It is recessed in the panel receptacle 3 and, in the exemplary embodiment, does not protrude from its foremost surface 4 (FIG. 4), but rather is flush with the outside. At the same time, a flush arrangement with the front surface 5 of the housing 6 of the printing press 1 is also provided.

They are arranged relative to one another in accordance with the permanent magnets 10. They can be embedded flush in the material of the floor 11 or, if this is desired, also protrude somewhat. The aforementioned holding of the control panel 2 by the permanent magnets 10 relates at least essentially only to the direction of disassembly.

In the exemplary embodiment, this cable duct 25 can accommodate approximately half of the cable 9. In order that this cannot fall out of the channel 25, at least one transversely projecting retaining tongue 26 is provided on each of the three sections of this cable channel 25, in particular integrally formed on it.

Because, according to FIG. 4, the longitudinal side walls 28 and 29 of the panel receptacle 3 are shorter than the transverse walls 19 and 20, the operating panel 20 can also be grasped at this top opening 27. The same is also possible on the underside. In this way, you can hold the control panel 2 and pull it out of the housing 6 of the printing press 1 if necessary. The shortened longitudinal side walls 28 and 29 are also expedient for insertion.
  • Another possibility of removing the control panel 2 from the panel holder can be provided, for example, by accommodating the control panel 2 in the panel holder 3 so that it can be tilted slightly, so that, for example, pressing the lower area overcomes the magnetic adhesion and then the control panel 2 decreases from the tilted position.

Description

Die Erfindung bezieht sich auf eine Druckmaschine mit einem Bedienungspanel, bei der das Gehäuse o.dgl. eine Panelaufnahme zur Aufnahme des abnehmbaren Bedienungspanels aufweist, wobei das Bedienungspanel über ein Kabel oder mindestens einen Infrarotsender kabellos mit den zu steuernden Komponenten der Druckmaschine verbunden ist.The invention relates to a printing press with an operating panel, in which the housing or the like. has a panel mount for receiving the removable control panel, the control panel being connected wirelessly to the components of the printing press to be controlled via a cable or at least one infrared transmitter.

Aus der JP-A-63 276 582 ist eine Druckmaschine gattungsgemäßer Art bekannt geworden, bei der ein mittels eines Kabels angeschlossenes Bedienungspanel innerhalb einer Aussparung des Gehäuse angeordnet und aus letzterem herausnehmbar gestaltet ist.From JP-A-63 276 582 a printing machine of the generic type has become known, in which an operating panel connected by means of a cable is arranged within a recess in the housing and is designed to be removable from the latter.

Als nachteilig ist dabei anzusehen, daß keine Fixierung der Tastatur im Gehäuse beschrieben wird, so daß sie sich beispielsweise beim Transport unerwünschterweise von der Schreibmaschine lösen kann.A disadvantage here is that no fixation of the keyboard in the housing is described, so that it can be detached from the typewriter, for example, during transport.

Es liegt infolgedessen die Aufgabe vor, eine Druckmaschine mit einem Bedienungspanel so auszubilden, daß es nicht aus seiner Panelaufnahme herausfallen kann.It is therefore the task of designing a printing press with an operating panel in such a way that it cannot fall out of its panel holder.

Zur Lösung dieser Aufgabe wird erfindungsgemäß vorgeschlagen, daß die Druckmaschine mit einem Bedienungspanel gemäß dem kennzeichnenden Teil des Anspruchs 1 ausgebildet ist.To achieve this object, it is proposed according to the invention that the printing press is designed with an operating panel according to the characterizing part of claim 1.

