Abstract

The device is provided on a guiding rail (1) of a protection against falling which has the guiding rail (1) with a C-shaped profile, open towards the front, and a slide, for extracting the slide from or inserting it into the guide rail (1), with a rail piece (2) which forms a part of the guiding rail (1), has the same profile as the guiding rail (1) and is laterally pivotable about an axis of rotation (6) which extends from front to rear. The pivoting region of the rail piece is limited by a stop to the minimum which is necessary for it to be possible to insert a slide into the rail piece. The axis of rotation extends below the centre of the rail piece, so that the slide can be extracted or inserted only upwards and cannot fall out downwards. <IMAGE>

Description

Die Erfindung betrifft eine sog. Ausstiegsvorrichtung, d.h. eine Vorrichtung zum Herausnehmen und Einsetzen einer Fang­einrichtung aus bzw. in eine Führungsschiene eines Fallschut­zes. Der Fallschutz besteht aus der Führungsschiene, die ein nach vorne offenes C-Profil aufweist, und einem Schlitten, an dem mittels eines Gurtes eine Person gesichert ist, die eine Leiter besteigt oder einen sonstigen Steigweg durchsteigt. Das C-Profil der Führungsschiene weist eine Rückseite und zwei seitliche Wangen auf, deren vordere Kanten zueinander hin abgewinkelt sind.The invention relates to a so-called exit device, i.e. a device for removing and inserting a safety device from or into a guide rail of a fall arrester. The fall protection consists of the guide rail, which has a C-profile that is open to the front, and a slide, on which a person is secured by means of a belt, who climbs a ladder or climbs another climb. The C-profile of the guide rail has a back and two side cheeks, the front edges of which are angled towards each other.

Aus DE-GM 88 11 779 ist eine Ausstiegsvorrichtung bekannt, bei der eine seitliche Wange des C-Profils der Führungsschiene auf einer Länge, die etwas größer ist als die Länge des Schlit­tens, ausgeschnitten und durch eine verschwenkbare Klappe ersetzt ist. In der geschlossenen Stellung der Klappe wird der Schlitten auch innerhalb des ausgeschnittenen Bereichs der Wange geführt. In der offenen Stellung der Klappe ist die Führung des Schlittens innerhalb des ausgeschnittenen Bereichs unterbrochen und kann der Schlitten an dieser Stelle in die Führungsschiene eingesetzt oder aus ihr herausgenommen werden. Zur Vermeidung von Unfällen ist es notwendig, darauf zu achten, daß sich die Klappe nach dem Herausnehmen oder Einsetzen eines Schlittens in der geschlossenen Stellung befindet. Andernfalls könnte der Schlitten eines nachfolgen­den Benutzers unbeabsichtigt aus der Führungsschiene heraus­fallen.From DE-GM 88 11 779 an exit device is known in which a side cheek of the C-profile of the guide rail is cut out to a length which is somewhat greater than the length of the slide and is replaced by a pivotable flap. In the closed position of the flap, the slide is also guided within the cut-out area of the cheek. In the open position of the flap, the guidance of the slide is interrupted within the cut-out area and the slide can be inserted into or removed from the guide rail at this point. To avoid accidents, make sure that the flap is in the closed position after removing or inserting a sled. Otherwise the sled of a subsequent user could accidentally fall out of the guide rail.

Bei Steigschutzeinrichtungen sind ferner Weichen in Form von Drehscheiben bekannt, die den Wechsel der Bewegungsrichtung z.B. von vertikal nach horizontal oder in einem Winkel zur Vertikalen ermöglichen. Die Drehscheibe weist ein kurzes Stück der Führungsschiene auf, das um eine durch die Mitte des Führungsschienenstückes gehende, von vorne nach hinten verlaufende Drehachse drehbar ist. Wird die abzweigende Füh­rungsschiene weggelassen, so kann eine solche Drehscheibe auch zum Herausnehmen und Einsetzen des Schlittens verwendet werden. Allerdings besteht dabei immer die Gefahr, daß durch eine spontane Drehung der Drehscheibe der Schlitten aus der Führungsschiene seitlich herausfällt.In the case of climbing protection devices, switches in the form of turntables are also known, which change the direction of movement, for example from vertical to horizontal or at an angle to Enable verticals. The turntable has a short piece of the guide rail, which is rotatable about an axis of rotation extending from the front to the rear and passing through the center of the guide rail piece. If the branching guide rail is omitted, such a turntable can also be used to remove and insert the slide. However, there is always the risk that a spontaneous rotation of the turntable will cause the carriage to fall out of the side of the guide rail.

