Description

[0001] Andreas Tertilt Assembly Device and Method for Mounting an Object Description The present invention relates to an assembly support comprising at least one head section, at least one rod assembly, and at least one connecting device, wherein the head section is received at a first end of the rod assembly by means of the connecting device, and wherein the head section is pivotally connected to the rod assembly in at least one axis by means of at least one hinge device. The present invention also relates to two methods for mounting objects with such an assembly support and a set for manufacturing such an assembly support. When mounting objects on a wall and / or ceiling, especially when working overhead and / or at heights inaccessible without a ladder, a single installer quickly reaches their limits.Especially when installing long elements like curtain rods or decorative moldings, or when mounting larger or bulky objects such as roller shutter boxes, a single installer often needs at least one extra hand to work safely and accurately. This would require a second person, who isn't always available and can also incur significant additional costs. When objects are to be mounted on the ceiling, for example, when installing suspended ceilings, Andreas Tertilt mounting supports can be used. These are clamped, for instance, between a drywall panel attached to a suspension system and the floor. However, these supports are not flexible, particularly when objects need to be mounted freely on a wall at a specific height. In such cases, a conventional mounting support cannot be used to clamp the object in place.It is therefore the object of the present invention to enable a user, such as an installer, to attach flexible objects to a wall and / or ceiling, particularly independently. This object is achieved by a mounting support with the features of claim 1, by the methods for mounting at least one object with the features of claims 23 and 24, and by a set with the features of claim 25. Preferred embodiments of the invention are the subject of the dependent claims. Further advantages and features of the present invention will become apparent from the general description and the description of the exemplary embodiment. The mounting support according to the invention comprises at least one head, at least one rod assembly, and at least one connecting device. The head is received in a first end of the rod assembly by means of the connecting device.Furthermore, the head section is pivotally connected to the rod assembly by means of at least one joint in at least one axis. The head section comprises at least one bearing surface and at least one contact surface, wherein the bearing surface and the contact surface are arranged at an angle to each other. The orientation of the contact surface and the bearing surface is jointly adjustable along the at least one axis by means of at least one locking device. In particular, the connecting device serves to ensure a stable connection between the rod assembly and the head section. The connecting device can, for example, and preferably, comprise a threaded section that can be screwed into the rod assembly.Furthermore, the connecting device may preferably have a connecting plate or another type of fastening on the side facing the head section, so that the head section can be connected to the connecting device. Depending on the design, the connection to the head section and / or to the rod assembly can also be achieved in other suitable ways. The joint device is particularly suitable and designed to pivotally displace the head section in at least one axis. For this purpose, for example, a swivel joint or a type of hinge may be provided, but the use of a type of ball joint is also possible, so that alignment in several planes can be provided or enabled. The fact that the support surface and the bearing surface are adjustable together along the at least one axis means in particular that the bearing surface and the support surface can be adjusted simultaneously.The supports are adjustable in an angular position along at least one axis in a single operation. The support surface and the contact surface are provided, in particular, by planar elements such as a sheet metal plate. In particular, at least the head section and preferably the locking device are designed to be removable, so that at least the head section and preferably also the locking device can be removed, for example, for transport, in order to enable the most compact storage or transport possible. In particular, if the head section and the locking device are designed to be detachable, they are also suitable, for example, as a set or retrofit set to further develop or convert conventional mounting supports into mounting supports according to the invention. The support surface preferably has a length ofThe support surface extends in a leaning position towards the wall by 5 cm or more, preferably by approximately 10 cm to 40 cm, particularly by 20 cm to 30 cm. Any suitable length can be used expediently. The support surface preferably has a width or extension in a leaning position parallel to the wall of 5 cm or more, preferably by approximately 10 cm to 