Die Erfindung kennzeichnet sich dadurch, daß das Bedienungspanel mittels wenigstens eines Magneten zumindest in Ausziehrichtung in der Panelaufnahme fixiert ist. Wenn man das abgenommene Bedienungspanel in die Panelaufnahme einsteckt, so werden bei Erreichen der Montageendlage die magnetischen Kräfte wirksam und sie halten dann das Bedienungspanel zumindest in Einsteckrichtung rüttelfest an seinem Platz. Andererseits sind die Magnetkräfte so gewählt, daß man das Bedienungspanel leicht abnehmen kann. Im übrigen sind Magnetbefestigungen nicht nur preiswert und einfach in der Handhabung, sondern auch sehr robust. Nachdem man nun bei dieser Druckmaschine das Bedienungspanel abnehmen und die Druckmaschine an einem von der Druckmaschine separaten Ort bedienen kann, ist immer gewährleistet, daß alle Tasten u.dgl. des Bedienungspanels stets gut zugänglich sind und alle Ablesungen optimal vorgenommen werden können. Andererseits kann man aber bei optimaler Aufstellung der Druckmaschine das Bedienungspanel in der Druckmaschine belassen und diese in gleicher Weise bedienen wie eine Druckmaschine mit fest integriertem Bedienungspanel. Dabei bilden das Gehäuse der Druckmaschine und das Bedienungspanel optisch eine Einheit. Um das Bedienungspanel magnetisch in der Panelaufnahme halten zu können, sieht die Erfindung vor, daß bei einer aus Kunststoff oder Aluminium bestehenden Panelaufnahme im Bereich jedes Magneten des Bedienungspanels ein Metalleinsatz aus ferromagnetischem Material in den Kunststoff oder das Aluminium der Panelaufnahme eingebettet ist. Vorzugsweise handelt es sich dabei um jeweils ein Plättchen, dessen Größe auf die Abmessungen des zuzuordnenden Magneten abgestimmt ist. Dieses Metall- oder Eisenplättchen kann bündig in den Kunststoff eingelassen werden oder von diesem sogar noch etwas überzogen sein soweit dies die magnetische Haftung nicht beeinträchtigt.The invention is characterized in that the control panel is fixed in the panel receptacle at least in the pull-out direction by means of at least one magnet. If you insert the removed control panel into the panel holder, the magnetic forces become effective when the assembly end position is reached and they then hold the control panel in place, at least in the direction of insertion. On the other hand, the magnetic forces are chosen so that you can easily remove the control panel. In addition, magnetic fasteners are not only inexpensive and easy to use, but also very robust. After removing the control panel from this printing press and operating the printing press at a location separate from the printing press, it is always guaranteed that all buttons and the like. of the control panel are always easily accessible and all readings can be made optimally. On the other hand, if the printing press is optimally positioned, the control panel can be left in the printing press and operated in the same way as a printing press with a permanently integrated control panel. The housing of the printing press and the control panel form a single unit. In order to be able to hold the control panel magnetically in the panel receptacle, the invention provides that in the case of a panel receptacle made of plastic or aluminum, a metal insert made of ferromagnetic material is embedded in the plastic or the aluminum of the panel receptacle in the area of each magnet of the control panel. This is preferably a small plate, the size of which is matched to the dimensions of the magnet to be assigned. This metal or iron plate can be embedded flush in the plastic or even covered by it as far as this does not affect the magnetic adhesion.

Wenn man mit abgenommenem Bedienungspanel arbeitet, so kann man die Daten, welche man über die Bedienung dieses Panels eingibt, entweder über ein entsprechendes Kabel an die Druckmaschine weiterleiten oder in der bei Fernbedienung bekannten Art über zumindest einen Sender, insbesondere Infrarotsender übermitteln. Im letzteren Falle muß natürlich in der Druckmaschine mindestens ein entsprechender Empfänger vorhanden sein.If you work with the control panel removed, you can either forward the data that you enter via the operation of this panel to the printing press via a corresponding cable or transmit it in the manner known for remote control via at least one transmitter, in particular infrared transmitter. In the latter case, of course, there must be at least one corresponding receiver in the printing press.

