Abstract

REEL EMPLOYED IN ADJUSTING LOADS ON TRUCKS. The present application for a utility model basically consists of making the fixing of truck loads in general safer and more practical through the reel (1) that operates without the need to be fixed on the bodies, being composed of body (2), lever ( 3), handle (5) with lock (6) and spring (7), ratchet (8), hollow shaft (11) with central lock (13), secondary lock (14) with spring (15) and guides (16 ) and (17) for the direction of the rope. As it is completely mobile and does not need to be fixed, the reel can be inserted anywhere in the body or the load, adapting according to the disposition or volume of the load, which causes an easier adjustment, guarantees absolute safety during transport and prevents cutting the rope in some specific situations.

Description

"REEL EMPLOYED IN TRUCK LOAD ADJUSTMENT"

The present utility model application is essentially to make securing truck loads in general safer and more practical through independent equipment that operates without having to be fixed to the bodies.

Nowadays, the market offers some tools for the heavy automotive line in order to assist the driver or helper during the preparation of the load and to take the most practical and fast unloading.

As the state of the art, reel ratchets are preferably attached to bulk carriers and used for lashing loads by means of wire ropes or ropes. These appliances, although efficient, present problems of adaptation to the loads because they are fixed in the body without providing change of position or punctual application, generating the need to adjust the load in relation to the truck body without providing options during load preparation. . If it is not possible to use the reel ratchet at any point of a certain load, lashings are made on the truck's own body which, during the journey, need to be examined or retightened until the vehicle meets the final destination of the load, consuming time and generating I work for the driver.

Considering the difficulty posed by this equipment mobility deficiency and interested in solving the problem, an exclusive and fully movable reel was developed that allows its use in any point of the truck and has significant tightening, ensuring total rope lashing without risk. of detachment.

So that the purpose of this report is fully understood, all given as a non-restrictive example, it will be described clearly and objectively, with reference to the drawings listed below: Figure 1, exploded isometric view highlighting the components that determine the reel configuration;

Figures 2 and 3 in isometric views illustrating the assembled reel;

Figure 4, isometric view depicting the performance of the reel on a conventional rope fragment;

Figures 5 and 6, side sectional view defining the operating principle of the reel;

Figures 7 and 8 in side views illustrating the method of detaching the first lock from the reel ratchet;

Figure 9, sectional side view of the reel demonstrating the spacing of the second lock related to the ratchet lock;

The reel (1) in question, illustrated in figures 1, 2 and 3, is made of optionally stainless metal and consists basically of body (2), lever (3), handle (5) with lock (6) and spring (7 ), ratchet (8), hollow shaft (11) provided with central locking (13), secondary lock (14) with spring (15) and guides (16) and (17) for rope direction.

The working principle of the reel (figure 4) is to insert the rope (19) between the guides (16) and (17) and the central socket (13) belonging to the hollow shaft (11), proceeding with the manual displacement of the lever. (3) (indicated by the arrow) charged with moving the ratchet (8) and shaft (11) simultaneously, winding the rope and producing the required tightening in a controlled manner. The ratchet (8) is directly responsible for transmitting the circular motion to the shaft (11) by linking them both through the channel (12) at the end of the shaft and the central socket (9) belonging to the ratchet (best viewed on figure 1).

The movement and locking of the ratchet and shaft also depend on two locks, one arranged on the lever (3) and a second one installed on the equipment body (2). The first lock (6) attached to the lever, shown in figure 5, consists of a spring (7) and has the function of moving the ratchet and the shaft to wrap the rope by contacting the lock with the vertical flank of a teeth (10) attached to the ratchet (8). The secondary lock (14) disposed on the body (2) of the equipment likewise utilizes a spring (15) as a compression practice. As the ratchet rotates, the rounded sides of the teeth slide and press the secondary lock (14) against its spring (15) which, in response, pushes the lock in the opposite direction by inserting it into each space between the ratchet teeth (indicated by arrows), thus preventing the shaft and ratchet from receding and eventually releasing the rope.

The lever then reaches its travel limit and must manually resume to the starting point if the rope needs to be stretched further. In this step (figure 6), both locks work in reverse, that is, the lock (6) belonging to the lever (3) slides along the rounded sides of the teeth (10) of the ratchet (8) (indicated by the arrows) while the Secondary lock (14) keeps the shaft and ratchet static due to its contact with the vertical flank of one of the teeth.

The rope detachment and removal process also shows some particularities. In figures 7, 8 and 9 this process is schematic by moving both ratchet locks apart by moving the lever (3) to its limit, followed by the manual pressing of the handle (5) (indicated by the arrows in figure 7). which instinctively raises the lock (6), thus allowing the lever to be moved to the lock (18) where the handle is sequentially released (indicated by the arrows in figure 8) and the lock engages due to the spring return (7). ). When the lock (6) is suitable for the crimp (18) away from the ratchet teeth, the secondary lock (14) is simultaneously distanced by compression by the lever itself (3) due to the existence of a shoulder (4) at its lower end, finally releasing the ratchet and the action shaft of both latches. After this procedure is performed, the rope is released spontaneously, leaving the operator or driver only to untie it and remove the equipment.

The shapes of the guides (16) and (17) are also strategically defined as preventing the reel from tilting while tightening the rope, keeping the equipment stable and aligned ensuring its absolute performance.

Because it is fully mobile and does not need to be fixed, the reel can be inserted anywhere in the body or load, adapting to the arrangement or volume of the load, which makes adjustment easier, ensures absolute safety during transport and prevents rope cutting in some specific situations. Similarly the development of new formats with unique designs and lines can be applied in the project always keeping its inventive principle.
