Description

The present invention relates to a device for securing cargo on a load carrier, in particular on a pallet, with a holding element for abutment against the cargo, wherein the holding element has on an upper side an engagement region for a belt for bracing the cargo against the charge carrier.

Devices of the type in question are known from the prior art. For example, is from the DE 20 2011 052 068 U1 a device for securing cargo in the form of barrels on a carrier in the form of a pallet known. The device has a holding element 110 to rest against the barrels, wherein the retaining element 110 on a top 111 an engagement area for a band 151 for bracing the cargo against the charge carrier.

The known holding element has at its edge a plurality of incisions 120 on, being the area between two incisions 120 can be pressed in the direction of cargo with a band during bracing to form a storage bed for a band.

In the known device is problematic that the attachment of the holding element in its suitable for a transport end position is cumbersome, since in the tensioning there is a risk that it slips relative to the transported material. A reasonably secure positioning of the holding element relative to the transported material is ultimately realized only after attaching a plurality of clamping bands. Furthermore, a deformation work in the area between the incisions is to be performed when tensioning the bands, wherein the deformations are irreversible and further handling of the retaining element is difficult due to the deformed edge regions. In particular, storage of the holding elements is difficult after their use, since two holding elements with deformed edge regions can no longer be stacked safely and in a space-saving manner, since deformed edge regions can become entangled.

The present invention is therefore based on the object to design a device of the type mentioned and further, that a secure attachment of cargo is made possible with a particularly simple handling of the device.

According to the invention the above object is achieved by a device having the features of claim 1. Thereafter, the device in question is configured and further developed such that the holding element in an edge region on an underside at least two arcuate recesses or grooves for receiving an edge of the transported goods and that the engagement region in each case between adjacent end portions of two recesses or grooves a substantially concave Leadership area for a band has.

In accordance with the invention, it has been recognized that the above object is achieved in a surprisingly simple manner by skilful design of the retaining element. For this purpose, the retaining element in concrete in an edge region on an underside at least two arcuate recesses or grooves for receiving an edge of the cargo. This allows a secure positioning of the retaining element during the attachment of tensioning straps for fixing the cargo on the carrier. An uncontrolled slippage of the support member is largely avoided by the engagement between an edge of the cargo and the arcuate recesses or grooves. With regard to a particularly secure and simple clamping and thus fixing the cargo on the charge carrier, the engagement region in a further inventive manner in each case between adjacent end portions of two recesses or grooves on a substantially concave guide portion for a band. By means of the concave guide region, the band can be securely guided during the bracing relative to the holding element and thus also to the transported material, whereby the clamping is greatly simplified and unwanted slippage of the tape is avoided relative to the holding element during bracing. In other words, the holding element is first applied to the transported goods during a fixing operation of the transported goods on the load carrier, wherein an edge of the transported material is received in the arcuate recesses or grooves to make a positioning of the holding member relative to the transported material safely. Subsequently, the band is arranged on the upper side of the holding element in the region of the concave guide region for a subsequent tightening. During the tightening, a secure guidance of the band relative to the retaining element is ensured by the concave guide region.

Consequently, a device is specified with the device according to the invention, in which a secure attachment of cargo is made possible with a particularly simple handling of the device.

The term cargo to be understood in the present case in the broadest sense. So it can be in the secured transport goods to containers, barrels, tons or the like, wherein the radius of the arcuate recesses or Grooves the radius of a male in the recesses or grooves edge of the cargo can advantageously correspond to ensure a secure engagement between the edge and the recesses or grooves.

With regard to a particularly secure attachment of the cargo, the concave guide portion may have a preferably to the underside of the support member open stiffening bead. As a result, the stability of the retaining element and thus also the stability of the attachment of the cargo to the load carrier is increased in a simple manner.

In a particularly stable and therefore secure manner, the stiffening bead can essentially extend between the adjacent end regions. An undesired bending of the end regions toward one another can thereby be avoided particularly reliably, in order to ensure the stability and safety of the attachment of the transport goods to the charge carrier.

In a further advantageous manner, the stiffening bead can preferably be curved in accordance with the concavity of the guide region. Due to the curved configuration of the stiffening bead, a secure concave receptacle for the band is realized. The band can run in a strained condition, so to speak, over the stiffening bead.

With regard to a particularly simple embodiment and at the same time high stability of the holding element against undesired bending, the stiffening bead can preferably be designed to extend continuously into the recesses or grooves. In this embodiment, the stiffening bead and the adjacent recesses or grooves form a quasi-merging recess, groove or bead.

In a further advantageous manner, the recesses or grooves can be formed as stiffening beads or shaped receiving areas which are open to the underside of the retaining element. As a result, a particularly high stability of the retaining element is ensured against unwanted bending or deformation during clamping.

Furthermore, with regard to a particularly secure attachment of cargo, the holding member may have a recessed or concave central region. By such a recessed or concave central region, which may be formed by a molding operation of the holding element, in turn, a particularly high security against undesired deformation or bending of the holding element is realized.

The center region may have a substantially convex center region to further enhance stability. By combining the fundamentally recessed or concave central region with a substantially convex center region, a particularly high level of security against undesired bending or deformation of the retaining element, in particular during a tensioning operation, is ensured.

To realize a particularly secure attachment of cargo on the carrier, the holding element may have a passage for a fastener. Such a passage allows the use of an additional fastening element for bracing the holding element against the transported goods and thus the transported goods against the charge carrier. In addition to the use of a tension band, the fastener provides a further increase in the security of fixation. For example, such a fastener may be formed as a rod-shaped screw, said screw can be inserted from the top of the holding member through the passage and then bolted to the carrier to clamp the holding member against the cargo and thus the cargo against the load carrier. The screw can have a self-tapping thread for simple and secure screwing into the load carrier.

The term recess or groove is to be understood in the context of the present invention in the broadest sense. So this means any execution that can accommodate an edge of the cargo substantially complementary. This may be a recess, groove, recess or a formed in the holding element fold or shaped receiving area.

With regard to the structural design of the retaining element is conceivable that this is formed of plastic. In addition to the low weight of the plastic so that a corrosion-resistant design is realized. In addition, damage to the cargo is largely prevented. Alternatively, the holding element may be formed of metal, in particular of aluminum or steel sheet. As a result, a particularly stable design of the retaining element is possible. In this case, a high clamping force can be applied to the cargo in particular in an embodiment of sheet steel due to its high elasticity, without plastically deform the holding member. The holding element can be made in the way of a clamping and / or pressing operation in a simple and cost-effective manner. To increase the dimensional stability of the retaining element may be formed in or on the retaining element for reasons of stiffening beads or ribs.

The holding element according to the invention can have, for example, two, three or four arcuate recesses, so that two, three or four transport goods such as drums or barrels can be fastened to the load carrier.
