Abstract

When the locking mechanism is released, the shovel drops under force of gravity to lowered position. On the loading arms (1) claws (4) are pivotably fixed, which in the raised position engage behind a retainer (5) rotatably fixed to the vehicle body. The retainer has at least one cavity (12), in which can engage a nose formation limiting the opening of the claw. On rotation of the retainer into the unlocking direction, the displaced nose formation moves the claw so that it releases from the retainer. The two retainers are connected to each other in a non-rotary manner and are fixed on a common axis, which extends through the vehicle body. Each retainer is connected to a rotary grip (8).

Description

Die Erfindung betrifft ein Kinderspielzeug mit einer Einrichtung zum Entriegeln und Verriegeln eines schwenkbar gelagerten Betätigungsteils des Kinderspielzeugs, insbesondere ein Spielfahrzeug mit einer an zwei Armen gehaltenen Ladeschaufel, die in einer angehobenen Position an dem Fahrzeugkörper verriegelbar ist und sich bei Freigabe der Verriegelung infolge Schwerkraft in eine abgesenkte Position bewegt.The invention relates to a child's toy with a device for unlocking and locking a pivotally mounted actuating part of the child's toy, in particular a toy vehicle with a loading shovel held on two arms, which can be locked in a raised position on the vehicle body and, upon release of the lock due to gravity, into one lowered position moved.

Fahrzeuge dieser Art haben für kleine Kinder einen hohen Spielwert, da sie mit der Ladeschaufel beispielsweise Sand oder auch Schnee von einer Stelle zur anderen transportieren können. Dabei wird die Ladeschaufel in der Regel an der Stelle, an der sich beispielsweise ein Sandhaufen befindet, in eine abgesenkte Ladeposition bewegt, in der die Schaufel Sand aufnimmt, woraufhin die Ladeschaufel angehoben und in diesem Zustand verriegelt wird. Nun wird die Ladung zu ihrem Bestimmungsort transportiert, wo sie mittels eines die Ladeschaufel in deren angehobener Position verschwenkenden Kippmechanismus ausgeschüttet wird.Vehicles of this type are very playful for small children because they can use the loading shovel to transport sand or snow from one place to another, for example. The loading shovel is usually moved to a lowered loading position at the point where, for example, a pile of sand is located, in which the shovel picks up sand, whereupon the loading shovel is raised and locked in this state. Now the load is transported to its destination, where it is released by means of a tilting mechanism that pivots the loading shovel in its raised position.

Die vorliegende Erfindung betrifft insbesondere die Einrichtung, mit der die Ladeschaufel bzw. die die Ladeschaufel haltenden Arme in der angehobenen Position verriegelt und bei Bedarf zum Absenken entriegelt wird.The present invention relates in particular to the device with which the loading shovel or the arms holding the loading shovel are locked in the raised position and unlocked for lowering if necessary.

Dabei ist die Erfindung auch auf das Verriegeln und Entriegeln anderer schwenkbar gelagerter Betätigungselemente von Kinderspielzeugen anwendbar, beispielsweise stationäre Kranarme oder Ladeschaufelarme, die wahlweise in einer angehobenen Position verriegelt oder aus dieser Position freigegeben werden können. Die Erfindung wird aber nachfolgend durchgehend anhand eines Kinderspielfahrzeugs mit einer Ladeschaufel beschrieben.The invention is also applicable to the locking and unlocking of other pivotally mounted actuating elements of children's toys, for example stationary crane arms or loading bucket arms, which can optionally be locked in a raised position or released from this position. However, the invention is described below continuously using a children's play vehicle with a loading shovel.

