Description

Die Erfindung betrifft einen Griffbandspanner mit kindergesichertem Ver­schluß eines über den Deckel einer als Haushaltsgroßgebinde geeigneten Tragepackung straff zu spannenden Griffbandes. Als Tragepackung kommen Gebinde nach Art von Rechteck-, Quadrat- oder Rundtrommeln bzw. -schachteln aus Pappe, Karton, Kunststoff oder dergleichen in Frage.The invention relates to a grip tape tensioner with a child-resistant closure of a grip that is tight to be tensioned over the lid of a carrying package suitable as large household containers. Containers in the form of rectangular, square or round drums or boxes made of cardboard, cardboard, plastic or the like are suitable as a carrying pack.

Zur Kindersicherung des Verschlusses von Großgebinden ist es aus den DE-OS 32 32 535 und 32 06 531 bekannt, das aus Kunststoff bestehende und als Trageelement des Gebindes dienende Griffband über den Deckel der Tragepackung hinweg zu spannen und in der gespannten Position zu arretieren. Durch das Spannen des Griffbandes an einander gegenüber­liegenden schmalen Streifen des Packungsumfangs wird der Deckel gegen die Packungsoberkante gepreßt. Die dadurch erzielte Andrückkraft des Deckels an der Packung muß ausreichen, Kinder im gefährdeten Alter auch daran zu hindern, den Packungsinhalt am Deckel vorbei oder durch teilweises Anheben des Deckels zu erreichen.For child safety of the closure of large containers, it is known from DE-OS 32 32 535 and 32 06 531 to stretch the plastic handle strap which serves as a carrying element of the container over the lid of the carrying pack and to lock it in the tensioned position. The lid is pressed against the top edge of the package by tensioning the grip tape on opposite narrow strips of the package circumference. The resulting pressing force of the lid on the package must be sufficient to prevent children at risk of reaching the contents of the package past the lid or by partially lifting the lid.

Bei den bekannten Konstruktionen reicht die Anpreßkraft häufig nicht aus, ein die Produktentnahme ermöglichendes seitliches Anlüften des Deckels auszuschließen. Außerdem sind die bekannten Systeme aufwendig, das Griffband besteht aus zwei durch die jeweiligen Sicherungselemente zusammenzuhaltenden Teilen.In the known constructions, the contact pressure is often not sufficient to preclude a lateral lifting of the cover which enables the product to be removed. In addition, the known systems are complex, the grip tape consists of two parts to be held together by the respective securing elements.

Der Erfindung liegt die Aufgabe zugrunde, eine Tragepackung mit kinder­gesichertem Griffbandspanner zu schaffen, der es erlaubt, das Griffband ohne wesentliche Kraftanstrengung mit so großer Kraft über dem Deckel zu spannen, daß Kinder im gefährdeten Alter nicht in der Lage sind, den Deckel auch nur teilweise anzulüften, wenn die Kindersicherung aktiviert ist. Für den Griffbandspanner eingangs genannter Art ist die erfindungsgemäße Lösung gekennzeichnet durch ein Paar von mit dem Griffband, verschiebbar in dessen Längsrichtung, zu verbindenden und über eine gemeinsame, in Richtung quer zu der Bandlängsrichtung etwa in der Bandebene verlaufende Spannachse gegeneinander schwenkbar gekoppelten Spannelementen mit einer durch Schwenken um die Spann­achse und Zusammenklappen der Spannelemente einzurastenden, kinder­gesicherten Verriegelung.The invention has for its object to provide a carry pack with child-resistant grip tape tensioner, which allows the grip tape with so much force over the lid without significant effort to tension that children at risk of age are not able to even partially open the cover when the child lock is activated. For the grip tape tensioner of the type mentioned at the outset, the solution according to the invention is characterized by a pair of tension elements to be connected to the grip strap, displaceable in its longitudinal direction and via a common tensioning element which is pivotable relative to one another via a common tension axis running in the direction transverse to the longitudinal direction of the strap approximately in the strap plane Swiveling around the clamping axis and folding the clamping elements into place, child-proof locking.

