Description

The invention relates to an auxiliary device for handling lashing straps, in particular when securing goods to be transported on the loading area of a transport vehicle, for example a truck

Usually, the goods to be transported are spanned with the lashing strap on the top side by hanging the belt on a lashing point on one side edge of the loading area, passing it over the goods to be transported, hanging it on the opposite side edge of the loading area at another lashing point and tensioning it there with a ratchet until the transported goods are fixed. Lashing points are defined by fastening devices that are to be used according to VDI guideline 2700 for attaching the lashing straps.

To prepare for the spanning, it is first necessary to throw the lashing strap over from a first side of the loading area to the opposite side. In different procedures, the lashing strap can either be thrown directly over the transported goods or, especially in the case of closed truck bodies, first thrown over the truck tarpaulin.

Manually throwing the belt over is particularly problematic when great heights and widths have to be overcome. This handling is made even more difficult in windy or stormy weather. In addition, even with a normal-sized truck, the belts have to be thrown over eight to ten times, which is not only physically demanding but also time-consuming.

The utility model DE 000020109024 U1 discloses a stand-by system for lashings, in particular for truck bodies, with at least one lashing strap for securing the load. In this case, the lashing strap is pulled back into a ready position that frees up the loading space while the load is being loaded and is operated from a single point to tie down the load.

The technical solution proposed here is not suitable for facilitating the working conditions with regard to throwing the belt over a truck body or directly over the transported goods.

Proceeding from this, the object of the invention is to provide an auxiliary device which, compared to the prior art, significantly improves the working conditions with regard to putting on the belt.

According to the invention, an auxiliary device for handling a lashing strap when spanning a transport item is provided, which is equipped with a container—in the sense of a receptacle or holder—for a first end of the lashing strap wound spirally into a cylindrical roll. This container is attached to one end of a support rod, at the other end of which a handle is formed.

The container is preferably designed in the shape of a half-shell and essentially has two side walls which delimit the end faces of an inserted belt roll, as well as a bearing surface for the belt roll and a rear wall against which the belt roll rests.

Using the holding rod, the auxiliary device is manually brought into a working position laterally above the transported goods, in which the belt roll rests on the support in the direction of gravity and rests against the rear wall in a direction perpendicular to gravity. The container is open in the respective opposite directions, so that the belt roll can be easily inserted into the container through these openings and can also be ejected freely and unhindered.

In this working position, the direction perpendicular to gravity, in which the belt roll is supported by the rear wall, corresponds to a pivoting direction in which, according to the invention, a suddenly accelerated pivoting movement of the container by means of the holding rod and an abrupt stopping of the pivoting movement are provided. The stopping is preferably effected by hitting the holding rod against the item to be transported, so that the kinetic energy of the pivoting movement is transmitted in pulses to the belt reel and the latter is thrown out of the container.

The winding up of the first end of the belt is preferably provided in an anti-clockwise direction, which promotes the unwinding and throwing over of the end of the belt as a result of the impulse.

During such handling, the second unrolled end of the lashing strap may be attached to a lashing point on the same side of the truck bed where the auxiliary device is used.

In further advantageous configurations of the invention, the length of the support rod and the distance between the side walls are designed to be variable.

The concept of the invention also expressly includes other cases of handling belts using the methods described here Auxiliary device and other configurations that can be derived without inventive step.

