Abstract

An apparatus for holding a book, a periodical or the like in the reading position on a bed, a lounger or the like has a support for the book, the periodical, or the like with a base frame that can be drawn out in two dimensions.

"Device for holding a book, a Magazine ο, like "in reading position"

The invention relates to a device for holding a book, a magazine or the like in the reading position, in particular on a bed, a deck chair or the like. _s with a plant © held by a standing or clampable tripod and a support for the book, magazine or the like protruding at its lower edge.

The invention is based on the object of a device of To create the type designated at the beginning, which is suitable for a wide variety of sizes of a book, a magazine ο "the like. equally suitable is.

According to the invention, this purpose is achieved in that said system has a two-dimensionally extendable base frame

With such a base frame from which the system for the Book, magazine or the like. serving elements also to the outside world and / or can protrude inwards into the area enclosed by the base frame, the system of the size of the book, the magazine or the like. adjust exactly within wide limits.

This adaptability has the advantage that the fastening means, such as

3 U 39 H

Brackets, hooks or the like. That such a device usually at the edge will always grasp equally and correctly, and in practice it amounts to the fact that the device is actually used for such different formats as another is not.

The base frame preferably consists of four parts which are connected to one another by four sliding guides arranged in a rectangle are.

An advantageous, particularly stable embodiment of a Such a base frame is characterized by sliding guides made of nested profiles, said four parts each consist of two profiles attached to each other and rigidly attached to each other at a right angle; the nested profiles can have a wide variety of cross-sectional shapes, preferably an angular shape. The four sliding guides arranged in a rectangle can also be set up in a wide variety of other ways. So the four parts mentioned could be triangular or differently shaped discs and simply connected in such a way, that each pin seated on one disc slide through a slot cut out in the other disc. It should be the rule that the pulling apart of the sliding guides is limited by end stops.

In the case of the above-mentioned, interlocking profiles, the outer profiles and the inner profiles each sit expediently Profiles together in the above-mentioned manner. This opens up greater possibilities for further configurations.

Thus, as a particularly advantageous embodiment of the invention, of the two each consisting of two outer profiles Share the basic framework from the system for the book, magazine or the like. serving elements outwards and / or inwards protrude into the rectangular area enclosed by the profiles.

3U39H

These elements can be, for example, two triangular panes, each of which lies with two sides on the two outer profiles that sit next to one another and adjoin one another with the third side in the non-extended position of the base frame. The gaping, more or less large gap between the panes when pulling apart is bridged at the corners by the inner profiles of the base frame, which are seated against each other at an angle, which is also the system for the book _5, the magazine ο, the like. form »Additional bridging bridges of various kinds are possible without any additional information.

To the book, the magazine or the like. To hold the system securely even in the steep position and to enable tilted positions, retaining clips will be attached to the right and left side of the system. In addition, hooks can be arranged _{at the top and bottom, a position-} adjustable, for example, in guides formed on the named outer profiles , and also for adaptation to different thicknesses of the book ο »the like. can be adjustable in length.

The system is held by the tripod preferably near that end of one of the said outer profiles on which the inner profile emerges. With this arrangement, the attachment of the system is all the closer to the center of the relevant Side, the more the plant is increased in height; despite the enlargement, there is no larger lever arm.

Finally, it is useful if the system is reversible is and also a support for the book, the magazine or the like at their respective upper edge. protrudes. That The tripod can then either be on the right or left.

Further measures that contribute to the advantageous embodiment of the invention are in the following description of a

3U39H

- 6 exemplary embodiment listed.

The drawings show the exemplary embodiment.

Fig. 1 shows a device for holding a book, magazine or the like. in reading position in a perspective representation.

FIG. 2 shows a section through a detail along line H-II in FIG. 1.

Fig. 3 shows part of the device in use. Fig. 4 shows a modification.

On a stand that can be clamped to an armrest, for example, a system 3 for a book, a Magazine or the like. attached.

The system 3 has two contact surfaces on a base frame 4 forming plates, two brackets 6 for support on the lower edge, two identical, not shown brackets on the upper edge, two brackets 7 on the two side edges, a hook on the upper edge and an identical hook, not shown, on the lower margin on.

The base frame 4 consists of four inherently rigid and against each other Slidable parts made of box profile, each extending over a corner of the base frame: two in Fig. recognizable profile angles 9 are in two profile angles 10, which are occupied by the plates forming the contact surfaces 5 and thereby are largely covered in Fig. 1. The profile angles 9 are held in the profile angles 10 by in the latter Attached end stops 11, which are in slots 12 of the profile angle 9 grab. Fig. 2 shows this in cross section, in Fig. 1 it is only indicated at one point.

The console 6 shown is seated on the lower profile angle 9, the other on the lower profile angle 10. The brackets 7 are both arranged on the profile angles 10.

They are designed as elastic wire brackets which are slidably inserted with their two ends 13 into correspondingly dimensioned bores of the relevant angle profile 17. The hook 8 shown in all figures of the drawing is seated on a sliding shoe 14 which is guided displaceably in an undercut channel on the outside of the horizontal leg of the upper profile angle 10. The length of the hook 8 is adjustable _{9 in} that a knurled screw 16 attaching the hook to the slide shoe passes through an elongated hole 17 in the back of the hook.

As can be seen from the above description, the height and width of the base frame and thus the entire Attachment for the book, the magazine ο »like. adjustable, independently of each other. So that is, within wide limits Any adaptation to a wide variety of formats possible.

Fig. 3 shows a book on a system adjusted in height and width on it. The book is on consoles 6 and lies with his back on the contact surfaces 5 and the profile angles 9 at. The clamps 7 reach far enough over the open halves of the book to hold them securely, but remain still at the edge and do not cover anything of the printed matter. The same applies to the hook 8, which holds the book up in the middle, wherever he goes has been pushed, holds and by the not shown hook opposite him. This on the one hand absolutely safe and on the other hand Not at all annoying bracket with comparatively small and tightly fitting brackets, hooks or the like. is a consequence of the exact Adaptability of the facility.

Fig. 4 shows the system 3 pushed together to the smallest possible size, in which the plates of the two contact surfaces 5 touch on the diagonal. At the same time, FIG. 4 shows, instead of the stand 1, a stand 18 with a stand 19, which also carries an ashtray 20. T

The holder 2 is such that the system 3 can be brought into any angular position, i.e. also vice versa can be. In the reverse position, the brackets mentioned, but not shown, serve as supports.

The profiles 9, 10 could also be plugged together via an intermediate profile instead of directly, d. H. form three-part telescopic rods.
