Abstract

Device (10) for fastening at least two cable sections to a body (12) having at least one central opening (14, 141, 142, 143) and at least one peripheral opening (161, 162, 163), the body (12) a plurality of peripheral openings (161, 162, 163) of different diameter (D161, D162, D163) and for example for attachment of a boat (60) on a fixing line (30) is used.

Description

The invention relates to a device for fastening at least two cable sections according to the preamble of claim 1 and a use of the device according to claim 9 and / or 10.

A device for attaching at least one cable section to a body and the use of this device for attaching a retaining leash to a boat is known from WO 2003 0330340 A1 known. This is an approximately rectangular clamping device. The body has a central passage opening, to which a recess for clamping one or more cables is located on both sides.

The object of the invention is to develop a device with which at least two cable sections of a rope can be connected by means of openings having a body.

This object is achieved by the features of claim 1. Advantageous embodiments of the invention are specified in the related subclaims. An advantageous use of the device is specified in claims 9 and 10.

With the present invention, an easy-to-use device for fastening at least two cable sections by a body having at least one central and at least one peripheral opening can be realized.

A preferred application of the device according to the invention is, for example, attaching a boat to a pole. The device then serves to protect the loose end of the leash from being immersed in the water and thus protects it from premature rotting.

The device according to the invention has at least one central opening and a plurality of peripheral openings with different diameters.

In a first advantageous embodiment, the at least one central opening has a closed circumference, so that, for example, a cable or another elongate object can be guided.

A development of the aforementioned embodiment may also have a plurality of central openings with a closed circumference. It is advantageous that the plurality of central openings have different diameters, so that, for example, cables of different diameters can be passed.

In addition, an advantageous development of the first embodiment at at least a portion of the peripheral openings on an outwardly open recess. This is particularly advantageous when ropes of different thickness in the middle of the center durchfädelbar by the body and, for example, the rope ends should be clamped in the peripheral openings.

In an alternative second embodiment, at the at least one central opening, an opening which is open toward the outside, ie towards the peripheral boundary of the body, is conceivable. This allows a rope end at any time attach very quickly to the device without this would have to be threaded through a closed central opening.

Of particular advantage is a development in which the opening, which is open towards the outside from the central opening, forms an inlet channel which tapers towards the central opening. This facilitates the insertion and clamping of a rope into the central opening.

In addition, it is advantageous in the embodiment mentioned above if at least some of the peripheral openings have an outwardly closed cross-section.

Preferably, in both embodiments, the body is disc-shaped and formed of a corrosion-resistant material.

Ideally, it is either a salt water resistant metal alloy or a saltwater resistant plastic.

But there are also different combinations of said embodiments feasible, for example, a device in which both the central and the peripheral openings are provided with recesses or a device in which both the central and the peripheral openings are closed.

Ideally, the various embodiments find use in attaching to at least one boat leash.

For example, by a closed opening of the device, the fixing line can be carried out and the loose end of the same fixing leash are received in a recess provided with a recess. Thus, there is the possibility that the loose end of the retaining line is protected from immersion in water.

An Indian 1 illustrated first embodiment shows a round, disk-shaped device 10 by a body 12 is formed. The body 12 has in its center three closed central openings 141 . 142 . 143 with different diameters D141 . D142 . D143 on.

At the outer edge of the body 12 are located in partially different distances from each other several peripheral openings 161 . 162 . 163 , each with different diameters D161 . D162 . D163 exhibit.

The peripheral openings 161 . 162 . 163 each show a recess 28 to the edge of the body 12 out.

The peripheral openings 161 . 162 . 162 go by rounding off 22 in the recesses 28 above.

For the sake of clarity, not all peripheral openings have been provided with reference numerals.

2 shows a second embodiment of the device 10 , The body 12 has a central opening 14 with a recess 18 at the periphery of. The recess 18 forms the central opening 14 towards a tapered inlet channel 20 ,

The entrance channel 20 goes with two-sided rounding off 24 in the central opening 14 and with two-sided rounding 201 in an outer contour of the body 12 above.

3 shows a schematic side view of the disc-shaped body 12 from the direction of arrow A in 2 , Center to the central opening 14 is a vertical center axis A121 and perpendicular to the vertical center axis A121 is a horizontal center axis A122 shown.

In the 4 is the use of the device 10 for fixing a boat 60 by means of a fixing leash 30 at a stake 40 shown. The fixing leash 30 is by means of a sling 33 around the stake 40 attached to this.

To slippage of the device 10 on the fixing leash 30 to prevent is on both sides of the device 10 one node each 32 appropriate. The fixing leash 30 is about fortifications 61 of the boat 60 looped. A loose end 34 the fixing leash 30 points in the direction of a water surface 50 ,

As in 4 Optionally, several devices can also be shown 10 on a fixing leash 30 spaced from each other and by nodes 32 be arranged secured. The free end 34 a fixing leash 30 Thus, optionally by one of the devices 10 or by both devices 10 be fixed.

5 shows a schematic representation of a use of the device 10 to protect the loose end 34 the fixing leash 30 before immersion in the water, the surface of which is shown at 50. Because the free end 34 the fixing leash 30 In this way, is well tangible, this can be approaching a boat 60 gripped without tools and the boat 60 at the stake 40 be attached.

The device according to the invention is generally well suited to the above-described use in boats to elongated body, such as ropes, threads, laces, chains, cloths, cables or the like ordered to connect and provide their ends well within reach for one-handed operation. In this respect, the term "rope" used in the claims in its meaning extended to see such elongated body.
