Description

Die Erfindung bezieht sich auf eine Zurrstange zum Einhängen in eine Verankerungsöffnung einer Container-Ecke, mit am oberen Ende vorgesehenen Einhakbeschlägen, die jeweils einen sich im wesentlichen senkrecht zur Stange erstreckenden Zapfen aufweisen, an dem ein Einhakabschnitt befestigt ist, der bezüglich der Ebene, in der die Mittelachse der Stange liegt und zu der die Längsachse des an den Einhakabschnitt anschließenden Abschnitts des Zapfens parallel verläuft, asymmetrisch ist, so daß die erste Seite des Einhakabschnittes weiter seitlich über die Ebene vorspringt als die gegenüberliegende, zweite Seite, und der bei in eine Verankerungsöffnung eingehängtem Einhakbeschlag und in die Spannstellung verschwenkter Stange Randbereiche der Verankerungsöffnung hintergreift, wobei einer der Einhakabschnitte zum Hintergreifen der Randbereiche der Verankerungsöffnung bei zu der einen Seite der Verlängerung der senkrechten Achse der Verankerungsöffnung verschwenktem unteren Ende der Stange und der andere Einhakabschnitt zum Hintergreifen der Randbereiche der Verankerungsöffnung bei zu der anderen Seite der Verlängerung der senkrechten Achse der Verankerungsöffnung verschwenktem unteren Ende der Stange ausgebildet ist und die beiden Einhakabschnitte spiegelbildlich zu einer zwischen ihnen liegenden Ebene verlaufen.The invention relates to a lashing rod for hanging in an anchoring opening of a container corner, with hooking fittings provided at the upper end, each of which has a pin extending essentially perpendicular to the rod, to which a hooking section is fastened, which is fixed with respect to the plane in which is the central axis of the rod and to which the longitudinal axis of the section of the pin adjoining the hooking section runs parallel, is asymmetrical, so that the first side of the hooking section projects further laterally over the plane than the opposite, second side, and which at one Anchoring opening hooked-in fitting and in the clamping position pivoted rod reaches behind edge regions of the anchoring opening, one of the hooking sections for engaging behind the edge regions of the anchoring opening with the lower end pivoted to one side of the extension of the vertical axis of the anchoring opening e of the rod and the other hooking section is designed to engage behind the edge regions of the anchoring opening with the lower end of the rod pivoted to the other side of the extension of the vertical axis of the anchoring opening and the two hooking sections run in mirror image to a plane lying between them.

