fastening structure 5 can be designed, for example, as an interface for fastening the wall mount 1 to a wall 3 by means of a fastening means 18, in particular by means of a nail or a screw. The fastening structure 5 can serve as a passage arranged or formed in the center 19 of the base body 4, e.g., an eyelet 30, for receiving a fastening means 18, e.g., a screw.

[0078] The fastening structure 5 can, for example, be arranged or formed (a) as an interface arranged or formed centrally along the longitudinal extent of the base body 4 and / or (b) arranged or formed as interfaces (not shown) on both sides of a center 19 of a longitudinal extent of the base body 4 and at the same distance from the center 19. In other words, interfaces, e.g., eyelets 30, can be arranged or formed, for example, mirror-symmetrically, in particular mirror-symmetrically to the center 19 of the base body 4. Thus, the base body 4 can be fixed to the wall 3 by means of more than one fastening means 18.

[0079] As can be seen in Figures 2 and 6, for example, a clamping and / or locking device 22 can be provided, which acts in a clamping or locking manner on a movement 14 of at least one auxiliary body 6, 7 relative to the base body 4. The clamping and / or locking device 22 can thus lock the mobility of at least one auxiliary body 6, 7 relative to a base body 4 or allow it to be carried out only after a predefined holding force has been overcome. For this purpose, a locking finger 20 can protrude into the spaces between the tooth flank surfaces 15, 16 of an auxiliary body 6, 7 in a locking manner.

[0080] For example, the locking finger 20 is assigned to a first auxiliary body 6, in particular, it is formed as a uniform component of the material of the first auxiliary body 6. This locking finger 20 can interact with the tooth flank surface 16 of the second auxiliary body 7 or engage in its interstices. Thus, the tooth flank surface 16 of the second auxiliary body 7 can have a dual function: (a) meshing with the gear 17 and (b) interacting with the locking finger 20.

[0081] Figures 9 and 10 show an arrangement comprising a wall mount 1 described herein and a leveling device 23. The leveling device 23 can have a connection interface 24, by means of which the leveling device 23 can be connected to the wall mount 1 in a predefined position and orientation relative to the wall mount 1, in particular in a force-fitting and / or form-fitting manner. For this purpose, the wall mount 1 can have a mating connection interface 21, which corresponds to the connection interface 24 of the leveling device 23. When the connection interface 23 and the mating connection interface 21 are connected, this connection can be designed such that the wall mount 1 can be supported by holding the leveling device 23.In other words, the connection between leveling device 23 and wall mount 1 is designed such that it can bear at least the dead weight of wall mount 1 without the connection being broken. For example, this can be made possible by a force-fitting and / or form-fitting connection, e.g., a snap-lock connection. The leveling device 23 can, for example, comprise a spirit level 33 detachably or permanently attached to a base support of the leveling device 23. The connection interface between wall mount 1 and leveling device 23 can, for example, be designed such that wall mount 1 and leveling device 23 can only be assembled in a defined, single orientation relative to one another.Preferably, the leveling device 23 and the wall bracket 1 can be assembled, in particular exclusively, in such a way that the longitudinal axis of a spirit level 33 on the leveling device side and the longitudinal axis of at least one auxiliary body 6, 7 and / or at least one base body 4 are aligned parallel to one another.

[0082] The invention also relates to a method for mounting an object 2 on a wall 3 using a wall mount 1 described herein and / or using an arrangement described herein. For example, the method may provide that, in a first method step, the leveling device 23 is connected to the wall mount 1. The wall mount 1, together with the leveling device 23, can then be placed or positioned against the wall 3. It may prove expedient for the leveling device 23 to have a handle 29 by means of which the leveling device 23, and in particular a wall mount 1 connected to the leveling device 23, can be carried or handled.After the leveling device 23 and wall bracket 1 have been attached to the wall 3 and the wall bracket 1 has been leveled, the wall bracket 1 can be fastened by means of a fastening means 18, e.g., a screw, which is guided through the eyelet 30 and connected to the wall 3. After the wall bracket 1 has been fastened to the wall 3 by means of the fastening means 18, the leveling device 23 can be detached from the wall bracket 1. Finally, at least one auxiliary body 6, 7, in particular both auxiliary bodies 6, 7, can be moved relative to the base body 4 in order to adapt the distance between the first and second holding structures 8, 9, in particular the hook means 10, to the requirements for connecting an object 2 to the wall bracket 1. The movement or adjustment of the auxiliary bodies 6, 7 relative to the base body 4 can take place before and / or during and / or after the wall bracket 1 is fastened to the wall 3.

