In der Fig. 1 ist eine Vorrichtung 1 in einer Arbeitsstellung dargestellt mit einem unteren und einem oberen Gelenkteil 2,3, wobei eine Einrichtung 4 zum Ausgleich eines Übergewichts eines um eine waagrechte Achse X schwenkbaren Geräts 5 (Fig.10) über das obere Gelenkteil 3 mittels einer Kraft einer Druckfeder 6 vorgesehen ist. Das untere Gelenkteil 2 ist mit einem Kolben 7 versehen, der durch die Druckfeder 6 mit einem im oberen Gelenkteil 3 angeordneten Kurventeil 8 gleitend in Kraftschluss steht, wobei das Kurventeil 8 einen derartigen Kurvenverlauf 9 aufweist, dass ein stetiger Ausgleich des Übergewichts erfolgt. Die Druckfeder 6 ist mittels einer Stellschraube 21 und einer drehfesten Mutter 40 vorgespannt und stützt sich als Gegenlager auf einen Konus 41 ab, wobei der Konus 41 in einer dazu komplementären Aufnahme 42 am unteren Ende des unteren Gelenkteils 2 angeordnet ist, dass der Konus 41 derart mit Schlitzen 43 versehen ist, dass er wie eine Spannzange auf die Stellschraube 21 wirkt, die in diesem Bereich kein Gewinde aufweist, wodurch von der Parkstellung in die Arbeitstellung eine progressive Friktion erfolgt, die ein Fallen des Geräts 25-31 in eine Arbeitsposition verhindert. Das untere Gelenkteil 2 ist mit einem ersten Kupplungsteil 10 für ein Tragelement 11 (Fig.10) und das obere Gelenkteil 3 mit einem zweiten Kupplungsteil 12 für das Gerät 5 versehen, wobei das untere und das obere Gelenkteil 2,3 als eine Baueinheit 13 ausgebildet ist.1 shows a device 1 in a working position with a lower and an upper hinge part 2,3, a device 4 for Compensation for an overweight around a horizontal axis X pivotable device 5 (Fig.10) over the upper hinge part 3 by means of a force a compression spring 6 is provided. The lower joint part 2 is with a piston 7 provided by the compression spring 6 with one in the upper joint part 3 arranged curve part 8 is slidably in frictional engagement, the curve part 8 has such a curve 9 that a constant compensation of the Obesity occurs. The compression spring 6 is by means of an adjusting screw 21 and a torsionally fixed nut 40 and is supported as a counter bearing on one Cone 41, the cone 41 in a complementary receptacle 42 is arranged at the lower end of the lower joint part 2 that the cone 41st is provided with slots 43 that it like a collet on the Set screw 21 acts, which has no thread in this area, whereby from the park position to the working position there is a progressive friction that a Prevents the device 25-31 from falling into a working position. The lower joint part 2 is with a first coupling part 10 for a support element 11 (Fig.10) and that provide the upper joint part 3 with a second coupling part 12 for the device 5, the lower and the upper joint part 2, 3 as a structural unit 13 is trained.

Solche Schwenkvorrichtungen werden zum Beispiel zum beweglichen Verbinden von Haartrockenhauben mit Stativen verwendet und erlauben ein komfortables Positionieren des Gerätes. Nachteilig bisher ist der nicht progressive Drehmomentverlauf beim Drehen bzw. Kippen des Gelenks, der durch eine aufwendige Friktion ausgeglichen werden muss um ein zu schnelles Kippen des Gerätes zu vermeiden. Diese Friktion ist bei den bisher bekannten Lösungen für alle Drehwinkel gleich groß (ein am Gelenk befestigtes Gerät erzeugt aber ein progressives Drehmoment).Such swivel devices are used, for example, for movable connection used by hair dryers with tripods and allow a comfortable Position the device. So far, the non-progressive has been a disadvantage Torque curve when turning or tilting the joint, which is caused by a elaborate friction has to be compensated in order to tilt the To avoid device. This friction is in the previously known solutions for all angles of rotation are the same size (but a device attached to the joint produces a progressive torque).

Bei der Vorrichtung 1 verläuft die Bewegung des Kolbens 7 nicht linear mit dem Drehwinkel des Gelenks 2,3, sondern progressiv durch die besondere Form der Gleitfläche. Außerdem dadurch, dass die Friktion zwischen den Gleitflächen mit zunehmendem Federdruck größer wird. Ein besonderer Vorteil ergibt sich aus der Friktionsdifferenz zwischen dem Drehen in Richtung Arbeitsposition und Richtung Aufsetzposition, wodurch das Anheben des Gerätes 5 erleichtert wird. In the device 1, the movement of the piston 7 is not linear with the Angle of rotation of the joint 2.3, but progressively through the special shape of the Sliding surface. In addition, the fact that the friction between the sliding surfaces with increasing spring pressure becomes larger. A particular advantage results from the friction difference between turning towards the working position and Towards the mounting position, which makes lifting the device 5 easier.

Für eine Stromversorgung eines Geräts 5 ist das untere Gelenkteil 2 mit einer Kabeleinführung 14 für ein Kabel 15 versehen, wobei für eine Nichtgebrauchsbeziehungsweise Parkstellung (Fig. 2 und 11) der Vorrichtung 1 wahlweise das untere Gelenkteil 2 mit einer Kabelwickelaufnahme 16 versehen ist.For a power supply of a device 5, the lower joint part 2 is with a Cable entry 14 provided for a cable 15, being for a non-use or Parking position (Fig. 2 and 11) of the device 1 either lower joint part 2 is provided with a cable winding holder 16.

