Die vorliegende Erfindung betrifft einen Anhänger nach dem Oberbegriff von Anspruch 1.The present invention relates to a trailer according to the Preamble of claim 1.

Anhänger dieser Art sind in Dokument US-A-4 836 590 beschrieben und dienen beispielsweise als Schlüsselanhänger, als Preis-, Markenauszeichnungs-, Adressträger usw. an Kleidungsstücken, Koffern, Mappen, Taschen, Schirmen, Sportartikeln, Fotoapparaten, Schuhen usw., wobei jeweils das Gehäuse als Informationsträger mit Kennzeichnungs-, Identifikationsaussagen oder dergleichen versehen ist, die auf die Flächen des Gehäuses aufgeklebt, aufgedruckt, geprägt oder eingraviert sind.Pendants of this type are described in document US-A-4 836 590 and serve, for example, as Key chain, as price, branding, Address labels etc. on clothing, suitcases, folders, Bags, umbrellas, sporting goods, cameras, shoes etc., each with the housing as an information carrier Identification, identification statements or the like is provided, which is glued to the surfaces of the housing, are printed, embossed or engraved.

So ist beispielsweise aus CH 650 349 ein solcher Anhänger bekannt, welcher sich leicht und billig herstellen lässt und aus wenigen Teilen aufgebaut ist. Der Schliessbügel dieses Anhängers ist gleichzeitig als im Anhängergehäuse verschiebbares Schieberteil ausgebildet und weist in entsprechende Ausnehmungen des Anhängergehäuses federnd einrastbare Klinkenelemente auf. Der Schliessbügel selbst ist in der offenen Position ausbiegbar, beispielsweise zur Aufnahme von Schlüsseln oder dergleichen, in der geschlossenen Position bildet er zusammen mit der Stirnseite des Anhängergehäuses eine geschlossene Öse, in welcher beispielsweise der Schlüssel sicher gehalten bleibt. Die Schliessposition ist von Aussen lösbar durch Druck auf das Klinkenelement gegen die Einrastrichtung, wofür eine entsprechend von aussen zugängliche Öffnung im Anhängergehäuse vorgesehen ist. For example, such a trailer is from CH 650 349 known, which can be produced easily and cheaply and is made up of a few parts. The closing bracket this trailer is at the same time as in the trailer housing slidable slide member formed and has in corresponding recesses of the trailer housing resilient latchable latch elements. The closing bracket itself can be bent out in the open position, e.g. for Inclusion of keys or the like in the closed position together with the Front of the trailer housing has a closed eyelet, in which, for example, kept the key secure remains. The closing position can be released from the outside Pressure on the latch element against the snap-in direction, for which a correspondingly accessible opening in the Trailer housing is provided.

Für bestimmte Anwendungsbereiche sollen derartige Anhänger nach einmaligem Schliessen nun nicht mehr zerstörungsfrei geöffnet werden können. Hierfür eignet sich ein Anhänger der oben beschriebenen Gattung nur bedingt, da er in seiner ursprünglich vorgesehenen Form von aussen entriegelbar ist. Auch ein einfaches Abdecken der Entriegelungsabdeckung ist kein zuverlässiger Schutz vor einer Öffnungsmanipulation, welche anschliessend kaum oder zumindestens nicht offensichtlich feststellbar ist.Such trailers are intended for certain areas of application after closing once, it is no longer non-destructive can be opened. A trailer is suitable for this of the genus described above only conditionally since it is in its originally intended form is unlockable from the outside. It is also easy to cover the unlocking cover no reliable protection against tampering, which subsequently hardly or at least not is obviously noticeable.

Die Aufgabe der vorliegenden Erfindung bestand nun darin, einen Anhänger der genannten Art mit einfachem Aufbau und einfacher Bedienbarkeit für einen einmaligen Verschluss zu schaffen, welcher nach dem Schliessvorgang nicht mehr zerstörungsfrei zu öffnen ist, wobei auch eine versuchte Öffnungsmanipulation offensichtlich feststellbar sein soll.The object of the present invention was now to a trailer of the type mentioned with a simple structure and Ease of use for a one-time closure too create which no longer after the closing process can be opened non-destructively, whereby one also tried Manipulation of the opening should be evident.

