Description

Die Erfindung betrifft einen Sicherheitsleibgurt nach dem Oberbegriff des Anspruchs 1.The invention relates to a safety belt according to the preamble of claim 1.

Aus der DE 80 29 570 U1 ist ein gattungsgemäßer Sicherheitsleibgurt bekannt. Der als Geschirr bezeichnete Bestandteil des gattungsgemäßen Sicherheitsleibgurtes wird auch als "Life-Belt" bezeichnet und beispielsweise von Seglern getragen, die an Bord eines Segelschiffs mithilfe des Life-Belts gesichert werden können. Hierzu weist das Geschirr zwei üblicherweise aus Metall bestehende Ösen auf, in welche dann Sorgleinen eingehängt werden können, die eine lösbare Verbindung mit dem Schiff ermöglichen. Wenn sich der Segler dann an Deck des Schiffes bewegt, kann er abwechselnd eine zur Sicherung dienende Sorgleine am Schiff festmachen, sich anschließend weiterbewegen, die zweite Sorgleine festmachen und die erste lösen, so dass auf diese Weise der Segler stets gesichert ist und dennoch problemlos jeden Punkt an Deck erreichen kann.From the DE 80 29 570 U1 is a generic safety belt known. The designated as harness component of the generic safety belt is also referred to as a "life belt" and worn, for example, by sailors who can be secured on board a sailing ship using the Life Belt. For this purpose, the harness has two usually made of metal eyelets, in which then sorghones can be hung, which allow a detachable connection to the ship. If the sailor then moves to the deck of the ship, he can alternately moor a securing line on the ship, then move on, the second Sorgleine moor and solve the first, so in this way the sailor is always secure and yet easily everyone Can reach point on deck.

Der gattungsgemäße Sicherheitsleibgurt weist als Weiterentwicklung den Vorteil auf, dass die Sorgleine jeweils ein Aufrollgerät aufweist, so dass die momentan nicht genutzte Sorgleine nicht in Form einer unhandlich langen Schlaufe herabhängt und auch die momentan genutzte Sorgleine stets so straff wie möglich gehalten wird, so dass auf diese Weise Stolpergefahren möglichst vermieden werden.The generic safety belt has, as a further development, the advantage that the care line each has a retractor, so that the currently unused care line does not hang in the form of an unwieldy long loop and Even the currently used care line is always kept as tight as possible, so that in this way stumbling hazards are avoided as possible.

Dabei ist nachteilig, dass die Aufrollgeräte federbelastet die Sorgleine einziehen. Sobald die entsprechende Federkraft durch entsprechend starken Zug an der Sorgleine überschritten wird, gibt das Aufrollgeräte die Sorgleine frei, so dass der Segler sich auf Wunsch weiter zu einem anderen Punkt entfernen kann.It is disadvantageous that the retractors spring-loaded draw the care line. As soon as the corresponding spring force is exceeded by a correspondingly strong pull on the care line, the retractor releases the care line so that the sailor can, if desired, move on to another point.

Dies ist grundsätzlich vorteilhaft, kann jedoch eine Gefahrenquelle darstellen, wenn beispielsweise bei höherem Seegang und dementsprechend unsicherem Stand des Seglers an Deck, oder bei Arbeiten hoch im Mast die Sorgleine plötzlich "nachgibt" und der Segler seine gewünschte, gesicherte Position auf einmal verliert.This is basically advantageous, but can be a source of danger, for example, when at high sea level and accordingly unsafe level of the sailor on deck, or when working high in the mast, the care suddenly "gives" and the sailor loses his desired, secured position at once.

Der Erfindung liegt die Aufgabe zugrunde, einen gattungsgemäßen Sicherheitsleibgurt dahingehend zu verbessern, dass dieser möglichst zuverlässig die Beibehaltung einer vom Benutzer gewünschten Position sicherstellt.The invention has for its object to improve a generic safety belt to the effect that this ensures the maintenance of a user-desired position as reliable as possible.

Diese Aufgabe wird durch einen Sicherheitsleibgurt mit den Merkmalen des Anspruchs 1 gelöst.This object is achieved by a safety belt with the features of claim 1.

