Description

The invention relates to a fastening rail according to the preamble of claim 1 and a fastening element for mounting in such a fastening rail. The invention also includes a fastening system with such a fastening rail and such a fastening element and a motor vehicle with such a fastening system.

Such rails and fastening elements are generally known in the prior art and are rigidly fastened in the load compartment or trunk of a motor vehicle. In known systems for securing loads, two rails are preferably fastened parallel to one another in the vehicle in the longitudinal direction of the vehicle. Different fastening elements can usually be inserted into the rails and can be displaced and locked in the rails in their longitudinal direction. The fastening elements that can be inserted into the rail can be designed as shackles or with various rigid or flexible holding arms or straps.

From the DE 10 2005 003 080 A1 a partition device for a cargo space of motor vehicles is known which includes a roll-up, roller blind-like partition. In order to be able to use the partition at different points in the cargo space, bracket-like shaped rails are arranged on the side walls of the cargo space, in which the winding device is slidably guided. When not in use, the partition can be moved to one end of the cargo space.

From the DE 10 2005 035 319 A1 a fastening system with fastening rails is known, into which fastening elements with rigid retaining arms can also be used. If a fastening element is not used, it can be removed and stowed away in accordance with the system described there through a widening on the upper side of the rail, for example in the recess for the spare wheel. If there is a spare wheel, the fastener will need to be stowed elsewhere, which in some cases can be problematic. In an emergency, the fastening element is placed loosely in the hold with the risk that it is not stored safely and can lead to paint damage or the like in the car.

The object of the present invention is to create a storage option for parts of a fastening system, in particular for the fastening element or elements.

This object is achieved by the features of the independent claims.

The invention is distinguished in particular by the fact that a fastening rail is made available which allows a fastening element to be transferred to a parking position while remaining in the rail. For this purpose, the rail has a longer, linearly extending first section and at least one shorter, at least partially curved second section in the longitudinal extension. The fastening element can be moved into the desired position on the first straight section if one or more goods are to be fastened with aids such as straps, lashing eyes, holding rails, etc., arranged on the fastening element. When the fastening element is not used, it can be moved along the curved, second section and either on this section or on a subsequent section can be transferred to a parking position in which it preferably protrudes into the cargo space to a lesser extent or not at all.

The invention relates to the fastening rail, the fastening element, a system of both and a corresponding motor vehicle.

The second section preferably runs downwards immediately following the first section, so that the part of the fastening element which is supported in the rail is displaced obliquely downwards in order to reach the parking position.

According to the invention, the second section has two consecutive, oppositely curved arcs, which expediently merge into one another in order to keep the length of the second section small.

The second section is particularly preferably followed by a linearly running third section which preferably runs parallel to the first section. The rail, which expediently runs linearly seen in plan view, thus has an S-curve shape in side view, with the free legs ending in linear sections. The fastening element can thus be moved into the third section and here does not protrude as far up into the cargo space. Preferably, the fastening element can also be sunk further by advantageously folding it down, preferably onto the third rail section.

In this context, it is advantageous if the height difference of the first and the third section is equal to or greater than the height of the folded fastening element when it is transferred from an upright holding and / or securing position to its parked position, the fastening element in the The rail remains. It protrudes in the folded down parking position advantageously not over the upper edge of the first rail section.

The complete folding down of the fastening element into the parking position, for example by 90 ° in the direction of the rail, is particularly successful when the third section is at least slightly longer than the fastening element itself.

According to an advantageous embodiment, the fastening rail has a C cross-sectional profile. This ensures stable mounting of fastening elements and is relatively inexpensive to manufacture.

The fastening rail can preferably be installed in a loading space of a motor vehicle in such a way that the second and - if present - the third section are arranged in the region of the loading sill. In this case, the fastening element is easily accessible to an operator in its parked position. According to an alternative, the second section has only a single, downwardly bent arc. In this case, there is no third section. Rather, the second section can preferably run out vertically downwards in the z-direction, the fastening element then pointing in the x-direction (vehicle longitudinal direction) in the parking position.

