Definitions

  • the invention relates to a tool for fixing and releasing a wheel of a motor vehicle defining central wing nut or thumbscrew with a plurality of wings, wherein the tool has a base element with at least two recesses separate contact body for each wing for transmitting the torque from the tool to the wing nut or Wing screw has.
  • Such a tool is used in practice to fix or release the wing nut of a central closure, in particular classic automobiles.
  • special wooden tools for wing nuts are known, which allows an approximately positive reception of a wheel of a motor vehicle defining wing nut.
  • the wooden key is designed as a wooden board with a corresponding contour of the wing nuts recess.
  • a disadvantage of such a wooden tool proves the lack of protection against axial slipping.
  • only small torques can be transmitted with such a wooden key whose amount is also not reliably reproducible.
  • US Pat. No. 5,697,268 relates to such a tool, to the base element of which a hollow-body-shaped shank with opposite slot-shaped recesses of different widths adjoins each other in order to reliably fix or release various types of winged nuts.
  • the recesses at the same time form the contact body for the respective wing.
  • a shaft of the opposite portion of the base member serves to receive a commercially available screwing.
  • a known by the G 93 18 159 U1 tool also has a shaft which has lug means for transmitting the rotational force, for example a hole for a lever or a connector for a universal tool and is formed at its other end as an open tube, which there two Having opposite to the tool end open slot-shaped recesses, which are intended to receive the wings of the wing nut or thumbscrew.
  • lug means for transmitting the rotational force for example a hole for a lever or a connector for a universal tool and is formed at its other end as an open tube, which there two Having opposite to the tool end open slot-shaped recesses, which are intended to receive the wings of the wing nut or thumbscrew.
  • a designed as a socket wrench tool for fixing and loosening a wing nut also describes the G 87 01 555 U1, which are in a cylindrical, metal or metal-like material existing socket wrench two opposite elongated recesses whose dimensions correspond to the thickness of a wing of the wing nut.
  • the cylindrical socket wrench is coated with plastic.
  • the G 88 14 967 already discloses a wrench for wing nuts or castle nuts of screw spindles of concrete construction.
  • the wrench has a sleeve with on its coat at least a pair of cams which project beyond the free end face of the sleeve and cooperate with the edges of the wings of the wing nut.
  • DE 200 02 763 U1 also describes a socket wrench for mounting and dismounting a wing nut intended for toilet seat mounts.
  • the socket wrench is substantially hollow and has two offset by 180 ° grooves, which serve to receive the wings of the wing nut.
  • For power transmission in addition to a metal pin and a sunken square hollow body can be used, which serves to receive a ratchet.
  • DE 295 19 672 U1 also relates to a screwing tool for screwing in and out of winged or hexagonal nuts of the kind which are used for the secured closure of energy or electricity meters of the utilities caused by sealing.
  • a disadvantage of the known from the prior art tools for fixing and loosening a wing nut or wing screw proves the low suitability for the transmission of relatively high torques.
  • the contact surface significantly reduced in wing nuts proves to be disadvantageous, because thereby a tilting moment, which leads to an axial sliding, can not be reliably excluded.
  • Such tools are completely unsuitable for mounting wing nuts as Radzentralver gleich in motor vehicle rims, especially historic motor vehicles, because the inclination of the wings favors the sliding of the tool. This sliding can not be avoided by manual pressing of the tool by the installer due to the high torque.
  • the invention has for its object to provide a way to provide a tool for fixing and releasing a wheel of a motor vehicle defining wing nut or thumbscrew, through which a definable with reproducible accuracy torque is reliably transferable.
  • a definable with reproducible accuracy torque is reliably transferable.
  • a tool for fixing and loosening a wheel of a motor vehicle defining wing nut or thumbscrew which has a projection which engages behind at least one of the wings in the functional position of the tool to avoid axial slippage of the tool of the wing nut or wing screw is.
  • the invention is based on the finding that an axial sliding of the tool can then be reliably avoided when the tool carries a projection, which upon initiation of the relative rotational movement of the tool relative to the wheel to an automatic locking of the tool in the axial direction by an undercut leads. The axial sliding is thereby excluded, because this first a reversal of the direction of rotation is required.
  • the tool can be easily placed on the wing nut or screw and rotated in the axially secured position, so that subsequently the desired torque is initiated by means of this, for example, equipped with means for detecting the torque introduced lever arm.
  • the lever arm can have a torque adapted length and is operable with two hands, because a manual axial pressing of the tool is unnecessary.
  • a particularly advantageous embodiment of the present invention is achieved in that the respective projection releases a particular slightly larger than the respective wing sized recess, wherein limited by the plant body relative change in the angular position between the wing nut or thumbscrew and the tool at the same time to a lock of the Wing in the recess leads.
  • the respective projection releases a particular slightly larger than the respective wing sized recess, wherein limited by the plant body relative change in the angular position between the wing nut or thumbscrew and the tool at the same time to a lock of the Wing in the recess leads.