Der Erfindung liegt die Aufgabe zugrunde, eine Vorrichtung der eingangs genannten Art so zu verbessern, daß ein ver­sehentliches Herausfallen des Schlittens aus der Führungs­schiene verhindert wird.The invention has for its object to improve a device of the type mentioned so that accidental falling out of the carriage is prevented from the guide rail.

Bei einer Vorrichtung mit einem seitlich verschwenkbaren Stück der Führungsschiene wird erfindungsgemäß diese Aufgabe dadurch gelöst, daß der Schwenkbereich des Schienenstücks durch einen Anschlag auf das Minimum begrenzt wird, das er­forderlich ist, damit ein Schlitten in das Schienenstück eingesetzt werden kann, und daß die Drehachse unterhalb der der Mitte des Schienenstücks liegt, so daß der Schlitten nur nach oben herausgenommen bzw. eingesetzt werden kann und nicht nach unten herausfallen kann.In a device with a laterally pivotable piece of the guide rail, this object is achieved in that the pivoting range of the rail piece is limited by a stop to the minimum that is necessary so that a carriage can be inserted into the rail piece, and that the axis of rotation below which lies in the middle of the rail section, so that the slide can only be removed or inserted upwards and cannot fall out downwards.

Zum Herausnehmen des Schlittens aus der Führungsschiene wird der Schlitten zunächst in das verschwenkbare Schienenstück geschoben. Darauf wird das Schienenstück verschwenkt, so daß es unter einem Winkel zur Führungsschiene steht und der Schlitten seitlich aus dem Schienenstück herausgezogen werden kann. Zum Einsetzen des Schlittens in die Führungsschiene wird das Schienenstück zunächst verschwenkt, so daß der Schlitten in das Schienenstück geschoben werden kann. Danach wird das Schienenstück in die geschlossene Stellung gedreht, in der es mit der Führungsschiene fluchtet, so daß der Schlitten aus dem Schienenstück in die Führungsschiene ge­schoben werden kann. In der verschwenkten, offenen Stellung der Vorrichtung sind die beiden sich an das Schienenstück anschließenden Enden der Führungsschiene zwar frei, wegen des zwischen diesen beiden Enden verschwenkbar befestigten Schienenstückes kann ein Schlitten jedoch nur teilweise aus diesen offenen Enden herausfahren, bis er an dem verschwenkten Schienenstück anstößt. Ein unbeabsichtigtes Herausfallen des Schlittens aus der Führungsschiene ist daher nicht möglich. Damit das Schienenstück den Schlitten aufnehmen kann, muß es mindestens so lange wie der Schlitten sein.To remove the carriage from the guide rail, the carriage is first pushed into the pivotable rail section. Then the rail section is pivoted so that it is at an angle to the guide rail and the slide can be pulled out of the side of the rail section. To insert the carriage into the guide rail, the rail section is first pivoted so that the carriage can be pushed into the rail section. The rail section is then rotated into the closed position in which it is aligned with the guide rail, so that the slide can be pushed out of the rail section into the guide rail. In the swiveled, open position the device, the two ends of the guide rail adjoining the rail section are free, but because of the rail section which is pivotably fastened between these two ends, a carriage can only partially move out of these open ends until it abuts the pivoted rail section. An unintentional falling out of the slide from the guide rail is therefore not possible. In order for the rail piece to receive the slide, it must be at least as long as the slide.

