Description

Die vorliegende Erfindung betrifft einen Anhänger mit verriegelbarem Bügel nach dem Oberbegriff von Anspruch 1.The present invention relates to a trailer with a lockable Temple according to the preamble of claim 1.

Es sind eine Vielzahl von derartigen Anhängern bekannt, welche auch als Padlock bezeichnet werden. Insbesondere bei derartigen Anhängern, bei welchen der Bügel nach dem Verriegeln nicht mehr zerstörungsfrei gelöst werden kann, besteht das Problem, Manipulationsversuche am Verschluss einerseits möglichst zu verhindern und andererseits sichtbar resp. erkennbar zu machen.A variety of such trailers are known, which also be called Padlock. Especially with such Trailers on which the bracket after locking can no longer be solved non-destructively, there is Problem, manipulation attempts at the closure on the one hand if possible to prevent and on the other hand visible resp. recognizable close.

So ist beispielsweise aus US 4,779,911 ein derartiger Anhänger bekannt, welcher aus wenigen Teilen aufgebaut ist und sich nach dem Verriegeln des Bügels nicht mehr zerstörungsfrei öffnen lässt. Dabei werden die beiden Enden eines U-förmiger Bügels aus Metall in einem kastenartigen Gehäuse gelagert. In ungebrauchtem, geöffneten Zustand ist lediglich ein Ende des Bügels längsverschiebbar zwischen zwei Anschlägen und seitlich schwenkbar in diesem Gehäuse gelagert. Damit kann der Bügel bestimmungsgemäss eingesetzt werden, beispielsweise durch Einführen des freien Endes in eine oder mehrere Ösen. Anschliessend kann das freie Ende in die entsprechende Öffnung im Anhängergehäuse eingeführt werden, in welchem von Aussen unzugänglich federnde Rückhaltemittel angeordnet sind, welche diese Ende des U-Bügels nun unverrückbar festhalten. So greifen die federnden Rückhaltemittel in eine am Bügelende ausgeformte Ringnut ein. Das Öffnen des Anhängers muss nun durch Durchtrennen des U-Bügels mit einem Werkzeug erfolgen, wodurch der Anhänger für einen weiteren Einsatz unbrauchbar wird. Such a trailer is, for example, from US 4,779,911 known, which is made up of a few parts and itself after the locking of the bracket no longer non-destructively can be opened. The two ends of a U-shape Metal bracket in a box-like housing. In unused, open condition is only one end of the bracket is longitudinally displaceable between two stops and laterally pivoted in this housing. In order to the bracket can be used as intended, for example by inserting the free end into one or several eyelets. The free end can then be inserted into the corresponding one Opening in the trailer housing are inserted in which is arranged inaccessible resilient retaining means from the outside are which this end of the U-bracket is now immovable hold tight. This is how the resilient restraining means engage an annular groove formed at the temple end. Opening the trailer must now by cutting the U-bracket with a Tool done, making the trailer for another Use becomes unusable.

Weiter ist aus der DE-U-9 200 110 ein Anhänger mit einem Bügel offenbart, bei welchem das Gehäuse schalenförmig ausgebildet ist und bei welchem Rückhaltemittel an einer im Gehäuseinnern positionierten Halteplatte ausgebildet sind. Diese Halteplatte bildet nun aber nur einen Teil des Gehäuses und bildet damit eine von Aussen zugängliche Spalte zwischen sich und dem übrigen Gehäuse. Dadurch können an dieser Stelle Manipulationsversuche stattfinden, die nicht bemerkt werden können. Furthermore, from DE-U-9 200 110 is a trailer with a Bracket reveals, in which the housing is bowl-shaped is formed and with which restraining means on an in Holding plate positioned inside the housing are formed. This holding plate now forms only part of the Housing and thus forms an accessible from the outside Gaps between themselves and the rest of the case. Thereby manipulation attempts can take place at this point, that cannot be noticed.

Diese bekannten Ausführungsformen eines Anhängers sind zwar einfach aus nur wenigen Teilen aufgebaut, weisen aber etliche Mängel insbesondere betreffend der Manipulationssicherheit auf.These known embodiments of a trailer are simple made up of just a few parts, but have quite a few Defects, particularly with regard to security against manipulation on.