Fig. 4 zeigt ein drittes Kupplungsteil 17 mit einem Gerät 5, wobei nach der Fig. 5 für eine einfach herzustellende mechanische Verbindung mit der Vorrichtung 1 das dritte Kupplungsteil 17 mit dem dazu korrespondierenden zweiten Kupplungsteil 12 des oberen Gelenkteils 3 verkuppelt ist. Für eine zusätzlich einfach herzustellende elektrische Verbindung des Geräts 5 mit der Vorrichtung 1 ist das zweite Kupplungsteil 12 des oberen Gelenkteils 3 mit einer ersten Elektrokupplung 18 und das dritte Kupplungsteil 17 des Geräts 5 mit einer dazu korrespondierenden zweiten Elektrokupplung 19 (gestrichelt angedeutet) versehen.FIG. 4 shows a third coupling part 17 with a device 5, according to FIG. 5 for an easy to establish mechanical connection with the device 1 the third coupling part 17 with the corresponding second Coupling part 12 of the upper joint part 3 is coupled. For an additional Easy to establish electrical connection of the device 5 with the device 1 is the second coupling part 12 of the upper joint part 3 with a first one Electric clutch 18 and the third coupling part 17 of the device 5 with one corresponding second electrical coupling 19 (indicated by dashed lines) Mistake.

Dadurch, dass dem Kolben 7 eine Federkrafteinstelleinrichtung 20 (Fig. 1 bis 3 und 5) zugeordnet ist, läßt sich individuell ein Ausgleich eines Übergewichts eines Geräts 5 einstellen, wobei vorzugsweise die Federkrafteinstelleinrichtung 20 mit einer Stellschraube 21 versehen ist, die vom unteren Ende des unteren Gelenkteils 2 mit einem nicht dargestellten Werkzeug verstellbar ist.The fact that the piston 7 has a spring force setting device 20 (FIGS. 1 to 3 and 5) can be individually compensated for an excess weight of a device 5, preferably the spring force adjustment device 20 is provided with an adjusting screw 21 which is from the lower end of the lower Joint part 2 is adjustable with a tool, not shown.

In den Fig. 6 bis 9 ist der Konus 41 dargestellt, der mit vier Schlitzen 43 versehen ist und dadurch wie eine Spannzange wirkt. Auf diesen Konus 41 drückt die Feder 6. Dadurch wird eine hohe Friktion zwischen der Schraube 21 und dem Konus 41 erzeugt. Da die Schraube 21 bei der Bewegung des Gelenks 2,3 in Richtung Arbeitsstellung nach unten bewegt wird, verhindert diese Friktion, dass das Gelenk 2,3 mit dem Gerät 5 schlagartig in die Arbeitsstellung fällt.6 to 9, the cone 41 is shown, which has four slots 43 is provided and thus acts like a collet. On this cone 41 presses the spring 6. This creates a high level of friction between the screw 21 and the cone 41 generated. Because the screw 21 during the movement of the joint 2,3 is moved down towards the working position, prevents this friction, that the hinge 2, 3 suddenly falls into the working position with the device 5.

Die Vorrichtung 1 weist eine Schutzverkleidung 22 auf, mit der das untere und das obere Gelenkteil 2,3 mittels eines unteren und eines oberen teilweise überlappenden kugelschalenartigen Verkleidungsteiles 23,24 geschützt ist, die vorzugsweise aus Kunststoff bestehen. Weitere Einzelheiten zeigen die Fig. 20 bis 27, wobei das untere Verkleidungsteil 23 in den Fig. 20 bis 23 und das obere Verkleidungsteil 24 in den Fig. 24 bis 27 dargestellt ist, die vorzugsweise jeweils als einstückiges Kunststoffspritzteil hergestellt sind.The device 1 has a protective covering 22 with which the lower and the upper hinge part 2, 3 by means of a lower and an upper part overlapping spherical shell-like covering part 23.24 is protected, the preferably made of plastic. 20 shows further details to 27, wherein the lower trim part 23 in Figs. 20 to 23 and the upper Trim part 24 is shown in FIGS. 24 to 27, preferably each are manufactured as a one-piece plastic injection molded part.

Als Gerät 5 ist ein Haarbehandlungsgerät 25, beispielsweise eine Haartrockenhaube 26 oder eine Dampfhaube 27 oder eine Leuchte 28, beispielsweise eine Operationsleuchte 29 vorgesehen (Fig. 6 und 7).A device 5 is a hair treatment device 25, for example one Hair dryer hood 26 or a steam hood 27 or a lamp 28, for example, an operating light 29 is provided (FIGS. 6 and 7).

In der Fig. 12 ist als Gerät 5 ein PC-Monitor 30 vorgesehen, beispielsweise ein Flachbildschirm (LCD)-Monitor 31, vorgesehen, der hier in einer niedrigen Position eingestellt ist und als Tragelement 11 eine Tischausführung aufweist.In FIG. 12, a PC monitor 30 is provided as device 5, for example a Flat screen (LCD) monitor 31, provided here in a low Position is set and has a table design as the support member 11.

In der Fig. 13 ist der Monitor 30, 31 nach der Fig. 12 in einer höheren Position eingestellt.13, the monitor 30, 31 according to FIG. 12 is in a higher position set.

In den Fig. 28 und 28 sind als vergrößerte Einzelheiten die erste Elektrokupplung 18 als eine Steckdose und die zweite Elektrokupplung 19 als ein Stecker dargestellt, wobei die Fig. 29 eine Verkupplung des Steckers mit der Steckdose zeigt.28 and 28 are the first electric clutch as enlarged details 18 as a socket and the second electric coupling 19 as a plug shown, Fig. 29 a coupling of the plug with the socket shows.
