Description

Lashing strap for closing and securing tailgate and trunk locks as well as securing loads in vehicles using the lashing recesses attached to the vehicle (lashing points, lashing eyes, etc.);

Lashing straps with the usual end fittings do not allow connection to the locking elements used in trunk and tailgate locks.

When transporting goods, it is sometimes necessary to transport the load with the trunk lid / tailgate not closed (locked).

It is very important to close the tailgate or trunk lid as much as possible in order to:

1. Losing or shifting the load >

or :

2. To prevent accidental, complete opening during transport.

3. To prevent damage caused by rattling of the tailgate or trunk lid.

Application

The invention described in the claims (and shown in the sketch) enables the lashing strap to be connected quickly and safely to the usual trunk tailgate locks.

and

The end piece A (see sketch) is inserted into the locking element of the lock (see sketch - direction of the arrow) until the lock closes.

Since the moving parts of the lock work according to the same principle in almost all motor vehicles, the end fittings can be used universally.

The connection of the end fitting B (see sketch) with the fixed part of the locking element (lock) can be made in two ways depending on the nature of the locking element: i

1. If the fixed bolt of the lock is connected to the vehicle at both ends, the bolt is inserted into the hook of the end piece B (via the opening marked 1 in the sketch.) i

If end fittings A + B are each connected to one part of the lock, the lashing strap can be tightened using a shortening element.

2. If the fixed bolt of the lock is free-standing (i.e. only connected to the vehicle at one of its ends), the opening of the end fitting B marked 2 in the sketch is placed over it. I

Due to the tapered shape of the opening, the bolt is firmly connected to the end fitting B by means of a clamping force.

If end fittings A + B are each connected to a part of the lock, the lashing strap can be tightened using a shortening element. j

This means that end fitting B can also be used universally, as a connection with free-standing bolts as well as with bolts that are fixed on two sides is possible, and only these two variants are used in the area in question.

The design of the end fittings A+B also makes it possible to use the straps for securing loads in or on the vehicle i (roof rack). |

For this purpose, the end fittings can be connected to the vehicle-side lashing eyes (lashing points, lashing recesses, etc.). j