Bei einer bekannten Zurrstange dieser Art (EP-PS 0 071 889) sind die Einhakbeschläge einander genau gegenüberliegend am oberen Ende der Stange angeordnet, so daß die Ebene, zu der die Einhakabschnitte spiegelbildlich angeordnet sind, praktisch parallel zu den Einhakabschnitten verläuft. Die Einhakabschnitte selbst bestehen jeweils aus einer Verriegelungsnase, die sich zumindest in etwa in Längsrichtung der Stange sowie vom Zapfen in Richtung weg vom entfernten Stangenende erstreckt, und einer Zusatz-Verriegelungsnase, die sich im wesentlichen quer zum Zapfen und quer zur Verriegelungsnase erstreckt, wobei die Verriegelungsnase und die Zusatz-Verriegelungsnase in einer Ebene liegen. Die Verriegelungsnase hat eine maximale Breite, die geringer ist als die maximale Breite der Verankerungsöffnung einer unteren Container-Ecke, und der Abstand zwischen dem freien Ende der Verriegelungsnase und ihrem gegenüberliegenden Ende bzw. der dem freien Ende der Verriegelungsnase abgewandten Fläche des Zapfens ist kleiner als die Hohe der Verankerungsöffnung einer unteren Container-Ecke, jedoch so groß, daß die Verriegelungsnase in der Spannstellung den Randbereich der stirnseitigen Verankerungsöffnung einer oberen Container-Ecke hintergreift. Die Zusatz-Verriegelungsnase erstreckt sich in der Spannstellung, also in einer Stellung, in der das untere Ende der Stange aus der senkrechten Achse der Verankerungsöffnung seitlich verschwenkt ist, hinter den Randbereich der stirnseitigen Verankerungsöffnung, die dem Randbereich gegenüberliegt, der von der Verriegelungsnase hintergriffen wird. Dabei befindet sich das untere Ende der verschwenkten Stange auf der gleichen Seite von der senkrechten Achse durch die Verankerungsöffnung wie das freie Ende der Zusatz- Verriegelungsnase, während das freie Ende der Verriegelungsnase an der gegenüberliegenden Seite dieser Achse liegt.In a known lashing rod of this type (EP-PS 0 071 889), the hooking fittings are arranged exactly opposite one another at the upper end of the rod, so that the plane to which the hooking sections are arranged in mirror image runs practically parallel to the hooking sections. The hooking sections themselves each consist of a locking lug which extends at least approximately in the longitudinal direction of the rod and from the pin in the direction away from the distal end of the bar, and an additional locking lug which extends essentially transversely to the pin and transversely to the locking lug, the Locking lug and the additional locking lug lie in one plane. The locking lug has a maximum width that is less than the maximum width of the anchoring opening of a lower container corner, and the distance between the free end of the locking lug and its opposite end or the surface of the pin facing away from the free end of the locking lug is smaller than the height of the anchoring opening of a lower container corner, but so large that the locking lug engages behind the edge region of the front-side anchoring opening of an upper container corner in the tensioned position. The additional locking lug extends in the clamping position, i.e. in a position in which the lower end of the rod is pivoted laterally out of the vertical axis of the anchoring opening, behind the edge region of the front-side anchoring opening, which lies opposite the edge region which is engaged by the locking lug . The lower end of the pivoted rod is on the same side of the vertical axis through the anchoring opening as the free end of the additional locking lug, while the free end of the locking lug is on the opposite side of this axis.

Mittels dieser bekannten Zurrstange ist, wie ausführlich in der EP-PS 0 071 889 erläutert, ein sicheres Verankern der Zurrstange sowohl in den schmaleren Verankerungsöffnungen in den unteren Container-Ecken und den seitlichen Verankerungsöffnungen in den oberen Container-Ecken als auch in den breiteren, stirnseitig vorgesehenen Verankerungsöffnungen an den oberen Container-Ecken möglich, wobei sich infolge der spiegelbildlich einander gegenüberliegend angeordneten, asymmetrischen Einhakabschnitte der eine Einhakbeschlag zur Verwendung bei einer Spannstellung mit sich nach unten rechts und der andere Einhakbeschlag zur Verwendung in einer Spannstellung mit sich nach unten links erstreckender Stange eignet.By means of this known lashing rod, as explained in detail in EP-PS 0 071 889, the lashing rod is securely anchored both in the narrower anchoring openings in the lower container corners and in the lateral anchoring openings in the upper container corners as well as in the wider ones. Anchoring openings provided on the end face are possible at the upper container corners, whereby due to the mirror-symmetrically arranged, asymmetrical hooking sections, one hooking fitting for use in a tensioned position with downward right and the other hooked fitting for use in a tensioned position with downward left extending Rod is suitable.

Eine Schwierigkeit bei der Verwendung der bekannten Zurrstange besteht darin, daß der dem eingehängten Einhakbeschlag gegenüberliegende Einhakbeschlag im Weg ist, wenn ein Container festgezurrt werden soll, der auf dem Container ruht, in dessen eine obere Verankerungsöffnung die Zurrstange eingehängt ist. Infolge des Überstandes des freien Einhakbeschlages nach außen ist es dann äußerst schwierig und häufig unmöglich, eine weitere, entsprechend ausgebildete Zurrstange in Eingriff mit einer unmittelbar darüberliegenden Verankerungsöffnung des oberen Containers zu bringen, worauf auch bereits in der vorstehend erwähnten EP-PS 0 071 889 hingewiesen wurde.A difficulty with the use of the known lashing rod is that the hooking fitting opposite the hooked-in fitting is in the way when a container is to be lashed down, which rests on the container in whose upper anchoring opening the lashing rod is suspended. As a result of the protrusion of the free hooking fitting to the outside, it is then extremely difficult and often impossible to bring a further, appropriately designed lashing rod into engagement with an anchoring opening of the upper container directly above it, as already pointed out in the aforementioned EP-PS 0 071 889 has been.