Diese Aufgabe wird erfindungsgemäss durch die kennzeichnenden Merkmale von Anspruch 1 gelöst. Die erfindungsgemässe Lösung zeichnet sich insbesondere durch den einfachen Aufbau und die einfache Bedienbarkeit bei zuverlässiger Verriegelung aus. Wenn der Anhänger einmal geschlossen worden ist, so lässt er sich nicht mehr zerstörungsfrei öffnen. Die erfindungsgemässe Ausgestaltung des Anhängers hat nun den besonderen Vorteil, dass auch der Versuch des Öffnens des Anhängers durch die aufgebrochene Sollbruchstelle klar und nicht mehr rückgängigmachbar angezeigt wird. Damit können bereits Manipulationen am Anhänger festgestellt werden, ohne dass dieser vollständig zerstört worden wäre. This object is achieved by the characterizing features of claim 1 solved. The The solution according to the invention is characterized in particular by the simple structure and ease of use reliable locking. Once the trailer has been closed, it can no longer be Open non-destructively. The configuration according to the invention of the trailer now has the particular advantage that the Attempt to open the trailer through the broken one The predetermined breaking point is clear and cannot be undone is shown. This can already be used to manipulate Followers can be found without this being complete would have been destroyed.

Bevorzugte Ausführungsformen der Erfindung ergeben sich aus den abhängigen Ansprüchen 2 bis 8.Preferred embodiments of the invention result from dependent claims 2 to 8.

Insbesondere vorteilhaft erweist sich dabei die Ausführung, bei welcher sowohl der Schieber wie auch der Bügel in geschlossenem Zustand vom Verriegelungselement erfasst resp. dieses eingeklinkt wird. Die Sollbruchstelle wird vorzugsweise durch eine Verminderung der Wandstärke in diesem Bereich des Gehäuses auf einfachste Weise gebildet.The embodiment proves to be particularly advantageous, in which both the slide and the bracket in closed state detected by the locking element respectively. this is latched. The predetermined breaking point is preferably by reducing the wall thickness in this area of the housing formed in the simplest way.

Vorzugsweise wird ein erfindungsgemässer Aufhänger gemäss Anspruch 9 als Sicherheitsverschluss oder Sicherheitsplombe verwendet.A hanger according to the invention is preferably according to Claim 9 as a security seal or security seal used.

    • An embodiment of the present invention is explained in more detail below with reference to drawings. Show it
  • Figure 1 is a schematic sectional view of a trailer according to the invention in the open position.
  • 2 shows the sectional view according to FIG. 1 in the closed position;

    • Ein erfindungsgemässer Anhänger 1 weist ein in seinem Gehäuse 2 verschiebbaren Schieber 3 auf. Direkt am oberen Ende des Schiebers 3 ist ein Bügel 4 angeformt, welcher hakenförmig ausgebildet ist. In der dargestellten offenen Position bildet der Bügel 4 mit der Stirnseite des Gehäuses 2 einen offenen Ring, mit welchem der Anhänger 1 in das dafür vorgesehene Teil eingehängt werden kann.A trailer 1 according to the invention has one in its Housing 2 slider 3 on. Right at the top A bracket 4 is formed on the end of the slide 3, which is hook-shaped. In the illustrated open Position forms the bracket 4 with the front of the housing 2 an open ring with which the trailer 1 in the intended part can be hung.