Eine weitere Ausgestaltung der Erfindung ergibt sich aus Anspruch 2. Wenn man demgemäß den oder die Permanentmagnete am Boden des kastenförmiges Bedienungspanels anbringt, so hat dies den Vorteil, daß man das Panel überall dort "anheften" kann, wo ein ferromagnetischer Untergrund ist. Dies bezieht sich bspw. auch auf die vorerwähnten Service- oder Reparaturarbeiten. Falls sich an der Seite oder an der Rückwand der Druckmaschine während dieser Arbeiten eine geeignete Stelle zum Anheften des Bedienungspanels befindet, so kann man es dort bis zur Beendigung der Arbeiten anbringen. Denkbar ist stattdessen auch das Festhalten des Bedienungspanels an irgendeinem metallenem Gestell o.dgl., auf welchem die Druckmaschine steht. Auf jeden Fall kann der Monteur dieses Bedienungspanel immer günstig plazieren und sich dadurch seine Arbeit sehr erleichtern bzw. diese schneller durchführen.A further embodiment of the invention results from claim 2. If one accordingly attaches the permanent magnet or magnets to the bottom of the box-shaped control panel, this has the advantage that the panel can be "tacked" wherever there is a ferromagnetic surface. This also applies, for example, to the aforementioned service or repair work. If there is a suitable location on the side or on the rear wall of the printing press for attaching the control panel during this work, it can be attached there until the work is finished. Instead, it is also conceivable to hold the control panel to any metal frame or the like on which the printing press is located. In any case, the fitter can always place this control panel cheaply and thus make his work much easier or perform it faster.

Aus verschiedenen Gründen, insbesondere auch aus Kostengründen, ist es von besonderem Vorteil, daß jeder Permanentmagnet aus einer Magnetfolie besteht. Solche Magnetfolien sind käuflich erwerbbar und bedürfen somit keiner näheren Erläuterung. Auf jeden Fall haben sie den Vorteil einer preisgünstigen Montage und sie können auch leicht durch neue ersetzt werden.For various reasons, in particular also for reasons of cost, it is particularly advantageous that each permanent magnet consists of a magnetic film. Such magnetic foils can be purchased and therefore do not require any further explanation. In any case, they have the advantage of inexpensive installation and they can also be easily replaced with new ones.

Gemäß Anspruch 4 ist es in zweckmäßiger Weise möglich entweder die Magnete am Boden des Bedienungspanels bündig einzulassen oder aber zur Bildung von Füßen die Magnete über den Boden vorstehen zu lassen.According to claim 4, it is expediently possible either to insert the magnets flush on the bottom of the control panel or to let the magnets protrude above the floor to form feet.

Eine weitere bevorzugte Ausführungsform der Erfindung ergibt sich aus Anspruch 5. Demnach ist die Panelaufnahme ein hohler Kasten, der gewissermaßen durch die Vorderseite des eingesetzten Bedienungspanels verschlossen wird. Aus montagetechnischen Gründen ist es aber sehr vorteilhaft, wenn diese Panelaufnahme entweder einen umlaufenden Befestigungsrand aufweist oder aber zumindest zwei nach entgegengesetzten Seiten vorstehende Befestigungsränder oder - lappen. An diesen befinden sich bspw. Durchgangsbohrungen zum Anbringen von Befestigungsschrauben mit deren Hilfe die Panelaufnahme am Gestell o.dgl. der Druckmaschine befestigt wird. Außerdem kann man den oder die Befestigungsränder so dimensionieren, daß auch eine optisch günstige Anpassung an die Druckmaschine vorgenommen werden kann. Über den rückwärtigen Kabeldurchbruch wird das Kabel des Bedienungspanels ins Innere der Druckmaschine geführt.A further preferred embodiment of the invention results from claim 5. Accordingly, the panel receptacle is a hollow box, which is, as it were, closed by the front of the control panel used. For reasons of assembly technology, however, it is very advantageous if this panel receptacle either has a circumferential fastening edge or at least two fastening edges or tabs projecting on opposite sides. There are, for example, through holes for attaching fastening screws with the aid of which the panel mount on the frame or the like. the printing press is attached. In addition, one or more of the fastening edges can be dimensioned such that an optically favorable adaptation to the printing press can also be made. The cable of the control panel is led into the interior of the printing press via the rear cable opening.