Die Erfindung schlägt mit anderen Worten vor, die Aufrollgeräte der beiden Sorgleinen manuell verriegeln zu können. Beispielsweise bei den erwähnten Arbeiten hoch im Mast kann es wünschenswert sein, möglichst nah am Mast gesichert zu verbleiben und die Sorgleine nicht auf ihre maximale Länge aus dem Aufrollgerät herauszuziehen. In diesem Fall kann durch manuelle Verriegelung des Aufrollgerätes sichergestellt werden, dass eine vorbestimmte herausgezogene Länge der Sorgleine nicht überschritten wird, so dass die gewünschte Sicherung des Seglers nah am Mast zuverlässig beibehalten wird. Diese Verriegelung des Aufrollgerätes kann sozusagen als "Sicherheitsmodus" des Sicherheitsleibgurtes bezeichnet werden, da durch die so mögliche, enge Sicherung des Seglers an einem Halt gebenden Punkt Stolpergefahren für den Segler vermieden werden. Demgegenüber kann durch Lösen der Verriegelung des Aufrollgerätes der Sicherheitsleibgurt in einen Modus gebracht werden, der als "Komfort-Modus" bezeichnet werden kann und bei dem das Aufrollgerät in an sich bekannter Weise selbsttätig Federkraft unterstützt die Sorgleine jeweils auf ein möglichst straffes Maß einholt, unter Überwindung der Federkraft jedoch die Sorgleine so weit wie gewünscht freigibt.In other words, the invention proposes to be able to manually lock the retractors of the two sorgholes. For example, in the mentioned work high in the mast, it may be desirable to remain secured as close to the mast as possible and not to pull the Sorgleine to its maximum length from the retractor. In this case, it can be ensured by manual locking of the retractor, that a predetermined pulled-out length of the care line is not exceeded, so that the desired safety of the sailor is maintained reliably close to the mast. This locking of the retractor can, so to speak, as a "safety mode" of Sicherheitsleibgurtes are called, as avoided by the so possible, close security of the sailor at a halt-giving point tripping hazards for the sailor. In contrast, by loosening the locking of the retractor of the seat belt can be brought into a mode that can be referred to as "comfort mode" and in which the retractor in a conventional manner automatically spring force supports the Sorgleine each catching a taut as possible measure, under Overcoming the spring force, however, releases the sorghum as much as desired.

Die Aufrollgeräte weisen eine Bergeautomatik auf. Dabei ist vorgesehen, dass beispielsweise eine über Bord gegangene Person, die mithilfe der Sorgleine noch am Boot gehalten ist, außer Bords durch den Wellengang angehoben und wieder abgesenkt wird. Die Bergeautomatik bewirkt dabei, dass beim Anheben der Person die Sorgleine automatisch, nämlich federkraftunterstützt, eingeholt wird, nämlich im Aufrollgerät aufgerollt wird, während beim anschließenden Wellental die Person nicht ebenfalls nach unten abgesenkt wird und dabei die Sorgleine aus dem Aufrollgerät herausgezogen wird, sondern vielmehr in dieser Bewegungsrichtung das Aufrollgerät automatisch gesperrt ist, so dass in einer Funktionsweise, wie sie beispielsweise von Sperrklinken bekannt ist, in einer Richtung eine kontinuierliche Bewegung möglich ist, in der anderen Richtung jedoch in möglichst engen Stufen stets eine Arretierung dieser Bewegung erfolg.The retractors have automatic climbing. It is envisaged that, for example, a person gone overboard, who is still held on the boat with the aid of the care line, is lifted out of the waves by the waves and lowered again. The automatic climbing effect ensures that when lifting the person's care automatically, namely spring assisted, is obtained, namely rolled up in the retractor, while the subsequent wave trough the person is not also lowered down and thereby the care line is pulled out of the retractor, but rather in this direction of movement, the retractor is automatically locked, so that in a mode of operation, as is known, for example, pawls, in one direction, a continuous movement is possible in the other direction, however, always in the narrowest possible steps, a locking of this movement.

