FigurenbeschreibungFigure description

Anhand der Zeichnung wird ein Ausführungsbeispiel der Erfindung erläutert. Es zeigen:

Fig. 1
den äußeren Grundaufbau einer erfindungsgemäßen Abfahrsperre in zwei um 90° gegeneinander gedrehten Ansichten
Fig. 2
die Abfahrsperre der Fig. 1 geschnitten in drei unterschiedlichen Situationen x, y und z
Die Fig. 1 zeigt die Abfahrsperre in zwei Seitenansichten, mit einem in den Boden einbetonierten Bodenrohr a, mit einem Querbolzen b, der das Bodenrohr a gegen Herausziehen sichert und zugleich als Tiefenanschlag für ein in das Bodenrohr a einschiebbare Schubrohr c dient.An embodiment of the invention will be explained with reference to the drawing. Show it:
Fig. 1
the outer basic structure of a shut-off device according to the invention in two views rotated by 90 °
Fig. 2
1 cut in three different situations x, y and z
Fig. 1 shows the shut-off in two side views, with a bottom tube a concreted in the floor, with a cross bolt b, which secures the bottom tube a against pulling out and at the same time serves as a depth stop for a push tube c which can be inserted into the bottom tube a.

Am oberen Ende vom Schubrohr c ist ein Querrohr d drehbar gelagert. Durch ein im Schubrohr c eingebautes Schloß e kann das Querrohr d gegen Verdrehen gesichert werden.At the upper end of the push tube c, a cross tube d is rotatably mounted. The cross tube d can be secured against twisting by a lock e installed in the push tube c.

Die Fig. 2 zeigt die Abfahrsperre im Schnitt, mit den Ansichten x, y und z, wobei der Einfachheit halber das Schloß e nicht dargestellt ist.
Innerhalb des Schubrohrs c ist um das Querrohr d eine Segmentbuchse f befestigt, woran eine mit einem Formteil h verbundene Kette g angebracht ist. Das Formteil h ist durch Schlitze eines quer im Schubrohr c eingeschweißte Kugelführungsrohrs i geführt und wird durch eine Zugfeder k auf Vorspannung gehalten. Das Formteil h ist mittig von zwei Kugeln j liegend so gestaltet, daß im herausgezogenen Zustand des Schubrohrs c über die Vorspannung der Zugfeder k beide Kugeln j in Kugelrastbohrungen l des Bodenrohrs a einrasten. Bei durch das Schloß e gegen Verdrehung gesichertem Querrohr d kann mittels der Segmentbuchse f und der Kette g das Formteil h nicht angehoben werden. Die Kugeln j können dann nicht aus den Kugelrastbohrungen l zurück, wodurch das Schubrohr c gegen Herausziehen oder Absenken, wie die Ansicht x zeigt, gesichert ist. Aus Ansicht y ist erkennbar, daß bei entriegeltem und gedrehtem Querrohr d mittels der Segmentbuchse f und der Kette g das Formteil h angehoben ist, wodurch die Kugeln j aus den Kugelrastbohrungen l zurück können und das Schubrohr c nun abgesenkt (oder auch herausgezogen) werden kann.
FIG. 2 shows the shutdown lock in section, with the views x, y and z, the lock e not being shown for the sake of simplicity.
A segment bushing f is fastened around the cross tube d within the push tube c, to which a chain g connected to a molded part h is attached. The molded part h is guided through slots of a ball guide tube i welded transversely into the push tube c and is held in tension by a tension spring k. The molded part h is designed in the center of two balls j so that when the push tube c is pulled out, both balls j snap into the ball locking holes l of the bottom tube a via the preload of the tension spring k. When the cross tube d is secured against rotation by the lock e, the molded part h cannot be raised by means of the segment bushing f and the chain g. The balls j can then not return from the ball locking holes l, whereby the push tube c is secured against pulling out or lowering, as view x shows. From view y it can be seen that when the cross tube d is unlocked and rotated, the molded part h is raised by means of the segment bushing f and the chain g, as a result of which the balls j can return from the ball locking holes l and the push tube c can now be lowered (or also pulled out) .

In der Ansicht z ist das Schubrohr c bis zum Tiefenanschlag b abgesenkt und die Kugeln j sind aus den Kugelrastbohrungen herausgedrückt. Das Querrohr d ist zurückgedreht und mittels des Schlosses e gegen Verdrehung gesichert. Der Schlüssel ist abgezogen und wird mitgenommen. Die Abfahrsperre kann nun mit dem zu sichernden Fahrzeug überfahren werden.
Die Ansicht z zeigt, daß die Kette g jetzt spannungslos ist. Das Formteil h steht unter Federvorspannung, wodurch sich die Abfahrsperre beim späteren Herausziehen des Schubrohrs c selbst verriegelt, da dabei die Kugeln j von selbst in die Kugelrastbohrungen l einrasten. Die Abfahrsperre ist ohne Schlüsselbetätigung abgeschlossen. Man muß also bei der erfindungsgemäßen Abfahrsperre nur zum Absenken des Schubrohrs c den Schlüssel benutzen. Bei Anheben des Schubrohrs verriegelt sie sich selbst. Um eine Verschmutzung zu vermeiden, sind die Kugelrastbohrungen mit Abdeckungen m abgedeckt.
In view z, the push tube c is lowered to the depth stop b and the balls j are pressed out of the ball locking holes. The cross tube d is turned back and secured against rotation by means of the lock e. The key has been removed and will be taken away. The shutdown lock can now be run over with the vehicle to be secured.
View z shows that the chain g is now without tension. The molded part h is spring-loaded, whereby the shut-off lock itself locks when the push tube c is later pulled out, since the balls j automatically snap into the ball locking holes l. The shutdown lock is completed without key operation. So you have to use the key with the shutdown lock according to the invention only to lower the push tube c. It locks itself when the push tube is lifted. To prevent contamination, the ball catch holes are covered with covers m.

Man kann, was nicht dargestellt ist, am Bodenrohr a eine Einfassung mit Deckel anbringen, die das Schubrohrende mit dem Querrohr d aufnimmt. Die Abfahrsperre ist dann ebenerdig eingebaut.You can, what is not shown, attach a bezel with a cover to the bottom tube a, which receives the push tube end with the cross tube d. The shutdown lock is then installed at ground level.

Alternativ könnte die Abfahrsperre in der in Fig. 2, Ansicht z gezeigten Stellung leicht über der umgebenden Boden überstehen.Alternatively, the shut-off device could protrude slightly above the surrounding floor in the position shown in FIG. 2, view z.
