Description

Aus der US-A-39 02 246 ist eine Tragarmkonstruktion für einen zahnärztlichen Instrumententisch bekannt, bei der an einem bodenseitig befestigbaren vertikalen Tragrohr (Ständer) ein erster und an diesem wiederum ein an seinem freien Ende den Instrumententisch tragender zweiter horizontaler Tragarm jeweils mittels eines Drehgelenks angelenkt sind. Eine solche Tragarmkonstruktion ist nur in der vorgesehenen Anordnung verwendbar, d.h. die dort aufgezeigte Tragarmkonstruktion mit dem bodenseitigen Ständer ist nicht ohne weiteres verwendbar für eine Deckenbefestigung. Umgekehrt wäre eine zur Deckenbefestigung ausgebildete Tragarmkonstruktion nicht ohne weiteres für eine Bodenbefestigung einsetzbar. Des weiteren ist das Hinzufügen, Weglassen oder Kürzen von Tragrohren bei der bekannten Konstruktion nicht bzw. nicht ohne aufwendige Änderung der Konstruktion möglich.From US-A-39 02 246 a support arm construction for a dental instrument table is known, in which on a bottom-side vertical support tube (stand) a first and in turn a second horizontal support arm carrying the instrument table at its free end, each by means of a swivel joint are articulated. Such a support arm construction can only be used in the intended arrangement, i.e. the support arm construction shown there with the base-side stand is not readily usable for ceiling mounting. Conversely, a support arm construction designed for ceiling mounting would not be readily usable for floor mounting. Furthermore, the addition, omission or shortening of support tubes in the known construction is not possible or not possible without complex modification of the construction.

Der im Anspruch 1 angegebenen Erfindung liegt die Aufgabe zugrunde, demgegenüber eine verbesserte Tragarmkonstruktion anzugeben. Durch den erfindungsgemäßen Aufbau der nachfolgend näher erläuterten Tragarmkonstruktion ist es möglich, hinsichtlich vorzusehender Bogen und Tragrohre und deren Längen, unter Verwendung jeweils gleicher Bauteile, eine individuelle Tragarmkonstruktion zusammenzustellen.The invention specified in claim 1 is based on the object to provide an improved support arm construction. The inventive structure of the support arm construction explained in more detail below makes it possible to put together an individual support arm construction with regard to the bends and support tubes to be provided and their lengths, using the same components in each case.

Die Figur 1 zeigt in einer schematischen Darstellung eine Ausführungsform der erfindungsgemäßen Tragarmkonstruktion zur schwenkbaren Halterung eines zahnärztlichen Instrumententisches. Die Tragarmkonstruktion besteht aus einem an einem bodenseitigen Ständer 1 befestigten vertikalen Tragrohr 2, zwei jeweils waagerechten Tragrohren 3 und 4 sowie Rohrbogen 5 bis 8 zur Verbindung der Tragrohre untereinander bzw. mit dem Instrumententisch 9.Figure 1 shows a schematic representation of an embodiment of the support arm construction according to the invention for pivotally holding a tooth medical instrument table. The support arm construction consists of a vertical support tube 2 fastened to a base-side stand 1, two horizontal support tubes 3 and 4 as well as tube bends 5 to 8 for connecting the support tubes to one another or to the instrument table 9.

Gestrichelt eingezeichnet ist eine Anordnung, bei der unter Verwendung gleicher Bauteile die Tragarmkonstruktion für eine Deckenmontage vorgesehen ist und zu diesem Zweck ebenfalls ein vertikales Tragrohr 2' und einen gegenüber der zuvor erläuterten Anordnung um 180 versetzt dazu angeordneten Rohrbogen 5' enthält.An arrangement is shown in dashed lines, in which the support arm construction is provided for ceiling mounting using the same components and for this purpose also contains a vertical support pipe 2 'and a pipe bend 5' which is offset from the previously explained arrangement by 180 °.

