Description

The invention relates to a protective element for an elongate lifting or tensioning means for lifting or striking a cargo, wherein the protective element is a protective layer which is intended to abut in use with its outside facing away from the carrier part on a surface or edge of the cargo, and at least one Fastening means for securing the protective element comprises on the respective lifting or clamping means, wherein the fastening means determines a longitudinal alignment of the protective element.

For example, the terms "lifting or tensioning means" include straps, straps, ropes or slings used to lift, transport or secure goods, components and the like.

Protective elements of the type in question are used to protect the respective elongated lifting or clamping device against cutting stress, as may arise, for example, when the lifting or clamping means acts in use under load against a sharp edge.

One embodiment of a protective element which fulfills this task is a tubular section woven from textile material, through the hose opening of which the respective lifting or tensioning means is loosely guided. In this way, the tubular protective element can be moved in use in the longitudinal direction of the lifting or clamping means to the respective edge, from which the risk of cutting stress could arise. When already arranged in contact with the respective protective position protective element can simultaneously the lifting or clamping means are moved during the tightening or lifting relative to the then firmly positioned on the respective hazardous edge protective element without being damaged by the respective sharp edge. An example of a protection element that performs these functions is in the Brochure "02 Lifting Technology NOCUT", HT-NoCut-06.13 (PCv3), © 2013 SpanSet GmbH & Co. KG, Germany , documented.

A protective element offered as edge protection under the name "UPCP edge protection" by Technotex Industrial Supply, The Netherlands, has a rectangular, elongated protective layer, which consists of a tube whose side walls lie flat on one another. In this way, the protective layer is double-walled and provides a correspondingly high cut protection. As fastening means, two pairs of strips are sewn to the protective element in its longitudinal direction, spaced from one another. With their free ends, the mutually associated strips can be connected to loops through which in each case to be protected lifting or clamping means is guided loose. As a result of their spaced arrangement in the longitudinal direction of the protective element arrangement, the strips joined together to form a fastening device which fixes the longitudinal alignment with which the protective element is attached to the associated lifting or tensioning means. The advantage of a protective element provided with such a fastening device which can be repeatedly opened and closed subsequently is that it can be fastened without problems, for example, to a closed loop without the necessity of opening the loop. Likewise, such a protective element can be attached to a long lifting or tensioning means, without the respective lifting or tensioning means must be completely absorbed in order to postpone the protective element from one end thereof.

Just like the hose pushed onto the respective lifting or tensioning means, the respective protective layer also has a considerable thickness or wall thickness in the above-described protective element enabling subsequent attachment to the lifting or tensioning means, so that the protective element not only provides protection for the protective element Lifting or clamping means against cutting or rubbing contact provides, but also forms an elastic cushion between the lifting or clamping means and the respective edge or surface over which the equipped with the protective element lifting or clamping means is guided.

Protective elements of the type described above have proven themselves many times in practical use. However, in some applications in which the lifting or tensioning means must be guided in very tight bending radii along an edge protected by such a protective element, the problem arises that the protective element due to the tight bending radius on its inside facing the edge comparatively high compressive stresses and is exposed to high tensile stresses on its outer side facing away from the edge. Along with this, the protective function of the lifting or clamping means intended by the protective element is impaired against damage due to cuts or abrasion. This applies in particular if a high-cut-resistant material is used for the protective layer, which generally has a comparatively high inherent rigidity and therefore can not be easily guided around tight bending radii.

Against the background of the prior art described above, the object of the invention was to provide a protective element which, in particular in the region of edges, over which the respective lifting or clamping means in use in a narrow radius, provides improved cut and abrasion protection.

Likewise, a combination of lifting or clamping means and a protective element should be given, in which a comparison with the known combinations of this type further increased abrasion and cut protection is given.

With respect to the protective element, the invention has achieved this object by a protective element having the features specified in claim 1.

With regard to the combination of a lifting or tensioning element and a protective element, the solution according to the invention of the abovementioned object consists in that in such a combination the protective element is designed in accordance with the invention.

Advantageous embodiments of the invention are specified in the dependent claims and are explained below as the general inventive concept in detail.

