Description

FIELD OF THE INVENTION

The The invention relates to a handle, in particular retaining loop in vehicles, with a belt shaped in the shape of an eight bend elastic material with a loop for holding and a loop for fastening and a multi-part socket for Holding the loops relative to each other.

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

Such handles have long been known. A made of a one-piece belt handle is in the DE 78 24 276 U1 described, in which for three held in the socket connecting portions of the one-piece belt per two individual cantilevers each loop position and the collar pins are positioned and dimensioned perforations of the belt provided. In this case, the support pins are arranged on opposite inner sides of a rectangular socket ring for two belt sections, while the two Kragzapfen for the third belt portion to a stand-alone, insertable into the socket member are arranged such that the third pin pair comes to rest between the two ring inside pin pairs. The threading of the male in the mounting ring requires a considerable skill, especially since this insertion can only be done when two belt sections are already introduced into the associated pin of the mounting ring. In order to ensure sufficiently large holding forces all components of the two-part version would have to be made of relatively high-quality material and / or with very large dimensions.

Moreover, it is known to use generic handles as advertising material. For this the beats DE 203 09 342 U1 to produce the retaining loop part of such a handle from two transparent PVC parts welded together and to insert a suitably dimensioned, ready-made, individually printed advertising medium from a strong carrier material between the two PVC parts.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION

From that the invention is based on the problem of a handle to create, with low material costs high holding forces guaranteed. Desirable is also a quick replaceability or mounting the handles by little or no trained Personnel without compromising safety. Another object of the invention is to provide a device as Promotional handle, despite low production costs Ensures the required safety.

to Solution of this problem is a handle with the features of claim 1 proposed.

The Invention is therefore based on the idea, inside a the retaining strap zusammenspannenden socket the belt holes penetrating fasteners in a block-like structure summarize. This will force transmission between Belt and socket in the area of the perforation with minimal belt weakening optimized. Clawing agents according to claim 7 act independently on the belt in the sense of a power transmission. This is possible without the tensile strength of the belt all too to weaken very much, especially if this is done laterally by Longitudinal reinforcing fibers or fiber strands takes place within the belt acting Krallmittel. Such claw agents are of inherently inventive significance. At a Combination of block-like holding agent formation in the punched area and on the belt surface acting claws, be the forces between the socket and the belt in one Transmitted manner that both the belt and the socket even with extreme shock loads, as z. B. occur in rear-end collisions of a means of transport, can withstand the stresses. This with simultaneous use the straps made of novel materials in this area, which a multi-functionality of the belt, z. Belly as advertising material at a reasonable cost.

In order to improve the pull-out strength of the handle, its loops and / or the socket for extreme loads, it is proposed to form double-layered loops for attachment to a carrier (second). For this purpose, the two end regions of the belt are preferably superimposed on one another in order to achieve the double layer in the region of the (second) loop which is used for attachment to the carrier. To fasten both loop layers, the belt 4 on both sides of the (second) loop forming end portions provided perforations of the belt, which are held together by the multi-part frame and in particular interspersed with a holding block. Handles with a two-ply second loop for attachment to a support are - independently of the feature of claim 1 - of independent inventive importance. It is particularly advantageous when the inner end region of the belt forming the second loop is shorter than the outer end region, so that the two end regions abut each other over their entire length in use. As a result, particularly high Reibungskräf in case of load te, which relieve the connection point on the socket.

advantageous Embodiments of the invention, taken alone are of independent inventive importance from claims 2 to 38.

The Width of the belt is comparatively large and is about between 30 mm and 50 mm, preferably at about 40 mm. hereby can not only transfer low high holding forces but allow this belt also a slight deformation the belt cross section between the two side edges, so that the side surfaces of the belt are concave or convex and thus customize the user's hand.

If the belt of fabric reinforced material or coated Tissue or other multilayer support layer is so For example, the coating may be selected in a manner that allows a special appearance and / or permanent printability, without the tensile strength of the belt suffers or a high material costs is required. Belt made of multi-layer material also allow an individual color of at least the visible Outside in connection with a printing or too without printing. The producible holding forces thus suffer not so under the printability of the outer layer. on the other hand the outer layer can be chosen comparatively thin so they can do so even if they have little strength contributes, requires only a minimal amount of material. Be particularly advantageous on both sides coated with PVC Tissue, in particular PSE fabric (polyester fabric) as tissue is preferred. The PVC coating is a so-called soft coating, in particular in a thickness between 0.5 and 2.0 mm per coating side prefers. Under soft coating is in particular such PVC coating understood to be a phosphate-containing plasticizer includes; preferred are proportions by weight of 10-30% such a plasticizer. The PVC coating may additionally Flame retardants and / or colored pigments included.

If the loop at least on your visible side of through-dyed Material, in particular through-dyed PVC, in a signal color exists, so it is not only the security for the Passenger increases because he gets the position of the grab faster but also achieved an improved advertising impact. When Signal colors are next to preferred for printing White shades are especially bright colors, such as signal red, signal yellow, signal orange, signal green, magenta and other. The latter are especially suitable for the "inside" the wrist strap.