Die Aufgabe der vorliegenden Erfindung bestand nun darin, einen derartigen Anhänger zu schaffen, welcher noch einfacher im Aufbau sein soll bei verbesserter Manipulationssicherheit.The object of the present invention was now one to create such a trailer, which is even easier should be under construction with improved security against manipulation.

Diese Aufgabe wird erfindungsgemäss durch einen Anhänger mit den Merkmalen nach Anspruch 1 gelöst.This object is achieved according to the invention by a trailer solved the features of claim 1.

Vorteilhafterweise lässt sich ein derartiger erfindungsgemässer Anhänger vorzugsweise einteilig herstellen und besitzt eine sehr hohe Manipulationssicherheit, dadurch, dass die Verriegelungsorgange von aussen unzugänglich und nicht offen im Gehäuseinnern angeordnet sind. Der Anhänger weist durch seine Einteiligkeit trotz der Manipulationssicherheit dennoch die Vorteile eines einfachen Aufbaues auf. Ein derartiger Anhänger eignet sich insbesondere als günstiger Massenartikel bei Anwendungen mit hohem Sicherheitsbedarf resp. hoher Manipulationssicherheit.Such a device according to the invention can advantageously be used Manufacture preferably in one piece and has a very high security against manipulation, because the Locking mechanisms inaccessible from the outside and not open are arranged inside the housing. The trailer shows its one-piece construction despite the security against manipulation the advantages of a simple structure. Such a trailer is particularly suitable as an inexpensive mass-produced item for applications with high security requirements resp. high security against manipulation.

Bevorzugte Ausführungsformen der Erfindung ergeben sich aus den abhängigen Ansprüchen 2 bis 9.Preferred embodiments of the invention result from dependent claims 2 to 9.

Ein Ausführungsbeispiel der vorliegenden Erfindung wird nachstehend anhand von Zeichnungen noch näher erläutert. Es zeigen

  • Fig. 1 die Aufsicht mit Teilschnitt auf einen erfindungsgemässen Anhänger in der geschlossenen Position;
  • Fig. 2 einen Längsschnitt durch den Anhänger nach Figur 1; und
  • Fig. 3 die Ansicht des Rohlings des Anhängers nach Figur 1.
    • An embodiment of the present invention is explained in more detail below with reference to drawings. Show it
  • Figure 1 is a top view with partial section of a trailer according to the invention in the closed position.
  • Figure 2 is a longitudinal section through the trailer of Figure 1; and
  • 3 shows the view of the blank of the trailer according to FIG. 1.

    • Figur 1 zeigt nun die Aufsicht mit Teilschnitt auf einen erfindungsgemässen Anhänger 1 in der geschlossenen Position, d.h. mit geschlossenem Bügel 2. Der Anhänger 1 weist dabei ein flaches, schalenförmiges Gehäuse 3 auf, welches oben und an seiner Vorderseite eine geschlossene Wandung 3' und 3'' aufweist. Im Innern des Gehäuses 3 ist eine Halteplatte 4 angeordnet, welche gleichzeitig die untere und hintere Seitenwandung 4' und 4'' des Anhängers 1 bildet. Diese Halteplatte 4 ist einerseits über die Brücke 5 mit dem Gehäuse 3 verbunden und andererseits in der unteren Ecke über eine Verzapfung 6 resp. eine Niete mit den Seitenwänden des Gehäuses 3 verbunden. Damit liegt die Halteplatte 4 unverrückbar im Innern des Gehäuses 3 fest und kann nicht ohne sichtbare Manipulation aus diesem losgelöst werden.Figure 1 now shows the top view with partial section of an inventive Trailer 1 in the closed position, i.e. with closed bracket 2. The trailer 1 points a flat, shell-shaped housing 3, which above and a closed wall 3 'and 3' 'on its front having. A holding plate 4 is arranged in the interior of the housing 3, which simultaneously the lower and rear side wall 4 'and 4' 'of the trailer 1 forms. This holding plate 4 is connected to the housing 3 via the bridge 5 and on the other hand in the lower corner via a mortise 6 resp. a rivet connected to the side walls of the housing 3. So that the holding plate 4 is immovable inside of the housing 3 firmly and can not without visible manipulation be detached from this.