40 cm, particularly by approximately 10 cm to 20 cm. The contact surface preferably has the same width, particularly in the case of a one-piece manufacturing of the support surface and contact surface. The contact surface preferably has a length of 5 cm or more, preferably by approximately 10 cm to 40 cm, particularly by 20 cm to 30 cm. Any other length or width or length range or width range of the contact surface or support surface can also be used expediently, depending on the application and design. The mounting support according to the invention offers many advantages. Because the mounting support orSince the head section comprises at least one support surface and at least one bearing surface, the mounting support according to the invention, unlike conventional mounting supports, also allows the mounting support to be used as a shelf for objects to be mounted, even if the mounting support is not clamped between two walls such as a ceiling and a floor. Conventional mounting supports must be clamped under tension between two components, for example a ceiling and a floor, to achieve their intended functionality. While this is also possible with the mounting support according to the invention, the mounting support according to the invention can also be leaned against a wall with its bearing surface, for example, thereby providing an upper shelf or bearing surface for objects to be mounted.This support surface for objects to be mounted can then be aligned at a desired angle, for example, so that the support surface is horizontally aligned and provides secure support for the object to be mounted. Particularly when using two mounting supports according to the invention, even an elongated or very long object can be placed on the support surfaces, leaving both hands free for further assembly. Thus, the mounting support according to the invention provides a kind of helping hand, enabling a user to mount or attach even larger or longer objects to a wall and / or ceiling on their own. Due to the locking mechanism, depending on the design, a significantly higher load-bearing capacity on the mounting surface is possible. The support can preferably be individually positioned to suit different construction situations without causing any structural problems.This allows long components in ceiling and wall areas to be precisely fitted by just one person, thanks to the tilting of the mounting platform or support surface, or the adjustment of the support angle. By placing the component on the mounting platform, the mounting bracket allows for precise positioning, marking, and installation, ideally down to the millimeter. Placing the component on the mounting platform allows the installer to focus solely on maintaining a secure footing on the ladder. Preferably, the support surface is positioned at least partially above the contact surface during intended use. This allows the component to be brought into contact with a wall. Preferably, the support surface and the contact surface are formed as a single unit. It is particularly advantageous for both the support surface and the contact surface to be provided by a single component.In particular, a suitably angled or bent sheet metal or a suitably shaped plate made of plastic and / or the like can be used. Generally, the choice of shape and material can be made in a suitable manner, as known in the prior art, depending on the requirements. The angle between the support surface and the contact surface is particularly preferably adjustable. In such a design, the support surface and the contact surface are connected to each other by a hinge, whereby a specific angular position can be fixed by appropriate means. For example, a bolted solution can be provided so that the angle between the support surface and the contact surface can be changed when a screw connection is loosened, and the angular position is fixed by tightening the screw connection. This allows for a particularly suitable and gentle placement of the mounting support.The headboard can be positioned against a wall. In advantageous embodiments, the contact surface includes at least one angle. This angle can, in particular, be a chamfer or a rounded Andreas Tertilt angle. A suitable radius can be provided to ensure particularly gentle contact between the headboard and the wall, regardless of the angle of the headboard relative to the wall. In advantageous embodiments, the transition between the support surface and the contact surface is rounded, at least in sections. Here, too, a suitable radius is particularly preferred for gentle contact between the headboard and the wall. In this way, the transition between the support surface and the contact surface can also come into contact with the wall, so that the transition is also considered part of the contact surface.Preferably, the hinge mechanism and the locking mechanism are designed as a single assembly, and in particular as a type of hinged closure. In such a configuration, the angular position of the support surface can be adjusted as desired, for example, by positioning the mounting support on the floor at a suitable distance from the wall and leaning its contact surface against the wall. If, for example, a