Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION Industrial Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a fastener for fixing an article such as a loaded container to a hull of a ship or the like.

Generally, when a container is loaded on a ship or the like, it is necessary to fix the container to the hull so that the container does not move or the load collapses due to the hull shaking.

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, a wire rope has been generally used as this type of tightening tool. This wire rope was cut into a predetermined length according to the size of the article, and the wire rope was hung around the article and fastened at both ends with turn buckles.

Problems to be solved by the invention However, in this method, since the wire rope is used for tightening the container, it is not easy to handle and the wire rope is cut to a predetermined length according to the size of the container. It took a lot of time to install it and to attach both ends to the turnbuckle.

Moreover, once used, the wire rope can no longer be used once the size of the container changes, and it is usually disposable.

Further, in wooden and plastic containers, the contact portion of the wire rope is easily damaged, and the damage often spreads due to shaking and vibration of the hull.

Various fasteners have been proposed for tightening the belt by operating the lever (for example, Japanese Utility Model Laid-Open No. 62-37647). It was fixed, and the belt had to be changed according to the size of the container, and the work was extremely complicated. It is also possible to attach a sufficiently long belt to this type and adjust the tightening position depending on the size of the container to accommodate the size of the container, but to adjust the length, use a long belt. Since it has to be slid over a range, workability is poor, and when the container is tightened, the excess belt protrudes in a free state, which interferes with the work.

The present invention has been made in view of the above circumstances, is easy to handle and work, does not damage the container, and can be repeatedly used by changing the combination regardless of the size of the container. The purpose of the present invention is to provide a tightening tool that can be used.

In the present invention, therefore, the first hook is attached to one end of the string-like object, and the fastener having the second hook is attached to the other end so that the position can be adjusted. And a at least one connecting body formed by forming a loop at one end and attaching a hook at the other end.

The drawings show the tightening tool of the present invention, in which 1 is a main body and 2 is a connecting body.

The main body 1 has a first hook 4 attached to one end of a belt 3 as a string, and the other end of the belt 3 has
Fasteners 5 are attached. The fastener 5 is formed by rotatably supporting a main body 6, a hook mounting member 7 and a lever 8, and a second hook 9 is mounted on the hook mounting member 7.

By rotating the lever 8 toward the second hook 9 as shown by the chain line in FIG. 2, the tightening of the belt 3 is released, and the belt 3 can be slid to change its length. In addition, the belt 3 is tightened and fixed by rotating the lever 8 in the opposite direction.
Since various types of fasteners of this kind have been proposed, an appropriate fastener can be selected and used from them.

It is preferable that the belt 3 of the main body 1 can be adjusted over a range slightly longer than the length of the connecting tool 2. For example, if the connecting tool 2 is 2.5 m, the main body 1
The length of the belt 3 is preferably about 3 m. With this, by connecting the main body 1 and an appropriate number of connecting tools 2, the overall length of the tightening tool can be set to an arbitrary length, and can be applied to containers of any size.

As shown in FIG. 3, the connecting body 2 is a belt as a string-like object.
A loop 11 is formed at one end of the belt 10, and a hook 12 is attached to the other end of the belt 10. Further, as shown in the drawing, it is preferable to fit a flexible tubular woven cloth 13 or the like to the intermediate portion of the belt 10.

Thus, the tightening tool of the present invention comprises the main body 1 and at least one or more connecting bodies 2.

Operation When using the tightening tool of the present invention, first, the main body 1 and an appropriate number of connecting bodies 2 are connected according to the size of the container or the like to be tightened. The connecting body 2 is connected to the main body 1 by locking the first hook 4 or the second hook 9 of the main body 1 to the loop 11, and the hook 12 of the connecting body 2 is connected to the loop 11 of the other connecting body 2. By locking to the connecting body 2
By connecting them together, the overall length of the tightening tool can be further increased.

After connecting an appropriate number of connecting bodies 2 to the main body 1 to make it an appropriate length, wrap this around the container and hook it at both ends.
4, 9 and 12 are locked to each other, or hooks 4, 9 and 12 at both ends are locked to a fixed object of the hull. Then, the lever 8 is rotated to release the tightening of the fastener 5, and the end of the belt 3 is pulled to stretch the belt 3. After that, the lever 8 is rotated in the opposite direction to tighten the belt 3 and fix the belt 3.

As a result, the belt 3 of the main body 1 and the belt 10 of the connecting body 2 connected to the main body 1 are in a tightly tensioned state, and the entire tightening tool tightens the container and prevents the container from moving or collapsing. To do.

Effect of the Invention According to the present invention, since the main body 1 and the appropriate number of connecting bodies 2 are separated from each other, an appropriate number of connecting bodies 2 are connected to the main body 1 depending on the size of the container and the loading state. By doing so, the tightening tool having an appropriate length can be easily obtained.
Therefore, even when tightening different containers, it can be easily applied by simply changing the number of connected bodies 2, and it is economical because it is not disposable, and the wire rope is cut or the turnbuckle is tightened each time tightening. There is no need to attach or attach, and workability is extremely good.

Further, according to the present invention, since the size of the container can be dealt with by attaching and detaching the connecting body 2, the main body 1 has a belt of a length necessary for tightening the entire tightening tool hung on the container. It is sufficient to attach only the belt, and the tightening operation of the belt in the main body 1 is performed only in that range. Therefore, it is not necessary to slide the belt over a long range according to the size of the container, and the tightening work is performed. In addition, the length of the free belt extending from the main body 1 when the article is tightened is short, and does not hinder the work.

Further, since both the main body 1 and the connecting body 2 use a flexible string-like material, even if a wooden or plastic container is tightened, it is effectively and safely tightened without damaging them. be able to. In the above description, a belt is shown as this string-shaped object, but other ropes, braids, etc. can also be used. Further, as shown in FIG. 3, by fitting a flexible sleeve such as a tubular woven cloth 13 on the surface of the string-like object, damage to the container and the string-like object can be prevented more effectively.

The tightening tool of the present invention is not only used for tightening the container as described above, but can be applied to various other articles.
