Definitions
- the invention relates to a harness for racing cars according to the features in the preamble of claim 1.
- Harness straps are personal restraint systems which, especially when used in racing cars, have a split lap belt, two shoulder straps and two crotch straps that can be joined directly or indirectly to a central belt buckle (List of offers by Schroth Safety Products GmbH, Im Ohl 14, 50714 Arnsberg “Weight and Price Comparison for Open Wheel Racing Harnesses ").
- the crotch straps can be fastened to a T-shaped fitting (Profi III-6 and Profi II-6), with a fitting tongue in a corresponding fitting Insertion of the belt buckle is inserted from below.
- the distance between the fastenings of the crotch straps on the T-shaped fitting is intended that the crotch straps should rest laterally on the legs of a driver and thereby the risk of genital injury is avoided.
- T-shaped fittings can bend in an accident so U-shaped upwards that the opening lever of the buckle, which must show according to the regulations of the racing organization FIA down, in his freedom of movement is considerably restricted and the belt buckle can not be opened.
- T-shaped fitting can hinder unhindered sliding through designated openings on seats, which are designed as so-called "extrication seats".
- the drivers remain fixed to them after an accident, so that they can be stabilized together with the seats and thus lifted out of the race cars in a manner that spares the vertebrae.
- the state of the art also includes an embodiment of a harness belt with split lap belt, shoulder straps and crotch straps (Profi III-6F and Profi II-6F) in which the crotch straps over the thighs of a driver are respectively attached to the partial lengths of the lap belt by the belt tongues D-shaped rings and from these rings obliquely upwards past the belt buckle are guided in the area of the belt tongues of the shoulder straps.
- the crotch straps point to their closure close Ends loops through which the belt tongues of the shoulder straps can be inserted and then snapped into the buckle.
- the belt arrangement has two partial lengths of a lap belt, which can be joined together by means of belt tongues with the belt buckle and also separated therefrom.
- the belt tongues facing away from the ends of the partial lengths are inserted over other belt tongues through vertical slots of attached to the pilot seat brackets.
- On the back of these consoles bolts are guided through holes in the belt tongues, so that the belt tongues are fixed to the consoles.
- the bolts can be manually or automatically disconnected from the belt tongues when the pilot's seat is catapulted with the pilot out of the aircraft.
- Loops are pushed over the belt tongues, which form end components of partial lengths of an overall Y-shaped crotch strap.
- the deflected over the brackets part lengths are passed between the buttocks of the pilot and the top of the pilot seat to a parallel to the front of the pilot seat in a recess extending round guide element from which only a shaft portion between the legs of the pilot obliquely backwards to the buckle extends.
- the recess is also a hand lever for triggering the Schleudermechanismusses.
- the shaft part can be coupled directly to the belt fastener via a belt tongue.
- two loops in a V-shaped configuration are provided at the end of the shaft part located just before the belt buckle, which loops are pushed over the ends of the partial lengths of the lap belt. Thereafter, the belt tongues can be coupled with the belt buckle.
- the structure of the known belt arrangement is therefore adapted to the requirements of a pilot who is to be kept properly on the one hand in all aircraft situations and movements on the pilot's seat, on the other hand, however can easily disconnect from the pilot's seat when he leaves the aircraft normally or when he must be in an emergency in the air after dropping the pilot's seat off the plane from the pilot's seat.
- the bolts are manually or automatically separated from the belt tongues of the partial lengths of the lap belt, so that the abutment for the partial lengths of the lap belt and the partial lengths of the crotch omitted and the pilot easily from the Pilot seat can separate.
- the invention is - based on the prior art - the task of creating a harness for racing cars, in which the described disadvantages of the known embodiments can be avoided.
- the crotch straps are now held directly by the partial lengths of the lap belt.
- the portions of the lap straps adjacent ends of the crotch straps are provided with loops which are pushed over the belt tongues at the partial lengths before the insertion of the belt tongues. Subsequently, the belt tongues of the partial lengths can be inserted into the corresponding receptacles in the belt buckle and latched there.
- An advantage of this arrangement is that the belt tongues of the shoulder straps do not need to be lengthened and, consequently, cause no more inconvenience to a driver of a formula vehicle. Also, the direct flow of force from the shoulder straps on the belt buckle and the belt tongues of the partial lengths of the lap belt is ensured in the crotch straps. The driver can be properly fixed to his seat, so that even in the event of an accident inadmissible acceleration of the head and chest can not occur. Furthermore, the crotch straps can be properly guided along the thighs, so that the risk of genital injuries can be excluded. An impairment of the function of the belt buckle, especially after an accident, is excluded in principle.
- the belt tongues of the partial lengths of the lap belt can be inserted fixed in position in the belt fastener. This avoids that the belt tongues in the circumferential direction, that is parallel to the body surface, can rotate relative to the belt buckle. This measure of the position fixation of the belt tongues allows the direct transmission of power from the shoulder straps into the crotch straps.