    Im Gehäuse 2 ist nun ein Verriegelungselement 5 angeordnet, welches vorzugsweise als im wesentlich U-förmiger Verriegelungsbügel ausgebildet ist. Dieser Verriegelungsbügel 5 weist an seinen beiden Schenkeln jeweils nach Aussen abgebogene Enden 6 und 7 auf, welche als Verriegelungsklinken dienen. Durch diesen Aufbau des Verriegelungsbügels 5 lassen sich die beiden Schenkel nach Innen federnd bewegen. In der in Figur 1 dargestellten Position ist die Verriegelungsklinke 7 in eine Ausnehmung 8 des Schiebers 3 eingerastet und fixiert damit diesen in der dargestellten Position. Die Ausnehmung 8 ist vorzugsweise derart trapezförmig ausgeformt, dass sie eine untere, senkrecht zum Schenkel des Verriegelungsbügels 5 ausgerichtete untere Anschlagsfläche 8' und eine dazu schräg nach oben verlaufende obere Anschlagsfläche 8" aufweist. Durch diese Ausgestaltung der Ausnehmung 8 lässt sich der Schieber 3 nicht nach oben aus dem Gehäuse 2 herausziehen, da er durch die Anschlagsfläche 8' blockiert ist. Durch Aufbringen eines Druckes auf den Bügel 4 lässt sich nun der Schieber 3 in das Gehäuse 2 hineindrücken, da durch die schräge Anschlagsfläche 8" der Schenkel des Verriegelungsbügels 5 gegen Innen gedrückt wird und aus der Ausnehmung 8 ausrasten kann.A locking element 5 is now arranged in the housing 2, which is preferably substantially U-shaped Locking bracket is formed. This Locking bracket 5 has on its two legs ends 6 and 7 which are bent outwards, which serve as locking pawls. By building this Locking bracket 5, the two legs Move resiliently inside. In the illustrated in Figure 1 Position is the locking pawl 7 in a recess 8 of the slider 3 locked and fixed it in the position shown. The recess 8 is preferably shaped so trapezoidal that they have a lower, perpendicular to the leg of the locking bracket 5 aligned lower stop surface 8 'and one upper stop surface 8 " having. This configuration of the recess 8 allows the slide 3 does not move upwards out of the housing 2 pull out because it is blocked by the stop surface 8 ' is. By applying pressure to the bracket 4 now push the slider 3 into the housing 2 because through the inclined stop surface 8 "of the leg of the Locking bracket 5 is pressed against the inside and out of the Can disengage recess 8.

    Es wird nun auch klar, dass der Schieber 3 von Aussen einfach in das Gehäuse 2 in die in Figur 1 gezeigte Position eingefahren werden kann. Indem der Schieber 3 an seinem unteren, freien Ende ebenfalls eine entsprechend der Anschlagsfläche 8'' schräg ausgebildete Anlaufkante 3' aufweist, wird beim Einschieben des Schiebers 3 in das Gehäuse 2 durch diese Anlaufkante 3' die Verriegelungsklinke 7 gegen Innen gedrückt, bis sie in die Ausnehmung 8 einrastet.It is now also clear that the slide 3 from the outside simply in the housing 2 in that shown in Figure 1 Position can be retracted. By the slider 3 on its lower, free end also one corresponding to the Stop surface 8 '' inclined leading edge 3 ' has when inserting the slide 3 in the Housing 2 through this leading edge 3 ' Locking pawl 7 pressed against the inside until it is in the Recess 8 engages.

    In Figur 2 ist nun die geschlossenen Position des Aufhängers 1 dargestellt. In dieser Position ist die Verriegelungsklinke 7 in die rechteckförmige Ausnehmung 9 des Schiebers 3 eingeklinkt. Damit lässt sich nun der Schieber 3 nicht mehr verschieben, ohne dass der Schenkel des Verriegelungsbügels 5 mit der Verriegelungsklinke 7 nach Innen ausgeschwenkt würde. Dies ist aber wegen des geschlossenen Gehäuses 2 nicht möglich, ohne dass von Aussen zerstörerisch auf den Aufhänger 1 eingewirkt wird. Um eine zusätzliche Sicherheit des Verschlusses zu gewährleisten, ist vorzugsweise eine weitere Ausnehmung 10 im Bügel 4 vorgesehen, in welche die Verriegelungsklinke 6 des zweiten Schenkels des Verriegelungsbügels 5 in derselben Weise einrastet. Damit wird auch vermieden, dass durch Kraftaufwendung von Aussen nur der Bügel 4 aus dem Gehäuse 2 herausgezogen resp., abgebogen wird, und damit der aus dem Bügel 4 und der Stirnseite des Gehäuses 2 gebildete geschlossene Ring geöffnet werden kann. In Figure 2, the closed position of the Hanger 1 shown. In this position the Locking pawl 7 in the rectangular recess 9 the slider 3 latched. Now you can Do not move slider 3 without the leg of the locking bracket 5 with the locking pawl 7 would be swung inwards. But this is because of the closed housing 2 not possible without Outside acts destructively on the hanger 1. For additional security of the closure too ensure, is preferably a further recess 10 provided in the bracket 4, in which the locking pawl 6th of the second leg of the locking bracket 5 in snaps in the same way. This also avoids that by exerting force only the bracket 4 from the Housing 2 is pulled out, bent, and thus from the bracket 4 and the front of the housing 2nd formed closed ring can be opened.

