[0083] The receptacle region 5 comprises a base 8, a rear part 9, and a front part 10. The front part 10 has a pair of round rods 19, running in parallel in the longitudinal direction LR of the holder 4, for forming front support elements 55 of a length of 80 mm, which have a mutual spacing of 80 mm, or according to a second embodiment of the holder 4, of 65 mm.
[0084] Said round rods 19 in an upper region of the front part 10 are connected by way of a bent feature that is oriented so as to be substantially transverse to the longitudinal direction LR. The bent feature is likewise formed by around rod 11.
[0085] The base 8 in a first portion has a pair of round rods 20 of a length of 20 mm said round rods 20 running so as to be mutually parallel and transversely (90) to the longitudinal direction LR in a first plane. The mutual spacing of said round rods 20 in this first portion of the base 8 is a=20 mm. As is explained in more detail below, these round rods form a first fastening region 51.
[0086] In a second portion of the base 8, the round rods 20 of the first portion of the base 8 transition into two round rods 21 of a length of 25 mm, or according to a second embodiment of the holder 4 of a length of 40 mm, that are outwardly buckled by 45, the mutual spacing of said round rods 21 steadily increasing as the distance from the first portion of the base 8 increases, wherein the round rods 21 of the second portion of the base 8 likewise run in the first plane so as to finally transition in a short arc into the round rods 19 of the front part 10 that run substantially in the longitudinal direction LR of the holder 4.
[0087] The rear part 9 in a first portion has a pair of round rods 22 of a length of 40 mm, said round rods 22 in a second plane running in parallel in the longitudinal direction LR of the holder and thus perpendicularly to the round rods 20 of the first portion of the base, and which have a mutual spacing of b=20 mm. As is explained in more detail below, said round rods 22 form a second fastening region 52.
[0088] A further pair of round rods 23 running in parallel in an oblique manner, specifically at an angle of 45 to the round rods 20 of the first portion of the base 8 and in a third plane, are disposed running in an intermediate part of the holder 4 between said round rods 22 of the first portion of the rear part 9 and the round rods 20 of the first portion of the base 8 in such a manner that said further pair of round rods 23 running in parallel, having a length of 28 mm, connect the round rods 20 of the first portion of the base 8 to those of the first portion of the rear part; the respective round rods thus in each case transition into one another in a short arc. The spacing of the round rods 23 in the intermediate part is also c=20 mm. As is explained in more detail below, these round rods form a third fastening region 53.
[0089] The round rods above the round rods 22 of the first portion of the rear part 9, by way of a short bend, transition into a pair of round rods 54, running in parallel, of the second portion of the rear part 8. The round rods 54 of the second portion of the rear part 9 are disposed so as to run obliquely, in the present case specifically at an angle of 45, to the round rods 22 of the first portion of the rear part 9, specifically so as to be directed inward, and thus running in a fourth plane. The spacing of these round rods 54 which have a length of 18 mm is also d=20 mm. As is explained in more detail below, said round rods 54 form a fourth fastening region 54. Said round rods of the second portion of the rear part 9, by way of a short bend, transition into round rods 25 of the end portion of the rear part 9. The round rods 25 of the end portion of the rear part 9 are disposed so as to run outward perpendicularly, that is to say at an angle of 90, to the round rods 24 of the second portion of the rear part. A constriction of the receptacle region 5 is formed on account of the short inwardly directed bend between the round rods 25 of the end portion of the rear part 9 and the round rods 24 of the second portion of the rear part 9.
[0090] The holder (
[0091] The fastening means 7 illustrated in
[0092] The regions 130, 140 of the clamping jaws that in terms of the clamping effect are effective on an object have in each case one plastic cover in order for the surface of the object to be protected.
[0093] The second clamping jaw 14 has a bore through which a lower portion of a bolt pin 63 (described in more detail below) is routed. Prior thereto, the bolt pin 63 is routed between the round rods of the first clamping jaw 13.
[0094] The second clamping jaw 14 is simultaneously a detent for the connector means 60 (described in more detail below) of the fastening means 7.

[0097] The fastening means 7 in
[0098] The fastening means 7 in
[0099] The connector means 60 in the manner described hereunder with reference to
[0100] The connector means 60 comprises a bolt 61 having a plate-shaped bolt head 62 and a bolt pin 63, already mentioned above. Moreover a detent plate 64, wherein the detent plate 64 and the bolt head 62 are specified for captively receiving a pair of round rods, running in parallel, of the first or second or third or fourth fastening region of the holder between the detent plate 64 and the bolt head 62. To this end, the bolt head 62 has two correspondingly shaped convexities or undulations 65 that run in parallel. The round rods 20 that form a first fastening region are received in the illustrated case of
[0101] The bolt pin 64 is also part of the screw device 15 (
[0102] The force of the helical spring 67 that is pulled over the bolt pin 63 in a portion between the clamping jaws 13, 14 that acts in the longitudinal direction L of the bolt pin 63 presses the first clamping jaw 13 against the detent plate 64. In the embodiment illustrated, a washer 68 is disposed between the helical spring and the first clamping jaw 13, so as to be able to transmit the pressure of the helical spring 67 to the first clamping jaw 13 in a homogenized manner. By way of the pressure exerted (in the direction of the arrow,
[0103] In the case of the clamping device 12 being fastened to an object, the object is guided between the regions 130, 140 of the clamping jaws 13, 14 that are effective in terms of the clamping effect. Tightening by means of the activation of the wingnut 68 is subsequently performed such that the clamping jaws 13, 14 are first converged counter to the resistance of the helical spring and subsequently counter to the resistance of the clamped object. The first clamping jaw 13 here presses against the detent plate 64 with an increasing force and an increasing clamping effect such that the round rods that form the first fastening region 51 are held increasingly tightly and are fixed between the detent plate 64 and the bolt head part 62. Consequently, fastening of the holder 4 to the objects as well as the simultaneous force-fitting fixing of the clamping device to the first, or to the second, or to the third fastening region, or to the fourth fastening regions, is establishable by way of the screw device 15.
