Abstract

The device has a screw (1) to fix the object and a connecting element (11) shaped like a hook, for the securing rope or other device. A joining element (5) connects the screw to the connecting element and rotates about the screw axis. The connecting element can pivot about an axis that is spaced from the screw axis and perpendicular to it. The connecting element folds over the joining element and the screw.

Description

Technical field

The invention relates to a connection device for fastening of lifting or lashing equipment to be transported or objects to be lashed with one for fastening them fastener serving on the respective object, with a connecting element for the sling or lashing equipment and with the fastener with the connector connecting, rotatable about the longitudinal axis of the fastener on this mounted connecting element, wherein the connecting element is pivotable about a pivot axis, the at a distance from the longitudinal axis of the fastener perpendicular runs to the longitudinal axis of the fastener, and the connecting element via the connecting element and the Fastener is foldable.

State of the art

A connection device of the above type is from DE 34 35 714 C2 known. In the known device forms - as with a variety of other prior art Similar devices - the connecting element Eyelet, for example in a chain lock, a shackle or a hook can be hung, the aforementioned components end links of chain slings, rope slings or form stop straps or as intermediate links to Get involved.

Presentation of the invention

The invention has for its object a connection device of the kind contemplated to create the Use of round slings, ropes with end thimbles and chain hangers with eyelet-shaped end links without intermediate Connection parts enabled. This task will solved according to the invention in that the connecting element after Kind of a hook is formed.

The proposed one, in retrospect as amazingly simple appearing solution offers the advantage that it is a problem-free Use of lifting gear of any kind for lifting of equipped with the connection devices according to the invention Heavy loads allowed. The manufacturing cost for the connecting elements designed in the sense of the invention are admittedly higher than the manufacturing costs of the general connection eyelets, the additional benefit justifies regardless of the nature of the mass article relevant connecting devices the additional effort.

One has proven to be particularly compact and thus advantageous Connection device in which the pivot axis of the connecting element formed by a cylindrical portion of a pin that is connected to the ; a part of the connecting element forming a hook back is.

Ways of Carrying Out the Invention

In Figures 1 and 2, 1 is a screw formed Fastening element for fastening the connection device on an unspecified object 2. On the Fastening element 1 is by means of two bushes 3 and 4 rotatably mounted a connecting element 5. The connecting element 5 has a bore 6, the longitudinal axis 7 in one Distance A perpendicular to the longitudinal axis 8 of the fastener runs. In the bore 6 is a swivel cylindrical portion of a pin 9 mounted, the free end has a thread on which a snap lock 10 is screwed on. The one opposite the folding safety device 10 End of the pin 9 forms a piece with one according to Art a hook formed connecting element 11, the one Part 12 of the connecting element 11 in the hook back runs substantially perpendicular to the longitudinal axis of the pin 9. A compact design of the connection device comes Contrary to the fact that the clear width W of a hook prong forming part of the connecting element 11 is equal to the length L. of the portion of the pin guided in the connecting element 5 9 is.

The connection device shown in Figures 3 and 4 differs only slightly from the connection device according to Figures 1 and 2, the same parts are therefore assigned the same reference numbers. In the second embodiment is the base 13 of the folding lock 14 to one Pin 15 forged, i.e. it forms a piece with one Connection element 16. This type of formation of the connection element 16 makes use of a modified connector 17 required. It is like a temple formed, with troughs 18, 19 for guiding the pin 15 provided legs 20, 21 bent around the pin are.

Claims (7)

1. Attachment device for fastening slinging or lashing means on articles which are to be transported or lashed, having a fastening element (1) serving for fastening the same on the respective article, having an attachment element (11, 16) for the slinging or lashing means, and having a connecting element (5, 17) which connects the fastening element (1) to the attachment element (11, 16) and is mounted on the fastening element (1) such that it can be rotated about the longitudinal axis (8) thereof, it being the case that the attachment element (11, 16) can be pivoted about a pivot axis (7) which is spaced apart from the longitudinal axis of the fastening element, perpendicularly to the longitudinal axis of the fastening element (1), and that the attachment element (11, 16) can be swung over the connecting element (5) and the fastening element (1), characterized in that the attachment element (11, 16) is designed in the manner of a hook, of which the pivot axis (7) is formed by a portion of a pin (9, 15) which is guided, over its entire length (L), in the connecting element (5, 17).