• 1 zeigt ein Beispiel für die Ausführung der Erfindung. Dargestellt ist eine Ladefläche 1, beispielsweise eines LKW, mit einem darauf abgestellten Transportgut 2, etwa einem Container.
  • Ersichtlich ist weiterhin eine prinzipielle Darstellung der erfindungsgemäßen Hilfsvorrichtung 3, die im Wesentlichen ein Behältnis 3.1 und eine Haltestange 3.2 umfasst. Das Behältnis 3.1 ist ausgebildet zur Aufnahme eines spiralförmig zu einer zylindrischen Rolle aufgerollten ersten Gurtendes 4.1 eines Zurrgurtes 4. Das zweite, wie erkennbar freie Gurtende 4.2 ist in einen sinnbildlich dargestellten Zurrpunkt 5 eingehängt.
  • Das Behältnis 3.1 ist an einem Ende einer Haltestange 3.2 befestigt, während am anderen Ende der Haltstange 3.2 ein Handgriff 3.2.1 ausgebildet ist.
  • Das Gurtende 4.1 ist vorzugsweise entgegen dem Uhrzeigersinn aufgerollt. Es liegt in Erdschwerkraftrichtung gesehen auf einer am Behältnis 3.1 ausgebildeten Auflage 3.1.1 auf und senkrecht zur Erdschwerkraftrichtung gesehen an einer Rückwand 3.1.2 an (vgl. 2).
  • Das mit dem Zurrpunkt 5 verbundene zweite Gurtende 4.2 liegt im Bereich des aufgerollten ersten Gurtendes 4.1 auf diesem auf.
  • Beim Betreiben dieser Anordnung sorgt das Personal 7 zunächst für die Positionierung der Hilfsvorrichtung 3 in der Arbeitsposition, indem die Hilfsvorrichtung 3 soweit in Hubrichtung 8 angehoben wird, bis sich das Behältnis 3.1 mit dem Gurtende 4.1 wie ersichtlich seitlich über dem Transportgut 2 befindet.
  • Um das erste Gurtende 4.1 von dieser Seite auf die gegenüberliegende Seite der Ladefläche 1 zu werfen, wird das Behältnis 3.1 mittels der Haltestange 3.2 manuell in eine beschleunigte Schwenkbewegung in der Schwenkrichtung 9 versetzt. Die Schwenkbewegung wird beim Auftreffen der Haltestange 3.2 am Anschlagpunkt 10 auf das Transportgut 2 abrupt gestoppt und so die kinetische Energie der Schwenkbewegung impulsartig auf das erste Gurtende 4.1 übertragen, wodurch das Gurtende 4.1 über das Transportgut 2 hinweg abrollt. Es kann daraufhin auf der Gegenseite an einem weiteren Zurrpunkt 6 eingehängt werden.
  • In einer vorteilhaften Ausgestaltung der Erfindung kann die Haltestange 3.2 mit variabler Länge ausgeführt sein, so dass die Hilfsvorrichtung 3 auch für unterschiedliche Körpergrößen des Personals 7 und verschiedene Höhen des Transportgutes 2 nutzbar ist.
  • Der Vorteil dieser Anordnung bzw. der erfindungsgemäßen Hilfsvorrichtung besteht in einer wesentlichen Arbeitserleichterung für das Personal 7 im Vergleich zum Stand der Technik.
• 2 zeigt als Ausschnitt aus 1 eine Einzeldarstellung des Behältnisses 3.1 mit einemeingelegten Gurtende 4.1.
  • In 2a, einem Schnitt durch die Ebene X-X gemäß 2b, sind Beispiele für die Auflage 3.1.1 und die Rückwand 3.1.2 zu erkennen. Hier ist jede andere Ausgestaltung denkbar, bei der die bereits beschriebenen Funktionen der Auflage 3.1.1 und der Rückwand 3.1.2 gewährleistet sind.
  • Aus 2b, einer Seitenansicht des Behältnisses 3.1 aus 2a, wird der Abstand der Seitenwände 11 zueinander deutlich. Die Seitenwände 11 begrenzen die Stirnseiten des zylindrisch aufgerollten Gurtendes 4.1 und halten dieses so in seiner Position. Der Abstand der Seitenwände 11 zueinander entspricht im Wesentlichen der Breite des Zurrgurtes 4. In einer vorteilhaften Ausgestaltung der Erfindung kann der Abstand variabel ausgeführt sein, so dass die Hilfsvorrichtung 3 auch für unterschiedliche Gurtbreiten nutzbar ist.

The invention will be explained in more detail below using an exemplary embodiment. In the accompanying drawings show:

• 1 shows an example of the implementation of the invention. Shown is a loading area 1, for example a truck, parked on it with a cargo 2, such as a container.
  • Also visible is a basic representation of the auxiliary device 3 according to the invention, which essentially comprises a container 3.1 and a holding rod 3.2. The container 3.1 is designed to accommodate a first belt end 4.1 of a lashing belt 4, which is rolled up spirally into a cylindrical roll.
  • The container 3.1 is attached to one end of a holding rod 3.2, while a handle 3.2.1 is formed at the other end of the holding rod 3.2.
  • The belt end 4.1 is preferably rolled up counterclockwise. Seen in the direction of gravity, it rests on a support 3.1.1 formed on the container 3.1 and seen perpendicular to the direction of gravity on a rear wall 3.1.2 (cf. 2 ).
  • The second belt end 4.2 connected to the lashing point 5 rests on the rolled-up first belt end 4.1 in the region of the latter.
  • When operating this arrangement, the staff 7 first ensures that the auxiliary device 3 is positioned in the working position by lifting the auxiliary device 3 in the lifting direction 8 until the container 3.1 with the belt end 4.1 is located laterally above the transported goods 2, as can be seen.
  • In order to throw the first belt end 4.1 from this side onto the opposite side of the loading area 1, the container 3.1 is manually set in an accelerated pivoting movement in the pivoting direction 9 by means of the holding rod 3.2. The pivoting movement is stopped abruptly when the holding rod 3.2 hits the attachment point 10 on the transported goods 2 and the kinetic energy of the pivoting movement is thus transmitted in pulses to the first belt end 4.1, whereby the belt end 4.1 rolls over the transported goods 2. It can then be hung on another lashing point 6 on the opposite side.
  • In an advantageous embodiment of the invention, the holding rod 3.2 can be designed with a variable length, so that the auxiliary device 3 can also be used for different body sizes of the personnel 7 and different heights of the transported goods 2.
  • The advantage of this arrangement and the auxiliary device according to the invention consists in a significant reduction in the workload for the staff 7 compared to the prior art.
• 2 shows as a section 1 an individual view of the container 3.1 with an inserted belt end 4.1.
  • In 2a , according to a section through the plane XX 2 B , examples of the support 3.1.1 and the back wall 3.1.2 can be seen. Any other configuration is conceivable here, in which the functions of the support 3.1.1 and the rear wall 3.1.2 already described are guaranteed.
  • Out of 2 B , a side view of the container 3.1 2a , the distance between the side walls 11 to one another becomes clear. The side walls 11 delimit the end faces of the cylindrically rolled-up belt end 4.1 and thus hold it in its position. The distance between the side walls 11 essentially corresponds to the width of the lashing strap 4. In an advantageous embodiment of the invention, the distance can be made variable, so that the auxiliary device 3 can also be used for different strap widths.

Comparable to the in 1 and 2 The arrangement described by way of example is also conceivable within the scope of the invention, in which the belt can be thrown over the tarpaulin of truck bodies or truck trailer bodies by means of the auxiliary device 3 without great physical exertion.
