Description

The invention relates to a clamping device according to the preamble of claim 1.

Clamping devices, in particular for securing items of luggage on vehicles, are generally known in the prior art. The simplest and best-known variants are the so-called tension belts with metal hooks and ladder buckles or clamping ladder buckles.

Lashing straps with metal hooks are usually equipped with fastening hooks at the ends. The tension belt is hooked onto a suitable counter-element on the piece of luggage via the fastening hooks at the end.

The disadvantage here is that an additional component, for example a ladder buckle, is required to tighten the belt. Usually the additional component is also arranged on the belt.

Ladder buckles are used for backpacks, for example. The ladder buckle or the strap is firmly connected to the backpack at one end and is guided and tightened at the other end through the slots of the ladder buckle. To release, the ladder buckle must be tilted in the opposite direction to the pulling direction and the belt pulled through at the same time.

The disadvantage is that the lashing strap always has to be guided completely through the ladder buckle when tightening or lashing and when loosening. This makes handling difficult. In addition, the excess belt length must be laboriously stowed away after each lashing.

U.S.A. 4,567,628 discloses a cam buckle assembly. This has a main body portion made of a suitable resilient material such as a resilient plastic. A cam member is pivotally mounted in the main body portion and is resiliently urged toward the main body portion by a resilient arm member extending from the main body portion and abutting the cam member. A strap is wrapped around a transverse arm formed at one end of the main body portion, this strap being adjustable in its effective length and once so adjusted is held in that position by the cam member. At the other end of the body part there is provided means for attaching the body part to attachment means which in one embodiment comprises an elastic hook and in another embodiment a crossbar for receiving a fastening strap.

U.S. 2,942,315 A describes a cable attachment device having a housing having an open-mouthed hook formed at one end, the housing having an aperture extending therethrough for receiving a flexible cable member, and a clamping member disposed in the aperture and attached to the housing is articulated for pivotal movement between a rope clamping and a release position. A retaining member having a tongue is disposed in the opening and is pivoted on the housing coaxially with the clamping member for movement between a first position in which the tongue extends over the open mouth of the hook and a second position in which the tongue extends over the Maul is withdrawn.

It is the object of the invention to overcome these and other disadvantages of the prior art and to provide an adjustable tensioning device which has a compact design and is quick and easy to handle.

Main features of the invention are set out in the characterizing part of claim 1. Configurations are the subject of claims 2 to 14.

In a tensioning device for securing items of luggage on a vehicle, with a base element for attachment to a counter-element that can be attached to an item of luggage, with a tensioning belt for fixing the tensioning device on the vehicle, and with a clamping device for tensioning and fixing the tensioning belt in one tensioned position, wherein the base element has a fastening section facing the counter-element for fastening the base element to the counter-element, wherein the base element can be hung in the counter-element with the fastening section, the base element having a tensioning section facing away from the counter-element for guiding and fixing the tensioning strap, and wherein the clamping device is integrated in the clamping section of the base element, the invention provides that the fastening section is provided with a latching element, the latching element being formed on a spring bar.

The latching element formed on the spring bar ensures, on the one hand, that the fastening section latches securely on the counter-element. Furthermore, the snapping of the fastening section on the counter-element is signaled to the user by a clicking noise. The fastening section snaps into place via the snap-in element the intended first or second suspension element of the counter-element.

Due to the structural design and the mechanical structure of the clamping device, it only needs one technical component, which quickly and easily maps both the fastening and the clamping function. As a result, the entire device is very compact in design and easy to handle at the same time.
It also ensures that there is relatively little excess belt length after lashing or tightening.

Preferably, the base element is essentially frame-shaped and extends in a longitudinal direction. The frame-like structure of the base element allows further structural configurations transverse to the longitudinal direction of the base element. At the same time, the frame serves as a kind of support structure for elements that implement the fastening and tensioning function.

It is particularly preferred that the base element has two longitudinal webs and two transverse webs, with a first transverse web being formed in a fastening section of the base element and a second transverse web being formed in a clamping section of the base element.

