Description

Gebiet der ErfindungField of the invention

Die Erfindung betrifft eine Aufhängevorrichtung mit Ausleger für Fahnen sowie einen Fahnenmast mit einer derartigen Aufhängevorrichtung.The invention relates to a suspension with boom for flags and a flagpole with such a suspension.

Hintergrundbackground

EP 0576308 A beschreibt einen Fahnenmast mit einem Ausleger. Die Fahne ist über zwei Seile hissbar befestigt, die sich vom Ausleger zu einer Haltvorrichtung in Form eines Kederprofils erstrecken. Im Kederprofil ist der Keder, d.h. der verdicke Rand der Fahne, gehalten. Bei dieser Ausgestaltung hängt die Fahne dauernd an den Seilen. Wenn die Seile reissen, fällt die Fahne zu Boden. EP 0576308 A describes a flagpole with a boom. The flag is attached by two cables hissbar extending from the boom to a holding device in the form of a Kederprofils. In Kederprofil the piping, ie the thickened edge of the flag, held. In this embodiment, the flag depends permanently on the ropes. When the ropes break, the flag falls to the ground.

Darstellung der ErfindungPresentation of the invention

Es stellt sich die Aufgabe, die Sicherheit einer derartigen Anordnung zu verbessern. Diese Aufgabe wird von der Aufhängevorrichtung gemäss Anspruch 1 gelöst.It has as its object to improve the security of such an arrangement. This object is achieved by the suspension device according to claim 1.

Demgemäss ist im Ausleger ein Lager vorgesehen, das derart ausgestaltet ist, dass die gehisste Haltevorrichtung (z.B. in Form eines Kederprofils) durch Zug an der Seilanordnung von einer ersten zu einer zweiten Position entlang einer Verschlussrichtung bewegt werden kann. Weiter besitzt die Aufhängevorrichtung ein Auflager, mit dem die Haltevorrichtung in der zweiten, nicht aber in der ersten Position gegen die Schwerkraft abgestützt wird. Diese Komponenten sind derart angeordnet, dass die Haltevorrichtung mittels der Seilanordnung in der ersten Position gehisst und abgesenkt werden kann, nicht aber in der zweiten Position.Accordingly, a bearing is provided in the boom, which is configured such that the hoisted holding device (eg in the form of a Kederprofils) can be moved by pulling on the cable assembly from a first to a second position along a closing direction. Next, the suspension device has a support with which the holding device is supported in the second, but not in the first position against gravity. These components are arranged such that the holding device can be raised and lowered by means of the cable arrangement in the first position, but not in the second position.

Die Verschlussrichtung ist vorzugsweise horizontal, sie kann aber auch geneigt zur Horizontalen verlaufen.The closure direction is preferably horizontal, but it can also be inclined to the horizontal.

Somit kann die gehisste Haltevorrichtung durch Zug an der Seilanordnung in die zweite Position gebracht werden, wo das Gewicht der Fahne und der Haltevorrichtung vom Auflager übernommen wird, so dass die Seilanordnung entlastet werden kann. Dadurch werden gegenüber bekannten Lösungen, wo Wind und Wetter ständig Bewegungen auf die gespannte Seilanordnung ausüben, die Alterungsprozesse an der Seilanordnung verlangsamt. Darüber hinaus kann die Fahne, wenn sie sich in der zweiten Position befindet, auch bei einem Reissen der Seilanordnung nicht herunterfallen.Thus, the hoisted holding device can be brought by train on the cable assembly in the second position, where the weight of the flag and the holding device is taken over by the support, so that the cable assembly can be relieved. As a result, in comparison to known solutions, where wind and weather constantly exert movements on the tensioned cable arrangement, the aging processes on the cable arrangement are slowed down. In addition, the flag when it is in the second position, even when a rupture of the rope assembly does not fall.

