Description

Technisches GebietTechnical area

Die Erfindung betrifft eine Seilwinde, insbesondere für den Antrieb eines Schirmes gemäss Oberbegriff des Anspruches 1.The invention relates to a winch, in particular for driving a screen according to the preamble of claim 1.

Stand der TechnikState of the art

Seilwinden sind mehrfach bekannt. Bei voll abgewickeltem Seil kann dieses Seil sowohl in der einen wie in der anderen Richtung auf einer Seiltrommel wieder aufgewickelt werden. In bestimmten Fällen kann es jedoch notwendig sein, dass das Seil nur in einer bestimmten Richtung auf der Seiltrommel aufgewickelt werden soll. Bei bekannten Seilwinden ist hierfür ein Rastkranz mit Rastklinken vorgesehen, die das Aufwickeln des Seils in einer Richtung sperren. Zum Abwickeln des Seiles wird bei den bekannten Seilwinden die Rastklinke ausgeschaltet, so dass sie zum Zeitpunkt des Wiederaufwickelns zunächst nicht wirksam ist und erst wieder eingeschaltet werden muss. Wird das Einschalten vergessen, so kann das Aufwickeln des Seiles in entgegengesetzter Richtung erfolgen.Winches are known several times. When fully unwound rope can this rope wound up again on a cable drum both in one direction and the other become. In certain cases, however, it may be necessary for the Rope can only be wound up in a certain direction on the rope drum should. In known winches this is a latching ring provided with latches, which block the winding of the rope in one direction. To unwind the Rope is turned off in the known winches, the latch, so that it is not effective at the time of rewinding and only again must be turned on. If the switch-on forgotten, that can Winding the rope done in the opposite direction.

In EP-A-1 279 350 ist eine Seilwinde vorgeschlagen worden, bei der eine Rastvorrichtung mit einer lösbaren Bremsvorrichtung kombiniert ist, die durch eine Handkurbel der Seilwinde bedienbar sind. Voraussetzung für die richtige Funktion ist jedoch, dass die Rastvorrichtung nicht von Hand lösbar ist, sondem das Umschalten von der Rastvorrichtung zur Bremsvorrichtung und umgekehrt durch die Drehrichtung der Handkurbel bestimmt wird. Voraussetzung ist auch, dass das Seil in der richtigen Richtung auf die Seiltrommel aufgewickelt wird, was jedoch nicht automatisch gewährleistet ist.In EP-A-1 279 350 a winch is proposed in which a locking device with a releasable braking device combined, which are operated by a winch winch. requirement for the correct function, however, is that the locking device is not from Hand is solvable, but the switching from the locking device to the braking device and vice versa is determined by the direction of rotation of the hand crank. Condition is also that the rope in the right direction on the rope drum is wound up, which is not guaranteed automatically.

Eine Seilwinde gemäß dem oberbegriff des Anspruchs 1 ist aus US-B-6 196 242 bekannt.A winch according to the preamble of claim 1 is known from US-B-6,196,242.

Darstellung der ErfindungPresentation of the invention

Aufgabe der Erfindung ist es, eine Seilwinde so auszubilden, dass eine falsche Wickelrichtung des Seiles auf der Seiltrommel selbsttätig unterbunden wird. The object of the invention is to design a winch so that a wrong Winding direction of the rope is automatically prevented on the cable drum.

Die Aufgabe wird erfindungsgemäss gelöst durch die kennzeichnenden Merkmale des Anspruches 1.The object is achieved according to the invention by the characterizing features of claim 1.

Dadurch, dass die Seilwinde mit einem Taster ausgerüstet ist, der bei abgewickeltem Seil auf die Einlaufrichtung des Seiles oder die Wickelung des Seiles auf der Seiltrommel anspricht, und der mit einem Sperrglied in Verbindung steht, welches bei falscher Wickelrichtung mit einem der Seiltrommel zugeordneten, die falsche Wickelrichtung sperrenden Anschlag zusammenwirkt, ist selbsttätig sichergestellt, dass das Aufwickeln des Seiles stets in richtiger Richtung erfolgt.Due to the fact that the winch is equipped with a pushbutton which when unwound Rope on the inlet direction of the rope or the winding of the rope on the rope Cable drum responsive, and which is in communication with a locking member, which in the wrong winding direction associated with a cable drum, the wrong Cooperating locking stop cooperates, is automatically ensured that the winding of the rope always takes place in the right direction.

Vorteilhafte Ausgestaltungen der Seilwinde sind in den Ansprüchen 2 bis 13 definiert.Advantageous embodiments of the winch are defined in claims 2 to 13.