The first crossbar is preferably part of a hook with which the base element can be hung in the counterpart on the piece of luggage. The second transverse web serves as a fixing element for the tension belt, in that the latter is placed around the second transverse web in the form of a loop and clamped against it.

The clamping section is located on the side of the base element facing away from the counter-element and the fastening section is located on the side of the base element facing the counter-element. As a result, the basic element has two force application areas which - integrated in the basic element - complement each other. Due to the tensile force that acts on the second transverse web via the tensioning strap and the counterforce that acts on the fastening section via the counter-element, a uniform distribution of stress occurs along the base element. The luggage is always firmly and securely attached to the vehicle.

In a preferred embodiment, the fastening section is narrower in width than the clamping section. As a result, the fastening section is particularly compact and at the same time more flexible in use. Even in positions that are difficult to access, the fastening section can be hung in a suitable counter-element or in a classic loop without any problems.

The tensioning strap is preferably guided in a loop around the second transverse web, with the tensioning strap being introduced on the rear side of the base element and being guided out again on the front side of the base element. This makes it much easier to attach the tension belt in the area of the clamping device. The simple loop shape has proven to be a particularly simple and reliable variant.

It is preferred that the tensioning strap rests slidingly on the second crossbar. Due to this sliding guide, the tension belt can be attached quickly and then fixed in the desired position under tension. The attachment of the tension belt on the second cross bar always ensures a secure fit of the belt.

For this purpose, in a further embodiment, the second transverse web has a contact surface for the tension belt, with the contact surface preferably being arranged perpendicular to the longitudinal direction of the base element. A defined pressing and contact surface for the tension belt is provided by the contact surface. Due to the fact that the contact surface is arranged perpendicularly to the longitudinal direction and the tensioning belt loops around the second transverse web and is tensioned, both the clamping forces on the contact surface and the tensioning forces in the belt are increased. At the same time, this counteracts the tension belt slipping between the contact surface and the clamping element.

In a further variant, the second transverse web has a trapezoidal cross section, with the second transverse web having a sunken area opposite the contact surface. The trapezoidal shape is particularly suitable for the loop-shaped guidance of the tension belt. The recessed area supports the tensioning and pressing of the tensioning belt against the contact surface, in that the tensioning belt can be pretensioned with the fingers via the cross bar.

An important embodiment of the invention provides that the clamping device has a clamping element, with the clamping element being pivotably mounted between the longitudinal webs. The selected positioning of the clamping element between the longitudinal webs allows both a rapid relaxation of the tensioning device and thus a rapid release of the tension belt as well as the equally fast and reliable fixing of the tension belt on the transverse web and thus in the tensioning section of the base element.

The clamping element presses the tension belt against the second transverse web, in particular against the contact surface of the transverse web, preferably by means of a spring force. As a result, the tension belt in always securely fixed in a defined position after clamping. At the same time, the fixation can be quickly released at any time by actuating the clamping element against the spring force and the tension belt and thus the item of luggage can be fixed in a different position. When the clamping element is actuated, the restoring force required for pivoting back is stored in the spring and is automatically released again when the clamping element is released, so that the tension belt is fixed again.

The clamping element preferably has a pivot axis, the pivot axis being arranged in the longitudinal webs. By arranging a swivel axis in the longitudinal webs of the basic element, further elements can be attached to the axis. The pivot axis serves primarily as a functional axis, but at the same time as a kind of load-bearing axis. Additional elements, such as a spring and a clamping element, can be mounted on the pivot axis without any problems. At the same time, this ensures a more compact construction of the clamping device.

In this case, the longitudinal webs preferably have lateral openings for accommodating the pivot axis. This facilitates the assembly and disassembly of the swivel axis. The pivot axis can be designed, for example, in the form of a rivet or pin connection.

According to a preferred embodiment, the clamping element has a toothed geometry, with the toothed geometry interacting with the tension belt and the contact surface of the second transverse web. The tooth geometry is particularly advantageous for generating a reliable clamping effect. The tooth geometry interacts frictionally with the tension belt. In the initial position, the teeth of the tooth geometry rest on the tension belt and press it against the contact surface. By simply pressing the clamping element, the tooth geometry lifts off the tension belt and the clamping and tensioning effect is released as desired.