horizontal orientation of the support surface is required, the corresponding angular position can be easily and simply adjusted using the locking mechanism or the hinged closure. In preferred embodiments, the hinge mechanism is encompassed by the connecting element. In such a configuration, the connecting element can, for example, be designed analogously to the hinged plate of a conventional mounting support. The head can be attached to such a plate.Depending on the design, the joint mechanism, the locking mechanism, and the connecting mechanism can also be designed as a single assembly or component. Andreas Tertilt. Particularly preferably, the locking mechanism includes at least one quick-release fastener or is designed as a quick-release fastener. A quick-release fastener is understood to mean, in particular, that a user can quickly, preferably easily, and especially without tools, adjust the angular position of the head or of the contact surface and the bearing surface. Preferably, the locking mechanism includes at least one stabilizing element. Such a stabilizing element serves, in particular, to stabilize the set angular position of the contact surface and the bearing surface, especially when larger forces and, in particular, larger weights act on or are applied to the head.In this way, depending on the design, a load-bearing capacity of the mounting surface or the contact surface is preferably not comparable. The stabilizing element is preferably pivotally mounted on the head and the rod assembly. In such a design, the locking device can be provided by at least one stabilizing element. A pivotally mounted connection of the stabilizing element to the contact surface is particularly preferred when attaching it to the head. Preferably, the stabilizing element is telescopically designed, and in particular, is made in at least two parts, the two parts of which are preferably movable and lockable relative to each other. This allows for necessary length compensation when adjusting the angular position along at least one plane. In such a design, three pivot points are provided.A pivot point allows the support surface and the contact surface to move in at least one plane, and two further pivot points secure the Andreas Tertilt stabilizing element or its two parts. To enable the adjustment of appropriate angles between the three ground points when repositioning the support surface, the previously described embodiment incorporates length compensation through the stabilizing element. In advantageous embodiments, the locking device comprises at least one fixing device slidably arranged on and / or along the rod assembly, with the stabilizing element pivotally mounted on the head and the fixing device. Such a fixing device can, for example, be sleeve-like and / or other components that are either attached to or movably mounted on the rod assembly.The fixing device can be designed, in particular, as a clamping device, so that the position of the stabilizing element along the rod assembly can be fixed. In this embodiment, three pivot points are also provided: the pivot point that movably mounts the support surface and the contact surface in one plane on the rod assembly, and the pivot points of the stabilizing element on the head and the fixing device. To adjust the necessary angles between the three pivot points so that the support surface is in the desired orientation, the distance between the pivot point of the fixing device and the pivot point of the joint device is changed. For this purpose, the fixing device is slidably mounted on and / or attached to the rod assembly. The fixing device preferably comprises at least two opposing spring assemblies.Each spring assembly serves to fix the sliding movement of the fixing device on Andreas Tertilt or on the rod assembly in one (opposite) direction. Each spring assembly preferably includes at least one operating element, such as a lever or a push button, to release the corresponding spring assembly or to allow sliding movement within the device. This enables a user to easily adjust the angular position of the support surface. In advantageous embodiments, the fixing device includes at least one rotary lock and / or at least one screw lock. The sliding movement of the fixing device along the rod assembly can also be achieved by means of a rotary lock. In this case, in particular, the fixing device can be clamped to the rod assembly by turning or opposing parts of the rotary lock.A screw closure can be secured by at least one screw. Advantageously, the securing device includes at least one spring-loaded locking mechanism. In such a spring-loaded locking mechanism, for example, the rod assembly can be guided by a U-shaped spring with corresponding openings, the ends of the spring or spring plate being accessible to a user. The locking device can then be released, for example, by moving the two ends of the spring plate towards each other or pressing them together. The rod assembly can then be moved within the openings of the spring plate. In advantageous embodiments, the securing device includes at least one wedge lock. By inserting at least one wedge, particularly from below, into the securing device, the