Description

The present invention relates to a hose carrier basket.

Hose carrier baskets are known per se and are used in fire brigades when a distance has to be overcome between a fire and a fire water supply, so that possibly existing retractable hoses on vehicles are not sufficient. In this case, a fire extinguishing water pipe with distributor is laid from the nearest water supply to the vicinity of the fire site. A firefighting team couples his hose in the hose carrier carried along fire extinguisher to this distributor and moves the hose carrier basket leading as far as possible to the source of fire, the hose being pulled out of the hose carrier basket when advancing. As soon as the firefighting team can not advance any further, the carrier of the hose basket loops the remaining hose remaining in the hose basket as a hose reserve. After the hose has been laid out, the firefighting leader can couple the jet pipe and start firing.

It follows from the usual field of application of a hose carrier basket that this is exposed to high mechanical and thermal loads. Furthermore, it is important for the firefighter to rely on the functionality of the fire brigade when carrying the hose carrier basket, since firefighting represents an increased stress factor and a danger to life and limb.

Hose-carrying baskets are generally cuboid and are usually made of metal. They have a hose outlet through which the hose is pulled out when advancing. The side walls exist Usually made of vertically extending metal struts and a side wall is usually on a mounted at its lower end hinge and foldable.

Technical minimum requirements and standardized dimensions of hose carrier baskets are formulated in the standards DIN 14827-1 and DIN 14827-2. A hose carrier for the rapid attack according to these standards is intended to be used as in the fire truck entrained Schnellangriffskasten.

With reference to this standard, the DE 10 2011 053 247 A1 a hose carrier basket, the basket frame emanating from a jet located in the upper part of the hose carrier basket outlet, so that, for example, a hose coupling that connects two hoses entrained in the basket without getting caught in the basket frame, is guided in the direction of the hose outlet. Furthermore, the hose carrier basket consists of two basket elements, wherein the hinged side and the lid form a first basket element and all other sides form a second basket element.

Also with reference to the standard for hose carts discloses DE 203 12 694 U1 a hose carrying basket, which comprises two hose outlets on one end face. Accordingly, it is possible that a firefighter of the firefighting team removes hose from the second hose outlet and prepares to extinguish, while the second fireman still sets the hose reserve from the first hose outlet.

The DE 100 56 684 A1 discloses a hose carrier basket that includes devices such as rollers to reduce physical strain on the wearer.

A hose carrying basket, whose side wall hinges are attached to the upper basket side, so that the side flap can pivot upwards is in the DE 20 2014 002 213 U1 disclosed.

A problem with the previously known from the prior art Schlauchtragekörben is that the hose outlets through which the hose is issued during installation of Löschwasserverteiler to the immediate vicinity of the fire and from the immediate vicinity of the fire to the source of fire, at the top of the hose carrier basket are provided. Furthermore, it has proven to be disadvantageous when used in confined spaces such as corridors or lanes that the openable side wall is hinged over a hinge and thus take the base of the hose carrier basket together with the base of the side wall a large space and beyond in poor visibility, for example in smoky rooms represent a significant risk of tripping.

There is therefore a need in the art to provide a hose carrier that overcomes the above drawbacks.

It is therefore an object of this invention to provide a hose carrier that allows a simplified laying out of the fire hose and a time-saving design of the hose reserve.

This object is solved by the features of patent claim 1. Further advantageous embodiments of the invention are each the subject of the dependent claims. These can be combined in a technologically meaningful way. The description, in particular in conjunction with the drawing, additionally characterizes and specifies the invention.

According to the invention, there is provided a hose-carrying basket for hoses comprising a receiving space for the hose, the receiving space being opposed by a bottom surface, an upper side opposite the underside, a first end side, a second end side opposite the first end side, a rear wall and a rear wall Lid is limited, wherein the receiving space via the lid can be opened, wherein the upper side comprises a recess pointing in the receiving space with a carrying handle, wherein the first end face and the top in the region of their transition comprise a first hose outlet and the second end face a second first hose outlet diagonally opposite hose outlet in the region of the bottom comprises. This may also be understood to mean an arrangement of the second hose outlet which is spaced from the underside and displaced in the direction of the upper side.