The teeth of the tooth geometry are preferably angled in the direction of a pulling direction of the tension belt. The fact that the teeth are angled in the direction of tensile force of the tensioning belt prevents the tensioning belt from loosening by itself. The tension belt is only relaxed and can be released when the clamping element is pressed and the teeth detach from the tension belt and the pressing surface due to the pivoting movement of the clamping element.

In a preferred embodiment, the spring force is generated by a spring that acts between the base element and the clamping element. This can in particular be a so-called torsion spring. Due to the specific structural design, the torsion spring is particularly suitable for applying a restoring force after the clamping element has been actuated. In the central area, the torsion spring runs spirally and has an opening, whereas the protruding spring ends (spring legs) are designed in the shape of lever arms. The pivot axis is guided through the opening. The lever-arm-shaped spring legs are particularly suitable for interacting with the base and clamping element.

According to a preferred embodiment, spring legs are supported on a contact surface of the base element and on a contact surface of the clamping element. The contact surfaces are particularly suitable for applying mechanical resistance, which is required in order to compress the protruding spring legs during a pivoting movement of the clamping element. This ensures that the spring can act mechanically between the base and clamping element via the lever-arm-shaped, protruding spring legs.

It is particularly preferred that the spring encloses the pivot axis. This creates a secure connection between the clamping element, base element and spring. Because the spring encircles the pivot axis, it cannot mechanically detach as easily or cause undesirable clamping effects within the device. The pivot axis, which is formed, for example, by a rivet element and carries the clamping element and the spring, runs through the lateral openings in the longitudinal webs, through openings on the clamping element and through the opening in the central, spiral-shaped area of the spring. The openings mentioned are in particular aligned concentrically with one another and the spring is positioned in particular in a recess provided for this purpose in the clamping element.

According to a further embodiment, the clamping element has an end stop, the end stop bearing against the second transverse web when the clamping element is fully actuated. This measure ensures that the spring-clamping element connection cannot twist or be damaged by excessive pressure. The end stop is tongue-shaped, for example, and rests against the back of the base element in a blocking manner when the clamping element is pushed through.

The clamping element preferably has a depression on the front side, the depression merges into a frontally inclined operating area of the clamping element. The recess improves the grip of the clamping element. When pressing the clamping element, you can, for example, place your thumb in the recess, support it on the inclined actuating area and then apply the necessary pressure force. The deepening counteracts slipping. The inclination runs, in particular, in the opposite direction to the pressure force line of action that results when it is actuated. This increases the rigidity and flexural strength of the clamping element or the actuation area. The inclination of the actuation area also counteracts unwanted slipping.

According to a further embodiment, the clamping element has two spaced-apart elevations, with the distance between the elevations forming a recess for the spring. Due to their bulbous geometry, the elevations support the pivoting movement of the clamping element. The recess between the spaced elevations is particularly suitable for receiving the spring, since the spring has protruding legs.

The spaced elevations preferably have openings for the pivot axis. The openings of the elevations represent the above-mentioned openings of the clamping element, which are aligned concentrically with the lateral openings in the longitudinal webs and with the opening in the central, spiral-shaped area of the spring. Due to the discussed mechanical design, a particularly compact overall structure is created.

In a further embodiment, the fastening section is hook-shaped. Due to the classic hook shape, the fastening section can be hung easily, safely and quickly on a suitable counter-element.

In this case, the fastening section advantageously has a protruding hook end. Because the end of the hook protrudes and no longer follows the circular shape of the hook, the insertion behavior of the fastening section is made significantly easier. Furthermore, this measure increases the rigidity and the mechanical strength of the hook shape.

Advantageously, the fastening section has an insertion area, the insertion area being delimited by bevels and adapted to the contour of the counter-element. The adaptation of the contour in the insertion area of the fastening section simplifies the interaction of the hook shape with the counter-element. The insertion or the insertion behavior and the latching of the counter-element are advantageously improved as a result.

