Description

The invention relates to a carriage for connection to a shaft part, such as a bow, or a top frame of a commercial vehicle body with a corresponding shaft part or bow.

WO 2006/105779 A2 shows a top frame for a tarpaulin structure, with a plurality of along lateral side rail displaceable bow with a shaft portion which has at its two ends in each case a slide inserted into the shaft part, wherein in the region of the carriage folding means for the forced folding of a tarp are connected. In this case, two carriages of adjacent bows are each equipped with a guide means for the pivotable mounting of folding plates designed as folding means, whereby upon mutual displacement of the bow is resting on the folding means and fixed to the bows Plane is raised to an opening between the two lateral side rails release. In this case, the carriages are embodied as one-piece plastic injection-molded parts which have a plug-in section which can be inserted into the shaft part forming the bowing shaft, while a guide section is essentially adapted to the contour and in particular the width of the longitudinal carrier and spans it and can be displaced along the longitudinal carrier. In the region of the plug-in section, guide means for folding means produced in one piece with the carriage are provided, into which ends of folding means designed as folding plates can be inserted. A disadvantage of the known slide is the fact that the forces acting on the bow, levered over the distance to the guide member, in particular in the region of the base plate of the guide member between the connected support rollers and guide rollers is introduced so that it multiplies in this area comes to fractures of the plastic part. Another disadvantage is that due to overloads and / or wear individual components of the plastic part break off easily, whereby a complex replacement of the entire carriage is required. A further disadvantage is that when selecting a different shaft part geometry or when selecting other folding means a new mold for producing a corresponding carriage is required in each case.

DE 20 2010 008 583 U1 shows a bow assembly of a roof frame for a tarpaulin structure, in which a slide of plastic is attached to a metallic shaft part by means of a rivet.

DE 198 39 775 A1 shows a hood frame for a tarpaulin structure, in which a carriage is insertable into a shaft part for producing a displaceable along lateral side member bow, wherein the carriage of a first part, which engages over the side rail substantially, and a second part which the first part engages over and end is designed as a plug-in area and is insertable into the shaft part, wherein the first part is held in Randumbiegungen of the second part. Here are used between the first part and the second part folding means for lifting a tarpaulin. A disadvantage of the hoops is the fact that when lifting the bow, for example, during loading of the tarpaulin structure, the moment acting on the carriage can lead to a hooking of the first part of the Randumbiegung of the second part. Furthermore, the wear-prone folding means for the tarp can not be replaced without disassembly of the carriage.

DE 20 2006 005 850 U1 teaches a carriage for connection to a shaft part, which is displaceable along a guide of a longitudinal member of a top frame of a tarpaulin structure, in which a male part and a guide part are integrally made of a plastic material, wherein the male part has a plug-in end, for insertion into the shaft part is formed, and wherein the guide member is displaceable along the longitudinal member parallel to the longitudinal carrier. The connection of the male part and the guide part is made by the one-piece manufacture of plastic in an appropriate form.

EP 0 459 879 A1 describes a carriage for connection to a shaft part, which is displaceable along a guide of a longitudinal member of a top frame of a tarpaulin structure in which a plate is connected via rivets to the shaft part, wherein the plate engages over the longitudinal member. Further, outside the plate, a carriage is connected to the shaft part, wherein the carriage has a carrying roller and a guide roller. The plate and the carriage are made as separate parts which are not connected to each other.

EP 0 778 169 B1 shows two embodiments of carriages for connection to a shaft part, wherein the carriages are displaceable along a guide of a longitudinal member of a top frame of a tarpaulin structure. The carriages each have a guide part which can be displaced along the longitudinal carrier parallel to the longitudinal carrier and spans the longitudinal carrier in the manner of an inverted U as a sheet metal bent part. At the shank part of the facing leg of the U formed as a saddle plug-in part is formed, which is formed by sheet metal bending integral with the guide member. Plug-in part and guide part are made as a common part and not connected to each other by connecting means.

It is the object of the invention to provide a carriage for connection to a shaft part or a top frame, with a higher load capacity and easier replacement of defective parts is achieved.

This object is achieved by the features according to the independent claim.

The carriage according to the invention for connection to a shaft part is displaceable along a longitudinal carrier, and in particular as a guideway or guide provided on the longitudinal carrier, of a convertible top frame of a tarpaulin structure. In general, a carriage is provided on both sides of the shaft part, for example, to provide a bow, but it is also possible to provide the carriage only at one end of the shaft part, as is the case for example for the trailer of a commercial vehicle body, in which the side tarpaulin and the hanging hanging tongue can be moved along the longitudinal member.

The carriage comprises a plug-in part, which has a plug-in end for insertion into the shaft part, and a guide part which can be displaced along the guide of the longitudinal carrier parallel to the longitudinal carrier. Here, the male part and the guide part are made as separate parts, and the male part and the guide part are connected by connecting rivets together to form the body of a carriage together.

Here, the guide member is substantially adapted to a contour of the longitudinal member transverse to its extension, while the male member is formed substantially for connection to the shaft member. Characterized in that the male part and the guide part are connected to each other, these form a common part, the configuration of the carriage depending on the available, adapted to the respective shaft part male parts and adapted to the respective longitudinal member guide parts provides a corresponding variety.

In particular, this advantageously provides a modular system in which a plurality of guide parts adapted to different profiles of longitudinal members can be combined with a further plurality of plug-in parts adapted to different cross-sections of shaft parts, for which purpose the area of the connection of plug-in part and guide part expediently forms accordingly is to allow the connection by riveting. For example, it may be provided that the corresponding elements of the modular system can be combined with one another at the same locations via corresponding connection means.