- the belt tongues of the partial lengths of the lap belt have a triangular shape Configuration on and the recordings in the belt buckle are adapted to this configuration. Since leverage results from the offset of the introduction of force through the shoulder straps and the force transmission through the crotch straps during an accident, the belt buckle is designed together with the belt tongues of the partial lengths of the lap belt so that the recordings in the belt buckle can absorb the lever forces occurring properly.
- the position of the loops of the crotch straps on the belt tongues of the partial lengths of the lap belt is ensured by the fact that the belt tongues between the free detent ends, which are inserted into the belt buckle, and the fastenings of the partial lengths are stepped. An inadmissible slipping of the loops in the direction of the belt closure is thereby avoided.
- crotch straps are at least one of the thorax extending through the bar tangential following below the driver or possibly further back to fix.
- the crotch straps according to the invention are designed so that, starting from an imaginary center line, which runs vertically through the closure, the loops are connected at an angle of ⁇ 180 ° with the crotch straps.
- the crotch straps lie flat on the thighs.
- these should not be attached to a transversely mounted to the direction anchorage, but at a distance to be defined on two individual, longitudinally aligned to the vehicle anchors. As a result, the flat crotch is further supported.
- the pelvic tongue tongues according to the invention are therefore designed in their partial lengths so that the loops slipping away from the closure catch themselves on the tongues, even if all the belt parts are under a bias.
- FIG. 1 denotes a harness belt in FIG. 1, which is intended for a driver of a racing vehicle (formula vehicle).
- This harness belt 1 comprises two shoulder straps 2, a two-part lap belt 3 and two crotch straps 4, of which the shoulder straps 2 and the partial lengths 5 of the lap belt 3 are brought together in a belt closure 7 located centrally in front of the body 6 of the vehicle occupant.
- the shoulder straps 2 belt tongues 8.
- the partial lengths 5 of the lap belt 3 have belt tongues 9 with triangularly configured detent ends 10 which can be inserted into the seat belt closure 7 in receptacles 11 adapted to this configuration. Due to this design, a relative movement of the belt tongues 9 of the partial lengths 5 in the circumferential direction according to the double arrow 12 relative to the belt closure 7 is excluded.
- the belt tongues 9 of the partial lengths 5 are formed in the region 13 between the locking ends 10 and the fasteners 14 of the belt tongues 9 at the partial lengths 5 in the direction of the fasteners 14 down towards leaning. Due to this slimming reduces the risk that end loops 15 of the crotch straps 4 from the belt tongues 9 during the insertion completely or partially slide down.
- the belt tongues 9 of the partial lengths 5 are in the region of the attachment 14 by extensions 16 designed so that the belt tongues 9 are sewn into the ends 17 of the partial lengths 5 of the lap belt 3 largely tilted and secured against rotation.
- the belt tongues 9 of the partial lengths 5 are provided in the region of the fastenings 14 with recessed grips 18 in order to facilitate the insertion of the detent ends 10 into the belt fastener 7.
- the belt tongues 9 are designed to reduce weight with openings 19, wherein the openings 19 in the region of the fasteners 14 are ideally adapted to the profile of the maximum bending forces expected in the fasteners 14.
- the regions 13 of the belt tongues 9 are therefore overlapped loosely by the loops 15, which are connected at the obtuse angle ⁇ with the ends 20 of the crotch near the ends 4, in particular sewn.
- the connection area is designated 21.
- FIG. 1 shows only a partial length 5 of the lap belt 3 with the associated belt tongue 9 and a crotch strap 4 with a loop 15.
- the second part 5 of the lap belt 3 and the second crotch strap 4 with loop 15 have been shown with the exception of the belt tongue 9 to simplify the drawing only in dash-dotted lines.

Abstract
Description
Die Erfindung betrifft einen Hosenträgergurt für Rennwagen gemäß den Merkmalen im Oberbegriff des Patentanspruchs 1.The invention relates to a harness for racing cars according to the features in the preamble of
Hosenträgergurte sind Personenrückhaltesysteme, welche insbesondere beim Einsatz in Rennwagen einen geteilten Beckengurt, zwei Schultergurte und zwei Schrittgurte aufweisen, die direkt oder indirekt an einem zentralen Gurtverschluss zusammenführbar sind (Angebotsliste der Schroth Safety Products GmbH, Im Ohl 14, 50714 Arnsberg "Weight and Price Comparison for Open Wheel Racing Harnesses").Harness straps are personal restraint systems which, especially when used in racing cars, have a split lap belt, two shoulder straps and two crotch straps that can be joined directly or indirectly to a central belt buckle (List of offers by Schroth Safety Products GmbH, Im Ohl 14, 50714 Arnsberg "Weight and Price Comparison for Open Wheel Racing Harnesses ").