downward movement of the locking device can be limited.Depending on the design, a wedge may be provided on the upper side. In advantageous embodiments, the support surface and the contact surface are movable relative to the rest of the head section and / or the connecting device. Preferably, at least one rail and / or another type of bearing may be provided so that the support surface can be moved relative to the rest of the head section and / or the connecting device in the direction of the plane in which the support surface is pivotable. In this way, the angular position between three pivot points can also be advantageously adjusted. Preferably, at least one retaining element is assigned to the support surface, at least temporarily. Such a retaining element may preferably be hinged and / or pluggable and / or otherwise connected to the support surface.Particularly if the retaining element is pluggable, the support surface can include at least one corresponding opening and / or a corresponding grid for insertion at specific positions. This design makes it possible, if necessary, for example in the case of angled mounting, for a retaining element to prevent an object to be mounted from slipping off an inclined support surface. It is particularly preferred that at least one spacer element is provided, which can be arranged at least temporarily on and / or attached to the support surface. Such a spacer element can, in particular, be hinged, pluggable, and / or otherwise connected to the support surface. In particular, the spacer element can also be provided by a retaining element. If the spacer element is designed to be plugged in, a grid with an opening can also be provided, as described above. If a spacer element is attached to or attached to the support surface, the spacer element can be used to secure the object to the support surface.Positioned on the support surface, the mounting support can be clamped between the floor and ceiling, for example, like a conventional mounting support. The spacer element creates a mounting plane between the support surface and the ceiling, a suspended ceiling, or other structural elements, such as a lintel. This allows objects to be placed on the support surface, eliminating the need for the user to hold the object during assembly. The rod assembly is designed as a telescopic rod or is length-adjustable. In particular, a telescopic rod of a type known in the prior art, such as those used in conventional mounting supports, can be provided. At least one spring-loaded pump feed or pumping mechanism can be provided to enable precise height adjustment, particularly down to the millimeter.Lowering can also be carried out with high precision. For example, even with an object placed on the support surface, the mounting height can be adjusted to the millimeter. Preferably, at least one foot is provided at a second end of the rod assembly, in particular a hinged one. This can be a design similar to that used in the prior art for mounting supports or as used in conventional mounting supports. The method according to the invention serves to mount at least one object on a wall and / or ceiling using a mounting support as previously described. The mounting support is leaned against a wall with its contact surface, and the support surface is (if necessary) aligned and locked in a desired orientation to allow an object to be placed on it in a suitable manner.The support surface can be adjusted, particularly before being placed against the wall or even when the mounting support is already leaning against the wall. Depending on the design, the desired orientation is typically a horizontal alignment of the support surface, allowing an object to be placed on it securely and stably. In particular, at least two mounting supports are used, enabling an object to be placed securely on both supports and, more importantly, aligned in a mounting position using both supports. Such a mounting support can be used, for example, for mounting curtain rods or roller shutter boxes. Other long or short objects can also be easily mounted using the mounting support according to the invention.The inventive method for mounting at least one object also offers the advantages already described for the inventive mounting support. A further inventive method serves to mount at least one object on a wall and / or ceiling using a mounting support as previously described, wherein the mounting support comprises at least one spacer device arranged on and / or at the support surface. The mounting support is then, for example, clamped or braced between a floor and a ceiling, creating a mounting plane between the support surface and the ceiling for supporting an object. The object according to the invention can then be easily and safely mounted by a user, as the user has both hands free for assembly. According to the invention, in such an embodiment with a spacer device, a mounting support is also available that comprises no contact surface, but only a support surface.Andreas Tertilt This method according to the invention also offers the advantages previously described for the assembly support according to the invention. The invention also provides a set for manufacturing