DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0099] Embodiments of the invention will be described hereinafter with the aid of the figures. It will be understood that the aspects and elements described with respect to some figures also apply analogously to other figures, for which these aspects and elements will not be described again.

[0100] FIG. 1 shows a perspective overall view of the angle stop 1 in accordance with the invention in the non-mounted state and without any fixed work component or guide rail 400. The angle stop 1 illustrated in FIG. 1 has a first body 100 and a second body 200. The first body is used to contact a workpiece 500 (not shown here) and has a workpiece contact surface 110 for contacting the workpiece. This contact surface 110 can be provided on both sides of the longitudinal extension direction x. The surface thereof extends in the x-z plane for contacting a workpiece side surface 510 of a workpiece 500, not shown here. The angle stop 1 with a work component 400 fixed thereto is shown in FIG. 5 in which the angle stop 1 is shown placed against a workpiece 500, wherein a contact surface 110 in FIG. 5 contacts the workpiece side surface 510. The second body 200 is connected to the first body at a centre of rotation P so as to be rotatable about an axis of rotation. The centre of rotation P is concealed by a lever mechanism 230, 231, 233 in FIG. 1. However, the position of the centre of rotation P can be seen in FIG. 2. The second body 200 has a work component contact surface 210, against which a work component or guide rail 400 having a corresponding counter-contact surface 410 can be placed and can be fixed in relation to the second body 200. As can be seen in FIG. 5, the work component 400 in the fixed state is supported on a workpiece surface 520 of the workpiece 500. In this manner, the first body 100 and the second body 200 are connected together and can be oriented with respect to each other in an angle-defined manner in a rotation plane x-y. For instance, the work component contact surface 210 can be oriented in an angle-specific manner in relation to the workpiece contact surface 110 in order to orient said work component 400, to be fixed and can be placed on the workpiece surface 520, in an angle-defined manner in relation to said workpiece side surface 510. The embodiment shown in FIG. 1 permits angle setting proceeding from the perpendicular orientation, as shown in FIG. 1, of the second body 200 with respect to the first body by +/−60 degrees. The principle of angle orientation can be seen in FIG. 4.

[0101] The workpiece contact surface 110 of the first body has a longitudinal extension direction x in a rotation plane x-y of the first body 100 and of the second body 200, and a transverse extension direction z with an inclination with respect to the rotation plane x-y of the first body 100 and of the second body 200. The inclination is orthogonal in FIG. 1, the transverse direction of the contact surface 110 of the first body thus extends perpendicularly in the z direction with respect to the rotation plane x-y between the first and second bodies 100, 200. The work component contact surface 210 has a longitudinal extension direction y in a rotation plane x-y of the first body 100 and of the second body 200 oriented at a right angle as shown in FIG. 1. The work component contact surface 210 further has a transverse extension direction z with an inclination with respect to the rotation plane x-y of the first body 100 and of the second body 200. The inclination is orthogonal in FIG. 1, i.e. the transverse direction of the work component contact surface 210 of the second body 200 extends perpendicularly with respect to the rotation plane x-y between the first and second bodies 100, 200 in the z direction.

[0102] Coupling of the work component or guide rail 400 to the second body 200 is effected via a connector arrangement 230 or quick connector system. The connector arrangement 230 is designed to fix the work component 400, to be fixed, to the work component contact surface 210 by means of a quick closure clamping process. The connector arrangement 230 can exert a clamping force on a structure 415, shown in FIG. 3, of the work component 400, to be fixed, and acting upon this structure 415 can press a contact surface 410 of the work component against the contact surface 210 of the second body. The structure 415 can be a U-profile provided on the work component 400 and extending in the longitudinal extension direction y of the work component 400 in FIG. 3. The U-profile 415 can be provided with an overhang 434 which allows rearward engagement of a hook 234, which will be described hereinafter, on the connector arrangement 230 in order to avoid slippage. In this manner, a clamping force can be exerted in the x direction shown in FIGS. 1 and 3 and is exerted in the perpendicular direction on the work component contact surface 210 in order to fix the work component 400, to be fixed, with respect to the second body 200. The clamping force has a force component in parallel with the rotation plane x-y of the first body 100 and of the second body 200. For improved guidance and pre-positioning of the work component 400, in particular the structure or U-profile 415 thereof, a receiving structure 215 can be provided on the second body 200 in order to pre-position a corresponding structure 415 of the work component 400, to be fixed, prior to clamping. This receiving structure 215 can be an overarching arm which has, opposite the contact surface 210, a guide surface 211 for the work component 400, in particular the structure or U-profile 415 of the work component. In the embodiment shown in FIG. 1, this receiving structure 215 and the guide surface 211 are provided multiple times and so conformal positioning of the work component 400 in contact with the second body 200 can be performed, before fixing by the connector arrangement 230 is performed.

