Abstract

A suitcase with rollers, in which the rollers (2, 4) are held for the most part in recesses (6, 8) in the suitcase wall (9) and run on axles (10, 12) which are supported in bushes (14, 16) of elastomeric material, which bushes, in turn, are connected to the suitcase wall (9). According to the invention, at least one axle (10, 12) passes through the associated bush (14, 16) at such an inclination that the associated roller (2, 4) runs against the recess (6, 8) and is thus braked. A clamping device (26) engages on the extension (15, 17) of the axle (10, 12) on the inside of the suitcase, which clamping device can be actuated by a user in the sense of displacing the axle in the bush counter to its elastic restoring force so that the roller moves into a position of the axle in which it can roll freely. <IMAGE>

Description

Die Erfindung betrifft einen Rollenkoffer mit den Merkmalen des Oberbegriffs des Anspruchs 1. Ein solcher Rollenkoffer ist beispielsweise aus der EP-A-0 173 779 bekannt. Ein ähnlicher Rollenkoffer ist aus dem DE-GM 80 09 984 bekannt, wobei die Buchsen aus Elastomermaterial in Löchern der Kofferwandung sitzen und von den Achsen durchsetzt werden.The invention relates to a roller case with the features of the preamble of claim 1. Such a roller case is known for example from EP-A-0 173 779. A similar roller case is known from DE-GM 80 09 984, the bushings made of elastomer material sitting in holes in the case wall and being penetrated by the axes.

Eine Rollbeweglichkeit von Rollenkoffern ist nicht immer erwünscht. Beispielsweise sollen sich die Koffer auf Schrägförderbändern, wie sie im Flugverkehr eingesetzt werden, nicht von selbst in Bewegung setzen können. Es sind daher auch Rollenkoffer mit Bremsvorrichtungen bekannt geworden. Ein Beispiel zeigt die EP-A-0 440 878. Dabei ist am vorderen Ende des Koffers ein Bremsschuh angebracht, der über ein federbelastetes Hebelgestänge in Bremsstellung gegen den Untergrund ausfahrbar und nach Überfahren einer Raststellung durch Betätigen eines Zugbandes in Bremslösestellung bringbar ist.Roll mobility of roller cases is not always desirable. For example, the suitcases on inclined conveyor belts, such as those used in air traffic, should not be able to move by themselves. Roller cases with braking devices have therefore also become known. An example is shown in EP-A-0 440 878. In this case, a brake shoe is attached to the front end of the case, which can be extended against the ground in the braking position via a spring-loaded lever linkage and can be brought into the brake release position by actuating a drawstring after passing a locking position.

Der Erfindung liegt die Aufgabe zugrunde, einen Rollenkoffer der eingangs beschriebenen Art mit einer einfachen Bremsvorrichtung auszustatten.The invention has for its object to provide a roller case of the type described above with a simple braking device.

Zur Lösung dieser Aufgabe dient Anspruch 1.To solve this problem, claim 1.

Bei dem Rollenkoffer nach der Erfindung ist auf einen zusätzlichen Bremsschuh völlig verzichtet. Die Bremsstellung wird ausschließlich durch Zusammenwirken der Rollen mit schräger Achsenlage mit den zugehörigen Aussparungen oder einem darin oder anderenorts am Koffer austauschbar befestigten Teil, wie einem Bremsklotz, erzielt. Die Erfindung macht sich zum Aufheben dieser Bremswirkung zunutze, daß die Rollen mittels der Buchsen aus Elastomermaterial elastisch gelagert sind, was eine relative Verlagerung der Achsen gegenüber dem Elastomermaterial der Buchsen in ungebremste Rollstellung erlaubt. Diese relative Verlagerung wird durch die Spannvorrichtung bewirkt, welche von dem Benutzer betätigbar ist, beispielsweise über ein Zugband.In the roller case according to the invention, an additional brake shoe is completely dispensed with. The braking position is achieved exclusively by the interaction of the rollers with an inclined axis position with the associated recesses or a part, such as a brake pad, which is interchangeably fastened therein or elsewhere on the case. The invention takes advantage of this braking effect that the rollers are elastically supported by means of the bushings made of elastomer material, which allows the axes to be displaced relative to the elastomer material of the bushes in the unrestrained rolling position. This relative displacement is brought about by the tensioning device, which can be actuated by the user, for example via a drawstring.