an assembly support as previously described, wherein the set comprises at least one head and at least one locking device, as previously described for the assembly support according to the invention. In particular, a conventional or known assembly support can be converted into an assembly support according to the invention using such a set, or the functionality according to the invention can be retrofitted. The set according to the invention also offers the advantages previously described for the assembly support according to the invention. Further advantages and features of the present invention will become apparent from the exemplary embodiment, which is explained below with reference to the accompanying figures. The figures show: Fig.Fig. 1 A purely schematic representation of an embodiment of an assembly support according to the invention in a perspective view; Fig. 2 A purely schematic representation of an embodiment of an assembly support according to the invention in a side view; Fig. 3 A purely schematic representation of an embodiment of an assembly support according to the invention in a side view; Andreas Tertilt Fig. 4 A purely schematic representation of an embodiment of an assembly support according to the invention with a spacer element in a side view; Fig. 5 A purely schematic representation of an embodiment of an assembly support according to the invention in a side view; Fig. 6 A purely schematic representation of another embodiment of an assembly support according to the invention in a side view; Fig.Fig. 7 a purely schematic representation of another embodiment of an assembly support according to the invention in a side view; Fig. 8 a purely schematic representation of another embodiment of an assembly support according to the invention in a side view; Fig. 9 a purely schematic representation of an alternative embodiment of an assembly support according to the invention in a side view; Fig. 10 a purely schematic representation of a further embodiment of an assembly support according to the invention in a side view; Fig. 11 a purely schematic representation of another embodiment of an assembly support according to the invention in a side view; Andreas Tertilt Fig. 12 a purely schematic representation of another embodiment of an assembly support according to the invention in a side view; Fig.Figure 13 shows a purely schematic representation of an alternative embodiment of an assembly support according to the invention in a side view; and Figure 14 shows a purely schematic representation of another embodiment of an assembly support according to the invention in a side view. Figure 1 shows a purely schematic representation of an assembly support 1 according to the invention, which is suitable for carrying out the methods according to the invention. In the embodiment shown here, the structure of such an assembly support 1 is shown in a perspective view. It comprises a head section 2 and a rod assembly 3, which are connected to each other by means of a connecting device 4. In the embodiment shown, the rod assembly 3 is designed as a conventional telescopic rod 22, the length of which can be adjusted by means of a spring-loaded pump feed 26.The head section 2 can thus be positioned at a desired mounting height. The head section 2 is arranged at a first end 14 of the rod assembly 3, with a foot assembly 23 being provided at the second end 15 of the rod assembly 3. This foot assembly includes a pivotally mounted plate 27, ensuring that the foot assembly 23 always rests stably on the surface. According to the invention, the head section 2 comprises a support surface 6 and a contact surface 7, which are formed in one piece. The contact surface 7 can, for example, be leaned against a wall 200 if an object 100 is to be mounted on this wall or the ceiling 300 above it. This object 100 can then be placed on the support surface 6. In the illustrated embodiment, a suitable mounting height can then be set using the telescopic rod 22, either before or with the object 100 in place.According to the invention, regardless of the leaning angle of the mounting support 1 against a wall 200, the support surface 6 or its angular position can be adjusted in at least one plane via a hinge mechanism 5, so that the object 100 to be mounted rests securely on the support surface 6. It is particularly preferred that the support surface 6 is then oriented substantially horizontally. For mounting particularly longer components such as curtain rods or other long strips, roller shutter boxes, or the like, at least two such mounting supports 1 are used, which are leaned against a suitable wall and / or against adjacent and / or opposite walls at a suitable distance from each other. Figure 2 shows an embodiment of a mounting support 1 according to the invention in a side view, the embodiment shown here corresponding to the embodiment according to Figure 1.The structure of the mounting support 1 according to the invention is also shown here, with the connection of the head section 2 to the rod assembly 3 being shown in detail. Andreas Tertilt. It is shown that a connecting device 4 is arranged at the first end 14 of the rod assembly 3, wherein the connecting