Description

Die Erfindung betrifft ein Anschlagelement zum Verkoppeln eines Anschlagmittels, wie einen Schäkel, Haken oder Ring, oder eines Hebemittels, wie einem Band, einem Seil, einer Kette oder einem Gurt, mit einem zu transportierenden Gut, wobei das Anschlagelement einen Befestigungsabschnitt besitzt, in den eine länglich geformte Öffnung eingeformt ist, die von der Oberseite des Befestigungsabschnitts zu einer auf der Unterseite des Befestigungsabschnitts ausgebildeten Aufstandfläche führt. Solch ein Anschlagelement ist z.B. aus US 2,848,267 A bekannt. Ebenso betrifft die Erfindung eine Kombination aus einem derartigen Anschlagelement und einem Befestigungsmittel, wobei das Befestigungsmittel ein Spannelement und ein Adapterstück umfassen kann.The invention relates to a stop element for coupling a stop means, such as a shackle, hook or ring, or a lifting means, such as a belt, a rope, a chain or a belt, with a good to be transported, wherein the stop element has a mounting portion, in the an elongate shaped opening is formed, which leads from the top of the mounting portion to a contact surface formed on the underside of the mounting portion. Such a stop element is eg off US 2,848,267 A known. Likewise, the invention relates to a combination of such a stop element and a fastening means, wherein the fastening means may comprise a clamping element and an adapter piece.

Anschlagelemente der hier in Rede stehenden Art weisen üblicherweise einen Befestigungsabschnitt, mit dem sie unmittelbar an dem zu transportierenden Gut befestigt werden, und ein Anschlagsegment auf, mit dem das jeweilige Hebemittel, wie Band, Seil, Kette oder Gurt, durch Knoten oder Schlaufen entweder direkt verbunden werden kann oder aus praktischen und sicherheitstechnischen Erwägungen über ein als Zwischenelement dienendes Anschlagmittel, wie einen Schäkel, einen Haken oder Ring, verbunden werden kann. In die Befestigungsabschnitte sind dabei Öffnungen eingeformt, durch die ein Befestigungsmittel, bei dem es sich typischerweise um eine Schraube oder einen Bolzen handelt, in eine korrespondierende Öffnung am jeweiligen Flansch des zu transportierenden Guts geführt werden kann. Um die Montage und das Ausrichten des Anschlagelements zu vereinfachen, sind die betreffenden Öffnungen in der Regel als Langlochöffnungen so ausgebildet, dass die genaue Winkellage des jeweiligen Anschlagelements vor dem endgültigen Verspannen des jeweiligen Befestigungselements noch einmal justiert werden kann.Stop elements of the type in question here usually have a mounting portion with which they are attached directly to the goods to be transported, and a stop segment on which the respective lifting means, such as tape, rope, chain or belt, by knots or loops either directly can be connected or for practical and safety considerations about serving as an intermediate element stop means, such as a Shackle, a hook or ring, can be connected. In this case, openings are formed in the fastening sections, through which a fastening means, which is typically a screw or a bolt, can be guided into a corresponding opening on the respective flange of the material to be transported. In order to simplify the assembly and alignment of the stop element, the openings in question are usually designed as slot openings so that the exact angular position of the respective stop element can be adjusted again before the final bracing of the respective fastener.

Solche Anschlagmittel werden beispielsweise zum Annheben und Ausrichten großer stählerner, separat vorgefertigter Turmelemente von Windkraftanlagen oder vergleichbar großer Rohre von Pipelines oder desgleichen verwendet. Der Durchmesser solcher jeweils rohrförmigen Elemente ist in der Regel deutlich geringer als deren Länge. Deshalb werden die Elemente liegend zum jeweiligen Standort transportiert.Such slings are used, for example, for lifting and aligning large steel, separately prefabricated tower elements of wind turbines or comparable sized pipes of pipelines or the like. The diameter of such respective tubular elements is generally much smaller than their length. Therefore, the elements are transported horizontally to the respective location.

Im Fall von Turmelementen müssen sie dann am Standort nicht nur von dem zur Beförderung genutzten Schwertransporter, Wagon oder Schiff angehoben und in ihre Endposition eingeschwenkt werden, sondern zusätzlich auch noch von der waagerechten Ausrichtung in eine senkrechte Ausrichtung gedreht werden, so dass sie auf ein Fundament bzw. ein bereits aufgestelltes Turmelement abgestellt werden können.In the case of tower elements, they must then be raised at the site not only by the used for carriage heavy truck, wagon or ship and pivoted to its final position, but also be rotated from the horizontal orientation in a vertical orientation, so that they on a foundation or an already erected tower element can be turned off.

Zum Anheben und Ausrichten werden typischerweise jeweils mindestens zwei Anschlagelemente an den Stirnseiten der Endflansche der rohrförmigen Elemente so befestigt, dass das eine Anschlagelement beispielsweise auf 10 Uhr und das zweite Element auf 2 Uhr montiert ist.For raising and aligning, in each case at least two stop elements are typically fastened to the end faces of the end flanges of the tubular elements such that the one stop element is mounted, for example, at 10 o'clock and the second element at 2 o'clock.

