Description

The The invention relates to a device for securing cargo, in particular for passenger cars with a loading zone according to the preamble of claim 1.

The Load securing for vehicles is an essential part accident prevention measures or measures for the reduction of accident consequences. In the passenger car sector is mainly general cargo such as suitcases, boxes, sports equipment or the like. transported, this piece goods typically on a loading zone of trained as a combined car passenger cars is and remains largely unsecured there. At abrupt speed changes of the passenger car such as heavy braking or heavy steering movements It often happens that the cargo on the Loading zone slips and endangering the vehicle and Driver leads. There are already many very serious accidents with high financial damages and personal injury been triggered.

to Avoidance of such damage due to slipping many suggestions have already been made How to secure the goods to be transported on the loading zone could. Especially from the field of cargo insurance for trucks are a set of solutions known, in which by means of clampable in the hold bracket or struts the goods located on the bed can be secured. These solutions are common the disadvantage that on the back of the truck corresponding holding devices for the bracket or struts must be appropriate to a corresponding tension the stirrup or struts opposite the estate to realize. Such holding devices are then common but not to the respective depending on the transported Goods adaptable to the changing nature of the goods, so that a high expenditure of time to secure the charge too is drifting.

Conceivable is also the use of between the walls of the Loading area tense nets, which are to be transported Clinging goods and stabilize them after tightening.

A others often for load securing on trucks The solution used is the use of so-called lashing straps, Although the flexible elements also attachment points on the structure of the truck, due to the flexibility of the belt but are easier to handle. Here is the belt set with one or more straps on the bed, wherein the lashing straps between body-side suspension points is strained. The disadvantage of this is the heavy wear of the straps through the tensioning process, which quickly leads to destruction straps or compromising their safety and again and again for insufficient load securing despite the use such lashing leads.

such Leave solutions known from the truck sector not or not comfortable for use with z. B. take over as a station wagon trained passenger cars. Either would have in the loading zone of such Combined passenger car visually and from the use disturbing additional facilities such as holding devices provided or the use would be made by the user of the passenger car a complex manual attachment of such security devices such as B. Restraint nets or the like., Experience has shown in Everyday then not be performed. Therefore stay in the case of passenger cars, the objects lying on the loading zone usually unsecured.

A solution for simplifying the load securing is from the EP 0 737 601 B1 in which a device for securing cargo is known such that a holding element is moved by means of a scissors-like device on a loading surface and supported on the vehicle side and on the charge side so that the charge between the holding element and edges of the cargo bed can be clamped. A disadvantage of this solution is on the one hand, the high mechanical complexity for the realization of the adjustment and, secondly, the lack of adjustment of the position of the holding element to the respective secured charge. The retaining element is moved substantially parallel to an initial configuration in the opposite direction to the direction of travel and therefore can not in its locking end position to z. B. adjust asymmetrically arranged on the cargo area objects that can be secured only very inadequate.

task The present invention is therefore a device for securing cargo to propose, which is easy to use and with the possibility exists, also irregularly shaped or asymmetrical to secure arranged objects in a loading zone.

The Solution of the problem of the invention arises from the characterizing features of claim 1 in Interaction with the characteristics of the generic term. Further advantageous Embodiments of the invention will become apparent from the dependent claims.