The plug-in part is preferably connected to the guide part in such a way that the guide part has a reinforcement in a particularly stressed zone. Particularly stressed is in particular the zone of the guide member, which spans the longitudinal member, since when loading the tarpaulin structures, the braces are often pushed upwards, whereby large moments can act on the claimed zone. Particularly stressed here is the area of the guide part, which runs between the guide rollers and the support rollers.

Preferably, the reinforcement is formed in the claimed zone by superimposed portions of the male part and the guide part, which ensure in the manner of superimposed plates which are mutually substantially immovable, a high resistance to introduced into the guide part bending moments of the type described above.

Conveniently, the portion of the male part provided in the claimed zone is formed by an extension of the bottom of the U-shaped profile of the male end. The extension may be designed in the manner of a projecting tongue from the male part.

In this case, the section of the plug-in part may in principle be provided on the side facing away from the longitudinal carrier side of the longitudinal carrier substantially spanning base plate of the guide member, however, preferably the portion on the longitudinal beam facing side of the base plate is provided so that when lifting the shaft part, the male part and the Guide part not bent apart, but pressed against each other.

Conveniently, the guide member is formed as a U-shaped profile with the base of the U forming base plate, one end of a connecting plate substantially perpendicularly protrudes, which faces the male part, and wherein opposite to the connecting plate and substantially parallel to this of the other end of the base plate protrudes a limiting plate, wherein at one of the base plate end remote from the limiting plate this is bent into a hook. The hook serves, for example, as a lift-out or for attaching and possibly tensioning a tarpaulin.

It is expediently provided that the base plate of the guide part has a connection plate protruding and the base plate extending, provided with an opening Has eye portion which covers a bottom of the male part and / or its extension and whose opening of an opening of the male part is at least partially aligned. In the region of the aligned openings optionally the guide member and the male part can be connected to each other, or other parts are connected to the two male part or guide part.

The male part has in each case to a base of the U-shaped profile of the male part respectively vertically folded leg, which are formed at its end facing the guide member as folded away from each other by about 90 degrees folding sections. The folding sections are connected to the connecting plate substantially perpendicular to the base plate of the guide part, whereby the narrow plug-in part widens in the region of the connection to the connecting plate.

Preferably, the male part is folded from a metal sheet, which is easy to accomplish by its U-shape. Also, the guide member is preferably folded from a metal sheet, so that the resulting slide in a simple manner of two sheet metal parts, which are riveted together, can be produced.

According to one aspect of the invention, a carriage is provided for connection to a shaft part, wherein the carriage is displaceable along a guide of a longitudinal member of a top frame of a tarpaulin structure, comprising a connecting part, preferably designed as a plug-in part, for connection to the shaft part and a guide part the longitudinal beam overlaps and is displaceable along the longitudinal carrier comprises, wherein the connecting part and the guide part are made as separate parts. The carriage is characterized in that the connecting part and the guide part by at least one connecting means, for. B. selected from the group comprising connecting rivets, blind rivets, screws, latching means, adhesive and locking pins are connected to each other, that the guide part comprises a folded metal sheet, and that the connection part is made as a molded part made of plastic. The connection part, which is less stressed by forces than the guide part and has less narrow places, is made as a molding made of plastic, in particular by injection molding. Thus, a complex geometry can be achieved for the connection part. Furthermore, the connecting part, which is preferably designed as a plug-in part, can thus have congruent surfaces and spaces relative to the guide part, which facilitate pre-centering during assembly. As a result, a hybrid carriage is created, which consists of the most stressed areas of sheet metal and at the less stressed areas of plastic. In particular, it is expediently possible to produce an extension and / or guide means for folding means for a tarpaulin integral with the plastic part forming the connection part, so that separate expenditure for the connection of these parts is eliminated. It is possible in this case, vorzuhalten various plastic connector in the context of a kit, z. B. different connection means for tarpaulin folding means, or may be formed without extension, further adapted to be connected to different dimensions of shank parts. For the connection of the connection part and the guide part, a corresponding metal sleeve is preferably enclosed in the connection part as a reinforcement. It is alternatively possible to inject the guide part in the mold for the connection part, whereby the material of the connection part at the same time forms the connection means.

According to a preferred embodiment, it is provided that a base of the guide member extending flat metal strip is like a tongue on a surface of the male part and thus overlaps. The sheet metal strip is in this case preferably arranged in a recess of the male part between the metal strip laterally enclosing areas, so that the top of the sheet metal strip and the side enclosing these areas are substantially at a height. In this case, according to a preferred embodiment, the metal strip overlaps the plug-in part up to its plug-in end, and particularly preferably still has an angling which engages over the plug-end in the manner of a hook, whereby a form-locking partial securing is achieved. Expediently, the plug-in part has at least one groove in the region of the connection of a region folded off from the base of the guide part, into which the folded-off region can be inserted at least at the edge and thus plug-in part and guide part can be pre-connected. Preferably, at least one support roller are arranged in the folded-off region, but it is also possible to arrange the support roller in adaptation to the selected side member profile on a region opposite the folded-off region. Bores in the tongue are aligned with sleeve-reinforced openings in the connector part, thus creating a continuous axis for riveting, and / or when the sleeves have an internal thread screw connection. It is possible that the tongue has steps that are congruent with the top of the connector; In this case, the connection can also fix a holding member which spans the tongue to the connection part. An advantage then is that this can also be a riveting with the shaft part.

