Definitions
- the invention relates to a pontoon coupling for connecting a plurality of individual pontoons with vertical guides arranged on the pontoon side walls, into which a profile-like coupling carrier provided with stops can be inserted.
- the pontoon side walls have recesses and coupling rods which can be inserted vertically and have an approximately double-T-shaped cross section. So that forces can also be transmitted in the vertical direction, at least some of the recesses and the coupling rods should be arranged at a different inclination to the vertical than the other recesses and coupling rods.
- this solution requires a large number of connecting elements; (10 bars are shown) where it is not clear how many bars are inserted vertically and how many are inclined.
- the invention is therefore based on the object to remedy the shortcomings and to create a pontoon coupling which allows the connection of several preferably three adjacent pontoons, and thereby the pontoons in their entirety as the only vehicle can react even with uneven loading, whereby deformation of the side walls is excluded.
- the object is achieved according to the invention in that a plate protruding into the cover plate and protruding from the side wall is provided as the upper limit for the stopper.
- An advantageous further embodiment of the invention is that in the pontoon base plate a stop plate opposite the stop plate - but closed stop plate for the coupling carrier is inserted.
- the figure shows a perspective view of the upper area of a pontoon coupling, in which the edge between the top of the deck and the almost vertical side wall is represented by a broken line (11).
- the stop plate (1) is countersunk in the top of the deck so that no unnecessary projections on the deck constrict the loading area.
- the stop plate protrudes beyond the side edge so far that the stopper (2) has a sufficiently large contact surface to prevent the coupling carrier (8) from slipping out.
- the cutout provided in the stop plate (1) is dimensioned in such a way that the coupling carrier (8) can be pulled out or inserted easily, even in light sea conditions.
- the upper stop plate is equipped with permanent magnets or electromagnets, which are dimensioned in such a way that they cannot fall out automatically. deliberate disassembly or assembly is not hindered.

Abstract
Description
Die Erfindung bezieht sich auf eine Ponton-Kupplung zum Verbinden von mehreren Einzel-Pontons mit an den Pontonseitenwänden angeordneten,senkrechten Führungen, in die ein profilartiger mit Anschlägen versehener Kupplungsträger einsetzbar ist.The invention relates to a pontoon coupling for connecting a plurality of individual pontoons with vertical guides arranged on the pontoon side walls, into which a profile-like coupling carrier provided with stops can be inserted.
Eine derartige Ponton-Kupplung ist aus dem deutschen DE-GM 1 827 322 bekannt.Such a pontoon coupling is known from German DE-GM 1 827 322.
Hierbei weisen die Pontonseitenwände Aussparungen und in diese senkrecht einschiebbare Kupplungsstäbe etwa doppel-T-förmigen Querschnitts auf. Damit auch Kräfte in lotrechter Richtung übertragen werden können, soll zumindest ein Teil der Aussparungen und der Kupplungsstäbe unter einer anderen Neigung zur Lotrechten angeordnet sein als die übrigen Aussparungen und Kupplungsstäbe.Here, the pontoon side walls have recesses and coupling rods which can be inserted vertically and have an approximately double-T-shaped cross section. So that forces can also be transmitted in the vertical direction, at least some of the recesses and the coupling rods should be arranged at a different inclination to the vertical than the other recesses and coupling rods.
An dieser Lösung ist nachteilig, daß ein Zusammenfügen einzelner Schwimmkörper nur bei ruhigem Wasser möglich ist. Ein Einbringen der schräg zur Lotrechten angeordneten Kupplungsstäbe ist bei bewegtem Wasser nicht möglich, da - bedingt durch die lotrechte Bewegungsfreiheit - die Führungsaussparungen der zu verbindenden Schwimm- körper nicht in Übereinstimmung bringbar sind.This solution has the disadvantage that it is only possible to assemble individual floats when the water is calm. It is not possible to insert the coupling rods, which are arranged at an angle to the vertical, when the water is moving, since - due to the vertical freedom of movement - the guide recesses of the floating bodies to be connected cannot be brought into line.
Wie aus der Figur 1 zu ersehen, ist bei dieser Lösung eine Vielzahl von Verbindungselementen erforderlich; (dargestellt sind 10 Stäbe) wobei nicht klar ist, wieviel Stäbe senkrecht und wieviele geneigt eingesetzt sind.As can be seen from FIG. 1, this solution requires a large number of connecting elements; (10 bars are shown) where it is not clear how many bars are inserted vertically and how many are inclined.
Eine weitere Lösung ist aus der DE-PS 25 28 961 bekannt. Gegenstand dieses Patentes ist die Anordnung von sogenannten Knaggen an der Bordwand, welche als Anschlag für den Stopper dienen. Nachteilig an dieser Lösung ist, daß die Knaggen an der senkrechten Bordwand vorgesehen sind. In der Praxis hat sich gezeigt, daß es durch diese Anordnung zur Deformierung der Bordwand gekommen ist, das hat zur Folge, daß sich der Kupplungsträger nicht mehr aus der Führung herausziehen läßt. Eine Verformung der Bordwand kann nur durch aufwendige Aussteifungsmaßnahmen, die zu einer erheblichen Verteuerung führen, behoben werden.Another solution is known from DE-PS 25 28 961. The subject of this patent is the arrangement of so-called lugs on the side wall, which serve as a stop for the stopper. The disadvantage of this solution is that the lugs are provided on the vertical side wall. In practice it has been shown that this arrangement has caused the side wall to be deformed, with the result that the coupling carrier can no longer be pulled out of the guide. A deformation of the side wall can only be remedied by complex stiffening measures, which lead to a considerable increase in price.