[0103] The connector arrangement 230 comprises a clamp lever 232 pivotably fixed to the second body 200 and a clamp element 231 pivotably fixed to the clamp lever 232. The clamp element 231 and the clamp lever 232 cooperate such that pivoting of the clamp lever 232 by the user results in pivoting or displacement of the clamp element 231 such that the clamp element 231 exerts a clamping force on said structure 415 of the work component 400, to be fixed, in the direction of the work component contact surface 210. The clamp lever 232 is in this case rotatably fixed to the second body and the clamp element 231 is rotatably fixed to the clamp lever 232. An articulation arm, not shown here, can also be provided being on the one hand fixed to the clamp element 231 in an articulated manner and is also fixed to the second body 200 in an articulated manner in order to form, together with the clamp lever 232, the clamp element 231 and the second body 200, an articulation quadrilateral. This can be sized such that the clamp element 231 is automatically lifted when the clamp lever 232 is pivoted into a position disconnecting the connection, in order to lift the clamp element 231 from the U-profile 415 shown in FIG. 3, in particular away from the overhang 434, and so the work component 400 is released. In a similar manner, the clamp element 231 can be automatically lowered, when the clamp lever 232 is pivoted, into the fixing position and any hook 234 provided on the end thereof can be lowered into the U-profile 415 behind the overhang 434 without the user again having to ensure that the clamp element 231 actually acts upon the structure 415 and does not slide beyond it. In the fixed state, the clamp lever 232 lies substantially in parallel with the rotation plane x-y of the first body 100 and of the second body 200 and thus substantially flat on the surface of the angle stop 1. As a result, the lever is prevented from obstructing the user whilst he is working or items of clothing are prevented from hooking thereon.

[0104] The angle stop 1 further has an angle fixing device 250, by means of which an angle selected and set by the user between the first body 100 and the second body 200 can be fixed and also then released. This angle fixing device 250 can be a clamping screw, by means of which the second body 200 is pressed onto the first body 100 in order to prevent angle adjustment by way of frictional engagement. The clamping screw can have a handle which allows the screw to be tightened and loosened by hand. The handle can be designed and positioned in proximity to the clamp lever 232 such that it virtually shields the clamp lever in respect of items of clothing and thus contributes to the fact that any items of clothing from the user sliding over the angle stop are guided by the handle over the clamp lever without hooking therein.

[0105] In the angle stop shown in FIG. 1, the second body 200 is oriented, with respect to the extension direction of the work component or guide rail 400, to be fixed, orthogonally to the extension direction of the workpiece contact surface 110 of the first body 100. An orientation different from the orthogonal orientation is shown in FIG. 4.

[0106] As can be seen in FIG. 1, the angle stop has, in the first body 100, a guide rail 171 having a stabilising body 170 arranged to be displaceable therein. The stabilising body or even sliding block 170 engages into a corresponding recess 470, shown in FIG. 2, of a work component 400 to be fixed. Since the recess or U-profile 470 of the work component 400, to be fixed, does not extend through the centre of rotation P, the distance between the recess 470 and the stabilising body 170 and the guide rail 171 changes. Allowance is made for this in that the stabilising body 170 which can be displaced in the guide rail 171 can change the distance and can engage into the recess 470 in a stabilising manner at different angle positions. In the embodiment shown in FIG. 1, the trajectory of the guide rail 171 is oriented straight or linear and in parallel with the longitudinal extension direction x of the workpiece contact surface 110. However, the trajectory can also be curved, which facilitates displacement of the stabilising body 170 upon angular rotation in the bending direction in the recess 470, since the transverse forces are reduced. The recess 470 can be designed to be groove-shaped and so the stabilising body 170 can slide along therein. The recess 470 can be provided in the form of a U-profile formed on the work component 400 and can likewise comprise an overhang which prevents the stabilising body from slipping out of the groove 470, in particular when the stabilising body 170 is designed with a T-shaped head. In that case, the stabilising body 170 can only be unthreaded and threaded at corresponding cut-outs of the overhang or at the ends of the U-profile 470. It will be understood that the recess or groove 470 in the exemplified embodiment shown here is open towards the workpiece surface at the bottom, whilst the structure or groove 415 is open at the top. The stabilising body 170 can comprise fixing component, system, or means, not visible here, by means of which the stabilising body 170 can be fixed with respect to the guide rail 171. Furthermore, the stabilising body 170 can comprise fixing coponent, not visible here, by means of which the stabilising body 170 can be fixed to the work component 400 with respect to the recess 470.