[0083] Preferably, the fastening structure 5 of the wall bracket 1 has a single interface or a single fastening point for fastening the wall bracket 1 to a wall 3, cf. Figures 1 to 4, 9, 15 to 17. The single interface or the single fastening point is designed as an eyelet 30.

[0084] Figures 11 to 13 show further optional embodiments of holding structures 8, 9. The holding structure 8 shown in Figure 11 has a support section 34, designed in particular as a support surface. A counterstructure of an object 2 to be fastened to the wall mount 1 can be placed on this support section 34, in particular resting due to gravity. In particular, the support section 34 and the counterstructure of the object 2 have corresponding contact surfaces. A support plane of a support section 34 can, for example, be aligned at right angles to an insertion or insertion movement axis of the connecting section 27 of the auxiliary body 6, 7 assigned to the support section 34. It is possible for at least one holding structure 8, 9 to be configured to establish a connection with an object 2 by means of magnetic forces.For this purpose, the at least one holding structure 8, 9 can be equipped with or comprise at least one magnet. The holding structure 8, 9 can, for example, hold the object 3 exclusively by means of magnetic forces. Alternatively, the holding structure 8, 9 can hold an object 3 by means of magnetic forces and additionally by means of a positive connection.

[0085] In Figure 12, the holding structure 8, 9 has a hook means 10 having a mushroom-shaped shape. In particular, a central axis and / or an axis of symmetry of the hook means 10 is aligned perpendicular to a central longitudinal axis and / or a main extension axis of the wall bracket 1 and / or the base body 4 and / or the auxiliary bodies 6, 7 in the final assembly state of the holding structure 8, 9 on the auxiliary body 6, 7.

[0086] It is possible for at least one holding structure 8, 9 to be designed as a recess or at least to comprise such a recess and to be configured to receive an object-side engagement means, wherein the engagement means is attached directly or indirectly to the object 2 to be attached to the wall 3 by means of the wall mount 1, cf. Figure 13.

[0087] It is possible for a holding device 36 to be fastened in the receptacles 31 of the auxiliary bodies 6, 7, wherein the holding device 36 has at least two holding structures 8, 9. The distance between the holding structures 8, 9 of the holding device 36 is preferably fixed or variable. In the final assembled state of the holding device 38, at least two holding structures 8, 9 present on the holding device side are attached or received in the receptacles 31 of the auxiliary bodies 6, 7. The holding device 36 can, for example, have a receiving recess 37 into which an object 2 to be fastened to the wall 3 by means of the wall bracket 1 can be fastened. For example, the object is a plant pot (not shown), wherein the receiving recess 37 is dimensioned such that a plant pot can be received or held therein in a form-fitting manner.The main extension plane of the recess 37 can, for example, be aligned at right angles to the main extension plane of the wall 3 and / or the wall bracket 1 in the final assembly state.

[0088] Figures 14 to 18 show adapters 38, each comprising a receiving section 48, in or to which a base body 4 can be connected in a force-fitting and / or form-fitting manner; in particular, the base body 4 is detachably or non-detachably connected to the adapter 38. For example, the receiving section 48 encompasses the base body 4 at least in sections on at least two sides, preferably at least in sections on at least three sides. The surface of the adapter 38 delimiting the receiving section 48 can, for example, be provided with a locking lug for locking with a corresponding structure of the base body 4. Preferably, the at least partial encompassing of the base body 4 serves to ensure a defined alignment of the base body 4 and the adapter 38. A centering and / or alignment structure can be present or provided integrally or additionally on the base body 4 and the adapter 38.which specifies a predefined alignment and positioning of the base body 4 and adapter 38 during the assembly of the base body 4 and adapter 38. The base body 4 and adapter 38 can be fixed, for example, by means of gluing and / or by means of a snap-lock connection.