Die Schrittgurte können hierbei an einem T-förmigen Beschlag befestigt sein (Profi III-6 und Profi II-6), der mit einer Beschlagzunge in eine entsprechende Aufnahme des Gurtverschlusses von unten her eingesteckt wird. Durch den Abstand der Befestigungen der Schrittgurte an dem T-förmigen Beschlag wird angestrebt, dass die Schrittgurte seitlich an den Schenkeln eines Fahrers anliegen sollen und dadurch die Gefahr von Genitalverletzungen vermieden wird.The crotch straps can be fastened to a T-shaped fitting (Profi III-6 and Profi II-6), with a fitting tongue in a corresponding fitting Insertion of the belt buckle is inserted from below. The distance between the fastenings of the crotch straps on the T-shaped fitting is intended that the crotch straps should rest laterally on the legs of a driver and thereby the risk of genital injury is avoided.
Solche sich vom Gurtverschluss aus nach unten erstreckenden T-förmigen Beschläge können aber nicht immer in der geeignetsten Lage zum Fahrer gehalten werden, so dass ein Kontakt der Enden des T-förmigen Beschlags mit den Oberschenkeln möglich ist. Dies führt nicht nur zu Unbequemlichkeiten, sondern bei einem Unfall gegebenenfalls auch zu Verletzungen, wenn die Beine des Fahrers in der Rückprallphase hoch schleudern. Es ist in diesem Zusammenhang in der Praxis bekannt, dass derartige T-förmige Beschläge sich bei einem Unfall so U-förmig nach oben biegen können, dass der Öffnungshebel des Gurtverschlusses, der entsprechend den Reglementierungen der Rennsportorganisation FIA nach unten zeigen muss, in seiner Bewegungsfreiheit erheblich eingeschränkt wird und der Gurtverschluss sich nicht mehr öffnen lässt.However, such from the buckle downwardly extending T-shaped fittings can not always be kept in the most appropriate position to the driver, so that contact of the ends of the T-shaped fitting with the thighs is possible. This not only leads to inconvenience, but in an accident, possibly also to injuries, when the driver's legs spin in the rebound phase high. It is known in this context in practice that such T-shaped fittings can bend in an accident so U-shaped upwards that the opening lever of the buckle, which must show according to the regulations of the racing organization FIA down, in his freedom of movement is considerably restricted and the belt buckle can not be opened.
Darüber hinaus kann ein solcher T-förmiger Beschlag ein ungehindertes Hindurchgleiten durch dafür vorgesehene Öffnungen an Sitzen behindern, welche als sogenannte "extrication seats" ausgebildet sind. Bei diesen Sitzen bleiben die Fahrer nach einem Unfall an ihnen fixiert, so dass sie zusammen mit den Sitzen stabilisiert und damit wirbelsäulenschonend aus den Rennfahrzeugen heraus gehoben werden können.In addition, such a T-shaped fitting can hinder unhindered sliding through designated openings on seats, which are designed as so-called "extrication seats". In these seats, the drivers remain fixed to them after an accident, so that they can be stabilized together with the seats and thus lifted out of the race cars in a manner that spares the vertebrae.
Zum Stand der Technik zählt ferner eine Ausführungsform eines Hosenträgergurts mit geteiltem Beckengurt, Schultergurten und Schrittgurten (Profi III-6F und Profi II-6F), bei welcher die über die Oberschenkel eines Fahrers verlaufenden Schrittgurte jeweils durch neben den Gurtzungen auf den Teillängen des Beckengurts angebrachte D-förmige Ringe und von diesen Ringen schräg nach oben an dem Gurtverschluss vorbei in den Bereich der Gurtzungen der Schultergurte geführt sind. Die Schrittgurte weisen an ihren verschlussnahen Enden Schlaufen auf, durch welche die Gurtzungen der Schultergurte gesteckt und dann in den Gurtverschluss eingerastet werden können.The state of the art also includes an embodiment of a harness belt with split lap belt, shoulder straps and crotch straps (Profi III-6F and Profi II-6F) in which the crotch straps over the thighs of a driver are respectively attached to the partial lengths of the lap belt by the belt tongues D-shaped rings and from these rings obliquely upwards past the belt buckle are guided in the area of the belt tongues of the shoulder straps. The crotch straps point to their closure close Ends loops through which the belt tongues of the shoulder straps can be inserted and then snapped into the buckle.