Accordingly, the hose carrier has two diagonally opposite in the end faces arranged hose outlets. This is particularly advantageous because through one of the two hose outlets the hose can be pulled from the fire water distributor to the immediate vicinity of the fire and can be designed by the second hose outlet from the immediate vicinity of the fire to the place of the fire. In practice, this results for a two-person extinguishing squad the process that the hose carrier basket is first removed from his storage space in the emergency vehicle. Afterwards, the firefighting man carries the basket to the extinguishing water distributor. There, he pulls one end of his located in the hose carrier basket hose through the second or first hose outlet and connects the hose end by means of a coupling with the distributor. Then the firefighting team advances from the distributor in the direction of the fire, the hose being released from the basket via the hose outlet and thus designed. Arrived at the place of the fire, the firefighters take the still located in the hose basket end of the hose on the not yet used hose outlet from the basket, this draws as far as necessary to the fire and closes the entrained by him jet pipe by means of a coupling on the hose. While the firefighters pulls the hose to the fire, the firefighters man removes the excess hose remnant by opening the lid from the hose carrier basket and exposes this as an attack or Eindringreserve. Subsequently, the firefighters' leader can give the instruction "water march" and the firefighting team fight the fire. Consequently, tasks of the fire brigade leader and tasks of the fire crew man can be performed simultaneously after reaching the fire. It is particularly advantageous for this purpose that the two hose outlets are arranged diagonally.

Ideally, the extinguisher will make the connection to the manifold through the hose end, which can be seen from the second hose outlet. In this connection, the laying out of the hose when advancing from the distributor in the direction of fire is even easier, since by pulling out of the arranged in the bottom of the hose outlet a favorable relative to the handle lever is generated. Overall, the expense of the hose is thus less labor. For the firefighters, however, turns out the extraction of the hose end, to which he connects the jet pipe, from the first in the upper region of the hose carrier basket arranged hose outlet as convenient. Furthermore, results from the hose carrying basket on the ground pressing force, which is exerted by the hose in the region of the second hose outlet, a counterforce to that force which is exerted during withdrawal of the hose through the first hose outlet and in the opposite direction acts. Thus, it follows from the diagonal arrangement of the two hose outlets that the hose carrier is tilt-proof on the ground.

So that the hose can be removed easily and without greater frictional resistance from two sides, ie through the first hose outlet and through the second hose outlet from the hose carrier basket, it is proposed not to insert the hose from one end face to the other in loops in the basket but the loops so that they run from the top to the bottom.

Advantageously, the hose outlets are rounded outwardly relative to their transitions from the receiving space, so that damage to the hose by friction over sharp edges is avoided. In general, edges of the hose carrier basket can be chamfered or rounded so that damage to the hose is avoided and the risk of injury is reduced.

According to one embodiment of the invention, the second tube outlet in the second end side along the second end face is spaced from the underside.

Thus, when filling the hose carrier basket in the variant in which the loops are laid from the top to the bottom, the hose can be inserted such that one end of the hose is applied to the spacing. Thus, the filling is easy and time efficient, because it is avoided that already inserted hose escapes through the second hose outlet again. In addition, the spacing of the second hose outlet from the underside proves to be advantageous when carrying the hose carrier basket, for example between emergency vehicle and distributor, because even then caused by the spacing hose can not accidentally slip out of the hose carrier basket. Furthermore, the spacing proves to be an advantage relative to the above-described depressing force exerted by the hose on the hose carrier basket when it is turned off. This results from the fact that the hose forms an arc around the spacing and thus the mass which acts on the lower edge of the second hose outlet, is increased.

According to a further embodiment, the hose carrier basket is made of plastic.

The use of plastic in contrast to metals represents a significant weight saving and thus facilitates the one hand, the operation of the hose carrier basket and on the other hand, the physical stress on the wearer is reduced. Advantageously, the plastic used is chosen so that it is heat resistant, chemically resistant and mechanically stable

According to a further embodiment of the invention, the cover is removable in the direction of the top. In addition, the lid is guided by guide elements in the first and second end faces and bounded by a stop means on the underside. In addition, the cover in the region of the indentation of the top comprises a peel-off handle. In addition, the cover comprises a handle in the area of its center of area.

Thus, the lid can be completely or partially removed at the top, but not slip down because of the sling and not slip out because of the guide means in the direction of the first or second end face. To pull off the lid can either the peel handle or the handle can be used, but it is also possible by both handles the hose carrier basket gently deposit on its back wall.

The cover, which can be pulled off at the top, proves to be advantageous in cramped spatial conditions, such as in corridors, because it can be placed next to the hose carrier basket or simply placed underneath it, thus taking up little space in the hose carrier basket and lid. Especially in smoky areas, where each item represents a potential trip hazard, this solution is advantageous for opening the receiving space. The design of the guide rails and the lid can ideally be done so that the lid is not tilted in the guide rails. It is also possible to provide the lid on its underside with a locking mechanism, for example, a groove in the stop means and a slightly larger spring on the lid. Advantageously, the handle and peel handle are designed as cutouts incorporated into the lid so that no component protrudes beyond the lid.

