Definitions

  • the present invention relates to device for securing cargo, in accordance with the preamble of claim 1.
  • Motor vehicles normally comprise a luggage compartment intended for accomodating different types of luggage.
  • luggage compartments of private cars are concerned, problems may arise if luggage which is stored in the luggage compartment is poorly secured or is not secured at all. This may bring about that the luggage may move back and forth in the luggage compartment so that it is damaged, for instance in case of powerful applications of the brakes.
  • Loosely secured luggage may of course also imply risks for the occupants in the vehicle. For this reason, there is a need for devices for stable securing of the cargo in a luggage compartment.
  • a main object of the present invention is to solve the above-mentioned problem and to provide an improved device for securing goods in a luggage compartment of a vehicle, which device furthermore is of a simple construction and may also be handled in a simple fashion. This is achieved by a device of the kind mentioned in the introduction, the characterizing features of which are evident from the appended claim 1.
  • the invention preferably comprises a previously known retracting device of the ALR-type ( "Automatic locking retractor") with a belt which can be tightened and thereafter slackened, after which the belt is locked against extraction in the position of the belt after having been slackened. This provides effective securement of goods in a luggage compartment.
  • ALR-type "Automatic locking retractor”
  • the retracting device is provided with a locking unit which may be gripped and moved into a position where it may be locked to a locking tongue, whereby the belt is wrapped around the luggage to be secured.
  • a view from above of a device according to the present invention is shown, which according to a preferred embodiment is arranged in the luggage compartment of a vehicle of conventional type, preferably a private car.
  • the vehicle comprises a vehicle body 1 which is designed with a luggage compartment 2.
  • a retracting device 3 is arranged inside the luggage compartment 2 , preferably behind an inner lining panel.
  • the retracting device 3 is in itself of essentially the same type as normally is used for safety belts for the passengers of the vehicle and is arranged for the winding of a belt 4.
  • the retracting device 3 is spring- loaded so that the belt 4 is automatically wound in when it is not in use.
  • the belt 4 is preferably made from a textile weave or a corresponding material.
  • the retracting device 3 is, furthermore, in a known way (not shown) firmly anchored to the vehicle body 1.
  • a first locking member in the form of a locking unit 5 is arranged in the luggage compartment 2, i.e. easily available on the outside of the inner lining panel in the luggage compartment.
  • the locking unit 5 is firmly attached to the belt 4.
  • the inner panel of the luggage compartment 2 exhibits an inner panel with an (not shown) opening, through which the belt 4 may run.
  • the locking unit 5 is constructed essentially in the same way as previously known attachment means for safety belts, i.e. it comprises a retaining mechanism, not shown in any greater detail, and a release button 11.
  • the inner panel of the luggage compartment 2 is preferably designed with a recess 12 in which the locking unit 5 may adopt a rest position when it is not in use.
  • the recess 12 is preferably designed with guiding means (not shown) which bring the locking unit 5 into a retracted position in a recess 12 when it is not in use. In this way, there is no risk that the locking unit 5 unnecessarily protrudes into the luggage compartment 2.
  • each locking tongue 6 is arranged to interact with the locking unit 5 in such a way that the locking unit 5 may be pushed onto and locked to the locking tongue 6.
  • the locking unit 5 is provided with an opening (not shown) in the form of a slit or the like.
  • each locking tongue 6 is pivotally arranged around an axis 7. According to the embodiment, each locking tongue 6 is in addition resiliently suspended so that it strives to pivot towards a position where it is parallel to the inner panel of the luggage compartment 2. Each locking tongue 6 is preferably arranged in a recess 13 in the inner panel, which implies that it does not protrude so that luggage runs the risk of being damaged.
  • a piece of goods 8, which has been placed in the luggage compartment 2, may be secured by gripping the locking unit 5, pulling out the belt 4 and placing this around the piece of goods 8. Thereafter, the belt 4 is braced by means of locking the locking unit 5 into a locking tongue 6, conveniently the locking tongue 6 which has the most suitable position seen in the light of the dimension of the piece of goods 8.
  • reference numeral 9 denotes the locking unit in its clamped position
  • reference numeral 10 denotes the belt in its corresponding position.
  • one of the locking tongues 6' is arranged so that it may be pivoted around an axis of rotation 7', in a direction which is mainly horizontal, contrary to the turning direction of the other locking tongues 6, which in the main is vertical.
  • the locking tongue 6' is provided with an opening 14 which forms a loop. This makes it possible to secure different cargoes in the luggage compartment 2 by strapping cords, belts etc through this opening 14.
  • the other locking tongues 6 are also preferably designed in this way.
  • the retracting device 3 is of the type ALR ( "Automatic locking retractor"), which is a mechanism which in itself is previously known and therefore is not described here in greater detail. It operates on the principle that if the belt 4 is unwound to its full length and is thereafter slackened to desired length, the retracting device 3 will lock the belt 4 in this latter position, This implies that the belt 4 cannot be wound out even if it is pulled out slowly, which is the case with conventional safety belts. For this reason, the ALR-retracting device is suitable for the invention since it prevents cargo from slowly moving from its intended position in the luggage compartment 2.
  • ALR Automatic locking retractor
  • the invention is not limited to the embodiment described above, but may be varied within the scope of the subsequent claims.
  • the invention may, for instance, be applied in connection with different types of vehicles, e.g. private cars, lorries or buses.
  • the belt 4 may be constituted of a woven textile belt, but in principle also of a wire, cord, expandable net or the like.
  • the retracting device may either be a conventional retracting device, a retracting device of ALR-type or alternatively of ELR-type ("Emergency Locking Retractor"), which is one, in itself, known type of retracting device.

Abstract

L'invention porte sur un dispositif d'immobilisation d'un chargement (8) dans un compartiment à bagages (2) d'un véhicule. Ce dispositif comprend: un enrouleur (3) de ceinture ou de corde (4), fixé dans le compartiment à bagages (2); une première pièce de verrouillage (5) attachée à une extrémité de la ceinture ou de la corde (4), et une seconde pièce de verrouillage (6, 6') fixée dans le compartiment à bagages (2). La première pièce de verrouillage (5) et la seconde pièce de verrouillage (6, 6') sont disposées de sorte à s'engager l'une dans l'autre par verrouillage. L'invention est caractérisée par le fait que l'enrouleur (3) est du type ALR (rétracteur à verrouillage automatique). Simple à réaliser et efficace, ce dispositif permet d'immobiliser des marchandises dans un compartiment à bagages d'un véhicule.
