Description

Twist lock arrangement

The invention relates to a twist lock arrangement for releasably adjusting and changing the effective length of at least one tensioning element, according to the preamble of claim 1.

Twist lock assemblies of the type described have become known in connection with twist locks which are used for various sports shoe designs. Such a twist lock is known for example from EP-A-412 290. In this way, the closing flaps of a sports shoe can be pulled together or released by winding a traction rope onto a rope pulley rotatably mounted in a closure housing or unwinding it from there. In order that an associated sports shoe can be adapted to the foot of a user in these known types of use of the twist lock, an exact adjustment of the twist lock is provided in that a releasable lock is provided in the area between a twist grip acting on a twist actuating shaft and the pulley ¬ jack device is available. In addition, a coupling in the transmission connection between the actuating shaft and the rope sheave ensures that the pull rope is released quickly and thus quickly releases the lock. A planetary gear is also preferably arranged in the rotary drive connection between the rotary actuating shaft and the pulley.

The invention has for its object to develop a twist lock arrangement according to the preamble of claim 1 in such a way that with relatively simple and space-saving training particularly favorable conditions are created for using this twist lock arrangement beyond the use on shoes also with a large number of different other articles of daily use.

This object is achieved according to the invention by the features specified in the characterizing part of claim 1 (preferably in combination of these features). Advantageous modifications and refinements of the invention are the subject of the dependent claims.

In this twist lock arrangement according to the invention, the fastener carrier for the twist lock manufactured from a flat, semi-rigid, bendable material is provided with at least one strip-shaped extension which has a longitudinal guide section which is at least designed to guide the associated pull cable. The outer end of the traction cable which can be wound up and unwound is connected to a slide which is movably guided in the adjustment direction of the tensioning element and which is also connected to a free end of the tensioning element. In this way, extremely favorable prerequisites are created so that, in particular, the parts or elements acting between the actual rotary lock and the at least one tensioning element can be designed and manufactured in a relatively simple and space-saving manner, and in this way that the invention The twist lock arrangement as a whole can be used in a very versatile manner in the case of very different articles of daily use, in order to be very sensitive to the lengths or circumferential lengths required for their use or operation in these articles of daily use being able to be changed and releasably set at any time.

In contrast to the known design explained at the outset and its use only with shoes or sports shoes, the twist lock arrangement according to the invention can also be particularly versatile due to its design, for example in outer garments such as B. pants, skirts, jackets, gloves, especially sports gloves, and also at

Additional parts for clothing, such as Belts, headgear, e.g. Caps (in particular baseball caps or the like), riding caps, protective helmets (e.g. bicycle helmets, climbing helmets, work safety helmets or the like), and moreover are also used in a large number of other objects in which parts are to be clamped or locked relative to one another.

The invention is explained in more detail below with the aid of a few exemplary embodiments illustrated in the drawing. Show in this drawing

A first embodiment of the twist lock arrangement according to the invention is illustrated in FIGS. purifies. According to this, the twist lock arrangement, which as a whole can be seen particularly well in FIG. 1, contains, as main parts, a twist lock 1, a lock carrier 2 carrying this twist lock and a tensioning element 3, the effective length of which compared to the twist lock 1 or the lock carrier 2 in can be set and changed releasably.

The twist lock 1 itself can in principle be designed in a manner known per se, especially in a relatively flat construction and in a construction such as B. from the aforementioned EP-A-0 412 290 and there is known in particular from the structural designs according to Figures 4 to 7. Accordingly, this twist lock contains 1 u. a. a breech housing 4, in which a pulley 5, indicated only by dashed lines, is rotatably mounted and can be driven by a rotary handle 6 in such a way that a traction cable 7 or a similar cable-like other traction element is wound onto the pulley 5 and by This sheave 5 can be unwound again, according to the requirements of whether the clamping element 3 should be extended or shortened in its effective length, as is known per se.

The twist lock 1 is preferably designed to be relatively flat and space-saving (see FIG. 2), so that it can be attached to very different objects in an extremely inexpensive manner without hindering the actual use of this object. Generally, at least the housing 4 and the twist grip 6 of this twist lock 1 can be made of any suitable material, but an embodiment made of one sufficiently stable and impact-resistant plastic is preferred.

