Description

Die Erfindung betrifft einen flexiblen Kantenschutz, bestehend aus einem Schutzband aus flexiblem Material zum zeitweisen Schutz von umlaufenden Kanten von Gegenständen.The invention relates to a flexible edge protection consisting of a protective band of flexible material for the temporary protection of peripheral edges of objects.

Ein flexibler Kantenschutz dient dazu, die Kanten von Gegenständen vor äußeren Einflüssen, insbesondere Beschädigungen, zu schützen. Dies ist häufig notwendig, um beispielsweise bei Transport- oder Lagerungsvorgängen die Unversehrtheit des Gegenstandes sicherzustellen. Insbesondere bei Gegenständen, deren umlaufenden Kanten Funktionsträger sind, ist der Schutz dieser Kanten von besonderer Bedeutung. Beispiele solcher Gegenstände sind Fräser, Schneiden, Turbinen.A flexible edge protection serves to protect the edges of objects from external influences, in particular damage. This is often necessary to ensure, for example during transport or storage operations, the integrity of the article. In particular, for objects whose peripheral edges are function carriers, the protection of these edges is of particular importance. Examples of such objects are milling cutters, cutters, turbines.

Schutzbänder dienen dabei nicht nur dem Schutz des Gegenstandes, sondern schützen u. a. auch vor Verletzung von Personen.Guard bands not only serve the protection of the object, but protect u. a. also against injury of persons.

Ein Kantenschutz der betreffenden Art ist beispielsweise bekannt durch EP 0 442 125 B1 . Dabei besteht der flexible Kantenschutz aus einem Schutzband aus flexiblem Material, das dem zeitweisen Schutz von umlaufenden Kanten von Gegenständen dient. Die bekannten Schutzbänder eines flexiblen Kantenschutzes weisen Schnappmittel auf, die bei Übereinanderlegen der freien Enden des Schutzbandes durch Gegeneinanderdrücken dieser Enden miteinander verschnappbar sind. Dabei weisen die Schnappmittel Schnappvorsprünge auf.An edge protection of the type in question is known, for example EP 0 442 125 B1 , The flexible edge protection consists of a protective band of flexible material, which serves the temporary protection of peripheral edges of objects. The known protective tapes of a flexible edge protector have snap-on means which can be snapped together when the free ends of the protective tape are overlapped by pressing these ends against one another. Show the snap-on snap tabs on.

Der Erfindung liegt die Aufgabe zugrunde, eine flexiblen Kantenschutz bestehend aus einem Schutzband der im Oberbegriff des Anspruchs 1 genannten Art anzugeben, der die Verschnappung der freien Enden des Schutzbandes verbessert.The invention has for its object to provide a flexible edge protection consisting of a protective tape referred to in the preamble of claim 1, which improves the snap of the free ends of the protective tape.

Diese Aufgabe wird durch die im Anspruch 1 angegebene Lehre gelöst.This object is achieved by the teaching defined in claim 1.

Zur Lösung dieser Aufgabe weist das Schutzband Schnappausnehmungen auf, in die die Schnappvorsprünge in Schnapposition wenigstens abschnittsweise eingreifen. Auf überraschende Weise hat sich gezeigt, daß durch eine derartige Schnappverbindung die Belastbarkeit der miteinander verschnappten Enden des Schutzbandes gesteigert ist bzw. die Sicherheit der Schnappverbindung vor einem ungewünschten Trennen der freien Enden des Schutzbandes erhöht ist.To solve this problem, the protective tape on snap recesses into which engage the snap projections in snap position at least partially. Surprisingly, it has been found that the load capacity of the ends of the protective tape snapped together is increased by such a snap connection or the safety of the snap connection is increased before an undesired separation of the free ends of the protective tape.

