The invention further comprises safety closure means which surround the sling or cable and maintain same inside the working area, such as, for example, chains which are fixed to the projecting side elements and which are equipped with the respective connectable parts of a closure means at the ends thereof.

Description

 Magnetic metal corner. Description Object of the invention

The present invention refers, as expressed in the statement of the present specification, to a magnetized metal corner that contributes to the function to which a series of advantages and characteristics are destined, apart from others inherent to its organization and constitution, which they will describe in detail later, and that they represent an alternative and / or improvement to what is already known in this field.

More specifically, the object of the invention consists of a cantonera essentially intended for the protection of cables and slings dedicated to the ripping and clamping of metal parts whose sides have edges with 90 ° angles, with the added advantage of holding itself by means of It gives attraction to the magnets it incorporates.

This invention has its field of application within the industry dedicated to the manufacture of parts, elements and / or tools for works and constructions.

It is known the wear that occurs in maromas, slings and cables during the operations of stripping and clamping of heavy parts, precisely due to the friction and weight of them, especially in the case of pieces with 90 ° edges.

To avoid such wear, protection elements of different kinds are usually placed between the part and the sling or cable, which due to its provisional or improvised nature and due to its configuration in many cases not very suitable, present a series of drawbacks.

Among the disadvantages of these elements, the fact that if they are not well secured, they run the risk of falling into vacuum as soon as two cables or slings are loosened, with the consequent risk of causing accidents. For this reason, a certain time and personnel must be invested in each scuffing operation in the proper placement and restraint of them, as well as for their withdrawal once the work is finished.

It is worth mentioning that the petitioner is unaware of the existence of a magnetized metal cantonera that has technical, structural and constitutive characteristics similar to those proposed by Oa this invention, which aims to solve the aforementioned drawbacks presented by the systems currently known for the same end. Explanation of the invention.

The magnetized metal corner that the invention proposes, constitutes by itself an obvious novelty within the field of application of the same, since from its application, a protection system for cables, maromas and slings is achieved in a restrictive way, during the operations of stripping and clamping of heavy metal parts with 90 ° edges, fast in placement and safe in use.

The main innovation of the system that the invention advocates consists in the incorporation of magnets that eliminate the work of holding the corner by operators, and avoiding any possibility of precipitating in a vacuum once the piece has been lifted and the strobes or slings loosened, being subject to the piece by means of the attraction of the magnets.

The metal corner of the invention, advantageously also has high side sides and a safety lock that maintain the sling or strobe within the work area of the corner, said closure serving at the same time to avoid the risk that the corner could precipitate in case of being accidentally picked up, since it would be hung inside the closure attached to the cable or sling.

Specifically, the corner described is a metal body approximately cylindrical since it lacks a quarter of circumference in e! revolution cylinder that would form, giving rise to an angular zone, in which rubber magnets are located, and this being the area applicable to the 90 ° edge of the piece to be moved.

Said body has both sides of two sides that protrude perimetrically fulfilling the function of stop to the displacement of the cable or the sling and support for the safety closure, in addition to serving as a stand for the corner.

Finally, it should be noted that said closure consists of a chain that by means of a pin, without this entailing a limitation since it can incorporate any type of conventional closure, joins both sides to prevent the sling or strobe from leaving the area of work of the cantonera, and at the same time that it precipitates in a vacuum if the action of the magnets is accidentally released.

In this way, for its application, the corner, or corners, given that one will be used for each strobe or sling, will be placed by matching the angular part of it with the angular part of the piece to be shattered, and should remain It is perfectly seated against the piece and to which it will be held by the action of the magnets.

Once said maneuver is carried out, the sling or strobe is introduced into the work area of the corner, delimited by its protruding sides, subsequently closing the safety lock, so that the sling or cable is surrounded by the same, leaving the corner ready to do the job.

After carrying out the work, the corners are removed once the cable or sling has been loosened, always before the cable or sling has been unhooked, thus preventing it from precipitating under vacuum as it would hang on the cable or sling for the security lock.

The new magnetized metal cantonera represents, therefore, an innovative structure with structural and constitutive characteristics unknown until now for this purpose, reasons that together with its usefulness In practice, they provide sufficient grounds to obtain the privilege of exclusivity that is requested.

To complement the description that is being made and in order to help a better understanding of the characteristics of the invention, this descriptive report is accompanied, as an integral part of it, of a set of drawings, in Sos that with character Illustrative and not limiting, the following has been represented:

Figure number 1.- Shows a perspective view of the magnetized metal corner according to the invention in which its general configuration is appreciated, the arrangement of the safety lock and particularly the angular area that incorporates the rubber magnets.