Eine weitere Ausgestaltung der Erfindung beschreibt Anspruch 6. Das dort erwähnte, im wesentlichen quaderförmige Gehäuse kann je nach Empfindlichkeit der einzelnen Komponenten mehr oder weniger dicht geschlossen sein. Auf jeden Fall muß es eine ausreichende Stabilität aufweisen damit es ggf. auch einem rauhen Betrieb widersteht.A further embodiment of the invention is described in claim 6. The substantially cuboid housing mentioned there can be more or less tightly closed depending on the sensitivity of the individual components. In any case, it must have sufficient stability so that it can withstand rough operation.

Sofern man auf eine kabellose Übertragung verzichtet und stattdessen die Verbindung der Druckmaschine und des Bedienungspanels über ein Kabel vorsieht, so muß dieses, um die Vorteile der erfindungsgemäßen Ausbildung voll ausschöpfen zu können, eine gewisse Mindestlänge von bspw. 80 bis 100 cm aufweisen. In manchen Fällen bspw. wenn man das Bedienungspanel bei Servicearbeiten an einer Seitenwand oder der Rückseite der Druckmaschine "anheftet", reicht natürlich ein wesentlich kürzeres Kabel aus. Das Einsetzen des Bedienungspanels in die Panelaufnahme gestaltet sich aber um so schwieriger je länger das Kabel ist. Insofern ist es von ganz besonderem Vorteil, daß am Boden des Bedienungspanels in dessen Randbereich ein sich über wenigstens drei Seiten erstreckender Kabelkanal vorhanden ist. In diesem Kabelkanal kann man das Kabel oder auch nur eine Teillänge bspw. die halbe Länge des Kabels unterbringen, so daß man in den Fällen, in denen man das Bedienungspanel in unmittelbarer Nähe der Druckmaschine bedient, lediglich eine Teillänge aus der Druckmaschine herauszieht. Dadurch wird einerseits das Arbeiten durch das Kabel nicht behindert und andererseits das Kabel geschützt. Desweiteren ist das Zurückbringen des Bedienungspanels bei lediglich teilweise herausgezogenem Kabel besonders einfach.If a wireless transmission is dispensed with and instead the printing machine and the control panel are connected via a cable, this must have a certain minimum length of, for example, 80 to 100 cm in order to be able to fully exploit the advantages of the design according to the invention. In some cases, for example, if you "pin" the control panel to a side wall or the back of the press during service work, a much shorter cable is of course sufficient. The insertion of the Operating panels in the panel mount are more difficult the longer the cable is. In this respect, it is of particular advantage that a cable duct extending over at least three sides is provided on the bottom of the control panel in the edge region thereof. In this cable duct, the cable or only a partial length, for example half the length of the cable, can be accommodated, so that in cases where the control panel is operated in the immediate vicinity of the printing press, only a partial length is pulled out of the printing press. Working on the one hand is not hindered by this, and on the other hand the cable is protected. Furthermore, it is particularly easy to bring back the control panel when the cable is only partially pulled out.

Es stellt eine wesentliche Verbesserung dieser Ausgestaltung dar, daß sich gemäß Anspruch 8 an jedem der mindestens drei Teilstücke des Kabelkanals wenigstens eine quer vorstehende Warze, Haltezunge o.dgl. für das Kabel befindet. Das Kabel wird in den Kabelkanal eingelegt und im Bereich jeder Haltezunge unter diese geschoben. Sie verhindert dann das Herausfallen des Kabels durch dessen Eigengewicht. Andererseits läßt sich aber das Kabel, falls man dessen gesamte Länge benötigt, leicht an den Haltezungen vorbei aus dem Kabelkanal herausnehmen.It is a significant improvement of this embodiment that at least one transversely projecting wart, retaining tongue or the like on each of the at least three sections of the cable duct. for the cable. The cable is inserted into the cable duct and pushed under it in the area of each retaining tongue. It then prevents the cable from falling out due to its own weight. On the other hand, if the entire length is required, the cable can easily be removed from the cable duct past the retaining tongues.

