Definitions
- the invention relates to a winch and a winch crank according to the preambles of the independent claims 1 and 12.
- Sailboats or sailing yachts are equipped with winches, which make it possible to trim the sails and to safely absorb and control the forces in the pods and traps. This is generally done by turning the winches with the help of a winch handle.
- the winches are known to have a base anchored to the boat with an axle (journals) on which a so-called winch drum is rotatably mounted.
- a planetary gear for power reduction Between the winch base and the winch drum is usually a planetary gear for power reduction and a freewheel hub, which blocks the winch in the pulling direction of the sheet or the case.
- winches are a key feature of any sailboat and must function safely and operate in any situation. For operation, in turn, the above winch crank is necessary, without which the winch itself is not operable.
- the winch handle to operate the winches in case of failure of the external drive is advantageous. Without a winch or a winch crank, a sailboat becomes almost unable to maneuver, which can lead to a capsize, breakdown or contact with correspondingly strong, unfavorable wind conditions. Especially when driving at night in the dark, a loss of the winch handle or a failure to locate the winch handle can have fatal consequences. In addition, the raised from the ship's upper deck winches pose a risk of tripping and injury to the boat crew, which is especially in the dark at night driving is not to be underestimated.
- the winch handle is usually changed between the starboard side and port-side winch and also stored to avoid injury and stumbling when not in use in the cockpit. Especially in the dark, it may be due to carelessness that the winch handle goes overboard. This entails the above-described consequences of the inoperability of the winches. To avoid these problems when driving at night or when driving with reduced visibility (fog, storm, rain, etc.), it is important to keep the lighting on deck as low as possible, so that the pupils do not adapt to the brightness and in the dark lake environment can no longer be perceived, because the eyes are blinded.
- Object of the present invention is therefore to propose a new winch and a new winch handle, which allow safe work on the winches with reduced or poor visibility. This object is achieved by the present invention according to the teaching of claim 1 and claim 12.
- Advantageous embodiments of the invention are the subject of the dependent claims.
- a winch at least with a winch base, a winch drum, which comprises a lower winch drum section and a top winch drum section, and a winch head, wherein the winch base is directly or indirectly connected to a boat, and wherein the winch drum rotatable with the winch base is connected, and wherein the winch head is disposed on the winch drum, and wherein the winch has at least one light source.
- the winch drum can be made of, for example, two sections, but can also be made in one piece.
- the winch head is designed in particular for the attachment of a winch crank and is arranged on the winch drum or at least partially arranged in the winch drum from the outside.
- the lighting means is arranged between the boat and the winch base, ie under the winch base, and / or the lighting means is arranged between the winch base and the lower winch drum section, and / or the lighting means is between the lower winch drum section and the upper winch drum section arranged, and / or the lighting means is disposed between the upper winch drum section and the winch head.
- winches have such components and can be supplemented by the bulbs at positions described. Depending on the winch type, individual
- Components of the winch for receiving the bulb to be adjusted. This adaptation can be done for example by milling or incorporation of receiving recesses.
- the lamp is connected to the boat before the installation of the winch base and the winch base is then placed and fastened to the illuminant mounted on the boat.
- This variant can be realized, for example, without constructive modification of an existing winch.
- the illuminant can be retrofitted to the mentioned positions or installed already during production of the sailboat.
- winch bulbs By such arranged at the winch bulbs can be significantly increased safety on board at night driving or deteriorated visibility.
- the winch is generally clearly visible as a source of danger due to the light source.
- the winch between the winch drum and the winch head comprises a fixing device, wherein the lighting means is arranged between the winch drum and the fixing device and / or the light source is arranged between the fixing device and the winch head.
- the fixing device may for example be designed as a self-clamping ring and have the supply and fixation of the case to be used to the task.
- the fixing device is usually mounted between winch drum and winch head - ie between winch drum and approach for a winch crank.
- the winch under the winch base comprises a winch base, wherein the lighting means between the boat and the winch base, that is located under the winch base, and / or the light source between the winch base and the winch base is arranged.
- the luminous means has an active luminous means and a passive luminous means.
- the active luminous means comprises at least one electroluminescent element.
- EL film is suitable for this purpose.
- a particularly uniform luminous active light source can be formed.
- the active illuminant comprises at least one light emitting diode. LEDs require little electrical energy and are easy to install due to their small size.
- Both the electroluminescent element and the light emitting diode may be monochrome in monochrome, but may be multi-colored (e.g., RGB) to freely adjust the illumination color.
- the active light source can be influenced in its luminous intensity.
- the passive illuminant is designed as a translucent, at least partially transparent body.
- the passive lamp is thereby Maschinenstrahlbar and can diffuse the light generated by the active light source and thus produce a particularly favorable, non-glare, indirect lighting.
- the passive lamp is formed of colored plastic.
- Plastic is flexibly variable in terms of its luminous properties, easy to work with and easy to manufacture.
- the active light source is arranged on the passive light source and / or integrated into the plastic ring. As a result of the arrangement of the active illuminant on the passive illuminant, the passive illuminant is illuminated by the active illuminant. Thus, the passive illuminant lights up directly or indirectly, in other words in reflection or transmission.
- the passive light source or the plastic ring ensures diffusion of the light emitted by the active light source. In all variants, a non-glare, indirect lighting can be realized.
- a winch crank is connected to the winch drum, which can be configured according to the following description, wherein the winch crank comprises the lighting means.

- the energy can be supplied via batteries or via supply lines, which are routed via contact connections to the winch in the boat interior to the on-board power supply. This also allows charging the batteries of the bulb.
- the light source is thus releasably connected to the winch crank. This ultimately lights up the winch handle and is better visible in poor visibility.
- the winch handle is mounted on the winch, for example to prevent injuries and tripping.
- the winch handle for the boat crew is also clearly visible. This can be a bumping and thus go overboard the winch handle be prevented.
- the winch handle can also be used as a lamp on the way to the winch on the foredeck.
- the luminous means is aligned such that the light is emitted in the direction opposite to the actuating arm relative to the crank arm.
- a deflection can be provided at the light outlet of the winch crank.
- This deflection device can be fastened, for example, to the light source or to the hollow shaft.
- the deflection can be formed for example by a spherical reflector. This allows alignment of the light cone.
- the lighting means is fixed by means of a clamping element in the cavity of the hollow shaft. This can prevent falling out of the bulb from the hollow shaft of the winch crank.
- the luminous means comprises at least one light-emitting diode.
- Light-emitting diodes are particularly energy-efficient and can be flexibly arranged due to their small size.
- the lighting means is formed by a flashlight.
- a flashlight This allows a multi-functionality of the light source used.
- the flashlight which is carried in many cases anyway, can be dismantled, for example, for a shore leave in the harbor.
- the bulb is easy to disassemble by using a flashlight for maintenance purposes.