Die Tragarme 3 und 4 können an den durch Pfeilen gezeichneten Stellen geschwenkt werden, ansonsten sind die Teile starr, d.h. verdrehsicher, miteinander verbunden. Um eine geiwsse Höhenverstellung des Instrumententisches 9 zu ermöglichen, kann entweder ein zusätzlicher höhenverstellbarer Tragarm vorgesehen oder auch der mit 4 bezeichnete Tragarm als Parallelogrammtragarm ausgebildet sein.The support arms 3 and 4 can be pivoted at the points shown by arrows, otherwise the parts are rigid, i.e. non-rotating, connected to each other. In order to enable a height adjustment of the instrument table 9, either an additional height-adjustable support arm can be provided, or the support arm labeled 4 can be designed as a parallelogram support arm.

Ein wesentliches Kennzeichen der Tragarmkonstruktion ist, daß die Tragrohre 2, 3, 4 ein sich über ihre gesamte Länge erstreckendes, gleichbleibendes Profil aufweisen, das, wie später noch näher erläutert, zu einem entsprechend ausgebildeten Gegenprofil an den Rohrbogen 5 bis 8 paßt, so daß durch axiales Zusammenstecken eine drehfeste Verbindung zwischen Rohrbogen und Tragrohr hergestellt werden kann. Das Profil ist so ausgebildet, daß der Rohrbogen alternativ vorzugsweise um jeweils 180 versetzt gegenüber dem Tragrohr eingesetzt werden kann, sodaß, wie in Figur 1 gestrichelt dargestellt, der Bogen mit seinem einen Ende alternativ nach oben oder unten gerichtet im Tragrohr montiert werden kann.An essential feature of the support arm construction is that the support tubes 2, 3, 4 have a constant profile extending over their entire length, which, as will be explained in more detail later, fits to a correspondingly configured counter profile on the tube bends 5 to 8, so that a non-rotatable connection between the pipe bend and the support pipe can be established by axially plugging together. The profile is designed so that the pipe bend can alternatively preferably be used offset by 180 in each case with respect to the support pipe, so that, as shown in broken lines in FIG.

Das Profil der Tragrohre ist in Figur 2 dargestellt. Es wird gebildet durch ein Rohr mit zylindrischer äußerer Mantelfläche und vier am Umfang gleichmäßig verteilt und über die gesamte Länge des Tragrohres sich erstreckenden inneren Erhebungen 11 und dazwischenliegenden Vertiefungen 12, die achsparallel verlaufende Stege und dazwischenliegende Nuten bilden. Ein entsprechendes Gegenprofil weist das eine Ende der Rohrbogen 5 bis 8 auf, wie dies anhand der Figuren 3 und 4 am Beispiel des Rohrbogens 5 bzw. 7 erläutert wird. Jeder Rohrbogen besteht aus einem Grundkörper 13 (Rohling), der an seinem einen Ende einen Steckzapfen 14 und an seinem anderen Ende eine Bohrung 15 zur Aufnahme eines Drehzapfens eines sich daran anschließenden weiteren Rohrbogens (z.B. Rohrbogen 6) aufweist. Der Drehzapfen ist mittels eines auf den Grundkörper 13 aufgeschraubten Winkelbleches 25 axial gesichert. Der Steckzapfen 14 ist mit einem zum Profil gemäß Figur 2 passenden Gegenprofil versehen, d.h. am Steckzapfen 14 sind ebenfalls einerseits vier gleichmäßig am Umfang verteilte Längsnuten 16, die zu den Erhebungen 11 des Tragrohrprofils passen, und dazwischenliegende Stege 17, die zu den Längsnuten 12 des Tragrohrprofils passen, vorhanden.The profile of the support tubes is shown in Figure 2. It is formed by a tube with a cylindrical outer surface and four evenly distributed on the circumference and extending over the entire length of the support tube inner elevations 11 and intermediate recesses 12 which form axially parallel webs and grooves in between. A corresponding counter profile has one end of the pipe bends 5 to 8, as will be explained with reference to FIGS. 3 and 4 using the example of the pipe bend 5 and 7, respectively. Each pipe bend consists of a base body 13 (blank), which has a plug 14 at one end and a bore 15 at its other end for receiving a pivot of a further pipe bend (e.g. pipe bend 6). The pivot is axially secured by means of an angle plate 25 screwed onto the base body 13. The plug pin 14 is provided with a mating profile that matches the profile according to FIG. on the spigot 14 there are also on the one hand four evenly distributed longitudinal grooves 16 which fit the elevations 11 of the support tube profile and intermediate webs 17 which match the longitudinal grooves 12 of the support tube profile.