Wenn das Bedienungspanel herausgenommen und an geeigneter Stelle angesetzt worden ist, so muß das Kabel seitlich am Gehäuse austreten, damit das Anheften mit Hilfe der Magnete problemlos vorgenommen werden kann. Andererseits ist es aber nicht besonders praktisch, wenn beim Zurückbringen des Bedienungspanels in die Panelaufnahme das Kabel seitlich austritt. Um nun auch insoweit eine Verbesserung zu schaffen, sieht eine Weiterbildung gemäß Anspruch 9 vor, daß eine Gehäuseöffnung des Bedienungspanels für das Kabel zur Datenübertragung teilweise mindestens einer der Seitenwände und teilweise dem Boden zugeordnet ist. Beim externen Benutzen des Bedienungspanels kann das Kabel somit seitlich aus dessen Gehäuse austreten, während beim Zurückbringen des Bedienungspanels in die Panelaufnahme das Kabel etwas verschwenkt wird, so daß es nunmehr an der Rückseite des Bedienungspanel-Gehäuses austritt.When the control panel has been removed and placed at a suitable point, the cable must come out of the side of the housing so that the magnets can be used to attach it. On the other hand, it is not particularly practical if the cable emerges from the side when the control panel is returned to the panel holder. In order to create an improvement in this regard, a further development according to claim 9 provides that a housing opening of the control panel for the cable for data transmission partially at least one of the side walls and is partially assigned to the ground. When the control panel is used externally, the cable can therefore move sideways emerge from its housing, while the cable is pivoted somewhat when the control panel is returned to the panel receptacle, so that it now emerges from the rear of the control panel housing.

Bei der Druckmaschine 1 der Figuren 1 und 2 handelt es sich um einen sog. Thermotransferdrucker. Er besitzt ein relativ kompaktes quaderförmiges Gehäuse. Am unteren Ende dieses Gehäuses befindet sich beim Ausführungsbeispiel ein Bedienungspanel 2, welches zumindest beim Transport aber auch in vielen Benutzungsfällen der Druckmaschine in einer Panelaufnahme 3 befindet. Es ist versenkt in der Panelaufnahme 3 untergebracht und steht beim Ausführungsbeispiel über dessen vorderste Fläche 4 (Figur 4) nicht vor, sondern schließt damit außen bündig ab. Zugleich ist auch eine bündige Anordnung mit der Vorderfläche 5 des Gehäuses 6 der Druckmaschine 1 vorgesehen. Gemäß Figur 1 ist beim Ausführungsbeispiel der Druckmaschine 1 der Großteil dieser Vorderfläche 5 als Klappe ausgebildet, welche um obere Lager 7 und 8 hochschwenkbar ist.The printing press 1 in FIGS. 1 and 2 is a so-called thermal transfer printer. It has a relatively compact cuboid housing. At the lower end of this housing there is an operating panel in the exemplary embodiment 2, which is located in a panel receptacle 3 at least during transport but also in many cases of use of the printing press. It is recessed in the panel receptacle 3 and, in the exemplary embodiment, does not protrude from its foremost surface 4 (FIG. 4), but rather is flush with the outside. At the same time, a flush arrangement with the front surface 5 of the housing 6 of the printing press 1 is also provided. According to FIG. 1, in the exemplary embodiment of the printing press 1, the majority of this front surface 5 is designed as a flap which can be swung up about the upper bearings 7 and 8.

Gemäß Figur 5 befinden sich an der Vorderseite oder Bedienseite des Bedienungspanels 2 bspw. Bedienelemente, Anzeigeelemente und ein Display. Die genaue Ausstattung des Bedienungspanels 2 richtet sich nach den Erfordernissen und Möglichkeiten der Druckmaschine 1.According to FIG. 5 there are, for example, operating elements, display elements and a display on the front or operating side of the operating panel 2. The precise equipment of the control panel 2 depends on the requirements and possibilities of the printing press 1.