device is screwed into the rod assembly via a threaded rod. Other connections to the rod assembly can also be used effectively. The head section 2 is pivotally connected to the rod assembly 3 via the connecting device 4, with the pivot device 5 being integrated into the connecting device 4 in the illustrated embodiment. This makes it possible for the head section 2 or the support surface 6, together with the contact surface 7 manufactured here in one piece, to be adjusted in the angular position in at least one plane. So that the contact surface 6 is in the predetermined set orientation, or rather,To ensure that the angular position is fixed stably during assembly, a locking device 8 is provided, which in the embodiment shown here is designed as a quick-release fastener 10. The locking device 8 comprises a fixing device 16 and a stabilizing element 11. The stabilizing element 11 is pivotally mounted on the head part 2, specifically on the support surface 6 and on the fixing device 16. In the embodiment shown, the fixing device 16 is designed as a sleeve, or rather, it is guided over the rod assembly 3, allowing the fixing device 16 to be moved up and down on the rod assembly 3. Due to the pivotal connection of the stabilizing element 11, the angle of the support surface changes when the fixing device 16 is moved up and down.To ensure that the fixing device 16 only moves when desired, the fixing device 16 in embodiment 2 shown by Andreas Tertilt comprises opposing spring assemblies 17, 18, which prevent the fixing device 16 from moving in opposite directions. The movement of the fixing device 16 can be achieved by disengaging the spring assemblies 17, 18 from the rod assembly 3 by actuating the corresponding control element 28, thus allowing movement of the fixing device 16 in the desired direction. This simple method of releasing the fixing device 16 in a specific direction provides a quick-release mechanism 10. Furthermore, it is indicated that the length of the rod assembly 3 can be changed via the pump feed 26 of the telescopic rod 22.Figure 3 schematically illustrates that the mounting support 1 according to the invention can also be used like a conventional mounting support, for which purpose it is clamped or braced between the floor 400 and the ceiling 300 or between two components. Figure 4 schematically illustrates that a separate or foldable spacer element 25, provided with the support surface 6, can be arranged on and / or attached to the support surface 6, whereby the mounting support 1 is then clamped between a floor 400 and a ceiling 300 or between two components. This is one way to carry out the method according to the invention. By providing a spacer element 25, a mounting plane 500 is created between the support surface 6 and the ceiling 300, which again serves for the arrangement or support of components 100 to be mounted. Andreas Tertilt. Another method according to the invention using the mounting support 1 according to the invention is schematically illustrated in Figure 5.The embodiment of the mounting support 1 shown here corresponds to the embodiments already shown. In the inventive method described here, an object 100 is placed on the support surface 6 of the mounting support 1 for mounting on a wall 200 and / or ceiling 300. The left-hand view shows that the mounting support 1 is leaned against a wall 200 with the contact surface 7 of the head section 2. Unlike conventional mounting supports 1, the appropriately designed contact surface 7 or a correspondingly equipped head section 2 allows for secure contact with the wall 200 without the need for clamping the support between two components. The left-hand view shows that, after leaning against the wall 200, the contact surface 6 is arranged at a slight angle from the wall in the illustrated embodiment.To ensure that the object 100 rests securely and stably on the support surface 6, the support surface 6 is aligned horizontally before or after the object 100 is placed on it, either by means of the quick-release fastener 10 or by moving the fixing device 16 upwards along the rod assembly 3. Figure 6 shows a further embodiment of a mounting support 1 according to the invention, which corresponds in its basic structure to the embodiment shown previously. The embodiment shown here indicates that objects 100 can also be mounted on a wall 200 and / or ceiling 300, which, for secure support on the support surface 6, must be oriented at an angle rather than horizontally. This is also possible with the mounting support according to the invention, depending on the design. In particular, the stabilizing element 11 ensures very stable and reliable support in any orientation of the support surface 6.To prevent object 100 from slipping away in the illustrated embodiment, or in this case, from sliding down to the right, a hinged retaining element 24 is provided, which can be unfolded for this type of assembly. Depending on the design, the position of the retaining element 24 on the support surface 6 can also be adjusted. For example, it can also be pluggable instead of hinged, for which a corresponding grid can be provided on the support surface 6. Figure 7 shows again the embodiment according