Dadurch, daß der Bereich der Schwenkbewegung des Schienen­stückes so begrenzt ist, daß der Schlitten in der verschwenk­ten Stellung des Schienenstückes gerade noch in das Schienen­stück eingesetzt bzw. herausgenommen werden kann, ergibt sich der Vorteil, daß ein Schlitten nur ganz geringfügig aus einem Ende der Führungsschiene herausfahren kann, bis er an dem verschwenkten Schienenstück anstößt.The fact that the range of the pivoting movement of the rail piece is so limited that the slide can just be inserted into or removed from the rail piece in the pivoted position of the rail piece results in the advantage that a slide is only very slightly from one end of the guide rail can drive out until it hits the pivoted rail section.

Vorzugsweise ist das Schienenstück in der geschlossenen, d.h. mit der Führungsschiene fluchtenden Stellung verriegel­bar. Dazu ist im Inneren des einen Endes der Führungsschiene eine Riegelplatte von einer Verriegelungsstellung in eine Entriegelungsstellung verschiebbar angeordnet, wobei sich die Riegelplatte in der Verriegelungsstellung im Eingriff mit dem Schienenstück und dem sich daran anschließenden Ende der Führungsschiene befindet und in der Entriegelungsstellung vollständig in die Führungsschiene zurückgezogen ist, so daß es sich außer Eingriff mit dem Schienenstück befindet.Preferably the rail piece is in the closed, i.e. lockable with the guide rail aligned position. For this purpose, a locking plate is displaceably arranged in the interior of one end of the guide rail from a locking position into an unlocking position, the locking plate being in engagement with the rail piece and the adjoining end of the guide rail in the locking position and being completely retracted into the guide rail in the unlocking position is so that it is out of engagement with the rail piece.

Ein Ausführungsbeispiel der Erfindung wird nachfolgend an­hand der Zeichnung näher erläutert. Es zeigen:

  • Fig. 1 die Ausstiegsvorrichtung von vorne in geschlossener Stellung;
  • Fig. 2 die Ausstiegsvorrichtung von vorne in geöffneter, verschwenkter Stellung und
  • Fig. 3 die Ausstiegsvorrichtung im Schnitt nach 3-3 von Fig. 1.
An embodiment of the invention is explained below with reference to the drawing. Show it:
  • Figure 1 shows the exit device from the front in the closed position.
  • Fig. 2, the exit device from the front in the open, pivoted position and
  • 3 shows the exit device in section according to 3-3 of FIG. 1.

Fig. 1 zeigt eine Führungsschiene 1 in gestrichelten Linien, die durch eine Ausstiegsvorrichtung unterbrochen ist, die sich zwischen den beiden Enden 3 und 4 der Führungsschiene befindet. Die Ausstiegsvorrichtung weist ein Schienenstück auf, das um eine Drehachse 6 drehbar auf einer Verbindungs­schiene 7 gelagert ist, die ein U-Profil ist und sich mit den Enden 3, 4 der Führungsschiene 1 überlappt und mit diesen verbunden ist. Das Schienenstück 2 hat das gleiche Profil wie die Führungsschiene 1 und fluchtet in der geschlossenen Stellung exakt mit der Führungsschiene 1, so daß ein Schlit­ten eines Fallschutzes glatt von dem einen Ende 3 über das Schienenstück 2 in das andere Ende 4 der Führungsschiene 1 gleiten kann.Fig. 1 shows a guide rail 1 in broken lines, which is interrupted by an exit device which is located between the two ends 3 and 4 of the guide rail. The exit device has a rail piece which is rotatably mounted about an axis of rotation 6 on a connecting rail 7, which is a U-profile and overlaps with the ends 3, 4 of the guide rail 1 and is connected to the latter. The rail section 2 has the same profile as the guide rail 1 and is exactly aligned with the guide rail 1 in the closed position, so that a slide of a fall arrester can slide smoothly from one end 3 over the rail section 2 into the other end 4 of the guide rail 1.