According to a preferred embodiment, the connection part or plug-in part at its the Inserting abgekehrten section two - parallel to the plane of the Abfaltbereichs provided - grooves or recesses, in each of the base of the guide part angled Abfaltbereich is at least used on the edge, ie the width of the groove substantially corresponds to the thickness of the Abfaltbereichs. Especially in the embodiment of the guide member made of a plastic material as a stable connector is provided, which avoids in particular in the direction of the axis of the shaft portion and in the direction of the longitudinal axis of the longitudinal support a game or a relative mobility and so creates an at least predominantly positive locking. It is also possible, for further centering the groove and the Abfaltbereich not as preferred form with parallel sides, but with a wedge-shaped shape. Through the tongue, the guide member only vertically, so along the groove to be lifted from the male part - it is therefore advantageous from riveting male and female part normal to the horizontal plane, ie by at least one and preferably by two vertical rivets. The advantage created by the connector pre-composite plug-in part and guide part is thus permanently connected and can possibly be canceled by separating the rivet connection - for example, to replace a defective part -. A particular advantage of this embodiment is that the guide and / or support rollers can already be connected to the guide member prior to assembly with the male part, so that the assembly cost is low.

In particular, if there is a defect in the region of the carriage, the riveting can be destroyed in a simple manner, for example by sawing the rivet head, whereby the male part of the guide member is removable, which in turn the guide member can be lifted from the side member. This makes it possible to exempt a damaged carriage from the side member or the shaft part, without deducting all the beams from the side members, which is not only a disproportionate effort, but also because of the damage in the carriage often the use of tools or the like requires.

Preferably, the male part and the guide part are connected to each other by connecting rivets, that a first and a second Verbindungsniet each perpendicular through mutually perpendicular connection levels, so that in the normal directions to the connection levels low play and high tensile strength is given. In this case, the second connection plane can also have a different connection than with a Verbindungsniet, for example, as described above by mating. A second connection plane is expediently located between the connection plate of the guide part and the folding sections or grooves of the support part, a first connection plane is expediently located between the base plate or eye section or tongue section of the guide part and the extension or the top side of the support part.

The connecting rivets connecting the male part and the guide part are expediently at the same time for supporting a carrying roller or a guide roller. Conveniently, the carriage on two support rollers and a guide roller, and the guide member and the male part are riveted together in the storage of each of these roles, so that the riveting at the same time supports a corresponding role.

At least one perforation for riveting a roller bearing is provided on the guide part in the region of its base. Preferably, two or three holes are provided in a row transverse to the axis of the shank portion, such that the guide member is adaptable to various guide members: first, attaching a single central guide roller to the central hole or two guide rollers to the two outer holes; on the other hand, the guide member may also be a Kunststoffgleitglied, for example made of plastic, which is riveted to one or more of the holes.

According to a preferred embodiment it is provided that a portion of the male part formed as a flat sheet metal strip in the manner of a tongue, abuts with its flat side against a flat side of the base of the guide member, and thereby the extension of the base plate in a direction transverse to the extension of the longitudinal member, ie in imaginary extension of the shaft portion, at least one-fifth, preferably at least covered to a quarter. The covered extension is expediently less than two thirds, preferably less than half of the extension of the base plate. The width of the metal strip in this case is so narrow that it is narrower than the diameter of the guide roller, even narrower than the distance between two adjacent support rollers, so that the support rollers can be mounted close to the base plate without the metal strip the distance from the base plate and reduced carrying roller circumference.

According to one aspect of the invention, a carriage is provided for connection to a shaft part which is displaceable along a guide of a longitudinal member of a top frame of a tarpaulin structure, comprising a male part having a male end for insertion into the shaft part and a guide part along the guide of the longitudinal member is displaceable parallel to the longitudinal carrier comprises, wherein the male part and the guide part are made as separate parts. The carriage is characterized in that at least in an area spaced from a base plate of the guide portion an extension is arranged, which forms a Aushebesperre with a spanned by the guide member horizontal leg of the longitudinal member.

The extension, which secures the carriage against lifting during lifting of the bow, is expediently fixed to one of the plug-in part and guide part and preferably to both parts, for example to the eye section. By a corresponding hole in the body of the extension can be ensured that when providing several extensions each extension is set in the correct position in which this engages under a corresponding horizontal leg of the longitudinal member. This makes it possible in particular that the support rollers can be stored from above on a corresponding track of the longitudinal member. If a slide must be replaced because of damage or defect, the rivet, which determines the extension to the male part or the guide part, destroyed. Here, it is expediently provided that the extension is formed so that it can be moved in the male part, so that advantageously after destroying the extension defining rivet of the extension in the male part of the longitudinal beam releasing the lock towards the shaft portion axially in Direction of extension of the plug can be moved. This makes it possible to provide the guide part detachable upwards.

Conveniently, the extension is made of plastic and protrudes from a block, which is preferably formed as a plastic block and can be easily attached to the carriage, which also no noise or even with resulting in succession suppressed bow resulting contact with a leg of the longitudinal member Spark development when moving along the longitudinal beam arises. In addition, the extension relieved by its abutment on the horizontal leg of the longitudinal member, the support member of a corresponding bending load.

Alternatively, the extension can also be fixed on a projection on a plug-in part and guide part, in particular have a slot, in which the extension is pushed onto the projection. Furthermore, it is alternatively possible to form the extension as an extension of the axes of the support rollers.

In practice, it has been found to be disadvantageous in plastic carriages that the guide means for tarpaulin folding means, such as the folding plates for lifting the tarpaulin of a folding roof, formed, for example, as claws or as a receptacle for axles are relatively often damaged, for example, by rough pushing together and thus abutting the Sled the bow or by violently pressing a roof tarp, which act on the folding plates and thus on the guide means. This results in a relatively frequent failure of a carriage by damage of its guide means for tarpaulin, which requires a complex conversion of the top frame, whereas if a folding plate damage this can be easily replaced.