[0104] It has proven particularly advantageous for the holder 4 conjointly with the connector means 60 to be rotatable relative to the clamping jaws 13, 14, in particular to be rotatable by 360 about a longitudinal axis of the bolt pin, as is illustrated.
[0105] It has furthermore proven particularly advantageous for the connector means 64 to be specified for being able to manually displace the fastening means 7 between each of the first to fourth holding positions. As long as the clamping device 12 is not fastened to an object, the clamping jaws 13, 14 can be manually converged, for example between the thumb and the index finger of a user and counter to the light spring force of the helical spring. On account thereof, the detent plate 64 is relieved of the pressure of the helical spring, on account of which the pressure plate 64 is divergeable from the bolt head 62 by a dimension M, in the case illustrated by 5.0 mm, in the longitudinal direction L of the bolt pin 61 along the constricted bolt pin portion 66. This state is schematically drawn in
[0106] On account thereof, the user is thus enabled in a particularly comfortable manner to provide different holding positions of the clamping device in order for the objects that specifically present themselves at the point of care to be able to be used in a flexible manner in order for the holder to be fastened.
[0107] In the embodiment of the container fastening system 1 illustrated, the fastening region plane, thus the plane in which the pair of round rods that form the respective fastening regions of the holder run in a holding position, is oriented so as to be parallel with an object plane, thus oriented in relation to a plane in which the objects run and to which the clamping device is fastenable in a respective holding position.
[0108] The parallelism of the fastening plane and the respective object plane has the advantage that the user who intends to fasten the container fastening system to an object at the point of care can vary rapidly take a decision pertaining to a suitable holding position, consequently the most suitable fastening region for fixing the fastening means 7 to the holder.
[0109]
[0110] This first use position corresponds to a particularly suitable position in which the container 2 is received so as to be substantially standing upright in the receptacle region of the holder 4. An imaginary longitudinal direction LRF of the container 2 herein is aligned so as to be parallel with the longitudinal direction LR of the receptacle region of the holder 4.
[0111] Image 6b shows the container 2 once the latter has been transferred from the first use position to a second use position.
[0112] The first use position differs from the second use position at least by way of the degree of the inclination of the container relative to the longitudinal direction LR of the receptacle region. The second use position in the case illustrated is enabled in that the depth of the receptacle region 5 of the holder 4, proceeding from the base 8 of the holder 4, initially increases toward the top in that the round rods 23 in the third fastening region 53 bend outwards before said round rods 23 as the round rods 22 in the second fastening region 52 run substantially perpendicularly to the round rods 20, 21 that form the base 8 of the receptacle region 5, so as then, as round rods 24, bending inward to form the fourth fastening region 54 (cf.
[0113] In the case illustrated, the degree of the inclination of the container, that is to say the angle of a longitudinal direction of the container LRF in relation to a longitudinal direction LR of the receptacle region, is 10. Consequently, the second use position corresponds to a further suitable position in which the container is received obliquely, so as to be inclined toward the front, in the receptacle region of the holder. The second use position thus enables the metering pump to be activatable also by a pump impulse that is manually applied from obliquely above in order for the in particular liquid, in any case pumpable, cleaning or disinfecting agent to be dispensed in the case of a container that is provided with a simple, manually activatable, metering pump.
[0114]
[0115] Moreover the height FH, the width FB, and the depth FT of the receptacle region of the holder are drawn. The depth FT is 9.5 cm. It is here assumed that the depth FT of the receptacle region is understood to be defined by the spacing in the x-direction of those components of the holder that delimit the depth of the receptacle region. In the case illustrated, this is the spacing of the round rod 11 that forms the bend of the front part of the holder from the round rods 22 that form the second fastening region. The height FH of the receptacle region is 9.5 cm and corresponds to the maximum extent in the z-direction of those components of the holder that form the receptacle region. The width FB of the receptacle region is defined by the spacing in the y-direction of those components of the holder that delimit the width of the receptacle region. In the case illustrated, this is the mutual spacing of the two support elements of the front part of the holder, said spacing in the case illustrated being FB=8.0 cm.
[0116] It can moreover be seen that only an extremely small proportion of the faces of the four vertically oriented visible sides of the container 2 is obscured by the holder. On account thereof, the user has the opportunity of being able to be aware of potential items of information that are present on the visible faces, such as printed labels which are attached to the visible sides. In the case illustrated, only approximately 5% of a respective face is obscured by the round rods of the holder, such that approximately 95% of the respective face is freely observable and visible to the user.
[0117]
[0118] A fastening means (not illustrated) can have, for example, a clamping device such as has been described with reference to
[0119] According to a further embodiment (not illustrated), the fastening regions 51, 52, 53, 54 illustrated in