Bei aus der Drukmaschine 1 bzw. der Panelaufnahme 3 herausgenommenem Bedienungspanel 2 können die dort eingegebenen Befehle entweder drahtlos bspw. über Infrarotwellen, oder wie beim Ausführungsbeispiel vorgesehen, über ein Kabel 9 an die zugehörigen Stell- und Schalteinrichtungen der Druckmaschine 1 übermittelt werden. Im Zusammenhang mit der erfindungsgemäßen Ausbildung kommt es hierauf im einzelnen nicht an.When the operating panel 2 is removed from the printing machine 1 or the panel receptacle 3, the commands entered there can be transmitted either wirelessly, for example via infrared waves, or, as provided in the exemplary embodiment, via a cable 9 to the associated actuating and switching devices of the printing press 1. In connection with the training according to the invention, this is not important in detail.

Das Bedienungspanel 2 trägt an seiner Rückseite wenigstens einen, vorzugsweise aber gemäß Figur 7 zwei Permanentmagnete 10. Sie gewährleisten ein rüttelfestes Halten des Bedienungspanels 2 in der Panelaufnahme 3 und damit auch an der Druckmaschine 1. Da die Panelaufnahme 3 aus Kunststoff oder zumindest aus keinem ferromagnetischem Material besteht, wird das Anheften des Bedienungspanels 2 am Boden 11 der Panelaufnahme 3 mit Hilfe zweier Metalleinsätze 12 gewährleistet. Sie sind entsprechend den Permanentmagneten 10 relativ zueinander angeordnet. Sie können in das Material des Bodens 11 bündig eingelassen sein oder falls dies erwünscht ist, auch etwas vorstehen. Das erwähnte Festhalten des Bedienungspanels 2 durch die Permanentmagnete 10 bezieht sich zumindest im wesentlichen nur auf die Demontagerichtung. Ansonsten steckt das Bedienungspanel 2 einigermaßen paßgenau in der Panelaufnahme 3, so daß insoweit kein zusätzliches Festhalten oder Arretieren gegenüber Querbewegungen notwendig ist. Am Boden 11 der Panelaufnahme 3 ist noch ein Kabeldurchbruch 13 vorgesehen, über welchen die Kabelverbindung ins Innere der Druckmaschine erfolgt.The control panel 2 carries at least one permanent magnet 10 on its rear side, but preferably according to FIG. 7. They ensure that the control panel 2 is held firmly in the panel mount 3 and thus also on the printing press 1. Since the panel mount 3 is made of plastic or at least no ferromagnetic Material exists, the control panel 2 is attached to the bottom 11 of the panel holder 3 with the help of two metal inserts 12. They are arranged relative to one another in accordance with the permanent magnets 10. They can be embedded flush in the material of the floor 11 or, if this is desired, also protrude somewhat. The aforementioned holding of the control panel 2 by the permanent magnets 10 relates at least essentially only to the direction of disassembly. Otherwise, the control panel 2 is reasonably accurate in the panel holder 3, so that no additional holding or locking against transverse movements is necessary. At the bottom 11 of the panel receptacle 3 there is also a cable opening 13, via which the cable connection into the interior of the printing press takes place.

Die Permanentmagnete 10 sind gemäß Figur 6 am Boden 14 des Bedienungspanels 2 bündig eingelassen. Stattdessen können sie über diesen Boden auch vorstehen und dadurch Magnetfüße bilden. Hierbei ist es dann zweckmäßig, wenn man eine andere Anordnung wählt als sie aus Figur 7 hervorgeht, bspw. kann man jeder Ecke einen solchen Permanentmagneten 10 zuordnen. Beim Ausführungsbeispiel besteht jeder Permanentmagnet 10 bevorzugterweise aus einer an sich bekannten Magnetfolie.According to FIG. 6, the permanent magnets 10 are embedded flush on the bottom 14 of the control panel 2. Instead, they can also protrude over this floor, thereby forming magnetic feet. It is then expedient to choose a different arrangement than that shown in FIG. 7, for example. Such a permanent magnet 10 can be assigned to each corner. In the exemplary embodiment, each permanent magnet 10 preferably consists of a magnetic film known per se.