J Vorteilhaft können die Aufrollgeräte unmittelbar am Geschirr befestigt sein, also nicht einen Abschnitt der Sorgleine bilden, über den hinaus die Sorgleine dann noch weiter bis zum Geschirr verläuft. Durch die Anordnung des Aufrollgerätes direkt am Geschirr wird ein möglichst straffer Sitz des Aufrollgerätes am Körper des Seglers ermöglicht und damit ein hoher Tragekomfort des vorschlagsgemäßen Sicherheitsleibgurtes bewirkt. Zudem können durch diesen straff am Körper anliegenden Sitz der Aufrollgeräte ungewollte Beschädigungen am Boot oder Verletzungen des Seglers selbst vermieden werden, die ansonsten durch frei baumelnde Aufrollgeräte hervorgerufen werden könnten.Advantageously, the retractors can be attached directly to the harness, so do not form a portion of the sorghum, beyond which the care line then extends even further to the harness. The arrangement of the retractor directly on the harness as possible a tight fit of the retractor on the body of the sailor allows and thus causes a high level of comfort of the proposed Sicherheitsleibgurtes. In addition, unwanted damage to the boat or injury to the glider itself can be avoided by this tight fitting to the body seat of the retractors, which could otherwise be caused by free-hanging retractors.

Vorteilhaft können die Sorgleinen jeweils eine Länge von etwa 2 m aufweisen. Dies ermöglicht einerseits einen sehr großen Bewegungsfreiraum für den Benutzer, andererseits ist jedoch dadurch, dass die Aufrollgeräte manuell verriegelt werden können, die Sorgleine gewünscht kurz gehalten, so dass auch bei einer Länge von 2 m der Sorgleine keine Gefahr bestehen muss, dass der Segler stolpern und den Halt verlieren und die Sorgleine auf ihre maximale Länge ungewollt ausziehen kann.Advantageously, the care lines can each have a length of about 2 m. This allows on the one hand a very large freedom of movement for the user, on the other hand, however, characterized in that the retractors can be locked manually, the Sorgleine desired kept short, so that even with a length of 2 m of the care must be no danger that the sailor stumble and lose his grip and unintentionally take off the care line to its maximum length.

Vorteilhaft kann die Bergeautomatik wahlweise aktiviert oder abgeschaltet werden, so dass eine über Bord gegangene Person mit einem Handgriff diese Bergeautomatik aktivieren kann, es jedoch für sämtliche anderen Bewegungen an Deck nicht erforderlich ist, jeweils die Sperrfunktion der Bergeautomatik manuell zu lösen, um die entsprechende Sorgleine weiter aus dem Aufrollgerät herausziehen zu können, wie dies für die Fortbewegung des Benutzers an Deck des Bootes ansonsten erforderlich wäre.Advantageously, the automatic mountain climbing can be selectively activated or turned off, so that an overboard person with a handle can activate this automatic rescue, but it is not necessary for all other movements on deck to manually solve each of the lock function of automatic climbing to the corresponding care line continue to pull out of the retractor, as would otherwise be required for the movement of the user on the deck of the boat.

Eine besonders kompakte Ausgestaltung des Sicherheitsleibgurtes zu Gunsten eines hohen Tragekomforts und einer möglichst großen Bewegungsfreiheit für den Benutzer und um aufgrund möglichst kleiner baulicher Abmessungen der Aufrollgeräte Beschädigungsgefahren für das Boot und Verletzungsgefahren für den Benutzer zu minimieren, kann vorteilhaft vorgesehen sein, dass die beiden Aufrollgeräte in einem gemeinsamen Gehäuse zusammengefasst sind und beispielsweise die drehenden Anteile in solchen Aufrollgeräten auf einer gemeinsamen Achse angeordnet sind. Davon ausgehend, dass die beiden Sorgleinen stets nicht etwa parallel, sondern vielmehr in einem Winkel von 90° bis 180° zueinander verlaufen werden, um auf diese Weise einen Bewegungsfortschritt des Benutzers an Deck zu ermöglichen, kann jedoch vorteilhaft vorgesehen sein, dass die beiden drehenden Anteile der beiden Aufrollgeräte nicht auf einer einzigen, gemeinsamen Achse angeordnet sind, sondern auf zwei winklig zueinander ausgerichteten Achsen.A particularly compact design of the safety belt in favor of a high wearing comfort and the greatest possible freedom of movement for the user and to minimize due to the smallest possible structural dimensions of the retractors damage hazards to the boat and injury hazards to the user, can be advantageously provided that the two retractors in a common housing are summarized and, for example, the rotating parts are arranged in such Aufrollgeräten on a common axis. Assuming that the two sorghums are not always parallel, but rather at an angle of 90 ° to 180 ° to each other to allow in this way a movement progress of the user on deck, but can be advantageously provided that the two rotating Shares of the two retractors not on a single, are arranged on a common axis, but on two angularly aligned axes.

