Abstract
In a universal joint arrangement between an apparatus holder and an apparatus support console including a receiver element mounted to the console, a ball joint element projecting from the holder, a ball element for engaging the ball joint element and the receiver element and a clamping mechanism comprising a bolt and a nut, the bolt extends through the ball joint element and the receiver element and the nut or the bolt head is retained in an operating wheel which is disposed adjacent the receiver element so as to be rotatable by the fingers of a user for adjusting the clamping force engaging the ball joint element between the receiver element and the ball element.
Description
- The invention relates to a universal joint arrangement for the interconnection of an apparatus holder or an apparatus holder mounting plate or a similar device and a support arm or a support console.
- Mobile apparatus such as minicomputers, so-called PDA's (Personal Digital Assistants) navigation apparatus, mobile telephones and similar apparatus are used in motor vehicles, on desks or at other locations in connection with apparatus carriers which include a console or a support arm, to which an apparatus holder or a mounting plate for supporting an apparatus holder is connected by way of a joint structure so that the respective apparatus can be adjusted to a position which is convenient for the observation of the visual display of the apparatus and for the operation of the apparatus.
- Universal joints for that purpose are known in the form of two adjacent hinge joints oriented so as to be pivotable in rectangularly displaced planes and also in the form of ball joints with spherical segment-shaped joint parts. In order to hold a particular apparatus stable in a selected position, it is of course necessary that the joint mechanism can be locked or that it is pretensioned so as to provide for sufficient friction between the joint parts to hold the joint parts in a particular selected position. In known ball joint mechanisms, the required clamping tension is generated in that a screw is screwed from the mounting plate that is from the side of the apparatus into the seating area of the joint mechanism and tightened to the degree needed to engage the joint parts. However, since the joint parts all consist essentially of plastic material which has a heat expansion coefficient different from the engagement means substantial problems have been encountered particularly in connection with the use of such joints in motor vehicles because of the high temperature changes for example as a result of the heating of vehicles parked in the summertime in the sun. Then, it has been found that the clamping tension becomes so relaxed that the apparatus holder will no longer maintain the adjusted position. This can be not only very annoying because it makes the use of the apparatus difficult but also because the necessary tensioning can be performed only with the use of a fitting screw driver and this process is often possible only by the removal of the apparatus holder or even additionally the mounting plate. Furthermore, upon cool-down, the joint may be so tight that it can no longer be adjusted.
- It is therefore the object of the present invention to provide an arrangement by which the problem described above can be controlled easily and without complicated design features.
- In a universal joint arrangement between an apparatus holder and an apparatus support console including a receiver element mounted to the console, a ball joint element projecting from the holder, a ball element for engaging the ball joint element and the receiver element and a clamping mechanism comprising a bolt and a nut, the bolt extends through the ball joint element and the receiver element and the nut or the bolt head is retained in an operating wheel which is disposed adjacent the receiver element so as to be rotatable by the fingers of a user for adjusting the clamping force engaging the ball joint element between the receiver element and the ball element.
- A particular preferred embodiment of the invention will be described below on the basis of the accompanying drawings.
-
FIG. 1 is a side view of the ball joint arrangement according to the invention, -
FIG. 2 shows the ball joint arrangement according to the invention in an axial cross-sectional view, and -
FIG. 3 shows an exemplary application for a ball joint arrangement according to the invention. -
FIGS. 1 and 2 show the joint arrangement according to the invention in connection with anapparatus support plate 1 and ashort pivot arm 2 which is the end member of an apparatus carrier which is not shown. Theapparatus support plate 1 has angledclaws 11 which cooperate with corresponding engagement slots of an apparatus holder which is not shown and, together therewith, form a rapid coupling structure for releasably mounting the apparatus holder. Thepivot arm 2, which is shown very short in the figure may of course have any length and, at its rear end, is provided with a forkedhinge element 21 which cooperates with a corresponding counter element of a pivot hinge mechanism. - As shown in the side view of
FIG. 1 and the cross-sectional view ofFIG. 2 (in a plane turned by 90°), the ball joint arrangement between theapparatus mounting plate 1 and thepivot arm 2 consists of aball joint element 12 disposed on the backside of themounting plate 1, aball joint receiver 22 disposed at the front end of thepivot arm 2 and ajoint clamping mechanism 3. - The
joint clamping mechanism 3 comprises asleeve member 31 projecting from theball segment receiver 22, a spherical segment-shaped clamping body 32 disposed on the free end of thesleeve member 31, abolt 33 extending from theclamping body 32 through thesleeve member 31 and having a head snugly received in a correspondingly shaped recess of theclamping body 32 so as to be held rotationally fixed thereby and anut 35 threaded onto thebolt 33 behind theball segment receiver 22 with anadjustment wheel 36 snugly receiving thenut 35 for rotation therewith. As shown inFIGS. 1 and 2 , thepivot arm 2 has adjacent the segment receiver 22 acylindrical recess 2′ in which the end of thebolt 33 is accommodated and theclamping body 32 has arecess 32′ (FIG. 2 ) which receives the free end of thesleeve member 31 so as to permit a relative axial movement between theclamping body 32 and thesleeve member 31 over a certain distance. - The
ball joint element 12 is therefore received between thesegment receiver 22 and theclamping body 32 and is engageable therebetween. As apparent fromFIG. 2 , theball joint element 12 has a largecentral opening 13 through which thesleeve member 31 extends and whose size is so selected that the desired freedom of pivoting of themounting plate 1 over a certain range is made possible. - By rotating the
adjustment wheel 36 which is preferably knurled at its circumference, the ball joint arrangement can be tightened or loosened any time while the apparatus holder is mounted onto themounting plate 1 and this can be done without the use of any tools. - As apparent particularly from
FIG. 1 , theadjustment wheel 36 is arranged within a flat frame structure formed by thepivot arm 2 so that it can be easily grasped with two fingers. Of course, thepivot arm 2 may have any desirable shape or may be replaced by another member of an apparatus support structure. - As an actual example of an application,
FIG. 3 shows acomplete apparatus carrier 4 with acolumn 41, asuction foot 42 with an operating mechanism therefore arranged within thecolumn 41 and atelescopic arm 44 connected thereto by a hingejoint structure 43 having two hinge axes displaced by 90° and carrying at the free end thereof theapparatus support plate 1 by way of theclamping mechanism 3 described above. - Other than described in the shown example, the ball joint structure may also have a clamping mechanism in which the
adjustment wheel 36 is connected to the head of a bolt cooperating with a nut received in theclamping body 32.