Es sind Kinderspielfahrzeuge dieser Art bekannt, bei denen die beiden die Ladeschaufeln haltenden Arme seitlich an dem Fahrzeugkörper angelenkt und mit zwei Haken verriegelbar sind, die seitlich von dem Fahrzeugkörper abstehende Zapfen hintergreifen. Hierbei besteht ein Problem darin, daß zum Freigeben der Verriegelung der Ladeschaufel die Haken beider Arme gleichzeitig aus den Zapfen ausgerückt werden müssen, daß der Spielperson -im allgemeinen ein kleines Kinder- hierfür aber nur eine Hand zur Verfügung steht, während die andere Hand einen Handgriff halten muß, um die freigegebene Ladeschaufel kontrolliert absenken zu können. Dieses Problem ist bisher dadurch gelöst, daß die beiden Haken über einen quer über den Fahrzeugkörper verlaufenden Bügel miteinander verbunden sind, der zum Lösen der Verriegelung nach vorne gedrückt wird und dabei die beiden Haken anhebt. Dies ist ein verhältnismäßig aufwendiger Mechanismus, der zudem nicht zuverlässig genug wirkt.Children's play vehicles of this type are known in which the two arms holding the loading shovels are articulated laterally on the vehicle body and can be locked with two hooks which engage behind pins projecting laterally from the vehicle body. Here there is a problem that to release the locking of the loading shovel the hooks of both arms must be disengaged from the pegs at the same time, but that the player - generally a small child - has only one hand available for this purpose, while the other hand has a handle must hold in order to be able to lower the released loading shovel in a controlled manner. This problem has so far been solved in that the two hooks are connected to one another via a bracket running transversely across the vehicle body, which is pressed forward to release the lock and thereby raises the two hooks. This is a relatively complex mechanism that also does not work reliably enough.

Der vorliegenden Erfindung liegt die Aufgabe zugrunde, eine einfachere Einrichtung zum Entriegeln und Verriegeln eines schwenkbar gelagerten Betätigungsteils für ein Kinderspielzeug, insbesondere für die Ladeschaufel eines Spielfahrzeugs anzugeben, die bequem mit einer Hand zu bedienen ist und mit großer Zuverlässigkeit sowohl die Verriegelung freigibt als auch eine erneute Verriegelung vornimmt.The present invention has for its object to provide a simpler device for unlocking and locking a pivotally mounted actuating part for a children's toy, in particular for the loading shovel of a toy vehicle, which is easy to use with one hand and large Reliability both releases the lock and performs a new lock.

Diese Aufgabe wird erfindungsgemäß durch die Merkmale des Patentanspruchs 1 gelöst.This object is achieved by the features of claim 1.

Vorteilhafte Weiterbildungen der Erfindung sind in den Unteransprüchen gekennzeichnet.Advantageous developments of the invention are characterized in the subclaims.

Gemäß der vorliegenden Erfindung ist an den beiden Armen jeweils eine Klaue schwenkbar befestigt, die in der angehobenen Position der Arme eine seitlich von dem Fahrzeugkörper vorstehende, bevorzugt stabförmige Halterung hintergreift. Die beiden seitlichen Halterungen sind gemeinsam drehbar an dem Fahrzeugkörper befestigt und haben jeweils wenigstens eine, vorzugsweise mehrere in Umfangsrichtung verteilte Vertiefungen, in die eine die Öffnung jeder Klaue begrenzende Nase eingreifen kann. Beim Drehen einer Halterung, bei der die andere Halterung automatisch mitgedreht wird, werden die in die Vertiefungen eingreifenden Nasen der Klauen so weit mitgenommen, daß die Klauen außer Eingriff mit der Halterung geraten, so daß die Arme mit der Ladeschaufel -infolge Schwerkraft- herabfallen können, wobei diese Bewegung aber zweckmäßigerweise an einem Haltegriff geführt wird, um ein Aufprallen der Ladeschaufel auf den Boden zu vermeiden.According to the present invention, a claw is pivotally attached to each of the two arms, which in the raised position of the arms engages behind a preferably rod-shaped holder which projects laterally from the vehicle body. The two side brackets are jointly rotatably attached to the vehicle body and each have at least one, preferably a plurality of circumferentially distributed recesses into which a lug delimiting the opening of each claw can engage. When rotating a holder, in which the other holder is automatically rotated, the lugs of the claws engaging in the recesses are taken along so far that the claws disengage from the holder, so that the arms can fall with the loading shovel as a result of gravity , but this movement is expediently carried out on a handle to avoid impacting the loading shovel on the ground.

Dadurch, daß die beidseitig überstehenden, bevorzugt stabartigen Halterungen drehfest miteinander verbunden sind, kann die Verriegelung durch Drehen einer einzigen, ausgewählten Halterung gelöst werden, wozu am Kopfende der beiden Halterungen zweckmäßigerweise Drehgriffe angebracht sind. Die Spielperson kann demnach entweder mit der rechten oder der linken Hand die Verriegelung lösen, während sie mit der anderen Hand an dem bereits oben erwähnten Handgriff die freigegebene Ladeschaufel kontrolliert zur Erde herabsinken läßt.Due to the fact that the protruding, preferably rod-like holders project on both sides in a rotationally fixed manner, the locking can be released by rotating a single, selected holder, for which purpose rotary handles are expediently attached to the head end of the two holders. The player can therefore either release the lock with the right or left hand, while with the other hand on the handle mentioned above, the released loading shovel descends to the ground in a controlled manner.