Es ist Aufgabe der Erfindung, eine Zurrstange mit am oberen Ende vorgesehenen Einhakbeschlägen so auszubilden, daß der freie Einhakbeschlag bei sich in der Spannstellung befindender Zurrstange das Einhängen einer anderen Zurrstange in die Verankerungsöffnung eines darüber befindlichen Containers nicht behindert.It is an object of the invention to provide a lashing rod with hook fittings provided at the upper end so that the free hook fitting when the lashing rod is in the tensioned position does not impede the hanging of another lashing rod into the anchoring opening of a container located above it.

Zur Lösung dieser Aufgabe wird eine Zurrstange der eingangs erwähnten Art erfindungsgemäß derart ausgestaltet, daß die Längsachse der an die Einhakabschnitte anschließenden Abschnitte der Zapfen einen Winkel kleiner als 180° einschließen, wobei in einer Ebene normal zur Mittelachse der Stange der Abstand der seitlichen Endbereiche der ersten Seiten der Einhakabschnitte voneinander größer ist als der Abstand der seitlichen Endbereiche der zweiten Seiten der Einhakabschnitte voneinander. Vorzugsweise beträgt der von den Längsachsen eingeschlossene Winkel etwa 90° bis 165°, insbesondere etwa 90° bis 120°.To solve this problem, a lashing rod of the type mentioned is designed according to the invention in such a way that the longitudinal axis of the sections of the pins adjoining the hooking sections form an angle of less than 180 ° , the distance between the lateral end regions of the first being in a plane normal to the central axis of the rod Sides of the hooking sections from one another is greater than the distance of the lateral end regions of the second sides of the hooking sections from one another. The angle enclosed by the longitudinal axes is preferably approximately 90 ° to 165 ° , in particular approximately 90 ° to 120 ° .

Bei der erfindungsgemäßen Zurrstange liegen sich somit die Einhakabschnitte der beiden Einhakbeschläge nicht mehr, wie bei der bekannten Zurrstange, genau gegenüber, sondern sie sind aus dieser Gegenüberstellung mit ihren seitlich weniger vorstehenden Bereichen näher aneinandergerückt. Dies führt dazu, daß bei eingehängtem Einhakbeschlag und sich in der Spannstellung befindender Stange der freie Einhakbeschlag seitlich bezüglich des Bereichs der den eingehängten Einhakbeschlag aufnehmenden Containeröffnung verschwenkt ist. Dieser verschwenkte Einhakbeschlag liegt dadurch auch seitlich bezüglich der sich unmittelbar oberhalb befindenden Verankerungsöffnung in der unteren Container-Ecke des aufgesetzten Containers, so daß eine weitere Zurrstange ohne Behinderung . durch den freien Einhakbeschlag in diese obere Verankerungsöffnung eingeführt und die zugehörige Zurrstange in die Spannstellung verschwenkt werden kann.In the lashing rod according to the invention, the hooking sections of the two hooking fittings are therefore no longer exactly opposite one another, as in the known lashing rod, but they are moved closer together from this comparison with their laterally less protruding areas. This means that when the hook-in fitting is in place and the rod is in the tensioned position, the free hook-in fitting is pivoted laterally with respect to the region of the container opening receiving the hook-in fitting. This pivoted hooking fitting is also located laterally with respect to the anchoring opening located immediately above in the lower container corner of the attached container, so that a further lashing rod without hindrance. through the free hook fitting into this upper anchoring opening and the associated lashing rod can be pivoted into the clamping position.