Gemäss Anspruch 2 kann der Taster in Sperrstellung vorgespannt sein. Gemäss Anspruch 3 ist auch eine Ausgestaltung möglich, bei der der Taster in Freistellung vorgespannt ist. Grundsätzlich ist es möglich, dass der Taster nur punktuell an der Seiltrommel wirksam ist, vorteilhafter ist jedoch eine Ausbildung nach Anspruch 4, wonach der Taster ortsfest und über die ganze Länge der Seiltrommel angeordnet ist.According to claim 2, the button may be biased in the blocking position. According to Claim 3, an embodiment is possible in which the button in exemption is biased. Basically, it is possible that the button only at the point Cable drum is effective, but more advantageous is an embodiment according to claim 4, then the button fixed and arranged over the entire length of the cable drum is.

Besonders bevorzugt ist eine Ausgestaltung nach Anspruch 5, wonach der Taster beidseits jeweils an einem Arm einer zweiarmigen Wippe angeordnet ist, die um eine Achse verschwenkbar angeordnet ist, welche parallel zur Achse der Seiltrommel und mit radialem Abstand von dieser angeordnet ist. Das Sperrglied ist dann am anderen Arm der Wippe vorgesehen. Diese Seilwinde spricht auf die Einlaufrichtung des Seiles an. Hierzu ist es zweckmässig, wenn die Seilwinde nach Anspruch 6 weitergebildet ist und die Achse der Wippe als eine die Seiltrommel übergreifende Führungsstange ausgestaltet ist, die dem Seil eine bestimmte Führung verleiht und das Ansprechen des Tasters verbessert.Particularly preferred is an embodiment according to claim 5, after which the button on both sides in each case on an arm of a two-armed rocker is arranged around an axis is arranged pivotably, which is parallel to the axis of the cable drum and is arranged at a radial distance from this. The locking member is then provided on the other arm of the rocker. This winch speaks to the inlet direction of the rope. For this purpose, it is expedient if the winch after Claim 6 is further developed and the axis of the rocker as a cable drum cross-shaped guide rod is designed, which gives the rope a certain leadership and improves the response of the button.

Der Anspruch 7 beschreibt eine alternative Ausgestaltung des Tasters, wobei dieser als ein in Richtung der Oberfläche der Seiltrommel vorgespannter Schieber ausgestaltet ist, an dem das Sperrglied angeordnet ist. Das Sperrglied läuft bei falscher Drehrichtung der Seiltrommel gegen den Anschlag an. Bei richtiger Drehrichtung spricht der Taster auf die Seilwindung an und hebt das Sperrglied aus dem Sperrbereich des Anschlages aus.The claim 7 describes an alternative embodiment of the probe, this as a slider biased toward the surface of the cable drum is configured, on which the locking member is arranged. The locking member starts at Wrong direction of rotation of the cable drum against the stop. With correct direction of rotation The button responds to the cable winding and lifts the locking member the blocking area of the stop.

Besondere Vorteile der Seilwinde ergeben sich insbesondere dann, wenn die Seilwinde nach Anspruch 8 mit einer lösbaren Rastvorrichtung und einer lösbaren Bremsvorrichtung ausgestattet ist, die miteinander kombiniert und durch die Handkurbel bedienbar sind. Eine besonders geeignete Ausgestaltung dieser kombinierten Rastvorrichtung und Bremsvorrichtung ist in den Ansprüchen 9 bis 13 definiert.Particular advantages of the winch arise especially when the Winch according to claim 8 with a detachable locking device and a detachable Brake device is equipped, which combines with each other and through the Hand crank are operated. A particularly suitable embodiment of this combined Locking device and brake device is in the claims 9 to 13 Are defined.

The umbrella pole 18 includes a first lower one Stick portion 20 which is connected to the slider 6, wherein it is in an opening of the Slider 16 used and secured by a fuse 21 against slipping is. At the lower end of the stick part a winch 22 is arranged, the is operated by a hand crank 24. Next, the umbrella pole 18 includes a second upper floor part 26 which is connected to the crown 8. When closed Shield according to FIG. 1 are the first floor part 20 and the second floor part 26 separated from each other and connected only via a cable 28 of the winch 22. When the umbrella is open, the stick parts 20 and 26 are connected via a coupling device 30 connected together, as shown in Figures 2 and 3 evident. The coupling device 30 is formed by a profiled Pin 32 on one of the floor parts 20, with a socket 34 of the other Stick member 26 cooperates, wherein the socket with a corresponding counter-profile 36 is equipped to a non-rotatable connection between the floor parts 20, 26 to achieve. The rope 28 is through the hollow shaped stick parts 20, 26 is guided substantially coaxially to the axis 35 and on the inside of the Bush 34 of the coupling device 30 by means of a seal 37 or a node attached.