Infolge dieser Anordnung ist die Wirklinie der beim Anheben des Transportguts auf die zum Befestigen des jeweiligen Anschlagelements verwendeten Befestigungsmittel wirkenden Hebekräfte unter einem spitzen Winkel zur Schwerkraftwirkung ausgerichtet. Aufgrund dessen, dass die Befestigungsmittel jeweils in einer länglichen Öffnung des zugeordneten Befestigungsabschnitts des Anschlagelements sitzt, kann es daher im Fall, dass das jeweilige Spannmittel nicht mit ausreichender Kraft angezogen ist, dazu kommen, dass das Anschlagelement unter der Last verrutscht. Nach Überwindung der zwischen dem Anschlagelement und dem jeweiligen Flansch herrschenden Reibung erfolgt dieses Verrutschen vielfach schlagartig, so dass es zu einer gefährlichen plötzlichen Überlastung der Befestigungsmittel durch Querkräfte kommen kann, für die die Befestigungsmittel nicht ausgelegt sind.As a result of this arrangement, the line of action of the lifting forces acting on the fasteners used to lift the cargo to lift the cargo is oriented at an acute angle to the force of gravity. Due to the fact that the fastening means in each case sits in an elongated opening of the associated fastening portion of the stop element, it can therefore happen that the stop element slips under the load in the event that the respective clamping means is not tightened with sufficient force. After overcoming the prevailing between the stopper element and the respective flange friction this slipping takes place many times abruptly, so that it can lead to a dangerous sudden overloading of the fastening means by transverse forces for which the fastening means are not designed.

Vor diesem Hintergrund bestand die Aufgabe der Erfindung darin, ein Anschlagelement zu schaffen, bei dem die Gefahr eines Verrutschens auch unter unzureichender Spannung des jeweiligen Befestigungsmittels minimiert ist. Darüber hinaus sollte ein ein solches Anschlagelement und ein Befestigungselement umfassender Bausatz vorgeschlagen werden, mit dem eine dauerhaft sichere Befestigung des Anschlagelements auch unter ungünstigen Belastungen möglich ist.Against this background, the object of the invention to provide a stop element, in which the risk of slippage is minimized even under insufficient tension of the respective fastener. In addition, a such a stop element and a fastener comprehensive kit should be proposed, with a permanently secure attachment of the stop element is possible even under unfavorable loads.

In Bezug auf das Anschlagelement ist diese Aufgabe durch ein Anschlagelement gelöst worden, das erfindungsgemäß die in Anspruch 1 angegebenen Merkmale aufweist. Vorteilhafte Ausgestaltungen eines solchen Anschlagmittels sind in den auf Anspruch 1 rückbezogenen Ansprüchen angegeben.With respect to the stop element, this object has been achieved by a stop element, which according to the invention has the features specified in claim 1. Advantageous embodiments of such a stop means are specified in the dependent claims on claim 1.

In Bezug auf den Bausatz besteht die erfindungsgemäße Lösung der oben genannten Aufgabe durch die in Anspruch 11 angegebene Kombination aus Anschlagelement und Befestigungselement. Vorteilhafte Ausgestaltungen dieser Lösung sind in den auf Anspruch 11 rückbezogenen Ansprüchen angegeben.With respect to the kit, the solution according to the invention of the above-mentioned object by the specified in claim 11 combination of stop element and fastener. Advantageous embodiments of this solution are specified in the dependent claims on claim 11.

Ein erfindungsgemäßes Anschlagelement besitzt in an sich bekannter Weise mindestens einen Befestigungsabschnitt, in den eine länglich geformte Öffnung eingeformt ist, die von der Oberseite des Befestigungsabschnitts zu einer auf der Unterseite des Befestigungsabschnitts ausgebildeten Anlagefläche führt.A stop element according to the invention has, in a manner known per se, at least one fastening section into which an elongate shaped opening is formed, which leads from the upper side of the fastening section to a contact surface formed on the underside of the fastening section.

Erfindungsgemäß ist nun an dem Befestigungsabschnitt eine in Längsrichtung der länglichen Öffnung des Befestigungsabschnitts ausgerichtete Keilfläche ausgebildet. Diese Keilfläche verläuft in einer Ebene, welche die Längsachse der Öffnung unter einem spitzen Winkel schneidet. Dabei ist die Keilfläche als Abstützung für ein Befestigungsmittel ausgebildet, das zum Verspannen des Anschlagelements an dem zu transportierenden Gut vorgesehen ist.According to the invention, a wedge surface oriented in the longitudinal direction of the elongate opening of the fastening section is now formed on the fastening section. This wedge surface extends in a plane which intersects the longitudinal axis of the opening at an acute angle. In this case, the wedge surface is formed as a support for a fastening means which is provided for bracing the stop element on the goods to be transported.

Die erfindungsgemäß an dem Befestigungsabschnitt des Anschlagelements vorgesehene Keilfläche ist folglich so ausgerichtet, dass die in Längsrichtung der Öffnung des Befestigungsabschnitts und damit quer zum jeweiligen Befestigungsmittel wirkenden Kräfte in Richtung der vom Befestigungsmittel ausgeübten Spannkräfte umgeleitet werden und so zusätzlich zum Halt des Anschlagelements am jeweils zu transportierenden Gut beitragen. Es wird so eine Verkeilung des Anschlagelements erreicht, wodurch ein Verrutschen des Anschlagelements sicher verhindert wird.The inventively provided at the attachment portion of the stopper member wedge surface is thus aligned so that in the longitudinal direction of the opening of the Fixing portion and thus acting transversely to the respective fastening means forces are diverted in the direction of the clamping force exerted by the fastening means and thus contribute in addition to the support of the stop element on the respectively to be transported Good. It is achieved as a keying of the stop element, whereby slipping of the stop element is reliably prevented.