Vorteilhaft weist das Lager einen entlang der Verschlussrichtung am Ausleger verfahrbaren Schlitten auf, der die Haltevorrichtung in gehisstem Zustand aufnimmt. Im gehissten Zustand ist die Haltevorrichtung entlang der Verschlussrichtung gegenüber dem Schlitten gehalten, d.h. sie wird beim Überführen von der ersten in die zweite Position relativ zum Schlitten nicht wesentlich bewegt, vielmehr fährt der Schlitten mit ihr mit. Vorzugsweise erfolgt das Halten der gehissten Haltevorrichtung im Schlitten in Verschlussrichtung über einen Formschluss, indem mindestens ein Vorsprung der Halterung in eine vertikal verlaufende Ausnehmung am Schlitten eingreift (alternativ kann die Ausnehmung an der Halterung angeordnet sein und der Vorsprung am Schlitten).Advantageously, the bearing has a slide which can be moved along the locking direction on the arm and which receives the retaining device in a hoisted state. In the raised state, the holding device is held along the closing direction relative to the carriage, i. it is not substantially moved when transferring from the first to the second position relative to the carriage, but instead the carriage travels with it. Preferably, holding the hoisted holding device in the carriage in the closing direction via a form fit by at least one projection of the holder engages in a vertically extending recess on the carriage (alternatively, the recess may be disposed on the holder and the projection on the carriage).

Die Aufhängevorrichtung kann weiter mit mindestens einem Riegel ausgestattet werden, der eine erste, abgesenkte und eine zweite, angehobene Stellung besitzt. Er ist so angeordnet, dass er von der Haltevorrichtung beim Hissen beaufschlagt und von der ersten in die zweite Stellung übergebracht wird. Wenn sich der Riegel in der ersten, abgesenkten Stellung befindet, verriegelt er den Schlitten im Ausleger gegen den Zug der Seilanordnung. Wenn er beim Hissen in die zweite Stellung angehoben wird, gibt er den Schlitten frei, so dass dieser von der Seilanordnung ruckartig in seine zweite Position übergeführt werden kann.The hanger can be further equipped with at least one latch having a first, lowered and a second, raised position. It is arranged so that it is acted upon by the holding device during hoisting and transferred from the first to the second position. When the latch is in the first, lowered position, it locks the carriage in the boom against the pull of the cable assembly. If he raised to the second position while hoisting is, he releases the carriage, so that it can be transferred from the rope assembly jerkily in its second position.

Durch Verwendung von mindestens zwei Riegeln dieser Art, welche in Verschlussrichtung (d.h. in Richtung parallel zum Ausleger) voneinander beabstandet sind, kann sichergestellt werden, dass der Schlitten erst dann freigegeben wird, wenn die Haltevorrichtung sich in ihrer vollständig gehissten, horizontalen Position befindet. Solange sie noch schräg hängt, vermag sie nicht beide Riegel auszulösen.By using at least two bars of this type which are spaced apart in the closing direction (i.e., in the direction parallel to the boom), it can be ensured that the carriage is not released until the holding device is in its fully raised, horizontal position. As long as she is still at an angle, she can not trigger both bars.

In einer besonders vorteilhaften Ausführung besitzt die Aufhängevorrichtung eine Federvorrichtung und einen Einrastmechanismus. Die Federvorrichtung übt auf die sich in der zweiten Position befindliche Halterung eine Kraft aus, welche diese in die erste Position zu drängen sucht. Der Einrastmechanismus hält die Haltevorrichtung gegen die Kraft der Federvorrichtung in der ersten Position. Er ist so ausgestaltet, dass die Haltevorrichtung durch einen ersten Zug an der Seilanordnung in den Einrastmechanismus eingerastet werden kann. Durch einen zweiten Zug an der Seilanordnung kann die im Einrastmechanismus eingerastete Haltevorrichtung wieder freigegeben werden, so dass sie von der Federvorrichtung zurück in die zweite Position gebracht wird. Entsprechende Einrastmechanismen, welche z.B. aus Kugelschreibern oder dergleichen bekannt sind, kennt der Fachmann.In a particularly advantageous embodiment, the suspension device has a spring device and a latching mechanism. The spring device exerts on the holder located in the second position, a force which seeks to urge them into the first position. The latching mechanism holds the holding device against the force of the spring device in the first position. It is designed so that the holding device can be engaged by a first train on the cable assembly in the latching mechanism. By a second pull on the cable assembly, the latched in the latching mechanism holding device can be released again, so that it is brought from the spring device back to the second position. Corresponding latching mechanisms, which e.g. from pens or the like are known to the skilled person.