The rotary closure 1 is received and held by the closure carrier 2. For this purpose, it is generally sufficient if this closure carrier 2 is made of a relatively thin, flat, semi-rigid material which, however, can be bent at least in its longitudinal extent so that it can easily be adapted to any curvatures or other shapes of the object accommodating this rotary closure arrangement. This closure carrier 2 can be produced particularly easily from a suitable plastic, specifically from a sufficiently thick film material or from a sufficiently thin plate material from which the surface shape (see FIG. 1) of this closure carrier 2 is cut out or removed in a simple manner can be punched out.

The closure carrier 2 preferably has a receiving part 2a, which preferably surrounds the peripheral wall 4a of the closure housing 4 approximately in the manner of a flange, and - in accordance with the embodiment shown with solid lines - at least one extension 2b which immediately adjoins the receiving part 2a in one piece. In principle, the closure housing 4 and the closure carrier 2 can be produced as separate parts and firmly connected to one another. On the other hand, there is also generally the possibility of integrally forming this closure housing and the closure carrier, this preferably being done by producing a corresponding plastic part. This closure carrier 2 has a receiving part 2a adapted to the outline of the twist lock 1 or the closure housing 4 and at least the one strip-like extension 2b extending from this receiving part 2a (solid lines in FIG. 1), which in this embodiment also include a longitudinal guide section 8 is provided.

This extension 2b of the closure carrier 2 is associated with a slide 10 which is adjustable in the longitudinal direction (double arrow 9) of this extension and which is in sliding engagement with the longitudinal guide section 8. Furthermore, this slider 10 is connected in a suitable manner on the one hand to the outer end 7a of the traction cable 7 which can be wound and unwound and on the other hand to the free end 3a of the tensioning element 3.

Depending on the desired adaptation and use of this twist lock arrangement, the tensioning element 3 can be designed in a corresponding and adapted manner. For example, it can be produced in the form of a relatively thin, flat tension band or tension belt, which can be bent in its longitudinal direction, but is designed to be relatively rigid in its transverse direction. According to another possibility, this tensioning element 3 can be designed in the form of an overall flexible webbing.

Especially when the tensioning element 3 is produced in the form of a relatively thin, flat tensioning strap or webbing according to the first option, it can be designed in a particularly advantageous manner generally in the form of a relatively thin plastic strip or leather strip . The slide 10 can also be made of any suitable material, with relatively slidable plastic material being particularly preferred for manufacturing and price reasons. This slide 10 can basically be made as a separate part; However, there is also the possibility of forming the slide in one piece with the free end of the tensioning element 3, in particular when this tensioning element is made from a substantially similar plastic strip.

If the slide 10 is produced as a separate part of the rotary closure arrangement, as is assumed in the example according to FIGS. 1 to 3, then it will generally be expedient to connect the tensioning element 3 to the slide 10 approximately flatly, namely to be glued, welded, sewn, riveted or the like.

In this first exemplary embodiment (FIGS. 1 to 3), the longitudinal guide section 8 of the closure carrier extension 2b has an elongated hole 11 which has two longitudinal guide edges 11a and 11b lying parallel to one another. The slide manufactured as a separate part

10 is provided on at least part of its length with a guide part 10a which is approximately H-shaped or double-T-shaped in cross section (cf. FIG. 3) and which is in sliding guide engagement with the elongated hole 11. The longitudinal guide edges 11a, 11b of this elongated hole grip

11 into the mutually opposite recesses of the H-shaped cross section of this slide guide part 10a, as illustrated in FIG. To adjust and change the effective length of the tensioning element 3, ie if it is to be moved together with the slider 10 in the direction of adjustment of the double arrow 9 (FIG. 1), the rope pulley 5 is rotated in the direction of the double arrow 12 by the rotary handle 6. The slider 10 can then be moved over the entire length of the elongated hole 11 by winding or unwinding the pull cable 7, the two ends of this elongated hole 11 forming the limit stops for the adjustment path of the slider 10 in one direction or the other .