Der Freigabevorgang wird demnach durch ein bewußtes Drehen des Drehgriffs ausgelöst, wodurch weitestgehend verhindert ist, daß der Auslösevorgang ungewollt hervorgerufen wird, was anderenfalls mit einer gewissen Unfallgefahr verbunden wäre.The release process is therefore triggered by a deliberate turning of the rotary handle, which largely prevents the triggering process from being caused unintentionally, which would otherwise be associated with a certain risk of an accident.

Bei der Vertiefung bzw. den Vertiefungen der Halterungen kann es sich um Einsenkungen handeln, z.B. um flach eingeformte Nuten, oder es können an der Außenseite der stabförmigen Halterung Rippen angeformt sein, zwischen denen jeweils eine Vertiefung verbleibt, in die die Nase der Klaue eingreift, die beim Drehen der Halterung derart mitgeführt wird, daß sich die Halterung praktisch aus der bevorzugt etwa C-förmigen Innenkontur der Klaue herausdreht.The recess or recesses of the holders can be depressions, e.g. around flat-shaped grooves, or it can be formed on the outside of the rod-shaped holder ribs, between each of which a recess remains, into which the nose of the claw engages, which is carried along when the holder is rotated in such a way that the holder is practically preferred unscrews approximately C-shaped inner contour of the claw.

Es versteht sich, daß die Anordnung bevorzugt so getroffen ist, daß die Klaue die stiftartige Halterung jeweils übergreift, so daß der Eingriff allein durch Schwerkraft aufrecht erhalten wird. Eine umgekehrte Anordnung käme dann in Betracht, wenn anstelle der Schwerkraft eine entsprechende Federkraft eingesetzt würde.It is understood that the arrangement is preferably made such that the claw engages over the pin-like holder, so that the engagement is maintained solely by gravity. A reverse arrangement would be considered if a corresponding spring force was used instead of gravity.

Wie bereits erwähnt, sind die beiden seitlich vorstehenden Halterungen drehfest miteinander verbunden, d.h. es kann sich bei ihnen um eine einstückige Achse handeln. Bevorzugt ist jedoch, daß die beiden mit Vertiefungen bzw. Einsenkungen versehenen Halterungen auf einer gemeinsamen Achse befestigt sind, die sich durch den Fahrzeugkörper erstreckt. Die Achse besteht aus Stabilitätsgründen zweckmäßigerweise aus Metall, während die Halterungen aus Kunststoff bestehen können und jeweils eine längliche Hülse aufweisen können, die auf die seitlichen Enden der Achse aufgeschoben werden und einstückig in die bereits erwähnten Drehgriffe übergehen können, die an ihrem Rand zweckmäßigerweise gerändelt sind oder eine Wellenkontur haben, um einem Kind das Drehen zu erleichtern. Die Metallachse kann langgestreckte Rippen aufweisen, die in entsprechend geformte Nuten der Halterung eingreifen, wodurch gewährleistet ist, daß die beiden Halterungen so aufeinander ausgerichtet sind und bleiben, daß die in Längsrichtung verlaufenden Vertiefungen oder Einsenkungen exakt miteinander fluchten. Hierdurch ist ein einwandfreier, gleichzeitiger Auslösevorgang beider Klauen gewährleistet.As already mentioned, the two laterally projecting brackets are connected to one another in a rotationally fixed manner, ie they can be a one-piece axle. However, it is preferred that the two brackets provided with depressions or depressions are fastened on a common axis which extends through the vehicle body. For reasons of stability, the axis is expediently made of metal, while the brackets can be made of plastic and each have an elongated sleeve which can be pushed onto the lateral ends of the axis and can be integrated into the rotary handles already mentioned, which are expediently knurled at their edges or have a wave contour to make it easier for a child to turn. The metal axis can have elongated ribs, which in correspondingly shaped grooves engage the bracket, which ensures that the two brackets are aligned and remain so that the longitudinal recesses or depressions are exactly aligned. This ensures a correct, simultaneous triggering of both claws.