Es sei erwähnt, daß die Verschwenkung des freien Einhakbeschlages, also die Größe des Winkels zwischen den Längsachsen der an die Einhakabschnitte anschließenden Abschnitte der Zapfen entscheidend davon abhängt, wieweit die seitlich mehr vorspringende Seite des Einhakbeschlages vorsteht. Ganz allgemein läßt sich sagen, daß der Winkel so gewählt werden sollte, daß der freie Einhakbeschlag soweit bezüglich desjenigen Bereiches verlagert ist, der für das Einhängen einer weiteren Zurrstange in einer darüberliegenden Verankerungsöffnung benötigt wird.It should be mentioned that the pivoting of the free hook fitting, that is, the size of the angle between the longitudinal axes of the sections of the pin adjoining the hooking sections, depends crucially on the extent to which the laterally projecting side of the hook fitting projects. In general it can be said that the angle should be chosen so that the free hooking fitting is so far shifted with respect to the area that is required for hanging another lashing rod in an anchoring opening above it.

Die Erfindung wird im folgenden anhand der ein Ausführungsbeispiel zeigenden Figuren näher erläutert.

The locking lug 5 has a side surface 6 which extends tangentially with respect to the circular circumferential surface of the pin 2 or 2 'and merges into a curved surface at the free end. Furthermore, the outer surface of the locking lug 5 extends over its largest region 9 or 9 'at 45 ° from the side surface 6 in the direction of the outer surface 14 or 14' of the additional locking lug 10, with the meaning of the bevel 9 or 9 ' the explanations in EP-PS 0 071 889 are referred to.

Der. an sich kreiszylindrische Zapfen 2 bzw. 2' geht über einen Abrundungsbereich mit größerem Radius, an dem tangential die Seitenfläche 11 der Verriegelungsnase 10 anschließt, in einen im wesentlichen ebenen Bereich 3 bzw. 3' über, der mit der dem Zapfen 2 bzw. 2' zugewandten Fläche 13 bzw. 13' der Zusatz-Verriegelungsnase 10 bzw. 10' einen rechten Winkel einschließt, so daß auch die in diesem Bereich verlaufende Längsachse 7 bzw. 7' des Zapfens 2 bzw. 2' senkrecht zur Ebene von Verriegelungsnase 5 und Zusatz-Verriegelungsnase 10 verläuft.The additional locking lug 10 lies in the same plane as the locking lug 5 and has essentially the same thickness. It extends at right angles to the locking lug 5, its side surface 11, which tangentially transitions into the circular part of the pin 2 or 2 ′, extends at an angle of 90 ° with respect to the side surface 6 of the locking lug 5. Extending from the end surface 12 or 12 'running at right angles to the side surface 11 is a transverse locking surface 15 or 15', common to the two locking lugs 5 and 10, which extends at 45 ° with respect to the side surfaces 6 and 11 and which also supports the end surface 12 and 12 ' connects the curved upper end surface of the locking lug 5. The. circular cylindrical pegs 2 and 2 ' pass over a rounding area with a larger radius, to which the side surface 11 of the locking lug 10 tangentially connects, into a substantially flat area 3 and 3', which corresponds to that of the peg 2 and 2 'facing surface 13 or 13 ' of the additional locking lug 10 or 10 'includes a right angle so that the longitudinal axis 7 or 7' of the pin 2 or 2 'extending in this area also perpendicular to the plane of the locking lug 5 and Additional locking lug 10 runs.