For this purpose, the fastening section preferably has a receiving area for a first or a second suspension element, the receiving area being designed essentially like an open ring. The open ring shape ensures that the fastening section is securely hooked into the counter-element. The receiving area is designed to be almost circular in cross section, with the receiving area not having a closed circular geometry in cross section, but being provided with an open side where the counter-element is inserted.

It is further provided that the spring bar is fixed or formed on one side on the base element and has a free end which can move resiliently relative to the base element, in particular relative to the hook end.

A simple and inexpensive production is achieved in that the latching element is an elevation, the elevation being formed in one piece with the spring bar and thus with the base element. In this case, for example, a suitable injection molding or 3D printing process can be used.

The fastening section preferably has a recess in the region of the latching element. Preferably, the recess runs around the latching element in a U-shape in longitudinal section. This reduces the rigidity in the area of the latching element and at the same time increases the flexibility of the latching element. This makes it much easier to engage the corresponding counter-element.

According to a further embodiment, the base element has a central transverse web in the transition between the fastening section and the tensioning section, which connects the longitudinal webs to one another. The constructive design of a central transverse web ensures additional mechanical strength when latching, because the latching element is formed in one piece with the base element via the spring web. The latching element is shaped in the direction of the receiving area, so that a U-shaped recess is formed around the latching element. A bevel on the back of the spring bar ensures that the locking element protrudes far enough into the receiving area and can reproduce a secure locking function. The deepening has the effect of saving material and weight and reduces the material costs and the overall weight of the basic element. At the same time, this increases the rigidity in the area of the central cross bar.

In a preferred embodiment, the locking element has a starting bevel in the insertion area. The projecting end of the hook preferably also has a run-up slope in the insertion area. Due to the opposing bevels, the insertion of the counter-element and the guided snap-in function are simplified. After overcoming the run-on bevels, the counter-element snaps into place in the receiving area of the fastening section.

According to a further embodiment, the fastening section can also be attached to a classic loop already provided on the item of luggage. In this case, the snap-in function described above does not apply. A secure attachment is nevertheless guaranteed due to the structural design of the attachment section and the base element. In addition, there is no need for a corresponding counter-element and in this case the clamping device manages with fewer components.

The fastening section preferably has a feed-through opening for a drawstring, with the feed-through opening being formed between the first transverse web and the base element. The feed-through opening makes it easier to attach an additional component to the base element.

The tie wraps around the first transverse web, preferably in the form of a loop. This ensures a safe and simplified detachment of the fastening section from the counter-element. The drawstring is easier to grip than the hook shape of the attachment portion. To release, you only have to pull on the drawstring. Due to the fact that the spring bar with the latching element has its own elasticity and thus flexibility, the fastening section detaches quickly and easily from the counter-element. In order to be able to see the drawstring better even in poor light conditions or at night, it has a signal color, for example red or yellow.

In a further embodiment, the counter-element has openings. The openings advantageously serve to attach the counter-element to the piece of luggage. The counter-element can be riveted to the piece of luggage, for example.

In this context, the counter-element preferably has flattened surfaces on the side facing the piece of luggage. The flattened surfaces improve the fit of the counter-element on the piece of luggage through increased contact pressure in the surfaces. The mechanical stresses that are to be expected in the rivet area can thus be better dissipated, which increases the strength of the rivet connection. Furthermore, this ensures that the counter-element in the area of the openings is not undesirably deformed due to the rivet connection.

The counter-element preferably has lateral protrusions in the area of the openings, the lateral protrusions connecting the first hook-on element to the second hook-on element running in the opposite direction. The lateral protrusions stiffen the counter-element and increase the flexural strength. At the same time, the protrusions act as a kind of protection for the rivet connection, since the stresses are advantageously transferred via the protrusions from the first suspension element to the second suspension element, or vice versa.