The The invention is based on a device for securing cargo, in particular for passenger vehicles with a loading zone, comprising Separating element between one when transporting objects occupied area and one during the transport of objects unoccupied area of the loading zone of the vehicle, wherein the at least a separating element has a plate-shaped basic shape and the loading zone is subdivided such that arranged in the loading zone Objects between the walls of the loading zone and the Separator held substantially absorbed slip-proof are. Such a generic device is characterized in accordance with the invention designed that the separating element is substantially linear and / or adjustable in its angular position relative to the edges of the loading zone and adjustable to the objects to be secured within the loading zone and determinable. Due to the linear adjustability of the separating element as well as the adjustment of the separating element with respect to its angular position relative to the objects to be secured can be an optimal Securing the objects to be secured also take place, if the items to be secured are irregular are shaped or arranged asymmetrically in the loading zone. For example, in an asymmetrically arranged object on the loading zone, the separator once linear in the direction be adjusted to the object, for example, until the separator The asymmetrically arranged object touched in sections. After touching the object can then Separating element in its angular position relative to the edges of the Change loading zone such that the object in both Directions of the loading zone is set so that he, for example in a collision or in a heavy braking of the passenger car can not slip anymore. This is compared to pure linearly shifted safety devices no significant improvement the determination of the object on the loading zone achievable, but in a further embodiment, a special comfort gain for the user of the device can then be achieved if that Separator depending on the location and shape of the secured Subject automatically his angular position accordingly adapts. This makes it possible for the user only triggers the beginning of the save action of the separator, without depending on the particular shape and arrangement of the objects to be secured have to pay attention and the partition then almost self the optimal position for securing the objects to be secured seeks or adjusts accordingly. this could even automatically done without the driver's intervention, for example by When starting the engine, the separator automatically the corresponding Performs adjusting movement and change its angular position and thereby possibly lying on the loading zone objects ensures accordingly.

Regarding the structural design, it is advantageous if the separating element adjustable on a vehicle-mounted base and by means of an adjusting device in its spatial Location is changeable. The base will be on the vehicle side For example, in the area of a rear seat or the like set and the separator by means of the adjustment shifted or twisted relative to the base. in this connection it is also conceivable in a further embodiment that the device on a charging-side seating device or on the walls the loading zone can be fixed. When fixing to a charging-side Seat device such as a rear seat is the adjustment of the separating element then primarily against the direction of travel, for example, a determination on a side wall of the passenger car in the loading zone then, for example, transverse to the direction of travel.

Farther It is conceivable that the device in the charging-side seating device, in particular in a rear seat or the like, or in the walls the loading zone is integrable. Such integration, for example in a rear seat it allows the size the device in the unused state to keep very low or seemingly to go to zero, as for example in a Rear seat behind the padding corresponding cavities be available for receiving the device in the uninvolved state can. Here it is conceivable that if the base in integrated the rear seat or the walls of the loading zone is, the separator in the unused state the load space side Completing the rear seat forms.

Furthermore, the separating element may consist of a plurality of plate-like individual elements which are slidably or foldably fixed to one another and with which the size of the separating element is adaptable to the dimensions of the loading zone and the objects to be transported. By such a change in the size of the separating element, which can be done manually or automatically, depending on the respective angular position and the size of the loading zone can be carried out an optimal adaptation of the separating element to the objects to be secured. In particular, with regard to the automatic adjustment of the size of the separating element, it is advantageous if the plurality of plate-like individual elements are telescopically displaced relative to each other. As a result, for example, after adjusting the securing position of the separating element by the telescopically displaceable individual elements, the position of the separating element in the loading zone further stabilized and to securing objects are substantially completely surrounded by the separating element.

In a first conceivable embodiment, it is possible that the adjusting at least one variable in its volume Adjustment element arranged between the base and separating element is and changes the position of the separating element relative to the base. Such variable in its volume adjustment, that by means of fluidic media, for example by means of gas supply or gas suction can be actuated, is a kinematic easy possibility of adjustment of the separating element relative to the vehicle-mounted base. Such a thing could vary in its volume variable adjustment For example, a pneumatically or hydraulically inflatable cushion or the like, that between the base and the separator is arranged and fixed to this. When inflating such a Adjustment element increases its volume and thereby displaces the separator relative to the fixed one Base. Conversely, by evacuating the interior of the adjustment the separating element are moved back towards the base, because by the negative pressure, the adjustment reduces its volume again and thereby retracting the separating element. For the leadership of the separation element alone reaches the appropriate Forming the adjusting element, for example, by appropriate Movement possibilities the linear adjustment of the separating element guaranteed. Also here is the change the angular position of the separating element very easy to reach because the adjustment by the occurrence of adverse forces the pressure control of the separating element to the object accordingly There will continue to inflate where a resistance occurs and thereby The angular position of the separating element is changed automatically becomes.