In the case of the second exemplary embodiment of the twist lock arrangement illustrated with reference to FIGS. 4 and 5, the difference to the first example (FIGS. 1 to 3) consists primarily in the design of the slide and the longitudinal guide section on the lock carrier extension. For this reason, all parts or elements which are approximately similar to the first exemplary embodiment are drawn with the same reference numerals with the addition of a line, so that a detailed description for these parts or elements is largely unnecessary.

In this case (FIGS. 4 and 5), the longitudinal guide section 8 'of the closure carrier extension 2b' has two outer longitudinal guide edges 13, 14 which run parallel to one another and end stops 15, 16 provided at the two ends of these longitudinal guide edges 13, 14 , which limit the setting length of the tensioning element 3 '. As can be seen from the illustration in FIG. 4, the longitudinal guide section 8 'of this example can easily be moved by two approximately parallel on the outer edges of the closure carrier extension 2b'. recesses or notches can be formed, which are determined on the one hand by the longitudinal guide edge 13 with the associated end stops 15, 16 and on the other hand by the longitudinal guide edge 14 with the associated end stops 15, 16.

The slide 17 which can be moved in the adjustment direction (double arrow 9 ') also has a guide part over at least part of its length, which in this case, however, as shown in FIG. 5, has the cross section of a U with inwardly bent leg ends 17a . With this guide part, the slider 17 engages around the longitudinal guide section 8 'of the extension 2b' while producing a sliding guide engagement.

In this case too, the slider 17 is connected on the one hand to the outer end 7a 'of the traction cable 7' and on the other hand to the free end 3a 'of the band-like or belt-like tensioning element 3'.

In particular in the case of less heavily used designs and uses of the twist lock arrangement, according to the further exemplary embodiment illustrated in FIG. 6, the slider 18 can also be designed particularly simply in the form of an essentially flat plate or a flat disk which is attached to along an outer surface of the substantially undeformed closure carrier extension 2b ", this outer side then forming a side guide surface and thus in this case the associated longitudinal guide section 8". It will furthermore be expedient to use an external auxiliary guide which pushes the slide 18 against the mentioned lateral guide surface or the longitudinal guide section 8 "of the closing carrier extension 2b "holds in sliding engagement. Such an external auxiliary guide could be formed, for example, by a simple strip of material which is present anyway on the object in which the twist lock arrangement is to be used. According to the example in FIG .6 it is assumed that this outer auxiliary guide is formed by a tubular receiving part 19, in which, in addition to the slide 18, at least the closure carrier extension 2b "is then also suitably accommodated.

If one looks again at the first exemplary embodiment of the twist lock arrangement described above, in particular in FIG. 1, there is a multiple meaningful modification of this twist lock arrangement indicated by dash-dotted lines. Thereafter, the closure carrier 2 can, if necessary, also be designed with a second extension 2 ^. The two extensions 2b and 2b ₁ are largely identical, but are mirror images of one another, and are arranged on approximately opposite sides of the peripheral wall 4a of the closure housing 4, preferably in a straight-line extension. In this case, each extension 2b, 2 dann> ^ - has a longitudinal guide section 8, and each of these two longitudinal guide sections 8 is provided for longitudinal guidance of at least the associated Zugsei¬ les 7, these Zugseile according to Fig.l are reliably guided via the associated slide 10.

The just described modification of the exemplary embodiment of FIG. 1 is particularly suitable for those applications in which the adjustment path limited by the length of the elongated hole 11 is not considered to be sufficient or in which it is desirable is to provide a longer adjustment path. By designing and arranging the second closure carrier extension 2b ₁ , ie by using two closure carrier extensions, a double-length adjustment path can be created for setting and changing the effective length of the corresponding tensioning element or the corresponding tensioning elements.

It goes without saying that, in the other embodiments of the closure carrier extension, an extension on both sides, i.e. two extensions on the closure carrier are possible.