Eine solche Ausführungsform ist jedoch mit der Eigenart behaftet, dass die Gurtzungen der Schultergurte mindestens um die Breite der endseitig der Schrittgurte angeordneten Schlaufen länger sein müssen als es zur Verrastung der Schultergurte mit dem Gurtverschluss erforderlich wäre. Derartig lange Gurtzungen sind demzufolge bei der in der Regel gekrümmten Sitzhaltung der Fahrer in Rennfahrzeugen, insbesondere Formelrennfahrzeugen, äußerst unbequem, weil sie auf die unteren Rippenbögen drücken können. Darüber hinaus ist kein direkter Kraftfluss von den Schultergurten über den Gurtverschluss in die Schrittgurte gewährleistet. Vielmehr wird der Gurtverschluss bei einer Lastbeaufschlagung nach oben gezogen. Auch können die Teillängen des Beckengurts relativ zu den über die D-förmigen Ringe umgelenkten Schrittgurten gleiten, wodurch eine korrekte Positionierung eines Fahrers nur bedingt gewährleistet werden kann. Durch das Hochziehen des Gurtverschlusses stellt sich zudem eine Verlängerung der Schultergurte ein mit der Folge, dass zum einen ein Fahrer nicht optimal festgeschnallt und zum anderen im Falle eines Unfalls eine erhöhte Vorverlagerung des Körpers des Fahrers mit der Gefahr eines stärkeren Kopfaufschlags sowie höherer Kopf- und Brustbeschleunigungen nicht vermieden werden kann.However, such an embodiment has the peculiarity that the belt tongues of the shoulder straps must be at least the width of the end of the crotch straps arranged longer than would be required for locking the shoulder straps with the buckle. Such long belt tongues are therefore extremely uncomfortable in the generally curved posture of the driver in racing cars, especially Formula racing cars, because they can press on the lower ribs arches. In addition, no direct power flow from the shoulder straps over the buckle in the crotch straps is guaranteed. Rather, the buckle is pulled at a load application upwards. Also, the partial lengths of the lap belt can slide relative to the over the D-shaped rings deflected crotch straps, whereby a correct positioning of a driver can be guaranteed only conditionally. By pulling up the buckle is also an extension of the shoulder straps, with the result that on the one hand a driver is not optimally strapped and on the other in case of an accident, an increased forward displacement of the driver's body with the risk of a heavier head impact and higher head and Breast acceleration can not be avoided.
Aus der DE-C-1 142 762 geht eine Gurtanordnung für einen Flugzeugsitz hervor, und zwar insbesondere für einen Pilotensitz. Dies unter besonderer Beachtung des Sachverhalts, dass der Pilot diverse räumliche Lagen mit dem Flugzeug einnehmen kann sowie unter Beachtung des weiteren Sachverhalts, dass sich der Pilot von der Gurtanordnung dann trennen können muss, wenn er mit dem Pilotensitz aus dem Flugzeug heraus geschleudert wird und anschließend über weitere Gurte an einem Fallschirm hängend sicher zur Erde getragen werden soll. Ferner soll der Pilot das auf dem Boden stehende Flugzeug normal verlassen können.From DE-C-1 142 762 a belt arrangement for an aircraft seat is apparent, in particular for a pilot's seat. This with particular attention to the fact that the pilot can take various spatial positions with the aircraft, and taking into account the further facts that the pilot must be able to separate from the belt assembly then when he is thrown with the pilot's seat out of the aircraft and then to be carried securely to the ground via other straps hanging from a parachute. Furthermore, the pilot should be able to leave the aircraft standing on the ground normally.
Zu diesem Zweck weist die Gurtanordnung zwei Teillängen eines Beckengurts auf, die über Gurtzungen mit dem Gurtverschluss zusammengefügt und von diesem auch wieder getrennt werden können.For this purpose, the belt arrangement has two partial lengths of a lap belt, which can be joined together by means of belt tongues with the belt buckle and also separated therefrom.
Die den Gurtzungen abgewandten Enden der Teillängen sind über weitere Gurtzungen durch vertikale Schlitze von an dem Pilotensitz befestigten Konsolen gesteckt. Auf der Rückseite dieser Konsolen werden Bolzen durch Bohrungen in den Gurtzungen geführt, so dass die Gurtzungen an den Konsolen festgelegt sind. Die Bolzen können manuell oder automatisch von den Gurtzungen getrennt werden, wenn der Pilotensitz mit dem Piloten aus dem Flugzeug katapultiert wird.The belt tongues facing away from the ends of the partial lengths are inserted over other belt tongues through vertical slots of attached to the pilot seat brackets. On the back of these consoles bolts are guided through holes in the belt tongues, so that the belt tongues are fixed to the consoles. The bolts can be manually or automatically disconnected from the belt tongues when the pilot's seat is catapulted with the pilot out of the aircraft.
Über die Gurtzungen sind Schlaufen geschoben, welche endseitige Bestandteile von Teillängen eines insgesamt Y-förmigen Schrittgurts bilden. Die über die Konsolen umgelenkten Teillängen werden zwischen dem Gesäß des Piloten und der Oberseite des Pilotensitzes zu einem sich parallel zur Vorderseite des Pilotensitzes in einer Aussparung erstreckenden runden Führungselement geleitet, von dem aus sich nur noch ein Schaftteil zwischen den Schenkeln des Piloten schräg rückwärts zum Gurtverschluss erstreckt. In der Aussparung liegt auch ein Handhebel zum Auslösen des Schleudermechanismusses.Loops are pushed over the belt tongues, which form end components of partial lengths of an overall Y-shaped crotch strap. The deflected over the brackets part lengths are passed between the buttocks of the pilot and the top of the pilot seat to a parallel to the front of the pilot seat in a recess extending round guide element from which only a shaft portion between the legs of the pilot obliquely backwards to the buckle extends. In the recess is also a hand lever for triggering the Schleudermechanismusses.