According to an alternative embodiment, the rail in the second section is essentially twisted inwards by 90 °, so that the fastening element executes a superimposed movement in the x-direction (in the vehicle longitudinal direction) and simultaneously in the y-direction (vehicle transverse direction) when it is moved on this second section. If the fastening element protrudes in its holding and / or securing position in the z-direction, in the parking position, i.e. at the end of the second section, in this embodiment it can point in the y-direction.

The fastening element according to the invention is movably and lockably mounted in a fastening rail as described above. It also has a slide that slides along the rail and a receiving profile connected to the slide via a joint. A holding element for the actual holding and securing can be fastened to the receiving profile (for example a belt, a lashing eye, a holding strap, etc.). The receiving profile can be pivoted into a parking position in the direction of the rail.

Appropriately, a locking device is provided for the receiving profile to fix it in its holding and / or securing position.

According to an advantageous embodiment, the locking device comprises a guide groove in the carriage or in the receiving profile and a pin guided in the guide groove on the receiving profile or the carriage. The guide groove preferably has a linear section for guiding the pin in the vertical direction and a curved section for guiding the pin during pivoting.

The slide can preferably be clamped to the rail with the aid of a latching part. The latching part can for example be guided vertically and have elevations on its upper side, which are clamped in the rail from below in depressions, a large number of which are provided on a lower edge of the rail in the longitudinal extension of the rail. This jamming can advantageously be implemented in conjunction with a locking device for the receiving profile as described above. The distances between the recesses determine the possible latching positions of the fastening element in use along the rail. Instead of one or more elevations on the latching part and depressions in the rail, conversely one or more depressions can be provided on the latching part and the corresponding elevations on the rail.

The fastening system according to the invention comprises at least one previously described fastening rail and at least one previously described fastening element mounted displaceably and lockably in the rail, the at least one fastening element being reversible from an upright position in the first section in which the fastening element is used for holding and securing can be transferred into a parking position in the second or third section in which it does not protrude beyond the upper edge of the first section. To move into the parking position, the fastening element is displaced at least along the second section and, if necessary, into the third section. An even lower height in this parking position results when the receiving profile of the fastening element is pivoted downward in the direction of the rail and advantageously comes to rest on it.

According to an advantageous development of the invention, the fastening system for holding and / or securing objects in a cargo space of a motor vehicle has a holding element which is connected to at least one of the fastening elements by means of a releasable connecting device. Alternatively, it is also possible that the holding element is designed to be divisible by means of a releasable connecting device. the releasable connecting device can be locked by at least one locking element.

The releasable connecting device achieves, on the one hand, that the holding element or part of a divisible holding element can either be easily removed from the hold or swiveled to the side when not in use. Storage when not in use and the loading process are thereby conveniently possible. Furthermore, the fastening system is particularly flexible, since the detachable connecting device allows a holding element to be replaced by another holding element in a simple manner. For example, instead of a partition board, a belt roller can be connected to the fastening element as a holding element.

The fastening elements can remain in the rails, so that operation is particularly simple. By means of the at least one locking element, the holding element is nevertheless securely fixed in the cargo space after the connecting device has been closed, so that the cargo is thereby particularly well secured. In addition, play in the connecting device can be reduced by the at least one locking element, so that unpleasant rattling noises, vibrations and possibly damage to the holding element are also prevented.

If a holding element is connected at both ends to a fastening element by a releasable connecting device, the flexibility of the fastening system is further increased. All known devices for holding cargo, such as belt retractors, elongated profiles as partition boards, nets, rubber bands, baskets, etc., as well as combinations of these, can be used as the holding element. If the connecting element is provided as a partition board, it consists of at least one profile. A holding element can also consist of several profiles which interlock telescopically, wherein a connecting device with a locking element can also be arranged between two different profiles of the holding element.

According to an advantageous development, the at least one locking element is designed in one piece with the releasable connecting device. The ease of use and the safety of the fastening device are further increased by the one-piece design and loss of the locking element is avoided. Separate locking elements, for example a bolt, which can be pushed into corresponding bores in the releasable connecting device, are, however, also conceivable.

It is also particularly advantageous if the at least one locking element is automatically transferred into a locking position by closing the connecting device, but an active actuation by an operator is required for unlocking. This further simplifies operation, and inadvertent release of the locking element can be excluded.

