Description

Gripping device of a ship

The invention relates to a gripping device of a ship, in particular a handrail of a ship with the features of the preamble of patent claim 1.

Gripping devices are known in ships in practice in many ways. For example, for safety reasons in sailing yachts or motorboats on deck a handrail is installed, which is firmly bolted to a deck structure and in the longitudinal direction of the ship relative to a vertical Schiffslängsmittelebe- ne on both sides of the tail leads to the bow. Such a handrail allows people to safely move on the respective ship, in particular to prevent falling from the respective ship. The handrail can be made of wood or steel and connected to the ship's superstructure via several fixing feet. Even below deck, yachts or motorboats may require handrails that are bolted or connected to the ceiling or other suitable part of the ship in question, helping to move safely below deck, especially in heavy weather or rough seas.

Especially in the dark is not guaranteed that people can recognize the known handrails in a sufficiently short time and reach. In extreme situations, this can even lead to the loss of life.

The invention has for its object to provide a gripping device of a ship, which can be quickly detected and gripped even in the dark and at the same time provides an attractive appearance. This object is achieved by the gripping device with the features of claim 1. According to the invention, therefore, a gripping device of a ship, in particular a handrail of a ship is proposed which comprises a gripping body, which is provided with at least one mounting foot, which is designed frontally to rest on a base. The gripping body has at least one recess extending in its longitudinal direction, in which at least one illuminating means extending in the longitudinal direction is arranged.

The core of the invention is therefore to provide a gripping device with a gripping body in which a lighting means is integrated. By the light source, which preferably extends over the entire length of the gripping body, it is ensured that with appropriate activation even in the dark, a sufficiently fast gripping of the gripping body is ensured. Even in poor visibility or in the dark so the gripping device can be well recognized. The gripping device according to the invention thus provides a considerably higher safety on a ship.

The gripping device according to the invention may be arranged on the deck or below deck. In particular, the gripping device according to the invention may be a handrail which runs on deck in the longitudinal direction of the ship in question and allows persons to move safely on deck and to secure in extreme cases against falling from the ship. Also, the gripping device according to the invention can be arranged below deck, safety-relevant handrail, which can be illuminated in the dark.

In a preferred embodiment of the gripping device according to the invention, the lighting means comprises a light string. For example, a light string operating on the principle of electroluminescence may comprise a first, central wire presenting a first electrode, which is coated with an electroluminescent paste and encased in a plastic insulation. The plastic insulation is wrapped by a second electrode representing a second wire. Externally, this light string, which may have a diameter of 1 to 8 mm, a PVC plastic sheath on. A light string can also be formed from an electroluminescent luminescent film, which consist of different film layers and can be made to glow by applying an electrical voltage. Lichtschnü- They are flexible and available in many colors. They are active light sources with the properties of indirect light.

In a special embodiment of the gripping device according to the invention, the recess is formed in the form of a groove. The groove may have an at least substantially continuous groove bottom or a

Have groove bottom which is interrupted by at least one recess which passes through the gripping body.

In order to be able to arrange the illuminant precisely in the groove, in particular during assembly, the groove preferably has a width that is greater than a width of the recess.

In order to give the gripping body a smooth and continuous surface, the recess is preferably potted with a transparent plastic or resin.

The gripping body may consist of at least two layers of material, between which the recess is arranged and which are separated from each other via the arranged in the recess bulbs.

In a special embodiment of the gripping device according to the invention, the light string is arranged in a recess of an at least partially transparent plastic layer which is arranged between the material layers. The light generated by the light string then radiates through the transparent plastic layer parallel to its plane.

In an expedient embodiment of the gripping device according to the invention, the plastic layer and the material layers are glued together. The production can in particular be such that a continuous plastic layer is adhered to one of the material layers. Subsequently, the recess for the light string is milled out of the plastic layer. The further material layer is then glued onto the side of the plastic layer facing away from the first material layer. The light string can be removed after bonding the plastic layer and the material layers are threaded into the generated recess via corresponding outlet openings.

The mounting foot of the gripping device according to the invention can either be made in one piece with the gripping body or also constitute a separate component. In the former case, the mounting foot can also comprise the above-described plastic layer, which is arranged between the material layers, and the luminous means. However, if the mounting foot is a separate component, it should be designed so that a supply of the illuminant is ensured therethrough.

For example, it then includes a channel for guiding the light string. Also, a separate mounting foot having a Fixierbuchse, which surrounds the gripping body of the gripping device according to the invention.