Dementsprechend umfasst bei einer erfindungsgemäßen Kombination aus einem erfindungsgemäß ausgebildeten Anschlagelement und einem Befestigungsmittel zum Verspannen des Anschlagelements an einem zu transportierenden Gut das Befestigungsmittel ein Formelement mit einer Keilfläche, mit der das Befestigungsmittel auf einer Keilfläche des ihm zugeordneten Befestigungsabschnitts des Anschlagelements verschiebbar abgestützt ist.Accordingly, in a combination according to the invention of a stop element designed according to the invention and a fastening means for bracing the stop element on a good to be transported, the fastening means comprises a form element with a wedge surface, with which the fastening means is slidably supported on a wedge surface of its associated attachment portion of the stop element.

Bei dem mit der Keilfläche versehenen Formelement kann es sich beispielsweise um einen gesondert ausgebildeten Absatz eines als einstückig ausgebildetes Befestigungsmittel dienenden Spannelements, wie einer Schraube oder eines Bolzens handeln, der in ausreichender Weise weit von dem Schraubenschaft absteht. Ebenso kann es sich bei dem mit der Keilfläche versehenen Formelement um den Schraubenkopf eines solchen Befestigungsmittels handeln.The shaped element provided with the wedge surface may be, for example, a separately formed shoulder of a clamping element designed as an integral fastening means, such as a screw or a bolt, which projects sufficiently far from the screw shank. Likewise, the shaped element provided with the wedge surface may be the screw head of such a fastening means.

Eine besonders vielseitige und gleichzeitig einfach und sicher handhabbare Ausgestaltung der Erfindung ergibt sich allerdings dann, wenn das Befestigungsmittel ein Spannelement, wie eine Schraube oder ein Bolzen, und als mit der Keilfläche versehenes Formelement ein separat vorgefertigtes Adapterstück umfasst, das eine Stützfläche zum Abstützen des Spannelements sowie eine Durchgangsöffnung aufweist, durch die das Spannelement in die Öffnung des zugeordneten Befestigungsabschnitt einführbar ist.A particularly versatile and at the same time easy and safe to handle embodiment of the invention, however, arises when the fastening means a clamping element, such as a screw or a bolt, and as provided with the wedge-shaped form element comprises a separately prefabricated adapter piece, which has a support surface for supporting the clamping element and a passage opening through which the clamping element is insertable into the opening of the associated attachment portion.

Die Entstehung von ungünstigen, auf das jeweilige Befestigungsmittel wirkenden Querkräften kann dadurch verhindert werden, dass sich gemäß einer ersten Ausgestaltung der Erfindung jeweils eine Keilfläche mit in Bezug auf die Längsachse der länglichen Öffnung des Befestigungsabschnitts gleicher Winkelausrichtung entlang beider Längsseiten der Öffnung erstreckt. Dabei lassen sich optimale Belastungen des Befestigungsmittels bei gleichzeitig minimiertem Raumbedarf des jeweiligen Befestigungsabschnitts des Anschlagelements dadurch erreichen, dass die jeweilige Keilfläche an die längliche Öffnung des Befestigungsabschnitts grenzt.The emergence of unfavorable, acting on the respective fastening means transverse forces can be prevented by extending according to a first embodiment of the invention each have a wedge surface with respect to the longitudinal axis of the elongate opening of the fixing portion of the same angular orientation along both longitudinal sides of the opening. In this case, optimal loads of the fastening means while minimizing the space requirement of the respective fastening portion of the stop element can be achieved in that the respective wedge surface adjoins the elongate opening of the fastening portion.

Die erfindungsgemäß jeweils an dem Befestigungsabschnitt des Anschlagelements ausgebildete Keilfläche ist selbstverständlich jeweils so ausgerichtet, dass die erfindungsgemäß vorgesehene Verkeilung des Anschlagelements an dem jeweiligen Befestigungsmittel erreicht wird. D.h., die jeweils wirksame Keilfläche ist so ausgerichtet, dass in Folge einer der durch die jeweiligen Haltekräfte ausgelösten eventuellen Bewegung des Anschlagelements das Befestigungsmittel in Richtung der von ihm ausgeübten Spannkraft belastet und nicht entlastet wird.The wedge surface formed on the attachment portion of the stop element according to the invention is, of course, in each case oriented such that the wedging of the stop element to the respective attachment means provided according to the invention is achieved. That is, the respective effective wedge surface is aligned so that as a result of one of the triggered by the respective holding forces eventual movement of the stop element, the fastening means is loaded in the direction of the clamping force exerted by it and not relieved.