to Figure 2, here in a slightly inclined arrangement of the rod assembly 3 with a support surface 6 of the head part 2 angled relative to it, in an enlarged view, with the support surface 6 being horizontally oriented. The quick-release fastener 10 and the oppositely oriented spring assemblies 17, 18 are also shown here.Furthermore, it is shown that the contact surface 7 has an angle 34, which enables gentle contact between the contact surface 7 and the wall 200 relatively independently of the angle of the support surface 6. The transition between the contact surface 7 and the support surface 6 is also rounded to ensure gentle contact with the wall 200. This design of the support surface 6 and contact surface 7 is provided in all illustrated embodiments, but can also be designed differently depending on the embodiment. Figure 8 shows an alternative embodiment in which the locking device 8 comprises a fixing device 16 designed as a screw closure 30. A screw 33 is provided, which is guided through the fixing device 16 and, when screwed in, fixes the fixing direction 16 to the rod assembly 3.Figure 9 shows another embodiment of an assembly support according to the invention, which corresponds in its basic structure to the embodiments shown previously, wherein the locking device 8 comprises a fixing device 16, which here has a rotary lock 19. The fixing device 16 can be fixed to the rod assembly 3 by rotating several rotating parts of the rotary lock 19. Figure 10 shows a further embodiment of an assembly support 1 according to the invention, which corresponds in its basic structure to the embodiments shown previously, wherein the fixing device 16 of the locking device 8 here comprises a spring lock 20. This spring lock 20 comprises a U-shaped bent spring plate 29 with openings through which the rod retainer 3 is guided.The pre-loaded spring plate wedges itself against the rod assembly 3, thus fixing the locking device 16 to the rod assembly 3. When the two operating elements 28 at the ends of the spring plate 4 are moved towards each other, the rod assembly 3 is released within the spring plate 4, allowing the locking device to be moved up or down along the rod assembly 3. Another alternative embodiment is shown schematically in a side view in Figure 11. In this embodiment, the locking device 16 of the locking device 8 comprises a wedge lock 21. Two wedges 31 are provided here to fix the locking device 16 to the rod assembly 3, with one wedge inserted at the bottom and one at the top between the rod assembly 3 and the locking device 16. If the wedges are removed, the locking device 16 can be moved along the rod assembly.Another embodiment is shown in Figure 12. In this embodiment, the locking device 8 is provided exclusively by a stabilizing element 11, which, in the illustrated embodiment, is pivotally connected to the rod assembly 3 and the support surface 6. A hinge with a clamp is provided on the rod assembly 3 for attaching or pivotally receiving the stabilizing element 11. To achieve a suitable length difference for adjusting the angle of the support surface 6, the stabilizing element 11 is provided in two parts in the illustrated embodiment, with a first part 12 pivotally connected to the rod assembly 3 and a second part 13 pivotally connected to the support surface 6. A fixing element 32 is provided to allow for setting fixed angular positions, which can be fixed by means of a hand-operated screw.Figure 13 shows an alternative embodiment, in which the locking device 8 is again provided by a stabilizing element 11. As previously shown, the stabilizing element 11 is pivotally mounted on the rod assembly 3, but instead of a clamp, a different component is used for fastening. The other side of the stabilizing element 11 is pivotally mounted on the support surface 6. In the illustrated embodiment, the support surface 6 can be shifted to the left and right relative to the rest of the head section 2 and to the connecting device 4 to change its angular position. This changes the angular position of the support surface 6 relative to the rod assembly 3.Figure 14 shows another alternative embodiment, in which the joint 5 is integrated into the locking device 8 and not into the connecting device 4. This embodiment also provides a quick-release fastener 10 for adjusting the angular position of the support surface 6 relative to the rod assembly 3. The integration of the joint 3 into the locking device 8 provides a type of joint lock 9, allowing for suitable adjustment. Unlike the previously shown embodiments, no stabilizing element 11 is provided here. Without such a stabilizing element, the load-bearing capacity and the set angular position are not as robust as in the previously shown embodiments.In all previously shown embodiments, the head section 2 can preferably be provided detachably from the rod assembly together with the locking device 8. This allows, among other things, space-saving storage and improved transportability. Furthermore, a mounting support 1 according to the invention can then be produced from a conventional mounting support by means of a set or a retrofit set comprising a head section 2 and an Andreas Tertilt locking device 8.
