Abstract
In an apparatus (1) having an adjustable adjustment slider (13) and having a second part (9) provided for adjusting the adjustment slider (13), provision is made for at least one coupling counterpart (16) to be present in the adjustment slider (13) and for the second part (9) to have a coupling piece (31) that can be coupled to the coupling counterpart (16) so that, when the second part (9) is not actuated, the coupling piece (31) is uncoupled from the coupling counterpart (16) in the adjustment slider (13) and, by actuating the second part (9), can be coupled to the coupling counterpart (16) to enable the adjustment slider (13) to be adjusted.
Claims8
An apparatus (1)
- having at least one adjustment slider (13) displaceably guided along a first path of movement (12), and
- having at least one second part (9) provided for adjusting the adjustment slider (13), which second part (9) is adjustably guided along a second path of movement (17) and can be actuated and adjusted along the second path of movement (17) by hand,
- wherein said second part (9) has a coupling piece (31;
- 72) that is adjustable towards the adjustment slider (13) and can be coupled directly to the adjustment slider (13), and
- wherein the adjustment slider (13) has at least one coupling counterpart (16;
- 66;
- 79) that is configured for direct coupling to the coupling piece (31;
- 72) of the second part (9), and
- wherein, when the second part (9) is not actuated, the coupling piece (31;
- 72) of the second part (9) and the at least one coupling counterpart (16;
- 66;
- 79) of the adjustment slider (13) are uncoupled from one another, and
- wherein, when the second part (9) is actuated, the coupling piece (31;
- 72) of the second part (9) adjusted towards the adjustment slider (13) as a result of the actuation is directly coupled to a coupling counterpart (16;
- 66;
- 76) in the adjustment slider (13), and the adjustment slider (13) can be adjusted along the first path of movement (12) by means of the coupling piece (31;
- 72) of the second part (9), which coupling piece (31;
- 72) has been adjusted towards the adjustment slider (13) and directly coupled to the coupling counterpart (16;
- 66;
- 79) of the adjustment slider (13).
