[0038] Embodiments of the mounting system 1 according to the invention are shown, for example, in the figures of the invention.
[0039] With reference to
[0040] As shown in
[0041] With further reference to
[0042] With further reference to
[0043] With further reference to
[0044] With further reference to
[0045] Preferably, the rigid cover plate 12 completely covers the receiving space 4. This provides a uniform appearance regardless of the nature of the back plate 3 and increases the stability and holding capacity of the mounting system 1.
[0046] Preferably, the covering layer 11 completely covers the rigid cover plate 12 on the side facing away from the back plate 3, so that the entire surface of the cover plate 12 is available for gently guiding and receiving the tablet 15 in the frame member 2 or the mounting system 1, respectively, and so that the entire surface of the receiving space 4 is also available for gently guiding and receiving the tablet 15 in the frame member 2 or in the mounting system 1, respectively. In this configuration, all openings and/or holes and/or receptacles and/or apertures of the back plate 3 can also be cached by the rigid cover plate 12. The enlarged covering layer 11 also creates a uniform surface in the entire receiving space 4.
[0047] As shown in the figures, the rigid cover plate 12 is particularly preferably magnetically connected to the back plate 3, wherein the rigid cover plate 12 is further preferably formed of metal and the back plate 3 comprises a magnetic material and wherein further preferably the magnetic material is formed as at least one discrete magnet 9 in a corresponding magnet recess 14 in the back plate 3. As shown in the figures, a plurality of magnets 9 can be provided in corresponding magnet recesses 14 in the back plate 3, wherein a better distributed attraction force between the back plate 3 and the rigid cover plate 12 is realized by the distribution of the magnets 9 in the back plate 3. The rigid cover plate 12 allows the number and size of the magnet recesses 14 to be maximized, where the complete covering of the back plate 3 by the cover plate 12 is particularly advantageous in this context.
[0048] The covering layer 11 can be bonded to the rigid cover plate 2 with an adhesive or can be laminated onto it. Due to its easier manufacturability, the adhesive connection is the preferred connection of the rigid cover plate 12 to the covering layer 11 according to the invention.
[0049] According to a preferred embodiment, the guide 5 extends along the entire inner side of the frame member 2. Thus, in particular, a better guide and/or a more stable holding of the tablet 15 in the frame member 2 or in the mounting system 1, respectively, can be achieved. It should be noted that, as explained above, the guide 5 according to the invention can have a guiding function when the tablet 15 is inserted into the frame member 2 and/or a holding function when the tablet 5 has been inserted into the frame member 2.
[0050] As shown in particular in
[0051] Preferably, the covering layer 11 can be made of leather or imitation leather and preferably have a roughened surface on a side facing away from the rigid cover plate 12. The roughened surface of the covering layer 11 has good guiding properties for the tablet 15 and at the same time protects the tablet 15 during its insertion into the frame member 2. In addition, a covering layer 11 made of leather or imitation leather provides a soft, pleasant appearance of the mounting system 1.
[0052] In a further preferred embodiment, the imitation leather consists of microfibers, in particular microfibers, with a roughened surface on the side facing away from the rigid cover plate 12. Microfiber materials, such as Alcantara leather, are easy to process and have the appearance and/or properties of a nonwoven fabric with a suede character. Such microfiber materials known in the prior art are available with various surface weights using ultra-fine polyester fibers. Alcantara leather is a preferred imitation leather of the invention due to its availability, variety of colors and processability.
[0053] In an equally preferred embodiment of the mounting system 1 according to the invention, the guide 5 is provided with a lining 6 which is designed as a sliding film, wherein the lining 6 extends at least in a portion of the guide 5, in particular in the portion of the guide 5 into which the tablet 15 is inserted in a sliding manner during its insertion into the mounting system 1. One possible extension of the portion is shown in
[0054] Sliding films are particularly preferred according to the invention, as they are particularly suitable for lining tribologically stressed surfaces and shapes, for optimizing transport and guiding tasks of guides and as edge protection.
[0055] Glued-on sliding films are also particularly preferred. By simply sticking on the sliding film, surfaces that slide against each other are protected during movement. The noise level is reduced by the smooth sliding action. The ease of processing (i.e. cutting to size using scissors) and the optional self-adhesive backing make it easy to use.
[0056] A Tribo-Tape sliding film from IGUS GmbH in Cologne, Germany, is the preferred sliding film.
[0057] Furthermore, according to a preferred aspect of the invention, which can be clearly seen in particular in
[0058] Furthermore, according to a further preferred aspect of the invention shown in
[0059] As shown, for example, in
[0060] A further preferred embodiment of the invention, as shown for example in
[0061] According to a further preferred aspect of the invention, as shown for example in
[0062] Further preferably, the frame member 2, as shown in
[0063] With reference to
[0064] The support can be formed in one piece or, as shown in
[0065] At least one additional screw 7 is provided for fastening the support to the back plate 3, the at least one additional screw 7 being guided through a corresponding through-hole 8 and fastening the support to the back plate 3.
[0066] Furthermore,
[0067] The embodiment with a space in the back plate 3 and/or in the frame member 2 can of course be used in conjunction with all embodiments of the invention, and the plug shown with the cable 17 can be inserted into the opening 20 of the cover 20 in all embodiments.