    Der Bügel 2 ist mit seinem einen Ende 2' ebenfalls mit dem Gehäuse 3, vorzugsweise einstückig, verbunden. Das freie Ende 2'' des Bügels ist als Rückhalteorgan ausgebildet und mündet in der geschlossenen Position in entsprechend ausgebildete Rückhaltemittel der Halteplatte 4.The bracket 2 is also with its one end 2 ' Housing 3, preferably in one piece, connected. The free end 2 '' of the bracket is designed as a retaining element and opens out in the closed position in appropriately trained Retaining means of the holding plate 4.

    Als Rückhalteorgane des Bügels 2 dienen vorzugsweise ein Rückhaltezahn 7 sowie ein ebenfalls zahnförmig ausgebildeter Anschlagsnocken 8, welche gegeneinander wirkend ausgebildet sind. Diese Rückhalteorgane 7,8 greifen in entsprechend ausgebildete Rückhaltemittel der Halteplatte 4 ein, so hier vorzugsweise in eine federnde Zunge 9 mit einem ebenfalls federnd ausgebildeten Wippenkörper 10. In der in Figur 1 dargestellten geschlossenen Position des Anhängers 1 ist das Bügelende 2'' unverrückbar durch den Wippenkörper 10, d.h. seinen beiden kantigen Endbereichen, welche gegen den Rückhaltezahn 7 sowie den Anschlagsnocken 8 in Anschlag liegen, im Gehäuse 3 gehalten und kann nicht zerstörungsfrei entfernt werden.Preferably serve as retaining members of the bracket 2 Retention tooth 7 as well as a tooth-shaped one Stop cams 8, which are designed to act against each other are. These retention organs 7,8 engage appropriately trained ones Retention means of the holding plate 4, so preferably here in a resilient tongue 9 with an also resilient trained rocker body 10. In the shown in Figure 1 closed position of the trailer 1 is the temple end 2 '' immovable through the rocker body 10, i.e. his two angular end areas, which against the retention tooth 7 and the stop cam 8 are in the stop, in the housing 3 held and cannot be removed non-destructively.

    Hierfür dient unter anderem die Aufdickung 11 unterstützend , welche vorzugsweise am Bügel 2 im Uebergang zum Bügelende 2'' ausgebildet ist. Die Aufdickung 11, beispielsweise in Form eines Ringes, ist derart ausgebildet, dass sie die Einstecköffnung 12 für das Bügelende 2'' in der Oberseite 3' des Gehäuses 3 in geschlossenem Zustand verschliesst und damit verhindert, dass in den durch diese Öffnung 12 und dem Bügelende 2'' gebildeten Spalt ein Werkzeug zur Manipulation der Verbindung der Rückhalteorgane 7,8 resp. Rüchhaltemittel 9,10 eingeführt werden kann. Dies wird zusätzlich durch die vorzugsweise bogenförmige Ausbildung des Bügelendes 2'' erschwert, welche das Einführen eines geraden Manipulationswerkzeuges verhindert.The thickening 11 serves, among other things, to support this, which is preferably on bracket 2 in the transition to the bracket end 2 '' is trained. The thickening 11, for example in the form of a ring, is designed such that it the insertion opening 12 for the temple end 2 '' in the top 3 'of the housing 3 closes in the closed state and thus prevents that in through this opening 12 and the temple end 2 '' gap formed a tool for manipulating the connection the restraining organs 7.8 resp. Restraining agent 9.10 can be introduced. This is additionally preferred by the arcuate formation of the temple end 2 '' difficult, which is the introduction of a straight manipulation tool prevented.

    Wenn versucht werden sollte, den Bügel 2 mit Gewalt vom Gehäuse 3 abzutrennen, so wird der Bügel 2 zuerst an der vorzugsweise vorgesehenen Sollbruchstelle 13 brechen und damit den Manipulationsversuch erkennbar machen. Da diese Sollbruchstelle 13 oberhalb der Aufdickung 11 angeordnet ist, verbleibt in diesem Fall das Bügelende 2'' im Gehäuse 3 des Anhängers 1 und kann auch unter Zuhilfenahme eines Werkzeuges nicht entfernt werden, ohne dass das Gehäuse 3 selbst auch beschädigt werden würde.If an attempt is made to force the bracket 2 off the housing 3 separate, so the bracket 2 is preferably on the first intended breaking point 13 break and thus make the attempted manipulation recognizable. Because this breaking point 13 is arranged above the thickening 11, In this case, the bracket end 2 '' remains in the housing 3 of the Trailer 1 and can also with the help of a tool cannot be removed without the housing 3 itself would be damaged.