Conceivable It is also that as variable in its volume Adjusting a number of bellows-like elements are providable, depending on the introduced fluidic Pressure or fluidic volume different longitudinal extents taking. The bellows-like elements act here in terms of the above shaped as a pillow, in volume variable adjustment elements as a number of such between the base and separating element arranged pillows and increase so that the mobility and targeted displacement of the Separating element. For example, between base and Separator next to each other a number of such bellows-like Be arranged elements, each separately with fluidic pressure be tasked and overall the separating element away from the base shift or generate a negative pressure in the Bellows-like elements, the separator back in Retract direction to the base.

in this connection it is conceivable in a further embodiment that all bellows-like Elements can be acted upon by the same fluidic pressure, around the separator substantially uniform to press on the objects to be secured. This results in a substantially linear movement of the separating element based on the fixed base, at least as long as like no counter-pressure by the concern of the separating element on a object to be secured occurs. This is possible Achieve that the extension lengths of all bellows-like Elements in the extension direction of the separating element after application of the separating element to the objects to be secured in are essentially the same.

It However, it is also conceivable that the extension lengths of Bellows-like elements after the application of the separating element are uneven to the objects to be secured and the bellows-like elements with respect to the Angular position of the separating element to the position and dimensions of the take position adapted to be secured objects. For example, by controlling the fluidic pressure in the individual bellows-like elements independently be taken care of each other, that the separating element itself For example, based on the direction of travel of the vehicle in his Angular position twisted to the direction of travel relative to the base shifts and, for example, automatically in this twisted angular position on, for example, asymmetrically arranged objects approaches. This can be done even before the first touch the separating element with the object to be secured a corresponding adjustment the angular position of the separating element are made.

in this connection It is conceivable that the final position of the bellows-like Elements in the extension direction via a regulation of the pressure is adjustable in the bellows-like elements. These Regulation of the pressure is a simple and inexpensive Possibility to optimize the angular position of the separating element to adjust the position of the object to be secured.

But it is also conceivable that the end position of the bellows-like elements in the extension direction via sensors on the separating element and / or the bellows-like elements is adjustable. For example, by distance sensors in the region of the separating element before the extension of the separating element about after triggering a signal to secure objects on the loading zone, the position and size of the objects estimated approximately and the movement of the separating element be controlled by the adjustment accordingly.

at a variable in its volume adjustment can be a fuse of the separator in the reached end position concerning the security of the objects to be secured by keeping constant the volume of the variable in its volume Adjustment element can be made. For example, after the extension the separating element due to the change in volume of the adjusting element by closing a valve, the volume of the adjusting element held constant and thus the position of the separating element substantially kept constant over a longer period of time become. This is especially important for that after the fixing of the objects to be secured also over a longer drive secured the items remain without the adjusting its volume and thus the Separating element changes its position. This is natural also a prerequisite that the adjustment itself sufficient is leak-tight, so that by leakage no or no essential Change in the position of the separating element may occur and the adjustment even with loads, for example when Brakes did not change the position of the separator.

Especially It is advantageous that a return movement of the in his Volume variable adjusting element and thus of the Separating element by means of generating a negative pressure in the adjusting element can take place and therefore no additional elaborate Retraction mechanisms or the like required become.

Of course It is also conceivable that to guide the movement of the in its volume variable adjustment and thus the partition element relative to the base by means of the element between the base and separating element an arrangement of adjustable lever or guides is provided. Such a leadership secures the movement of the separating element further. Regarding the constructive implementation of such a guide However, it is also conceivable that to guide the movement the separating element relative to the base by means of in its volume variable adjusting element between base and separating element and / or ball elements can be provided on the separating element, which are themselves roll on the ground and / or on the walls of the loading zone. This is about the role and / or ball elements a Guidance of the separating element on the vehicle-side edges the loading zone, which often occurs in passenger cars are made relatively straight and therefore to the investment of Roller and / or ball elements are basically suitable. In particular by the support of the separating element opposite The surface of the loading zone can be a simplified shift of the separating element can be achieved in this way.