A protective element according to the invention for an elongate lifting or tensioning means for lifting or striking a goods to be transported comprises, as the aforementioned prior art, a protective layer intended, in use, to lie against a surface or edge of the transported goods with its outer side facing away from the carrier part , and at least one fastening device for fastening the protective element to the respective lifting or tensioning means, wherein the fastening device determines a longitudinal alignment of the protective element.

According to the invention, in addition to the standard protective layer, at least one further protective layer is provided which, in use, i. H. at the latest under the respective load taken up by the lifting or tensioning means, on the other protective layer of the protective element.

The protective layers according to the invention are coupled together so that they can move in the direction of the longitudinal orientation of the protective element relative to each other.

By virtue of the relative mobility of the protective layers provided according to the invention, the protective layers, if the protective element is placed around an edge with a narrow bending radius, can deform independently of the respective other protective layer. Since the directly adjacent to the edge, inner protective layer is thereby curved with a smaller radius than those respectively on her, d. H. outer protective layer, the protective layers are shifted depending on the thickness of the protective layers more or less strongly in the direction of the longitudinal direction of the protective element. Excessive stresses that can occur with protective elements on the inner and outer layers are thus avoided. As a result, the inventive design of a protective element thus ensures that the protective element rests tightly against both the respective edge and on the lifting or tensioning means to be protected and thus provides optimized protection against cutting or abrasive damage. In this case, independent of the protective layers fastening device ensures that the respective lifting or clamping means can move even under load still relative to the protective layers.

A particular advantage of the invention is that in a protective element according to the invention the protective layers may consist of different materials. For example, the one protective layer can consist of a high-strength foil, strand, braid or fabric-like material which offers maximum cut protection but has only a low tendency to cushion and possibly also protects against abrasion to a lesser extent. The other protective layer, however, may consist of a material that has sufficient cushioning properties and at the same time provides a high level of protection against abrasion, but only insufficiently protects against cutting damage. By combining both protective layers, it is possible to achieve a protection that meets all requirements, without having to accept sacrifices in terms of suitability for adapting to the shape of the edge, from which a risk of cutting could arise, or with regard to handling.

In order to meet the diverse requirements that are placed on the protective layers of a protective element according to the invention, it has proven to be advantageous if at least one of the protective layers consists of a textile material. This may be, for example, a woven or braided fabric which has high strength and wear resistance by a suitable choice of the manner of its manufacture and the fibers used therefor. In this case, the textile material of a layer thin, but high-strength and, for example, by weaving or braiding high-strength fibers or wires, provide maximum cut protection, while the textile material of the other layer is designed to be thick comparable to optimal padding with optimized sliding properties Offer. It is also conceivable that the one protective layer made of a highly abrasion-resistant plastic material, such as a polyurethane elastomers or the like, while the other protective layer by a high-performance fiber or metal wire mesh, a bundle of corresponding wires or fibers or by a wire or fiber rope or band is formed.

The invention according to a movement relative to each other allowing coupling of the protective layers can be done in different ways. A first possibility is to couple together the protective layers of the protective element according to the invention in a connecting section, which is aligned transversely to the longitudinal direction of the protective element and extends in the direction of longitudinal alignment over a length which is shorter than the length also measured in the direction of longitudinal alignment , over which the protective layers lie loosely on each other. Optimally, the connecting portion, insofar as it is provided as narrow as possible, in particular linearly formed to allow over the longest possible distance unimpeded relative mobility of the rest, loosely superimposed protective layers.

Another possibility of a relative mobility of the protective layers permitting coupling is that the protective layers in the direction of the longitudinal alignment of the protective element are loosely displaceable and forms a protective layer a guide for a directed in the direction of the longitudinal direction of the protective element relative movement of the other protective layer. "Loosely displaceable" here means that one protective layer can be displaced freely and unhindered along the other protective layer, at least over a certain length, until the respective end of the relevant protective layer has been reached. The particular advantage of this embodiment is that one of the protective layers can be firmly connected to the fastening device, while the guided on the relevant protective layer other protective layer is independent of the fastening device. In this way, the protective layer guided displaceably guided on the protective layer connected to the fastening device can easily deform in use until it has found an optimum shape and position for the protection of the lifting and clamping means in relation to the other protective layer and the respective lifting or tensioning means ,

In order to effectively form a guide for the respective relative to her sliding protective layer, the protective layer firmly connected to the fastening device may be formed in the manner of a web, along which the other protective layer is displaceable. At such a trained as an elongated web protective layer, the relatively sliding protective layer is then performed in the manner of a linear guide.