If at least the visible outside of the loops a coating obtained from thermoplastic material, in particular, if a PVC coating selected from thermoplastic PVC becomes, thereby u. a. opened up the possibility separated from wider webs, processable as a retaining loop Strip at their cut longitudinal edges by z. B. form thermomechanical shaping as so-called soft edges.

to Printing can be chosen from a wide variety of printing methods be a pressure in the so-called Saugtischverfahren (flatbed machine with under pressure printing table) a particularly high print quality and ensures durability of the print. In this process rest the substrate to be printed on a flat surface and a push-button bends in the X-direction and the underlay in the Y-direction. The printing is preferably done in digital technology.

Especially preferred for the printing are light-curing, especially UV-curing inks. These have connected with the flexibility of the loop material and the high Stress caused by constant touching and deformation of the loops proved to be particularly durable.

When Further printing techniques particularly preferred is the printing in blasting technique, where a large variety of points in a row in separate pressurized fluid jets is applied to the substrate. This is done in the piezo technique.

If at least the printed side of the loops a coating layer (after the printing layer), thereby the attractiveness becomes special received long. Such a coating layer is preferred z. B. from clearcoat. UV-curing clearcoats meet the protective purpose very well and make for a special attractive optical brilliance. A preferred layer thickness for the, preferably transparent, coating layer is in the order of magnitude of 10 μm.

A PVC coating is especially useful because the grab handles by using with dirty hands or due to Sweat secretions of hands considerable chemical Loads and soiling are exposed. Relatively long-lasting Appearance and good printability is ensured by suitable material selection reached for the surface, z. B. by a PVC coating.

To have relatively wide handles with their It is proposed that at least portions of the surfaces of the belt comprise antibacterial material for a user's hand to meet hygienic needs. As such, it is possible to provide the entire strap material with antibacterial properties, but it is usually sufficient to incorporate or apply antibacterial material to the surface, it being sufficient to provide those strap portions in this manner, which are usually grasped by the hands of a user ,

Prefers be qualities with a tensile strength of> 2000 N / 5 cm, preferably of 4000 N / 5 cm and more.

In spite of the individual design of the handles and the circumstances relatively short usage period compared to not used as an advertising medium Handles, compliance with safety standards is important. Experiments have proved that grab handles, the aforementioned or claimed characteristics, even the strict European ones Maintain safety standards for local passenger transport can, without the handle being appreciable expensive. To mention here are aspects of smoke or fire protection and the strength under such extreme loads.

The the aforementioned and the claimed and in the embodiments described to be used according to the invention Components are subject in size, shape design, Material selection and technical conception no special exceptions, so that the selection criteria known in the field of application unrestricted Application can be found.

Further Details, features and advantages of the subject matter of the invention emerge from the dependent claims, as well as from the following description the accompanying drawing and table, in the - example - a Embodiment of a handle is shown.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS

Out 1 is a total with 10 designated handle, which serves as a retaining loop in vehicles and a one-piece belt 12 made of a flexible material and one of two, identical in the example, identical half-shells 14A . 14B existing version. In a conventional manner forms the one-piece belt 12 bent in the shape of an eight, a first bend 12A which forms the actual handle, and a second loop 12B for attachment to a carrier of the vehicle.

How out 2 and 3 it can be seen, the belt points 12 in the area of half-shells 14A and 14B existing version perforations 13 for the passage of a central holding block 17 on the inside of the half shell 14A is centrally located and to be surrounded by the half-shells receiving space for the belt 12 in the area of belt perforations 13 interspersed. The opposite half shell 14B indicates one with the holding block 17 corresponding place a recording block 17B on, the two retaining elements 16A . 16B wearing. These are in the illustrated and so far preferred embodiment of a peg-shaped and can be in holding element receptacles 17A of the holding block 17 insert, so that the holding block 17 at its freely projecting end on the opposite half shell 14B is fixed. - Basically, the at least one holding element and its inclusion on or in the holding block 17 be realized in different ways. - In the illustrated embodiment, two holding elements 16A . 16B in the belt longitudinal direction, as preferred, arranged at a mutual distance one behind the other. Between them is at their recording block 17B a reinforcing agent 19A arranged ( 2 B ) which z. B. is annular and cooperates with a corresponding design on the projecting front end of the holding block 17 , Both the holding block 17 as well as the recording block 17B have a Durchgangsöff tion, which is located between the positions of the holding elements 16A and 16B and the associated holding element receptacles 17A located and can serve as a receiving means for a break-out, as for receiving a bolt or a blind rivet, if with particularly high acting on the belt mount forces can be expected, which could lead to a tearing of the socket out of the hole or otherwise bursting the socket. A weakening of the belt is not caused despite this additional security option. The forces to be transmitted to the belt holes are on the single holding block 17 concentrated. Here is an approximately oval cross-sectional shape of the holding block 17 to mention, by the belt width only relatively low-consuming belt perforations at the same time low risk of tearing for the belt at Lochungsrand requires. Incidentally, the projecting length of the holding block 17 be chosen freely. For example, from each of the half-shells, a sub-block may project inwardly and penetrate the belt holes by a corresponding amount, while the at least one retaining element may be provided on the one sub-block and its receptacle on the other sub-block. The ua in 2 B and 3L shown recording block 17B can therefore be extended to a sub-block.