Aus Figur 6 ergibt sich desweiteren, daß das im wesentlichen quaderförmige Gehäuse des Bedienungspanels 2, welches allerdings an der Bedienungsseite einen seitlich vorstehenden Rand aufweisen kann, im Bereich des Kabelaustritts so gestaltet ist, daß bei extern anhaftendem Bedienungspanel 2 das Kabel 9 seitlich über die Wand 15 oder gemäß der Darstellung mit gestrichelten Linien (Figur 6) nach hinten aus der Rückseite dieses Gehäuses austreten kann, wozu zweckmäßigerweise ein über die Ecke 16 geführter Schlitz im Gehäuses vorgesehen ist.From Figure 6 it also follows that the substantially cuboid housing of the control panel 2, which, however, can have a laterally protruding edge on the operating side, is designed in the area of the cable outlet in such a way that the externally adhering control panel 2, the cable 9 laterally over the wall 15 or, as shown in dashed lines (FIG. 6), can emerge from the rear of this housing to the rear, for which purpose a slot in the housing, which is guided over the corner 16, is expediently provided.

Die Länge und Breite des Bedienungspanel-Gehäuses entspricht mit dem üblichen Spiel der lichten Weite der Höhlung 17 der Panelaufnahme 3 in Längs- und Querrichtung gemessen. Die Dicke des Bedienungspanels 2 ist so festgelegt, daß dessen Frontfläche 18 über die vorderste Fläche 4 der Panelaufnahme 3 nicht vorsteht, sondern damit bündig verläuft. Damit ist der Platzbedarf insoweit genau derselbe als bei einer Druckmaschine 1 mit fest eingebautem Bedienungspanel 2.The length and width of the control panel housing corresponds to the usual clearance of the cavity 17 of the panel mount 3 measured in the longitudinal and transverse directions. The thickness of the control panel 2 is determined so that its front surface 18 does not protrude beyond the front surface 4 of the panel receptacle 3, but rather runs flush therewith. In this respect, the space requirement is exactly the same as in a printing press 1 with a built-in control panel 2.

Beim Ausführungsbeispiel befinden sich an zwei gegenüberliegenden Kastenwänden oder genauer gesagt an den Kastenquerwänden 19 und 20 je ein quer abstehender Befestigungsrand 21 bzw. 22. Gemäß Figur 1 erhält die Panelaufnahme 3 dadurch eine Breite, welche derjenigen des Gehäuses 6 der Druckmaschine 1 entspricht. An jedem Befestigungrand 21 bzw. 22 ist beim Ausführungsbeispiel eine Durchgangsbohrung 23 vorgesehen, durch welche hindurch man die Panelaufnahme 3 am Gehäuse oder Gestell der Druckmaschine 1 anschrauben kann.In the exemplary embodiment, there are two transversely projecting fastening edges 21 and 22 on two opposite box walls or more precisely on the box transverse walls 19 and 20. According to FIG. 1, the panel receptacle 3 is given a width which corresponds to that of the housing 6 of the printing press 1. In the exemplary embodiment, a through bore 23 is provided on each fastening edge 21 or 22, through which the panel receptacle 3 can be screwed to the housing or frame of the printing press 1.

