107902 LOAD COVER Technology background

The present invention relates to a slag cover, which is used to cover and bind packages of goods during transportation and storage.

In storage and transport, loads are often first covered with separate covers, after which they are secured by suitable means such as webs or the like. The straps are tightened to a sufficient tightness to hold the load and blankets in place. Tying and securing the load is laborious when using conventional 10 tying devices because they are generally muscular-powered. The forces resulting from the lashing, transporting and handling of the load exert a load on the lashing devices, thereby easily stretching and other deformation. On long hauls, stretching of ropes and belts can cause hazards due to loosening of the load securing device. Excessive tensioning of the webs will also cause easy damage to the goods being carried and to the blankets or the lashing devices themselves, particularly at the corners of the load.

Blankets with air cushions which seal or protect the air are also known. : load from shocks. For example, US 4,013,018 discloses a cushion cover over a train wagon with air cushions.

DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION A slag cover according to claim 1 has now been invented. Some of the invention • · ·. *. * Preferred applications are disclosed in other claims.

The invention solves the above-mentioned problems and eliminates the deficiencies of the prior art *: · *: providing a slag cover that can be controlled by a tightening force and · *** · 25 which also protects the load for better. Also for the blanket and binders • · · *. damage is reduced.

The invention is based on the placement of pads to be filled with a suitable medium between the bonding load and the cover, in particular at corner points. The load is secured to its base by moving the binders around the load, after which the pads are filled with medium.

* "30 The cushions expand and adapt to shape while tightening the lashing members to the desired tightness. , whereby the lashing means can be detached around the load.

Preferably, the medium is a gas, such as air, which is supplied to the pads by means of pumps and hoses. The hoses may have valves that are closed after filling the cushions so that no pumps are needed after filling. The cover may also have integral means for introducing the medium into the pads.

Advantageously, the cushions can be securely fastened to the cover so that their position can always be adapted to the size and shape of the load to be covered.

In the following, the invention will be explained in detail with reference to some preferred embodiments and with reference to the accompanying drawings.

Figure 1 is a sectional view of a load cover according to the invention viewed obliquely from the end.

Figure 2 shows the load bound with the load cover of Figure 1 viewed obliquely from the end.

Figures 1-2 show a rectangular load cover 1 with a double inside. 2. The pillows are provided with valves 3 extending through the cover • * '·' through which air can be introduced into the pillows by suitable means. Similarly, the filled cushion may be vented through the valve if desired. The blanket also has transverse reinforcing strips 4, with binding loops 5 attached to the side edge of the blanket '', '· *. The blanket is of sufficient strength and weatherproof material, depending on the application. The pillows are: *: '; for example, polyester reinforced P VC fabric.

The cover 1 is intended as a fastening cover for a rectangular load 7 which is tightened on its long sides by ropes 6 to the load base 8. The pads 2 are positioned '...: longitudinally at the upper edges of the load.

• · ·

Pillows can also be placed at the end edges or corners if desired.

• · • · • · ·

Briefly, the operation of the load cover is as follows. The load cover 1 is placed on the load · · ... ... on the base 8 and secured by means of ropes 6 to the base 8. The air ** ·· * 30 pads 2 are positioned on the side upper edges of the load. The ropes are pre-tensioned to a suitable tight six. Air is then introduced into the pads, whereupon pressure begins to rise. The pads expand and exert an additional clamping force on the ropes, which is 3 107902 shore-based against the pressure in the pads. Correspondingly, the pressure of the pads depends on the magnitude of the force. When a sufficiently high pressure is applied or a suitable constant pressure is maintained, the load securing is made flexible and loose, since deformation in the cushions and ropes can thus be compensated. The shell fastener can be easily disassembled by relieving the pressure from the pads and removing the ropes, after which the cover can be removed.

According to one embodiment, the cushions are also connected to the pumping system during transport, whereby the tensioning can be corrected according to the bend and thereby take into account, for example, changes caused by the movement of the load or leakage of the cushions.

The pads 2 may be removably attached to the cover 1. The removable attachment can be made, for example, with adhesive or fabric stickers. In this case, the pads may have stickers that attach to any part of the blanket. However, it is better to have the counterparts at the desired points in the blanket. The advantage of the removable fastening is, of course, that by changing the position of the pillows the same cover is suitable for covering loads of different shapes.

The pads 2 may also be permanently attached to the cover 1. Permanent attachment can be accomplished, for example, by sewing or gluing. The advantage of permanent attachment is reliability even in difficult conditions such as humidity or frost.