Gemäß einer vorteilhaften Ausgestaltung der Erfindung ist die Spannvorrichtung von einen Flaschenzug gebildet, welcher eine auf die Benutzererfordernisse abgestimmte Kraft-/Weg-Dimensionierung in einer dem Fachmann geläufigen Weise erlaubt.According to an advantageous embodiment of the invention, the tensioning device is formed by a block and tackle, which allows a force / displacement dimensioning that is matched to the user requirements in a manner familiar to the person skilled in the art.

Es genügt im Grenzfall, wenn nur eine Rolle in der erfindungsgemäßen Weise mit schräger Achsenlage in von außen unbeeinflußter Situation ausgestaltet ist. Vorzugsweise sind jedoch zwei in Fahrtrichtung des Koffers hintereinanderliegende Rollen erfindungsgemäß abgestützt und von einer gemeinsamen Spannvorrichtung beaufschlagt.In the borderline case, it is sufficient if only one roller is configured in the manner according to the invention with an inclined axis position in a situation that is not influenced from the outside. Preferably, however, two rollers lying one behind the other in the direction of travel of the case are supported according to the invention and acted upon by a common tensioning device.

Prinzipiell lassen sich auch zwei in gleicher Achsenlage liegende Rollen (vorne oder hinten) oder alle vier Rollen eines vierrädrigen Rollenkoffers auf die erfindungsgemäße Weise abstützen. Wenn man dabei mit nur einer Spannvorrichtung auskommen will, müßte man dann die Zugschnur des Flaschenzuges über die Scharnier-Trennfuge der beiden Kofferhälften umleiten, was verhältnismäßig aufwendig ist.In principle, two rollers lying in the same axis position (front or rear) or all four rollers of a four-wheel roller case can be supported in the manner according to the invention. If you do it with just one jig wants to get along, one would then have to redirect the pull cord of the block and tackle over the hinge parting line of the two case halves, which is relatively expensive.

Eine besondere Ausführung eines Rollenkoffers gemäß der Erfindung ist in Anspruch 8 unter Schutz gestellt. Das hier verwendete zweite Zugband mit Griff und Rückstellfeder zum automatischen Wiedereinziehen des Zugbandes nach dem Loslassen ist an sich aus der US-A-4,508,202 bekannt.A special embodiment of a roller case according to the invention is protected in claim 8. The second drawstring used here with a handle and return spring for automatically retracting the drawstring after releasing it is known per se from US Pat. No. 4,508,202.

In den Fig. 1 bis 4 ist ein Schalenkoffer mit vier Rollen dargestellt, von denen nur die vorderen und die hinteren Rollen 2,4 der einen Schale 3 zu sehen sind. Die Rollen sind weitgehend in Aussparungen 6,8 der Schalenseitenwand 9 aufgenommen und auf Achsen 10,12 drehbar, welche in einer gemeinsamen horizontalen Ebene (die Zeichenebene in Fig. 2) gegenläufig zueinander geneigte Buchsen 14, 16 aus einem Elastomermaterial, wie Gummi, durchsetzen. Die Buchsen 14,16 sind durch Vulkanisieren, Kleben oder dgl. in entsprechende Durchgangsöffnungen der Schalenseitenwand 9 des Koffers und mit den Achsen 10,12 fest verbunden. Die gegenläufige Neigung der Achsen 10,12 bezüglich der parallelen Achsen a, b der Buchsen, welche mit ihrem äußeren Umfang in Durchgangslöcher 18, 20 der Schalenseitenwand 9 eingeklebt sind, ist gleich groß und so beschaffen, daß die Rollen 2,4 im Normalzustand, in welchem die Rollen nicht durch äußere Kräfte in Richtung einer anderen Achsenlage beaufschlagt sind, mit ihren Kanten an Stellen 22 bzw. 24 an den Aussparungen 6 bzw. 8 anlaufen und somit gebremst sind.1 to 4 a shell case with four rollers is shown, of which only the front and rear rollers 2, 4 of one shell 3 can be seen. The rollers are largely received in recesses 6, 8 of the shell side wall 9 and can be rotated on axes 10, 12 which are in a common horizontal plane (the plane of the drawing in Fig. 2) oppositely inclined bushes 14, 16 of an elastomeric material such as rubber, enforce. The bushings 14, 16 are firmly connected by vulcanizing, gluing or the like in corresponding through openings in the shell side wall 9 of the case and with the axes 10, 12. The opposite inclination of the axes 10, 12 with respect to the parallel axes a, b of the bushings, which are glued with their outer circumference into through holes 18, 20 of the shell side wall 9, is of the same size and is such that the rollers 2, 4 in the normal state, in which the rollers are not acted upon in the direction of another axis position by external forces, their edges run against the recesses 6 or 8 at points 22 or 24 and are therefore braked.