A another embodiment may provide that for guiding the Movement of the separating element relative to the base by means of in his volume variable adjusting between Base and separating element slide rails are providable, in which the Separating element is guided adjustable. Such a solution with slide rails comes especially with the original equipment of passenger cars with the invention Device for carrying, in which the slide rails equal to in the new vehicle can be installed and thus at the place of displacement of the separating element are available.

From It continues to benefit if needed to supply the in its volume variable adjustment with gas and / or negative pressure a pump and / or a vacuum generator is arranged, the and / or with the interior of the adjustment in gas-conducting connection stands. Such a pump may be electrically driven, for example and with little effort that for that in its volume variable adjustment required gas in particular compress in the form of ambient air and, for example, during the backup operation repeatedly gas in the adjustment track, possibly unavoidable To compensate for leakage.

Another preferred embodiment of the device provides that the adjusting device has a mechanically coupled arrangement of adjustable levers, which are arranged between the base and separating element and change the position of the separating element relative to the base. The mechanically coupled arrangement of adjustable levers is very widespread, in particular in the vehicle sector, for example in the case of flaps, doors or the like, and offers the possibility of implementing precisely guided movements in a simple and structurally uncomplicated manner. At the same time, the mechanical coupling of adjustable levers provides a very stable and insensitive to stress possibility to safely support the separator against loads, for example when braking or in the event of an impact of the vehicle against the base and thus to secure the objects to be secured according to the accident prevention regulations , It is advantageous if the separating element is arranged on the arrangement of levers such that an adjustment of the levers to one another allows a linear displacement and / or a change in the angular position of the separating element relative to the loading zone and the objects to be secured. Especially the independent change of Win Concentration relative to the linear displacement of the separating element can be realized simply constructively by means of separate joints. It is also conceivable here that the arrangement of levers has a multi-joint arrangement, in particular a three-jointed arrangement of levers, wherein in an advantageous embodiment in a three-jointed arrangement two of the joints can be arranged on the base of the device and a joint on the separation element.

Especially advantageous for the structural implementation of such joint arrangements and the achievable adjustment is when the levers of Multi-joint arrangement telescopically formed in several parts. Telescopic levers allow easy longitudinal displacement of objects arranged on the adjustable part of the lever such as the separator and thereby allow relatively large Adjustment paths. This can also be combined, for example, with that when adjusting the separating element, the lever opposite swivel the base while telescopically their Change length. Thus, the position of the separating element both by the pivoting and by the telescope similar Change in length of the lever changed and Altogether thereby relatively large displacement in a compact Construction of the adjustment can be achieved.

Farther is it possible that the adjustment of the Separating element during retraction and extension by a cable-like Device is made, similar to a cable conductor changed the length of the lever. In a cable conductor and also in the adjustment of the separating element in the above way mentioned is about a flaschenzugartige device a part of the telescopic lever thereby shifted that over a roller assembly extending rope or the like of the displaceable Part of the telescopic lever along the fixed Part of the telescopic lever moved or pulled and the telescopic lever is thus in its length extended accordingly. The end of the rope or the like engages the rear, in the direction of displacement of the telescopic Levers back part of the movable part of the telescopic Levers, wherein the roller assembly on the opposite End of the fixed part of the telescopic lever arranged is. This can be implemented constructively, for example, the cable-type device has a number of levers Pulleys and a winding mechanism, over a rope, a band or the like is running, with one end at the separator-side end of the lever and with its other End is fixed to the separator. The rope, the band or The like has a fixed length and is over the winding device with regard to its assignment of the partial lengths of the rope to the fixed part of the telescopic lever and the movable part of the telescopic lever changed. The winding device ensures that the telescopic Part of the telescopic lever relative to the fixed Part of the telescopic lever shifts while the hinged at the base of the device specified telescopic Lever is pivoted. This results in a displacement movement of the separating element substantially along a linear path, when the winding mechanism is fixed on the base side, the on it based, that the winding mechanism that the separating element or the the levers associated portions of the rope, band or the like. gegengleich wrapped. At the same time, the definition of one end the rope, band or the like on the separating element itself ensured that when changing the winding direction by the Winding mechanism a reversal of this extension movement of the separating element becomes possible, so that the separating element alone by the change the winding direction returned to its original position can be. This offers a structurally simple and simultaneously effective way to adjust the separating element due to the winding movement of the rope, the band or the like.