Um die Montage eines erfindungsgemäßen Anschlagelements im Hinblick auf die derart ordnungsgemäße Ausrichtung der Keilfläche zu vereinfachen, sieht eine weitere Ausgestaltung der Erfindung vor, dass mindestens ein Paar von Keilflächen vorhanden ist, von denen die Ebene der einen Keilfläche gegenläufig zur Ebene der anderen Keilfläche unter einem spitzen Winkel bezogen auf die Längsachse der Öffnung ausgerichtet ist. Auf diese Weise steht unabhängig von der jeweiligen Anordnung des Anschlagelements an dem Befestigungsabschnitt immer eine Keilfläche zur Verfügung, über die unter Wirkung der jeweils längs der Öffnung des Befestigungsschnitts ausgerichteten Anteils der Hebekräfte das Anschlagelement gegen das jeweilige Befestigungsmittel verspannt wird. Im Hinblick auf die gleichmäßige Belastung des Befestigungsabschnitts kann es sich auch in diesem Zusammenhang als zweckmäßig erweisen, dass sich jeweils ein Paar von gegenläufig ausgerichteten Keilflächen entlang jeder der Längsseiten der Öffnung erstreckt. Um dabei unabhängig von der jeweiligen Ausrichtung der Keilflächen jedes Keilflächenpaares dieselbe Keilwirkung zu erreichen, ist es günstig, wenn die Ebenen der Keilflächen des jeweiligen Paares von Keilflächen sich unter einem betragsmäßig gleichen Winkel die Längsachse der Öffnung schneiden.In order to simplify the assembly of a stop element according to the invention with respect to the proper orientation of the wedge surface, a further embodiment of the invention provides that at least one pair of wedge surfaces is present, of which the plane of the one wedge surface opposite to the plane of the other wedge surface under a acute angle relative to the longitudinal axis of the opening is aligned. In this way, regardless of the respective arrangement of the stop element at the attachment portion always a wedge surface is available over which under the action of each aligned along the opening of the attachment section portion of the lifting forces the stop element is clamped against the respective fastening means. In view of the uniform loading of the fastening portion, it may also be useful in this context for a pair of oppositely oriented wedge surfaces to extend along each of the longitudinal sides of the opening. In order to achieve the same wedge effect regardless of the respective orientation of the wedge surfaces of each wedge surface pair, it is advantageous if the planes of the wedge surfaces of the respective pair of wedge surfaces intersect the longitudinal axis of the opening at a same angle.

Sind zwei Paare von jeweils gegenläufigen Keilflächen pro Befestigungsabschnitt vorgesehen, so kann die gleichmäßige Belastung des jeweiligen Befestigungsmittels auch dadurch unterstützt werden, dass die dem jeweiligen Längsrand der Öffnung des Befestigungsabschnitts zugeordneten Keilflächen in dieselbe Richtung geneigt verlaufen. In diesem Fall sind die an dem jeweiligen Befestigungsabschnitt vorhandenen, in dieselbe Richtung geneigten Keilflächen jeweils spiegelsymmetrisch zur Längsachse der Öffnung des Befestigungsabschnitts angeordnet.If two pairs of opposing wedge surfaces per attachment section are provided, the uniform loading of the respective attachment means can also be assisted by the wedge surfaces associated with the respective longitudinal edge of the opening of the attachment section being inclined in the same direction. In this case, those at the respective Fixing portion existing, inclined in the same direction wedge surfaces each arranged mirror-symmetrically to the longitudinal axis of the opening of the attachment portion.

Im Fall, dass bei einer erfindungsgemäßen Kombination aus Anschlagelement und Befestigungsmittel das Befestigungsmittel ein Adapterstück aufweist und an dem Befestigungsabschnitt des Anschlagelements zwei Paare von gegenläufigen Keilflächen vorhanden sind, kann die Abstützung des Spannmittels auf den Keilflächen des Befestigungsabschnitts dadurch besonders gut gesichert werden, dass das Adapterstück mindestens zwei Vorsprünge aufweist, an denen jeweils eine Keilfläche ausgebildet ist, die jeweils einer der in dieselbe Richtung geneigten Keilflächen des Befestigungsabschnitts zugeordnet ist. In diesem Fall ist also das Adapterstück immer auf zwei gleich geneigten Keilflächen des Befestigungsabschnitts abgestützt. Sollen die beiden jeweils in die andere Richtung geneigten Keilflächen genutzt werden, so kann dazu ein entsprechend angepasstes zweites Adapterstück genutzt werden.In the case that in a combination of stopper element and fastening means according to the invention, the fastening means comprises an adapter piece and two pairs of opposing wedge surfaces are present on the attachment portion of the stop element, the support of the clamping means on the wedge surfaces of the attachment portion can be particularly well secured that the adapter piece Has at least two projections, on each of which a wedge surface is formed, which is associated with each one of the inclined in the same direction wedge surfaces of the mounting portion. In this case, therefore, the adapter piece is always supported on two equally inclined wedge surfaces of the mounting portion. If the two wedge surfaces inclined in the other direction are to be used, a correspondingly adapted second adapter piece can be used for this purpose.

