Definitions

  • the invention relates to a for closing sausage casings, bags or the like.
  • certain plastic clip made of two parts, which the ruched into a braid Include sleeve end and can be locked together, a first part with one of side cheeks and adjoining them essentially vertically Transversely formed receiving space partially includes the braid and a second Part bridges the crossbars of the first part, and being the second part with its one transverse end at the corresponding transverse end of the first part a film hinge running essentially perpendicular to the side cheeks is articulated in the closed state with an approach a section of the engages under the first part and in the area of its other transverse end a locking member has that cooperates with a complementary locking element on the first part.
  • a plastic clip of this type known from US-A-4,275,485 has in Closing state is the shape of a (largely hollow) cylinder and is along one axially parallel plane divided. Against the recording room in the larger first part protrudes a rib in the second (cover) part, but only reach those arranged on it 'Spikes' the passage delimited on the top by the front side panels for the braid material. A shoulder on the rib facing the film hinge of the second part pivots into a recess when the clip is closed on the inside in the receiving space in the manner of a crosspiece between the Sidewall limiting cylindrical outer wall is provided and leads in this way to a hinge-close locking of the parts. Opposite engages a locking hook formed on the second part in a bolt opening in the cylindrical outer wall, which forms an opposite crossbar there.
  • the invention addresses the above-mentioned problems in that a parallel, but at a distance to the hinge near the crosspiece between this and the side hinge of the first part runs across the film hinge connects and one with a corresponding distance from the film hinge Arm on the second part in the closed state between the crossbar and the crossbar as well as under the crossbar and that locking steps part of a tongue on the other Crossbar, which attaches to the free edge of the crossbar, is outside the Stretched back and is resiliently biased away from the crosspiece.
  • the arm in cooperation with the crossbar, ensures both safe guidance of the two clip parts during the closing process as well - through the Positive locking when closed - high transmission of locking force in the hinge area.
  • the closed clip has because of the distance Locking of the receiving space despite a high locking force transferability sufficient elasticity against different and / or changing loads.
  • the receiving space is on the second essentially a covering part of the new plastic clip Form of a parallel to the side walls and in the recording room protruding rib formed so that in the locked state of the clip Braid is deflected wavy and is under closing pressure.
  • Such a clip construction is basically known from WO 93/10012.
  • One embodiment consists of two identical parts, which - by 180 ° twisted - to be locked together, another from two different ones Share, with an open space instead of a closed space on the floor Framework is provided.
  • Both embodiments of this known plastic clip perform their task of automatically different volumes of the To adjust the casing braid and, if necessary, one for sausage production Overpressure occurring inside the casing without subsequent Losing tightness loss by elastic yielding, but lets - without the connection of the two parts - the workability in fast working Sealing machines left a lot to be desired.
  • the first part 1 and the second part 2 of the one shown in FIG sufficiently hard, but still elastic plastic existing clip are through a film hinge 3 hinged together.
  • the first part 1 consists of essentially from a U-shaped wall made of parallel crossbars 6 and a bottom 7 is formed and as a receiving space 4 of the sleeve braid serves.
  • 6 side walls 5 attach to the crosspieces and are close the film hinge 3 by a cross member 8 and at the opposite end connected to each other by a traverse 9; the crossbeams 8, 9 extend parallel to the crossbars 6.
  • the second part 2 has a curved cover section 11, which on its one end merges into the film hinge 3, which on the other hand on the crossbar 8 of the first part.
  • the width of the lid section 11 is somewhat smaller than the clear width between the side cheeks 5 of the first part 1 (Fig. 2).
  • an arcuate arm 13 is formed, which in the closed state of the clip its concave inside 14 to the correspondingly curved surface 15 of the Traverse 8 creates.
  • a locking arm 16 molded on the inside with locking projections in the form of locking steps 17, 18th and 19 is provided.
  • the latching steps 17 - 19 via corresponding latching steps 20, 21 on a tongue 22 on the upper edge of the crossbar 6 adjacent to the crossbar 9 and is in the passage 23 extends between this crosspiece 6 and the crossmember 9.
  • the cross member 9 supports the locking arm 16 to the other side.
  • the first part 1 has one trough-shaped receiving space 4 with parallel side cheeks 5 and transversely running but also parallel crossbars 6 and a bottom 7.
  • the side cheeks 5 are at both ends over the Crossbars 6 extended and near the film hinge 3 by a crossbar 8 and connected to each other at the opposite end by a cross member 9; the crossbeams 8, 9 extend parallel to the transverse webs 6.
  • Area of the receiving space 4 are in the side walls 5 aligned, not formed to the bottom 7 depressions 10 into which at Closing process of the sleeve braid (not shown) is inserted.
  • the second part 2 is along the longitudinal center line of the lid portion 11 and Over a central part of its length, a rib 12 is formed, which is in the Closing state of the clip in the middle between the side walls 5 and parallel to this extends into the receiving space 4 and into the recesses 10 inserted sleeve braid is deflected into the receiving space 4 undulating as well as firmly clamped.
  • the arch-shaped arm 13 is, as it were, an extension the rib 12 is formed.
  • FIGS. 9 and 10 A magazine - for example rollable - is separated by Webs 25 were formed, which are formed during the production process of the clips can and the free transverse edge of a second part 2 (near the Locking arm 16) with the free edge of the first part 1 in the area of the crossmember 9 connect with each other.