Die vorstehend beschriebene Ausbildung der Einhakbeschläge mit den Zapfen 2 bzw. 2' und den Verriegelungsnasen 5 und 10 entspricht im wesentlichen dem Aufbau der Einhakbeschläge gemäß EP-PS 0 071 889. Ferner sind die Einhakbeschläge zu der in Figur 1 angedeuteten, durch die Mittelachse 1' der Stange 1 verlaufenden Ebene 8 spiegelbildlich zueinander angeordnet. Ferner erkennt man, daß die Zusatz-Verriegelungsnase 10 seitlich weiter über eine Ebene vorsteht, die die Mittelachse 1' der Stange 1 enthält und parallel zur Längsachse 7' des Zapfens 2 verläuft, als die Verriegelungsnase 5. Die Längsachsen 7, 7' der Zapfen 2, 2' liegen nicht in einer gemeinsamen Ebene, d.h. sie sind in einer Draufsicht entsprechend Figur 1 nicht in 180° zueinander angeordnet, sondern die Längsachsen 7, 7' schließen einen Winkel ein, der kleiner als 180° ist. Dabei ist der Abstand der in der normal zur Mittelachse l' der Stange 1 verlaufenden Ebene 16 (Figur 2) liegenden, seitlichen Endbereiche der Zusatz-Verriegelungsnase voneinander größer als der Abstand der in der Ebene 16 liegenden, seitlichen Endbereiche der Verriegelungsnasen voneinander, so daß sich der in Figur 1 untere Einhakbeschlag, und insbesondere sein Einhakabschnitt aus Verriegelungsnase und Zusatz-Verriegelungsnase außerhalb des Bereichs einer oberen Verankerungsöffnung einer Container- Ecke befindet, in die der Einhakbeschlag aus Zapfen 2, Verriegelungsnase 5 und Zusatz-Verriegelungsnase 10 eingehängt ist. Auf diese Weise kann eine weitere Zurrstange mit ihrem entsprechenden Einhakbeschlag in die Verankerungsöffnung einer unteren Container-Ecke eines sich unmittelbar darüber befindenden Containers eingehängt und in die Spannstellung verschwenkt werden, ohne daß der in Figur 1 unten dargestellte Einhakbeschlag der schon eingehängten Zurrstange das Einhängen in diese Verankerungsöffnung behindern oder erschweren würde.The above-described design of the hook-on fittings with the pins 2 and 2 'and the locking lugs 5 and 10 corresponds essentially to the structure of the hook-on fittings according to EP-PS 0 071 889. Furthermore, the hook-on fittings are the one indicated in FIG. 1 by the central axis 1 'The rod 1 extending plane 8 is arranged in mirror image to each other. It can also be seen that the additional locking lug 10 laterally protrudes beyond a plane which contains the central axis 1 'of the rod 1 and runs parallel to the longitudinal axis 7' of the pin 2, as the locking lug 5. The longitudinal axes 7, 7 'of the pin 2, 2 'are not in a common plane, ie they are not arranged in a plan view according to FIG. 1 at 180 ° to one another, but the longitudinal axes 7, 7' form an angle which is less than 180 ° . The distance between the lateral end regions of the additional locking lug lying in the plane 16 (FIG. 2) normal to the central axis 1 'of the rod 1 is greater than the distance between the lateral end regions of the locking lugs lying in the plane 16, so that the lower hooking fitting in FIG. 1, and in particular its hooking section comprising the locking lug and the additional locking lug, is located outside the area of an upper anchoring opening of a container corner into which the hooking fitting comprising the peg 2, the locking lug 5 and the additional locking lug 10 is suspended. In this way, a further lashing rod with its corresponding hook fitting can be hooked into the anchoring opening of a lower container corner of a container located directly above it and into the clamping position can be pivoted without the hooking fitting shown in FIG. 1 below of the already attached lashing rod would hinder or make it more difficult to hook into this anchoring opening.