Bekanntlich kann das Aufrollgerät ähnlich eine Sperre aufweisen, wie dies in Ähnlicher Weise von den Sicherheitsgurten in Fahrzeugen bekannt ist. Abhängig von der Geschwindigkeit, mit welcher die Sorgleine aus dem Aufrollautomaten herausgezogen wird, wird die Sperre der Aufrollautomatik bei Überschreiten einer bestimmten Höchstgeschwindigkeit automatisch aktiviert, so dass die Sorgleine nicht weiter ausgezogen werden kann.As is known, the retractor may similarly include a barrier, as is similarly known from seat belts in vehicles. Depending on the speed with which the care line is pulled out of the retractor, the retractor lock is automatically activated when a certain maximum speed is exceeded, so that the care line can not be extended further.

Vorteilhaft kann vorgesehen sein, das Aufrollgerät nicht nur vorschlagsgemäß in der Weise zu beeinflussen, dass die Aufrollautomatik deaktiviert ist und die Sorgleine eine fest eingestellte Länge beibehält. Es kann nämlich in bestimmten Situationen nachteilig sein, wenn ein plötzlicher Ruck auf den Benutzer des Sicherheits-Leibgurts einwirkt, beispielsweise wenn der Benutzer mit witterungsbedingt schwankendem Gang über das ebenfalls schwankende Deck des Schiffs läuft. Dann kann ein plötzlicher Ruck gegebenenfalls zum Verlust des mühsam aufrechterhaltenen Gleichgewichts und zum Sturz des Benutzers führen. Daher kann vorteilhaft vorgesehen sein, die Aufrollautomatik zwar beizubehalten, so dass lose umherhängende Sorgleinen ausgeschlossen sind, dass jedoch die Sperre der Aufrollautomatik deaktiviert werden kann, so dass unabhängig von der Geschwindigkeit, mit welcher die Sorgleine aus dem Aufrollautomaten herausgezogen wird, die Sorgleine stets bis zum Endanschlag, also bis zu ihrer vollen Länge ausgezogen werden kann, so dass der Benutzer einen maximalen Bewegungsraum hat.Advantageously, it may be provided not only to influence the retractor according to the proposal in such a way that the automatic retractor is disabled and the care line retains a set length. Namely, it may be disadvantageous in certain situations when a sudden jerk is applied to the user of the safety waistbelt, for example when the user is walking over the likewise fluctuating deck of the ship due to weather-related fluctuating gait. Then, a sudden jolt may eventually result in the loss of the laboriously maintained balance and the fall of the user. Therefore, it may be advantageous to maintain the automatic retractor, so that loosely dangling care leashes are excluded, however, that the lock of the retractor can be disabled so that regardless of the speed at which the Sorgleine is pulled out of the retractor, the Sorgleine always up to the end stop, so can be pulled out to its full length, so that the user has a maximum range of motion.

Die Deaktivierung der Sperre kann im Sinne einer Umschaltung vollständig erfolgen, indem die Sperre - beispielsweise per Tastendruck - wahlweise aktiviert oder deaktiviert werden kann.The deactivation of the lock can be done completely in the sense of a switch by the lock - for example, by pressing a button - can be optionally activated or deactivated.