Die Drehachse 6 des Schienenstücks 2 verläuft zweckmäßig von hinten nach vorne, d.h., normal zur Rückseite der Füh­rungsschiene 1 bzw. des Schienenstücks 2. Die Lagerung besteht aus einer Buchse 8, die sich von der Verbindungs­schiene 7 nach hinten erstreckt und einer großdimensionier­ten Schraube 5, die das Schienenstück 2 und die Verbindungs­schiene 7 im Drehpunkt durchsetzt und am hinteren Ende der Buchse 8 durch eine Mutter 9 mit einem Spannstift gesichert ist. Der Sechskantkopf der Schraube 5 ist auf einer kleinen Platte 10 festgeschweißt, die ihrerseits mittels einer Senkkopfschraube 11 und einer Mutter am Boden des Schienen­stücks 2 befestigt ist. Da das Schienenstück 2, wie üblich, aus Aluminium besteht, kann die Stahlschraube 5 nicht un­mittelbar an das Schienenstück 2 angeschweißt werden. Durch einen unterhalb der Drehachse 6 in der Verbindungsschiene 7 angeordnete und in einem Langloch 12 des Bodens des Schie­nenstücks 2 gleitenden Anschlagbolzen 13 wird der Schwenkbe­reich des Schienenstücks 2 so begrenzt, daß das Schienen­stück 2 nur im Uhrzeigersinn und nur soweit verschwenkt werden kann, daß die linke Wange 14 des Schienenstücks 2 bei der rechten Wange 15 des Endes 3 der Führungsschiene 1 liegt und damit der Schlitten gerade noch aus dem Schienen­stück 2 nach oben herausgezogen werden kann. Da die Drehachse 6 etwas unterhalb der Mitte des Schienenstücks 2 liegt und damit das obere Ende des Schienenstücks 2 stärker verschwenkt wird als das untere Ende, kann der Schlitten nur nach oben herausgenommen bzw. von oben eingesetzt werden. Dies ist zweckmäßig, damit ein von oben eingesetzter Schlitten nicht sofort aus dem Schienenstück 2 nach unten herausfallen kann.The axis of rotation 6 of the rail section 2 expediently runs from the rear to the front, ie, normal to the rear of the guide rail 1 or the rail section 2. The bearing consists of a bushing 8 which extends from the connecting rail 7 to the rear and a large-sized screw 5, which passes through the rail section 2 and the connecting rail 7 at the pivot point and is secured at the rear end of the socket 8 by a nut 9 with a roll pin. The hexagon head of the screw 5 is welded onto a small plate 10, which in turn is fastened to the bottom of the rail section 2 by means of a countersunk screw 11 and a nut. Since the rail section 2 consists, as usual, of aluminum, the steel screw 5 cannot be welded directly to the rail section 2. By an arranged below the axis of rotation 6 in the connecting rail 7 and in a slot 12 of the bottom of the rail section 2 sliding stop pin 13, the pivoting range of the rail section 2 is limited so that the rail section 2 is only pivoted clockwise and only as far can be that the left cheek 14 of the rail section 2 is at the right cheek 15 of the end 3 of the guide rail 1 and thus the slide can just be pulled up out of the rail section 2. Since the axis of rotation 6 lies somewhat below the center of the rail section 2 and thus the upper end of the rail section 2 is pivoted more than the lower end, the slide can only be removed upwards or inserted from above. This is useful so that a slide inserted from above cannot immediately fall out of the rail section 2 downwards.

