Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a hand winch according to the preamble of claim 1.
  • a winch with a hand crank is known for example from DE-OS-1 481 900. This before all winch intended for abseiling has a rotatable Roll with a groove in which several turns of one Rope stocks are arranged. A hydraulic one Energy converter slows down the rotation speed of the roller Abseiling. Using a hand crank, a suitable one Translation link are driven to deal with the Abseil device also to be able to wind up.
  • a rotatably mounted is included a grooved drive roller and an equal size Leading role of a winch. The extent of both There is a rope on rollers. By pulling the rope the drive roller can be moved towards the guide roller.
  • EP 0 110 250 A2 describes a drive device for a Traction rope shown, with two pulleys on one Weighing beams are arranged with respect to a Drive roller fastened by two in a bearing frame Pin pivotable and only for purposes of one Presetting is also slidable. Operational the tensile forces on the rope as well as the result conditioned friction forces between the pull rope and the Deflection rollers and the one also arranged on the bearing frame Adjust the drive roller by moving the Bearing frame around the fixed axis of the drive roller and to other of the weighing beams within the storage frame around the The axis of its spigot swings.
  • Ascending / descending devices e.g. according to the European Applicant's patent publication EP-A-0 480 117 preferably used to carry people or loads on one Pulling up or lowering the rope.
  • preferred Areas of application are rescue services or in general mobile use of these devices.
  • the up / down ropes have in Essentially the function of reducing the restraining force when abseiling in connection with a protection against uncontrolled falling of the person hanging on the rope or Load.
  • the object of the present invention is therefore a Specify device that pulling on a pull rope relieved and easy on the pull side of an up / down rope device can engage with the pull rope.
  • Such a device is in the form of a winch in the Claim 1 specified. Name the other claims preferred embodiments of the winch according to the invention.
  • the winch according to the invention is accordingly characterized from that the pull rope over a first guide role by one with a circumferential groove provided driving roller around and is ultimately led by a second leadership role.
  • the drive roller is slidably mounted so that it pressed against the guide rollers while pulling the rope becomes.
  • the tread of the first guide roller presses the rope into the cut of the drive roller into it, whereby at least a frictional connection of the rope with the driving roller arises.
  • a rotating movement of the drive roller then leads to a corresponding movement on the pull rope.
  • the drive roller has one Hand crank, a motor drive for example however, a geared motor is also conceivable.
  • the circumferential groove in the drive roller is preferably conical tapering, d. H. with a substantially V-shaped Cross section, executed and additionally with an uneven Surface equipped to ensure a safe hand Pinch the rope and cause by the shape the surface also has a positive locking component between rope and traction roller.
  • the guide rollers are preferably arranged so that a looping of the drive roller of at least 180 ° and preferably gives significantly more.
  • a known handle 3 which with a Clamping device 4 is provided.
  • the clamping device 4 prevents the rope 2 from running back serve, for example, to pull a rope against the hand Pull the clamping direction of the clamping device.
  • the handle has holes 5 with which it is placed on bolt 6 can be.
  • the bolts 6 are firmly on the Base plate 7 of the hand winch 8.
  • the rope 2 runs from Handle 3 from under a guide plate 9, over a second guide roller 10 around the drive roller 11 and finally via the first, output side Guide roller 12 from where the free end 13 of the rope is free hangs.
  • the guide rollers 10 and 12 can be simple, on axes 14th freely rotating castors with a flat tread. However, the second guide roller 10 with one is preferred concave tread, as shown in Figure 4. Around the guidance of the rope 2 to the first guide roller 12 To improve, there is still a guide tongue 15.
  • the guide rollers 10, 12 are as close as possible to one another arranged so that one hand as possible extensive wrapping of the drive roller 11 by the loop-shaped rope section 25 results without the in opposite directions between the guide rollers 10, 12 continuous rope sections 2, 13 hinder each other.
  • the Wrapping is the angular range in which the Rope section 25 bears firmly against the drive roller 11 when this is pressed against the guide rollers 10, 12.
  • the drive roller 11 is easily rotatable on an axle stub 18 stored, which is located on the slider 19.
  • the Slider 19 is slidable in the incision 20 in the Base plate 7 arranged.
  • a fuse 21 is present, in the present case Screw with a washer that covers the opening of the Incision 20 narrowed.
  • the Crank 16 On the drive roller 11 is the Crank 16 with rotatably mounted handle 17 attached.
  • FIG. 2 in contrast to FIG. 1, the state of the Driving roller 11 during the operation of the hand winch 8 shown: Under the pull of the rope 2, the Drive roller 11 moved to the guide rollers 10, 12, wherein their treads, especially that of the first Guide roller 12, the rope 2, 25 deep in the groove 22nd Push. As a result, the rope 2, 25 is coupled with the drive roller 11, which with increasing train on Rope 2 becomes even stronger. Initially, when the train is still picked up by the clamping device 4, too by pulling the free end 13 to press the drive roller 11 to the guide rollers 10, 12 are effected.
  • the groove 22 V-shaped in cross section is the groove 22 V-shaped in cross section.
  • FIG. 3 finally shows the preferred Fastening device 30, which is at the back of the Base plate 7 is attached. It essentially exists from a clamping device with a clamping screw 31. This allows the hand winch to be attached to a profile tube, for example 32 of a tripod are attached, at the top of which Rope / descender is attached, for example when installing over a shaft opening.
  • the hand crank can be adjustable in length.
  • the Opening of the incision 20 can be made completely by a screwed or otherwise secured plate or similar be completely closed.