According to a further embodiment of the invention, the corners of the lid and the rear wall are rounded and the transitions between the bottom and second end face, second end face and top face and first face and bottom correspond to these rounded portions.

Thus, the hose carrier basket has a substantially rectangular cross-section with rounded corners. On the one hand, this makes it possible to push the hose carrier basket without getting stuck in joints. On the other hand, the risk of injury is reduced if, for example, one encounters the basket in smoky rooms.

According to a further embodiment of the invention, at least one of the receiving space bounding elements underside, top, rear wall, lid, first end face and second end face recesses, wherein the distance between adjacent recesses and the size of the recesses is selected so that the hose within the Hose carrier remains.

This leads to a material saving, which reduces the weight of the hose carrier basket, on the other hand, but this also makes it possible to determine the type and number of located in the hose carrier hoses without having to open the hose carrier basket. The recesses may have one or more geometric patterns such as honeycomb or circles, wherein the geometric shape and the size of the recesses and the distance between the recesses is selected so that the hose, for example, not hooked on its coupling, but not the hose through the Cutouts can slip through. The recesses are particularly advantageous even if the wet hose is put back into the basket after extinguishing the fire, because then water or other extinguishing agents can flow out of the hose carrier basket. It is also possible that various elements delimiting the receiving space have different recesses.

According to a further embodiment of the invention, the underside comprises on its side facing away from the receiving space a skid.

Runners have proved to be the most practical option among various pushing-facilitating means, such as rollers or wheels, for propelling a hose-carrying basket, for example, when crawling through a narrow shaft or pipe. In particular, the Runners be provided so that they form a smooth transition with the above-described rounding at the corners on the front sides facing sides. Furthermore, the runners can be so high that no water reaches to the outer edge of the hose when the hose carrier basket is placed in a puddle, so that the hose, when it was not needed, does not have to be dried consuming, but readily back into the emergency vehicle can be spent. As a rule, the runners will be designed for sliding in the direction of the end faces. But it is also possible to interpret the skids for sliding in the direction of the lid or the rear wall. Runners that are in the form of a spherical section appear to be particularly advantageous because sliding without a preferred direction is thereby possible.

According to a further embodiment of the invention, the indentation with carrying handle is offset from the areal center of the upper side in the direction of the first end side.

This has the advantage that when carrying the hose basket in a staircase, the lower front side, so the lower edge of the first end face in the direction of the indentation is offset, does not strike against the steps of the stairs.

According to a further embodiment of the invention, the hose carrier basket comprises on its first end side below the first hose outlet and / or on its second end side above the second hose outlet means for receiving a lamp.

It has been shown that a lamp, which the fire brigade the way back to the hose carrier basket and thus indirectly in the direction of the output points, creates the feeling of increased security. This is understandable especially in view of the high psychic stress associated with a fire-fighting mission. Particularly advantageous is the lamp assembly in large halls or rooms that offer no point for orientation, in this case, the firefighters sees the light and thus has a fixed point. Furthermore, a parked hose carrier basket can be found by the light even if the hose was not designed, so no guide line offers back to the hose carrier basket.

According to a further embodiment of the invention, the lid comprises in the region of the underside means for receiving tools, in particular of lever and breaking tools.

The firefighting kit requires different tools. Examples of such tools are axes, chisels, glass cutters, gauges or breathing masks for people to be rescued. Through the tool holder, it is possible to transport tools to the site without having to carry them in the hand or another carrying device. Especially the lever and breaking tool, which i.a. Also known as Halligan tool can be transported through the means of recording.

Fig. 1 shows an embodiment of the hose carrier SK according to the invention in a view from the front right. The hose carrier basket SK is bounded on the right by the second front site S2, in which the second tube outlet A2 is located. The limitation to the front forms the peelable lid DE, which includes a Abziehgriff AG. The first end face S1, in which the first hose outlet A1 is located, delimits the hose carrier basket SK on the left, while the underside US and the top side OS delimit the hose carrier basket SK below and above. The boundary behind is formed by the rear wall RW. Consequently, the interior of the hose carrier basket SK, the so-called receiving space AR, is limited to all sides, wherein through the first tube outlet A1 and the second tube outlet A2 openings are formed, which allow an external engagement in the receiving space. The first tube outlet A1 penetrating the first end face S1 is arranged diagonally opposite the second tube outlet A2 penetrating the second end face S2. The second tube outlet A2 is spaced from the underside US ago in the direction of the top OS. In the upper side OS is a recess EB, in which a carrying handle TG is provided. The lid DE follows in its shape this indentation EB and has a partially projecting into the recess Abziehgriff AG, by means of which the lid DE can be deducted in the direction of the top OS. The indentation EB and the carrying handle TG are offset on the upper side OS in the direction of the first end face S1, so that the center of the indentation EB does not lie above the middle of the upper side OS. The corners of the hose carrier basket SK are rounded, with the rear wall RW and the lid DE follow this rounding. The rear wall RW, the cover DE, the first end face S1, the second end face S2, the underside US and the upper side OS are penetrated by honeycomb-shaped recesses AU, wherein the recesses have deviating patterns at the edges of the respective surfaces. In the first end face between these recesses AU a lamp holder LM is shown, to which a lamp can be attached.