From The advantage here is if ever on the telescopic lever one Deflection pulley on each of the telescopically displaceable Parts of the lever is arranged. The pulleys form this together with the rope, the band or the like a kind of pulley, the alone due to the pulling on the tape from a drive of the movable Part of the telescopic lever causes and thereby depending on the design the roles optionally also a power boost allows.

to Avoid kinematic incompatibility of movement The individual parts of this adjustment, it may be beneficial be when between the winding mechanism and the separating element side End of the rope, band or the like. A spring mechanism for length compensation is arranged, which allows a corresponding length compensation.

From Importance for the stability of the position of the separating element also against loads, for example when braking or in a collision it is that the winding mechanism and so that the position of the rope, band or the like. For storage of the separation element can be blocked in an reached position. This can be, for example by a brake, but also simply by appropriate translation and the self-locking of the drive, for example, an electric motor respectively.

Both for the stability of the location of the separation element as well as for the accuracy of the guidance of the telescopic lever, it is important if the telescopic levers have such cross-sectional shapes, that a first portion of the lever guided in a second portion of the lever is displaceable. A corresponding guidance of nested profiles is easily possible and permanently stable and easy to operate.

Regarding the adjustment of the angular position of the separating element is of importance, that the separating element on a separating element-side joint of the lever arrangement is held tiltable such that the separating element in its angular position the arrangement of the objects to be secured is customizable. By such an additional joint for tilting the Trennelementes can be an automatic adjustment of the angular position of the separating element, which is independent of the sliding movement due the adjustment is possible. It is conceivable that the tilting of the separating element against a restoring force takes place, the separating element again in a neutral central position tilted when no more tilting forces due to the arrangement the objects act on the separating element. Such Generation of a restoring force can, for example, by a spring suc conditions, the bilateral deflection of the separating element is actuated from the middle position and thus the separating element returned to neutral neutral position when a burden of the separating element is canceled. Also it is natural conceivable that the respective tilt position of the separating element securable, in particular can be clamped, including, for example, appropriate clamps can be attached to the joint.

Especially with regard to the variable in volume adjustment, but also with respect to the mechanical adjustment of it Advantage, when disposed between the base and separator a cover is that the area between base and separating element completely or partially opposite completes the loading zone. Such a cover has the Advantage that the adjusting device in the extended state the separating element is not open and not pollute on the one hand and on the other, objects from the loading zone do not place in this adjustment and the adjustment can block. For this purpose, in another embodiment, the Cover the top and / or bottom of the area between base and disconnect separator.

Especially in view of the adjustment of the angular position of the separating element It is advantageous if the cover consists of several individual, independent mutually adjustable individual segments is formed, the side by side and / or are arranged one above the other. Such from individual segments formed cover can be the angle adjustment of the separating element easier to follow than running over the entire width of the cover uniform coverage.

For the stowage of the cover in unused state of the device It is advantageous if the cover like a roller blind with the adjustment of the Separating element ausrollbar and rollable is and thus after the take off in the actuated state of the separating element automatically rewinds when the divider is to the base is moved back. This can be done at the base and / or on the separating element winding devices for the cover be arranged.

in the Regard to the permanent usability of the variable in their volume Adjustment, it is advantageous if the cover of a Material is formed, which protects against damage by stitches or punctual loads is insensitive Lich and in their volume variable adjustment against damage secures from the hold.