Ist die Aufhängevorrichtung mit einem Schlitten wie oben beschrieben ausgestattet, so wirken die Federvorrichtung und der Einrastmechanismus vorteilhaft über den Schlitten auf die Haltevorrichtung.If the suspension device is equipped with a carriage as described above, then the spring device and the latching mechanism advantageously act on the carriage via the carriage.

Die Erfindung betrifft auch einen Fahnenmast mit einer Aufhängevorrichtung dieser Art. Die Aufhängevorrichtung kann jedoch auch ohne Mast eingesetzt werden, z.B. an einer Hausmauer.The invention also relates to a flagpole with a suspension device of this type. However, the suspension device can also be used without a mast, e.g. on a house wall.

Sie umfasst zwei Seile, welche am unteren Ende eines vertikal im oder am Mast 1 verlaufenden Abschnitts 7 miteinander verbunden sind. Am oberen Ende des Abschnitts 7 gehen diese Seile an einer ersten Umlenkrolle 10 in einen horizontalen Abschnitt 8 über und werden zu einer zweiten bzw. einer dritten Umlenkrolle 11, 12 geführt. Die erste Umlenkrolle ist im oberen Endbereich des Masts 1 angeordnet, die zweite und die dritte Umlenkrolle 11, 12 sind am Schlitten 5 montiert. An der zweiten Umlenkrolle 11 werden die beiden Seile getrennt, und ein Erstes davon verläuft von der zweiten Umlenkrolle 11 über einen Abschnitt 9a direkt zur Haltevorrichtung 6. Das zweite Seil läuft von der zweiten Unlenkrolle 11 horizontal weiter zur dritten Umlenkrolle 12 und von dort über einen vertikalen Abschnitt 9b ebenfalls zur Haltevorrichtung 6. Somit ist die Haltevorrichtung 6 an zwei voneinander beabstandeten Stellen an zwei Seilen aufgehängt. Indem die beiden Seile an ihren der Haltevorrichtung gegenüber liegenden Enden miteinander verbunden sind, kann sichergestellt werden, dass beide Seile ungefähr die gleiche Zugkraft auf die Haltevorrichtung 6 ausüben.A cable arrangement 7, 8, 9a, 9b serves to suspend the holding device 6 on the boom 4 or slide 5. She is from the in Fig. 1 introduced right end into the boom and deflected at this down to the holding device 6 out. It comprises two cables, which are connected to one another at the lower end of a section 7 extending vertically in or on the mast 1. At the upper end of section 7, these cables pass over a first deflection roller 10 into a horizontal section 8 and are guided to a second or a third deflection roller 11, 12. The first deflection roller is arranged in the upper end region of the mast 1, the second and the third deflection roller 11, 12 are mounted on the carriage 5. At the second guide roller 11, the two cables are separated, and a first thereof extends from the second guide roller 11 via a portion 9a directly to Holding device 6. The second cable runs from the second guide roller 11 horizontally further to the third guide roller 12 and from there via a vertical portion 9b also to the holding device 6. Thus, the holding device 6 is suspended at two spaced locations on two ropes. By the two ropes are connected to each other at their ends opposite the holding device, it can be ensured that both ropes exert approximately the same tensile force on the holding device 6.

Zieht der Benutzer am Abschnitt 7 der Seilanordnung, wird die Fahne gehisst. Dabei übt die Seilanordnung über die zweite und dritte Umlenkrolle 11 bzw. 12 eine horizontale, gegen den Mast 1 gerichtete Kraft auf den Schlitten 5 aus. Gegen diese Kraft wird der Schlitten 5 jedoch von vorzugsweise mindestens zwei Riegeln 14 gehalten. Jeder Riegel 14 ist schwenkbar in einem Schwenklager 15 am Schlitten 5 gehalten. Ein längerer Abschnitt 14a des Riegels 14 erstreckt sich vom Schwenklager 15 schräg nach unten, während ein kürzerer Abschnitt 14b an einen Absatz 16 des Auslegers 4 oberhalb des Schlittens 5 ansteht und so den Schlitten 5 gegen die horizontale Kraft der Seilanordnung arretiert.If the user pulls on section 7 of the cable arrangement, the flag is hoisted. In this case, the cable arrangement via the second and third guide rollers 11 and 12 exerts a horizontal force directed against the mast 1 on the carriage 5. However, the carriage 5 is held by preferably at least two bars 14 against this force. Each latch 14 is pivotally held in a pivot bearing 15 on the carriage 5. A longer portion 14a of the bolt 14 extends obliquely downward from the pivot bearing 15, while a shorter portion 14b abuts a shoulder 16 of the boom 4 above the carriage 5 and so locks the carriage 5 against the horizontal force of the cable assembly.