Im Bereich des Bogens enthält der Grundkörper 13 eine Ausnehmung 18, die einen Zugang zum Rohrinneren verschafft, wodurch z.B. im Inneren verlegte Leitungen leichter ausgewechselt werden können. Die Mantelfläche des an sich unbearbeiteten Grundkörpers 13 wird bedeckt durch zwei in den Figuren 5 bis 8 dargestellte Kunststoffhalbschalen, einer oberen HalbschaLe 19 (Figur 5) und einer unteren Halbschale 20 (Figur 6). Die beiden Halbschalen 19 und 20 enthalten geeignete Kupplungselemente 21, 22, die beim Aufsetzen der Halbschalen auf den Grundkörper 13 miteinander in Eingriff kommen. Solche vorzugsweise als Schnappverbindungselemente ausgebildeten Kupplungselemente sind an sich bekannt. Die untere Halbschale 20 kann durch geeignete Befestigungsmittel, z.B. ebenfalls in Form von Schnappelementen 23, 24, am Grundkörper 13 befestigt sein. Im aufgesetzten Zustand wird durch die Halbschale 19 die Ausnehmung 18 im Grundkörper 13 verdeckt. Ein wesentlicher Vorteil dieses Aufbaus ist, daß die Oberfläche des Grundkörpers 13 nicht fein bearbeitet zu werden braucht, da die beiden Halbschalen 19 und 20 als sehr billig herzustellende Kunststoffspritzteile bereits die notwendige Oberflächenbeschaffenheit aufweisen können. Ein weiterer Vorteil liegt darin, daß unterschiedliche Würische des Kunden in der Farbgestaltung bereits in der Erstellung der Kunststoffhalbschalen berücksichtigt werden können, so daß aufwendige Lackierarbeiten am Rohrbogen selbst entfallen. Ein weiterer Vorteil liegt, wie bereits erwähnt, darin, daß in der gesamten Tragarmkonstruktion verlegte Leitungen sehr leicht auch nachträglich verlegt bzw. ausgewechselt werden können, weil durch Abnehmen der oberen Halbschale 19 gerade im kritischen Bereich des Rohrbogens über die Ausnehmung 18 ein guter Zugang zu den im Inneren verlegten Leitungen gegeben ist.In the area of the bend, the base body 13 contains a recess 18, which provides access to the inside of the pipe, as a result of which, for example, lines laid inside can be replaced more easily. The outer surface of the basic body 13, which is not machined per se, is covered by two plastic half-shells shown in FIGS. 5 to 8, an upper half-shell 19 (FIG. 5) and a lower half-shell 20 (FIG. 6). The two half-shells 19 and 20 contain suitable coupling elements 21, 22 which, when the half-shells are placed on the base body 13 engage with each other. Such coupling elements, which are preferably designed as snap connection elements, are known per se. The lower half-shell 20 can be fastened to the base body 13 by suitable fastening means, for example also in the form of snap elements 23, 24. In the attached state, the recess 18 in the base body 13 is covered by the half-shell 19. A major advantage of this construction is that the surface of the base body 13 does not need to be finely machined, since the two half-shells 19 and 20 can already have the necessary surface finish as plastic injection-molded parts which can be produced very cheaply. Another advantage lies in the fact that different customer needs can be taken into account in the color design in the creation of the plastic half-shells, so that complex painting work on the pipe bend itself is not necessary. Another advantage, as already mentioned, is that lines laid throughout the support arm construction can also be very easily retrofitted or replaced because, by removing the upper half-shell 19, good access to the recess 18, particularly in the critical area of the pipe bend the cables laid inside are given.