Wie man in Fig. 2 sofort erkennt, kann bei verschwenktem Schienenstück 2, d.h. bei offener Ausstiegsvorrichtung, ein Schlitten nicht aus dem oberen Ende 3 der Führungsschiene 1 herausfallen und ebenso kann ein Schlitten nicht aus dem unteren Ende 4 der Führungsschiene 1 herausgehoben werden, da das Innere der Enden 3, 4 der Führungsschiene 1 von dem schrägstehenden Schienenstück 2 zum Teil blockiert ist. Es besteht daher nicht die Gefahr, daß ein Schlitten bei der Ausstiegsvorrichtung versehentlich aus der Führungsschiene 1 herausfällt.As can be seen immediately in Fig. 2, with pivoted rail section 2, i.e. when the exit device is open, a slide cannot fall out of the upper end 3 of the guide rail 1 and likewise a slide cannot be lifted out of the lower end 4 of the guide rail 1, since the inside of the ends 3, 4 of the guide rail 1 from the inclined rail section 2 to Part is blocked. There is therefore no risk that a slide in the exit device accidentally falls out of the guide rail 1.

Am oberen Ende 3 der Führungsschiene 1 befindet sich eine Verriegelungsvorrichtung, die eine Riegelplatte 16 aufweist, die in der Entriegelungsstellung vollständig in das obere Ende 3 geschoben ist und in der Verriegelungsstellung zum Teil ins Innere des Schienenstücks 2 geschoben ist, so daß die Ausstiegsvorrichtung in der geschlossenen, mit der Füh­rungsschiene 1 fluchtenden Stellung gesichert ist. Von der Riegelplatte 16 erstreckt sich eine Gewindestange 17 durch ein Langloch 18 der Verbindungsschiene 7 nach hinten, und auf das rückwärtige Ende der Gewindestange 17 ist ein Kugel­kopf 19 aufgeschraubt. Soweit sich das Schienenstück 2 in der geschlossenen Stellung der Ausstiegsvorrichtung mit dem Langloch 18 überlappt, ist das Schienenstück 2 ebenfalls ausgeschnitten. Auf der Rückseite der Verbindungsschiene 7 ist an der Gewindestange 17 ferner ein Gleitstück 20 befestigt, das durch eine Gewindebuchse 21 in einem Abstand von der Riegelplatte 16 gehalten wird, der der Summe der Materialstärke der Verbindungsschiene 7 und des Schienen­stücks 2 entspricht. An einem Winkelflansch des Gleitstücks 20 greift eine Schraubendruckfeder 22 an, die sich gegen eine Stützplatte 23 an der Verbindungsschiene 7 abstützt und die Riegelplatte 16 in die Verriegelungsstellung drückt. Die Schraubenfeder 22 wird durch eine Schraube 24 geführt, die sich durch Bohrungen des Winkelflansches und der Stützplatte 23 erstreckt.At the upper end 3 of the guide rail 1 there is a locking device which has a locking plate 16 which is completely pushed into the upper end 3 in the unlocking position and is partially pushed into the interior of the rail piece 2 in the locking position, so that the exit device in the closed position aligned with the guide rail 1 is secured. A threaded rod 17 extends from the locking plate 16 through an elongated hole 18 of the connecting rail 7 to the rear, and a ball head 19 is screwed onto the rear end of the threaded rod 17. As far as the rail section 2 overlaps with the elongated hole 18 in the closed position of the exit device, the rail section 2 is also cut out. On the back of the connecting rail 7 there is also a slide 20 on the threaded rod 17 attached, which is held by a threaded bushing 21 at a distance from the locking plate 16, which corresponds to the sum of the material thickness of the connecting rail 7 and the rail section 2. A helical compression spring 22, which is supported against a support plate 23 on the connecting rail 7 and presses the locking plate 16 into the locking position, engages on an angular flange of the slider 20. The coil spring 22 is guided by a screw 24 which extends through bores in the angle flange and the support plate 23.

An der linken Wange 14 des Schienenstücks 2 ist ein nach vorne vorstehendes Sicherungsblech 25 angeschraubt, das in Zusammenwirkung mit einem am Schlitten nach rechts abste­henden Stift in bekannter Weise verhindert, daß der Schlitten in falscher Ausrichtung in das Schienenstück 2 eingesetzt werden kann.On the left cheek 14 of the rail section 2, a protruding locking plate 25 is screwed on, which, in cooperation with a pin projecting to the right on the slide, prevents in a known manner that the slide can be inserted into the rail section 2 in the wrong orientation.