Damit der Verriegelungsvorgang mit derselben Zuverlässigkeit erfolgt wie das Entriegeln, haben die Klauen jeweils an der zur Nase führenden Außenseite eine gekrümmte Führungsfläche, die beim Zurückschwenken der Ladeschaufel bzw. der damit verbundenen Arme in Richtung der angehobenen Verriegelungsposition auf die Halterung auftrifft und die so geformt ist, daß sie glatt an der Halterung entlang gleitet und dabei die Klaue so nach oben verschwenkt, daß die Halterung über die Nase hinweg in den Bereich der Öffnung der Klaue gerät. Hierbei trifft die Halterung auf einen Anschlag, der die Öffnung der Klaue an der der Nase gegenüberliegenden Seite begrenzt und der im Verhältnis zur Schwenkachse der Klaue eine solche Lage hat, daß die Klaue hierbei in Schließrichtung verschwenkt wird, wobei sie die Halterung hintergreift. Hierdurch wird die Anordnung aus Ladeschaufel und Armen zwangsweise verriegelt, ohne daß hierzu ein zusätzlicher Handgriff des Kindes notwendig wäre, was ebenfalls wichtig ist, um eine Verletzungsgefahr auszuschließen.So that the locking process takes place with the same reliability as the unlocking, the claws each have a curved guide surface on the outside leading to the nose, which, when the loading shovel or the arms connected to it swings back in the direction of the raised locking position, strikes the holder and is shaped in this way that it slides smoothly along the holder and thereby pivots the claw upwards so that the holder gets over the nose into the area of the opening of the claw. Here, the holder meets a stop which limits the opening of the claw on the side opposite the nose and which has such a position in relation to the pivot axis of the claw that the claw is pivoted in the closing direction, engaging behind the holder. As a result, the arrangement of the loading shovel and arms is forcibly locked without the need for an additional handle by the child, which is also important in order to exclude the risk of injury.

Beim Verschwenken in die Verriegelungsposition wird demnach zunächst die Klaue angehoben, während ihre Führungsfläche über die Halterung gleitet, bis die Halterung in den Öffnungsbereich der Klaue gerät und dort auf den Anschlag der Klaue auftrifft, wodurch die Klaue umgehend in Gegenrichtung verschwenkt wird, da sich die Kraftwirkungslinie unter der Schwenkachse der Klaue befindet. Da die Hülse nun die stiftförmige Halterung hintergreift und auch untergreift, ist die Ladeschaufel absolut sicher in der angehobenen Position verriegelt.When pivoting into the locking position, the claw is first raised while its guide surface slides over the holder until the holder gets into the opening area of the claw and hits the stop of the claw there, whereby the claw is swiveled immediately in the opposite direction, since the Line of action is located under the swivel axis of the claw. Since the sleeve now grips behind and also grips under the pin-shaped holder, the loading shovel is locked securely in the raised position.

Der Schwenkwinkel der Klaue wird durch Anschläge begrenzt und ist verhältnismäßig klein, da die Klaue nur eine geringe Bewegbarkeit zum Entriegeln und Verriegeln braucht. Wichtig ist, daß die Klaue mit ihrer Führungsfläche auf die stabförmige Halterung auftrifft, an der sie glatt über die Halterung gleitet, während sie entsprechend verschwenkt wird.The swivel angle of the claw is limited by stops and is relatively small, since the claw only needs little mobility for unlocking and locking. It is important that the claw meets with its guide surface on the rod-shaped holder, on which it slides smoothly over the holder while it is pivoted accordingly.

Die beiden Klauen befinden sich zweckmäßigerweise an der Rückseite der bevorzugt L-förmig abgewinkelten Haltearme, und zwar etwa in der Verlängerung des zur Ladeschaufel führenden langen Schenkels der Haltearme. Diese Haltearme schließen in der Verriegelungsposition einen Winkel von etwa 45° mit der Horizontalen ein, ohne daß die Erfindung natürlich hierauf beschränkt ist.The two claws are expediently located on the back of the preferably L-shaped angled holding arms, approximately in the extension of the long leg of the holding arms leading to the loading shovel. In the locking position, these holding arms form an angle of approximately 45 ° with the horizontal, without, of course, the invention being restricted to this.

Die Schwenkachse der Haltearme befindet sich unterhalb der Schwenkachse der Klauen und der Drehachse der Halterungen, wobei die letztere sich unterhalb der Schwenkachse der Klauen befindet.The pivot axis of the holding arms is below the pivot axis of the claws and the axis of rotation of the brackets, the latter being below the pivot axis of the claws.

Der erfindungsgemäße Mechanismus zum Entriegeln und Verriegeln eines schwenkbar gelagerten Betätigungsteils ist sehr einfach und robust ausgebildet und auch von kleinen Kindern sehr leicht zu bedienen. Er zeichnet sich darüberhinaus durch große Zuverlässigkeit sowohl beim Entriegeln als auch beim Verriegeln aus.The mechanism according to the invention for unlocking and locking a pivotably mounted actuating part is of very simple and robust design and is also very easy to use for small children. It is also characterized by great reliability both when unlocking and when locking.