Alternativ dazu kann die Wirksamkeit der Sperre graduell einstellbar sein, indem ihre Auslösecharakteristik über eine Schraube, ein Reibelement oder dergleichen einstellbar ist. So kann je nach Einstellung der Sperre die Weiterbewegung der Sorgleine gegen einen einstellbaren Widerstand - also mit einer einstellbaren Bremswirkung - nach wie vor möglich sein. Bei weiterer Verstellung der Sperre im Sinne einer Zunahme der Bremswirkung wird irgendwann eine Einstellung erreicht, in der die Sperre, wenn sie anspricht, die bekannte, vollständige Sperrwirkung erzielt, die Sorgleine blockiert und deren weiteres Ausziehen verhindert. Auch wenn die Sperre bei einer derartigen Ausgestaltung stets wirksam bleibt und nicht vollständig abschaltbar ist, wird der Begriff der Deaktivierung der Sperre verwendet, da eben keine Blockade der Sorgleine erfolgt, wenn die Sperre lediglich eine Brems- und keine Blockierwirkung aufweist.Alternatively, the effectiveness of the lock may be gradually adjustable by adjusting its tripping characteristic over a Screw, a friction element or the like is adjustable. Thus, depending on the setting of the lock, the further movement of the care line against an adjustable resistance - ie with an adjustable braking effect - still be possible. Upon further adjustment of the barrier in the sense of an increase in the braking effect, a setting is eventually reached in which the barrier, when it responds, achieves the known, complete blocking effect, blocks the care lines and prevents them from being removed further. Even if the lock always remains effective in such a configuration and can not be completely switched off, the term of deactivation of the lock is used, since there is no blockage of the care line if the lock has only a braking and no blocking effect.

Die Sperren der Aufrollgeräte können Aufnahmetaschen aufweisen, in die ein Sperrkörper bei Erreichen der unzulässig hohen Auszugsgeschwindigkeit der Sorgleine eintauchen und dann eine Rolle oder Wickelachse blockieren, auf welche die Sorgleine aufgespult ist. In einem derartigen Fall kann eine mechanische Deaktivierung der Sperre beispielsweise dadurch bewirkt werden, dass Verdrängungskörper in die Aufnahmetaschen eingebracht werden, so dass die Sperrkörper nicht mehr in die Aufnahmetaschen eintauchen und die Rolle oder Wickelachse blockieren können.The locks of the retractors may have receiving pockets into which a locking body dive upon reaching the unacceptably high pull-out speed of the care line and then block a roll or winding axis on which the care line is wound. In such a case, a mechanical deactivation of the barrier can be effected, for example, by introducing displacement bodies into the receiving pockets, so that the blocking bodies can no longer dip into the receiving pockets and block the roller or winding axis.

Ein Ausführungsbeispiel der Erfindung wird nachfolgend anhand der rein schematischen Zeichnungen näher erläutert. Dabei zeigt

Fig. 1
eine perspektivische Ansicht auf ein Aufrollgerät mit einer Sorgleine, und
Fig. 2
das Aufrollgerät von Fig. 1 in einer auseinandergezogenen Darstellung und aus einer anderen Perspektive.
An embodiment of the invention will be explained in more detail with reference to the purely schematic drawings. It shows
Fig. 1
a perspective view of a retractor with a Sorgleine, and
Fig. 2
the retractor of Fig. 1 in an exploded view and from a different perspective.

Ein Aufrollgerät 1 ist als Teil eines Sicherheits-Leibgurts vorgesehen, wobei das Aufrollgerät 1 ein Gehäuse 2 aufweist, welches eine Befestigungsbohrung 3 ausbildet, so dass das Aufrollgerät 1 mit Hilfe dieser Befestigungsbohrung 3 an einem Geschirr des Sicherheits-Leibgurts befestigt werden kann. Aus dem Aufrollgerät 1 heraus erstreckt sich eine Sorgleine 4, die als flaches Band ausgestaltet ist. Das Gehäuse 2 besteht aus zwei Gehäuseschalen 5 und 6, die jeweils einen Abschnitt der Befestigungsbohrung 3 bilden und mit Hilfe von Schrauben 7 zusammengehalten sind.A retractor 1 is provided as part of a safety harness, wherein the retractor 1 has a housing 2, which forms a mounting hole 3, so that the retractor 1 can be secured by means of this mounting hole 3 on a harness of the safety harness. From the retractor 1 out a Sorgleine 4 extends, which is designed as a flat band. The housing 2 consists of two housing shells 5 and 6, each forming a portion of the mounting hole 3 and are held together by means of screws 7.