Der erste Stockteil 20 weist die Seilwinde 22 mit der Handkurbel 24 auf. Ferner ist der erste Stockteil 20 mit einem ringartigen Haltegriff 38 ausgestattet, der sich quer zur Achse der Seilwinde 22 nach unten erstreckt und am Gehäuse 40 der Seilwinde angeformt ist. Im vorliegenden Beispiel sind der erste Stockteil 20, das Gehäuse 40 der Seilwinde 22 und der ringartige Haltegriff 38 einstückig ausgestaltet und sie werden aus zwei Formhälften 42a und 42b gebildet, die in einer vertikalen Mittelebene 44 aneinanderliegen, welche quer zur Achse der Seilwinde 22 ausgerichtet ist.The first floor part 20 has the winch 22 with the hand crank 24. Further is the first floor part 20 is provided with a ring-like handle 38 which extends extends transversely to the axis of the winch 22 down and on the housing 40 of the Winch is molded. In the present example, the first floor part 20, the Housing 40 of the winch 22 and the ring-like handle 38 designed in one piece and they are formed from two mold halves 42a and 42b which are in a vertical Center plane 44 abut, which transverse to the axis of the winch 22nd is aligned.

Die Seilwinde 22 wird gebildet aus der Handkurbel 24, die an einer Achse 46 befestigt ist, welche in einer Seiltrommel 48 gelagert ist. Die Seiltrommel ihrerseits ist in Lagerplatten 50a, 50b des Gehäuses 40 gelagert. Die Seiltrommel dient zum Auf- und Abwickeln des Seiles 28. Die Seilwinde 22 ist mit einer Rastvorrichtung 52 ausgestattet, um das Schirmgestell und damit den Schirm in geöffnetem Zustand zu halten. Diese Rastvorrichtung ist mit einer Bremsvorrichtung 54 kombiniert, die ein kontrolliertes Schliessen des Schirmes ermöglicht.The winch 22 is formed from the hand crank 24 which is attached to an axle 46 is, which is mounted in a cable drum 48. The cable drum is in turn stored in bearing plates 50a, 50b of the housing 40. The cable drum serves for Winding and unwinding of the rope 28. The winch 22 is provided with a locking device 52 equipped to the umbrella frame and thus the screen in the open state to keep. This locking device is combined with a braking device 54, which allows a controlled closure of the screen.

Die Rastvorrichtung 52 besteht aus einem auf der Seiltrommel 48 frei drehbaren Rastkranz 56, an dem eine Klinke 58 angreift, die im Gehäuse 40 gelagert ist und mittels einer Feder 60 gegen den Rastkranz vorgespannt ist. Die Achse 46 steht über einen Flansch 62 und eine Bremsscheibe 64 an dem Rastkranz 56 an. Die koaxial in einer Öffnung 66 der Seiltrommel 48 angeordnete Achse 46 ist über eine Gewindeverbindung mit dieser verbunden und weist hierzu ein Aussengewinde 68 auf, das mit einem Innengewinde 70 der Öffnung 66 der Seiltrommel zusammenwirkt. The latching device 52 consists of a freely rotatable on the cable drum 48 Latching ring 56 to which a pawl 58 engages, which is mounted in the housing 40 and is biased by a spring 60 against the locking ring. The axis 46 is via a flange 62 and a brake disc 64 on the latching ring 56 at. The Coaxially disposed in an opening 66 of the cable drum 48 axis 46 is connected via a Threaded connection connected to this and has for this purpose an external thread 68, which cooperates with an internal thread 70 of the opening 66 of the cable drum.

Die Funktionsweise der Seilwinde 22 mit der Rastvorrichtung 52 und der Bremsvorrichtung 54 ist wie folgt:The operation of the winch 22 with the latching device 52 and the braking device 54 is as follows:

Wird die Handkurbel 24 zum Öffnen des Schirmes im Uhrzeigersinn gedreht, so wird das Aussengewinde 68 der Achse 46 weiter in das Innengewinde 70 der durch den Zug des Seiles 28 gebremsten Seiltrommel 48 eingeschraubt, wodurch der Flansch 62 der Achse 46 die Bremsscheibe 64 gegen den Rastkranz 56 presst und diesen auf der Seiltrommel 48 fixiert. Dadurch wird die Handkurbel 24 mit der Seiltrommel 48 verbunden und das Seil 28 kann aufgewickelt werden, wobei die Rastklinke 58 am Rastkranz 56 ein Zurückdrehen der verkuppelten Seiltrommel verhindert. Soll der Schirm geschlossen werden, so wird die Handkurbel 24 im Gegenuhrzeigersinn bewegt, wodurch die Achse 46 über das Aussengewinde 68 aus der Seiltrommel 48 herausgeschraubt wird und sich die Pressung des Flansches 62 an der Bremsscheibe 64 im Sinne einer Rutschkupplung lockert. Sobald die Bremskraft der Bremsscheibe 64 kleiner wird als die Zugkraft des Seils 28 an der Seiltrommel 48 ist die Wirkung der Rastvorrichtung 52 ausgeschaltet und das Seil 28 beginnt von der Seiltrommel 48 abzulaufen. Wird die Handkurbel 24 angehalten, so bewirkt die Zugkraft des Seiles ein Weiterdrehen der Seiltrommel 48 und damit ein Festziehen des Aussengewindes 68 und des Innengewindes 70, wodurch sich die Bremskraft an der Bremsscheibe 64 vergrössert bis die Seiltrommel 48 zum Stillstand kommt. Erst durch erneutes Zurückdrehen der Handkurbel 24 im Gegenuhrzeigersinn kann das Abrollen des Seiles 28 und damit das Schliessen des Schirmes wieder in Gang gesetzt werden. Auf diese Weise ist ein kontrolliertes Schliessen des Schirmes möglich.If the hand crank 24 is rotated to open the screen in a clockwise direction, so is the external thread 68 of the axis 46 further into the internal thread 70 of screwed by the train of rope 28 braked cable drum 48, whereby the flange 62 of the axle 46 presses the brake disk 64 against the latching rim 56 and fixed on the cable drum 48. As a result, the hand crank 24 with the Cable drum 48 connected and the cable 28 can be wound up, the Locking pawl 58 on the ratchet 56 turning back the verkuppelten cable drum prevented. If the screen is to be closed, the hand crank 24 is in Counterclockwise moves, whereby the axis 46 via the external thread 68th is unscrewed from the cable drum 48 and the pressure of the flange 62 loosens on the brake disk 64 in terms of a slip clutch. As soon as the braking force of the brake disk 64 becomes smaller than the tensile force of the cable 28 the cable drum 48, the effect of the latching device 52 is turned off and the Rope 28 begins to drain from the cable drum 48. If the hand crank 24 is stopped, Thus, the tensile force of the rope causes further rotation of the cable drum 48th and thus a tightening of the external thread 68 and the internal thread 70, whereby the braking force on the brake disk 64 increases until the cable drum 48 comes to a standstill. Only by turning back the hand crank again 24 counterclockwise, the unrolling of the rope 28 and thus the Close the umbrella to be started again. This way is a controlled closing of the screen possible.

Für ein rasches Schliessen des Schirmes ist die Seilwinde 22 noch mit einer Freilaufvorhchtung 71 mit einer Frei lauftaste 72 ausgestattet, die auf der der Handkurbel 24 abgewandten Seite des Gehäuses 40 angeordnet ist. Die Freilauftaste 72 enthält einen Haltestift 74, der gegen ein Arretierprofil 76 der Seiltrommel 48 entgegen der Kraft einer Vorspannfeder 78 bewegbar ist. Die Freilaufvorrichtung 71 enthält nun weiter eine auf der der Handkurbel 24 abgewandten Seite der Achse 46 angeordnete Achsverlängerung 80 mit einer Blockiervorrichtung 81, die einen Anschlag 82 trägt, der über eine Feder 84 mit der zugewandten Stirnseite 86 der Seiltrommel 48 zusammenwirkt. Die Achsverlängerung 80 weist ein Gewinde 88 auf, welches den als Mutter ausgebildeten Anschlag 82 trägt. Ein Sicherungsring 90 mit einer radial nach innen weisenden Rastnase greift in eine Nut 92 in der Achsverlängerung 80 der Achse ein, um ein ungewolltes Verstellen des Anschlages 82 zu verhindern.For a quick closure of the screen, the winch 22 is still with a freewheeling device 71 equipped with a free-running button 72, which on the hand crank 24 opposite side of the housing 40 is arranged. The freewheel button 72 includes a retaining pin 74, which opposes against a locking profile 76 of the cable drum 48 the force of a biasing spring 78 is movable. The freewheel device 71 now contains a further on the hand crank 24 opposite side of the axis 46 arranged axle extension 80 with a blocking device 81, the one Stop 82 carries, which via a spring 84 with the facing end face 86 of Cable drum 48 cooperates. The axle extension 80 has a thread 88 on, which carries the trained as a nut stop 82. A circlip 90 with a radially inwardly facing latch engages in a groove 92 in the Axis extension 80 of the axis on to an unintentional adjustment of the stop 82 to prevent.

