Description

The The invention relates to a closure for detachably connecting two components, according to the generic term of claim 1.

at such a device, for example in the form of a closure for one closed by a lid container it is known the temple made of round steel essentially rectangular. That sets preconditioned that the device on the first component with respect to the Hook on the second component must be aligned exactly to the later To ensure a safe closing. For example, in aluminum containers sets the tight manufacturing tolerances, because the lid on the upper edge of the container as possible evenly rests, However, the seal should be relieved in the edge area, too to ensure an undiminished sealing effect after repeated use.

During the Transports are containers on conveyor belts, forklifts, in holds As well as in stack racks a robust operation exposed, wherein the containers often sideways sliding past each other. Besides, they are shaking while suspended from transport.

It is therefore an object of the present invention, in particular for containers, a Robust closure according to the preamble to provide from claim 1, the vibrations during transport, shocks during Loading etc. Stops without to open, and at the same time allows an extension of the manufacturing tolerance.

These The object is achieved by claim 1 solved. Advantageous developments emerge from the subclaims.

Particularly according to the invention Cheap it is that the invention obliquely embossing web contributes to the special stiffening of the lever part. According to the invention is about in his extension the bow swivel axle stored. The storage preferably consists without further ado of appropriate Holes, in each of which engages an end of the bracket. Since the temple in that regard has no continuous axis, the lever part is particularly susceptible to tilting, just when, for example, during continuous handling of a container, on the closure is attached, a side abutment of the closure done, over the leverage of the stirrup also acts on the lever part.

Of the embossing web extends between a depression, which favorably also for the recording a label body or a tag body can serve, and an edge bead and is formed as - possibly partially curved - inclined surface.

Prefers is the edge bead of the lever part circumferentially, what the stiffener especially benefits, so that the material thickness compared to the stand the technique chosen lower can be, or even with the same thickness a significantly improved stability is feasible.

Especially Cheap it is when about in the extension of the embankment the bow swivel axle runs. The embankment can for example at an angle of about 45 ° to the main extension direction of the bracket part run. From the embankment From then considered the bow swivel axis provided at an angle of about 60 ° be, it being understood that due to the at least end curved Design of the embossing ridge a precise definition is not appropriate.

Of the inventive embossing web with the schwenkachsennahen edge bead also allows a comparatively wide version to realize the lever part. This allows the damage security Reduce significantly with the same force caused by the notorious "box scrape". For example The width of the lever part can be 5.5 cm at a length without end gripping tongue of 6 cm, so that there is a significantly increased stability. Especially in a wide embodiment of the lever part affects the realization of the invention of the embankment cheap.

It is according to the invention also possible, first with the same trained and embossed or stamped lever part a closure with labeling body, with Aufspringsicherung or to realize with lock. Due to the comparatively wide Design leaves attach a lock sunk in the upper part of the recess, being sunk on the overlay on the indentation, a significant projection of the castle over the surface prevents the lever part.

in this connection let yourself Combine the Aufspringsicherung easily with the lock.

According to the invention recessed arrangement of the gripping handle of the leaf spring, which for the application can be realized, favorable, because even when clashing of containers the one closure according to the invention wear, it is ensured that the Aufbringsicherung not actuated becomes.

Due to the circumferentially arranged edge bead is also ensured that the gripping tongue comes to rest on the highest level of the lever part. This is particularly important in glove operation of the lever part, because in such an arrangement then also fits a gloved human finger under the gripping tongue.

Particularly according to the invention Cheap it is that by the castle broadening the load-swing stability of the lock according to the invention is significantly increased. In the case of the experiments according to the invention, it was found that with a closing robot, the 20000 locks made, the closing force at commercial locks was reduced to 20%. In the solution according to the invention, the closing force was on just dropped 80%, so much larger.

According to the invention the coat hanger a height / width ratio of more than 2: 1, for example, a height of 28 mm and a width of 65 mm. A centrally arranged hook thus allows a significantly improved Travel of the strap, so that the load cycling of the bracket is significantly reduced.

The inventive device has for example from lid and bottom existing containers the Advantage that both the hook of the closure and the base part attached to the respective components with a certain manufacturing tolerance could be. Preferably, the tolerance and the design are against shocks and vibrations coordinated so that the deflection neither in the Assembly still during the Use of the container Completely is reduced. In this way is also an optimal Aufspringsicherung while ensured the entire service life of the container.

advantageously, is provided that the edge beads are formed substantially circumferentially and a substantially rectangular recess in the pivotable Enclose the lever part, where the pivot axis opposite end the pivotable lever part is designed as a handle. To this Way, the handle is lifted off the container wall so that they too can be easily operated with gloves.

The Edge beads stiffen the lever part so that it is relatively light and thinner Material can be produced as known closures.

There the edge beads advantageously over the handle away from each other are connected and together the recess in the pivotable lever part enclose and have a continuous free surface, builds the entire Device relatively flat, so fits completely into the outline profile of the Container, have the corresponding example in aluminum containers edge reinforcements. Projecting parts are thereby avoided and the device is especially for robust operation on conveyor belts etc. suitable, because advantageously the edge beads each at the the depression opposite, outward directed flank have an inclined surface. So should closures rub against each other, press they have the appropriate containers apart, without closures or container to damage.

A Further stabilization of the device is achieved in that the edge beads in the direction of the base projecting flanges or side legs of a U, which in the closed position the device in the direction of the lever part projecting flanges overlap at the base part. It thus arise essentially U-shaped Profiles that are about to increase stiffen the strength of each other.