In a preferred embodiment, a mounting hole is provided which can pass through the gripping body. The mounting hole may also be formed as a blind hole into which a threaded bushing is inserted, so that the gripping device can be screwed from the contact surface of the mounting foot on the corresponding base.

In particular, in the region of the exit of the light string from the gripping body or from the integrally formed with the gripper attachment foot can be provided a guide bushing for the light string over which the light string can be threaded in the mounted state of the gripping device in its recess.

The material layers of the gripping body of the gripping device according to the invention are in particular made of wood.

The gripping body may consist of a solid wood, plastic or metal profile or consist of a metal or plastic hollow profile. In order to ensure easy replacement of the light source, this can be arranged in a transparent tube, which passes through the gripping body. It is conceivable that the gripping device is illuminated in several rows according to the invention. In the case of a double-row illumination, the gripping device then has, for example, two grooves, in each of which a light line is arranged, or three material layers, in particular made of wood. Between the material layers, a light source in the form of a light string embedded in a transparent plastic layer is then arranged in each case. The planes of the individual layers are then preferably aligned plane-parallel. It is also conceivable that several bulbs are arranged side by side in a groove.

Furthermore, the gripping device according to the invention expediently comprises a power supply for the lighting means, which allows its control, in such a way that the lighting means is turned on, turned off and optionally also dimmable. It is also conceivable that the light source flashes with a frequency that can be set freely or to predetermined values. If several gripping devices according to the invention are installed in the ship in question, they can be controlled differently and also accept or have different colors. Also, several bulbs of a gripping device can shine with different colors or be controlled so that change their colors as needed.

The invention also relates to a ship which is provided with a gripping device of the type described above. Further advantages and advantageous embodiments of the subject matter of the invention are the description, the drawings and the claims removable.

In the figures 1 to 6, a handrail 10 is shown, which is designed for fixing on the deck of a ship. The handrail 10 includes a gripping body 12 which extends parallel to a mounting base 14 and forms the body on which a person located on the ship in question can hold. In one piece, the gripping body 12 is arranged with two at the ends

Fastening feet 16A and 16B and four intermediate mounting feet 18 provided.

The gripping body 12, which may have any cross-section, has two made of wood, mirror-symmetrically arranged to each other material layers 20 A and 20 B, which are separated by a light source 22 from each other. The luminous means 22 is formed of a light string 24 of any color and disposed in a recess 26 formed by a transparent plastic layer 28 disposed between the two layers of wood material 20A and 20B. The recess 26 and the light cord 24 arranged therein extend from the fastening foot 16A via the gripping body 12 to the fastening foot 16B, ie over the entire extension of the handrail 10. The recess 26 is provided on one side resting on the fastening base 14 Outlet opening for the light string 24, which is provided with a bushing or guide bush 30 through which the light string 24 exits the handrail 10. Via the plastic layer 28, the luminous means can radiate downward, ie in the direction of the mounting base 14, and upwards.

As shown in FIG. 5, the bushing 30 passes through a bore 32 of the plate-like attachment base 14, so that the light string 24 can be guided to a power supply representing a control means. For connecting the handrail 10 to the mounting base 14, each mounting foot 16A, 16B, 18 has a blind hole-like bore 34, in which a threaded bushing 36 is arranged. This allows the handrail 10 from below, d. H. are mounted to the mounting base 14 through the plate-like mounting base by means of fixing screws 38. FIGS. 7 to 10 show an alternative embodiment of a handrail 40. The handrail 40 differs from the handrail of Figures 1 to 6 in that it is not only single row, but two rows illuminated. For this purpose, the handrail 40 has a gripping body 12 and fastening feet 16 and 18 integrally formed therewith, which are formed from two laterally arranged wood material layers 20A and 20B and a central wood material layer 42. Between the

Wood material layer 20A and the middle wood material layer 42 on the one hand and the lateral wood material layer 20B and the middle wood material layer 42 on the other hand, a respective bulbs 22 A and 22 B is arranged, each formed of a light string 24 A and 24 B, which in a recess 26 A and 26 B. a transparent plastic layer 28 A and 28 B is embedded. The plastic layer 28 is connected to the lateral wood material layer 20A and the middle wood material layer. alschicht 42 glued. The plastic layer 28B is bonded to the side wood material layer 20B and the middle wood material layer 42.