If the at least one locking element is designed as a latching device, automatic locking when the connecting device is closed is possible in a structurally simple manner. The at least one locking element can be, for example, a spring-loaded push button which automatically engages when a corresponding recess is reached on the other part of the connecting device and when the operator presses the push button in turn releases the connecting device to be released. However, other latching devices and other, also separate locking elements are also conceivable.

According to another development, the at least one locking element contains a display device for the locking state of the locking element. For example, the locking element can have corresponding color markings which are only visible when the locking position is correct. Likewise, for example in the case of spring-loaded latching devices, the locking elements can represent the correct locking position by protruding or otherwise visually appearing components of the locking element.

It is also particularly advantageous if the holding element and / or at least one profile of the holding element is rotatably connected to at least one of the fastening elements. The actuation of the connecting device can thereby take place in a particularly simple manner by means of a pivot actuation.

According to another advantageous embodiment of the invention, the holding element has at least one pin as a locking element which interacts with a corresponding recess in the fastening element. For this purpose, the fastening element can comprise a locking plate in which one or more bores are arranged for engagement of the appropriately designed pins on the connecting element.

The invention also comprises a motor vehicle with a loading space in which a fastening system designed as described above is arranged.

The respective second and possibly the third section of the two fastening rails is preferably arranged in the region of the loading sill of the loading space, so that the at least one fastening element can be moved into its parking position in the region of the loading sill.

Furthermore, it is preferred if a holding element, which is used to actually hold and secure transport goods and is fastened with its respective ends to two fastening elements mounted in the two load rails and transferred into the parking position, can be parked below a cargo space cover. The loading space cover is in this case preferably mounted such that it can be displaced and / or folded between the two fastening rails at the level of the first section.

Advantageous further developments of the invention are characterized by the features of the subclaims.

In the 1-8 a loading space L of a passenger vehicle is shown (parts of this are always shown in dotted lines), in the loading floor of which there are two fastening rails running parallel and spaced apart in the longitudinal direction of the vehicle 1 are fixed opposite one another, for example screwed. The two rails 1 run linearly in plan view. A fastening system according to the invention comprises the two rails 1 and at least one fastener 10 for holding and / or securing objects in the cargo space L. In the cargo space L, a fully or partially displaceable and / or foldable loading floor cover A with a handle G is provided, for example to have access to a spare wheel (not shown) underneath.

There are two fasteners here 10 in the rails 1 slidably mounted and lockable in different locking positions. Furthermore, the fastening system comprises a holding element 23 , which each with a fastening element at both ends 10 connected is. The holding element 23 can consist of a single, substantially rectangular profile 35 exist. The holding element 23 however, as shown here, it can also consist of three telescopically interlocking Profiles 35 exist, so that this can be arranged in various positions in the cargo space L. According to the present illustration, there is a releasable connecting device in each case 36 with a locking element 37 between two profiles 35 of the holding element 23 intended. Furthermore, the holding element is 23 with the fastening element shown in the picture on the left 10 by means of a releasable connecting device 36 , which is a locking element 37 includes, connected. With the other fastening element shown on the right in the picture 10 however, the profile is firmly but rotatably connected. The fastener 10 can for this purpose, for example, comprise a rotatably mounted attachment.

The fastening rails according to the invention 1 are on a first section extending over most of their length 3 formed linear. In the area of the loading sill K, the rails point 1 a second section 4th on, taking a first arch 4a of this second section 4th is bent downwards, to which a second arch is attached 4b connects, one to the first arch 4a has opposite curvature and into a third linear section 5 passes, see in particular 11 and 12th . The third section 5 runs parallel to the first section 3 of the rails 1 . The rails 1 accordingly have an S-shaped curvature in the vehicle longitudinal direction in the region of the loading sill K, in which the fastening elements 10 can be pushed to the respective end of the rail. In the third rail section 5 protrudes an upright fastener 10 to a lesser extent upwards (see p. 1 , 3 , 5 , 7th ), compared to the usual usage situation in which the fastening element 10 in the first part 3 stands.

