Definitions

  • the invention relates to a protective element, in particular a fabric protection hose, for sheathing textile lashing or slinging means for lifting, tensioning or lashing of objects, with at least one fabric layer facing the article and a plastic layer between the fabric layer and the article.
  • a protective element in particular a fabric protection hose, for sheathing textile lashing or slinging means for lifting, tensioning or lashing of objects, with at least one fabric layer facing the article and a plastic layer between the fabric layer and the article.
  • Textile lashing or slinging for lifting, clamping or lashing of objects are, for example, ropes, straps or belts, in particular plastic belts, which can be set, for example by means of a ratchet or otherwise under a tensile force. In this way, the respective object is held, lifted or transported.
  • Such slings are used, for example, when lifting or moving loads.
  • lashing equipment is used when it comes to holding goods.
  • a special field of application of lashing is the load securing on and of vehicles.
  • automobiles are held on car transporters, inter alia, on a loading surface, that the relevant stop means guided over individual tires and the tires are clamped or lashed to the loading area.
  • the protective element ensures that damage to the textile lashing or fastening means guided through the protective element in the area of edges is avoided.
  • this is also intended to ensure that the lashing or slinging means guided thereby, and in particular the plastic straps used at this point, slide in a particularly low-friction manner during lashing within the protective element.
  • the prior art according to the EP 1 791 777 B1 Approaches known to weave a textile material in the form of high-strength threads in such a protective element on the surface associated with the lashing or stop means.
  • the high-strength threads are woven on the inside for this purpose in addition to weft threads in the fabric or the fabric layer.
  • an overall generic protective tube for flat, ribbon-like materials and in particular for straps, lifting straps or the like become known.
  • the wall surfaces are each formed from a fabric material.
  • the fabric material is embedded in a polyurethane coating, which is equipped with a surface profiling on the outside.
  • the problem with such polyurethane coatings is that they become brittle, crack, break away from the fabric tube or otherwise impair their function, particularly in harsh conditions and under unfavorable environmental conditions.
  • the invention is based on the technical problem of further developing a protective element of the structure described at the beginning in such a way that the plastic layer can be manufactured easily and realized with permanent functionality in such a protective element.
  • a generic protective element in the invention is characterized in that the plastic layer between the fabric layer and the article composed of woven into the fabric layer elastomer threads, which form on the fabric layer outwardly projecting ribs.
  • the invention accesses a non-continuous plastic layer or coating. Rather, the plastic layer is formed by the woven into the fabric layer elastomeric threads. Since the elastomer threads form on the fabric layer on the outside protruding ribs, ie in the direction of the lashing for example, the elastomeric fibers take over the function of the plastic layer or polyurethane coating as in the generic state of the art according to the DE 295 15 832 U1 ,
  • elastomeric threads in this context has the additional advantage that elastomers used at this point, ie rubber-elastic plastics, typically in connection with, for example, smooth objects made of metal, wood, etc., which are to be lashed, have high coefficients of friction or coefficients of friction put. This is even more the case when, for example, tires of automobiles or lorries are lashed down on a loading surface during transport with the protective element in question.
  • friction values or friction numbers of 0.5 (rubber on steel) to 0.9 and more (rubber on rubber) according to the invention (stiction).
  • the protective tube is properly held and fixed on the object to be lashed.
  • the Protective element or the protective tube guided textile lashing or slings are properly clamped using, for example, a ratchet, because in contrast, significantly lower coefficients of friction are observed in the interior of the protective tube or protective element.
  • a ratchet for here is to be expected at maximum friction rates of 0.3 to 0.4, when the fabric facing the fabric layer is constructed, for example, of plastic threads and this also applies to the herein incorporated plastic belt as part of the stop means.
  • the invention recommends the use of natural rubber and / or synthetic rubber.
  • Polyisoprenes which can be extruded into corresponding elastomeric threads, have proved particularly advantageous here.
  • Polyisoprene can be easily dyed if necessary.
  • thermoplastic elastomers such as ethylene-propylene rubber (EPDM) but also styrene block polymers (SBS) as well as natural rubber (NR) can be used, which of course applies by way of example and is in no way limiting.
  • the protective element For the production of the protective element is typically used not only on a fabric layer. But usually two fabric layers combined to form a tube are realized. The two fabric layers are advantageously coupled to each other like a hose. In addition, a respective piping may be provided at the edge of the two fabric layers. The piping is typically a plastic thread woven into the interlinked fabric layers.
  • the respective fabric layers are usually designed as a plastic fabric layers, because tissue from natural threads for typical applications under harsh environmental conditions are usually not suitable.
  • plastic threads have proven to be particularly favorable as a basis for the realization of the fabric, which are made of polyester, polyamide, polypropylene or other suitable plastic materials. Usually polyester fabrics are used at this point.
  • the elastomeric threads used according to the invention are advantageously designed as warp and / or weft threads woven in addition to the fabric layer facing the article. In most cases, these are warp threads woven into the fabric layer in question, although in principle weft threads are also possible. In addition, it has proven in this context, when the elastomeric threads form in their respective longitudinal extent offset from each other extending ribs.