According to one aspect of the invention it is further provided that a carriage for connection to a shaft part along a guide of a longitudinal member of a top frame of a tarpaulin structure is displaceable and a male part having a male end for insertion into the shaft part and a guide part, along the guide the longitudinal member is displaceable parallel to the longitudinal carrier comprises, wherein the male part and the guide part are made as separate parts, characterized in that at least one of male part and guide part designed as a separate part guide means for folding means are fixed for a tarpaulin. As a result, the guide means for a particularly robust in terms of the given stress can be formed, also easily be replaced if damaged. Furthermore, the guide means can be adapted to the folding means desired by the customer, so that the carriage is in principle arbitrarily variable with respect to the position and the configuration of the guide means and the folding means mounted therein. Particularly preferred is an embodiment of the guide means as a universal guide means, which allow the storage of several different folding means on the same part. Thus, the carriage can be adjusted by a selected from a modular system guide member to the side members according to customer requirements. The carriage can be further adapted by a selected from a modular system male part to the shaft part according to customer requirements. Finally, the carriage can be adapted by a selected from a modular system guide means to the tarpaulin mechanism according to customer requirements. As a result, the slide can be used almost universally on all existing systems of roof frames for tarpaulin structures, not only in the context of a complete kit, but also if individual parts of an existing frame are replaced.

Preferably, the guide means are made as extruded part, in particular made of aluminum, whereby high quantities with good Dimensional accuracy and low damage sensitivity can be produced.

Conveniently, the guide means are pushed onto the male part before it is connected to the shaft part, and held on this by riveting.

The guide means comprise at least one pivot bearing on which a pin of a tarpaulin folding means such as a folding plate is pivotable, so that the folding plate can be erected in the pivot bearing to raise the roof tarp or side tarpaulin.

Preferably, the guide means on both sides of the connection to the male part and thus on both sides of the male part each have a pivot bearing, which is preferably designed as a claw facing away from the male part, wherein the axes of the two pivot bearings are parallel.

Alternatively, the guide means may also be mounted on the upwardly facing side of a base plate of the guide member, or laterally of the base plate, or on the upwardly facing side of the base plate of the male member. The guide means can be adapted as needed to the part to which they are attached, and connected as needed to this. This results in an expanded modular system in which each of the individually configurable slide and the sprung, which can have different lengths, each selected to the desired Planenfaltmechanismen guide means are selected. In particular, it is thus possible to provide the most common folding mechanisms, so that a bow can also be replaced from an existing top system and adapts to it.

Conveniently, means for connecting a tarpaulin are provided on the carriage, as well as the tarpaulin can be connected to the shaft portion of the bow. In particular, a bore is provided for this purpose on the guide part and / or on the plug-in part, can be connected to the tarpaulin by riveting. Conveniently, the connection of the tarpaulin is provided close to the end of the guide part facing away from the shaft part, in order to ensure as far as possible conclusion against contamination, rain and unauthorized access.

According to one aspect of the invention, there is further provided a shaft part in a top frame of a tarpaulin structure for a utility vehicle or a container which spans a releasable opening of the top frame at least substantially transverse to a release direction and has two shaft ends, which is characterized by a carriage according to the invention, at least can be connected or connected to one of the two shaft ends and preferably to both shaft ends.

The corresponding shaft part is expediently designed as a roof opening of the top frame spanning bow, which is displaceable along the side members of the top frame. But it is also possible to form the shaft part as a side opening of the top frame spanning Verfahrrunge or sliding tongue having at its upper end a carriage which is displaceable along the longitudinal member of the top frame and which is also equipped with a slide on its underside, or in the usual way can be connected to a stanchion and is configured accordingly. It is understood that the design of the carriage in the case of a sliding tongue and in the case of a bow can be different, but not necessarily. In particular, it can be provided that the carriage has an identical plug-in part, but different guide parts, which are respectively adapted to the geometry of the corresponding guideways of the longitudinal member, in which case it is particularly important to take into account that the ratio of support rollers and guide rollers when changing the connection changed the side member 90 degrees accordingly. Finally, the shank part can also be designed as a loading platform of the convertible top frame spanning push bar, in which the shank part can also consist of several shank sections which have a total of a U-shape, this U-shape spans substantially the entire loading area of the commercial vehicle body. The two at the ends of the U-shaped handlebar are then connected to a corresponding guide track in the cargo bed and along this displaced, so that the loading platform is released after moving the push handle designed as shank parts.

Conveniently, the shank part is produced as a metal profile, for example as a square profile with a square or rectangular cross-section.

But at least the shaft ends of the shaft part have a rectangular cross-section, which is measured so that the plug portion of the plug-in part of the carriage can be inserted into the rectangular cross-section of the shaft ends and is held in any case against rotation. This is to avoid axial mobility or an axial clearance between the male part of the carriage and the shaft end of the shaft portion provided that the shaft end of the shaft portion by plastic deformation so on the downwardly open U-shaped cross-section of the plug portion of Plug-in part can be deformed, that the two parts are held immovably together. Alternatively or cumulatively, the shaft ends may be formed with openings which are aligned with openings of the male part, so that the two parts by means of riveting to each other can be fixed and even little axial play in the axial direction of the shaft part is given.

According to a preferred embodiment of the shaft part designed as a bow, it is provided that the guide part of the carriage is fixed at a distance from the shaft end of the shaft part, so that not the entire plug-in part is received in the shaft end of the shaft part, but only the plug-in end. In the area adjoining the plug-in area, it is then possible, for example, for the guide means for the folding means to be connected to the plug-in part. Are the attachments such. B. the guide means released from the male part, and the subsequent to the mating end of the male part can be temporarily inserted into the shaft end.

Preferably, a base plate of the guide part of the carriage forms an upper end of the carriage in its region spanning the longitudinal beam. In particular, when the base plate has a flat surface, the tarpaulin can be tightly connected to the carriage, without causing wear on protruding edges. Furthermore, this makes good use of the cargo space.