At least a pair of adjacent flanges may advantageously each with a through hole for a padlock and / or a through hole for a seal.

A constant closure tension during the entire service life of the container is achieved by the fact that the hanger made of spring steel and in the central area of his belt is deflected in the direction of the pivot axes. This way will the tolerance compensation increases during assembly and remains during use even with shakes the closure tension exist.

Around the advantages of a toggle closure in the device full exploit, it is provided that the second pivot axis of the bracket relative to the first Schwenkachsel for the pivotable lever part offset in the direction of the plate of the base part is arranged.

On this way, the device is additionally secured, but can a further fuse be provided in such a way that in the Deepening of the pivotable lever part a recess for receiving a locking projection of a fixed to the base part Leaf spring is provided.

A against damage protected marking of the container is achievable by the fact that the recess of the pivotable lever part is designed to receive a clip whose free surface with the free surfaces the edge beads and the handle is aligned.

In the drawing is an embodiment reproduced the invention, which is explained in more detail with reference to the following description.

It demonstrate:

1 the closure in perspective view, in a somewhat closed container; and

2 a section through the closure according to 1

In the illustrated embodiment, it is a closure, essentially toggle type, for a container, wherein a base part 10 on a first component 11 fixed, which is formed by the wall of the container.

A second component 21 can be designed as a lid for the container, which is so closable.

The first component 11 Can also be used as a lid and the second component 21 be formed as a container body. The components may also be closable housing cover or other parts or devices which can be connected by the closure according to the invention non-positively.

In the illustrated embodiment, the base part 10 a plate 14 , with whom he works on the first component 11 is attached. On both sides of the plate 14 are from this approximately vertically projecting flanges 15 . 16 , whose free ends unwindings, bends od. Like. 151 . 161 for reinforcement.

On the second component 21 is a hook-shaped part 23 arranged in the way that a strap 22 of the temple 20 with the hook 23 can be brought into engagement.

The coat hanger 20 consists of spring steel and the central area 24 of the belt 22 is in the direction of its pivot axis 33 bent such that during the entire service life of the container a constant closure voltage is ensured.

The arc 24 is in the closed position of the device with the hook-shaped part 23 in frictional engagement. In this case, the arrangement is preferably affected in such a way that even in the closed state, a remainder of the bend is maintained, that is, the closure always under one of the bracket 20 outgoing bias is available.

In the area of the temple 20 is in the flanges 15 and 16 a first axis 13 provided to the a lever part 30 is pivotally mounted.

The lever part 30 is substantially rectangular and preferably has edge beads on all sides 31 . 32 , in the area of the bow pivot axis 33 for the temple 20 are arranged.

The edge beads 31 . 32 are substantially annular and enclose a substantially rectangular recess 34 in the pivotable lever part 30 , where the pivot axes 13 . 33 opposite end of the pivotable lever part 30 as a gripping tongue 37 is trained.

The edge beads 31 and 32 are over the grip tongue 37 connected with each other and together enclose the depression 34 in the pivotable lever part 30 and thus form a continuous free surface. The depression 34 is designed to receive a clip or identification body whose free surface with those of the edge beads 31 . 32 and the gripping tongue 37 flees.

However, the inclusion of the identification body is only possible if the Aufspringsicherung with the local leaf spring 12 not realized, not even a lock 49 is provided. This is in 2 shown, which shows an embodiment of the bracket part without these two elements.

The edge beads 31 and 32 point in the direction of the base part 10 projecting flanges 35 . 36 on, in the closed position of the device in the direction of the lever part 30 the projecting flanges 15 . 16 on the base part 10 spread.

The edge beads 31 and 32 are each at the recess 34 opposite, outwardly directed flank with an inclined surface 39 provide a Voranegleitbeigleiten without causing damage to the closures or containers allow.

In the illustrated embodiment, the closure is designed in the manner of a toggle lever such that the first pivot axis 13 between the belt 22 of the temple 20 and the bow pivot axis 33 located.

Here is the bow pivot axis 33 opposite the first pivot axis 13 for the pivotable lever part 30 in the direction of the plate 14 of the base part 10 staggered, so that the shutter does not open unintentionally even when shaken. An additional safeguard is achievable by having in the recess 34 the pivotable lever part 30 a ramp 41 for receiving one on the base part 10 attached leaf spring 12 is provided, which has a slot 50 passes in the depression.

At the lower free ends of at least one of the flange pairs 15 . 35 respectively. 16 . 36 can in the range of the handle 37 a through hole 18 respectively. 38 be provided for attaching a seal and another through hole for attaching a lock.

Out 2 is also quite good the realization of the ramp 41 the inclusion of a locking projection 42 intended. Due to this special solution, it is possible to have a good grip locking projection 42 to realize that double sinking, so opposite to the depression 34 sunk even further, at the temple part 20 attacks.

Also is off 2 seen that the embossing 54 runs at an angle whose extension is just next to the bow pivot axis 33 extends, and that, from the edge bead-side approach of the embossing 54 from within, within the angle that exists between the bow pivot axis 33 and that of the margins 31 . 32 stretched over the swept area.

Out 2 is also evident that the hanger 20 in the middle area 56 under training of the bow 24 something is lowered. This results in only a central support on the hook 23 ( 1 ), which benefits the improvement of the spring action.