Bei der Ausführungsform der Figur 4 ist das Schaftteil über eine Gurtzunge direkt mit dem Gurtverschluss koppelbar.In the embodiment of FIG. 4, the shaft part can be coupled directly to the belt fastener via a belt tongue.
Bei der Ausführungsform der Figuren 2 und 3 sind an dem kurz vor dem Gurtverschluss liegenden Ende des Schaftteils zwei Schlaufen in V-förmiger Konfiguration vorgesehen, welche über die Enden der Teillängen des Beckengurts geschoben werden. Danach können die Gurtzungen mit dem Gurtverschluss gekoppelt werden.In the embodiment of FIGS. 2 and 3, two loops in a V-shaped configuration are provided at the end of the shaft part located just before the belt buckle, which loops are pushed over the ends of the partial lengths of the lap belt. Thereafter, the belt tongues can be coupled with the belt buckle.
Der Aufbau der bekannten Gurtanordnung ist mithin den Anforderungen eines Piloten angepasst, der einerseits bei allen Flugzeuglagen und Bewegungen einwandfrei auf dem Pilotensitz gehalten werden soll, andererseits jedoch sich ohne weiteres vom Pilotensitz trennen kann, wenn er das Flugzeug normal verlässt bzw. wenn er sich in einem Notfall in der Luft nach dem Herauskatapultieren des Pilotensitzes aus dem Flugzeug vom Pilotensitz trennen muss.The structure of the known belt arrangement is therefore adapted to the requirements of a pilot who is to be kept properly on the one hand in all aircraft situations and movements on the pilot's seat, on the other hand, however can easily disconnect from the pilot's seat when he leaves the aircraft normally or when he must be in an emergency in the air after dropping the pilot's seat off the plane from the pilot's seat.
Verlässt der Pilot normal das am Boden stehende Flugzeug, so braucht er lediglich den Gurtverschluss zu öffnen, so dass die Schultergurte, die Teillängen des Beckengurts und der Schrittgurt vom Körper des Piloten abfallen.If the pilot normally leaves the aircraft on the ground, he only needs to open the belt buckle so that the shoulder straps, the partial lengths of the lap belt and the crotch strap fall off the pilot's body.
Im Notfall, das heißt beim Herauskatapultieren des Pilotensitzes aus dem Flugzeug werden die Bolzen manuell oder automatisch von den Gurtzungen der Teillängen des Beckengurts getrennt, so dass die Widerlager für die Teillängen des Beckengurts und für die Teillängen des Schrittgurts entfallen und der Pilot sich ohne weiteres vom Pilotensitz trennen kann.In an emergency, that is when herauskatapultieren the pilot's seat from the aircraft, the bolts are manually or automatically separated from the belt tongues of the partial lengths of the lap belt, so that the abutment for the partial lengths of the lap belt and the partial lengths of the crotch omitted and the pilot easily from the Pilot seat can separate.
Während der diversen Flugzeugbewegungen in der Luft werden im wesentlichen solche Beschleunigungen auf den Pilotensitz und damit auch auf den Piloten ausgeübt, die den Piloten auf den Pilotensitz drücken. Das heißt mit anderen Worten ausgedrückt, dass bei diesen Flugzeugbewegungen keine nennenswerten nach vorne gerichteten Relativbewegungen des Piloten zum Pilotensitz erfolgen. Aus diesem Grunde ist nur ein einziger Schrittgurt vorgesehen, welcher gemäß der Ausführungsform der Figuren 2 und 3 erst kurz vor dem Gurtverschluss in zwei Schlaufen übergeht, welche die verschlussnahen Enden der Teillängen des Beckengurts umgreifen. Dabei ist es von Bedeutung, dass die Schlaufen zum Schaft des Schrittgurts - in Richtung zum Gurtverschluss gesehen - unter einem Winkel α angeordnet sind, der größer als 180° ist.During the various aircraft movements in the air, essentially such accelerations are exerted on the pilot's seat and thus also on the pilot who presses the pilot on the pilot's seat. In other words, in these words, no appreciable forward relative movements of the pilot to the pilot's seat occur during these aircraft movements. For this reason, only a single crotch strap is provided, which passes according to the embodiment of Figures 2 and 3 only shortly before the buckle in two loops, which surround the close to the ends of the partial lengths of the lap belt. It is important that the loops to the shaft of the crotch - seen in the direction of the buckle - are arranged at an angle α, which is greater than 180 °.