[0089] Furthermore, the adapter 38 can have at least one fastening eyelet 39 for the passage of a fastening means 18. In Figure 14, the adapter 38 has two fastening eyes 39, 39'; preferably, the at least two fastening eyes 39, 39' are aligned perpendicular to a main extension axis of the wall bracket 1 and / or the base body 4 and / or the first and / or second auxiliary body 6, 7. When the wall bracket 1 is used as intended, the fastening eyes 39, 39' can lie on a vertically running line. This ensures that, when the wall bracket 1 is attached to a tiled surface, the fastening means 18 each guided through the fastening eyes 39, 39' can each be attached in a joint of the tiled surface in the wall 3. In other words, the fastening structure 5 can, for example, have at least two fastening points orcomprise two fastening interfaces for fastening the wall bracket 1 to a wall 3, wherein the at least two fastening points lie on a common straight line 52, wherein the line 52 is oriented perpendicular to a main extension axis of the wall bracket 1 and / or the base body 4 and / or at least one auxiliary body 6, 7, cf. Figure 14.

[0090] Furthermore, an adhesive receiving space 40 can be seen in Figure 14. This adhesive receiving space 40 is arranged or formed, for example, on the side of the adapter 38 facing the wall 3, in particular the main extension surface. Adhesive (not shown) can be arranged in the adhesive receiving space 40, which enables a materially bonded connection of the adapter 38 to the wall 3. It is possible for the adhesive receiving space 40 to have at least one passage opening 41, 41, which creates a fluid-transmitting connection between the adhesive receiving space 40 and a surface of the base body 4 and / or between the adhesive receiving space 40 and an upward, downward and / or laterally facing surface of the adapter 38.For example, the at least one through-opening 41, 41' opens into a surface of the adapter 38 which, in the final assembly state, is at least partially, preferably predominantly, particularly preferably completely, covered and / or touched by the base body 4. This surface of the adapter 38 is visible in Figure 17.

[0091] The adapter 38 comprises a fastening section 53 for fixing the adapter 38 to a wall 3, the fastening section 53 can be designed as an adhesive receiving space 40 and / or as at least one fastening eyelet 39, 39'.

[0092] It is possible for the adapter 38 to have an anti-twist means (not shown) on its surface facing the wall 3. The anti-twist means can, for example, comprise at least one needle or at least one point, wherein the needle and / or point rests against or penetrates the wall surface in the final assembled state of the adapter and in this way forms an anti-twist means of the adapter on the wall surface. The actual attachment of the adapter 38 can, for example, be effected by means of a fastening means 18 and / or by means of an adhesive, wherein for this purpose the anti-twist means forms a structure between the adapter 38 and the wall 3 that essentially ensures anti-twist.

[0093] For example, at least two through-openings 41, 41' are provided, so that a first through-opening 41 can serve to introduce adhesive from the outside into the adhesive receiving space 40, and the second through-opening 41' can function as a pressure equalization opening. The second through-opening 41' can also indicate the state when sufficient adhesive has been introduced into the adhesive receiving space 40 via the first through-opening 41, since excess adhesive can be seen and / or escaped from the second through-opening 41'.

[0094] Optionally, the adhesive receiving space 40 has a different volume or a different cross-sectional area along its longitudinal extent. In particular, the cross-sectional area of ​​the adhesive receiving space 40 can have an increased passage area along its longitudinal extent, starting from a first passage opening 41 to a second passage opening 41', see arrow 42. More preferably, starting from a section with an enlarged passage area (see arrow 42), the passage area can be reduced further along the longitudinal extent toward the second passage opening 41', see Figure 15.

[0095] In the embodiment according to Figure 15, both the adapter 38 and the base body 4 each have an eyelet, i.e., eyelet 30 or fastening eyelet 39, 39'. A fastening means 18 can be passed through or engaged with these two eyelets in order to fix the wall mount 1 to the wall 3. Additionally, the adapter 38 can be provided with an adhesive surface (not shown) on its side facing the wall, so that the adapter 38 can be used to secure the wall mount 1 against rotation on the wall.