Beim Hissen der Fahne 3 fährt die Haltevorrichtung 6, wie in Fig. 2 dargestellt, von unten in den Schlitten 5 ein. Dabei werden seitliche Vorsprünge 18 der Haltevorrichtung 6 in vertikal verlaufende Ausnehmungen 19 am Schlitten 5 eingeführt, so dass die Haltevorrichtung 6 in Verschlussrichtung im Schlitten 5 über einen (horizontalen) Formschluss gehalten ist.When hoisting the flag 3, the holding device 6 moves, as in Fig. 2 shown, from below into the carriage 5 a. In this case, lateral projections 18 of the holding device 6 are inserted into vertically extending recesses 19 on the carriage 5, so that the holding device 6 is held in the closing direction in the carriage 5 via a (horizontal) positive connection.

Beim Hissen schlägt die Haltevorrichtung 6 gegen die längeren, unteren Abschnitte 14a der Riegel an und hebt diese aus ihrer ersten, abgesenkten Stellung langsam zu einer zweiten, angehobenen Stellung. Dabei geben die oberen Abschnitte 14b der Riegel 14 den jeweiligen Absatz 16 zu einem bestimmten Zeitpunkt frei, worauf sich der Schlitten 5 zusammen mit der Haltevorrichtung 6 aus der in Fig. 2 gezeigten ersten Stellung entlang einer horizontalen Verschlussrichtung 20 in die in Fig. 3 gezeigte zweite Stellung. Dabei kommt die Haltevorrichtung 6 auf einem oder mehreren Auflagern 21 zu liegen, von denen in Fig. 3 eines symbolisch dargestellt ist, die Auflager 21 nehmen das Gewicht der Haltevorrichtung 6 auf. Sie sind vorzugsweise am Ausleger 4 befestigt. Beispielsweise können sie so seitlich der Haltevorrichtung 6 angeordnet sein, dass sie eine horizontale Fläche bilden, auf welche die Vorsprünge 18 beim Verfahren aus der ersten Stellung (Fig. 2) in die zweite Stellung (Fig. 3) auffahren, so dass die Vorsprünge 18 in der zweiten Stellung auf den Auflagern 21 aufliegen.When hoisted the holding device 6 strikes against the longer, lower portions 14a of the bolt and slowly lifts it from its first, lowered position to a second, raised position. The upper portions 14b of the bolt 14 release the respective shoulder 16 at a certain point in time, whereupon the carriage 5 together with the holding device 6 from the in Fig. 2 shown first position along a horizontal closure direction 20 in the in Fig. 3 shown second position. In this case, the holding device 6 comes to rest on one or more supports 21, of which in Fig. 3 one is shown symbolically, the supports 21 take on the weight of the holding device 6. They are preferably attached to the boom 4. For example, they may be arranged laterally of the holding device 6 such that they form a horizontal surface on which the projections 18 in the method from the first position (FIG. Fig. 2 ) to the second position ( Fig. 3 ), so that the projections 18 rest on the supports 21 in the second position.

Wie aus Fig. 1 - 3 ersichtlich, sind an der Aufhängevorrichtung weiter eine Federvorrichtung, z.B. mindestens eine Zugfeder 23, sowie ein Einrastmechanismus 24 vorgesehen. Die Federvorrichtung bzw. die Zugfeder 23 erstreckt sich zwischen dem Ausleger 4 und dem Schlitten und wird gespannt, wenn der Schlitten 5 und die Haltevorrichtung 6 von der ersten in die zweite Position übergehen. Somit übt die Federvorrichtung auf die sich in der zweiten Position befindliche Haltevorrichtung 6 und den Schlitten 5 eine Kraft hin zur ersten Position aus. Gegen diese Kraft werden die Haltevorrichtung 6 und der Schlitten 5 jedoch vom Einrastmechanismus 24 gehalten. Dieser Einrastmechanismus, dessen Aufbau im Folgenden noch genauer beschrieben wird, ist so ausgestaltet, dass die Haltevorrichtung 6 und der Schlitten 5 durch einen ersten Zug an der Seilanordnung in ihm eingerastet werden können und durch einen darauf folgenden, zweiten Zug wieder fregegeben werden.How out Fig. 1-3 can be seen on the suspension further a spring device, for example at least one tension spring 23, and a latching mechanism 24 are provided. The spring device or the tension spring 23 extends between the boom 4 and the carriage and is tensioned when the carriage 5 and the holding device 6 pass from the first to the second position. Thus, the spring device applies a force to the first position in the second position holding device 6 and the carriage 5. However, the holding device 6 and the carriage 5 are held by the latching mechanism 24 against this force. This latching mechanism, the structure of which will be described in more detail below, is designed such that the holding device 6 and the carriage 5 can be engaged in it by a first pull on the cable arrangement and be released again by a subsequent, second pull.