Die Achsen 14, 16 sind in das Kofferinnere hinein mit Verlängerungen 15,17 versehen, an denen ein insgesamt mit der Bezugszahl 26 bezeichneter Flaschenzug angreift. Die Zahl der Umlenkungen des gestrichelt dargestellten Zugbandes 28 dieses Flaschenzuges ist so bemessen (bei der vorliegenden Ausführung sechsmal, d.h. über drei Rollenpaare), daß die an einem Griff 30 vom Benutzer aufzubringende Zugkraft bei entsprechendem Zugweg (vgl. die ausgezogene Stellung des Zugbandes 28 nach Fig. 3) auf die durch die Buchsen 14, 16 ausgeübten Rückstellkräfte und den gesamten Weg 2x so abgestimmt ist, daß einerseits keine allzu hohe Zugkraft vom Benutzer an Griff 30 aufzubringen ist und andererseits das Zugband auch nicht zu lang aus der Koffervorderwand 11 herausgezogen werden muß (vgl. Fig. 3), um die Rollen 2,4 in Bremslösestellung zu bringen und den Koffer über das Zugband 28 durch freies Abwälzen der Rollen auf dem Untergrund zu bewegen.The axes 14, 16 are provided in the interior of the case with extensions 15, 17, on which a pulley system, generally designated by the reference number 26, engages. The number of deflections of the drawstring 28 of this pulley shown in dashed lines is dimensioned (six times in the present embodiment, that is to say via three pairs of rollers) such that the pulling force to be applied to a handle 30 by the user with a corresponding pull travel (cf. the extended position of the drawstring 28 according to Fig. 3) is adapted to the restoring forces exerted by the bushes 14, 16 and the entire path 2x so that, on the one hand, the user does not have to apply excessive pulling force to handle 30 and, on the other hand, the drawstring is not pulled out of the front wall 11 of the case too long must (see. Fig. 3) in order to bring the rollers 2.4 into the brake release position and to move the case over the drawstring 28 by rolling the rollers freely on the ground.

Fig. 3 und 4 zeigen die herausgezogene Position des Zugbandes, wobei die von dem Benutzer aufgebrachte Zugkraft unter Überwindung der Rückstellkraft der Buchsen 14, 16 die Rollen 2,4 in parallele Achsenlagen stellt, die mit den senkrecht zur Fahrtrichtung stehenden Achsen a bzw. b zusammenfallen, so daß die vordere Rolle 2 von der Stelle 22 an der Aussparung 6 und die hintere Rolle 4 von der Stelle 24 an der Aussparung 8 frei gekommen ist und beide Rollen in Fahrtrichtung frei abrollen können.3 and 4 show the pulled position of the drawstring, the tensile force applied by the user below Overcoming the restoring force of the bushes 14, 16, the rollers 2.4 in parallel axis positions, which coincide with the axes perpendicular to the direction of travel a and b, so that the front roller 2 from the point 22 at the recess 6 and the rear roller 4 has come free from the point 24 at the recess 8 and both rolls can roll freely in the direction of travel.

Läßt der Benutzer den Zuggriff 30 los, so stellt die elastische Rückstellkraft der Buchsen 14,16 die Achsen 10,12 selbständig wieder in die in den Fig. 1 und 2 dargestellt Position, in der sie an den Stellen 22, 24 der Aussparungen 6,8 gebremst sind, so daß der Rollenkoffer an einem freien Abrollen gehindert ist.If the user releases the pull handle 30, the elastic restoring force of the bushings 14, 16 automatically returns the axes 10, 12 to the position shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, in which they rest at the points 22, 24 of the recesses 6, 8 are braked so that the roller case is prevented from unrolling freely.