Alternativ kann das Adapterstück auch so ausgebildet sein, dass es durch Umsetzen um seine Längsachse auf den in die eine oder andere Richtung gerichteten Keilflächen abgestützt ist. Im Fall, dass die in dieselbe Richtung gerichteten Keilflächen des Befestigungsabschnitts spiegelsymmetrisch zur Längsachse seiner Öffnung angeordnet sind, kann dazu das Adapterstück ein Paar von Keilflächen aufweisen, die entsprechend den entfernt von den Längsseiten der Öffnung des zugeordneten Befestigungsabschnitts angeordnet sind, und ein Paar von zwischen dem ersten Paar angeordneten Keilflächen, die den benachbart zu den Längsrändern der Öffnung des Befestigungsabschnitts und quer zu den Keilflächen des ersten Paares von Keilflächen angeordnet sind. Die freie Beweglichkeit des Adapterstücks kann dabei dadurch gesichert werden, dass die Länge des zweiten Paares von Keilflächen so bemessen ist, dass die Keilflächen dieses Paares bei einer Ausrichtung quer zur Längsachse der Öffnung des Befestigungsabschnitts mit Spiel durch die Öffnung längs deren Längsachse bewegbar sind. Auf diese Weise kann mit einem Adapterstück oder einem entsprechend ausgebildeten einstückigen Befestigungsmittel die Anpassung an die jeweilige Befestigungssituation ohne Wechsel des Befestigungsmittels durchgeführt werden. Dabei sind auf das Spannelement des Befestigungsmittels wirkende Querkräfte weitestgehend minimiert.Alternatively, the adapter piece can also be designed so that it is supported by moving about its longitudinal axis on the directed in one or the other direction wedge surfaces. In the case that the wedge surfaces of the attachment portion directed in the same direction are arranged mirror-symmetrically with respect to the longitudinal axis of its opening, the adapter piece may for this purpose have a pair of wedge surfaces corresponding to those located away from the longitudinal sides of the opening of the associated attachment portion and a pair of between the first pair of spaced wedge surfaces located adjacent to the longitudinal edges of the opening of the attachment portion and across the wedge surfaces of the first pair of wedge surfaces. The free mobility of the adapter piece can be secured by the fact that the length of the second pair of wedge surfaces is dimensioned so that the wedge surfaces of this pair are movable with an orientation transverse to the longitudinal axis of the opening of the attachment portion with play through the opening along its longitudinal axis. In this way, the adaptation to the respective mounting situation without changing the fastener can be performed with an adapter piece or a correspondingly formed one-piece fastening means. In this case acting on the clamping element of the fastening means transverse forces are minimized as far as possible.

Alternativ zu einer spiegelsymmetrischen Anordnung können an dem Anschlagelement die Keilflächen der Keilflächenpaare des Befestigungsabschnitts auch so angeordnet werden, dass die dem jeweiligen Längsrand zugeordneten Keilflächen in entgegengesetzter Richtung geneigt verlaufen. In Bezug auf die erfindungsgemäße Kombination hat diese Ausgestaltung den Vorteil, dass durch einfaches Umsetzen um 180 ° um die Längsachse des Spannmittels der Adapter an die jeweilige Montagesituation angepasst werden kann, wenn in den Adapter eine den erforderlichen Versatz zulassende Langöffnung eingeformt bzw. bei einer einstückigen Ausbildung des Befestigungsmittels der mit den Keilflächen versehene Absatz bezogen auf die Längsachse des Spannmittels ausreichend außermittig angeordnet ist.As an alternative to a mirror-symmetrical arrangement, the wedge surfaces of the wedge surface pairs of the fastening section can also be arranged on the stop element in such a way that the wedge surfaces assigned to the respective longitudinal edge are inclined in the opposite direction. With regard to the combination according to the invention, this embodiment has the advantage that the adapter can be adapted to the respective mounting situation by simply translating 180 ° about the longitudinal axis of the clamping means if a long opening permitting the required offset is formed in the adapter or in one piece Formation of the fastener provided with the wedge-shaped paragraph based on the longitudinal axis of the clamping means is arranged sufficiently off-center.

Eine besonders einfache Gestaltung bei gleichzeitig besonders sicherer Funktion ergibt sich, wenn die Öffnung des Befestigungsabschnitts als Langloch mit parallel zueinander verlaufenden Längsseiten ausgebildet ist. Bei dieser Ausgestaltung können auch die Keilflächen in Draufsicht gesehen einen linearen Verlauf besitzen, so dass das jeweilige Befestigungsmittel problemlos auf ihnen verschoben werden kann.A particularly simple design with a particularly reliable function is obtained when the opening of the fastening portion is formed as a slot with parallel longitudinal sides. In this embodiment, the wedge surfaces seen in plan view may have a linear course, so that the respective fastening means can be easily moved on them.

Das einstückig beispielsweise als Schmiedeteil hergestellte Anschlagelement 1 weist einen halbbogenförmig ausgebildeten Anschlagabschnitt 2 auf, an dessen Enden jeweils ein in radialer Richtung von dem Anschlagabschnitt 2 abstehender, im Wesentlichen quaderförmiger Befestigungsabschnitt 3,4 angeformt ist.The stop element 1 produced in one piece, for example, as a forged part has a semi-arcuate stop section 2, at the ends of which in each case a substantially parallelepiped-shaped fastening section 3, 3 protruding in the radial direction from the stop section 2 is formed.

Die Längsachsen L3,L4 der Befestigungsabschnitte 3,4 sind bei der hier nur beispielhaft dargestellten Ausführung fluchtend zueinander ausgerichtet, so dass das Anschlagelement 1 in Draufsicht (Fig. 2) gesehen eine langgestreckte Gestalt besitzt.The longitudinal axes L3, L4 of the fastening sections 3, 4 are aligned in alignment with each other in the embodiment shown here by way of example only, so that the stop element 1 is in plan view (FIG. Fig. 2 seen) has an elongated shape.

Genauso könnten die Befestigungsabschnitte 3,4, jedoch auch in Draufsicht gesehen winklig zum Anschlagabschnitt 2 ausgerichtet sein, so dass sich ihre Längsachsen L3,L4 unter einem spitzen Winkel schneiden. Eine solche Anordnung kann beispielsweise dann zweckmäßig sein, wenn das jeweilige Anschlagelement an einem kreisrunden Flansch mit vergleichbar kleinem Durchmesser befestigt werden soll. Ebenso könnten die Befestigungsabschnitte bogenförmig gekrümmt ausgebildet sein, wenn dies im Hinblick auf die jeweilige Montagesituation passend ist.In the same way, the fastening sections 3, 4, but also in plan view, could be aligned at an angle to the stop section 2, so that their longitudinal axes L3, L4 intersect at an acute angle. Such an arrangement may be useful, for example, when the respective stop element is to be attached to a circular flange with a comparatively small diameter. Likewise, the attachment portions could be arcuately curved, if this is suitable in view of the respective mounting situation.