Die Klauen 4 sind begrenzt schwenkbar angebracht, und zwar so, daß die Klauen 4 aus der in Figur 2 dargestellten Lage, in der sie mit einer äußeren Führungsfläche 5 beim Hochschwenken der Haltearme 1 auf die Halterung auflaufen, hierbei so nach oben verschwenken können, daß die Halterung 5 in den Innenraum der Klaue 4 eintritt, was weiter unten noch näher beschrieben wird.In the area of the bend, a claw 4 is attached to each of the L-shaped holding arms 1, which can grip around or reach behind a rod-shaped holder in order to lock the holding arms 1 in their raised position. The claws 4 are pivoted to a limited extent, in such a way that the claws 4 can pivot upward from the position shown in FIG. 2, in which they run onto the holder with an outer guide surface 5 when the holding arms 1 are pivoted upward the bracket 5 enters the interior of the claw 4, which will be described in more detail below.

Die beidseitig vorstehenden Halterungen bestehen, wie die Fig. 3 und 4 zeigen, aus einer durch den Motorblock des Spielfahrzeugs verlaufenden Metallachse 6, auf die beidseitig eine Hülse 7 aufgeschoben ist, die einstückig mit einem Drehgriff 8 verbunden ist. Die Hülse 7 und der Drehgriff 8 bestehen aus Kunststoff.The brackets projecting on both sides, as shown in FIGS. 3 and 4, consist of a metal axis 6 which runs through the engine block of the toy vehicle and onto which a sleeve 7 is pushed, which is connected in one piece to a rotary handle 8. The sleeve 7 and the rotary handle 8 are made of plastic.

Die Metallachse 6 hat an diametral gegenüberliegenden Seiten angeformte Längsrippen 9, die der drehfesten Verbindung mit der Hülse 7 und dem Drehgriff 8 dienen. Die Hülse 7 hat einen aufgeschnittenen Endbereich 10, durch dessen gegenüberliegende Schlitze 11 beim Zusammensetzen der Bestandteile der Halterung die Rippen 9 hindurchtreten. Mit den Schlitzen 11 fluchten entsprechend geformte Nuten in der Innenwand der Hülse 7, die die Rippen 9 aufnehmen.The metal axis 6 has integrally formed longitudinal ribs 9 on diametrically opposite sides, which serve for the rotationally fixed connection with the sleeve 7 and the rotary handle 8. The sleeve 7 has a cut-open end region 10, through the opposite slots 11 of which the ribs 9 pass when the components of the holder are assembled. Correspondingly shaped grooves are aligned with the slots 11 in the inner wall of the sleeve 7 and accommodate the ribs 9.

Die Hülsen 7 haben an der Außenseite über den Umfang verteilte, längliche Einsenkungen 12 in einer flachen Wannenform, wie insbesondere Fig. 4B zeigt, die der Freigabe der Verriegelung der Klauen 4 dienen, wie weiter unten noch beschrieben wird. Wichtig ist, daß im montierten Zustand der Achse 6 mit den beiden Hülsen 7 die einander gegenüberliegenden Einsenkungen 12 miteinander fluchten, was durch die Längsrippen 9 und die zugehörigen Schlitze 11 sowie anschließenden Nuten gewährleistet ist. Es versteht sich, daß die Hülsen 7 mit dem Drehgriff 8 auf geeignete Weise an der Metallachse 6 befestigt sind, so daß sie nicht unbeabsichtigt von der Achse abgezogen werden können.The sleeves 7 have, on the outside, distributed over the circumference, elongated depressions 12 in a flat trough shape, as shown in particular in FIG. 4B, which serve to release the locking of the claws 4, as will be described further below. It is important that in the assembled state of the axis 6 with the two sleeves 7, the opposing depressions 12 are aligned with one another, which is ensured by the longitudinal ribs 9 and the associated slots 11 and subsequent grooves. It is understood that the sleeves 7 are fastened to the metal axis 6 in a suitable manner with the rotary handle 8, so that they cannot be unintentionally removed from the axis.