Bei der Ausgestaltung nach Fig. 5 ist das Zugband 28 nicht unmittelbar mit dem Griff 30 verbunden, sondern mit einer Umlenkrolle 32, die über eine Zugfeder 34 am unteren Ende der Koffervorderwand 11 gezogen ist. Um diese Umlenkrolle 32 ist ein zweites Zugband 36 umgelenkt, das mit seinem einen Ende innen an der den Handgriff 30 des Koffers aufweisenden Deckwand 15 befestigt ist und mit ihrem anderen Ende durch einen Schlitz 17 zum Zuggriff 30 geführt ist. Durch Ziehen an dem Zuggriff 30 wird die Rolle 32 gegen die Rückstellkraft der Zugfeder 34 und gegen die Rückstellkräfte der Buchsen 10, 12 nach oben gezogen, so daß auch in diesem Fall die Achsen 10, 12 parallel, d.h. in Bremslösestellung gemäß Fig. 4 ausgerichtet werden. Nach dem Loslassen des Griffes 30 unterstützt die Zugfeder 34 die elastischen Rückstellkräfte der Buchsen 14, 16 zum Bringen der Achsen 10, 12 in deren ursprüngliche Schräglage, d.h. in Bremsstellung der Rollen 2,4.5, the drawstring 28 is not connected directly to the handle 30, but to a deflection roller 32, which is pulled via a tension spring 34 at the lower end of the front wall 11 of the case. A second tension band 36 is deflected around this deflection roller 32, which is attached at one end to the inside of the cover wall 15 having the handle 30 of the case and is guided at its other end through a slot 17 to the tension handle 30. By pulling the pull handle 30, the roller 32 is pulled upwards against the restoring force of the tension spring 34 and against the restoring forces of the bushes 10, 12, so that in this case as well, the axes 10, 12 are parallel, i.e. 4 aligned in the brake release position. After releasing the handle 30, the tension spring 34 supports the elastic restoring forces of the bushes 14, 16 to bring the axes 10, 12 into their original inclined position, i.e. in the braking position of the rollers 2.4.

Die Rollen 2,4 können zusätzlich zu der in Fig. 2 dargestellten gegenläufigen Neigung in einer Horizontalebene eine gleichgerichtete Neigung in Vertikalebenen haben, um eine Federwirkung zum federnden Abstützen der Kofferlast gegenüber dem Untergrund zu bewirken.In addition to the opposite inclination shown in FIG. 2, the rollers 2, 4 can be in a horizontal plane have the same inclination in vertical planes in order to bring about a spring effect for resiliently supporting the luggage load against the ground.

Bei der Ausführung nach Fig. 6 läuft die Rolle 4 (und/oder die nicht dargestellte Rolle 2) nicht direkt an der Aussparung 8 (und/oder 6) sondern an einem darin austauschbar befestigten Bremsklotz 8' (und/oder 6') an, solange die Spannvorrichtung 26 nicht betätigt wird. Der Bremsklotz 8' kann aus einem Werkstoff bestehen, der zusammen mit dem Radwerkstoff des Rades 4 einen hohen Reibkoeffizienten hat. Außerdem kann der Bremsklotz 8' mit seiner Radkontaktfläche 11 genau an den Radumfang des Rades 4 angepaßt gestaltet sein, was ein Zusammenwirken von Radumfang und Radkontaktfläche 11 in einer großen, reproduzierbaren Fläche erlaubt.6, the roller 4 (and / or the roller 2, not shown) does not run directly on the recess 8 (and / or 6) but on a brake block 8 '(and / or 6') which is interchangeably fastened therein as long as the clamping device 26 is not actuated. The brake pad 8 'can consist of a material which, together with the wheel material of the wheel 4, has a high coefficient of friction. In addition, the brake pad 8 'can be designed with its wheel contact surface 11 precisely adapted to the wheel circumference of the wheel 4, which allows the wheel circumference and wheel contact surface 11 to interact in a large, reproducible area.