Während der Einhakbeschlag mit Zapfen 2, Verriegelungsnase 5 und Zusatzverriegelungsnase 10 für eine Spannstellung bestimmt ist, bei der das untere Ende der Stange 1 in der Ansicht auf die die zugehörige Verankerungsöffnung aufweisende Containerwand bezüglich der senkrechten Achse der Verankerungsöffnung nach rechts verschwenkt ist, dient der in Figur 1 unten dargestellte Einhakbeschlag für eine Spannstellung, bei der das untere Ende der Stange 1 bezüglich der senkrechten Achse der Verankerungsöffnung nach links geschwenkt ist. Bei Benutzung dieses Einhakbeschlages ist dann der Einhakbeschlag mit Zapfen 2, Verriegelungsnase 5 und Zusatz-Verriegelungsnase 10 aus dem Bereich der Verankerungsöffnung verschwenkt und behindert das Einhängen einer anderen Zurrstange in eine darüberliegende Verankerungsöffnung nicht.While the hook-in fitting with pin 2, locking lug 5 and additional locking lug 10 is intended for a clamping position in which the lower end of the rod 1 is pivoted to the right with respect to the vertical axis of the anchoring opening in the view of the associated anchoring opening, the in Figure 1 below hook fitting for a clamping position in which the lower end of the rod 1 is pivoted to the left with respect to the vertical axis of the anchoring opening. When using this hooking fitting, the hooking fitting with pin 2, locking lug 5 and additional locking lug 10 is then pivoted out of the area of the anchoring opening and does not hinder the hanging of another lashing rod into an anchoring opening lying above it.

In dem dargestellten Ausführungsbeispiel beträgt der Winkel ϕ, der von den Längsachsen 7, 7' der Zapfen 2, 2' eingeschlossen wird, etwa 100° Selbstverständlich kann dieser Winkel auch noch verkleinert werden, beispielsweise auf 90° oder sogar weniger, um den jeweils freien Einhakbeschlag noch weiter aus dem Bereich der den anderen Einhakbeschlag aufnehmenden Verankerungsöffnung zu bewegen, ohne daß die Lage des freien Einhakbeschlages das Einhängen des anderen Einhakbeschlages in die Verankerungsöffnung behindern würde.In the exemplary embodiment shown, the angle ϕ, which is enclosed by the longitudinal axes 7, 7 'of the pins 2, 2', is approximately 100 °. Of course, this angle can also be reduced, for example to 90 ° or even less, by the respectively free one To move the hooking fitting still further from the area of the anchoring opening receiving the other hooking fitting, without the position of the free hooking fitting hindering the hooking of the other hooking fitting into the anchoring opening.

Ist durch die in der EP-PS 0 071 889 beschriebene Schrägstellung der Zapfen 2, 2' und der Einhakabschnitte bezüglich der Mittelachse l' der Stange 1 eine Optimierung der Position der Einhakbeschläge erreicht, so kann der Winkel zwischen den Längsachsen 7, 7' auf 165° oder etwas mehr vergrößert werden. In diesem Fall kann die zusätzliche Zurrstange mit ihrer beim Einhängen schräggestellten Stange unter die Zusatz-Verriegelungsnase des freien Einhakbeschlages der schon in der Spannstellung befindlichen Zurrstange geführt und das Einhängen vorgenommen werden.If the inclination of the pins 2, 2 'and the hooking sections with respect to the central axis 1' of the rod 1 described in EP-PS 0 071 889 optimizes the position of the hooking fittings, the angle between the longitudinal axes 7, 7 'can be increased Can be enlarged 165 ° or a little more. In this case, the additional lashing rod can be guided with its rod inclined when hooking in under the additional locking lug of the free hooking fitting of the lashing rod already in the tensioned position and the hooking can be carried out.

Bei einer Zurrstange mit nicht optimierter Position der Einhakbeschläge kann der Winkel zwischen den Längsachsen 7, 7' auf 120° oder auch mehr vergrößert werden, wobei dann der Bereich um die Endfläche 12- bzw. 12' der Zusatz-Verriegelungsnase des freien Einhakbeschlages soweit außerhalb des Bereichs der den anderen Einhakbeschlag aufnehmenden Verankerungsöffnung liegt, daß das Einhängen einer entsprechenden Zurrstange in eine darüberliegende Verankerungsöffnung nicht behindert wird.In the case of a lashing rod with a non-optimized position of the hooking fittings, the angle between the longitudinal axes 7, 7 'can be increased to 120 ° or more, the area around the end surface 12- or 12' of the additional locking lug of the free hooking fitting then being so far outside the area of the anchoring opening receiving the other hooking fitting is such that the hanging of a corresponding lashing rod into an anchoring opening lying above it is not hindered.