Die Funktionsweise der Freitaufvorrichtung 71 ist wie folgt:The operation of the free-wheeling device 71 is as follows:

Beim Betätigen der Freilauftaste 72 wird der Haltestift 74 mit dem Arretierprofil 76 der Seiltrommel 48 in Eingriff gebracht und die Seiltrommel 48 blockiert. In diesem Zustand kann die Handkurbel 24 im Gegenuhrzeigersinn weiter gedreht werden, bis das Aussengewinde 68 und das Innengewinde 70 soweit gelöst sind, dass keine Reibverbindung zwischen der Bremsscheibe 64 und dem Rastkranz 56 besteht. Gleichzeitig presst dabei der Anschlag 82 die Feder 84 gegen die Stirnseite 86 der Seiltrommel 48, sodass die Seiltrommel 48 und die Achse 46 blockiert sind und sich das Aussengewinde 68 und das Innengewinde 70 nicht mehr relativ zueinander bewegen können. Dadurch wird verhindert, dass die Bremsscheibe 64 an dem Rastkranz 56 wirksam werden kann. Wird nun die Freilauftaste 72 los gelassen, so rollt das Seil 28 unter der Zugkraft des Seiles 28 von der Seiltrommel 48 ab und dreht die Seiltrommel 48 und die mit dieser verbundene Handkurbel. Die Blockierung der Blockiervorrichtung 81 wird aufgehoben und die Bremsvorrichtung 54 und die Rastvorrichtung 52 werden wieder aktiviert, wenn die Handkurbel 24 bei erhöhtem Seilzug im Uhrzeigersinn, das heisst in Öffnungsrichtung des Schirmes bewegt wird, wodurch der Anschlag 82 von der Stirnseite 86 frei kommt und die Klemmwirkung der Bremsscheibe 64 wieder zu wirken beginnt.When you press the freewheel button 72 of the retaining pin 74 with the locking profile 76th the cable drum 48 is engaged and the cable drum 48 is blocked. In this State, the hand crank 24 can be rotated further counterclockwise, until the external thread 68 and the internal thread 70 are solved so far that no Friction connection between the brake disc 64 and the detent ring 56 consists. At the same time, the stop 82 presses the spring 84 against the end face 86 of the cable drum 48, so that the cable drum 48 and the axle 46 are blocked and the external thread 68 and the internal thread 70 no longer relative to each other can move. This prevents the brake disk 64th can be effective on the latching ring 56. Now let go of the freewheel button 72, Thus, the rope 28 rolls under the tensile force of the rope 28 of the cable drum 48 and turns the cable drum 48 and connected to this hand crank. The blocking of the blocking device 81 is released and the braking device 54 and the latching device 52 are activated again when the hand crank 24 with increased cable clockwise, that is in the opening direction of the screen is moved, whereby the stopper 82 from the end face 86 free comes and the clamping action of the brake disc 64 begins to act again.

Die erfindungsgemässe Seilwind gemäss den Figuren 4 bis 10 ist für verschiedene Verwendungen geeignet, ganz besonders aber im Zusammenhang mit einer Seilwinde 22 der oben genannten Art, es werden deshalb für die nachfolgende Beschreibung die obigen Bezugszeichen für gleiche Teile verwendet und bezüglich Detailausbildung wird auf die obige Beschreibung verwiesen. The inventive rope wind according to the figures 4 to 10 is for different Uses suitable, but especially in connection with a Winch 22 of the above type, it will therefore be for the following Description uses the above reference numerals for like parts and with respect to Detailed training is made to the above description.

Die Figuren 4 bis 9 zeigen ein Ausführungsbeispiel einer erfindungsgemässen Seilwind 22a, die einen Taster 100 aufweist, der bei voll abgewickeltem Seil 28 auf die Einlaufrichtung des Seiles auf die Seiltrommel 48a anspricht und der mit einem Sperrglied 102 in Verbindung steht, welches bei falscher Wickelrichtung mit einem, der Seiltrommel 48a zugeordneten, die falsche Wickelrichtung sperrenden Anschlag 104 zusammenwirkt.Figures 4 to 9 show an embodiment of an inventive Rope wind 22a, which has a button 100, which is fully unwound cable 28 on the inlet direction of the rope on the cable drum 48 a responds and with a Locking member 102 is in communication, which in the wrong winding direction with a, associated with the cable drum 48a, blocking the wrong winding direction Stop 104 cooperates.