Anhand der Figuren 9 und 10 wird die Verbindung des Rohrbogens mit dem senkrechten Tragrohr 2 bzw. 2' näher erläutert. Diese Verbindung ist eine drehbare Verbindung, d.h. der Rohrbogen kann um etwa 360 um das Tragrohr gedreht werden. Eine solche Verbindung kann auch zwischen dem Bogen 7md dem Bogen 6 bestehen.The connection of the pipe bend to the vertical support pipe 2 or 2 'is explained in more detail with reference to FIGS. 9 and 10. This connection is a rotatable connection, i.e. the pipe bend can be rotated about 360 around the support pipe. Such a connection can also exist between the arch 7md and the arch 6.

In die Bohrung 15 nach Figur 3 ist ein zapfenförmig vorstehendes Rohr 26 eingeschraubt oder anderweitig befestigt. Darauf ist eine Kunststoffbuchse 27 aufgesetzt und mittels Scheibe 28 und Federring 29 axial gesichert. Die Kunststoffbuchse 27 bildet zusammen mit dem Rohr 26 ein Gleitlager, d.h. die Buchse ist gegenüber dem Rohr 26 frei drehbar. Mit 30 sind am Umfang vorstehend angeordnete Rastelemente bezeichnet, die im Profil dem Profil des Zapfens 14 am anderen Ende des Bogens entsprechen, so daß sie zu dem in Figur 2 gezeigten Rohrprofil passen. Das Rohr enthält, wie in Figur 10 dargestellt, eine Ausdrehung oder Hinterdrehung 31, deren Tiefenmaß dem der Rastelemente 30 entspricht, so daß beim Zusammenfügen von Rohr 2 und Bogen 5 nach axialem Einführen der Teile über die Vertiefungen 12 und nach Verdrehen der beiden Teile eine bajonettartige Verbindung zustande kommt, welche bei hängender Montage die Axialkräfte aufnimmt. Zur Sicherung der Verbindung kann im Tragrohr 2 eine Stellschraube 32 vorgesehen sein, die in ein Gewinde oder in eine Sackbohrung 33 in der Kunststoffbuchse 27 eingreift und so ein Ausdrehen der Bajonettverbindung verhindert.In the bore 15 of Figure 3, a protruding tube 26 is screwed or otherwise be consolidates. A plastic bushing 27 is placed thereon and axially secured by means of washer 28 and spring washer 29. The plastic bushing 27 forms a slide bearing together with the pipe 26, ie the bushing can be freely rotated relative to the pipe 26. At 30 circumferentially arranged locking elements are designated, which correspond in profile to the profile of the pin 14 at the other end of the arc, so that they match the tubular profile shown in FIG. The tube contains, as shown in Figure 10, a turn or undercut 31, the depth of which corresponds to that of the locking elements 30, so that when tube 2 and bend 5 are joined together after axial insertion of the parts over the recesses 12 and after twisting the two parts Bayonet-like connection is created, which absorbs the axial forces when suspended. To secure the connection, a set screw 32 can be provided in the support tube 2, which engages in a thread or in a blind hole 33 in the plastic bushing 27 and thus prevents the bayonet connection from being unscrewed.

Um ein Überdrehen der beiden Teile 2 und 5 zu verhindern, können den Drehbereich auf maximal 360 begrenzende Anschläge, z.B. in Form von einem Anschlagstift od.dgl., vorhanden sein, die dann an der mit 34 gekennzeichneten Stelle im Tragrohr und an korrespondierender Stelle im Rohr 26 angebracht sind.In order to prevent overtightening of the two parts 2 and 5, the turning range can be limited to a maximum of 360 stops, e.g. in the form of a stop pin or the like. Be present, which are then attached at the point marked 34 in the support tube and at a corresponding point in the tube 26.