[0096] Figure 18 shows an adapter 38 which, instead of a fastening eyelet 39, 39', comprises a fastening protrusion, in particular a fastening pin 43, wherein the fastening protrusion or the fastening pin 43 is designed at least to engage with a fastening structure 5 on the base body side, for example, an eyelet 30 of the base body 4, which can optionally be used to pass through a fastening means 19 for fastening the base body 4 (without adapter 38) to a wall 3. Thus, the eyelet 30 of the base body 4 can fulfill a dual function: on the one hand, as a receiving eyelet for the fastening means 19 when the base body 4 is fastened directly to a wall 3 by means of the fastening means 19, and on the other hand, when the base body 4 is fixed to the wall 3 by means of the adapter 38, this receiving eyelet of the base body 4 can serve to receive the fastening pin 43.

[0097] If the adapter 38 has a fastening protrusion, e.g., a fastening pin 43, at least two possible arrangements or uses of the leveling device 23 are possible. For example, the leveling device 23 has at least one fastening area 44, particularly designed as a receiving opening 45, 45', for temporarily fastening the leveling device 23 to the base body 4 and / or to the adapter 38. When the leveling device 23 and the base body 4 and / or adapter 38 are fastened, the base body 4 or the adapter 38 can be leveled using the spirit level 33.

[0098] In the embodiment shown in Figures 19 to 22, the leveling device 23 has a base body 49 having a first receiving opening 45 and a further receiving opening 45'. As can be seen in Figure 20, the first receiving opening 45 can be configured to encompass a fastening structure 5 of the base body 4, at least in part. It is possible for the base body-side receiving opening 45, together with a section of the base body 4, in particular with a structure of the base body 4 that externally delimits the fastening structure 5, to serve as a centering and / or guide and optionally additionally as a force-fitting and / or form-fitting fixation of the base body 49 and the base body 4. For this purpose, the leveling device 23 can be arranged in a first position relative to the adapter 38, as shown in Figure 20.

[0099] Figure 22 shows a second position of the leveling device 23 relative to the adapter 38. For this purpose, a further interface of the adapter 38, e.g., a further receiving opening 45', is connected to a fastening protrusion on the adapter side, in particular to a fastening pin 43 of the adapter 38. This connection can, for example, be made in such a way that no relative rotation is possible when the leveling device 23 and adapter 38 are assembled. For this purpose, for example, at least one contact section 46, 46' that at least partially delimits a first receiving opening 45 and / or at least one contact section 46, 46' that directly adjoins the first receiving opening 45 can come into contact with a counter-contact section 50, 50' of the adapter 38.According to the embodiment shown in Figure 22, the base body 49 has two contact sections 46, 46' spaced apart from one another, which, in the assembled state of the leveling device 23 and adapter 38, are in contact with two counter-contact sections 50, 50' of the adapter 38 in order to prevent a relative rotation of the leveling device 23 and adapter 38.

[0100] It is possible for a connecting recess 51, in particular a straight one, to extend in the base body 49 at least from the first receiving opening 45 to the second receiving opening 45'. This connecting recess 51 can establish or support an elastic behavior of at least one region delimiting a receiving opening 45, 45'. In particular, the connecting recess can enable a clip function at a receiving opening 45, 45' by deliberately weakening the structure of the base body 49.

[0101] Figure 24 shows a fixing device 47, which holds an object 2 to be fixed to a wall 3 via the wall mount 1 in a captive manner and so that it cannot be accidentally released. In other words, the fixing device 47 can enable a positive and / or force-fitting fastening of an object 2 to the base body 4 and / or to the at least one auxiliary body 6, 7 and / or to the at least one adapter 38 in such a way that the object 2 cannot be released without influencing the fixing device 47. For example, the fixing device 47 is attached at one end to the base body 4 and / or to at least one auxiliary body 6, 7 and / or to at least one adapter 38 and at the other end is in contact with the object 2 to be fastened.It is possible for the fixing device 47 to comprise a prestressing means (not shown) and / or to be elastically deformable such that the fixing device 47 applies a contact force to the object. Alternatively or additionally, the fixing device 47 is designed such that, together with the holding structure 8, 9, it encompasses the object 2 to be fastened over at least three sides. Optionally, the fixing device 47 can be detachably, i.e., non-destructively detachable, fastened to the base body 4 and / or to at least one auxiliary body 6, 7 and / or to at least one holding structure 8, 9.