Durch die Erfindung wird ein Griffbandspanner bestehend aus einem Paar gegeneinander zu klappender Spannelemente geschafffen, welche nach Anlenken am Griffband und Positionieren - durch Verschieben längs des Griffbandes - lediglich durch Zusammenklappen kindergesichert aneinander zu arretieren sind. Bereits nach Lösen der zusammengeklapp­ten Position ist ein wiederholtes problemloses Straffspannen des Griff­bandes möglich. Dieses Straffspannen erfolgt durch Umklappen des einen Spannelements auf das andere etwa wie beim Verschließen eines Koffers, so daß die Handhabung nicht nur mit geringer Kraft sondern auch ohne besonderes Nachdenken erfolgen kann. Hierzu muß die Länge des Griff­bandes aber so vorgegeben werden, daß das Band durch Zusammenklappen der Spannungselemente bei Aktivierung der Kindersicherung die gewünsch­te maximal zulässige Längsspannung erhält.The invention provides a grip tape tensioner consisting of a pair of tensioning elements which can be folded against one another and which, after being articulated on the grip strap and positioning - by moving along the grip strap - can only be locked against one another in a childproof manner by folding up. After loosening the folded position, it is possible to tighten the grip tape again and again without problems. This tightening takes place by folding one of the tensioning elements onto the other, for example as when closing a case, so that handling can be done not only with little force but also without special thought. For this purpose, the length of the grip tape must be specified so that the tape receives the desired maximum permitted longitudinal tension by folding the tension elements when the childproof lock is activated.

Als Kindersicherung der Vierriegelung der zusammengeklappten Spannele­mente kommen Einrastverschlüsse verschiedener Art in Frage. Gemäß weiterer Erfindung wird es bevorzugt, wenn die kindergesicherte Verriege­lung der Spannelemente als durch Gegeneinanderdrücken der zusammen­geklappten Spannelemente einzurastende sowie durch gleichzeitiges Gegen­einanderdrücken und Relativverschieben in der Bandlängsrichtung der Spannelemente wieder zu lösende Einhakverbindung ausgebildet wird. Insbesondere kann die Einhakverbindung aus einem in einer Vertiefung des einen Spannelements vorgesehenen Haken und einem als Nase des anderen Spannelements ausgebildeten Haken bestehen, die beim Zusam­mendrücken der Spannelemente selbsttätig ineinander greifen und von Kindern im gefährdeten Alter wegen der zum Lösen erforderlichen Betätigung überlagerter Bewegungen nicht zu öffnen sind.Snap locks of various types can be used as a child lock for the four-point locking of the folded clamping elements. According to a further invention, it is preferred if the child-proof locking of the tensioning elements is to be locked in place by pressing the folded tensioning elements against one another and by simultaneously pressing against one another and relative displacement in the belt longitudinal direction Clamping elements to be detached again is formed. In particular, the hooking connection can consist of a hook provided in a recess of the one tensioning element and a hook designed as a nose of the other tensioning element, which interlock automatically when the tensioning elements are pressed together and cannot be opened by children at risk of age due to the overlapping movements required to release them are.

Grundsätzlich soll der erfindungsgemäße Griffbandspanner in jedem seiner Spannelemente einen quer zu der Spannachse verlaufenden Durch­gangskanal als Griffbandaufnahme besitzen. Der Kanal kann zum Einfä­deln des Griffbandes ausgebildet werden. Bevorzugt wird es jedoch, wenn jedes Spannelement aus zwei um ein in Längsrichtung des Griffban­des bzw. des Durchgangskanals verlaufendes Scharnier bei eingelegtem Griffband flach aufeinander zu fixierende Klappen besteht. Der Griff­bandspanner kann dann durch einfaches Auflegen der Spannelemente auf das Griffband und anschließendes Umlegen der Klappen um das Griffband an dieses, verschiebbar in Bandlängsrichtung, angelenkt werden. Wenn die Fixierung der den Durchgangskanal bildenden Klappen lösbar ist, kann der Griffbandspanner bei Inangriffnahme einer neuen Trage­packung wieder verwendet werden. Da der Griffbandspanner erhebliche Kräfte aufnehmen muß, ist es zweckmäßig, ihn aus einem formstabilen Kunststoff herzustellen.Basically, the grip tape tensioner according to the invention should have in each of its tensioning elements a passage channel running transversely to the tensioning axis as a grip tape holder. The channel can be designed to thread the grip tape. However, it is preferred if each tensioning element consists of two flaps which are to be fixed flat on one another around a hinge running in the longitudinal direction of the grip tape or the through-channel when the grip tape is inserted. The grip tape tensioner can then be articulated by simply placing the tensioning elements on the grip tape and then folding the flaps around the grip tape, displaceable in the longitudinal direction of the tape. If the fixing of the flaps forming the through-channel can be released, the grip-band tensioner can be used again when a new carrying pack is started. Since the grip tape tensioner has to absorb considerable forces, it is advisable to manufacture it from a dimensionally stable plastic.