Der Taster 100 erstreckt sich über die ganze Länge der Seiltrommel 48a und ist an einem Arm 106 einer zweiarmigen Wippe 108 befestigt, die an einer Achse 110 verschwenkbar gelagert ist. Die Achse 110 ist an beidseits der Seiltrommel 48 ortsfest angeordneten Lagerplatten 50a, 50b befestigt. Der zweite Arm 112 der Wippe 108 enthält das Sperrglied 102, welches mit dem Anschlag 104 zusammenwirkt, der an der Seiltrommel 48 befestigt ist. Eine Feder 114 ist an der Achse 110 befestigt und stützt sich mit einem Federarm 116 am Gehäuse 118 ab und spannt mit dem anderen Federarm 120 den Taster 100 in Freistellung vor. Die die Seiltrommel 48a übergreifende Achse 110 wirkt gleichzeitig als Führung für das Seil 28, wie aus den Figuren 7 und 9 im Einzelnen hervorgeht. Wird das Seil gemäss Figur 7 in der richtigen Richtung ("Auf" in Figur 4) aufgewickelt, so befindet sich der Taster 100 in der in Figur 7 gezeigten Freistellung. Erfolgt die Wickelrichtung jedoch in der falschen Richtung ("Zu" in Figur 4) so hebt das einlaufende Seil 28 den Taster 100 in Sperrstellung an, in der das Sperrglied 102 mit dem Anschlag 104 zusammenwirkt, wie aus Figur 9 hervorgeht. Ein Weiterdrehen der Kurbel 24 ist dann blockiert.The button 100 extends over the entire length of the cable drum 48a and is attached to an arm 106 of a two-armed rocker 108, which on an axis 110 is pivotally mounted. The axis 110 is on both sides of the cable drum 48th Stationarily arranged bearing plates 50a, 50b attached. The second arm 112 of the Rocker 108 includes the locking member 102, which cooperates with the stop 104, which is attached to the cable drum 48. A spring 114 is on the axle 110 attached and supported by a spring arm 116 on the housing 118 and with the other spring arm 120 biases the button 100 in exemption. The the Cable drum 48a cross-axis 110 also acts as a guide for the Rope 28, as shown in Figures 7 and 9 in detail. Is the rope according to FIG. 7 wound in the correct direction ("open" in FIG. 4) the button 100 in the exemption shown in Figure 7. If the winding direction however, in the wrong direction ("to" in Figure 4) so the incoming rope lifts 28 the button 100 in the locked position, in which the locking member 102 with the stop 104 cooperates, as shown in Figure 9. A further turning of the Crank 24 is then blocked.

Die Figur 10 zeigt ein weiteres Ausführungsbeispiel der erfindungsgemässen Seilwinde 22b, bei der ein Taster 122 als Schieber 124 ausgestaltet ist, der praktisch radial gegen die Seiltrommel 48 zustellbar ist. Federn 126 spannen den Schieber 124 gegen die Seiltrommel 48b vor. Der Schieber 124 ist mit Sperrgliedern 128 ausgestattet, die mit Anschlägen 130 zusammenwirken, welche an seitlichen Flanschen 132 der Seiltrommel 48b angeordnet sind. Die Anordnung ist so getroffen, dass bei der falschen Drehrichtung (entgegen dem Uhrzeigersinn) die Sperrglieder 128 an den Anschlägen 130 anstehen, dadurch wird ein Weiterdrehen der Seiltrommel 48b in der verkehrten Drehrichtung verhindert. Wird die Seiltrommel 48b hingegen in der richtigen Drehrichtung (im Uhrzeigersinn) angetrieben, so werden die Sperrglieder 128 unwirksam. Die Windungen des Seiles 28 auf der Seiltrommel 48b heben den Taster 122 mit fortschreitendem Wickelvorgang weiter ab, wodurch die Sperrglieder 128 zunehmend von den Anschlägen 130 radial entfemt und damit unwirksam werden, sodass die Seilwinde für das Abwickeln des Seiles 28 auch in der entgegengesetzten Richtung solange frei drehbar ist, bis der Taster 122 feststellt, dass das Seil 28 vollständig von der Seiltrommel 48b abgewickelt ist.FIG. 10 shows a further embodiment of the invention Winch 22b, in which a button 122 is designed as a slide 124, the practical radially against the cable drum 48 is deliverable. Springs 126 tension the Slider 124 against the cable drum 48b before. The slider 124 is with locking members 128 equipped, which cooperate with stops 130, which on lateral Flanges 132 of the cable drum 48b are arranged. The arrangement is like this hit that in the wrong direction of rotation (counterclockwise) the Locking members 128 abut against the stops 130, thereby turning further prevents the cable drum 48b in the wrong direction of rotation. Will the rope drum 48b, however, driven in the right direction of rotation (clockwise), so the locking members 128 are ineffective. The turns of the rope 28 on the cable drum 48b lift the button 122 as the winding process progresses from further, whereby the locking members 128 are increasingly from the stops 130 radially removed and thus become ineffective, so that the winch for unwinding the rope 28 is also freely rotatable in the opposite direction until the button 122 determines that the cable 28 is completely unwound from the cable drum 48b is.