Dabei kann die Wandung der Schnappausnehmung bzw. die Wandung eines darin eingreifenden Schnappmittels flexibel bzw. starr ausgebildet sein. Ein Verschnappen der Schnappvorsprünge mit den Schnappausnehmungen kann dadurch erfolgen, daß beispielsweise die Schnappvorsprünge eine starre Wandung aufweisen, während die Schnappausnehmungen eine flexible Wandung aufweisen. Ferner kann ein Verschnappen der Schnappmittel auch dadurch erreicht werden, daß das Schutzband wenigstens abschnittsweise flexibel ausgebildet ist, so daß sowohl die Wandung der Schnappvorsprünge wie auch die Wandung der Schnappausnehmungen starr ausgebildet sein kann. Dadurch sind bezogen auf die Art der Wandungen verschiedene Möglichkeiten der Kombination von Schnappvorsprüngen mit Schnappausnehmungen möglich, so daß auch die Wandungen der Schnappausnehmungen zueinander wie auch die Wandungen der Schnappvorsprünge zueinander unterschiedlich ausgebildet sein können.In this case, the wall of the snap recess or the wall of an engaging therein snap means may be flexible or rigid. A snapping the snap projections with the snap recesses can be effected in that, for example, the snap projections have a rigid wall, while the snap recesses have a flexible wall. Furthermore, a snapping the snap means can also be achieved in that the guard band is at least partially flexible, so that both the wall of the snap projections as well as the wall of the snap-action recesses can be rigid. As a result, based on the type of walls different ways of combining snap projections with snap recesses possible, so that the walls of the snap recesses to each other as well as the walls of the snap projections to each other can be designed differently.

Erfindungsgemäß wird unter einer Schnapposition der Zustand des Schutzbandes verstanden, in dem die freien Enden des Schutzbandes übereinandergelegt sind und die Schnappmittel wenigstens teilweise miteinander verschnappen bzw. verschnappt sind.According to the invention, a snap position is understood to be the state of the protective tape in which the free ends of the protective tape are laid one over the other and the snap means are at least partially snapped or snapped together.

Eine vorteilhafte Weiterbildung der Erfindung ist dadurch gebildet, daß in Schnapposition wenigstens ein Schnappvorsprung an einer Innenseite des Schutzbandes bzw. wenigstens ein Schnappvorsprung an einer Außenseite des Schutzbandes angeordnet ist. Dadurch ergibt sich der Vorteil, daß die Haltekraft, die ein ungewünschtes Lösen der freien Enden des Schutzbandes bzw. ein ungewünschtes Lösen der Schnappverbindung verhindert, erhöht ist. Dabei ist erfindungsgemäß die Innenseite des Schutzbandes durch die Seite des Schutzbandes gekennzeichnet, die in Schnappposition dem Gegenstand zugewandt ist. Die Außenseite des Schutzbandes ist demzufolge die Seite, die in Schnapposition des Schutzbandes dem Gegenstand abgewandt ist.An advantageous development of the invention is formed in that in snap position at least one snap projection on an inner side of the protective tape or at least one snap projection is arranged on an outer side of the protective tape. This has the advantage that the holding force, which prevents unwanted loosening of the free ends of the protective tape or an unwanted release of the snap connection is increased. In this case, according to the invention, the inside of the protective tape is characterized by the side of the protective tape, which faces the object in the snap position. The outside of the protective tape is therefore the side which faces away from the object in the snap position of the protective tape.

Eine weitere vorteilhafte Weiterbildung der Erfindung ist dadurch gekennzeichnet, daß in Schnapposition wenigstens eine Schnappausnehmung an der Innenseite des Schutzbandes angeordnet ist. Dadurch ist ein ungewünschtes Lösen der Schnappverbindung auch durch äußere Einwirkungen erschwert, wodurch die Sicherheit der Schnappverbindung gesteigert ist.A further advantageous embodiment of the invention is characterized in that in snap position at least one snap recess is arranged on the inside of the protective tape. As a result, an unwanted release of the snap connection is made difficult by external influences, whereby the safety of the snap connection is increased.

Ferner besteht eine weitere vorteilhafte Weiterbildung der Erfindung darin, daß wenigstens eine Schnappausnehmung an oder in unmittelbarer Nähe zu wenigstens einem Schnappvorsprung angeordnet ist. Dadurch ergibt sich der Vorteil, daß das Schutzband durch die Schnappausnehmung in seiner Belastbarkeit nahezu unbeeinträchtigt ist. Darüber hinaus ist die Bewegbarkeit des Schnappvorsprungs erhöht, wodurch ein einfaches Verschnappen ermöglicht ist.Furthermore, there is a further advantageous embodiment of the invention is that at least one snap-in recess is arranged on or in close proximity to at least one snap projection. This results in the advantage that the guard band is almost unimpaired by the snap recess in its load capacity. In addition, the mobility is of the snap-on projection increases, whereby a simple snapping is possible.