Ferner ist zu erkennen, und zwar insbesondere anhand der Figuren 2, 3 und 4, dass der Schaft des Schrittgurts flächig zwischen den Schenkeln des Piloten nach oben und schräg rückwärts zum Gurtverschluss geführt wird.Furthermore, it can be seen, in particular with reference to Figures 2, 3 and 4, that the shaft of the crotch is guided flat between the legs of the pilot upwards and obliquely backwards to the buckle.
Der Erfindung liegt - ausgehend vom Stand der Technik - die Aufgabe zugrunde, einen Hosenträgergurt für Rennfahrzeuge zu schaffen, bei welchem die geschilderten Nachteile der bekannten Ausführungsformen vermieden werden.The invention is - based on the prior art - the task of creating a harness for racing cars, in which the described disadvantages of the known embodiments can be avoided.
Diese Aufgabe wird nach der Erfindung mit den Merkmalen im kennzeichnenden Teil des Patentanspruchs 1 gelöst.This object is achieved according to the invention with the features in the characterizing part of
Demgemäß werden die Schrittgurte nunmehr direkt durch die Teillängen der Beckengurte gehalten. Dazu sind die den Teillängen der Beckengurte benachbarten Enden der Schrittgurte mit Schlaufen versehen, welche vor dem Einführen der Gurtzungen an den Teillängen über die Gurtzungen geschoben werden. Anschließend können die Gurtzungen der Teillängen in die entsprechenden Aufnahmen im Gurtverschluss eingesteckt und dort verrastet werden.Accordingly, the crotch straps are now held directly by the partial lengths of the lap belt. For this purpose, the portions of the lap straps adjacent ends of the crotch straps are provided with loops which are pushed over the belt tongues at the partial lengths before the insertion of the belt tongues. Subsequently, the belt tongues of the partial lengths can be inserted into the corresponding receptacles in the belt buckle and latched there.
Ein Vorteil dieser Anordnung ist der, dass die Gurtzungen der Schultergurte nicht mehr verlängert werden müssen und demzufolge auch keine Unbequemlichkeiten mehr bei einem Fahrer eines Formelfahrzeugs hervorrufen. Auch ist der direkte Kraftfluss von den Schultergurten über den Gurtverschluss und die Gurtzungen der Teillängen des Beckengurts in die Schrittgurte gewährleistet. Der Fahrer kann einwandfrei an seinem Sitz fixiert werden, so dass auch im Falle eines Unfalls eine unzulässige Beschleunigung des Kopfs und der Brust nicht eintreten kann. Weiterhin können die Schrittgurte einwandfrei entlang der Oberschenkel geführt werden, so dass auch die Gefahr von Genitalverletzungen ausgeschlossen werden kann. Eine Beeinträchtigung der Funktion des Gurtverschlusses, insbesondere nach einem Unfall, ist im Prinzip ausgeschlossen.An advantage of this arrangement is that the belt tongues of the shoulder straps do not need to be lengthened and, consequently, cause no more inconvenience to a driver of a formula vehicle. Also, the direct flow of force from the shoulder straps on the belt buckle and the belt tongues of the partial lengths of the lap belt is ensured in the crotch straps. The driver can be properly fixed to his seat, so that even in the event of an accident inadmissible acceleration of the head and chest can not occur. Furthermore, the crotch straps can be properly guided along the thighs, so that the risk of genital injuries can be excluded. An impairment of the function of the belt buckle, especially after an accident, is excluded in principle.
Wesentlich an der Erfindung ist ferner, dass die Gurtzungen der Teillängen des Beckengurts lagefixiert in den Gurtverschluss einsteckbar sind. Hiermit wird vermieden, dass sich die Gurtzungen in Umfangsrichtung, das heißt parallel zur Körperoberfläche, relativ zum Gurtverschluss verdrehen können. Diese Maßnahme der Lagefixierung der Gurtzungen erlaubt die direkte Kraftdurchleitung von den Schultergurten in die Schrittgurte.It is also essential to the invention that the belt tongues of the partial lengths of the lap belt can be inserted fixed in position in the belt fastener. This avoids that the belt tongues in the circumferential direction, that is parallel to the body surface, can rotate relative to the belt buckle. This measure of the position fixation of the belt tongues allows the direct transmission of power from the shoulder straps into the crotch straps.
Die Gurtzungen der Teillängen des Beckengurts weisen eine dreieckförmige Konfiguration auf und die Aufnahmen im Gurtverschluss sind dieser Konfiguration angepasst. Da sich während eines Unfalls Hebeleffekte durch den Versatz der Krafteinleitung durch die Schultergurte und der Kraftableitung durch die Schrittgurte ergeben, ist der Gurtverschluss zusammen mit den Gurtzungen der Teillängen der Beckengurte so gestaltet, dass die Aufnahmen im Gurtverschluss die auftretenden Hebelkräfte einwandfrei aufnehmen können.The belt tongues of the partial lengths of the lap belt have a triangular shape Configuration on and the recordings in the belt buckle are adapted to this configuration. Since leverage results from the offset of the introduction of force through the shoulder straps and the force transmission through the crotch straps during an accident, the belt buckle is designed together with the belt tongues of the partial lengths of the lap belt so that the recordings in the belt buckle can absorb the lever forces occurring properly.