Die Funktion der Vorrichtung ist also derart, dass der Benutzer zum Hissen der Fahne wie üblich an der Seilanordnung zieht, so dass die Fahne 3 mit der Haltevorrichtung 6 angehoben wird und in den Schlitten 5 einfährt. Sobald alle der Riegel 14 den Schlitten 5 freigeben, bewegt sich dieser ruckartig von der ersten in die zweite Stellung und rastet im Einrastmechanismus 24 ein. Die in der Seilanordnung aufgebaute elastische Zugspannung stellt dabei sicher, dass die Bewegung in die zweite Stellung vollständig ausgeführt wird, selbst wenn der Benutzer in mitten der Bewegung das Seil loslassen sollte. Um die ruckartige Bewegung des Schlittens 5 abzubremsen, sollte an geeigneter Stellung ein gedämpfter Anschlag vorgesehen sein.The function of the device is thus such that the user draws to hoist the flag as usual on the cable assembly, so that the flag 3 is lifted with the holding device 6 and enters the carriage 5. As soon as all of the bolts 14 release the carriage 5, this moves abruptly from the first into the second position and locks in the latching mechanism 24 a. The elastic tension built up in the cable arrangement ensures that the movement to the second position is completed, even if the user should release the cable in the middle of the movement. To decelerate the jerky movement of the carriage 5, a damped stop should be provided at a suitable position.

Nun ist die Fahne gegen Zug durch die Auflager 21 gesichert. Will der Benutzer die Fahne wieder absenken, zieht er nochmals kurz an der Seilanordnung, so dass der Einrastmechanismus 24 die Haltevorrichtung 6 und den Schlitten 5 wieder freigibt, worauf sich diese durch die Kraft der Federvorrichtung 23 wieder zurück in ihre erste Position bewegen, so dass die Haltevorrichtung 6 nicht mehr auf den Auflagern 21 aufliegt. Nun kann die Haltevorrichtung 6 mit der Fahne 3 an der Seilanordnung abgesenkt werden.Now the flag is secured against train by the supports 21. Will the user to lower the flag again, he pulls briefly again on the rope assembly, so that the latching mechanism 24, the holding device 6 and the carriage 5 releases again, whereupon they move by the force of the spring device 23 back to its first position, so that the holding device 6 no longer rests on the supports 21. Now, the holding device 6 can be lowered with the flag 3 on the rope assembly.

Im Folgenden werden noch einige spezielle Aspekte der Vorrichtung beschrieben.In the following some special aspects of the device will be described.

Riegel:Bars:

Die Riegel 14 sind so ausgestaltet, dass beide betätigt werden müssen, bevor der Schlitten 5 freigegeben wird. Dies hat den im Folgenden anhand von Fig. 4 illustrierten Vorteil.The bars 14 are designed so that both must be operated before the carriage 5 is released. This has the following with reference to Fig. 4 illustrated advantage.