Fig. 2 shows the hose carrier basket in a view from the left front, now the view of the first end face S1 and the first tube outlet A1 is free. The first tube outlet A1 is formed in the upper region of the first end face S1 and in the left region of the lid DE. This results in a penetration, which opens the inner receiving space AR to the outside, wherein the first tube outlet A1 extends from the recess EB in the upper side OS along the rounding RU of the cover DE to the first end face S1. Overall, the first hose outlet A1 is arranged in the upper left region of the hose carrier basket SK, while the second hose outlet A2 is arranged in the lower right region. Accordingly, the first hose outlet S1 and the second hose outlet S2 are diagonally opposite each other. The indentation EB and the carrying handle TG in the upper side are eccentrically offset in the direction of the first end face S1. This results in the preferred support direction of the hose carrier basket SK, which should be worn with the first end face S1 ahead. Through the recesses AU is the view into the receiving space AR possible, in which there is no hose in the figure shown. In the first end face S1 is a lamp holder LM, to which a lamp can be attached. About the Abziehgriff AG of the cover DE, the lid DE can be deducted in the direction of the top OS.

This open state of the hose carrier basket, in which the receiving space is freely accessible from the front, is in Fig. 3 shown. Here, the first hose outlet A1 is limited only by the rear wall RW, the first end face S1 and the top side OS. To guide the lid DE are on the forward facing side of the first end face S1 and on the forward facing side of the second end face S2 guide means FM, along which the lid is slidable. To prevent the cover DE from moving beyond the underside of the US, US stop means AM are located on the underside of the underside facing the front. The cover DE has on its downwardly facing outside and on its left and right facing outer sides on a shape corresponding to the stop means AM and the guide means FM. As can be seen on the connectors SV, the hose carrier basket SK is made of individual, connectable by means of connectors, components. The connectors SV are shaped so that the receiving space AR has no sharp edges. As can be seen on the lower side of the second hose outlet A2, the hose outlets are also rounded so that damage to the hoses is avoided.

Such a fire hose is in Fig. 4 shown. In this view from the front, the tube SC is in loops, which run from the upper side OS to the lower side US and back. The hose is here composed of two sub-hoses by means of couplings KU and already up to half its entire length pulled out through the second hose outlet A2. The end of the hose SC, which has already been pulled out, is connected to a fire water distributor VT, while the other end of the hose SC protrudes from the first hose outlet A1. The lid DE has already been removed. Consequently, the hose-carrying basket SK is shown in a situation in which the firefighting squad has already penetrated to the fire, the firefighting leader can connect the projecting from the first hose outlet A1 end by means of the coupling KU with his jet pipe and the firefighting man still in the receiving space AR rest of the hose SC can interpret as Eindringreserve.

Referring to Fig. 4 , the delete troop leader could then remove the still remaining in the hose carrier basket SK remaining hose through the first hose outlet A1, if the lid DE had not been deducted. In particular, it can be seen here that the hose carrier basket SK according to the invention makes it possible to carry out the work of the extinguishing crew at the same time and thus as efficiently as possible in terms of time.

Furthermore, the hose carrier basket SK in the FIGS. 1 to 3 Cover DE shown not include means for receiving tools shown. For example, a lever and breaking tool can be fastened on the hose carrier basket SK for transport, so that the firefighting crew does not have to carry this separately. In addition, the lid in its center of area in the one FIGS. 1 to 3 not shown handle include. This handle can be a penetration of the lid DE and offers in addition to the Abziehgriff AG another way to remove the lid.

The in the FIGS. 1 and 2 shown rear wall RW and the Abziehgriff AG shown can also be designed such that they the indentation EB in the top OS front and back to complete. As a result, the hand with which the wearer of the hose carrier basket SK carries the basket is protected on two sides.

The features indicated above and in the claims, as well as the features which can be seen in the figures, can be implemented advantageously both individually and in various combinations. The invention is not limited to the exemplary embodiments described, but can be modified in many ways within the scope of expert knowledge.