On the basis of the greatly simplified representations in FIGS. 7 and 8 (based on the first exemplary embodiment according to FIGS. 1 to 3), it should be explained that, if necessary, the possibility can also be created that the slide 10 and the associated end 3a of a Clamping element 3 can be completely detachable or separable. Accordingly, the rotary fastener 1, the fastener carrier 2 with its extension 2b and largely also the slide 10 and the tensioning element 3 can be designed approximately in the same way as has been explained previously with the aid of the various examples, single in FIGS. 7 and 8 ¬ Lich, for the sake of simplicity, an embodiment according to FIGS. 1 to 3 is selected. As can be seen in this simplified illustration, a hook part 23 is formed or separately attached to the free end 3a of the tensioning element 3, which engages in a slot, eye or pocket-shaped receiving part 10b of the slide 10. Instead of this separable hook connection, other suitable separable connection possibilities are of course also conceivable, such as, for example, a push-button connection, a Velcro fastener, a simple button-buttonhole connection or the like. In any case, however, this can be done in an extremely advantageous manner be created to create a sensible separability between otherwise interacting parts of the twist lock arrangement, as can be useful in practice, for example, when used on a belt for a garment, on a pure tension lock, for example for a container lock or the like .

As has already been mentioned above, the twist lock arrangement according to the invention can be used extremely versatile. In addition to the already known use for various shoes, this twist lock arrangement is suitable for a number of other objects due to its simple, cost-saving, space-saving or space-saving adaptation, in which a detachable adjustment and change of the effective length is at least possible a tensioning element or strap is required. For this purpose, some particularly advantageous possible uses are explained below with the aid of the other drawing figures, without the scope of this rotary lock arrangement being restricted thereby.

FIG. 9 shows an application example of the twist lock arrangement according to the invention for headgear, ie this twist lock arrangement is adapted and attached to a cap 20 in the illustration in FIG. 9, which is, for example, a so-called baseball cap or can also be a riding cap. In this application example, it is assumed for the sake of simplicity that the twist lock arrangement used there according to the first exemplary embodiment (FIGS. 1 to 3) is designed with only one lock carrier extension 2b and thus the actual twist lock 1, the lock carrier 2 with it attached slide 10 and band-shaped clamping element 3 contains. The fastener carrier 2 is adapted to the circumference or the curvature of the lower cap edge, the fastener carrier extension 2b and the tensioning element 3 being aligned in the circumferential direction directly on the inner lower cap edge and fastened in a suitable manner. The slider 10 can then be displaced in the direction of the double arrow 9 and thus in the circumferential direction of the cap edge by a corresponding rotary adjustment of the rotary closure 1, as a result of which the effective length of the tensioning element 3 is set or changed in the desired manner and thereby the circumferential width of the cap 20 can be adapted to the respective user.

In this application of the rotary fastener arrangement, at least the fastener carrier extension 2b and at least one longitudinal section of the tensioning element 3 designed as a tensioning strap can be covered by a head strap (hat strap or sweatband) provided anyway on the inner lower edge of the cap 20 or - if the latter is in Tube shape is designed - be included in it. Furthermore, the receiving part 2a of the fastener carrier 2 with the twist lock 1 - corresponding to FIG. 9 - can be arranged in a side wall of the headgear or cap 20 in such a way that the twist grip 6 of the twist lock 1 is freely accessible from the outside - is accessible, so that the rotary handle 6 is arranged, for example, to the side next to or behind the bonnet 20a and is therefore particularly easy to reach by hand.

In a manner similar to that described above with reference to FIG. 9, the twist lock arrangement according to the invention can also be used particularly well in protective helmets, such as, for example, B. in bicycle helmets, ice hockey helmets, climbing helmets, work safety helmets and the like. More. Especially in these applications of protective helmets it happens very often that a helmet is worn by different people and therefore usually has to be readjusted to a different head size so that a perfect wearing and protective function can be guaranteed.