According to one aspect of the invention there is provided a modular system for a top frame of a tarpaulin structure for a vehicle such as a truck, a truck trailer or a container, comprising a plurality of side rails with different profiles and / or lengths, a plurality of shaft parts according to the invention, a plurality slide according to the invention, wherein different profiles of guide parts for a slide are adapted to the different profiles of the longitudinal member, and wherein different profiles of male parts are connected to the shaft ends of the shaft parts, and wherein the length of the shaft parts is adapted to the distance of opposite side members. With a manageable number of components that can be combined as needed, a variety of top frames or kits of top frames is created, which can be used in almost all known systems.

The modular system is also advantageously characterized by at least one of plug-in part and guide part connectable plurality of guide means for tarpaulin, so that the various known Planenfaltmittel such as plastic folding plates, joint arrangements with Hubspriegeln, Drahtfaltanordnungen can each be connected in the desired manner to the carriage. Accordingly, the modular system preferably also comprises a plurality of corresponding tarpaulin folding means. Preferably, the modular system further comprises usable as the projection attachable to the carriage parts that can be used as Aushebehilfe respectively adapted to the corresponding side members.

According to one aspect of the invention, it is further proposed a roof frame for a tarpaulin structure, comprising a plurality of along lateral side members displaceable shaft parts having at least one of its two ends a carriage, wherein in the region of the carriage folding means for the forced folding of a tarp are provided two adjacent each of the carriage each having a guide means for a folding means, wherein the carriage and / or the shaft part are formed according to the invention.

To forces from the side member 4 in one the loading platform 11 to initiate surrounding frame area, the sliding door has 2 at its lower end, a connection profile on, with one on a frame 3 the loading platform 11 arranged Stanchion is connectable, wherein the sliding tongue 2 when connecting to the stanchion is raised a little way, and thus from below against the side rail 4 gets into support.

Thus, the side member 4 over the corner stanchions 1 and the slides 2 against the loading platform 11 supported. On the side member 4 is also a lateral boundary wall of the top frame 10 Covering tarpaulin suspended from a top fabric, which in the cargo bed 11 can be lashed, which releases a loading opening when the lashing is loosened and - optionally together with the dissolved sliding tongue 2 - Along a corresponding guide in the side member 4 can be relocated.

The in the direction of travel or in the longitudinal direction of the top frame 10 between the two opposite to the Längshalbierenden Eckrungen 1 lying area is through a closed wall 12 limited, while in the rear between the two opposite Eckrungen 1 lying area 13 two each at the corner stanchions 1 hinged doors are provided which allow loading from the rear.

The roof area between the two opposite side rails 4 is closed by a sliding roof, which is a tarpaulin 5 Includes, attached to the two side members 4 bridging bows 8th is fixed, with the bow 8th each end a slide 6 have, with which this along a guideway of the side members 4 can be moved. Between adjacent hoops 8th or their sled 6 Planfenfalthilfen are provided when pushing together adjacent brackets 8th be placed in the manner of an inverted V and with the top of the inverted V the tarpaulin 5 straighten up and prevent them between the braces 8th falls. The plans 5 is about one on the rearmost bow 8th swing-away portal device 19 strained and by lifting the portal device 19 Released to a shift of the bow 8th from her in 1 to allow the position shown.

In 2 is a section through a side member 4 shown on which a sled 6 without connected thereto shank part of the bow 8th is shown. The side member 4 here has a horizontal leg 41 on which the sled 6 is supported, and one thereof thereof substantially at right angles downgoing outgoing vertical leg 42 on which the side tarp and the sliding tongue 2 can be stored. An upper carrying role of a slide of the sliding tongue 2 This is in a downwardly provided with a central slot chamber 42a taken during the attached to the upper end of the side tarp rollers, which side tarp is therefore often referred to as a curtain, in a corresponding guideway 42b can be relocated.

The horizontal thigh 41 has a chamber approximately in the middle 41a on, which has a U-shaped profile, wherein the pointing to the longitudinal bisector of the vehicle body leg of the U is open to the longitudinal bisector, C-shaped chamber 41b limited. In extension of the lower leg and lowered by one step is on the horizontal leg 41 a guide track defining the limb pointing to the longitudinal bisector 41c educated.

The construction of the carriage 6 can be made by referring to 5 and 6 explain very well. The sled 6 includes a guide part 61 from a folded, stamped sheet, which is essentially the width of the side member 4 spanned transversely to its extent. In this case, the guide part 6 one approximately the width of the longitudinal member 4 corresponding base plate 611 on, on the side facing away from the longitudinal bisector of the top frame 10 a boundary plate 612 projecting downwards at an angle of 90 degrees, with a central end portion of the base plate 611 turned off end of the boundary plate 612 as an eye 612a is formed while the two sides of the eye 612a provided sections at a right angle to form hooks 612b bent over, the one facing away from the longitudinal bisector bridge 41d of the horizontal leg 41 of the longitudinal member 4 under attack and thus form part of a lifting protection, but above all, make sure that the side member 4 from the corresponding guide part 61 of the sled 6 is covered largely pollution-proof. On the boundary plate 612 opposite side of the base plate 611 are two tab areas 613 opposite the base plate 611 bent 90 degrees so that they are parallel to the boundary plate 612 run, with the tab areas 613 form a corresponding boundary plate, such that the inwardly facing side of the base plate 611 forms the bottom of a U-shaped profile, and the boundary plate 612 and the connection plate 613 form the legs of the U-shaped profile. Between the two tabs 613 is an eye section 614 who is the base plate 611 extended and with this komplanar lies, trained, which over the longitudinal bisector of the top frame 10 facing front side of the tabs 613 protrudes. Both the tabs 613 as well as the eye section 614 are with a circular bore 613a respectively. 614a fitted.

