Description

The invention relates to a holding device for electrical or electronic Switching units and / or signal units with touch panels, sensors and / or Luminous units which are arranged on a plate-shaped support.

Such electrical or electronic switching and / or signal units with Touch fields, sensors and / or lighting units are usually with one plate-shaped carrier on the devices to be controlled themselves or on Control panels arranged, which are wired to the devices to be controlled. This applies to numerous areas of application, such as the Data processing, communication technology, modern building technology, the security and surveillance technology and comparable facilities.

However, there is often work-related and functional reasons such as e.g. for touch fields or sensors for light control, the control of Blinds and air conditioning systems in buildings as well as for them Presence control in security areas, fire surveillance by Buildings etc. the need, the switching units and sensors as well like the control and signaling devices from the actual ones Separate operating equipment and use it in any suitable location Way to install appropriately.

From DE 297 13 960 U1 an electrical or electronic device for Placing on a mounting rail, with a housing, with at least one in Housing arranged circuit board and with in the longitudinal direction of the mounting rail pointing bus contacts for a data and / or power bus connection neighboring, placed on the mounting rail and corresponding Known electrical or electronic devices having bus contacts. This device is designed so that the circuit board can be replaced, without causing an interruption of the data and / or Power bus connection is coming. This is essentially achieved in that the housing is formed at least in two parts and the printed circuit board receiving upper part and a base part having the bus contacts a circuit board holder are provided. An alternative Embodiment is provided that the housing of the device at least one base part to be placed on the mounting rail and one with the base part Detachably connectable upper part, one on the base part PCB mounting and the bus contacts are provided and at removed upper part the circuit board in the circuit board holder is arranged. The two configurations of the electrical or electronic device offer due to the divisibility of the housing Possibility to easily replace a defective circuit board without that the bus connection is interrupted.

DE 38 25 120 A1 also discloses a device for an electrical device, preferably for a hair clipper, known for one optional mains or accumulator operation is suitable, with one in the device Accumulator is provided.

For ergonomic reasons, the hairdresser predominantly Hair clippers with a built-in battery used that when not in use in a device holder, which is also used as Charger serves. There are also charging stands in the device holder called - resilient contacts provided on the hair clipper by its own weight. Hair clippers should also be as possible be light and small, which, however, negatively affects the operating time with a Battery charge affects. It is particularly important that the The hairdresser will immediately lose energy during a haircut has an easy way to keep the device running without cumbersome and time-consuming manipulations. at the known device is therefore provided that an adapter via a Cable is connected to a power source and the device also means for easy detachable connection with the device. When the Energy of the accumulator is therefore only required Place hair clipper on the adapter and depending on Embodiment with a simple movement the adapter with the Lock hair clipper. This allows the Hair clippers can be supplied directly from the power source. The accumulator is charged at the same time.

From US 5 615 768 A a holder for remote controls is also known, such as they in the household for the operation of television sets and household appliances are widely used. This holder consists of an open on one side Housing made of a transparent material to hold the remote control. This is on the lower inner wall of the holder by means of a kind Velcro fastened so that the buttons on the remote control by a Magnifying lens on the opposite top of the holder can be viewed and operated in a simple manner.

The above-described holders and holding devices for electrical and / or create electronic devices or for remote controls certain relief for the handling of the devices in question, without however, significantly improve the control of the devices.

The invention is therefore based on the object of a holding device for electrical or electronic switching units and / or signal units with Touch panels, sensors and / or lighting units on a plate-shaped Carriers are arranged in a technically particularly simple and expedient way to improve that the switching and / or Signal units not only in close, direct connection with the controlling devices and devices are standing or in control panels of larger ones Control units are installed, but independent of a fixed one Installation according to the needs of the operator and operator Surveillance personnel as well as at certain points in a building or at the facilities to be controlled and monitored themselves can be arranged.

This problem is essentially solved according to the invention characterized in that the holding device as a clamp holder with a holding slot for formed the plate-shaped carrier of the switching and / or signal units and optionally with a support leg for use as a table device or with a wall bracket for wall mounting can be combined, and that the plate-shaped carrier several electrical conductor tracks to the touch fields, Sensors and / or lighting units as well as several contact tongues for Connection of the conductor tracks with a connector strip, which at the base arranged of the holding slot and either via a flexible foil conductor track with a board for a freely programmable electronic circuit for Signal processing and / or transmission or with a connecting line to a Control unit for signal supply to a signal unit can be connected.

Particularly advantageous developments of the invention are in claims 2 marked to 9.

The invention has the advantage that a holding device with the Features according to the invention in accordance with the respective operational Necessities in a simple manner either for wireless transmission and for the wireless reception of signals as well as for transmission and Receiving signals from wired networks (EIB, bus system) can be used. The intended electrical or electronic switching units and / or signal units with touch panels, Sensors and / or lighting units can be selected and as required connected to the base parts of the device by a simple plug connection become. Furthermore, the holding device by the optional connection with a support leg or with a wall bracket easily to the most varied Operating conditions can be adapted and can therefore be extremely flexible handle.

The carrier of the switching and / or signal units is usually made up of one single or multi-layer plate made of non-conductive material with at least a transparent electrically conductive layer with several conductor tracks consist and be made of glass and / or plastic.

The other advantageous features of the invention result from the rest the following description of the invention based on particular advantageous embodiments, as in connection with the drawing are described in detail.