In jeden der Befestigungsabschnitte 3,4 ist eine als Langloch mit parallel verlaufenden Längsrändern 5,6 ausgebildete längliche Öffnung 7,8 eingeformt, deren Längsachse mit der Längsachse L3,L4 der Befestigungsabschnitte zusammenfällt.In each of the attachment portions 3,4 is formed as a slot with parallel longitudinal edges 5,6 formed elongated opening 7,8, the longitudinal axis coincides with the longitudinal axis L3, L4 of the mounting portions.

Zusätzlich sind von der Oberseite 9 der Befestigungsabschnitte 3,4 her jeweils Paare 10,11 und 12,13 von Keilflächen 14a,14b;15a,15b;16a,16b;17a,17b eingeformt. Die in Draufsicht jeweils parallel zur Längsachse L3,L4 der Befestigungsabschnitte 3,4 verlaufenden Keilflächen 14a,14b; 15a,15b; 16a,16b; 17a,17b jedes Keilflächenpaars 10,11;12,13 sind dabei gegenläufig geneigt zueinander ausgerichtet und jeweils in jeweils einer Ebene E1,E2,E3,E4 angeordnet, die die Längsachse L3,L4 des jeweiligen Befestigungsabschnitts 3,4 unter einem Winkel ß schneiden. Auf diese Weise steigen die jeweils an die Längsränder 5,6 der jeweiligen Öffnung 7,8 angrenzenden Keilflächen 14a,15a und 16a,17a in Richtung des jeweils dem Anschlagabschnitt 2 zugeordneten Endes 7a,8a der betreffenden Öffnung 7,8 an, während die jeweils beabstandet zum jeweiligen Längsrand 5,6 angeordneten Keilflächen 14b,15b und 16b,17b in dieser Richtung abfallen.In addition, pairs 10, 11 and 12, 13 of wedge surfaces 14a, 14b, 15a, 15b, 16a, 16b, 17a, 17b are formed from the upper side 9 of the fastening sections 3, 4b. The in plan view in each case parallel to the longitudinal axis L3, L4 of the mounting portions 3.4 extending wedge surfaces 14a, 14b; 15a, 15b; 16a, 16b; 17a, 17b of each wedge-surface pair 10, 11, 12, 13 are aligned with respect to each other in opposite directions and are each arranged in each case in a plane E1, E2, E3, E4, which are the longitudinal axis L3, L4 of the respective fastening section 3.4 cut at an angle ß. In this way, each of the longitudinal edges 5.6 of the respective opening 7.8 adjacent wedge surfaces 14a, 15a and 16a, 17a in the direction of each of the stopper portion 2 associated end 7a, 8a of the respective opening 7.8 rise while each spaced apart from the respective longitudinal edge 5,6 arranged wedge surfaces 14b, 15b and 16b, 17b in this direction.

Bei dem in den Figuren gezeigten Ausführungsbeispiel sind die auf der Unterseite der Befestigungsabschnitte 3,4 vorhandenen ebenen Aufstandflächen 18,19 parallel zu den Längsachsen L3,L4 ausgerichtet, so dass die Ebenen E1,E2,E3,E4 auch die gedachten Verlängerungen der Aufstandflächen 18,19 jeweils unter dem Winkel ß schneiden.In the exemplary embodiment shown in the figures, the planar contact surfaces 18, 19 present on the underside of the fastening sections 3, 4 are aligned parallel to the longitudinal axes L3, L4, so that the planes E1, E2, E3, E4 are also the imaginary extensions of the contact surfaces 18 , 19 each intersect at the angle ß.

Zum Verspannen des Anschlagelements 1 an einem hier nicht gezeigten Flansch sind Befestigungsmittel 20,21 vorgesehen. Die Befestigungsmittel 20,21 umfassen jeweils eine konventionelle Schraube 22,23 und einen Adapter 24,25.For bracing the stop element 1 on a flange, not shown here fastening means 20,21 are provided. The fastening means 20, 21 each comprise a conventional screw 22, 23 and an adapter 24, 25.

Die identisch geformten Adapter 24,25 weisen eine in Draufsicht (Fig. 2) rechteckige Form auf, deren Länge L bis auf ein geringes Untermaß dem Abstand zwischen den äußeren, von der jeweiligen Öffnung 7 bzw. 8 abgewandten Rändern der Keilflächen 14b,15b bzw. 16b,17b entspricht. Das Untermaß ist dabei so bemessen, dass die Adapterstücke 24,25 bei quer zur Längsachse L3,L4 ausgerichteter Länge L leicht durch die von den jeweiligen Keilflächenpaaren 10,11 bzw. 12,13 eingenommene Ausnehmung der Befestigungsabschnitte 3,4 bewegt werden können.The identically shaped adapters 24, 25 have a top view ( Fig. 2 ) Rectangular shape whose length L corresponds to a small undersize the distance between the outer, facing away from the respective opening 7 and 8 edges of the wedge surfaces 14b, 15b and 16b, 17b. The undersize is dimensioned such that the adapter pieces 24,25 in L aligned transversely to the longitudinal axis L3, L4 easily by the respective wedge surface pairs 10,11 and 12,13 occupied recess of the mounting portions 3.4 can be moved.