The sled 6 further comprises a plug-in part 62 , which is folded as a sheet metal bent part of a steel sheet and having a turned over in cross-section large U-shaped cross section, with a baseplate 621 and two legs extending vertically therefrom 622 and 623 , The two thighs 622 . 623 have at their the leadership part 61 facing end folded down each about 90 degrees apart folding section 624 respectively. 625 on, in each case a hole 624a respectively. 625a is provided, which with the holes 613a in the connection plate 613 of the leadership part 61 aligned. The base plate 621 is through a komplanar with the base plate 621 running tongue 626 extended over the frontal area of the two eye sections 624 . 625 protrudes, and at its outer end a bore 626a having (with an in 5 not shown) bore 611a in the base plate 611 of the leadership part 61 flees. One at the height of the folding sections 624 . 625 provided hole 621a in the base plate 621 of the male part 62 Aligns with the hole 614a of the eye section 614 of the leadership part 61 , That of the tongue 626 turned away end of the male part 62 makes a plug-in 629 , which can be inserted into a correspondingly shaped receptacle in the shaft portion end of a shaft portion and fixed there to from the shaft portion with the carriage 6 to form a corresponding bow.

One recognizes in 5 that the tongue 626 under the side member 4 facing side of the base plate 611 of the leadership part 61 is pushed, and that the plug-in part 62 facing end face of the connecting plate 613 and the leadership part 61 facing end faces of the folding sections 624 . 625 get each other in contact. In this position, the holes are aligned 611a / 626a . 614a / 621a with a substantially vertical axis and the holes 613a / 625a such as 613a / 624a with a substantially horizontal and transverse to the longitudinal axis of the top frame 10 , ie parallel to the extension of the side members 4 extending axis. The guide part 61 is with the male part 62 by riveting in the intended pairs of eyes 611a / 626a . 613a / 624a and 613a / 625a connected to each other, wherein the connecting rivets at the same time attach the bearing of guide or support rollers to the geneenannten pairs of holes. Such is a leadership role 63a on the eye pair 611a / 626a attached by riveting, while each carrying a supporting role 63b . 63c at the rivets of the pairs of eyes 613a / 624a and 613a / 625a connected.

One recognizes in 5 Continue that with a plastic block 64 from the base plate 621 opposite side in the U-shaped profile of the male part 62 can be used, wherein the plastic block 64 an extension 641 which is intended to be between the two support rollers 63b . 63c and on the front side also in the of the guide part 61 overlapped part of the longitudinal member 4 intervene such that the extension 641 under the chamber 41b penetrates upwardly bounding horizontal leg. This ensures that the extension 641 as Aushebesperre for the sled 6 serves as lifting the carriage 6 the upper end face of the extension 641 against the lower edge of the upper leg of the chamber 41b pushes and thus a further lifting of the carriage 6 not possible.

The plastic block 64 has two holes 64a . 64b on that with the hole 621a / 614a and another (in 5 not shown) bore 621b in the base plate 621 of the male part 62 aligned. Two rivet counterparts 642 are doing in an elongated recess 643 of the plastic block 64 used, so with appropriate rivets 644 the plastic block 64 in the U-shaped profile of the male part 62 is held immovable. This type of arrangement of the plastic block 64 with the extension 641 at the plug-in part 62 has the particular advantage that in certain cases in which the carriage 6 from the side member 4 must be lifted, whether to perform a repair, either to allow access, for example, to extinguish a burning charge, it is possible the rivets 644 saw off or the heads of the rivets 644 milled, which makes the shafts of rivets 644 a little way into the recess 643 fall down and thus the lock against the perforations 621a . 621b in the base plate 621 release. This makes it possible to use the plastic block 64 in the channel, passing through the base plate 621 and the thighs 622 . 623 is formed, toward the guide part 61 turned away 629 to move, so that the extension 641 disengaged from the excavation preventing legs of the chamber 41b arrives. Furthermore, it is possible in case of damage or shearing of the extension 641 the plastic block 64 in the same way to replace without the entire slide 6 would have to be replaced.

In 5 is also designed as an extrusion of aluminum guide means 65 for tarpaulin folding 66 provided, wherein the guide means 65 a central opening 651 which is adjacent to the outer diameter of the mating end 629 of the male part 62 adapted to this on the direction of the plug 629 to be deferred, and near the eye sections 624 . 625 to be arranged. For this purpose, the guide means 65 in its middle area a vertical perforation through its top wall 652 and its underworld 653 on, each with holes 652a (in 5 not shown) and 653 are formed. This is the guide 65 with the hole 652a with that rivet 641 to the male part 62 connected, already with the plastic block 64 over the hole 621b was connected.

In one piece from the material of the guide means 65 are claw-like, outward facing openings 654 formed, with on both sides of the leg 622 . 623 each one of them showing a pair of two claws 654 is provided. The claws 654 have a claw opening 654a access to a central, aligned with adjacent claws cylinder receptacle 654b allows, with end to the folding means 66 attached substantially cylindrical pin 661 axially in the direction of the axis of the cylinder receptacle 654b can be introduced. The claw openings 654a allow the passage of the pins 661 tethered surface areas of the folds formed from plastic folding means 66 , The folding plates 66 each have the end of the pins 661 on, and in the middle a folding section 662 which, on the one hand, has a widening over the side members 4 is enough, and on the other is intended to be bent plateau-like upwards when the pins 661 in the cylinder shots 654b turn to the tarpaulin 5 to raise.

In the illustration according to 3 one recognizes, like the cones 661 in the cylinder shots 654b the guide 65 are included. Latches on the pin 661 lock the pin 661 against unintentional slipping out of the claws 654 , Due to the design of the guide means 65 as a sturdy metal part, in this case made of aluminum, there is the risk that the claw area of the carriage 6 damaged, significantly reduced. In addition, such a component can be used as a guide, which on the male part 62 like the guide 65 slidably formed, but has other connection means for the folding means for the tarpaulin, for example, bores for receiving wire hangers, which together form the folding means, or any other system. Thus, the respectively adapted to the desired folding means guide means to the male part 62 be connected. It is also possible on the guide 65 completely waive, namely, when the folding means, for example, on the top of the base plate 611 of the leadership part 61 be connected, or folding means are not needed, as may be the case with sliding in the sidewall area.