According to a preferred embodiment, the tensioning strap has a hook-and-loop fastener for tying the tensioning belt together, with the hook-and-loop fastener being arranged transversely to the direction in which the tensioning belt is pulled. This allows the excess belt length to be quickly and easily wound in a loop and then fixed to the other half of the belt with the Velcro connection. This offers the advantage that the excess belt length after tensioning does not have to be stowed away or hang loose. A cross-shaped quilted seam is preferably formed in the middle of the Velcro fastener. The cross-shaped quilting seam has proven to be a particularly simple and at the same time reliable seam variant.

According to a preferred embodiment, the base element, the clamping element, the counter element and the handle of the drawstring are made of a polymer material, in particular polyamide 66. This represents a material that is particularly well suited for the application. The components mentioned can also be manufactured using fast and cost-effective injection molding processes or using 3D printing. The mechanically loaded spring and rivet elements are preferably made of a metallic material, in particular stainless steel. This counteracts the risk of corrosion due to moisture and at the same time ensures the necessary mechanical strength. However, the base element, the clamping element and the counter-element can also have a metallic material or, depending on requirements, another material or material combinations.

Preferably, all sharp edges of the entire fixture are chamfered. This reduces the risk of users stretching the Vor direction or when detaching the base element from the counter-element can cause cuts.

1 shows a clamping device 1 according to the invention for securing items of luggage 2 on a vehicle. As can be seen, the clamping device 1 has a base element 10 which is attached to a counter-element 40 fastened to the item of luggage 2 . The tensioning device 1 also has a tensioning belt 30 for fixing the device to the vehicle and a clamping device 20 for tensioning and fixing the tensioning belt 30 . Here, the tension belt 30 is like 1 shows, out between the base element 10 and clamping device 20 and set in a tensioned position.

By adding the 2 , 2a and 2 B It can be seen that the base element 10 has a fastening section BA facing the counter-element 40 and a clamping section SA facing away from the counter-element 40 . The base element 10 is essentially frame-shaped, extends in a longitudinal direction L and has two longitudinal webs X, Y. It can also be seen that the clamping device 20 and the tension belt 30 are each integrated or arranged in the tensioning section SA of the base element 10 .

The attachment section BA is hook-shaped so that it can be hooked into the counter-element 40 and the longitudinal webs X, Y have lateral openings 12 for receiving a pivot axis 22 . The base element 10 also has a first transverse web 13 in the fastening section BA and a second transverse web 14 in the clamping section SA. It can be seen from the figures that the fastening section BA is narrower in width than the clamping section SA and that a drawstring 50 is wound around the first transverse web 13 in the form of a loop.

The synopsis from 1 and 2 B also makes clear that the tensioning strap 30 encompasses the second transverse web 14 on a rear side RS of the base element 10, the tensioning strap 30 being wound in a loop around the second transverse web 14 and then being carried out again on a front side VS. The tension belt 30 rests against the crossbar 14 and is guided in a sliding manner on it.

As above all the sectional view in 2 examined in more detail, the second transverse web 14 is trapezoidal in cross section and has a sunken area 17 . It can be seen that the clamping device 20 has a clamping element 21 which is pivotably mounted in the longitudinal webs X, Y. The clamping element 21 presses the tension belt 30 in a tensioned position via a tooth geometry 23 onto a contact surface 15. The teeth of the tooth geometry are angled in the direction of a pulling direction Z of the tension belt 30. The contact surface 15 is arranged perpendicularly to the longitudinal direction and the clamping element 21 is arranged in the longitudinal webs X, Y via the pivot axis 22 . The longitudinal webs X, Y are provided with lateral openings 12 for receiving and mounting the pivot axis 22 (see 2a and 2 B) .