The coupling of the sliding layer movably guided on the respective other protective layer can take place, for example, by virtue of the fact that the displaceable protective layer comprises at least one guide section, via which it is held displaceably on the other protective layer. The guide portion may be a simple textile or plastic strip integral with the protective layer slidable along the other protective layer serving as a guide and defining a slot through which the other protective layer serving as a guide is loosely pushed ,

An alternative embodiment of the variant of the invention in which the protective layers in the direction of the longitudinal alignment of the protective element are loosely displaceable, is characterized in that a protective layer is formed in the manner of a hose through the hose opening serving as a guide other protective layer is loosely inserted. This way of longitudinally displaceable guide of a protective layer on the other protective layer provides a particularly high level of protection against damage to the respective lifting or clamping means, as effectively at least three layers are present over which the lifting or clamping means is supported in use against the edge from which the danger of cutting runs out. Thus, as seen from the edge, at the edge of their respective associated hose wall, on which serving as a guide protective layer and thereon another wall of the protective layer formed as a tube, on which in turn is the respectively to be protected lifting or clamping means. The tubular protective layer thus encloses the protective layer serving as a guide and shields it both from the respective edge and from the respective lifting or tensioning means. This makes it possible to select the material of the serving as a guide protective layer so that it provides, for example, a maximum cut protection, regardless of whether the material used for this may even damage the lifting or clamping device or the hazardous edge of the respective cargo or Could lead component. It is thus possible, for example, to use a textile material consisting of high-strength fibers for the protective layer serving as guide, which indeed offers maximum cut protection but has a rough, coarse surface structure with possibly insufficient sliding properties. By the second protective layer enveloping this material is made of a material that repeals in use disadvantageous property by itself has optimal cushioning and sliding properties, a protective element results, which meets in all respects the requirements in practice meet.

Basically, any fastening device is suitable for securing the protection element according to the invention to the respectively associated lifting or clamping means, which ensures a durable durable connection. So it is conceivable, for example, as a fastening device to provide a cuff or the like, for securing the protective element to the respective lifting or Clamping is laid. A particularly easy-to-handle embodiment of the invention results when the fastening device is formed by at least one loop which encloses an opening through which the respective associated lifting or clamping means is loosely guided during use. Such a loop-like design of the fastening means enables a secure and at the same time robust coupling of the protective element to the lifting or tensioning means, by which a relative displacement of the protective element along the lifting or clamping means is easily possible. In this case, the fact that the loop extends over a sufficient length of the protective element, the required longitudinal alignment of the protective element can be determined, in which the protective element can be moved in use along the associated lifting or clamping element.

Alternatively, the loop-shaped fastening device may be formed by a narrow, laid to the respective loop strip. This has the advantage, in particular if the protective element as a whole has a certain flexibility, that the protective element can be twisted or otherwise deformed with the minimization of interference by the fastening device with respect to its longitudinal orientation, if the need arises due to the respective fastening situation results.

A particularly versatile usability of the protective element according to the invention results in this case if the loop is formed by a strip whose end portions are releasably connected to each other. In this way, the protective element can be used without much effort on different lifting or clamping devices. In this case, the detachable connection of the end portions of the loop-forming strip can be made, for example by means of a conventional hook and loop fastener, buckle or snap closure.

A particularly functionally reliable and at the same time serviceable embodiment of the invention is characterized in that each end region of the web of the carrying part is assigned in each case a loop-like fastening device. In this way, the longitudinal alignment of the protective element is always determined in the correct position with respect to the longitudinal orientation of the respectively associated lifting or clamping means.

On the protective element according to the invention can be arranged for identification and tracking suitable identification means. These can be conventional labels printed with the required technical information in plain text or in machine-readable form, or data-readable information carriers such as transponders or the like.