To the fasteners 10 To be able to stow even better when not in use, these are designed to be pivotable. Both fastening elements are in accordance with the exemplary embodiment presented here 10 forward (away from the loading sill K) in the vehicle longitudinal direction on the respective third rail section 5 can be swiveled by 90 °. The length of the fasteners 10 in this case, in the folded-down state, it is expediently at least slightly shorter than the respective third rail section 5 . In the 2 , 4th , 5 and 8th is this parking position of the fasteners 10 in the respective rail section 5 evident.

If the fastening system is in the in 1 position shown, it can be used to load the cargo space L after releasing the locking element 37 the releasable connecting device 36 between the fastener 10 and the holding element 23 be released and the retaining element 23 forward around the right fastener 10 be pivoted to allow free access to the cargo space L. The operation of the connecting device 36 takes place in a plane perpendicular to the vertical axis of the vehicle, as indicated by the arrow P. Finally, loading space L is freely accessible for loading, as in 19th shown as an example. Moving the fasteners 10 in the rails is not required here. Likewise, there is a laborious handling of the comparatively bulky holding element 23 not required in the loading space L, so that loading can take place particularly comfortably. Such a retaining element 23 with a releasable connecting device 36 is also advantageous in fastening systems with individual fastening points arranged opposite one another in the cargo space.

After loading, the holding element 23 again by swiveling the fastening element shown on the left in the picture 10 be pivoted and the releasable connecting device 36 getting closed. Depending on the design of the locking element 37 is still a manual locking of the locking element 37 necessary. However, it is particularly advantageous if the locking of the locking element 37 automatically when the connecting device closes 36 he follows. Such designs of a connecting device 36 with an automatic locking element 37 are in the 20th and 21 shown. By the locking element 10 the fastening system is particularly securely fixed and the holding element is unintentionally released 23 from the fastener 10 while driving is avoided. Likewise, the releasable connecting device 36 not unintentionally, for example by on the holding element 23 attacking cargo are opened. For unlocking the locking element 37 active actuation by an operator is provided here. Then the connecting device 36 by linear actuation in the direction of the holding element 23 , as indicated by the double arrow P1, can be solved.

According to a variant not shown, instead of being centered between the profits 35 a releasable connecting device 36 with a locking element 37 also only at both lateral ends of the holding element 23 be arranged. The connecting device 36 can nevertheless be solved by linear shifting in the direction of the double arrow P1, because of the telescopically interlocking profiles 35 a corresponding length compensation is made possible. After loosening both connecting devices 36 can the retaining element 23 be removed from the hold or put aside. A rotatable connection of the profiles 35 with one or both fasteners 10 is therefore not absolutely necessary.

On the other hand, there are profiles on both sides 35 rotatable with the fastening elements 10 connected, a single, preferably centrally arranged, connecting device is already connected 36 sufficient to make cargo space L freely accessible or the profiles when not in use 35 to pan to the side.

Like that 1-8 can be seen, the loading floor cover A is between the rails 1 arranged at a short distance from these. As in particular from the 2 can be seen, the folded fasteners can 10 visually appealing, space-saving and safe, namely while remaining in the rails 1 to be parked.

In the 9-12 is the fastening system according to the invention, in the present case comprising two rails 1 and two fasteners 10 with a holding element arranged between these 23 , shown outside a car. For example, in the 12th (as 10 ) clearly the fastener 10 in the folded down parking position to see which one is in the 11 (as in 9 ) is shown in an upright position.

In the 13-16 are detailed sections through one in a rail 1 mounted fastener 10 of the page ( 13th , 15th ) as well as from the front ( 14th , 16 ) to see. The rail 1 that cut in the 17th is shown enlarged again, has a foot 6th and from this one leg protruding vertically 7th on. The rail is closed at the top 1 from a horizontal leg 8th that has a cranked edge 8a having. The rail 1 thus has a C-profile. In the 18th is an alternative to a rail 1 shown in which the horizontal leg 8th rearward has a projection 8b with which an alternative mounting of a fastening element 10 in the rail 1 is possible.