The recesses 26 A and 26 B for the light cords 24 A and 24 B are, as shown in FIG. 10, in the region of the arranged at the end of the handrail 40 fastening foot 16 each provided with an outlet opening in the region of a passage 30 A and 3 OB is arranged, via which the relevant light string 24 A and 24 B can be passed through a plate-like mounting base 14 through to a controllable power supply.

As can be seen from FIG. 9, the fastening feet 16 and 18 each have a blind-hole-like fixing bore 34 on the underside which engages in the central layer of wood material 42, ie. H. is disposed between the transparent plastic layers 28A and 28B, and in which a threaded bushing 36 is arranged. Thus, the handrail 40 from below, d. H. be fixed by the fixing base 14 by means of fixing screws 38 on the mounting base 14 representing a cabin roof or the like. In FIGS. 11 and 12, a double-row illuminated handrail 50 is shown, which largely corresponds to the handrail according to FIGS. 7 to 10, and differs therefrom only by the manner of attachment to a mounting base 14. In order to fasten the handrail 50, a through hole 52, which crosses through the respective fastening foot 16, 18, is formed in each case in the region of the fastening feet 16, 18, by means of which the handrail 50 can be mounted on the fastening base 14 from above. The through-bore 52, which passes through the middle layer of wood material 42, is provided with a step 54, on which a head 56 of a top-introduced fixing screw 38 can be supported, which is arranged in a on the other side of the plate-like mounting base 14, in particular by a mother 58 formed thread engages.

In order to give the handrail 50 a homogeneous appearance, the through hole 52 is closed at the top of the gripping body 12 and the mounting foot 16, 18 by means of a plug 60, which is preferably formed from the same wood as the middle wood material layer 42. In Fig. 13, another embodiment of a handrail 70 is shown, which can be used for example below deck in a ship. The handrail 70 comprises a single-row illuminated gripping body 12, which has a round or oval cross-section and is formed from two layers of wood material 20A and 20B, between which a lighting means 22 is arranged. According to the embodiments described above, the luminous means 22 is formed by a light string 24, which is arranged in a recess 26 of a transparent plastic layer 28. The transparent plastic layer 28 is bonded to the two wood material layers 20A and 20B. For attachment to a mounting base of the gripping body 12 is encompassed by a receiving ring 72 of a mounting foot 74, the base 76 can be connected to the mounting base.

For connection to a power supply, the light string 24 of the handrail 70 is guided through the recess 26 of the transparent plastic layer 28 and through the fastening foot 74. The mounting foot 74 is provided for this purpose with a corresponding guide channel.

In Figures 15 to 18, a handrail 80 is shown having a gripping body 81 which is made of wood and which integrally has fixing feet 16A and 18. At the top of the gripping body 81, a groove 82 is milled, which extends in the longitudinal direction of the gripping body 81. In the groove 82, a transparent tube 84 is arranged, which exits from the handrail 80 via holes 83 which pass through the mounting foot 16 A and a corresponding fastening foot, not shown here. The holes 83 thus connect the groove 82 with the respective bottom or contact surface of the respective mounting foot. The tube 84 is fixed in the groove 82 by means of a transparent resin 85 filling the groove 82.

The tube 84 is penetrated by a lighting means representing a light string 24 which is inserted after the casting of the groove 82 with the resin 85 in the tube 84 and thus can be changed in a simple manner. In Figures 19 to 24, a handrail 90 is shown, which largely corresponds to that of Figures 15 to 17, but differs from this in that the groove 82 has a groove bottom 91 which is interrupted between the mounting feet 16 A and 18 of recesses 92 is. The recesses have in the transverse direction of the gripping body 81 a width of, for example, 4 mm, whereas the groove 82 and the tube arranged therein each have a width or a diameter of 6 mm. The recesses 92 are also potted with a transparent resin 93. Otherwise, the handrail 90 corresponds to the handrail shown in FIGS. 15 to 18. FIGS. 25 to 27 show cross sections of further embodiments of handrails according to the invention.

According to FIG. 25, a groove 82 is formed on the upper side of a solid gripping body 101, in which five light cords 24 are arranged next to one another. The light cords 24, which are fixed in the groove 82 by means of a resin 85, can shine with the same or different colors.

According to Figure 26, a gripping body 102 is provided, which consists of a hollow profile made of aluminum or plastic and on its upper side has a groove 82 in which a light string 24 is arranged and which in turn is filled with resin 85.

According to FIG. 27, two grooves 82 are formed on the upper side of a solid wood grabbing body 103, in each of which a light string 24 is arranged. The light cords 24 are fixed in the respective groove 82 by means of a resin 85.
