Abstract

My ideas are based on the premise that the driver of a motor vehicle has become stuck. Whether in snow, mud, gravel, sand or wherever it is not possible for him to continue under the vehicle's own force. Now, the driver fetches from his vehicle two cable drum attachments which are approximately the same size as a wheel cap and clamps them onto the rims of the drive wheels by means of a rapid-release fastening. He secures the cables which are approximately 25-30 m long as parallel as possible with the longitudinal axis of the vehicle to a fixed point or an anchor in the earth. By simply starting up the engine, forwards or backwards, the cables are wound onto the cable drums and thus shorten the path between the vehicle and the fixed point. In this way the ''winching'' effect is as strong as that of the vehicle motor. After the vehicle has reached firm ground again, the cable drum attachments are taken off again by unlocking the quick-release fastening and stowed in the vehicle. No external help is required during the entire process of freeing the vehicle. <IMAGE>

Description

Auxiliary device for moving motor vehicles

The invention relates to a movement aid for multi-lane motor vehicles with non-free wheels.

From my experience as a police officer in the Sauerland, I know how quickly you can get stuck with a vehicle.

This fact gave me the idea of a rescue aid for To develop Krat vehicles.

Many drivers have already been able to do that The drive wheels of your motor vehicle did not find a firm hold on the ground, (e.g.

on tape, snow, ice, wet grass, mud, engine, rubble, etc.).

As soon as the drive wheels no longer have a firm grip, they grind digs deeper and deeper into the underground. The driver is then no longer efficient able to drive himself with his motor vehicle. to free. The only way that what was left to him up to now was to bring a second vehicle or a rescue team, to tow his own motor vehicle. This necessity proves itself however, it is often considered impossible or at least very time-consuming and costly.

The invention is based on the idea of a simple auxiliary device to create1 that can be carried in every type of fan tool and that allows the Motor vehicle without any difficulties and without outside help.

In my deliberations, I assumed the following facts: A motor vehicle is stuck in difficult or impassable terrain and can be used by the driver are no longer moved with their own resources.

On at least one of the drive wheels (e.g. on vehicles with a differential lock) a cable drum attachment is attached to the rim. This is still possible when the vehicle is stuck in the mud up to the axle.

A rope (e.g. steel or hemp rope) is attached to this rope drum.

The ropes are attached to a tree, post or ground anchor, depending on the shape of the terrain Or the like. Attached, as parallel as possible to the longitudinal axis of the vehicle.

By starting in forward or reverse gear (depending on the desired Direction of pull) the rope winds on the rope drum and inevitably shortens the route to the attachment point of the rope, so that the vehicle is on its own Motor power freed.

Of course, it does not matter whether the cable drum attachment can be attached and is therefore detachably connected to the rim or to the drive axle.

The following describes the drawings that make up some Characteristics of the bond result.

The figures show: FIG. 1 a motor vehicle in plan view with two cable drum attachments (3) Figure 2 shows a section through the drive wheel (in this case, Voralerrad) of a Motor vehicle, equipped with a rope drum with unwound rope (4) figure 3 a cable drum attachment for fastening to a rim according to FIG. 2, FIG. 4 a Type of attachment of the cable drum attachment to the rim Figure 5 one possibility lock the movable hook (7) by means of a grub screw (lo), FIG. 6 Another possibility of locking the displaceable hook (7) by a lever mechanism (11) As can be seen from Figure 1, the drive wheels (2) of a motor vehicle (1) are provided with side drum attachments (3). The side drum approaches (3) are fitted with a rope attached to a tree, a strong stake, a Ground anchor or the like. Is attached.

As can be seen from Figure 2, the cable drum attachment is centered (centric to the drive axle) attached to the rim as follows: Several on the cable drum attachment (3) welded hooks (6) engage together with the sliding hook (7) in the rim holes and are pressed onto the rim using the sliding hook (7) and thus connects the rim and the cable drum attachment.

The spacers (9) ensure that the cable drum attachment is evenly positioned on the rim. The @ uhrungsschinenen (8) of the hook (7) also serve as Spacers.

As can be seen from Figure 5 and Figure 6 by a mechanism attached to the movable hook (7) of the cable drum attachment on the rim (2a).

In Figure 5, the displaceable hook (7) is secured by a grub screw (lo) locked. This is indicated by a recess (7a) in the hook (7) located, supported.

Figure 6 shows another one that is simpler in practical use and easier to use type of attachment.

Here the sliding hook (7) is fastened by means of a clamping lever (11) pressed firmly onto the rim (2a).

The fastening options for the rope (4) are quite variable. There is always the possibility, for example, of a port (3a) @@ der Seiltrom @ et (3) to be provided in order to carry out and fix @@@@ @eil here (e.g. @notes, loop with pen etc.).

But there is also the possibility of welding on a spigot, to screw on doer like .. It is essential that the deil (4) has its Balt, so when turning, the wheels roll up on the ax drum and not on it grinds.