Aus Figur 7 ergibt sich, daß an der Außenseite des Bodens 14 des im wesentlichen quaderförmigen Gehäuses 24 des Bedienungspanels 2 ein Kabelkanal 25 angebracht ist. Er erstreckt sich beim Ausführungsbeispiel zumindest über die beiden Längsseiten und die vom Kabelaustritt abgewandte Querseite. Dieser Kabelkanal 25 kann beim Ausführungsbeispiel etwa die Hälfte des Kabels 9 aufnehmen. Damit dieses aus dem Kanal 25 nicht herausfallen kann, ist an jedem der drei Teilstücke dieses Kabelkanals 25 mindestens eine quer vorstehende Haltezunge 26 vorgesehen, insbesondere angeformt. Das Kabel 9 kann an der betreffenden Stelle federelastisch unter diese Zunge 26 gedrückt werden. Wenn jedoch die gesamte Kabellänge gebraucht wird, so läßt es sich leicht unter den Haltezungen 26 wieder herausziehen.From Figure 7 it follows that a cable duct 25 is attached to the outside of the bottom 14 of the substantially cuboid housing 24 of the control panel 2. In the exemplary embodiment, it extends at least over the two long sides and the transverse side facing away from the cable outlet. In the exemplary embodiment, this cable duct 25 can accommodate approximately half of the cable 9. In order that this cannot fall out of the channel 25, at least one transversely projecting retaining tongue 26 is provided on each of the three sections of this cable channel 25, in particular integrally formed on it. The cable 9 can be pressed resiliently under this tongue 26 at the point in question. However, if the entire cable length is used, it can easily be pulled out again under the retaining tongues 26.

Die Vorderfläche 5 des Gehäuses 6 der Druckmaschine 1 besteht, wie vorstehend ausgeführt wurde, größtenteils aus einem um eine obere horizontale Achse klappbaren Deckel. Er schließt außen bündig mit der verbleibenden feststehenden Vorderfornt ab. Um diesen Deckel hochklappen zu können, befindet sich an seinem unteren Ende eine Grifföffnung 27 oder Griffmulde. Weil gemäß Figur 4 die Längsseitenwände 28 und 29 der Panelaufnahme 3 kürzer sind als die Querwände 19 und 20, kann man über diese Grifföffnung 27 auch das Bedienungspanel 20 oben erfassen. Entsprechendes ist auch an der Unterseite möglich. Auf diese Weise kann man das Bedienungspanel 2 festhalten und bei Bedarf aus dem Gehäuse 6 der Druckmaschine 1 herausziehen. Auch für das Einsetzen sind die verkürzten Längsseitenwände 28 und 29 zweckmäßig.The front surface 5 of the housing 6 of the printing press 1, as stated above, consists largely of a cover which can be folded about an upper horizontal axis. It is flush on the outside with the remaining fixed front. In order to be able to fold this lid up, there is a handle opening 27 or recessed grip at its lower end. Because, according to FIG. 4, the longitudinal side walls 28 and 29 of the panel receptacle 3 are shorter than the transverse walls 19 and 20, the operating panel 20 can also be grasped at this top opening 27. The same is also possible on the underside. In this way, you can hold the control panel 2 and pull it out of the housing 6 of the printing press 1 if necessary. The shortened longitudinal side walls 28 and 29 are also expedient for insertion.

Stattdessen kann man in anderer, nicht gezeigter Weise an der Vorderfront des Bedienungspanels ausklappbare oder ausziehbare Griffe vorsehenen mit deren Hilfe man die Demontage und Montage des Bedienungspanels 2 vornehmen kann. Eine andere Möglichkeit der Herausnahme des Bedienungspanels 2 aus der Panelaufnahme kann bspw. dadurch vorgesehen werden, daß man das Bedienungspanel 2 geringfügig kippbar in der Panelaufnahme 3 unterbringt, so daß man bspw. durch Drücken auf den unteren Bereich die Magnethaftung überwindet und das Bedienungspanel 2 dann aus der gekippten Stellung heraus abnimmt.Instead, you can provide fold-out or pull-out handles on the front of the control panel in a different manner, not shown, with the help of which the control panel 2 can be dismantled and assembled. Another possibility of removing the control panel 2 from the panel holder can be provided, for example, by accommodating the control panel 2 in the panel holder 3 so that it can be tilted slightly, so that, for example, pressing the lower area overcomes the magnetic adhesion and then the control panel 2 decreases from the tilted position.