Die Lage der Schlaufen der Schrittgurte auf den Gurtzungen der Teillängen der Beckengurte wird dadurch gesichert, dass die Gurtzungen zwischen den freien Rastenden, die in den Gurtverschluss eingeführt werden, und den Befestigungen der Teillängen gestuft ausgebildet sind. Ein unzulässiges Verrutschen der Schlaufen in Richtung zum Gurtverschluss wird dadurch vermieden.The position of the loops of the crotch straps on the belt tongues of the partial lengths of the lap belt is ensured by the fact that the belt tongues between the free detent ends, which are inserted into the belt buckle, and the fastenings of the partial lengths are stepped. An inadmissible slipping of the loops in the direction of the belt closure is thereby avoided.
Bei auf die Gurtzungen der Teillängen der Beckengurte aufgeschobenen Schlaufen der Schrittgurte besteht bislangdie Gefahr, dass die Gurtzungen sich nach unten verdrehen und damit die Schlaufen herunterrutschen oder die Rastenden nicht oder nur unter erschwerten Bedingungen in den Gurtverschluss eingeführt und verriegelt werden können. Dieser Nachteil wird jetzt dadurch verhindert, dass die Gurtzungen so gestaltet werden, dass sie gut und lagestabil ergriffen werden können und zusätzlich durch entsprechende Formgebung die Schlaufen auf den Zungen gehalten werden. Dies ist vornehmlich dadurch erreichbar, dass sich die Gurtzungen verschlussabgewandt verjüngen. Dies hat auch den Vorteil, dass im Belastungsfalle die Gurtschlaufen tendenziell vom Gurtverschluss weg gezogen werden und nicht mit dem Gurtverschluss in Interaktion treten.When pushed onto the belt tongues of the partial lengths of the lap straps loops of the crotch straps so far there is the danger that the belt tongues turn down and thus slip down the loops or the detents can not be inserted or locked under difficult conditions in the Gurtverschluss and locked. This disadvantage is now prevented by the fact that the belt tongues are designed so that they can be taken well and stable in position and additionally held by appropriate shaping the loops on the tongues. This is primarily achievable by the fact that the belt tongues tapers away from the closure. This also has the advantage that in the event of load, the belt loops tend to be pulled away from the belt buckle and do not interact with the belt buckle.
Bei einem Unfall mit einem Rennwagen wird von erheblichen longitudinalen Verzögerungen ausgegangen, während derer der Fahrer nach vorn in die Gurte rutscht. Dadurch werden der Beckengurt, die Schultergurte und indirekt dadurch auch die Schrittgurte belastet. Aus diesem Grunde besteht der Wunsch nach flach auf den Oberschenkeln liegenden 2-bändrigen, separierten Schrittgurten, um diese zum Schutz der Genitalien in die Leisten wandern zu lassen.In an accident with a race car, considerable longitudinal delays are expected, during which the driver slips forward into the belts. As a result, the lap belt, the shoulder straps and indirectly thereby the crotch straps are charged. For this reason, there is a desire for lying flat on the thighs 2-band, separate crotch straps to allow these to migrate to protect the genitals in the groins.
Weiterhin sind solche Schrittgurte mindestens einer vom Brustkorb durch die Leiste verlaufenden Tangentialen folgend unterhalb des Fahrers oder eventuell weiter nach hinten laufend zu befestigen.Furthermore, such crotch straps are at least one of the thorax extending through the bar tangential following below the driver or possibly further back to fix.
Aus diesem Grunde sind die erfindungsgemäßen Schrittgurte so gestaltet, dass, ausgehend von einer gedachten Mittellinie, die senkrecht durch den Verschluss läuft, die Schlaufen unter einem Winkel von < 180° mit den Schrittgurten verbunden sind. Durch diese Anordnung ergibt sich, dass die Schrittgurte flach auf den Oberschenkeln liegen. Weiterhin sollen diese nicht an einer quer zur Fahrtrichtung angebrachten Verankerung befestigt werden, sondern unter einem zu definierenden Abstand an zwei individuellen, longitudinal zum Fahrzeug ausgerichteten Verankerungen. Dadurch wird der flache Schrittgurtverlauf nochmals unterstützt.For this reason, the crotch straps according to the invention are designed so that, starting from an imaginary center line, which runs vertically through the closure, the loops are connected at an angle of <180 ° with the crotch straps. By this arrangement it follows that the crotch straps lie flat on the thighs. Furthermore, these should not be attached to a transversely mounted to the direction anchorage, but at a distance to be defined on two individual, longitudinally aligned to the vehicle anchors. As a result, the flat crotch is further supported.