10 shows an embodiment of a headgear designed as a protective helmet 21 from the underside. In this case too, for the sake of simplicity, it is again assumed that the twist lock arrangement is designed according to the example of FIGS. 1 to 3 and accordingly the actual twist lock 1 with twist grip 6, the pull rope 7, the lock final carrier 2 and a band-like tensioning element 3 contains essential parts. At the lower inner circumferential edge of the protective helmet 21, a type of headgear 21a is provided in the usual way - similar to the embodiment in FIG. 9 - in such a way that it is reduced in its circumferential length and thus in its head width with the help of the twist lock arrangement can be enlarged. For this purpose, the free end 3a of the tensioning element 3 is connected to the slide 10, while the other end 3b of the tensioning element 3 is connected to a free one End of the headband 21a is attached. The opposite end section of the headband 21a can then - as described with reference to FIG. 9 - cover at least the closure carrier extension, the slide 10 and the free end 3a of the tensioning element 3, while the rotary closure 1 with the closure carrier 2 in turn in a side wall of the protective helmet 21 is so fastened that the rotary handle 6 of this rotary closure 1 is freely accessible from the outside and thus the protective helmet 21 can be loosened or tightened more quickly and easily in its seat on the head of a user while it is being worn can be. The internal connection between the headband 21a and the inside of the protective helmet 21 can be made with the aid of a cruciate ligament 21b provided within the helmet arch or the like using a plurality of fastening points 21c, as is known per se. This cruciate ligament 21b can essentially be combined with the headband 21a to form a unit and be mounted in this unit in the helmet.

As can be seen in the bottom view according to FIG. 10 and in the side view according to FIG. 11 of the helmet 21, the headband 21a will expediently be adjustable in length in the back of its head section 21a 'to match the head width required in each case. According to the representation in FIG. 11, this protective helmet 21 can also be modified in such a way that the back of the head portion 21a 'of the headband can be pivoted downward - according to arrow 21a "- to the extent that the head of a helmet user can be encompassed by the occipital section 21a 'of the headband 21a approximately in the transition region of the occiput to the neck, if the user puts on the protective helmet 21 in this way has set the head, then by turning the rotary handle 6 accordingly, he can tighten or tighten the headband 21a very delicately and precisely on the head, the back section 21a 'of the headband 21a pivoted downwards ensuring that the headband 21a Helmet is held sufficiently firmly and securely on the head of the user. A chin strap previously known to be absolutely necessary in known protective helmet designs can in many cases even be omitted in this case by this modification of the headgear according to the invention in connection with the twist lock arrangement, which further increases the wearing comfort of such a protective helmet.

As has already been briefly mentioned above, the twist lock arrangement according to the invention can, however, also be used for items of clothing, preferably items of outer clothing and their additional parts — with a corresponding adaptation of their design. Such an exemplary embodiment is explained below using the highly schematic illustration in FIG.

In the embodiment according to FIG. 12, it is assumed that the twist lock arrangement is used in a trouser or skirt waistband, in particular in shorts or sports skirts and sports trousers. Of this, for the sake of simplicity, only the associated skirt or trouser waistband can be seen in FIG. 12 in the form of a lace waistband 24, which is only indicated by dot-and-dash lines. It is assumed that this lacing 24 is approximately tubular, as is generally known. Instead of a customary elastic band or a custom cord, there are two sufficiently wide ones in this drawstring 24, each of which extends over a part of the drawstring circumference Fabric tapes 25, 26 are drawn in, the first ends 25a, 26a of which lie opposite one another at a sufficient distance and are firmly connected to the lacing. The respectively opposite second ends 25b and 26b of these two strips of fabric 25, 26 are in this case firmly connected to a slider 10, with each slider 10 also having an outer end 27a of an associated traction cable 27, which in turn is used for The twist lock 1 "'of the twist lock arrangement used here, ie in this embodiment of the twist lock arrangement, the twist lock 1"' is provided with two pull cables 27 which act in opposite directions. This embodiment of the twist lock arrangement accordingly has a lock carrier 2 "', two extensions 2"' b and 2 "'b ₁ arranged in mirror image to one another on diametrically opposite sides of the lock housing 4, each with suitable longitudinal guide sections (at 8 "'indicated by dashed lines) can be provided for the associated traction cable 27. In this case, the fabric strips 25, 26 made of any suitable material (eg cotton, plastic or the like) form the tensioning elements, which in their effective length are lengthened or shortened to a relatively large extent due to the two pull cables 27 provided here can be. In practical application, this means that a waistband 24 equipped in the manner described above (FIG. 12) with the twist lock arrangement according to the invention can be adjusted very quickly and yet very sensitively in its waist width by corresponding adjustment of the twist lock 1 ″ can.
