Definitions

• Tensioning element especially tension belts, luggage spider and safety net
• the invention relates to a tensioning element, in particular a tensioning belt, a luggage spider and a safety net according to claim 1.
• tensioning elements Today and for many years there are tensioning elements, luggage spiders, which often consist of an elastic, round or oval textile, rope-like material, with a core of elastic threads, wrapped or braided with colored yarns.
• the requirements for such tensioning elements are specified in the TÜV standard with a breaking strength of 540 N (55 kg) light, 685 N (70 kg) medium, 1225 N (125 kg) heavy, luggage spiders 540 N (55 kg).
• a steel or plastic hook is attached in such a way that the end is folded over and riveted, nailed, sewn or glued and thereby becomes twice as thick so that the hook can no longer slip out of the rope-like, elastic tensioning element.
• Plastic hooks are also partially molded directly onto the cut, elastic, rope-like element. These ends each have an unwieldy thickness, because the turned steel or molded plastic hook end is 2-3 times thicker than the elastic round clamping element. This is usually difficult when bracing the elastic elements for fastening the volume to luggage racks of bicycles, mopeds by hanging the hook, which has a large thickness.
• the customer must also buy the correct length, otherwise he will always have clamping elements that are too long or too short. This is usually associated with difficulties since the joining Good always has another big or another volume ⁇ .
• clamping elements sometimes have to be used because the volume of the goods to be transported is often too large for one or two clamping elements. Then so-called luggage spiders are produced, which are in a plastic ring or in a Hold the plastic part together of several of the elastic clamping elements. Often, however, the disadvantage here is that the volume to be transported is not composed of a uniform body, so that one side of the luggage spider is too long and the other is too short.
• Luggage nets made of knitted, rustled, braided or twisted ropes and cords are also known, but are mostly not elastic and therefore cannot adapt to the volume.
• a tensioning element which has an elastic main body with a plurality of openings between two ends. These openings expand linearly between the two ends so that a second main body can be drawn through the expanded openings.
• this clamping element has two defined ends, each with a hook attached to it, and therefore always has a certain length, the hooks always being fixed at the ends.
• the main body consists of two parallel sides, which only form an opening for a second main body when tension is applied. The second identical main body can only be pulled through the first main body when it is stretched and this first main body only holds the second main body in position when the latter is relaxed.
• a clamping band having 'a plurality of openings, wherein in each of these openings a tongue is mounted so that the clamping strap can be looped back through one of these openings and thereby fixed at a particular location, or is clamped.
• this band has small tongues in the openings, so that these have a clamping effect when the same elements are looped back.
• the band is therefore designed in such a way that it clamps itself in place of a clamping buckle. This means that no hooks or several elements can be combined.
• the tensile force is also limited to the clamping strength of the tongues.
• no hooks can be used for fastening.
• this object is achieved with a tensioning element according to the wording according to claim 1, by proposing an elastic, rope-like tensioning element which is divided into two in a defined grid and is available as roll material.

• FIG. 8 cross section of a clamping element with reinforcement of a steel strand
• a tensioning element has a multiplicity of openings 2 which are arranged in a grid-like manner.
• the grid-like design results in a grid distance d, which is defined from one opening edge to the next.
• the grid distance is generally uniform across the entire clamping element, but this is by no means mandatory. It can be alternating, for example, ie a larger one is followed by a smaller one, or in the extreme case completely be arbitrary. This can be of interest in connection with different openings, as will be described later.
• the openings 2 have side elements 10 and transverse elements 11, the side elements made of an elastic and / or semi-elastic material! and the transverse elements consist of an inelastic and / or semi-elastic material.
• the openings 2 lead to a division of the tensioning element 1 into two. They generally have a uniform dimension, but this is by no means mandatory. Rather, the functionality can be largely increased by different sizes of the openings.
• the openings are provided for receiving fastening elements, in particular hooks, the length of the tensioning element also being optimally determined by the choice of a specific opening.
• the openings are formed in the manufacturing process in that the clamping element 1 is divided into two parts during production. /
• the tensioning element In the plane of the openings, the tensioning element has a width B, which is determined by the specified requirements for strength and by the choice of the materials used. This also applies to the thickness of the clamping element given perpendicular to the width. The width and thickness can happen to have the same dimensions, but they are usually different.