Fig. 1 zeigt eine Tragetrommel 1 mit einem Stülpdeckel 2 und einem am Trommelumfang mit Hilfe von Nieten 3 befestigten Griffband 4. Während Tragetrommel 1 und Deckel 2 aus Pappe oder Karton bestehen können, soll das Griffband 4 im allgemeinen aus einem zugfesten Kunst­stoff hergestellt werden.1 shows a carrying drum 1 with a slip cover 2 and a grip tape 4 fastened to the drum circumference with the aid of rivets 3. While carrying drum 1 and cover 2 can consist of cardboard or cardboard, the grip strip 4 should generally be made of a tensile plastic.

In Fig. 1 auf dem Griffband 4 liegend ein insgesamt mit 5 bezeich­ neter Griffbandspanner in ganz geöffneter Stellung dargestellt. Der Griffbandspanner 5 wird im Ausführungsbeispiel aus einem Paar von Spannelementen 6 und 7 gebildet, die über ein Filmscharnier 8 mit­einander verbunden werden. Das Filmscharnier 8 ermöglicht eine Schwenk­bewegung der Spannelemente 6 und 7 gegeneinander um eine quer zur Bandlängsrichtung 9 in der Bandebene verlaufende Spannachse 10. Seit­lich an den Rand jedes der Spannelemente 6 und 7 wird jeweils über ein Filmscharnier 11 und 12 je eine Klappe 13 und 14 angelenkt. Die Filmscharniere 11 und 12 verlaufen etwa parallel zur Bandlängsrichtung 9. Auf der Oberfläche des einen Spannelements 6 befindet sich eine Einrastnase 15, der in der Oberfläche des anderen Spannelements 7 ein Einrastloch 16 zugeordnet wird.In Fig. 1 lying on the handle 4 a total of 5 Neter grip tensioner shown in the fully open position. In the exemplary embodiment, the grip tape tensioner 5 is formed from a pair of tensioning elements 6 and 7, which are connected to one another via a film hinge 8. The film hinge 8 enables a pivoting movement of the tensioning elements 6 and 7 against one another about a tensioning axis 10 extending transversely to the longitudinal direction 9 of the tape in the tape plane. A flap 13 and 14 is articulated laterally to the edge of each of the tensioning elements 6 and 7 via a film hinge 11 and 12, respectively . The film hinges 11 and 12 run approximately parallel to the longitudinal direction 9 of the band. On the surface of one clamping element 6 there is a latching lug 15, which is assigned a latching hole 16 in the surface of the other clamping element 7.

Montage und Funktion des Griffbandspanners 5 nach Fig. 1 werden in den Fig. 2 bis 4 anschaulich dargestellt. Fig. 2 zeigt den Zustand des Griffbandspanners 5, in dem die Klappen 13 und 14 um die Achsen der Filmscharniere 11 und 12 in Pfeilrichtung 17 (Fig. 1) unter das Griffband 4 und damit unter die Spannelemente 6 und 7 geklappt worden sind. Durch diesen Vorgang wird das Griffband 4 in einen zwischen den Spannelementen 6 und 7 einerseits und den Klappen 13 und 14 andererseits gebildeten Durchgangskanal 18 eingeschlossen. Der Durch­gangskanal 18 erlaubt ein Verschieben des Griffbandspanners 5 nach Fig. 2 längs des Griffbandes 4 in eine bleibende, zum Spannen günstige und beim Tragen nicht behindernde Position z.B. am Rand 19 des Dek­kels 2 der Tragetrommel 1. Durch Aufeinanderklappen der Spannelemente 6 und 7 in Pfeilrichtung 20 (Fig. 3) wird das Griffband 4 um das eine Spannelement 6 herum gewickelt sowie um den entsprechenden Betrag verkürzt und dadurch straff über die Deckeloberseite gespannt (Fig.4).The assembly and function of the grip tape tensioner 5 according to FIG. 1 are clearly illustrated in FIGS. 2 to 4. FIG. 2 shows the state of the grip tape tensioner 5, in which the flaps 13 and 14 have been folded around the axes of the film hinges 11 and 12 in the direction of arrow 17 (FIG. 1) under the grip tape 4 and thus under the tensioning elements 6 and 7. Through this process, the grip tape 4 is enclosed in a through-channel 18 formed between the tensioning elements 6 and 7 on the one hand and the flaps 13 and 14 on the other hand. The through-channel 18 allows the grip tape tensioner 5 according to FIG. 2 to be moved along the grip strap 4 into a permanent position which is favorable for tensioning and does not impede when carrying e.g. at the edge 19 of the cover 2 of the carrying drum 1. By opening the tensioning elements 6 and 7 in the direction of the arrow 20 (FIG. 3), the grip tape 4 is wrapped around the one tensioning element 6 and shortened by the corresponding amount and thereby stretched tightly over the top of the lid ( Fig. 4).

