/■·. Swivel joint on a device carrier for computer devices, steering housing, control panel, or similar.

The invention relates to a swivel joint on a device carrier for computer devices, control housings, control panels, or the like, which is designed as an intermediate joint, wall joint and attachment joint with a swivel range of at least 180 degrees.

The mounts for computer devices, control units, control panels or similar available on the market have a swivel range of around 180 degrees with a wrist and intermediate joint and around 360 degrees with an attachment joint.

The swivel ranges of the suspensions cannot be adjusted to the desired swivel angles, so that when the devices are operated, they may wander out of the working area unintentionally.

The object of the invention is to equip a swivel joint for equipment carriers with an adjustment option for the swivel ranges or* the swivel angle,

The rotation limit stop is made of adjustable: stop discs and cooperating with them

Utility value.

The drawings show embodiments of the invention, which are explained in more detail below. It shows:

Wall joint with adjustable rotation limit stop,

Fig. 2 a top view of the wall joint, Fig. 3 a bottom view of the wall joint, Fig. 4 a front view of the wall joint,

Fig. 5 is a side view in partial section of a Rotation limit stop for an attachment joint, Fig. 6 is a plan view of the rotation limit stop.

The swivel joint on a device carrier for computer devices, control devices, control panels or the like is designed as an intermediate joint, wall joint (1) and attachment joint (2) with a swivel range of at least 180 degrees.

The intermediate joint and the wall joint (1) extend between two device carrier parts (3, 4), preferably support arms, and the attachment joint (2) accommodates an outgoing device carrier part (5), preferably a support arm.

A stop (6, 7) is arranged on each swivel joint (1, 2) to limit the swivel range and/or fix the set swivel angle.

The stop (6) on the intermediate wall joint (1) has two stop disks (9, 10) that can be continuously rotated and locked against each other around the joint axis (8) and two stop bolts (11, 12) that are each fixed to one of the two device carrier parts (3, 4) connected by the joint (1) and that interact with a stop disk (9, 10). One stop disk

(9) is arranged on the top of a device carrier part (3) and can be fixed to its device carrier part (3) by a screw (14) which passes through a slot (13) of the stop disk (9) running on a partial circular arc and is inserted into the device carrier part (3).

The second stop disc (10) is arranged under the second device carrier part (4) and is also fixed under its device carrier part (4) by a screw (14) which passes through a slot (13) of the disc (10) running on a partial circular arc and engages in the device carrier part (4).

The upper disc (9) acts with a stop bolt (11) fixed in the device carrier part (4) and the lower disc

(10) with a stop bolt (12) fastened in the device carrier part (3). Each of the two discs (9, 10) has essentially a circular basic shape with an elliptical peripheral area ending in a stop projection (15, 16).

■ &igr; · t ■

The partially annular slot (13) in each disk (9, 10) has a circumferential angle of more than 1Θ0 degrees. Both disks (9, 10) are identically designed and are assigned to the swivel joint (1) rotated by 1Θ0 degrees.

In Fig. 1 to 4, the swivel joint (1) is designed as a wall joint and the wall-side device carrier part

(4) a mounting flange (17). In the formation ( &igr;

As an intermediate joint, this swivel joint (1) is without

Mounting flange (17) is designed.

The two device carrier parts (3, 4) interlock and are pivotally connected to each other by the rotation axis (8).

To adjust the swivel angle of the swivel joint (1), the two screws (14) are loosened and then one device carrier part (3) can be swiveled relative to the other device carrier part (4) around the joint axis (8). The two discs ( ) (9, 10) are then rotated with their stop attachment (15, 16) against the associated stop bolt (11, 12) and fixed to their device carrier part (3, 4) using the screws (14).

Now the two stop lugs (15, 16) rest on the bolts (11, 12) on opposite sides, so that the set swivel angle of the two device carrier parts (3, 4) is fixed to each other and unintentional swiveling is excluded.

This swivel angle adjustment is infinitely variable and the user can set any desired number of degrees. This has the advantage that the control panel can be positioned exactly in the working area on the machine and it is not possible for the control panel to move when operating it.

It is also possible to rotate the two stop disks (9, 10) in such a way that their stop attachment (15, 16) is located at a certain distance in front of the associated stop bolt (11, 12), whereby a certain swivel range is set in which one device carrier part (3) can be moved relative to the other.

The stop (7) on the attachment joint (2) is formed by a two-part ring with a clamping block (21, 22) on each ring half (18, 19) that is continuously adjustable and lockable over a circumferential angle range and interacts with stop bolts (20) ) attached to a lower, fixed joint part (2a).

., The two ring halves (18, 19) each have a

& Circumferential angle of 180 degrees on and in each ring half

|( (18, 19) is a circumferential angle of less than

S§ 180 degrees, on a partial arc

extending slot (23, 24) through which a screw (25, 26) for each clamping block (21, 22) passes, by means of which the clamping block (21, 22) is locked in its set £ position.

The two ring halves (18, 19) have a circumferential recess (27) for the stop bolt (20) on their side facing the lower joint part (2a), and the two clamping blocks (21, 22) protrude into this recess (27).

The two ring halves (18, 19) are connected to the ring in the separation area by screws (28) and are fastened under the upper joint part (2a) of the attachment joint (2); thus, this rotation limit stop (7) is located between the upper rotating attachment joint part (2b) and the lower fixed attachment joint part (2a) and is rotated with the upper attachment joint part (2b) relative to the fixed stop bolt (20).

By loosening the two screws (25, 26), the clamping blocks (21, 22) can be rotated independently of one another in the slots (23, 24) in both directions, so that the swivel angle range between the clamping blocks (21, 22) can be continuously adjusted and when the device carrier part (5) is rotated in one direction or the other, a clamping block (21, 22) abuts against the stop bolt (20) and thereby limits the swivel angle range.