The fastener 10 according to the 13-16 assigns a recording profile 25th on, for example, the holding element 23 (in the 13-16 not shown) is attached. The recording profile 25th is using one in relation to the sled 12th stationary hinge pin 28 articulated with a sled 12th connected, the receiving profile 25th a recess formed in the vertical direction, in cross section as an elongated hole 26th has, so that the receiving profile 25th not just about the hinge pin 25th pivoted, but also according to the length of the recess 26th can be moved up and down. This construction supports the fixation of the joint, as will be explained further below.

The sled 12th in turn, the C-profile engages around the rail 1 . The sled 12th who is on the rail 1 is displaceably mounted, this has two outer legs 13th that are left and right along rail 1 get lost. The free end of an upwardly open U-shaped leg engages in the interior of the C-profile 14th of the sled 12th .

Between this leg 14th as well as the adjacent outer leg 13th of the sled 12th on the one hand and the cranked rail edge 8a on the other hand is a latching part 30th provided that it is shaped like a mirror-inverted C. The latching part 30th lies with its vertical flank 32 sliding on the outer edge of the cranked rail edge 8a on while its upper flank 31 with play down below the underside of the mounting profile 25th is arranged. The lower flank 33 of the latching part 30th lies with the fastener upright 10 on the underside of the cranked rail edge 8a at. When the recording profile is pressed down 25th becomes the latching part 30th also pushed down, its said lower flank 33 into a recess 15th drives, which in side view ( 13th ) in the middle of the slide 12th is provided.

At the top of the lower flank 33 of the latching part 30th is a survey 34 provided that in recesses 9 on the underside of the cranked rail edge 8a is clampable. By pressing down on the recording profile 25th becomes the elevation 34 down out of the recess 9 pressed so that the fastener 10 now freely movable in the rail 1 is. Along the rail 1 are a multitude of such depressions 9 provided which the locking points of the fastening element 10 determine.

In the 15th and 16 is the admission profile 25th shown in the folded-down state. There is a locking device to enable it to be folded down 20th provided, the one on the side of the receiving profile 25th molded guide pin 21 as well as one the guide pin 21 receiving guide groove 16 that are in the sled 12th is performed, includes, s. 13th and 15th . The guide groove 16 has a vertical, linear section 17th and an adjoining part-circular curved section below 18th on.

If the recording profile 25th from the upright position ( 13th ) is pushed down, taking it along the recess 26th slides (see above), the guide pin also becomes 21 in the linear section 17th moved down. As stated above, the fastening element 10 in this state along the rail 1 be moved. In the depressed state, the recording profile can now 25th be pivoted so that the guide pin 21 in the curved section 18th running so that the recording profile 25th on the rails 1 can be folded or swiveled (s. 2 , 4th , 6th , 8th , 12th , 15th and 16 ). The elevation is also in this state 34 of the latching part 30th in a depression 9 the rail 1 jammed, preferably under spring loading (not shown), so that the fastening element is not in the rail even in the folded-down state 1 can slip.

19th shows a perspective view of a fastening system according to the invention, in which the releasable connecting device 36 on one side of the holding element 23 is released and the holding element 23 is pivoted to the side for loading the cargo hold L. The good accessibility of the loading floor or the loading space L can be clearly seen in the illustration shown.

20th shows a detailed representation of a connecting device according to the invention 36 with a locking element 37 after a first run. The connecting device 36 includes a pin 39 , which in a corresponding recess 40 of the holding element 23 , here a cavity in the profile 35 , intervenes and interacts with this. The locking element 37 is in the present case a spring-loaded push button, which automatically moves into its locking position, in which it is inserted into a correspondingly designed hole 41 filed, is transferable. By bevels in the area of the recess 40 can the automatic sliding of the locking element 36 be supported in the locking position. It is obvious that this involves a large number of different locking elements 37 , which are designed as locking devices with spring-loaded elements, is possible. It is particularly advantageous in the present embodiment that the locking element 37 integral with the releasable connecting device 36 is trained. Loss of the locking element 37 cannot occur as a result. Furthermore, this means that no complex assembly steps are required.