Ferner ist eine weitere vorteilhafte Weiterbildung der Erfindung dadurch gebildet, daß wenigstens eine Schnappausnehmung im Querschnitt wenigstens abschnittsweise im wesentlichen in der Art eines Rechteck- bzw. Dreieck- bzw. Kreissegmentes ausgebildet ist. Dadurch wird ein sicheres Verschnappen des Schnappvorsprungs mit der Schnappausnehmung erreicht bei gleichzeitig hohen Haltekräften der Schnappverbindung. Bei einer polygonalen Ausbildung der Schnappausnehmung, die z. B. durch Rechteck- bzw. Dreiecksegmente realisierbar ist, können beispielsweise die Ecken verrundet sein, um eine mögliche Kerbwirkung für das Schutzband zu verringern. Zudem können die Übergangsbereiche von der Innen- bzw. Außenseite des Schutzbandes zur Schnappausnehmung verrundet bzw. angefast sein, um ein einfacheres Verschnappen zu ermöglichen.Furthermore, a further advantageous development of the invention is formed in that at least one snap-in recess is formed at least in sections substantially in the manner of a rectangular or triangular or circular segment. As a result, a secure snapping the snap projection is achieved with the snap recess with high holding forces of the snap connection. In a polygonal design of the snap recess, the z. B. by rectangular or triangular segments can be realized, for example, the corners may be rounded to reduce a possible notch effect for the guard band. In addition, the transition regions from the inner or outer side of the protective tape to the snap-in recess can be rounded or chamfered in order to enable easier snap-fastening.

Zur Steigerung der Haltekraft der Schnappverbindung sieht eine weitere vorteilhafte Weiterbildung der Erfindung vor, daß die Schnappausnehmung im Querschnitt wenigstens abschnittsweise zu dem zugeordneten Schnappvorsprung im wesentlichen komplementär ausgebildet ist. Dadurch ist es möglich, einen Formschluß zwischen Schnappvorsprung und Schnappausnehmung wenigstens abschnittsweise zu erreichen. Infolgedessen ist die Sicherheit der Schnappverbindung steigerbar, wodurch ein ungewünschtes Lösen der Schnappmittel verhindert ist. Dazu ist es ausreichend, daß der Schnappvorsprung abschnittsweise komplementär zur Schnappausnehmung ausgebildet ist, wodurch beispielsweise Fertigungstoleranzen keinen bzw. nur einen unwesentlichen Einfluß auf die Sicherheit der Schnappverbindung haben. Dabei kann beispielsweise ein Schnappvorsprung an der Außenseite und ein weiterer Schnappvorsprung an der Innenseite des Schutzbandes angeordnet sein, die in Schnapposition miteinander verschnappen, wobei zusätzlich der Schnappvorsprung, der an der Außenseite des Schutzbandes angeordnet ist, wenigstens abschnittsweise mit einer Schnappausnehmung, die in unmittelbarer Nähe zu dem Schnappvorsprung der Innenseite des Schutzbandes angeordnet ist, verschnappen.To increase the holding force of the snap connection, a further advantageous embodiment of the invention provides that the snap recess is formed in cross-section at least partially substantially complementary to the associated snap projection. This makes it possible to achieve a positive connection between the snap projection and snap recess at least in sections. As a result, the safety of the snap connection is steigerbar, whereby an unwanted release of the snap means is prevented. For this purpose, it is sufficient that the snap projection is formed in sections complementarily to Schnappausnehmung, whereby, for example, manufacturing tolerances have no or only a minor impact on the safety of the snap connection. In this case, for example, a snap projection on the outside and a further snap-on projection may be arranged on the inside of the protective tape, which snap together in snap position, wherein additionally the snap projection, which is arranged on the outside of the protective tape, at least partially with a snap-action recess, which is arranged in close proximity to the snap-in projection of the inside of the protective tape , snorkel.

Zur Erhöhung der Stabilität des Schnappvorsprungs sieht eine weitere vorteilhafte Weiterbildung der Erfindung vor, daß der Schnappvorsprung in der Art einer Nase ausgebildet ist. Dadurch ist der Schnappvorsprung insbesondere statisch höher belastbar. Darüber hinaus kann ein derart ausgebildeter Schnappvorsprung, der beispielsweise an der Außenseite des Schutzbandes angeordnet ist, ein Verschnappen der Schnappmittel vereinfachen und gleichfalls höhere Haltekräfte ermöglichen. Dies kann beispielsweise dadurch erreicht werden, daß bei Verwendung eines offenen Profils für das Schutzband dieses Profil im Bereich der freien Enden bei Gegeneinanderdrücken dieser Enden leichter aufgeweitet werden kann, wodurch in Schnapposition durch die Flexibilität des Schutzbandes große Hinterschneidungen der Schnappmittel möglich sind, die zu hohen Haltekräften führen.To increase the stability of the snap projection provides a further advantageous embodiment of the invention, that the snap projection is formed in the manner of a nose. As a result, the snap projection is particularly high static load. In addition, such a trained snap projection, which is arranged for example on the outside of the guard band, facilitate snap-locking of the snap means and also allow higher holding forces. This can be achieved, for example, that when using an open profile for the protective tape this profile in the region of the free ends in opposing pressing these ends can be easily widened, which in snap position by the flexibility of the protective tape large undercuts the snap means are possible, the too high Holding forces lead.

