Abstract
A motor vehicle is provided having at least one holding device, a holding device having a holding apparatus, and a holding apparatus for a guide device having two guides spaced apart from one another, in which the holding apparatus can be situated so it is movable, having one holding unit and one guide element per guide, which are coupled to the holding unit and using the holding unit can be coupled to the guides so it is movable, in order to move the holding unit along the guides, angle compensator or angle compensation means is provided that allows movement of one of the guide elements at least along the guide upon the adjustment of at least one of the other guide elements in relation to the guide.
Claims10
A holding apparatus to be coupled to a guide device, comprising:
- a first guide and a second guide spaced apart from one another in which the holding apparatus can be situated to be movable;
- a holding unit;
- a first guide element for the first guide and a second guide element for the second guide that are coupled to the holding unit, and adapted to couple the holding unit to the first guide and the second guide so as to be movable in order to move the holding unit along the first guide and the second guide;
- and
- at least one angle compensator that is adapted to provide a movement of one of the first guide element and the second guide element at least along one of the first guide and the second guide when fixing at least one of the first guide element and the second guide element in relation to at least one of the first guide and the second guide,
- wherein the at least one angle compensator includes
- a first angle compensator configured to allow a pivoting of the holding unit about at least two pivot axes when the first guide element is fixed within the first guide and the second guide element is moved, and
- a second angle compensator comprising a length compensation mechanism configured to allow movement of at least one of the first guide element and the second guide element by changing a length of the holding unit, the second angle compensator including a first portion that translates inside a second portion to change the length of the holding unit, wherein the first angle compensator is implemented as an elastic angle compensator.
A motor vehicle, comprising:
- a cargo space;
- and
- a holding device for the cargo space that is adapted to adjust a setting of holding spaces for holding cargo, the holding device comprising:
- a guide device having at least a first guide and a second guide that are spaced apart from one another and attachable to the cargo space;
- a holding unit;
- a first guide element for the first guide and a second guide element for the second guide that are coupled to the holding unit, and adapted to couple the holding unit to the first guide and the second guide so as to be movable in order to move the holding unit along the first guide and the second guide;
- and
- at least one angle compensator that is adapted to provide a movement of one of the first guide element and the second guide element at least along one of the first guide and the second guide when fixing at least one of the first guide element and the second guide element in relation to at least one of the first guide and the second guide,
- wherein the at least one angle compensator includes
- a first angle compensator configured to allow a pivoting of the holding unit about at least two pivot axes when the first guide element is fixed within the first guide and the second guide element is moved, and
- a second angle compensator comprising a length compensation mechanism configured to allow movement of at least one of the first guide element and the second guide element by changing a length of the holding unit, the second angle compensator including a first portion that translates inside a second portion to change the length of the holding unit, wherein the first angle compensator is implemented as an elastic angle compensator.