It is also advantageous in the embodiment shown that the locking element 37 here at the same time a display device for the locking state of the locking element 37 forms. Only when the locking element 37 out of the hole 41 something protrudes, is the locking element 37 in the correct locking position in which the latching has occurred.

To unlock, however, is a push on the locking element 37 , that is, an active actuation of the push button by an operator is required, so that unintentional loosening can be excluded.

21 shows another embodiment of a connecting device 36 , in which as locking elements 37 two cones 39 integral with the connecting device 36 are trained. The cones 39 act with appropriate recesses 40 of the fastener 10 together. The locking element 37 is here by an area of larger diameter on the pin 39 formed, which in the recesses 40 is lockable. To ensure high stability and functionality of the connecting device 36 with the locking elements 37 to ensure even after repeated use can be attached to the fastener 10 a locking plate 42 be arranged in which two holes as recesses 40 are arranged.

In the 20th and 21 It is of course also possible to use a pin 39 on the fastener 10 to be arranged and corresponding recesses 40 on the retaining element 23 or profile 35 to be provided.

A connecting device configured in this way can also 36 not only be oriented in the transverse direction of the vehicle as shown, but this can also be oriented in the longitudinal direction of the vehicle, so that the actuation for releasing and closing the connecting device 36 also takes place in the longitudinal direction of the vehicle. The actuation of the connecting device 36 and then pivoting the holding element to the side 23 or the profiles 35 is hereby possible in a particularly favorable manner.

It is also possible to use the holding element 23 at both ends with a connecting device oriented essentially in the longitudinal direction of the vehicle 36 with one fastening element each 10 connect to. A rotatability of the holding element 23 on one of the fasteners 10 is also not necessary here because - if necessary after manual unlocking of the locking element 37 - the holding element 23 by simply pulling the fastening elements in the longitudinal direction of the vehicle 10 can be released, or can be reattached in the opposite direction.

22nd shows a schematic plan view of a fastening system, in which the holding element 23 two profiles 35 includes which in the area of the connecting device 36 interlock. The connecting device 36 is present only by corresponding profiling of the two adjacent profiles 35 educated. The profiles 35 are in turn rotatable with the fastening elements, for example by means of corresponding attachments 10 connected so that the loosening of the connecting device 36 by simply swiveling the profiles 35 , as shown by the two arrows, can be done.

As a locking element 37 is in the present case a latch 43 provided, which is shown here in its locking position and by pivoting about the pivot axis 44 be transferred into its unlocked position shown in dashed lines. Of course, linear shifting of a bolt is also possible 43 for transferring to the locking position and back possible. Furthermore, such a bolt 43 as a locking element 37 also perpendicular to the in 22nd be arranged direction shown and in the locking position, the two superposed parts of the profiles 35 grasp like clamps. Furthermore, it is conceivable for the locking element to be automatically locked by means of corresponding links 37 when closing the connecting device 36 to effect, which further increases the ease of use.

Alternatively, when executing the 22nd is used as a locking element 37 a separate bolt is conceivable, which is in the connecting device 36 is inserted, or the locking element 37 may include some type of bracket that the connecting device 36 secures. Likewise is a connecting device 36 as in 21 shown possible, which, however, is oriented in the longitudinal direction of the vehicle.

The invention has been described in more detail using an exemplary embodiment. Modifications within the claims and a combination of individual features that result in further embodiments are easily possible. For example, in two embodiments of the invention that are not shown, the rail geometry can be completely different from that shown in the figures. According to such an alternative, the rail is bent downwards by 90 ° with a relatively small radius in the area of the loading sill, so that a fastening element can be moved towards the operator and stored horizontally, preferably supported, at the end of the rail. In this case, the fastening element need not be designed to be pivotable. According to a further alternative embodiment, the rail is designed to be wound inwardly by approximately 90 ° at its end facing the loading sill. The fastening element can then be moved on a partial screw path from an upright to a horizontal parking position, the fastening element in this case being in the transverse direction of the vehicle. Here, too, there is no need to fold it down. Other embodiments are also possible. For example, a trough can be provided in the fastening rail with rail sections bent upwards in front of and behind and then running horizontally again in order to move the fastening element into this trough and then preferably fold it down.