Bei dem dargestellten Ausführungsbeispiel ist vorgesehen, dass an das Gehäuse 2 ein Federhaus 8 angesetzt ist, wobei abweichend von dem dargestellten Ausführungsbeispiel die in diesem Federhaus 8 aufgenommene Wickelfeder auch in das Gehäuse 2 integriert sein kann. Beim dargestellten Ausführungsbeispiel jedoch ist vorgesehen, dass auch das Federhaus 8 mit Hilfe von Schrauben 7 an der Gehäuseschale 5 festgelegt ist.In the illustrated embodiment, it is provided that a barrel 8 is attached to the housing 2, wherein deviating from the illustrated embodiment, the coil spring accommodated in this barrel 8 can also be integrated into the housing 2. In the illustrated embodiment, however, it is provided that the barrel 8 is fixed by means of screws 7 on the housing shell 5.

Fig. 2 zeigt, dass im Inneren des Gehäuses 2 eine Wickeltrommel 9 mit einem zentralen Lager vorgesehen ist. Die Wickeltrommel 9 wirkt formschlüssig mit der im Federhaus 8 befindlichen Wickelfeder zusammen, so dass die Wickeltrommel 9 gegen die Wirkung der Wickelfeder bewegt werden kann und dadurch die Sorgleine 4 aus dem Gehäuse 2 des Aufrollgeräts 1 herausgezogen werden kann. Automatisch wird die Sorgleine 4 wieder aufgerollt, indem die Wickelfeder auf die Wickeltrommel 9 einwirkt und bei nachlassender, auf die Sorgleine 4 einwirkende Zugkraft die Sorgleine 4 wieder auf die Wickeltrommel 9 aufgespult wird. Fig. 2 shows that inside the housing 2, a winding drum 9 is provided with a central bearing. The winding drum 9 cooperates positively with the coil spring located in the barrel 8, so that the winding drum 9 can be moved against the action of the coil spring and thus the care line 4 can be pulled out of the housing 2 of the retractor 1. The care line 4 is automatically rolled up again by the winding spring acting on the winding drum 9 and, in the event of a decreasing tensile force acting on the care line 4, the care line 4 is rewound onto the winding drum 9.

Beidseitig von der Sorgleine 4 ist an der Wickeltrommel 9 jeweils eine doppelte Verzahnung vorgesehen: Einerseits innen, der Sorgleine 4 benachbart, eine wellenförmige, symmetrische Verzahnung 10, und zweitens dieser Verzahnung 10 benachbart, jedoch von der Sorgleine 4 weiter entfernt, eine asymmetrische Klinkenverzahnung 11.On both sides of the care line 4, a double toothing is provided on the winding drum 9: on the one hand inside, adjacent to the care line 4, a wave-shaped, symmetrical toothing 10, and secondly adjacent to this toothing 10, However, from the Sorgleine 4 further away, an asymmetric pawl teeth 11th

Mit der symmetrischen Verzahnung 10 wirkt eine Riegelachse 12 zusammen, die innerhalb des Gehäuses 2 untergebracht ist, mit einem außen am Gehäuse 2 zugänglichen Riegelknopf 14 verbunden ist, und die in ihrer Längsrichtung fixiert, jedoch um ihre Längsachse drehbeweglich ist. Die Riegelachse 12 weist entlang ihrer Längsachse einen mittleren Abschnitt mit kreisförmigem Vollquerschnitt auf und beidseitig davon Abschnitte 15, die jeweils eine Ausnehmung aufweisen, so dass die Riegelachse 12 in diesen beiden Abschnitten 15 jeweils lediglich einen etwa C-förmigen Teilquerschnitt aufweist.With the symmetrical toothing 10 cooperates a locking shaft 12 which is housed within the housing 2, is connected to an externally accessible on the housing 2 latch knob 14, and fixed in its longitudinal direction, but is rotatable about its longitudinal axis. The locking shaft 12 has along its longitudinal axis a central portion with a circular solid cross-section and on both sides thereof portions 15, each having a recess, so that the locking axis 12 in these two sections 15 each only has an approximately C-shaped partial cross-section.