Especially preferred embodiments of the invention Device for load securing shows the drawing.

In the 1 to 3 a first embodiment of the device according to the invention for securing cargo is shown in which a variable in its volume adjustment 8th of a number of bellows-like elements 5 is shown in the extended state in a perspective view. The same part numbers designate the same components or facts.

The device consists of a base plate 2 and a separator 1 which can be arranged in a loading zone, for example of a passenger car, which is designed as a station wagon. It goes without saying that the device can also be used in other vehicles.

The base 2 For example, it is fixed in the region of a rear seat of a passenger car (not shown) or let into the rear seat, so that the device forms the end of the rear bench seat to the region of the loading zone. In the retracted state of the device, the representation of the 2 Accordingly, the device occupies only a small amount of space inside the vehicle and, above all, does not affect the load in the area of the loading zone. Between the base 2 and the separator 1 , which is also approximately plate-shaped, is in the 1 the bellows-like elements 5 existing adjustment 8th to recognize, which is variable in their volume. These are the bellows-like elements 5 in a manner not shown with a pump 7 connected to a gas, for example, ambient air in the interior of the bellows-like elements 5 pumps or can pump out of these interior again. The bellows-like elements 5 For example, consist of an elastic material such as a rubber or a plastic and increase their volume at a pressure increase in its interior such that the individual ribs of the bellows-like elements 5 in the direction of displacement 22 shift and total over the force applied to the separator 1 this separator 1 move. Conversely, when evacuating the interior of the bellows-like elements 5 the separating element 1 again in the state according to 2 be transferred.

To better movement of the separating element 1 on the ground 3 reach the loading zone, are at the bottom and side surfaces of the separating element 1 ball elements 6 Arranged on the floor 3 the loading zone or a side wall, not shown 4 can roll off the loading zone and therefore the movement of the separating element 1 facilitate.

In the 3 is a situation when saving a round object here 10 shown, which is asymmetrically located in the loading zone of the vehicle and, for example, in the area of the corner from the back 9 the loading zone and the Be tenwand 4 is arranged. This can be achieved by the elastic compliance of the bellows-like elements 5 the separating element 1 so in its angular orientation relative to the side wall 4 or the back 9 the loading zone adjust that the item 10 not only to the back 9 is pressed, but diagonally in the corner of the side wall 4 and the back 9 is pressed. This is the round object 10 both in the direction of displacement 22 as well as fixed perpendicular thereto and can, for example, in the case of a collision or heavy braking neither in the direction of displacement 22 still move across it inadmissible. Such a change in the angular position can be adjusted automatically, for example, in that all bellows-like elements 5 be subjected to the same pressure and in the area of the plant to the object 10 located bellows-like elements 5 can expand less than those not in the area of the object 10 located bellows-like elements 5 , It is also conceivable that the respective bellows-like elements 5 in the area of the object 10 for example, via prior detection of the object 10 be subjected to pressure differently than the sensors not shown in the area of the object 10 located bellows-like elements 5 ,

Is the end position of the separating element 1 when saving an item 10 reached, so the pressure in the bellows-like elements 5 maintained, for example, by an unillustrated valve is closed or the pump 7 constantly builds up new pressure and in the bellows-like elements 5 into pumps.

The adjusting device 8th can be covered on the top and / or bottom with covers not shown, for example in the form of a roller blind or the like, so that objects 10 from the area of the loading zone not in the area of the adjusting device 8th can penetrate. It can also be prevented that the bellows-like elements 5 be hurt by sharp objects in the loading zone and thus can not hold the pressure.

In the 4 to 7 is another embodiment of the device according to the invention provided with a mechanically coupled lever elements 18 formed adjusting device 8th and an operation by means of rope 11 or band the adjusting element 1 in the direction of displacement 22 is moved and in the 4 in the extended state is in plan view. The base 2 the device as well as the separating element 1 can here be plate-like constructed sheet metal parts on which corresponding functional parts such as bearing eyes and the like are arranged.

