Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a winding device to wind up belts, straps, hoses, puttees, strops etc.
  • the invention relates to an improved winding device for a firehose/strap, which is inexpensive and easy to bring along and which enables that a user easily and fast can wind up a hose/strap on the location where the hose/strap previously has been rolled out.
  • a winding device which is easy to bring along, which is easy to mount and which in addition is inexpensive and simple to manufacture. It is also desirable with a winding device, which easily can be coupled to different tools, such as, for instance, a portable electrical, air-driven, hydraulic or battery operated hand drilling machine, or a manual brace, but also to fixed engine montage if desired. It is also desirable with a winding device, which enables winding on the location where a hose/strap is lying and which minimizes the time for winding straps, hoses etc, both against a plane substratum and upon free rolling-up in the air.
  • US 6 467 755 discloses an electrically driven tool to wind up a strap or other flexible components on a winch.
  • the tool comprises an elongate body, which is intended to by means of an electrically driven apparatus rotate a shaft/winch on which the strap or the flexible component should be wound.
  • an electrically driven apparatus rotates a shaft/winch on which the strap or the flexible component should be wound.
  • US 5 188 307 discloses a portable tool to wind up a firehose.
  • the tool comprises an elongate part, in the form of a telescopic shank, having a handle in one end and member to hold a hose in the other end.
  • the member to hold the hose comprises a first leg, which has an extension along the rotation axis of the tool as well as a second leg angled to the elongate part.
  • the handle is foremost intended to manually wind a hose but may also be coupled to an electrical motor.
  • a disadvantage of the tool according to US 5 188 307 is that it comprises many different parts, which makes it relatively complicated to manufacture.
  • Another disadvantage of the tool is that the winding becomes relatively unstable if the tool is coupled to an electrical motor, since, among other things, the shank is relatively long and consists of a plurality of parts.
  • the object of the present invention is to provide a winding device having a simple construction, which is extremely light, which entails that it is easy to bring along and enables winding of, for instance, a strap or hose, both against a plane substratum but also freely in the air, on the location where a strap or hose is rolled out.
  • the object is in addition to provide a winding device, which has a lower manufacturing cost than traditional winding systems and which makes the winding operation going fast and easy.
  • a winding device is defined to wind up belts, straps, puttees, hoses, strops etc., which device comprises a main part rotationally symmetrical around a rotation axis having a first end and a second end, which first end is provided with a coupling member for co-operation with a rotation tool and which second end is provided with a first elongate leg and at least one second elongate leg principally parallel to said first elongate leg.
  • Said first elongate leg is principally centred on the second end of said main part in such a way that it has an extension in a direction along the rotation axis of the main part.
  • the second end of the main part has an end surface, which suitably is perpendicularly or principally perpendicularly arranged to the rotation axis of the main part.
  • Said second elongate leg is connected perpendicularly to the end surface of the second end of the main part.
  • the second elongate leg has an extension parallel to or principally parallel to the rotation axis of the main part.
  • the advantage is obtained that, for instance, a strap or hose can be wound up on the location where the strap or the hose has been rolled out, for instance by means of free rolling-up, where the roll- ing-up takes place in the air.
  • This entails that new work tasks can be commenced fast, which in turn entails environmental advantages because, for instance, lorries/fire-fighting vehicles do not need to stand idling for a longer time.
  • the advantage is obtained that the winding device because of the simple construction thereof has economical advantages from material and manufacturing point of view. Said winding device neither requires any interference with the trucks/fire- fighting vehicles for the fastening of, for instance, winches.
  • the winding device is controlled by a rotation tool, a good control of the course of winding is in addition obtained because the user can control the number of revolutions of the rotation tool so that a good course of winding is obtained. Furthermore, the winding device is stable and gets a smoother run during rotation foremost as a conse- quence of the first elongate leg being centred and having an extension along the rotation axis of the main part.
  • said first elongate leg may be longer than said at least second elongate leg.