Insbesondere wenn die Abschnitte 9a, 9b der Seilanordnung (in Fig. 4 nicht dargestellt) nicht symmetrisch an der Fahne bzw. an der Haltevorrichtung 6 befestigt sind, kann die Haltevorrichtung 6 beim Hissen etwas schräg hängen. Somit wird sie zunächst nur einen der Riegel 24 anheben. Erst wenn sie vollständig in ihre horizontale Stellung angehoben ist, gibt sie beide Riegel frei, so dass der Schlitten 5 (in Fig. 4 vereinfacht dargestellt) in die zweite Position übergeführt wird.In particular, when the sections 9a, 9b of the cable arrangement (in Fig. 4 not shown) are not symmetrically attached to the flag or on the holding device 6, the holding device 6 can hang slightly inclined when hoisting. Thus, it will initially raise only one of the latch 24. Only when it is fully raised to its horizontal position, it releases both bars, so that the carriage 5 (in Fig. 4 simplified) is transferred to the second position.

Aufhängevorrichtung:suspension:

Der Ausleger, der Schlitten sowie die Haltevorrichtung sind in Fig. 1 - 3 nur schematisch dargestellt. Vorzugweise sind sie aus Profilkörpern aufgebaut, insbesondere aus Metallprofilen. Eine mögliche Ausgestaltung ist in Fig. 5 dargestellt. Wie daraus ersichtlich, bildet Ausleger 4 vorteilhaft ein Profil, welches seitlich und von oben den Schlitten 5 sowie die (gehisste) Haltevorrichtung 6 umgibt. Schlitten 5 ist ebenfalls als nach unten offenes U-Profil ausgeführt. Seitlich am Schlitten 5 sind zwei Rollen 24 an einer sich durch den Schlitten 5 erstreckenden Achse 25 angeordnet. Diese Rollen 24 laufen auf zwei Absätzen 26, welche den Innenseiten des Auslegers 4 entlang verlaufen. Auf den Rollen 24 ist der Schlitten 5 im Ausleger 4 verfahrbar gelagert. Haltevorrichtung 6 ist als Kederprofil ausgestaltet, in welchem der Keder 28 der Fahne 3 gehalten wird.The boom, the carriage and the holding device are in Fig. 1-3 shown only schematically. Preferably, they are constructed of profiled bodies, in particular of metal profiles. One possible embodiment is in Fig. 5 shown. As can be seen, boom 4 advantageously forms a profile which surrounds the carriage 5 and the (raised) holding device 6 laterally and from above. Carriage 5 is also designed as a downwardly open U-profile. Laterally on the carriage 5, two rollers 24 are arranged on an axis 25 extending through the carriage 5. These rollers 24 run on two shoulders 26, which run along the inner sides of the boom 4. On the rollers 24 of the carriage 5 is movably mounted in the boom 4. Holding device 6 is configured as Kederprofil, in which the piping 28 of the flag 3 is held.

Rastmechanismus:Detent mechanism:

Der in Fig. 1 - 3 nur schematisch dargestellte Rastmechanismus ist in einem Ausführungsbeispiel in Fig. 6 - 8 näher dargestellt. Er umfasst zwei Führungsplatten und einen Läufer 31.The in Fig. 1-3 only schematically illustrated latching mechanism is in one embodiment in Fig. 6-8 shown in more detail. It comprises two guide plates and a rotor 31.

Die Führungsplatten 30 sind fest am Ausleger 4 oder am Mast angeordnet. In der zweiten Position der Haltevorrichtung 6 bzw. des Schlittens 5 befindet sich der Läufer 31 zwischen den beiden Führungsplatten 30.The guide plates 30 are fixedly arranged on the boom 4 or on the mast. In the second position of the holding device 6 and the carriage 5, the rotor 31 is located between the two guide plates 30th

Der Läufer 31 ist über eine horizontal angeordnete Achse 32 schwenkbar am Schlitten 5 befestigt und hält einen Führungsstift 33, dessen beide Enden in je ein Labyrinth 35 in den Führungsplatten 30 eingreifen.The rotor 31 is pivotally mounted on a horizontally arranged axis 32 on the carriage 5 and holds a guide pin 33, the two ends engage in a respective labyrinth 35 in the guide plates 30.