The adjusting device 8th This is made of telescopic levers 18 formed, which fit together and are slidable. For example, this can have a corresponding profile shape or even by a slot 23 be realized, in which one to the moving part 16 of the lever 18 fixed guide element 19 , which also serves as a stop, at the fixed part 17 of the lever 18 to be led. At the base 2 are two such levers 18 over joints 13 rotatably arranged, with the moving parts 16 the lever 18 at its separating element end in a common joint 14 are fixed to each other pivotally. Such a three-jointed arrangement with rigid levers is widely known from the operation of doors or flaps on vehicles and serves to guide according to be adjusted parts.

The adjustment of the separating element 1 takes place here, based on each of the levers 18 by operation of a rope 11 or Bandes, that has an arrangement of roles 12 using a winding device 15 on the moving part 16 of the lever 18 acts and this like a cable conductor here along the length of the slot 23 ausschiebt. For that are on the fixed part 17 of the lever 18 as well as in the swivel joint 13 respective roles 12 arranged over which the rope 11 runs away and ultimately at the point of articulation 20 on the moving part 16 of the lever 18 is set, which is at the separating element end of the movable part 16 of the lever 18 located. If you pull now on the rope 11 so will the rope 11 like in the 5a and 5b as well as in the 4 to shorten and thereby the moving part 16 of the lever 18 from one to the solid part 17 pushed in position to the ejected position according to 4 convict. The same happens at the other telescopic lever 18 where the two telescopic levers in the joint 14 hinged together and with the separating element 1 are connected, resulting in a displacement of the separating element 1 in adjustment 22 results because the superposition of the rotational movement of the lever 18 and the sliding movement of the movable part 16 the lever 18 exactly this kinematic movement of the separating element 1 results. This is particularly good in the as a Stadiumsplan of pushing out the separating element 1 shown 5a . 5b and 4 to recognize. The shortening of the rope 11 takes place here by the winding device 15 , which is driven by an electric motor, for example, and via a corresponding pulley during the ejection of the separating element 1 released rope 11 winds.

A return stroke of the separating element 1 can be achieved by the fact that the free end of the rope 11 again at the separating element 1 is set, resulting in a reversal of the direction of rotation of the winding device 15 the rope 11 between winding device 15 and the separator 1 shortened and the separating element 1 retreats into its retracted starting position. At the same time this is the moving part 16 of the lever 18 back in the solid part 17 inserted and the pivoting movement of the lever 18 reversed. To compensate for possible kinematic problems between the winding device 15 and the separator 1 a spring in the course of the rope 11 be provided, the differences in length of the rope 11 can compensate.

This results in the basic kinematics of the device according to 4 a substantially parallel displacement movement of the separating element 1 due to the winding movement of the rope 11 and the pivoting of the levers 18 with the ejection movement of the moving part 16 of the lever 18 ,

A tilting of the separating element 1 is thereby achieved that the separating element 1 at the joint 14 also tiltable relative to the levers 18 is arranged and therefore an additional degree of freedom of the separating element 1 This results in a tilting of the separating element 1 at an angle alpha, which is like already for 3 explained from an object arranged asymmetrically in the region of the loading zone 10 that results against the sidewall 4 and the back 9 the loading zone is to be pressed. This allows the separating element 1 automatically to the respective loading situation due to such objects 10 customize and these items 10 optimally secure.

It is hereby conceivable that the tilted position by the angle alpha by an additional clamping device in the region of the joint 14 is secured or even that an automatic return of the separating element 1 in a neutral central position substantially parallel to the base 2 is made by means of a spring element, not shown.

The definition of the separating element 1 after extension, for example, in the extended state according to 4 can also by a braking device, not shown in the field of winding device 15 or by self-locking a drive, for example with an Elek tromotor M done.

It is also conceivable that on the separating element 1 already for 1 described ball elements 6 to roll on the ground 3 the loading zone are arranged.