The material from which at least the protective layer coming into contact directly with the respective edge from which the risk of cutting originates can be chosen such that a certain state of wear that occurs as a result of abrasive wear or cutting damage is revealed by exposing a specific color or structure is shown. For this purpose, the protective layers may consist of a material constructed with at least two layers whose layers have different colors or structures.

It proves to be particularly favorable here if at least the respective outer protective layer, which comes into contact with the hazardous edge, of a protective element according to the invention consists of a textile material. In particular, this tissue or braids come into question. Such textiles can be equipped to withstand heavy cutting loads. Both a fabric and a braid can be designed so that even under curvature with a small radius only low voltages in the protective element arise. In the case of fabrics, this can be achieved by aligning its weft threads in each case transversely to the longitudinal direction of the protective element. With a curvature around a small radius, the weft threads then warp arcuately starting from the contact edge, so that wrinkling is avoided. This is especially true when the protective layer is formed tubular and made of a corresponding tissue. Braids are per se suitable to be curved in tight radii without major wrinkling.

The invention will be explained in more detail by means of exemplary embodiments. Show it:

1 a protective element in a perspective view;

2 a combination of the in 1 shown protective element and a lifting means in use in a side view;

3 another protective element in perspective view;

4 a combination of the in 3 shown protective element and a lifting means in use in a side view.

This in 1 illustrated protective element 1 includes two protective layers 2 . 3 ,

The protective layer 2 is formed in the manner of an elongated, flat web, at its end portions 4 . 5 one transverse to the protective layer 2 aligned loop is present. The loops each form a fastening device 6 . 7 , with the support part 2 can be attached to a lifting means H.

The fastening devices 6 . 7 each define a passage opening 8th . 9 , They are each formed from a strip which is approximately in the region of half its longitudinal extension with the associated end of the protective layer 2 connected is. The free ends of the fasteners 6 . 7 forming strips are each by a snap closure 10 . 11 connected with each other. The snap closures 10 . 11 consist in a conventional manner from one of the one end of the respective strip associated latching element 12 and recording part 13 , the one to the locking element 12 has correspondingly shaped latching stop and in which the latching element 12 is inserted until it locks on the latching stop. By applying a targeted pressure in the receiving part 13 formed locking connection to be released again to the fasteners 6 . 7 to open.

The protective element 2 and the loops are each made of a high strength textile belt material incorporating, for example, high performance fibers such as aramid fibers or the like, for maximum cut protection.

The connection between the protective layer 2 and the fastening devices 6 . 7 can be solid or loose. A firm connection can be made by gluing or sewing the protective layer 2 with the fastening devices 6 . 7 getting produced. For a loose connection can be at the ends of the protective layer 2 that the fastening devices 6 . 7 are assigned, through holes are formed through which the loop-type fastening devices 6 . 7 are guided loose. To the tube-shaped second protective layer 3 In a simple way to exchange, it may be appropriate to the connection between the one fastening device 6 and the protective layer 2 for example, by sewing tight and undetachable form, while the connection between the other fastening device 7 and the protective layer 2 is solvable. In this way, the fastening device 7 from the protective layer 2 separated and the second protective layer 3 from the web-shaped protective layer 2 subtracted from.

By the distance from each other and made parallel to each other attachment of the fasteners 6 . 7 at the first protective layer 2 is the longitudinal direction L of the protective element 1 established. This extends in use parallel to the longitudinal orientation of the lifting means H, so that the protective element 1 in the fastening devices 6 . 7 guided along the holding means H can be moved.

The protective layer 3 consists of a thick-walled woven from heavy duty textile fibers hose section whose outer sides have optimal sliding properties with high resistance to abrasive wear. The protective layer 3 is accordingly largely flexible and can be bent both in the direction of the longitudinal orientation L and in a direction transverse thereto.