[0107] In the embodiment shown in FIG. 1, the angle stop has, on the first body spaced apart from a centre of rotation or coupling region P of the first body 100 and of the second body 200, a clamp surface arrangement 130 having a support surface 132 with an extension in parallel with the rotation plane x-y of the first body 100 and of the second body 200. The support surface 130 protrudes beyond the workpiece contact surface 110 and is supported on a workpiece surface 520, as can be seen in FIG. 4 and FIG. 5. This support surface is used to achieve stable support on the workpiece surface and to prevent tipping of the angle stop. In a similar manner to a second opposite workpiece contact surface 110, 120, this support surface can also be provided on the opposite side. This contact surface can also be used to receive a clamp 600, by means of which the angle stop can be fixed to the workpiece 500, as shown in FIG. 4. For this purpose, a clamp receptacle 131 can be provided which is designed such that a clamp 600 cannot slip off to the side, for instance by reason of lateral walls or beads. This can be provided on both sides, as shown in FIG. 1.

[0108] In the embodiment shown in FIG. 1, the angle stop has, on the second body 200, an angle scale 245 and, on the first body 100, an angle pointer 145. The allocation of angle scale 245 and angle indicator 145 can also occur the other way round with a scale 245 on the first body 100 and an indicator 145 on the second body 200. However, in the exemplified embodiment shown in FIG. 1, the orientation of the work component 400, to be fixed, can be immediately read. In this case, the scale 245 is arranged along a circular arc about the centre of rotation P as the centre point. In this manner, the angle scale is not distorted as would be the case e.g. for a projection on a straight line. In the exemplified embodiment shown in FIG. 1, the second body 200 has a cylinder jacket section-shaped detent surface 240, in this case substantially following the scale 245 and in this case having a multiplicity of detent geometries 241. Provided on the first body is a counter-detent geometry 141 which can engage into one of the plurality of detent geometries 241 in order to latch the first body 100 and the second body 200 in a plurality of predetermined angle positions. The detent geometries 241 can be formed by recesses, depressions, notches or the like whilst the counter-detent geometry 141 can be formed by e.g. a spring-loaded protrusion, for instance a spring-loaded ball. As shown in FIG. 1, the detent direction can be perpendicular to an axis of rotation between the first body 100 and the second body 200 which renders the latching mechanism very flat and does not present an obstacle when working with the angle stop. In the embodiment shown in FIG. 1, detent geometries 241 and counter-detent geometry/geometries 141 are provided so that the predetermined angle positions have the following angles: 0 degrees, +/−15 degrees, +/−22.5 degrees, +/−30 degrees, +/−45 degrees, +/−60 degrees. If the counter-detent geometry 141 is provided at the level of the angle pointer, the corresponding detent geometries 241 are then located at the stated angle positions. A plurality of counter-detent geometries 141 can also be provided which facilitate latching even at angles located closely to each other if depressions 241 cannot be arranged immediately next to each other, but this is not shown in FIG. 1. The spring-loaded counter-detent geometry 141 can be prevented from deflecting out of the detent position by means of a lock in order to prevent unintended vacating of the set angle position. The lock can be provided directly on the angle indicator 145 and produced by means of a slide which can be provided with markings which indicate its position: latched/unlatched.

[0109] FIG. 2 shows a perspective bottom view of the angle stop in accordance with the invention with stop pins on a workpiece, which does not have angled edges, in the mounted state. Instead of a flat and planar workpiece contact surface 110 on the first body 100, contact pins fixed to the first body 100 can also assume the task of the workpiece contact surface 110. This is particularly important when the transverse direction in the z direction of the workpiece contact surface 100 of the first body is not sufficient to reliably reach over a curved, broken or bevelled edge. In particular when the transverse extension length in the z direction of the contact surface 110 is smaller than a curved transition between the workpiece surface 520 and workpiece side surface 510, an extension of workpiece contact surface 100 by contact pins 300 may help achieve secure contacting of the angle stop 1 on the workpiece side surface 510. The contact plane may be the same as that of the planar contact surface 110. FIG. 2 shows two contact pins 300 which are fixed at the bottom to the first body. It is also possible for more than two contact pins 300 to be provided. The contact pins can be spaced apart from each other in a grid dimension of a work plate so that the contact pins 300 can engage into depressions of a work plate, not shown here, at any detent position and the angle stop with the work component 400 fixed thereto and the fixedly clamped workpiece 500 can be fixed to a work plate, not shown here. In this case, the distance between the contact pins from pin centre to pin centre can be 96 mm or a multiple thereof in order to be able to engage into a corresponding multifunctional work plate with a grid dimension of 96 mm for depressions or recesses. The pins can also be arranged in a displaceable manner in order to be able to be set to other grid dimensions. The pins can have a diameter of 20 mm or, if they are provided with longitudinal channels or longitudinal recesses, a circular cross-sectional intrinsic curve having a diameter of 20 mm in order to be able to engage into corresponding depressions with an inner dimension of 20 mm. The pins can be produced from a polymer which has a small coefficient of friction compared with a receptacle in a work plate. The contact pins can also have a surface with increased adhesion which prevents slippage from the workpiece side surface 510. Different contact pins can be provided which the user can replace as required.