In entsprechender Weise entspricht die Breite B der Adapter 24,25 bis auf ein geringes Untermaß dem Abstand zwischen den den jeweils äußeren Keilflächen 14b,15b bzw. 16b,17b zugeordneten Rändern der innen liegenden, an die jeweilige Öffnung 7,8 angrenzenden Keilflächen 14a,15a bzw. 16a,17a. Das Untermaß ist in diesem Fall so bemessen, dass die Adapter 24,25 bei quer zur Längsachse L3,L4 ausgerichteter Breite B leicht durch den seitlich von den äußeren Keilflächen 14b,15b bzw. 16b,17b begrenzten Raum bewegt werden können.Correspondingly, the width B of the adapters 24, 25 corresponds, apart from a slight undersize, to the spacing between the edges of the inner wedge surfaces 14 a, which are adjacent to the respective opening 7, 8, and the edges 14 a, which are assigned to the respective outer wedge surfaces 14 b, 15 b or 16 b, 17 b. 15a or 16a, 17a. The undersize is dimensioned in this case so that the adapters 24,25 can easily be moved in the space bounded laterally by the outer wedge surfaces 14b, 15b or 16b, 17b when the width B is transverse to the longitudinal axis L3, L4.

Die Adapter 24,25 besitzen jeweils einen Zentralabschnitt 26, an dessen Oberseite eine ebene Auflagefläche 27 zum Abstützen des Kopfes der jeweiligen Schraube 22,23 vorhanden ist. Zusätzlich ist in den Zentralabschnitt 26 eine zentral angeordnete Durchgangsöffnung 28 eingeformt, durch die der Schaft der jeweiligen Schraube 22,23 geführt wird, um ihn durch die jeweils zugeordnete Öffnung 7,8 der Befestigungsabschnitte 3,4 zu stecken.The adapters 24, 25 each have a central section 26, on the upper side of which there is a flat bearing surface 27 for supporting the head of the respective screw 22, 23. In addition, a centrally arranged passage opening 28 is formed in the central portion 26, through which the shaft of the respective screw 22, 23 is guided in order to push it through the respective associated opening 7, 8 of the fastening sections 3, 4.

An die der Auflagefläche gegenüberliegenden Unterseite der Adapter 24,25 sind zwei Absätze 29,30 angeformt, die jeweils an Schmalseiten des jeweiligen Adapters 24,25 angrenzen und mittig in Bezug auf dessen Breite B angeordnet sind. Die Breite B' der Absätze 29,30 entspricht dabei bis auf ein geringes Untermaß der quer zur Längsachse L3,L4 gemessenen lichten Weite W der Öffnungen 7,8, so dass die Absätze 29,30, wenn sie quer zur Längsachse L3,L4 ausgerichtet sind, mit leichtem Spiel durch die Öffnungen 7,8 geschoben werden können.At the opposite side of the support surface bottom of the adapter 24,25 two paragraphs 29,30 are formed, each adjacent to narrow sides of the respective adapter 24,25 and are arranged centrally with respect to the width B. The width B 'of the paragraphs 29,30 corresponds to a slight undersize of the transversely to the longitudinal axis L3, L4 measured clear width W of the openings 7,8, so that the paragraphs 29,30, when aligned transversely to the longitudinal axis L3, L4 are, with a slight clearance through the openings 7,8 can be pushed.

An den freien Unterseiten der Absätze 29,30 ist jeweils eine in Richtung der Breite B geneigte Keilfläche 31,32 ausgebildet, deren gedachte Verlängerung mit der ebenen Auflagefläche 27 der Adapter 24,25 ebenfalls den Winkel ß einschließt.On the free undersides of the paragraphs 29,30 each one inclined in the direction of the width B wedge surface 31,32 is formed, the imaginary extension with the flat support surface 27 of the adapter 24,25 also includes the angle ß.

Gleichzeitig ist die in Längsrichtung der Adapter 24,25 gemessene Dicke D der Absätze 29,30 so bemessen, dass die lichte Weite zwischen den Absätzen 29,30 um ein geringes Übermaß größer ist als der Abstand zwischen den den jeweils äußeren Keilflächen 14b,15b bzw. 16b,17b zugeordneten Rändern der innen liegenden, an die jeweilige Öffnung 7,8 angrenzenden Keilflächen 14a,15a bzw. 16a,17a.At the same time, the thickness D of the shoulders 29, 30 measured in the longitudinal direction of the adapters 24, 25 is dimensioned so that the inside width between the shoulders 29, 30 is larger by a slight excess than the distance between the respective external wedge surfaces 14b, 15b and 15b 16b, 17b associated edges of the inner, adjacent to the respective opening 7,8 wedge surfaces 14a, 15a and 16a, 17a.