Aufbau und Einzelheiten des Griffbandspanners 5 werden anhand der Fig. 5 bis 8 erläutert. In diesen Figuren sowie in den nachfolgenden Figuren werden gleiche Teile wie in den Fig. 1 bis 4 bezeichnet. Fig. 5 zeigt den Griffbandspanner 5 in ganz geöffneter Stellung in der An­sicht von oben. Fig. 6 zeigt den Giffbandspanner 5 als Schnitt längs der Linie Vi-VI von Fig. 5. Fig. 7 ist eine Ansicht von unten des Griff­bandspanners 5 nach Fig. 5. Fig. 8 ist eine Seitenansicht in Richtung VII von Fig. 8. Auf der dem Griffband bei Anwendung zuzuwendenden Rückseite der Spannelemente 6 und 7 wird eine durchgehende Ausneh­mung 21 zur Aufnahme des Griffbandes 4 vorgesehen. Nach Zusammen­schlagen in Pfeilrichtung 17, der Klappen 13 bzw. 14 und der Spannele­mente 6 bzw. 7 wird also mit Hilfe der Ausnehmungen 21 ein Durchgangs­kanal 18 gebildet. Um eine feste Arretierung der Klappen 13 und 14 auf der jeweiligen Rückseite der Spannelemente 6 und 7 zu gewährleisten, werden im Ausführungsbeispiel auf den Klappen 13 und 14 Rastnocken 22 und in den Spannelementen 6 und 7 entsprechende Rastverschlüsse 23 vorgesehen.The structure and details of the grip tape tensioner 5 are explained with reference to FIGS. 5 to 8. In these figures as well as in the following Figures are designated the same parts as in Figs. 1 to 4. Fig. 5 shows the grip tensioner 5 in the fully open position in the view from above. 6 shows the handle strap tensioner 5 as a section along the line VI-VI of FIG. 5. FIG. 7 is a bottom view of the handle strap tensioner 5 of FIG. 5. FIG. 8 is a side view in the direction VII of FIG. 8. On the back of the tensioning elements 6 and 7 to be turned towards the grip tape, a continuous recess 21 is provided for receiving the grip tape 4. After beating in the direction of the arrow 17, the flaps 13 and 14 and the clamping elements 6 and 7, a through-channel 18 is thus formed with the aid of the recesses 21. In order to ensure a firm locking of the flaps 13 and 14 on the respective rear side of the tensioning elements 6 and 7, in the exemplary embodiment latching cams 22 are provided on the flaps 13 and 14 and corresponding snap fasteners 23 are provided in the tensioning elements 6 and 7.

Die Fig. 9 bis 11 zeigen den Griffbandspanner 5 in derjenigen Stellung, in der die Klappen 13 und 14 um die zugehörigen Filmscharniere 11 und 12 in Pfeilrichtung 17 auf die Rückseiten der Spannelemente 6 und 7 geklappt worden sind. Das Griffband 4 befindet sich dann im Durchgangskanal 18. Zunächst liegen die Spannelemente 6 und 7 aber noch gestreckt auf dem Trageband 4. Aus den Fig. 9 und 11 geht hervor, wie das Trageband 4 in den gestreckten Griffbandspanner 5 eingeschlos­sen werden kann. Zur Erläuterung der einzelnen Bezugszeichen bzw. Elemente wird auf die Beschreibung der vorhergehenden Figuren ver­wiesen.9 to 11 show the grip tape tensioner 5 in the position in which the flaps 13 and 14 have been folded around the associated film hinges 11 and 12 in the direction of arrow 17 on the rear sides of the tensioning elements 6 and 7. The grip tape 4 is then located in the through-channel 18. Initially, the tensioning elements 6 and 7 are still stretched on the carrying strap 4. FIGS. 9 and 11 show how the carrying strap 4 can be enclosed in the stretched grip strap tensioner 5. For an explanation of the individual reference symbols or elements, reference is made to the description of the preceding figures.