The web-shaped protective layer 2 is loose through the hose opening 14 the tubular protective layer 3 guided. The protective layer 3 is to a certain extent shorter than the free length of the protective layer 2 between the fastening devices 6 . 7 remains. In this way, the tubular protective layer 3 along the web-like protective layer acting like a linear guide 2 by a certain amount in the direction of the longitudinal orientation L with respect to the web-shaped protective layer 2 be moved relatively. Here, a minimal difference between the length of the first protective layer is sufficient 2 and the relative to her relatively movable second protective layer 3 out. Decisive is the loose coupling of the first protective layer 2 with the second protective layer 3 ,

For use ( 2 ) become the fasteners 6 . 7 opened, placed around the respective lifting means H and closed again, leaving the protective element 1 slidably and along the lifting means H slidably guided on the lifting means H. The lifting means H is, for example, a lifting belt for lifting a transport good T or a comparatively bulky goods.

Due to the loose, movable arrangement, the protective element can be 1 readily move along the lifting means H to that sharp edge K of the cargo T, from which a risk of cutting for the lifting means H goes out. Because no direct firm connection between the protective layer 3 of the protective element 1 and the lifting means H, the protective part can 3 thereby easily adapt to the shape of the edge K, without being hindered by the lifting means H or the movement of the lifting means H in the fastening devices 6 . 7 to hinder.

This in 3 illustrated protective element 21 has two equally large plate-shaped and in plan view rectangular protective layers 22 . 23 that lie congruently on top of each other and in one on their narrow side 24 adjacent border area by a along the respective narrow side 24 extending seam 25 are firmly connected to each other. Over the remainder of their length LS and width BS lie the protective layers 22 . 23 loose on each other. The border area over which the protective layers 22 . 23 firmly connected to each other takes at most one tenth of the length LS of the protective layers 22 . 23 one.

At the free, from the lower protective layer 23 opposite top 26 the upper protective layer 22 are two fastening devices 27 . 28 spaced apart from each other. As with the protective element 1 are also the fastening devices 27 . 28 each formed by a strip. The fastening devices 27 . 28 forming strips are with their middle section each with the upper protective layer 22 sutured. At their free ends, for example, not shown here Velcro fasteners are provided, with which the mutually associated ends can be firmly and detachably connected to each other. In such interconnected ends define the fasteners 27 . 28 in each case one passage opening 29 . 30 parallel to the narrow sides 24 . 31 the protective layers 22 . 23 is aligned.

Because of their distance thus also define the fasteners 27 . 28 the longitudinal orientation L of the protective element 21 in which the protective element 21 to move in use along the respective associated lifting means H. The lifting means H is to it, as with the protective element 1 through which of the fasteners 27 . 28 bounded passage openings 29 . 30 guided.

The two protective layers 22 . 23 may for example consist of a soft felt material, when the center of gravity of the protection of the lifting means H is placed on a soft padding. In the same way, however, the protective layer directly assigned to the lifting means H during use 23 consist of a cut-resistant textile material, while the edge K facing protective layer 22 made of an elastic cushioning material.

For use ( 4 ) are like the protective element 1 the fastening devices 27 . 28 opened, placed around the respective lifting means H and closed again, so that also the protective element 21 slidably and along the lifting means H slidably guided on the lifting means H.

Due to the loose, movable arrangement, the protective element can be 21 also readily move along the lifting means H to that sharp edge K of the cargo T, from which a risk of cutting for the lifting means H goes out. As soon as the lifting means H tightens when lifting the transport goods T, the protective layers 22 . 23 pressed by the lifting means H against the edge K, at which the lifting means H is deflected.

The curvature of this deflection are also the protective layers 22 . 23 curved in a direction transverse to its longitudinal direction L direction. Due to the inherent thickness of the protective layer 22 is the radius of curvature of lying directly on the edge K protective layer 22 smaller than the radius of curvature of the protective layer 22 overlying protective layer 23 , Because the protective layers 22 . 23 on the narrow side 24 are firmly connected to each other, but otherwise lie loosely on each other, move in consequence in the course of increasing deformation of the protective layers 22 . 23 the protective layer 22 . 23 in the direction of the longitudinal orientation L relative to each other until the edge K associated protective layer 22 with its the narrow side 24 opposite narrow side 31 over the protective layer lying on it 23 also available. Wrinkles or an upsetting of the protective layers 22 . 23 are so safely avoided. Accordingly, the protective layers are smooth 22 . 23 even then each other when the protective element 21 in even closer radius than in 4 would be shown led around the edge K.