Die Figuren 11 bis 13 zeigen ein weiteres Ausführungsbeispiel einer erfindungsgemässen Seilwind 22c, die mit einer kombinierten Rastvorrichtung 52a und Bremsvorrichtung 54a ausgerüstet ist sowie einen Taster 100a aufweist, der analog jenem der Figuren 4 bis 9 ausgebildet ist. Bei voll abgewickeltem Seil 28 spricht der Taster 100a auf die Einlaufrichtung des Seiles auf die Seiltrommel 48c an und steht mit einem Sperrglied 102a in Verbindung, welches bei falscher Wickelrichtung mit einem, der Seiltrommel 48c zugeordneten, die falsche Wickelrichtung sperrenden Anschlag 104a zusammenwirkt.Figures 11 to 13 show a further embodiment of an inventive Rope wind 22c, with a combined latching device 52a and Braking device 54a is equipped and has a button 100a, the analog that of Figures 4 to 9 is formed. When fully unwound rope 28 speaks the button 100a on the direction of entry of the rope on the cable drum 48c and is connected to a locking member 102a in connection, which in the wrong winding direction with one, the cable drum 48c assigned, the wrong winding direction locking stop 104a cooperates.

Der Taster 100a erstreckt sich über die ganze Länge der Seiltrommel 48c und ist an einem Arm 106a einer zweiarmigen Wippe 108a befestigt, die an einer Achse 110a verschwenkbar gelagert ist. Die Achse 110a ist an beidseits der Seiltrommel 48c ortsfest angeordneten Gehäuseseiten 134 befestigt. Der zweite Arm 112a der Wippe 108a enthält das Sperrglied 102a, welches mit dem Anschlag 104a zusammenwirkt, der an der Seiltrommel 48c befestigt ist. Anstelle der Feder 114 beim Beispiel der Figuren 4 bis 9 ist die Wippe 108a in diesem Beispiel am ersten Arm 106a mit einem Massestück 136 versehen, welches durch die Schwerkraft des Massestückes 136 die Vorspannung der Wippe 108a in Freistellung bewirkt. Die die Seiltrommel 48c übergreifende Achse 110a wirkt wiederum gleichzeitig als Führung für das Seil 28, wie aus den Figuren 12 und 13 im Einzelnen hervorgeht. Wird das Seil gemäss Figur 12 in der "richtigen" Richtung aufgewickelt, so befindet sich der Taster 100a in der in Figur 12 gezeigten "Freistellung". Erfolgt die Wickelrichtung jedoch in der "falschen" Richtung, so verschwenkt das einlaufende Seil 28 den Taster 100a in "Sperrstellung", in der das Sperrglied 102a mit dem Anschlag 104a zusammenwirkt, wie aus Figur 13 hervorgeht. Ein Weiterdrehen der Handkurbel 24a ist dann blockiert.The button 100a extends over the entire length of the cable drum 48c and is attached to an arm 106a of a two-armed rocker 108a which is mounted on an axle 110a is mounted pivotably. The axis 110a is on both sides of the cable drum 48c stationarily arranged housing sides 134 attached. The second arm 112a of the Rocker 108a includes the locking member 102a, which cooperates with the stop 104a, which is attached to the cable drum 48c. Instead of the spring 114 in the example of Figures 4 to 9, the rocker 108a is the first in this example Arm 106a provided with a mass piece 136, which by gravity of the mass 136 causes the bias of the rocker 108a in the off position. The cable drum 48c cross-axis 110a in turn acts as Guide for the rope 28, as shown in Figures 12 and 13 in detail. If the rope is wound in the "right" direction according to FIG the button 100a in the "exemption" shown in Figure 12. If the winding direction but in the "wrong" direction, so the incoming swings Rope 28 the button 100a in "blocking position" in which the locking member 102a with the Stop 104a cooperates, as shown in Figure 13. A further turning the hand crank 24a is then blocked.