Die Form des Labyrinths 35 ist am besten aus Fig. 6 ersichtlich, in der mit einer gestrichelten Linie der Verlauf des Führungsstifts 33 beim Ein- und Ausrasten dargestellt ist. Wie ersichtlich, fährt der Führungsstift 33 beim Bewegen des Schlittens 5 in die zweite Position in das Labyrinth 35 ein. Dabei durchläuft er vorteilhaft einen geraden Pfad 38. Durch Reibschluss wird verhindert, dass der Führungsstift 33 dabei gegen unten zur Flanke 39 hin fällt. Der Reibschluss wird in der Ausführung nach Fig. 8 durch Seitenarme 36 erreicht, welche am Schlitten 5 reiben. Sollte der Führungsstift 33 dennoch nach unten fallen, so wird er aufgrund der Schlittengeschwindigkeit auf eine Auffangflanke 40 auftreffen, welche ihn wieder nach oben führt. Sodann läuft der Führungsstift 33 über eine erste Umlenkflanke 41 und nach dem Loslassen der Seilanordnung in eine Ausnehmung 42, wo er gehalten wird. Nun befindet sich der Schlitten 5 in der zweiten Position. Wird wieder am Seil gezogen, trifft der Führungsstift 33 auf eine zweite Umlenkflanke 43 und, wenn der Benutzer die Kraft auf die Seilanordnung wieder reduziert, auf die Flanke 39, wo er wieder nach oben geführt wird, worauf er das Labyrinth 35 verlässt.The shape of the labyrinth 35 is best Fig. 6 can be seen in the dashed line with the course of the guide pin 33 during engagement and disengagement is shown. As can be seen, the guide pin 33 moves into the labyrinth 35 when the carriage 5 is moved to the second position. In doing so, it advantageously passes through a straight path 38. Friction locking prevents that the guide pin 33 falls down towards the flank 39 down. The frictional connection is in the execution Fig. 8 reached by side arms 36 which rub on the carriage 5. Should the guide pin 33 still fall down, so he will hit due to the carriage speed on a collecting edge 40, which leads him back up. Then, the guide pin 33 runs over a first deflection edge 41 and after releasing the cable arrangement in a recess 42, where it is held. Now the carriage 5 is in the second position. When pulling on the rope again, the guide pin 33 encounters a second deflection flank 43 and, when the user again reduces the force on the cable arrangement, on the flank 39, where it is guided upward again, whereupon it leaves the labyrinth 35.

Wie erwähnt, ist es von Vorteil, wenn der Läufer 31 mit Reibschluss an den Schlitten 5 gekoppelt ist, und zwar selbsthemmend, d.h. derart, dass der Läufer 31 unter seinem eigenen Gewicht nicht um die Achse 32 schwenkt. Dadurch wird, wie oben beschrieben, die Einrastbewegung zuverlässiger. Weiter funktioniert der Einrasmechanismus auch dann, wenn er z.B. zu Test- oder Inspektionszwecken über Kopf betätigt wird, d.h. wenn der Ausleger 4 sich unterhalb des Schlittens 5 befindet.As mentioned, it is advantageous if the rotor 31 is frictionally coupled to the carriage 5, self-locking, i. such that the rotor 31 does not pivot about the axis 32 under its own weight. Thereby, as described above, the latching movement becomes more reliable. Furthermore, the razor mechanism will work even if it is e.g. is operated overhead for testing or inspection purposes, i. when the boom 4 is located below the carriage 5.

Seilführung:Cable guidance:

Wie in Fig. 1 gestrichelt eingezeichnet, sind die beiden Seile der Seilanordnung vorzugsweise über eine Hilfsrolle 45 miteinander verbunden. Die Hilfsrolle 45 ist über einen Verdriller 46 mit einem Zugseil 47 verbunden. Der Verdriller erlaubt es, Drehbewegungen zwischen dem Zugseil 47 und dem Hilfsrolle 45 aufzunehmen, so dass die Seile der Seilanordnung sich nicht verwickeln können. Der Benutzer bedient das Zugseil 47.As in Fig. 1 dashed lines, the two cables of the cable assembly are preferably connected to each other via an auxiliary roller 45. The auxiliary roller 45 is connected via a Verdriller 46 with a pull cable 47. The twisting makes it possible to accommodate rotational movements between the pulling cable 47 and the auxiliary roller 45, so that the cables of the cable arrangement can not entangle. The user operates the pull rope 47.