So ist ein offenes Profil des Schutzbandes dadurch realisierbar, daß das Schutzband im Querschnitt einen Steg und von diesem abgebogene bzw. abgewinkelte Schenkel aufweist, wie dies eine weitere vorteilhafte Weiterbildung der Erfindung vorgsieht. Offene Profile haben den Vorteil, daß sie kostengünstig herstellbar sind, indem sie beispielsweise als Extrusionsteile gefertigt werden. Dadurch sind verschiedene bzw. beliebige Längen des Schutzbandes möglich, wodurch ein großes Anwendungsspektrum für den flexiblen Kantenschutz gegeben ist.Thus, an open profile of the protective tape can be realized in that the protective tape in cross section has a web and this bent or angled leg, as vor¬ieht a further advantageous embodiment of the invention. Open profiles have the advantage that they are inexpensive to produce, for example by being manufactured as extruded parts. As a result, different or any lengths of the guard band are possible, creating a large Range of application for flexible edge protection is given.

Zur Erzielung einer gleichmäßigen Haltekraft der Schnappmittel ist es vorteilhaft, daß das Schutzband im Querschnitt symmetrisch oder im wesentlichen symmetrisch zu einer Querschnittsmittellinie ausgebildet ist, wie dies in einer vorteilhaften Weiterbildung der Erfindung vorgesehen ist.To achieve a uniform holding force of the snap means, it is advantageous that the protective tape is formed in cross section symmetrical or substantially symmetrical to a cross-sectional centerline, as provided in an advantageous embodiment of the invention.

Darüber hinaus ist eine weitere vorteilhafte Weiterbildung der Erfindung dadurch gekennzeichnet, daß wenigstens eine Seite des Schutzbandes im Querschnitt wenigstens abschnittsweise wenigstens eine Verjüngung aufweist, deren Verlauf insbesondere von einem Querschnittende des Schutzbandes zum verbleibenden Querschnittsende des Schutzbandes gerichtet ist. Dadurch ist der Vorteil gegeben, daß die Flexibilität des Schutzbandes erhöht ist, wodurch beispielsweise ein einfacheres Verschnappen der Schnappmittel ermöglicht ist. Dadurch kann die Schnappwirkung bzw. die Haltekraft infolge eines wenigstens abschnittsweisen Formschlusses der Schnappmittel erhöht werden. Diese Weiterbildung der Erfindung ist nicht zwingend von den Merkmalen des Kennzeichens des Anspruchs 1 abhängig.In addition, a further advantageous embodiment of the invention is characterized in that at least one side of the protective tape in cross-section at least partially has at least one taper whose course is directed in particular by a cross-sectional end of the protective tape to the remaining cross-sectional end of the protective tape. This provides the advantage that the flexibility of the protective tape is increased, whereby, for example, a simpler snap the snap means is possible. As a result, the snap action or the holding force can be increased as a result of an at least partially positive engagement of the snap means. This development of the invention is not necessarily dependent on the features of the characterizing part of claim 1.

Für eine einfache und schnelle Herstellung des Schutzbandes ist es von Vorteil, daß das Schutzband einstückig ausgebildet ist, wie es in einer vorteilhaften Weiterbildung der Erfindung vorgesehen ist. Darüber hinaus können die Herstellkosten bei gleichzeitiger Erhöhung der Flexibilität des Schutzbandes reduziert werden, indem das Schutzband aus einem Kunststoff besteht oder einen Kunststoff enthält, wie dies in einer weiteren vorteilhaften Weiterbildung der Erfindung vorgesehen ist.For a simple and rapid production of the protective tape, it is advantageous that the protective tape is integrally formed, as provided in an advantageous embodiment of the invention. In addition, the manufacturing costs can be reduced while increasing the flexibility of the protective tape by the guard band is made of a plastic or plastic, as provided in a further advantageous embodiment of the invention.