From the sectional view of 2 also shows that the clamping device 20 has a spring 24 , the spring 24 acting between the base element 10 and the clamping element 21 via contact surfaces 16 and 29 and via protruding spring legs 28 . The spring 24 encloses the pivot axis 22. The clamping element 21 also has an end stop 32, which comes to rest on the back of the base element 10 when it is fully actuated.

the 3a and 3b show the details of the clamping element 21. This has a depression 37 in the direction of the front side VS of the base element 10, the depression 37 merging into an actuating region 33 on the edge. The actuation area 33 or edge area, which is slightly higher than the depression 37, simplifies the actuation of the clamping element 21. It can also be seen that the clamping element 21 has two spaced apart parts Has elevations 27, each forming a bearing for the pivot axis 22, wherein the distance between the elevations 27 forms a recess 25 for receiving the spring 24. The elevations 27 are provided as bearing elements with openings 26 for receiving the pivot axis 22 .

By looking back at the 1 2, 2a and 2b, it can be seen that the fastening section BA has a protruding hook end 7, an insertion area 4 for the counter-element 40 and a receiving area 3.

By adding the 5 it can be seen that the insertion area 4 is adapted to the contour of the counter-element 40 . The receiving area 3 is essentially shaped like an open ring and serves to receive a first hanging element 43 or a second hanging element 44. 5 FIG. 12 further shows that the counter-element 40 has openings 41 for attachment to the item of luggage 2, the counter-element 40 being provided with flattened surfaces 42 on the side facing the item of luggage 2. Furthermore, lateral protrusions 45 are arranged on the counter-element 40 in the area of the openings 41 .

The fastening section BA is provided with a latching element 11, the latching element 11 being formed on a spring bar 35a (see FIG 2 ). One end of this spring bar 35a is formed on the base element 10, preferably in one piece with it. The opposite end 35b is designed as a free end, so that the spring bar 35a can yield elastically against a restoring force as soon as the hook-shaped fastening section BA is hung on the counter-element 40 . Accordingly, a recess 9 is formed between the upper end of the fastening section BA and the free end 35 of the latching element. The locking element 11 is preferably an elevation on the spring bar 35a, which is formed in one piece with the spring bar 35a.

In the transition between the attachment section BA and the clamping section, the longitudinal webs X, Y are connected to one another via a central transverse web 36, the transverse web delimiting a recess 34 (see Fig 2a) .

It can also be seen that the latching element 11 on the spring bar 35a interacts with the first or second suspension element 43, 44 of the counter-element 40 when the fastening section BA is suspended. Here, both the latching element 11 and the protruding hook end 7 in the insertion area 4 of the attachment section BA each have a run-on bevel 5, 6.

The fastening section BA is also equipped with a feed-through opening 8 for the drawstring 50 , the feed-through opening 8 being formed between the first transverse web 13 and the base element 10 .

6 shows the tensioning device 1 with tensioning belt 30 and a hook and loop fastener 31 for fixing the excess belt length after tightening the tensioning belt 30. From the top view it is clear that the hook and loop fastener 31 for the excess belt length of the tensioning belt 30 is arranged transversely to the direction of tensile force Z. A quilted seam 38 in the shape of a cross is provided at the height of the Velcro fastener 31 .

The invention is not limited to one of the embodiments described above, but can be modified in many ways. The base element, clamping element, counter-element and handle of the drawstring can have a polymer material. The spring and the pivot axis are preferably made of a metallic material. The counter-element is not absolutely necessary for fastening the tensioning device. The basic element or the hook-shaped fastening section can also be fastened to items of luggage with a commercially available loop.

The clamping device according to the invention can generally be used to secure any type of luggage on vehicles. In particular, the clamping device for pieces of luggage (in the vehicle rear area) of motorcycles is provided.

It can be seen that a clamping device for securing items of luggage on a vehicle has a base element for attachment to a counter-element which can be attached to an item of luggage. The device also has a tensioning belt for fixing the tensioning device to the vehicle and a clamping device for tensioning and fixing the tensioning belt in a tensioned position. The base element of the clamping device thus integrates two functions, with the base element having a fastening section facing the counter-element for fastening the base element to the counter-element, with the base element being able to be hung in the counter-element with the fastening section, with the base element having a clamping section facing away from the counter-element for guiding and fixing of the tension belt, and wherein the clamping device is integrated in the tensioning section of the base element.