Je nach Drehstellung der Riegelachse 12 kann die Wickeltrommel 9 wahlweise frei gedreht oder gesperrt werden: wenn die Ausnehmungen 15 zu der symmetrischen Verzahnung 10 gerichtet sind und die Verzahnung 10 durch die Ausnehmungen 15 läuft, ist die Wickeltrommel 9 frei drehbar. Durch eine entsprechende Drehung der Riegelachse 12 kann die Wickeltrommel 9 gesperrt werden, indem die Ausnehmungen 15 von der symmetrischen Verzahnung 10 abgewandt werden und die Riegelachse 12 stattdessen in jeweils eine Mulde der beiden Verzahnungen 10 eintaucht und somit die Drehbeweglichkeit der Wickeltrommel 9 verhindert.Depending on the rotational position of the locking shaft 12, the winding drum 9 can be either freely rotated or locked: when the recesses 15 are directed to the symmetrical toothing 10 and the toothing 10 passes through the recesses 15, the winding drum 9 is freely rotatable. By a corresponding rotation of the bolt axis 12, the winding drum 9 can be locked by the recesses 15 are turned away from the symmetrical toothing 10 and the bolt axis 12 instead immersed in a respective trough of the two teeth 10 and thus prevents the rotational mobility of the winding drum 9.

Mit der Klinkenverzahnung 11 wirken zwei Sperrklinken 16 zusammen, die auf einer Klinkenachse 17 montiert und insgesamt schwenkbeweglich gelagert sind. Die Betätigung dieser Klinkenachse 17 mitsamt der Sperrklinken 16 erfolgt über einen außen am Gehäuse 2 vorgesehenen Klinkenbügel 18.With the pawl teeth 11, two pawls 16 cooperate, which are mounted on a pawl axis 17 and mounted pivotally. The operation of this pawl axis 17 together with the pawls 16 via an outside of the housing 2 provided latch bracket 18th

Durch die Klinkenfunktion kann im Sinne einer Bergeautomatik die Sorgleine 4 automatisch, durch die auf die Wickeltrommel 9 einwirkende Wickelfeder unterstützt, auf die Wickeltrommel 9 aufgewickelt werden, wobei die Klinkenverzahnung 11 an den Sperrklinken 16 entlangläuft und die Sperrklinken 16 federbelastet in Art einer Wellenbewegung hin und her bewegt werden.By means of the pawl function, the care line 4 can automatically be wound on the winding drum 9 in the sense of automatic climbing, by means of the winding spring acting on the winding drum 9, the pawl toothing 11 being wound on the winding drum 9 Pawls 16 runs along and the pawls 16 spring-loaded in the manner of a wave motion are moved back and forth.

Die umgekehrte Bewegungsrichtung der Wickeltrommel 9 jedoch führt nicht zu einem Auszug der Sorgleine 4 aus dem Gehäuse 2, sondern dazu, dass die Sperrklinken 16 zwischen zwei benachbarte Klinken der Klinkenverzahnung 11 eingreifen und somit eine weitere Drehbewegung der Wickeltrommel 9 in dieser Drehrichtung verhindern. Durch Druck auf einen Löseknopf 19 wird die Klinkenachse 17 um ihre Längsachse verschwenkt, beispielsweise indem der Löseknopf 19 und die Klinkenachse 17 mittels zweier Schrägflächen wie ein Gewinde mit einer extremen Gewindesteigung zusammenwirken. Durch diese Schwenkbewegung werden die Sperrklinken 16 außer Eingriff mit der Klinkenverzahnung 11 gebracht, so dass dann die Wickeltrommel 9 wieder in beiden Bewegungsrichtungen drehbar ist und die Sorgleine 4 wahlweise ausgezogen oder eingefahren werden kann.However, the reverse direction of movement of the winding drum 9 does not lead to an extract of the care 4 from the housing 2, but to the fact that the pawls 16 engage between two adjacent pawls of the pawl teeth 11 and thus prevent further rotational movement of the winding drum 9 in this direction. By pressing a release button 19, the pawl axis 17 is pivoted about its longitudinal axis, for example, by the release button 19 and the pawl shaft 17 cooperate by means of two inclined surfaces such as a thread with an extreme thread pitch. By this pivoting movement, the pawls 16 are brought out of engagement with the pawl teeth 11, so that then the winding drum 9 is rotatable again in both directions of movement and the care line 4 can be either pulled out or retracted.