Der Erfindung liegt daher die Aufgabe zugrunde, die aufgezeigten Mängel zu beheben und eine Ponton-Kupplung zu schaffen, die die Verbindung von mehreren vorzugsweise drei nebeneinanderliegenden Pontons gestattet, und hierbei die Pontons in ihrer Gesamtheit als einziges Fahrzeug auch bei ungleichmäßiger Belastung reagieren läßt, wobei eine Verformung der Bordwände ausgeschlossen wird.The invention is therefore based on the object to remedy the shortcomings and to create a pontoon coupling which allows the connection of several preferably three adjacent pontoons, and thereby the pontoons in their entirety as the only vehicle can react even with uneven loading, whereby deformation of the side walls is excluded.
Die Aufgabe wird gemäß der Erfindung dadurch gelöst, daß als obere Begrenzung für den Stopper eine in die Deckplatte eingelassene über die Bordwand vorstehende Platte vorgesehen ist.The object is achieved according to the invention in that a plate protruding into the cover plate and protruding from the side wall is provided as the upper limit for the stopper.
Eine vorteilhafte weitere Ausbildung der Erfindung besteht darin, daß in das Ponton-Bodenblech eine der Anschlagplatte gegenüberliegende - aber geschlossene Anschlagplatte für den Kupplungsträger eingesetzt ist.An advantageous further embodiment of the invention is that in the pontoon base plate a stop plate opposite the stop plate - but closed stop plate for the coupling carrier is inserted.
Ferner ist es vorteilhaft, in der oberen Anschlagplatte Permanentmagneten oder Elektromagneten vorzusehen.It is also advantageous to provide permanent magnets or electromagnets in the upper stop plate.
Die Erfindung wird nun anhand eines in der Zeichnung dargestellten Ausführungsbeispiels näher erläutert.The invention will now be explained in more detail with reference to an embodiment shown in the drawing.
Die Figur zeigt eine perspektivische Ansicht des oberen Bereiches einer Ponton-Kupplung, bei der die Kante zwischen Deckoberseite und nahezu senkrechter Bordwand durch eine gestrichelte Linie (11) dargestellt ist. In der Deckoberseite ist die Anschlagplatte (1) versenkt befestigt, damit keine unnötigen Vorsprünge an Deck die Ladefläche einengen. Die Anschlagplatte ragt über die Seitenkante so weit heraus, daß der Stopper (2) eine ausreichend große Anlagefläche hat, um ein Herausrutschen des Kupplungsträgers (8) zu verhindern. Der in der Anschlagplatte (1) vorgesehene Ausschnitt ist so dimensioniert, daß ein leichtes auch bei leichtem Seegang unbehindertes Herausziehen bzw. Einführen des Kupplungsträgers (8) ermöglicht wird.The figure shows a perspective view of the upper area of a pontoon coupling, in which the edge between the top of the deck and the almost vertical side wall is represented by a broken line (11). The stop plate (1) is countersunk in the top of the deck so that no unnecessary projections on the deck constrict the loading area. The stop plate protrudes beyond the side edge so far that the stopper (2) has a sufficiently large contact surface to prevent the coupling carrier (8) from slipping out. The cutout provided in the stop plate (1) is dimensioned in such a way that the coupling carrier (8) can be pulled out or inserted easily, even in light sea conditions.
An der Bodenseite des Pontons gegenüber der oberen Anschlagplatte (1) ist eine geschlossene, d.h. ohne Ausschnitt versehene Anschlagplatte vorgesehen. Auf dieser Platte ruht im Normalbetrieb der Kupplungsträger (8). Es wurde darauf verzichtet, die untere Seite ebenfalls in der Figur darzustellen.On the bottom side of the pontoon opposite the upper stop plate (1) is a closed, i.e. stop plate provided without cutout. The clutch carrier (8) rests on this plate during normal operation. The lower side was also omitted from the figure.
Um ein leichteres Montieren des Stoppers zu ermöglichen und bei der Demontage zu verhindern, daß der Stopper versehentlich seitlich wegrutscht und ins Wasser fällt, ist die obere Anschlagplatte mit Permanentmagneten oder Elektromagneten ausgerüstet, welche in ihrer Anzugskraft so bemessen sind, daß ein selbsttätiges Herausfallen verhindert, eine bewußte Demontage oder Montage jedoch nicht behindert.wird.In order to make it easier to assemble the stopper and to prevent the stopper from accidentally slipping sideways and falling into the water during disassembly, the upper stop plate is equipped with permanent magnets or electromagnets, which are dimensioned in such a way that they cannot fall out automatically. deliberate disassembly or assembly is not hindered.