  • the plastic layer between the fabric layer and the article is defined by ribs which are distributed practically uniformly over the entire fabric layer and project outwards in comparison to the fabric layer.
  • This distributed arrangement is primarily explained by the staggered arrangement of the elastomeric threads.
  • the ribs thus form a knob-like surface from each rubber studs on the thus treated fabric layer, which is why high coefficients of friction and a high slip resistance of the fabric layer is observed in contact with the object.
  • the high coefficients of friction of the plastic layer realized in this way from the additionally woven-in elastomer threads are also comparable to those in the prior art DE 295 15 832 U1 higher Elasticity connected because the elastomeric threads can follow virtually any movement of the tissue.
  • embrittlement are indeed possible, but easily manageable, because this only individual ribs are affected and basically do not change the principle of friction increasing design of the fabric layer. That is, the protective element according to the invention can be used for years, if not decades, and provides on the one hand for the damage protection of the associated textile lashing or sling and on the other hand practically a sliding base for the lashing and slinging when setting the object or during its lifting movement available.
  • the main benefits are the main benefits.
  • the elastomeric filaments are generally equidistant, that is equally spaced from each other, arranged.
  • the invention recommends that the elastomeric threads are additionally woven into the fabric layer at least every tenth warp thread.
  • the elastomeric threads are woven into the fabric layer in addition to at least every eighth, in particular every sixth or even at least every fifth warp thread. That is, every tenth, eighth, sixth or fifth warp thread is equipped with the additionally woven equal elastically stretched thread utilizing single joint stitches.
  • the elastomeric threads can be woven into the fabric layer with comparable dimensional information but also in addition to at least every tenth weft thread, every eighth, every sixth or even every fifth weft thread.
  • woven warp threads that is to say elastomer threads which extend in the longitudinal direction of the protective element and use individual common stitches of the associated warp thread.
  • the procedure is such that the elastomer threads have a weft thread or warp thread corresponding thread thickness, so that the elastomer threads can be easily woven into the fabric with.
  • the fabric layer equipped with the elastomeric threads also has an inner sliding layer facing the abutment means. That is, the tissue layer in question is not only equipped with the object facing outward plastic layer of the elastomeric threads, but also with a sliding layer, which provides inside of the protective element between the fabric layer and the stop means for friction-optimized guidance. For this purpose, the mentioned sliding layer is provided.
  • the sliding layer is advantageously composed of woven fabric threads in the fabric layer, which form on the fabric layers inside additional ribs.
  • the plastic threads in question may be woven into the fabric layer in addition to warp and / or weft threads.
  • Such high-strength and the sliding layer defining threads are known and have a smooth surface.
  • Common product names in practice are "Dyneema” from DSM Dyneema BV in the Netherlands.
  • Other high strength fibers are also usable under the name “Vectran” by Celanese Acetate LLC of the USA.
  • the material and the diameter of the plastic threads used adapted to the diameter of the warp or weft threads of the fabric layer and matched thereto.
  • the sliding layer of the fabric threads woven into the fabric layer also forms on the fabric layer inwardly projecting ribs, these ribs act as if it were sliding points over which the textile lashing and stop means is guided and tensioned inside the protective element.
  • these ribs act as if it were sliding points over which the textile lashing and stop means is guided and tensioned inside the protective element.
  • due to the smooth surface finish of the described high-tensile plastic threads for forming the sliding layer particularly low coefficients of friction between the sliding layer in question and, for example, a plastic belt carried by the protective element are observed. In most cases, friction coefficients are below 0.3 (static friction). In this way, the plastic belt can be particularly simple lash, for example, without the protective element changes its position compared to the object. This is ensured by the outside knobs or ribs, which are formed from the elastomeric threads provided at this point.
  • a protective element is provided, which can be produced in a particularly simple and cost-effective manner. This is ensured by the recourse to each fabric layers. Since polyester fabrics are typically used at this point, the protective element realized in this way is suitable for applications even in harsh environments and is particularly temperature-stable. In addition, such polyester fabrics also tend not to absorb moisture. In conjunction with the woven into the fabric layer elastomeric threads a friction surface is provided, which ensures that the protective element is properly held in contact with the object, even if over the guided through the protective element stop means considerable forces are applied.
  • the main benefits are the main benefits.

  • the plastic belt 1 may be equipped with a worn-in belt rattle or other clamping means, that in this case does not matter in detail.
  • the protective element or the tissue protection tube has at least one fabric layer 3 facing the article 2.
  • two fabric layers 3, 4 are provided.
  • the two fabric layers 3, 4 are peripherally coupled together.

  • the fabric layer 3 Since this is done over the entire length and width of the fabric layer 3, the fabric layer 3 is fully equipped on its outwardly facing surface with the ribs 7, which project uniformly over the entire surface of the fabric layer 3 to the outside. Overall, the plastic layer 6 realized in this way ensures increased friction between the protective element or fabric tube realized in this way and the article 2 to be strapped in, as has already been described in the introduction.
  • the elastomeric threads 6 and the threads of the fabric backing or the fabric layer 3 are equipped with corresponding or matching thread thickness.
  • the elastomeric threads 6 are typically those made of a thermoplastic elastomer. In principle, however, it is also possible to use a natural rubber for the production in addition to a synthetic rubber. Combinations are also conceivable.