Die in den Figuren 5A und 5B in Einzelheiten dargestellten Klauen 4 haben eine Falle 13, deren Innenkontur etwa eine C-Form hat. Die Eintrittsöffnung 14 in die Falle 13 ist an dem von dem Haltearm 1 abgewandten Ende von einer Nase 15 und an dem gegenüberliegenden Ende von einem Anschlag 16 begrenzt. An der Außenseite haben die Klauen 4 eine gebogene Führungsfläche 20, die sich bis zu der Nase 15 erstreckt.The claws 4 shown in detail in FIGS. 5A and 5B have a trap 13, the inner contour of which is approximately C-shaped. The entry opening 14 into the trap 13 is delimited by a nose 15 at the end facing away from the holding arm 1 and by a stop 16 at the opposite end. On the outside, the claws 4 have a curved guide surface 20 which extends up to the nose 15.

Wenn die Haltearme 1 aus der in Fig. 2 dargestellten Position weiter nach oben verschwenkt werden, gleiten die Führungsflächen 20 der Klauen 4 über die Hülsen 7, während die Klauen 4 nach oben verschwenkt werden, bis die Hülsen 7 in den Bereich der Eintrittsöffnung 14 der Falle 13 geraten. Wenn die Klauen 4 schließlich die Hülsen 7 übergreifen, stoßen die Anschläge 16 gegen die Hülsen 7, wodurch die Klauen 4 in der Darstellung der Fig. 2 im Uhrzeigersinn verschwenkt werden, so daß sie die Hülsen 7 hintergreifen. In dieser Lage sind die Haltearme 1 mit der Ladeschaufel in der angehobenen Position zuverlässig verriegelt.If the holding arms 1 are pivoted further upwards from the position shown in FIG. 2, the guide surfaces 20 of the claws 4 slide over the sleeves 7, while the claws 4 are pivoted upwards, until the sleeves 7 reach the area of the inlet opening 14 Trap 13 caught. When the claws 4 finally overlap the sleeves 7, the stops 16 abut the sleeves 7, as a result of which the claws 4 are pivoted clockwise in the illustration in FIG. 2, so that they engage behind the sleeves 7. In this position, the holding arms 1 are reliably locked with the loading shovel in the raised position.

In diesem verriegelten Zustand liegen die Nasen 15 infolge des Drehmoments der Haltearme an den Hülsen 7 an. Wenn einer der beiden Drehgriffe 8 in der Darstellung der Fig. 2 im Gegenuhrzeigersinn gedreht wird, werden bei dieser Bewegung die Klauen 4 nach oben verschwenkt, da ihre Nasen 15 jeweils in eine der länglichen Vertiefungen bzw. Einsenkungen 12 eingreifen. Die Form der Nasen 15 und der Einsenkungen 12 ist so aufeinander abgestimmt, daß die Nasen 15 soweit bei der Drehung mitgenommen werden, bis sich die Hülsen 7 aus dem Innenraum der Klauen 4 herausgedreht haben. Hiermit ist die Verriegelung der Haltearme 1 freigegeben, so daß diese mit der Ladeschaufel herabfallen, wenn die Spielperson diese Bewegung nicht mit dem hierzu vorgesehenen Handgriff 3 oder 17 kontrolliert steuern würde.In this locked state, the lugs 15 rest against the sleeves 7 due to the torque of the holding arms. If one of the two rotary handles 8 is rotated counterclockwise in the illustration in FIG. 2, the claws 4 are pivoted upwards during this movement, since their lugs 15 each engage in one of the elongated depressions or depressions 12. The shape of the lugs 15 and the depressions 12 is coordinated with one another in such a way that the lugs 15 are carried along during the rotation until the sleeves 7 have turned out of the interior of the claws 4. The locking of the holding arms 1 is hereby released, so that they fall down with the loading shovel if the player would not control this movement in a controlled manner with the handle 3 or 17 provided for this purpose.

An den Klauen 4 ist jeweils ein Gewichtskörper 19 angeformt, der zusätzlich gewährleistet, daß die Klauen 4 im unbelasteten Zustand nach unten verschwenkt bleiben.A weight body 19 is molded onto each of the claws 4, which additionally ensures that the claws 4 remain pivoted downward in the unloaded state.

Fig. 2 läßt erkennen, daß die Schwenkachse 2 des Haltearms unterhalb der Drehachse 18 des Drehgriffs 8 angeordnet ist, wobei sich die letztere unterhalb der Schwenkachse 21 der Klauen 4 befindet.Fig. 2 shows that the pivot axis 2 of the holding arm is arranged below the axis of rotation 18 of the rotary handle 8, the latter being below the pivot axis 21 of the claws 4.