    Damit wird einmal ein zuverlässiger, einmal verschliessbarer Aufhänger 1 mit einfachem Aufbau gebildet, welcher nicht mehr zerstörugsfrei geöffnet werden kann.It becomes a reliable one, once closable hanger 1 formed with a simple structure, which can no longer be opened without being destroyed.

    Der Verriegelungsbügel 5 ist im Gehäuse 2 erfindungsgemäss nun derart angeordnet, dass sein Bogenteil 5' zwischen der unteren Gehäusewand 2' und einem Haltenocken 11 fixiert ist, wie besonders deutlich aus dem Schnittbild von Figur 3 hervorgeht. Wird nun eine Zugkraft auf den Bügel 4 resp. den Schieber 3 bezüglich dem Gehäuse 2 ausgeübt, so wird diese Kraft über die Verriegelungsklinken 6, 7 auf den Verriegelungsbügel 5 und damit direkt über den Bogenteil 5' auf den Haltenocken 11 übertragen. Dieser Haltenocken 11 ist nun erfindungsgemäss direkt am Gehäuse 2 angeformt, hier direkt an der Bodenfläche des Gehäuses 2. Im Uebergangsbereich vom Gehäuse 2 zum Haltenocken 11 ist nun erfindungsgemäss eine Sollbruchstelle 12 vorgesehen, hier vorzugsweise in der Form einer sehr dünnen Wandung auf einer Seite des Haltnockens 11. Wird nun eine Zugkraft auf den Bügel 4 resp. den Schieber 3 in Pfeilrichtung, wie in Figur 4 dargestellt, ausgeübt, so reisst diese Sollbruchstelle 12 beim Überschreiten des entsprechend dimensionierten resp. gewünschten Kraftwertes infolge der Ausbiegung des Haltnockens 11 wie dargestellt ein. Dieser Riss ist nun bleibend in der Oberfläche des Gehäuses 2 vorhanden und ist von Aussen einfach und schnell erkennbar. Damit kann zuverlässig und auf einfache Weise eine versuchte Öffnungsmanipulation am Anhänger 1 erkannt werden. Vorteilhafterweise ist diese Kennung, nämlich das Einreissen der Sollbruchstelle, nicht mehr auslöschbar oder kaschierbar.The locking bracket 5 is in the housing 2 according to the invention now arranged such that its arch part 5 'between the lower housing wall 2 'and a holding cam 11 fixed is, as is particularly clear from the sectional view of FIG. 3 evident. Is now a tensile force on the bracket 4, respectively. the slide 3 is exerted with respect to the housing 2, so this force on the locking pawls 6, 7 on the Locking bracket 5 and thus directly over the arch part 5 ' transferred to the holding cam 11. This holding cam 11 is now formed directly on the housing 2 according to the invention, here directly on the bottom surface of the housing 2. Im Transition area from the housing 2 to the holding cam 11 is now According to the invention, a predetermined breaking point 12 is provided here preferably in the form of a very thin wall one side of the stop cam 11. Will now pull on the bracket 4 respectively. the slide 3 in the direction of the arrow, as in Figure 4 shown, exercised, this tears Breakage point 12 when the corresponding is exceeded dimensioned or desired force value as a result of Bending of the retaining cam 11 as shown. This The crack is now permanent in the surface of the housing 2 available and can be easily and quickly recognized from the outside. This can be a reliable and easy way attempted tampering with trailer 1 detected become. This identifier is advantageously, namely Tear the predetermined breaking point, no longer erasable or to laminate.