In the presentation according to 3 is already a shank part 81 on the plug 629 of the male part 62 deferred, with the shaft part 81 in 3 only shown shortened. The shaft part 81 is formed as a rectangular profile of a steel sheet and extends substantially across the width between the opposite side rails 4 for the formation of the bow 8th by connecting one carriage each 6 at its two end sections 811 , The shaft part 81 points in its end section 811 a running in the direction of travel of the commercial vehicle body bore 812 on, with a corresponding hole 622a . 623a in the thighs 622 . 623 of the male part 62 can be brought into alignment. It is possible the bore 812 / 623a / 622a with a pin or rivet to pass through to the male part 62 or the plug-in end 629 of the male part 62 with the end section 811 of the shaft part 81 to lock; but in the present case, the material of the end portion 811 of the shaft part 81 in the base plate 621 imprinted opposite region, so that there is a positive connection between the shaft part 81 and the male part 62 in the area of the plug-in end 629 comes that excludes a game or movement between these two parts.

One recognizes in 3 furthermore, that the folding plates 66 are manufactured as plastic parts whose underside is stiffened accordingly. It can also be seen that the cylinder receiving 654b or its axis formed pivot point for the pin 661 is comparatively low, so that the folding plates are always angled slightly upwards and when pushing together the bow 8th easily turn upwards.

In 4 is shown that also other guide parts than the guide part 61 to the male part 62 can be recognized. Exemplary are in 4 two alternative guide parts 61 ' and 61 '' which are briefly described below, wherein the reference numerals "or" added to the same or similar elements as those of the guide part 61 describe.

It is understood that even more guide parts, which may also have other dimensions than the exemplary illustrated further guide parts 61 ' . 61 '' , are possible, which are respectively adapted to the given geometries of the corresponding side members and in particular bearings for idlers and optionally guide rollers, which are adapted to the corresponding chambers or guideways of the corresponding side member.

In contrast to the leadership part 61 has the guide part 61 ' two openings 615 ' on, in which a folding means can be inserted. The guide part 61 '' has four more holes 616 '' on, over the folding sections of folding means to the top of the base plate 611 '' riveting can be about a corresponding joint erecting the tarpaulin 5 enable. Here is a separate guide 65 not mandatory.

It is understood that it is also possible to form a guide member such that support rollers and guide rollers are connected at other locations, in which case the connection to the male part 62 without a corresponding storage of a role.

7 to 9 show a further embodiment in which the same or functionally comparable part as in the previous embodiment, the same reference numerals have been assigned.

The sled 6 includes a guide part 61 from a folded, stamped sheet, which is essentially the width of the side member 4 spanned across its extension, and further as a plug-in part 62 trained connection part. In this case, the guide part 6 one approximately the width of the longitudinal member 4 corresponding base plate 611 on, on the side facing away from the longitudinal bisector of the top frame 10 a boundary plate 612 projecting downwards at an angle of 90 degrees, with a central end portion of the base plate 611 turned off end of the boundary plate 612 as an eye 612a is formed while the two sides of the eye 612a provided sections at a right angle to form hooks 612b bent over, the one facing away from the longitudinal bisector bridge 41d of the horizontal leg 41 of the longitudinal member 4 under attack and thus form part of a lifting protection, but above all, make sure that the side member 4 from the corresponding guide part 61 of the sled 6 is covered largely pollution-proof. On the boundary plate 612 opposite side of the base plate 611 are two tab areas 613 opposite the base plate 611 bent 90 degrees so that they are parallel to the boundary plate 612 run, with the tab areas 613 form a corresponding boundary plate, such that the inwardly facing side of the base plate 611 forms the bottom of a U-shaped profile, and the boundary plate 612 and the connection plate 613 form the legs of the U-shaped profile. Between the two tabs 613 is an eye section 614 who is the base plate 611 extended and with this komplanar lies, educated, to which over a step 614b as a strip of the material of the guide part 61 formed tongue section 614c connects, which on the to the longitudinal bisector of the top frame 10 facing front side of the tabs 613 protrudes. At its end, the tongue section 614c a refolding 614d on that with the tongue section 614c approximately at a right angle. Both the tabs 613 as well as the eye section 614 or the tongue section 614c are with a circular bore 613a respectively. 614a fitted.

At the holes 613a the tabs 613 is each a carrier role 63b . 63c connected by riveting a corresponding bearing, in the present case the carrying roles 63b . 63c only on the guide part 61 are attached. This makes it possible for the carrying rollers 63b . 63c to install before the assembly of guide part and plug-in part. The base plate 611 points in one of the chambers 41a corresponding section three holes 611a on; at the middle holes 611a is a leader 63a connected by riveting a corresponding bearing, in this case the leading role 63c only on the guide part 61 is attached. It is alternatively possible to use two guide rollers 63c to the two outer holes 611a to join. The holes are in total in a downwardly embossed bead 611x the base plate 611 arranged, this particularly stressed part of the guide part 61 gives extra stability especially against bending.