Teleskopische Ausführung:Telescopic version:

Vorzugsweise ist die Haltevorrichtung 6 teleskopisch ausgestaltet, wie dies in Fig. 9 und 10 dargestellt ist, so dass sie der Grösse der jeweiligen Fahne 3 angepasst werden können. Hierzu weist die Haltevorrichtung 6 mehrere teleskopisch ausfahrbare, gegeneinander feststellbare Segmente 6a, 6b, 6c auf. In Fig. 9 ist Haltevorrichtung kürzer ausgestaltet als in Fig. 10, so dass sie der Grösse der jeweiligen Fahne 3 angepasst ist.Preferably, the holding device 6 is designed telescopically, as in FIGS. 9 and 10 is shown, so that they can be adapted to the size of the respective flag 3. For this purpose, the holding device 6 a plurality of telescopically extendable, mutually detectable segments 6a, 6b, 6c. In Fig. 9 Holding device is designed shorter than in Fig. 10 so that it is adapted to the size of each flag 3.

Optional kann auch der Ausleger 4 teleskopisch ausgestaltet sein. In diesem Falle weist auch der Ausleger 4 mehrere teleskopisch ausfahrbare, gegeneinander feststellbare Segmente 4a, 4b, 4c auf.Optionally, the boom 4 can be designed telescopically. In this case, the boom 4 has a plurality of telescopically extendable, mutually detectable segments 4a, 4b, 4c.

Bemerkungen:Remarks:

Zusammenfassend besitzt die Aufhängevorrichtung für die Fahne 3 also einen Ausleger 4, an welchem horizontal verfahrbar ein Schlitten 5 angeordnet ist. Am Schlitten 5 ist über eine Seilanordnung 7, 8, 9 eine Haltevorrichtung 6 für die Fahne hissbar befestigt. Wird die Haltevorrichtung 6 hochgezogen, so fährt sie in den Schlitten 5 ein. Der Schlitten 5 wird durch die Riegel 14 freigegeben, bewegt sich sodann gegen die Kraft der Federanordnung zum Mast 1 hin und wird arretiert. Nun ruht er auf der Auflage 21, die sein Gewicht aufnimmt und die Seilanordnung entlastet. Soll die Fahne 3 wieder abgesenkt werden, zieht der Benutzer nochmals kurz an der Seilanordnung, worauf der Schlitten 5 freigegeben wird und aufgrund der Kraft der Federanordnung 23 in seine Ursprungsposition zurückfährt, von wo die Haltevorrichtung 6 mit der Fahne 3 wieder abgesenkt werden kann.In summary, the suspension device for the flag 3 thus has a boom 4, on which a carriage 5 is arranged horizontally movable. On the carriage 5, a holding device 6 is attached to the flag hissbar via a cable assembly 7, 8, 9. If the holding device 6 is pulled up, it moves into the carriage 5. The carriage 5 is released by the bolt 14, then moves against the force of the spring assembly to the mast 1 and is locked. Now he rests on the support 21, which absorbs its weight and relieves the rope arrangement. If the flag 3 is lowered again, the user pulls briefly again on the cable assembly, whereupon the carriage 5 is released and due to the force of the spring assembly 23 moves back to its original position, from where the holding device 6 with the flag 3 can be lowered again.

Zu beachten ist, dass die oben beschriebenen Ausführungsbeispiele nicht die einzigen Möglichkeiten für eine Realisierung der Erfindung sind.It should be noted that the embodiments described above are not the only possibilities for realizing the invention.

Die Federvorrichtung 23 kann beispielsweise auch als Kompressionsfeder ausgeführt sein, z.B. zwischen dem Schlitten 5 und dem Mast 1.The spring device 23 may for example also be designed as a compression spring, e.g. between the carriage 5 and the mast. 1

Der Schlitten 5 kann grundsätzlich auch entfallen und die Haltevorrichtung 6 kann direkt im Ausleger 4 gleiten. Vorzugsweise ist als Lager jedoch der Schlitten 5 vorgesehen.The carriage 5 can basically be omitted and the holding device 6 can slide directly in the boom 4. Preferably, however, the carriage 5 is provided as a bearing.

Während in der vorliegenden Anmeldung bevorzugte Ausführungen der Erfindung beschrieben sind, ist klar darauf hinzuweisen, dass die Erfindung nicht auf diese beschränkt ist und in auch anderer Weise innerhalb des Umfangs der folgenden Ansprüche ausgeführt werden kann.While preferred embodiments of the invention are described in the present application, it is to be understood that the invention is not limited thereto and may be embodied otherwise within the scope of the following claims.