    Vorzugsweise ist nun nicht nur auf einer Seite des Gehäuses 2 eine Sollbruchstelle vorgesehen, sondern beispielsweise auch auf der vorderen Seite, wie ebenfalls aus Figur 3 hervorgeht. Hier ragt beispielsweise der Haltenocken 11 in eine Öffnung 13 einer die obere Gehäuseoberfläche bildenden Abdeckplatte 14. Diese Abdeckplatte 14 ist mit dem Gehäuse 2 im Randbereich fest verbunden, beispielsweise verklebt oder verschweisst. Ein Bereich der Abdeckplatte 14 um diese Öffnung 13 herum weist nun ebenfalls eine Sollbruchstelle 15 auf, indem dort ebenfalls eine im Verhältnis zur normalen Wandstärke sehr kleine Wandstärke gewählt wird. Wenn nun, wie bereits vorgängig geschildert, der Haltenocken 11 infolge einer auf den Bügel 4 resp. Schieber 3 einwirkenden Zugkraft ausgebogen wird, wie in Figur 4 dargestellt, bewirkt dies ein Brechen der entsprechenden Sollbruchstelle 15. Dies ist nun wiederum von Aussen ohne weiteres erkennbar und nicht mehr rückgängig zu machen.Now is preferably not only on one side of the housing 2 a predetermined breaking point is provided, but for example also on the front side, as also from FIG. 3 evident. Here, for example, the holding cam 11 projects an opening 13 of an upper housing surface Cover plate 14. This cover plate 14 is with the housing 2 firmly connected in the edge area, for example glued or welded. A region around the cover plate 14 Opening 13 now also has a predetermined breaking point 15 on, there also one in relation to normal wall thickness very small wall thickness is selected. If, as already described above, the Holding cam 11 due to a on the bracket 4, respectively. pusher 3 acting tensile force is bent out, as in Figure 4 shown, this causes the corresponding ones to break Breaking point 15. This is again without from the outside further recognizable and irreversible.

    Sollte nun trotzdem eine Öffnungsmanipulation vorgenommen worden sein, welche die Sollbruchstellen 12, 15 zum Einreissen gebracht hat, so ist als zusätzlicher Verriegelungsschutz vorzugsweise ein Blockiersteg 16 innerhalb des Gehäuses 2 angeordnet. Dieser Blockiersteg 16 weist vorzugsweise die Form des Endes des entsprechenden Schenkels des Verriegelungsbügels 5 mit Verriegelungsnocken 7 auf. Damit wird ein seitliches Ausbiegen des Verriegelungsbugeis 5 in dieser Lage verunmöglicht, wie in Figur 5 dargestellt ist. Der Haltenocken 11 ist zwar durch die Zugkraft stark verbogen und die entsprechenden Sollbruchstellen 12 resp. 15 sind eingerissen, die Verriegelungsnocken 6 und 7 sind aber immer noch in den entsprechenden Ausnehmungen 9 und 10 eingeklinkt, weshalb sich der Schieber 3 und damit auch der Bügel 4 nicht weiter aus dem Gehäuse 2 herausziehen lassen und damit verschlossen bleiben. Selbst eine von Aussen erfolgende zerstörende Manipulation kann damit nicht mehr zu einem Ausklinken der Verriegelungsnocken 6 resp. 7 führen. Ein Ausklinken des Verriegelungsnockens 6 wird hier beispielsweise durch die entsprechende Form der Aussenwand des Gehäuses 2 bewirkt, welche ein seitliches Verschwenken des entsprechenden Schenkels des Verriegelungsbügels 5 verhindert. Sogar, wenn in diesem Fall der Haltenocken 11 vollständig von seiner Wandung des Gehäuses 2 abgetrennt würde, bliebe damit eine zuverlässige Verriegelung des Schiebers 3 und des Bügels 4 gewährleistet.Should an opening manipulation be carried out anyway have been, which the predetermined breaking points 12, 15 to Tear has brought as an additional Locking protection, preferably a blocking web 16 arranged within the housing 2. This blocking web 16 preferably has the shape of the end of the corresponding Leg of the locking bracket 5 with locking cams 7 on. So that a lateral bending of the Locking bow 5 impossible in this position, as in Figure 5 is shown. The holding cam 11 is through the tensile force is strongly bent and the corresponding Predetermined breaking points 12 respectively. 15 are torn down Locking cams 6 and 7 are still in the corresponding recesses 9 and 10 latched, which is why the slide 3 and thus the bracket 4 no further can be pulled out of the housing 2 and thus remain closed. Even an outside one destructive manipulation can no longer become one Notching the locking cams 6 respectively. 7 lead. On Notching the locking cam 6 is here for example, by the corresponding shape of the outer wall of the housing 2, which causes a lateral pivoting of the corresponding leg of the locking bracket 5 prevented. Even if in this case the holding cam 11 completely separated from its wall of the housing 2 would remain a reliable locking of the Slider 3 and the bracket 4 guaranteed.