Im Rennwagen ist ein stramm angezogener Gurt von entscheidender Bedeutung für seine Rückhaltefunktion. Dies gilt auch für die Schrittgurte. Die erfindungsgemäßen Beckengurtzungen sind daher in ihren Teillängen so ausgebildet, dass die Schlaufen vom Verschluss weg rutschend sich auf den Zungen fangen, selbst wenn alle Gurtteile unter einer Vorspannung stehen.In racing cars, a tight-fitting harness is crucial for its retention function. This also applies to the crotch straps. The pelvic tongue tongues according to the invention are therefore designed in their partial lengths so that the loops slipping away from the closure catch themselves on the tongues, even if all the belt parts are under a bias.
Gerade bei Vorspannung der Schrittgurte besteht die Gefahr, dass sich die Beckengurtzungen beim Versuch sie mit den Schrittgurten in den Verschluss einzustecken, nach unten wegdrehen und damit die Schlaufen von den Beckengurtzungen herunterrutschen. Aus diesem Grund sind die Beckengurtzungen in den Enden der Teillängen eingenäht, so dass sie sich nicht oder nur unter erhöhtem Kraftaufwand wegdrehen können.Especially when biasing the crotch straps there is a risk that the pelvic straps when trying to plug them with the crotch straps in the closure, turn down and thus slip down the loops of the pelvic belt tongues. For this reason, the lap belt tongues are sewn in the ends of the partial lengths, so that they can not turn away or only with increased force.
Mit den Merkmalen des Patentanspruchs 2 kann das Einschieben der Rastenden der Gurtzungen in den Gurtverschluss erheblich erleichtert werden.With the features of claim 2, the insertion of the locking ends of the belt tongues can be considerably facilitated in the belt buckle.
Die Erfindung ist nachfolgend anhand eines in den Zeichnungen dargestellten Ausführungsbeispiels näher erläutert. Es zeigen:

- Figure 2 in an enlarged perspective view of a belt buckle with latched belt tongue.
Mit 1 ist in der Figur 1 ein Hosenträgergurt bezeichnet, der für einen Fahrer eines Rennfahrzeugs (Formelfahrzeugs) bestimmt ist.1 denotes a harness belt in FIG. 1, which is intended for a driver of a racing vehicle (formula vehicle).
Dieser Hosenträgergurt 1 umfasst zwei Schultergurte 2, einen zweigeteilten Beckengurt 3 sowie zwei Schrittgurte 4, von denen die Schultergurte 2 und die Teillängen 5 des Beckengurts 3 in einem zentral vor dem Körper 6 des Fahrzeuginsassen liegenden Gurtverschluss 7 zusammengeführt sind. Dazu weisen die Schultergurte 2 Gurtzungen 8 auf.This
Die Teillängen 5 des Beckengurts 3 besitzen Gurtzungen 9 mit dreieckförmig konfigurierten Rastenden 10, welche in an diese Konfiguration angepasste Aufnahmen 11 im Gurtverschluss 7 einführbar sind. Aufgrund dieser Gestaltung ist eine Relativbewegung der Gurtzungen 9 der Teillängen 5 in Umfangsrichtung gemäß dem Doppelpfeil 12 relativ zum Gurtverschluss 7 ausgeschlossen.The
Die Gurtzungen 9 der Teillängen 5 sind im Bereich 13 zwischen den Rastenden 10 und den Befestigungen 14 der Gurtzungen 9 an den Teillängen 5 in Richtung auf die Befestigungen 14 hin sich verschlankend ausgebildet. Aufgrund dieser Verschlankung verringert sich die Gefahr, dass endseitige Schlaufen 15 der Schrittgurte 4 von den Gurtzungen 9 während des Einsteckvorgangs ganz oder teilweise herunterrutschen.The
Die Gurtzungen 9 der Teillängen 5 sind im Bereich der Befestigung 14 durch Verlängerungen 16 so gestaltet, dass die Gurtzungen 9 in die Enden 17 der Teillängen 5 des Beckengurts 3 weitgehend kipp- und verdrehgesichert eingenäht sind.The
Die Gurtzungen 9 der Teillängen 5 sind im Bereich der Befestigungen 14 mit Griffmulden 18 versehen, um das Einschieben der Rastenden 10 in den Gurtverschluss 7 zu erleichtern.The
Ferner sind die Gurtzungen 9 zur Gewichtsreduzierung mit Durchbrüchen 19 ausgebildet, wobei die Durchbrüche 19 im Bereich der Befestigungen 14 in idealer Weise dem Profil der maximalen Biegekräfte, die in den Befestigungen 14 erwartet werden, angepasst sind.Furthermore, the
Darüber hinaus sind die Gurtzungen 9 im Breeich 13 zwischen den Rastenden 10 und den Befestigungen 14, wie in Figur 2 dargestellt, so gestuft ausgebildet, dass die Schlaufen 15 vom Gurtverschluss 7 ferngehalten werden und sich die Gurtzungen 9 nahe an die Kontur des Körpers 6 des Benutzers anlegen.In addition, the