Zur Bildung der mit der Rastvorrichtung 52a kombinierten Bremsvorrichtung 54a weist die Seiltrommel 48c einen aus der Gehäuseseite 134 vorstehenden Wellenstummel 138 auf, der gehäuseseitig mit einem Stützflansch 140 versehen ist. An dem Stützflansch 140 liegt eine Bremsscheibe 64a an, gefolgt von einem Rastkranz 56a und einer Druckscheibe 142, gegen welche die Stirnseite 144 einer Gewindehülse 146 ansteht, die auf einem Gewindeabschnitt 148 des Wellenstummels 138 aufgeschraubt ist. Die Gewindehülse 146 bildet einen Teil der Handkurbel 24a der Seilwinde 22c. Ein am freien Ende des Wellenstummels angeordneter Anschlag 150 in Form einer von einer Mutter gehaltenen Scheibe verhindert ein ungewolltes Abschrauben der Handkurbel 24a vom Wellenstummel 138. Mit dem Rastkranz 56a wirkt eine mittels einer Feder 60a vorgespannte Rastklinke 58a zusammen, die in einem Gehäuse 152 ortsfest gelagert ist.To form the brake device 54a combined with the detent device 52a the cable drum 48c has a stub shaft protruding from the side of the housing 134 138, which is provided on the housing side with a support flange 140. At the support flange 140 is a brake disk 64 a, followed by a detent ring 56a and a pressure plate 142, against which the end face 144 a Threaded sleeve 146 is present, which is on a threaded portion 148 of the stub shaft 138 is screwed. The threaded sleeve 146 forms part of Winch 22c winch 24a. A arranged at the free end of the stub shaft Stopper 150 prevents in the form of a disk held by a nut an unintentional unscrewing the hand crank 24a from the stub shaft 138. With the latching ring 56a acts a biased by a spring 60a Detent pawl 58 a together, which is mounted in a stationary housing 152.

Die Funktionsweise der Seilwinde 22c ist wie folgt:

  • Zum Aufwickeln des Seiles 28 wird die Handkurbel 24a im Uhrzeigersinn bewegt, wodurch die Handkurbel 24a die Gewindehülse 146 auf den Gewindeabschnitt 148 einschraubt und dabei mit der Stirnseite 144 die Druckscheibe 142 gegen den Rastkranz 56a drückt, bis diese zwischen der Bremsscheibe 64a und der Druckscheibe 142 arretiert wird. Der Rastkranz 56a und die angreifende Rastklinke 58a verhindern ein Zurückdrehen der Seilwinde und damit ein Abwickeln des Seiles 28. Zum Abwickeln des Seiles 28 wird die Handkurbel 24a gegen den Uhrzeigersinn gedreht, wobei aufgrund der Sperrwirkung der Rastvorrichtung 52a die Gewindehülse 146 am Gewindeabschnitt 148 herausgeschraubt wird und dadurch die Presskraft an der Druckscheibe 142 reduziert wird, wodurch auch die Arretierung des Rastkranzes 56a reduziert wird und sich die Seiltrommel 48c unter der Zugkraft des Seiles 28 ebenfalls im Gegenuhrzeigersinn bewegen kann und das Seil 28 ablässt. Dies bewirkt aber wiederum ein Einschrauben der Gewindehülse 146 auf den Gewindeabschnitt 148 und damit ein erneutes Festklemmen des Rastkranzes und damit Bremsen des Seilablaufes. Durch gesteuertes Drehen der Handkurbel 24a im Gegenuhrzeigersinn kann somit ein ebenso gebremstes, das heisst gesteuertes Ablassen des Seiles 28 von der Seiltrommel 48c erreicht werden.
  • The operation of the winch 22c is as follows:
  • To wind the cable 28, the hand crank 24a is moved clockwise, whereby the hand crank 24a, the threaded sleeve 146 screwed onto the threaded portion 148 and thereby pushes the thrust washer 142 against the locking ring 56a with the end face 144 until it between the brake disc 64a and the pressure plate 142nd is locked. The unwinding of the cable 28, the hand crank 24a is rotated counterclockwise, wherein due to the locking action of the latching device 52a, the threaded sleeve 146 is unscrewed at the threaded portion 148. Der Rastkranz 56a und die offense Rastklinke 58a bzw. and thereby the pressing force on the pressure plate 142 is reduced, whereby the locking of the locking ring 56a is reduced and the cable drum 48c under the pulling force of the cable 28 can also move counterclockwise and the rope 28 discharges. However, this in turn causes a screwing of the threaded sleeve 146 on the threaded portion 148 and thus re-clamping the locking ring and thus braking the rope sequence. By controlled rotation of the hand crank 24a in the counterclockwise direction thus a likewise braked, that is controlled discharge of the cable 28 can be achieved by the cable drum 48c.
  • Insbesondere die Seilwinde der Figuren 11 bis 13 ist bevorzugt geeignet für Schirme gemäss den WO97/04682 und WO01/52686. In particular, the winch of Figures 11 to 13 is preferably suitable for Umbrellas according to WO97 / 04682 and WO01 / 52686.