[0110] The contact pins can be provided in a releasable manner on the first body 100 and can be coupled and uncoupled, in particular screwed and unscrewed, as required. If the contact pins are not required, then these can be unscrewed and placed in storage receptacles 260 on the angle stop, as shown in FIG. 1. The storage receptacle 260 can have a depression or trough for receiving one or more contact pins and a clip, clamp or detent arrangement by means of which the contact pin 300 is held in the storage receptacle 260. The storage receptacle 260 having the arrangement locking the contact pin(s) 300 is for example configured such that the contact pin(s) 300 can also be removed and placed back using one hand whilst the user is wearing work gloves. It is also possible for a plurality of storage receptacles 260 to be provided, as shown in FIG. 1 and FIG. 5.

[0111] FIG. 3 shows a perspective bottom view of the angle stop in accordance with the invention on a workpiece, which has edges, in the mounted state. In contrast to the case shown in FIG. 2, in FIG. 3 the transition between the workpiece surface 520 and workpiece side surface 510 is somewhat sharp-edged. Therefore, the application shown in FIG. 3 does not require any contact pins 300. As can be seen in FIG. 1, FIG. 2 and FIG. 3, the first body 100 can have, in the workpiece contact surface 110, a bulge, by means of which a clamp 600 can engage past the workpiece as far as onto the workpiece top side in order to be able to engage e.g. into the recess 470. In this manner, the angle stop 1 can be fixedly clamped instead of via the clamp surface 132 or additionally via the coupled work component 400 to the workpiece surface 520 via a corresponding contact surface 420 of the work component 400 to the workpiece surface 520. Although not shown here, the bulge can also be provided on the workpiece contact surface 120 which lies opposite the workpiece contact surface 110 contacting the workpiece shown in FIG. 2.

[0112] FIG. 4 shows a perspective top view of the angle stop in accordance with the invention with a work component oriented with respect to a workpiece at a non-right angle. In this figure, the longitudinal extension direction of the work component does not correspond to the indicated direction but is rotated with respect thereto in the x-y plane. As can be seen in FIG. 4, the first body 100 and the work component 400 fixed to the second body 200 are oriented in an angle-defined manner with respect to each other in a rotation plane x-y about an axis of rotation in the z direction. The angle stop 1 is fixedly clamped by means of a clamp 600 via the clamp surface arrangement 130 to the workpiece 500 on the workpiece surface 520. The set angle position can be read on the angle scale 245 on the second body 200 via the angle pointer 145 on the first body 100, the angle position indicating the orientation of the work component 400 with respect to the workpiece side surface 510. The clamp surface arrangement 130 can be provided for each of the two opposite workpiece contact surfaces 110, wherein the clamp surface arrangement 130 allocated to the contacting workpiece contact surface 110 protrudes beyond the workpiece edge and is supported with the support surface 132 on the workpiece surface 520. The clamp contact surface 131 opposite the support surface 132 is then used for receiving a clamp 600, as shown in FIG. 4.

[0113] FIG. 5 shows a perspective top view of the angle stop in accordance with the invention with an extension 100′, which can be coupled, contacting a workpiece 500 with a work component 400 oriented at a right angle. The angle stop 1 has, with respect to the first body 100, an extension 100′, which can be coupled, in the longitudinal extension direction x of the first workpiece contact surface 110. The extension 100′, which can be coupled, likewise has a workpiece contact surface 110′ which continues in the plane of the workpiece contact surface 110 of the first body 100 and enlarges the entire workpiece contact surface of the angle stop 1. Coupling of the extension 100′, which can be coupled, can be effected via a receptacle 140 for coupling the extension 100′, which can coupled, to the first body, as shown in FIG. 1. The connection can be achieved via coupling pieces and via a screw connection.

[0114] Just like the first body 100 comprises the support surface 132, the extension 100′, which can be coupled, can also have a support surface 190 for supporting on the workpiece surface 520. This has a similar function to the support surface 132 of the first body 100 and not only assists with achieving contact on the workpiece side surface 510 but also with providing support points over a wide area for supporting on the workpiece surface 520, even in the case of relatively long workpiece contact surfaces on the first body 100.