The insides of the half-shells 14A . 14B have in the illustrated and insofar preferred embodiments Krallmittel 23 for impressing in the adjacent belt surface. These claw means are preferably like a strip (strip 23B ) and leave in belt transverse direction of spaced recesses 23A , The (not shown in the drawing) fiber strands, which in the belt 12 incorporated and can be arranged in the longitudinal direction with a lateral distance from each other, overlap. With such an association between the claw means or the intervening recesses and such fiber strands, the fiber strands remain largely unencumbered by the forces emanating from the frame and thus also unattenuated.

The strips carrying the claw means 23B the two half-shells are in the embodiments according to 2 and 3 (seen in the belt longitudinal direction) offset from one another, which may cause, inter alia, a certain waviness of the belt in the region of the socket and serves for further power absorption between socket and belt. The claw agents 23 are truncated to reduce the notch effect on the belt. The half shells 14A . 14B have at the inlet and outlet edges of the belt crowned shaped outlet strips 24A . 24B on to notch and shear forces on the belt 12 to keep low. Springy locking connection means 25A . 25B on the narrow sides of the socket enable a quick and secure connection of the half-shells 14A . 14B usually without tools and sufficient for safe closing of the socket and setting of the belt in many applications.

In the exemplary embodiments illustrated in greater detail 3 Other features are provided:

3A to 3H show the half shell 14A a retaining strap socket. 3A shows the different cutting positions, 3D perspective views of inside and 3F from the outside as well 3B a narrow-side and 3C an end view.

3I to 3P show the second half shell 14B in which 3I the cutting positions and at the same time represents an interior view while 3L and 3N show perspective views as inside and outside view. 3J is a narrow side view and 3K an end view.

3Q to 3W show the version in an assembled form, where 3Q the cutting layers and 3T a perspective view as well 3R a narrow-side and 3S shows an end view.

In 3A to 3W are the same reference numerals as in 2A to 2C used. Below are only the Behohderheiten of 3A to 3W in comparison to the embodiment according to 2A to 2C explains: On the narrow sides of the half shell 14A are on the inside web-shaped Krallmittel 26 provided, which extend transversely to the belt longitudinal edges. These serve as a Randverkrallungsmittel with the belt 12 ( 3C and 3S ) and on the other hand increase the bending stiffness of the paired connection means 25A and 25B the two half-shells 14A and 14B ,

The claw agents 23 carrying strips 23B a half-shell ( 14A ) are different high, like out 3C and 3E seen. Their height, with which they protrude into the socket interior takes to the belt edges and thus to the connecting means 25A towards. As a result, the belt surface is subjected to a certain bend in the belt transverse direction, which is assisted by the fact that the opposite half shell 14B in this area z. B. shorter strips 23B with clinging agents 23 Wear and claw near the edge of the belt - and thus close to the lanyard 25B - are missing or comparatively low.

As can be seen, must for mounting the holder handlees inserted one belt section after another in the first half-shell and the second half-shell are pushed from the opposite side until the connecting means 25A . 25B lock together. This is possible without tools and safely carried out by a non-trained assistant. Unauthorized disassembly without tools is preferably prevented. The half-shells of the socket are usually not reusable and are preferably rejected for safety reasons, especially since these are very inexpensive and recyclable components. The large visible surfaces of the half shells can also be used as advertising space. This is possible by printing, in-mold labeling or inserting printed material behind a viewing window.

Like from the 4A -H, the belt is made 12 a handle, which may consist of a material as explained in the preceding examples, of an elongated belt portion whose mutual end portions (outer end portion 12B '' and inside end area 12B ' ) on both sides of belt-center, approximately oval perforations 13.1 - 13.4 are limited, wherein the inner end region 12B ' ( 4B / 4C ) a smaller distance of the associated perforations 13.2 . 13.3 such that the two end regions in mounting situations for the version ( 4C - 4G ) are exactly aligned with each other and at the same time the Riemenendbereiche, at least in use, rest against each other over their entire length. The perforations correspond with the necessary clearance to the cross section of a holding block 17 the version 14 who in 3 shown, wherein the dimensioning of the socket is adapted to the enlarged by the fourth strap piece package thickness in the region of the socket. The height of the holding block 17 is in 4D and 4E For the sake of clarity, shown overly long. Practically he stands over the perforation 13.4 not out.

When the half shells 14A and 14B is joined together via the loop ends inserted in them ( 4F ), the package can with the help of a pliers-like tool until the engagement of the connecting means 25A . 25B be compressed. The remaining perforation (receiving means 19B ) in the central socket area, which the holding block 17 permeated, can be used in case of need to enforce a blind rivet. At its head end is the holding block with pressure pieces 17C provided that can give the pressure of a blind rivet in case of need, in order to increase the contact pressure of the socket on the belt.