• the tensioning element consists of polyurethane, PVC, synthetic rubber, natural rubber, leather, synthetic leather, nonwovens, bundles of yarns, yarns, synthetic yarns, natural fibers, high-performance fibers, textiles, steel fabrics, stranded wires, knitted steel, steel fibers, aluminum fibers, textile braids, textile fabrics or from one Combination of these materials. Any combination of elastic, semi-elastic or inelastic materials can be processed.
• the tensioning element can be reinforced with steel strands to increase the cut and tear resistance.
• cut-resistant reinforcements serve materials made from aramid, PE, steel, aluminum or high-performance fibers, with excellent protection for securing sharp-edged goods.
• the openings are used to fasten goods to objects that have any hook-like structures. This may be at about a thumb screw of a bicycle wheel of the case by the screw, the clamping element of the wing screw to wing ⁇ is guided over the product to be fastened to the luggage carrier of bicycles and is hooked into the wings of the respective wing screws by means of one of the openings with the desired, freely selectable clamping force.
• Clamping elements of the type described are manufactured endlessly and are generally available as roll material, which is particularly advantageous. The required length can be obtained from case to case by simply cutting off.
• the tensioning element can also have fastening elements such as a hook or a hook-like structure, with which the fastening element is optionally part of the tensioning element.
• the length of the tensioning element can advantageously be selected by attaching at least one hook.
• Fastening elements can, however, also be fixed in place in the tensioning element, e.g. by are injection molded directly onto the clamping element during production.
• FIG. 1B shows a view of a tensioning element according to the invention with a second tensioning element passed through.
• a similar second tensioning element 1 'with openings 2' is looped through the opening 2 of the tensioning element 1.
• the clamping elements 1, 1 ' can be crossed at these points and then remain in the correct position without additional plastic parts or plastic rings, without sliding down on the goods to be transported and in order to hold the goods to be transported.
• a tensioning element 1 with at least one second similar, preferably identical tensioning element 1 ' can be designed as tensioning belts, as a luggage spider, as a luggage net, safety net, restraint net or the like.
• tensioning elements 1, 1 'with the same or different grid lengths by looping through openings 2, 2' of further tensioning elements form a network of any shape with respect to the dimensions, in particular the dimension of the mesh size.
• the tensile strength of the tensioning elements is designed so that the strength at the cross points meets the strength of the TÜV standard not only for the light (540 N), the medium (685 N) but also the heavy (1225 N) tensioning element.
• the tensile strength of the elements can also be designed so that it can serve as a luggage net in cars, trucks, airplanes. It can also serve as a retention network for geological fall protection of stones, rubble, earth and snow.
• loads from 10 daN made of an elastic and / or semi-elastic material and possibly semi-elastic and / or non-elastic material for the transverse elements or a combination of these materials such tensioning elements are preferably used to secure loads.
• Fig. 2 shows a tensioning element as a luggage spider for light loads.
• a box 4 is fastened on a luggage rack 3 of a bicycle by means of a tensioning element, which consists of 3 parts 6, 6 'and 6 ".
• the third part 6" has been looped through the openings 2, 2'.
• the individual parts are formed at their ends with hooks (not shown) and fastened to the luggage rack by means of these. Since the parts 6, 6 '6 "have a predefined grid, the connection of the clamping elements of individual parts does not necessarily have to take place at one point but can be connected by the user at the desired point depending on the volume size. This gives the user enormous flexibility to secure the goods in the right place.
• Fig. 3 shows a first embodiment of a clamping element with two attached hooks.
• Hooks 7, T are attached in the openings 2, 2 ', and can be reinserted into any opening at any time, as a result of which an ideal length of the tensioning element can be achieved depending on the existing grid of the openings.
• the hook is particularly user-friendly because it does not have a 2 to 3-fold thickening, which means that the goods can be easily attached.
• the individual divided clamping elements can already be put together during added and - for the user to a practical luggage spider - provided with hooks at the ends.
• Fig. 4 shows a hook in view and side view.
• the hook can be a stamped part, wound from wire or injection molded from plastic. It is designed so that it can be attached without falling out of the attachment.
• the hook can be hooked on and off with the appropriate tension of the new elastic, divided clamping element. However, it cannot fall out and be lost when it is not under tension.
• Fig. 5 shows a second embodiment of several clamping elements as a luggage net for heavy loads.