  • the distance between said first elongate leg and said at least second elongate leg may be arranged so that a finger cannot be inserted therebetween.
  • the distance between the two elongate legs may be within the interval of 3-15 mm, preferably 5-10 mm for protection against the fact that an adult's finger should be possible to be inserted between said elongate legs, but may also be in the interval of 3-5 mm to give protection against the fact that a child's finger should be possible to be inserted between said elongate legs.
  • said main part may be in the shape of a cylinder, preferably having a diameter that is greater than the length of the cylinder.
  • said main part may be in the shape of a truncated cone.
  • said rotation tool may be an electrical machine, such as an electrical drilling screwdriver, a drilling machine or a fixed engine montage. In this way, a quick and easy winding is obtained, which requires a small effort by the user.
  • said rotation tool may be a manually manoeuvrable hand tool, such as, for instance, a manual brace.
  • a good control is also obtained of the number of revolutions during the course of winding, which entails a faster and safer course of winding.
  • the device may furthermore comprise a carpet, formed as a separate unit, which is provided with a control member for said first elongate leg.
  • said first elongate leg may be fixed at the second end of said main part and that said second elon- gate leg may be selectively positionable for adjustment of the distance between said first and second elongate legs.
  • the winding device can be set to be adapted to different types of straps or hoses having different thicknesses. This can be provided by the fact that said second end of said main part comprises threaded holes and that said second elongate leg is threaded at one of the ends to be able to co-operate with optional of said threaded holes.
  • this may be provided in a plurality of ways, for instance by arranging a groove in the second end of the main part and that said second elongate leg comprises a pin having a locking means, for instance a nut. Said pin may then run in said groove and detachably be locked at desired distance from said first elongate leg.
  • said elongate leg of the winding device may be provided with detachably fastened lengthening elements.
  • Figure 1 shows a side view of an embodiment of a winding device accord- ing to the present invention
  • Figure 2 shows a perspective view of an embodiment of the winding device according to the present invention, where winding of a strap is carried out against a tabletop.
  • Figure 3 shows a perspective view of an embodiment of the winding device according to the present invention, where the winding device comprises a carpet, which is provided with a control member for said first leg, and where the winding of a firehose is to be initiated,
  • Figure 4 shows a perspective view of the winding device in figure 3, where the winding of the firehose has been initiated, and
  • FIG. 5 shows an embodiment of the winding device according to the present invention, where the winding device comprises lengthening elements.
  • FIG. 1 shows a perspective view of the winding device 1 according to the present embodiment example.
  • the winding device 1 according to figure 1 comprises a rotationally symmetrical main part 2 having a first end 3 and a second end 4. Said first end 3 of the main part 2 of the winding device 1 is provided with a coupling member 5, which is intended to co-operate with a rotation tool, for instance an electrical drilling screwdriver.
  • said coupling member 5 has a round shape, but of course other types of designs are feasible, for instance hexagonal design when drilling screwdriver without chuck is used as rotation tool. Of course it is possible with other types of machines, such as, for instance, a fixed engine montage, but also manually manoeuvrable hand tools, such as a manual brace, are feasible.
  • Said second end 4 of the main part 2 of the winding device 1 is provided with a first elongate leg 6 and a second elongate leg 7.
  • the first elongate leg 6 as well as the second elongate leg 7 are perpendicularly connected to the end surface of said second end 4.
  • said first elongate leg 6 is longer than said second elongate leg 7.
  • the longer leg is centred at said second end 4 of said main part 2 to in such a way obtain a stable and smooth running of the winding device 1 in operation.
  • the two elongate legs 6, 7 may of course be principally equally long.
  • Said main part 2 of the winding device 1 has in the embodimeni example o ⁇ ngure 1 the shape of a truncated cone. Thanks to there being, by this design, no projecting edges or corners, the risk decreases considerably that a user could hurt himself/herself on the winding device rotating in operation.