In Fig. 12 wird eine Seitenansicht und in Fig. 13 wird ein Fig. 12 ent­sprechender Schnitt durch einen Griffbandspanner 5 in der Spannstellung mit kindergesichertem Verschluß dargestellt. Das Griffband 4 wird durch Zusammenklappen der Spannelemente 6 und 7 gewissermaßen um das Spannelement 6 herumgewickelt und etwa um den zweifachen Betrag der Länge des Spannelements 6 verkürzt. Wenn eine straffe Spannung des Griffbandes 4 bei aktiviertem Griffbandspanner 5 erzielt werden soll, ist es also erforderlich, die Länge des Griffbandes 4 so abzumessen, daß sich die Längen des straff gespannten Bandes einerseits und des gelockerten Bandes andererseits um etwa die doppelte Länge des Spann­elements 6 unterscheiden.FIG. 12 shows a side view and FIG. 13 shows a section corresponding to FIG. 12 through a grip tape tensioner 5 in the tensioned position with a child-resistant closure. The grip 4 is to a certain extent by folding the clamping elements 6 and 7 Clamping element 6 wrapped around and shortened by about twice the length of the clamping element 6. If a tight tension of the grip tape 4 is to be achieved with the grip tape tensioner 5 activated, it is therefore necessary to measure the length of the grip tape 4 so that the lengths of the tightly tensioned strap on the one hand and the loosened strap on the other hand are approximately twice the length of the tensioning element 6 differentiate.

In dem Ausführungsbeispiel der kindergesicherten Verriegelung der zu­sammengeklappten Spannelemente 6 und 7 nach Fig. 13 greifen im verriegelten Zustand zwei J-förmige Haken ineinander. Der eine J-Haken 24 befindet sich am Ende einer an das Spannelement 6 angeformten Verschlußnase 26, während der andere J-Haken 25 in eine der Verschluß­nase 26 zugeordnete Verschlußöffnung 27 integriert wird. Ersichtlich können die beiden Haken ohne eine überlagerte Betätigung,die ein ab­straktes Denken erforderlich macht, nicht voneinander gelöst werden. Die Arretierung der Verriegelung der Spannelemente 6 und 7 nach Fig. 13 ist daher in der vorgeschriebenen Weise kindergesichert.In the exemplary embodiment of the child-resistant locking of the collapsed clamping elements 6 and 7 according to FIG. 13, two J-shaped hooks interlock in the locked state. One J-hook 24 is located at the end of a locking lug 26 molded onto the tensioning element 6, while the other J-hook 25 is integrated into a locking opening 27 assigned to the locking lug 26. Obviously, the two hooks cannot be separated from one another without an overlapping actuation that requires abstract thinking. The locking of the locking of the tensioning elements 6 and 7 according to FIG. 13 is therefore childproof in the prescribed manner.

Zum Entarretieren der verriegelten Stellung der Spannelemente 6 und 7 nach Fig. 13 sind vor dem Zurückkippen des Spannelements 6 um das Filmscharnier 8 in Pfeilrichtung 28 zunächst ein Andrücken in Pfeil­richtung 29 (zum Trennen der beiden Haken 24 und 25) und dann eine Relativbewegung in Pfeilrichtung 30 der beiden Spannelemente 6 und 7 zueinander, wobei eine Querbeweglichkeit des Filmscharniers 8 erfor­derlich ist und ausgenutzt wird. Ohne das Drücken in Pfeilrichtung 29 und Schieben in Pfeilrichtung 30 können die beiden Spannelemente 6 und 7 nach Fig. 14 nicht voneinander getrennt werden.To unlock the locked position of the tensioning elements 6 and 7 according to FIG. 13, before the tensioning element 6 is tilted back about the film hinge 8 in the direction of the arrow 28, it is first pressed in the direction of the arrow 29 (to separate the two hooks 24 and 25) and then a relative movement in the direction of the arrow 30 of the two clamping elements 6 and 7 to each other, wherein a transverse mobility of the film hinge 8 is required and is used. Without pressing in the direction of arrow 29 and pushing in the direction of arrow 30, the two clamping elements 6 and 7 according to FIG. 14 cannot be separated from one another.