The plug-in part 62 is formed as a molding made of plastic and has a central region with approximately rectangular, approximately square cross-section, with an upper side 621 and two outer surfaces extending perpendicularly therefrom 622 . 623 , The central region has perforations and ribbing to increase its rigidity, such as in particular 8th clearly visible. The top 621 turned downside 62u has an inwardly curved gutter profile. The top 621 has a recess 621x on the side of in the area of the surfaces 622 . 623 upwardly protruding sections 622x . 623x is limited such that the tongue portion 614c can be positioned in it. A corresponding recess may be used for the refolding 614d be provided. In the central area of the plug element 62 is a bore equipped with a sleeve injected into the plastic material 621b intended; another equipped with a injected into the plastic material sleeve bore 621a is formed in a side facing away from the longitudinal bisector of the top frame. The hole 614a in the eye section 614 of the leadership part 61 Aligns with the hole 621a of the male part 62 , the hole 614a in the tongue section 614c of the leadership part 61 Aligns with the hole 621b of the male part 62 , rivet 644 enforce the holes 614a / 621a respectively. 614a / 621b and connect so plug-in part 62 and leadership part 61 to a sled 6 , The boundary plate 612 turned away end of the male part 62 - together with a part of the tongue section 614c and the refolding 614d - forms a plug-in end 629 , which in a correspondingly shaped receptacle in the shaft portion end of a shaft portion 81 can be used and fixed there to get out of the shank part 81 with the sledge 6 a corresponding bow 8th to build. For this purpose, the central portion of the male part 62 one the surfaces 622 . 623 normally penetrating bore 622a on, which can also be equipped with a sleeve; the connection of the male part 62 to the shaft part 81 then also done by riveting.

One recognizes in 7 - 9 further, that at the of the longitudinal bisector of the top frame fort facing side of the central portion integral with the male part 62 an extension 641 is formed, which is intended to be between the two support rollers 63b . 63c and on the front side also in the of the guide part 61 overlapped part of the longitudinal member 4 intervene such that the extension 641 under the chamber 41b penetrates upwardly bounding horizontal leg. This ensures that the extension 641 as Aushebesperre for the sled 6 serves as lifting the carriage 6 the upper end face of the extension 641 against the lower edge of the upper leg of the chamber 41b pushes and thus a further lifting of the carriage 6 not possible.

Furthermore, are integral with the male part made of plastic molded part 62 guide means 65 for tarpaulin folding 66 intended. Integral from the plastic material of the Föhrungsmittels 65 are claw-like, outward-facing openings 654 formed, with on both sides of the leg 622 . 623 each one of them showing a pair of two claws 654 is provided. The claws 654 have a claw opening 654a access to a central, aligned with adjacent claws cylinder receptacle 654b allows, with end to the folding means 66 (see. 5 ) mounted substantially cylindrical pin 661 axially in the direction of the axis of the cylinder receptacle 654b can be introduced. The claw openings 654a allow the passage of the pins 661 tethered surface areas of the folds formed from plastic folding means 66 , The folding plates 66 each have the end of the pins 661 on, and in the middle a folding section 662 which, on the one hand, has a widening over the side members 4 is enough, and on the other is intended to be bent plateau-like upwards when the pins 661 in the cylinder shots 654b turn to the tarpaulin 5 to raise. Due to the design of the Föhrungsmittel 65 or the claws 654 made of plastic is a lubrication-free storage of the pins 661 possible. It is understood that in an alternative connection of folding aids -. B. on the Föhrungsteil 61 ' or 61 '' as in 4 shown - a plug-in part without Föhrungsmittel 65 can be made. However, such a leadership part 61 ' . 61 '' also to a plug-in part 62 with guide 65 be connected, as the guide means 65 do not bother in that far.

In an area between the extension 641 and the guide means 65 is in the central area of the male part 62 in the area of the lateral surfaces 622 . 623 a groove 622y . 623y provided with rectangular U-profile covering the surfaces 622 . 623 interspersed from one end to the other end or alternatively at least partially enforced. The reason of the groove 622y . 623y is about with the surfaces 622 . 623 in the area of the plug-in end 629 aligned, while the lateral walls of the groove 622y . 623y on the one hand by a section 65x the guide 65 and on the other hand by a projection 64x are limited. The grooves 622y . 623y are on the thickness of at least marginal areas 613x the connection plates 613 of the leadership part 61 coordinated, and the border areas 613x the connection plates 613 can from the direction of the top 621 in these grooves 622y . 623y be inserted. By inserting the edge areas 613x into the grooves 622y . 623y is a positive fixing of guide part 61 and plug-in part 62 in the direction of the axis of the shaft part 81 and in the direction of the longitudinal axis of the guide part 61 to overarching longitudinal member 4 created. The depression 621x and the tongue section 614c also come into investment, and it only needs a riveting, the one - in the presentation according to 9 vertical - axial separation permanently prevented. It is understood that when using the carriage in a sliding tongue, the separating direction is horizontal. It can be seen that in the embodiment shown by appropriate design of the mold-closing means riveting in one of the riveting 644 vertical plane is avoided.

The further embodiment according to 10 - 12 largely corresponds to the embodiment according to 7 - 9 so that the same reference numerals denote the same parts and will not be described again. Unlike the version according to 7 - 9 is at the holes 611a no guide roller connected, but by riveting on the two outer holes 611a an elongated guide member 63aa made of a plastic material that holds the carriage in the chamber 41a leads. The guide member 63aa is shorter than the depth of the chamber 41a formed, so that essentially its two the lateral walls of the chamber 41a facing surfaces in contact with the lateral walls of the chamber 41a come and thus limit a maximum game.

The invention has been explained above with reference to an embodiment and some variants shown in part in the figures. It is understood that a combination of individual elements of the solution shown can also have the described and recognizable advantages.

The invention has been explained above with reference to embodiments in which the terminal end is designed for connection to the shaft part as a plug-in end. It is understood that the connection end or plug-in part can also be connected in a different manner to the shaft part than by plugging.

From the foregoing, it follows that a guide member may also be formed so that the same part can be connected both by riveting to a male part made of sheet metal and by insertion into a groove of a male part made of sheet metal and / or plastic material. For this purpose, the tongue or the eye section 614 to be dimensioned accordingly. In particular, the male part 62 according to 5 and 6 be designed as a molded plastic part.