  • the wing engaging behind the wing in the functional position is designed as a bayonet lock and thereby reliably prevents axial movement of the tool relative to the wings.
  • the bayonet lock thus allows in addition to the positive locking at the same time a non-positive axial bias of the tool against the wing nut or thumbscrew.
  • the tool could have different abutment bodies for disengaging and fixing the wing nut or thumbscrew, which are designed according to the generally asymmetrical shape of the wings.
  • a modification of the present invention in which the contact body has a contact surface which can be applied, on the one hand, when loosening, and on the other hand, when fixing the wing nut or wing screw against its wings, is particularly practical.
  • the tool can be used without loosening position either for loosening or fixing the wing nut or thumbscrew, so that operating errors are almost impossible.
  • a structurally much simpler design which also requires low production costs, feasible and at the same time allows the use of the tool for various wing nuts or thumbscrews.
  • the contact body is symmetrical, in particular rotationally symmetrical with respect to an axis parallel to the thread axis of the wing nut or wing screw axis, because this simplifies the molding process and can be used on prefabricated, usable for different tools investment body.
  • the tool is advantageously designed such that the wings when loosening and fixing against each adjacent abutment body can be applied, so that each investment body enters into operative connection both during fixing and when loosening the wing nut or thumbscrew with this.
  • the contact bodies could be exchangeable according to a further expedient modification.
  • the base element for example, have a plurality of internal threads, which may also be provided according to the intended use with markings or labels.
  • the plant body as essential material components aluminum, copper or plastic whose comparatively soft material, for example, an elastic deformation and at the same time an increase in the Contact area allowed.
  • the base element has one or more support elements for axial stabilization of the wings, in order to avoid in this way a tilting moment occurring due to the introduced torque.
  • a lever for initiating the torque could be realized as an integral part of the tool.
  • the base element has a receptacle, in particular a polygonal opening, for a commercial torque tool is particularly useful. Therefore, when using the tool can be used on an already existing on-board tool for force input, the recording can also be equipped for the optional use of different tools with different functional sections.
  • the tool for stabilizing the wing nut or thumbscrew with exactly two wings has a pivotally receiving this guide.
  • This guide serves the reliable arrangement of the tool, wherein the guide is not designed and intended to transmit the torque.
  • a lateral displacement of the tool transverse to the axial direction of the wing nut or thumbscrew is thereby reliably avoided.
  • the base element to prevent damage to the wing nut or wing screw at least partially a plastic surface, in particular foam plate, which may also be designed with replaceable wear strips, so as to a reliable use even with frequent use of the tool enable.
  • the abutment bodies are fixable in different radial positions on the base element, in order to allow in this way an adjustment of the tool for adaptation to different diameters of a central cylindrical portion of the thumbscrew.
  • the investment body can this be similar to a chuck on a slide infinitely adjustable, with a scale of easy handling by a corresponding presettable.
  • the projection has an adjustable distance relative to the base element, so as to achieve an axial adjustability, which ensures a secure, in particular non-positive contact of the tool on the thumbscrew.
  • the desired locking can be realized by a fixable in different positions lock body, such as an automatically locking pawl, which reliably fixes the tool in position and releases the wing nut or wing screw by an additional manual intervention.
  • a fixable in different positions lock body such as an automatically locking pawl
  • Figures 1 to 3 each show a plan view of a tool 1 for fixing and releasing a not shown wheel of a motor vehicle defining wing nut 2 with multiple wings 3.
  • the tool 1 has a base member 4 with three releasably secured abutment bodies 5 for the individual wings. 3 which the transmission of torque to Fix and release the wing nut 2 serve.
  • Each bearing body 5 is provided at its end facing the wheel with a projection 6 which surrounds a wing 3 to avoid axial sliding of the tool 1 of the wing nut 2 in the functional position shown in Figures 2 and 3 respectively.
  • the respective projection 6 is dimensioned such that a recess 7 between adjacent projections 6 is only slightly larger than the respective wing 3, as can be seen from the figure 1.
  • Each of the designed as studs plant body 5 each has an applicable either when loosening or fixing against the wing 3 contact surface 8, 9.
  • To initiate the torque element 4 has a square opening designed as a receptacle 10 for a commercial, torque tool.
  • FIG. 4 shows the tool 1 shown in FIG. 2 in a side view in the functional position intended for fixing the wing nut 2.
  • the projection 6 covers a wing 3 sections and thereby reliably prevents axial sliding of the tool 1.
  • the torque transmitting the bearing body 5 is as well as arranged between the base member 4 and the wing nut 2 plastic plate 11 from a surface of the wing nut 2 protective Material produced.
  • Figure 5 shows a plan view.
  • a base member 15 with four abutment bodies 16, which serve in pairs each case when fixing or loosening the wing nut 13 of the transmission of the fixing torque on the one hand and the release torque on the other.
  • the case rotationally symmetrical contact body 16 carries a releasably fixed projection 17 which locks the respective wing 14 in the illustrated functional position.