    Selbst wenn nun ein Werkzeug in den genannten Spalt eingeführt werden könnte, führt die Ausbildung des Rückhaltemittels in Form einer Wippe 10 dazu, dass es nicht gelingen wird, gleichzeitig sowohl den unteren Bereich der Wippe 10, welche mit dem Rückhaltezahn 7 in Kontakt steht, wie auch den oberen Teil der Wippe 10, welche mit dem Anschlagnocken 8 in Kontakt steht, gleichzeitig soweit zu verschieben, dass das Bügelende 2'' aus der Öffnung 12 entfernt werden könnte, ohne das Gehäuse 3 sichtbar zu beschädigen.Even if a tool is now inserted into the gap mentioned could lead to the formation of the restraint in the form of a rocker 10 so that it does not succeed is, at the same time both the lower area of the rocker 10, which is in contact with the retaining tooth 7, as well as the upper part of the rocker 10, which with the stop cam 8 in Contact is at the same time to move so far that the Temple end 2 '' could be removed from the opening 12 without visibly damage the housing 3.

    Weiter ist am Bügelende 2' vorzugsweise ein flacher, gegen die Bügelöffnung ausragender Zapfen 15 vorgesehen, welcher in geschlossenem Zustand des Anhängers 1 zwischen an beiden Seitenflächen des Gehäuses 3 ausgebildeten Wangen 14 zu liegen kommt und damit von diesen seitlich geführt wird. Damit wird verhindert, dass das Bügelende 2' im Uebergangsbereich zum Gehäuse 3 seitlichen Belastung ausgesetzt wird, welche zu einem Bruch des Bügels 2 in diesem Bereich führen könnten. Selbstverständlich könnte der Zapfen 15 auch am Gehäuse 3 selbst ausgebildet sein, welcher zwischen zwei am Bügelende 2' angeordnete parallele Wangen 15 eingreifen könnte.Next is preferably a flat, against the temple end 2 ' the bracket opening projecting pin 15 is provided, which in closed state of the trailer 1 between on both side surfaces of the housing 3 trained cheeks 14 to lie comes and is guided laterally by them. So that will prevents the temple end 2 'in the transition area to Housing 3 is exposed to lateral stress, which leads to a Breakage of the bracket 2 could result in this area. Of course, the pin 15 could also be on the housing 3 be formed itself, which between two at the temple end 2 'arranged parallel cheeks 15 could engage.

    Ein besonders grosser Vorteil des vorliegenden Anhängers 1 liegt nun darin, dass die Konstruktion derart aufgebaut ist, dass sie sich einteilig produzieren lässt, wie aus der Ansicht nach Figur 3 hervorgeht. Die drei Teile Gehäuse 3, Halteplatte 3 und Bügel 2 lassen sich als einen einzigen Spritzling fertigen, die Bereiche sind über die Brücke 5 und das Bügelende 2' miteinander verbunden. Damit lässt sich die Halteplatte 4 einfach in den Hohlraum des Gehäuses 3 um die Brücke 5 herum einschwenken und vorzugsweise mittels der Verzapfung 6 unverrückbar zu einem offenen Anhänger 1 verbinden.A particularly great advantage of the present trailer 1 lies in the fact that the construction is structured in such a way that it can be produced in one piece, as from the view emerges from Figure 3. The three parts housing 3, holding plate 3 and bracket 2 can be a single molding manufacture, the areas are over the bridge 5 and that Temple end 2 'connected together. This allows the holding plate 4 simply into the cavity of the housing 3 around the Swing bridge 5 around and preferably by means of the mortise and tenon 6 immovably connect to an open trailer 1.

    Damit wird vorteilhafterweise ein einstückiger Anhänger 1, auch Padlock genannt, geschaffen, welcher im Gegensatz zu vielen bekannten derartigen einteiligen Anhängern wegen des vollständig geschlossenen Verriegelungsbereiches besonders manipulationssicher ist, wie oben dargelegt.A one-piece trailer 1, also called Padlock, which, in contrast to many known such one-piece trailers because of the completely closed locking area especially is tamper-proof, as stated above.