Darüber hinaus ist die Höhe H der Absätze 29,30 so gewählt, dass bei Erreichen des von dem Anschlagabschnitt 2 abgewandten Endes der äußeren Keilflächen 14b,15b bzw. 16b,17b auch dort ein für die freie Beweglichkeit der Adapter 24,25 ausreichender Abstand zwischen der Unterseite des Zentralabschnitts 26 und der innen liegenden, dort in Bezug auf die äußeren Keilflächen 14b,15b bzw. 16b,17b ihren höchsten Punkt erreichenden Keilflächen 14a,15a bzw. 16a,17a besteht. Auf diese Weise können die Adapter 24,25 bei quer zur Längsachse L3,L4 ausgerichteter Länge L mit ihren Absätzen 29,30 so auf die jeweils äußeren Keilflächen 14b,15b bzw. 16b,17b der Befestigungsabschnitte 3,4 aufgesetzt und auf ihnen verschoben werden, dass die Auflagefläche 27 im Wesentlichen parallel zur jeweiligen Aufstandfläche 18,19 geführt ist.In addition, the height H of paragraphs 29,30 is selected so that when reaching the end remote from the stop portion 2 end of the outer wedge surfaces 14b, 15b and 16b, 17b there is sufficient for the free mobility of the adapter 24,25 distance between the underside of the central portion 26 and the inner lying, there in relation to the outer wedge surfaces 14b, 15b and 16b, 17b reaching their highest point wedge surfaces 14a, 15a and 16a, 17a consists. In this way, the adapters 24,25 can be placed with transversely to the longitudinal axis L3, L4 aligned length L with their paragraphs 29,30 on the respective outer wedge surfaces 14b, 15b and 16b, 17b of the mounting portions 3.4 and moved onto them in that the bearing surface 27 is guided essentially parallel to the respective contact surface 18, 19.

Zusätzlich ist an der Unterseite der Adapter 24,25 ein in Bezug auf die Länge L der Adapter 24,25 mittig angeordneter, sich über die Breite B der Adapter 24,25 erstreckender Absatz 33 ausgebildet. Dessen in Längsrichtung gemessene Dicke D' entspricht dabei ebenfalls bis auf ein geringes Untermaß der quer zur Längsachse L3,L4 gemessenen lichten Weite W der Öffnungen 7,8, so dass die Absätze 29,30, wenn sie quer zur Längsachse L3,L4 ausgerichtet sind, mit leichtem Spiel durch die Öffnungen 7,8 geschoben werden können.In addition, at the bottom of the adapter 24,25 a with respect to the length L of the adapter 24,25 centrally arranged, over the width B of the adapter 24,25 extending paragraph 33 is formed. Its measured thickness in the longitudinal direction D 'also corresponds to a small undersize of the transversely to the longitudinal axis L3, L4 measured clear width W of the openings 7,8, so that the paragraphs 29,30, if they are aligned transversely to the longitudinal axis L3, L4 , with a slight clearance through the openings 7,8 can be pushed.

An der freien Unterseite des zentralen Absatzes 33 ist eine sich über die gesamte Breite B erstreckende, in Richtung der Länge L geneigte Keilfläche 34 ausgebildet, deren gedachte Verlängerung die Auflagefläche 26 ebenfalls unter dem Winkel ß schneidet. Auf diese Weise können die Adapter 24,25 bei quer zur Längsachse L3,L4 ausgerichteter Breite B mit ihrem Absatz 33 so auf die jeweils inneren Keilflächen 14a,15a bzw. 16a,17a der Befestigungsabschnitte 3,4 aufgesetzt und auf ihnen verschoben werden, dass die Auflagefläche 27 im Wesentlichen parallel zur jeweiligen Aufstandfläche 18,19 geführt ist.On the free underside of the central shoulder 33 a extending over the entire width B, in the direction of the length L inclined wedge surface 34 is formed, the imaginary extension of the support surface 26 also intersects at the angle ß. In this way, the adapters 24,25 can be placed on their respective wedge surfaces 14a, 15a and 16a, 17a of the fastening portions 3,4 and moved on them at transverse width to the longitudinal axis L3, L4 width B with her paragraph 33 so that the support surface 27 is guided substantially parallel to the respective contact surface 18,19.

Bei der Montage des Anschlagelements 1 an einem hier nicht gezeigten Flansch werden die Adapter 24,25 jeweils so ausgerichtet, dass sie jeweils auf denjenigen der Keilflächen 14a-17b abgestützt sind, die entgegen der Kraft K ansteigen, die unter Last zu einem Verschieben des Anschlagelements 1 relativ zu dem zu hebenden Gut führen würde. Ist die betreffende Kraft K, wie in Fig. 1 angedeutet, in Richtung des einen Befestigungsabschnitts 3 gerichtet, so ist der diesem Befestigungsabschnitt 3 zugeordnete Adapter 24 folglich auf den in Richtung des Anschlagabschnitts 2 ansteigenden inneren Keilflächen 14a,15a abgestützt, während der dem anderen Befestigungsabschnitt 4 zugeordnete Adapter 25 auf den äußeren, in der vom Anschlagabschnitt 2 weg gewandten Richtung ansteigenden Keilflächen 16b,17b sitzt. Auf diese Weise ist das Adapterelement 1 so gegen die Schrauben 22,23 der Befestigungsmittel 20 bzw. 21 verkeilt, dass jedes ungewollte Verrutschen des Anschlagelements 1 auch unter hoher Last sicher verhindert ist.When mounting the stop element 1 on a flange, not shown here, the adapters 24,25 are each aligned so that they are each supported on those of the wedge surfaces 14a-17b, which rise against the force K, which under load to a displacement of the stop element 1 would lead relative to the asset to be lifted. If the force in question is K, as in Fig. 1 indicated, directed in the direction of a fixing portion 3, so this is the attachment portion. 3 associated adapter 24 consequently supported on the rising in the direction of the stopper portion 2 inner wedge surfaces 14a, 15a, while the other attachment portion 4 associated adapter 25 on the outer, in the direction away from the stopper portion 2 direction wedge surfaces 16b, 17b sits. In this way, the adapter element 1 is wedged against the screws 22,23 of the fasteners 20 and 21, that any unwanted slipping of the stop element 1 is reliably prevented even under high load.
