Abstract

Die Erfindung betrifft ein textiles Hebeband (1) ganz oder teilweise aus Kunstfasern mit einem Versteifungsabschnitt (2) zum Handhaben, insbesondere zum Transportieren von Lasten.The invention relates to a textile lifting strap (1) made entirely or partially of synthetic fibers with a stiffening section (2) for handling, in particular for transporting loads.

Description

Die Erfindung betrifft ein textiles Hebeband ganz oder teilweise aus Kunstfasern mit einem Versteifungsabschnitt zum Handhaben, insbesondere zum Transportieren von Lasten, wie beispielhaft Rohre oder langgestreckte Metallprofile. Auf dem Versteifungsabschnitt ruht bei der Handhabung die Last. Dabei kommen häufig Hebebänder mit Versteifungselementen aus Blechen oder Stahlrohr zum Einsatz. In ein zweilagiges Hebeband wird eine Lage in Form eines Metallblechs oder eines Rohres eingefügt und beide werden miteinander vernäht, vergossen oder verklebt.The invention relates to a textile lifting belt wholly or partly made of synthetic fibers with a stiffening portion for handling, in particular for transporting loads, such as pipes or elongated metal profiles. The load rests on the stiffening section during handling. Here, hoisting belts with stiffening elements made of sheet metal or steel pipe are frequently used. A layer in the form of a metal sheet or a tube is inserted into a two-layer lifting strap and both are sewn together, cast or glued together.

Als nachteilig erweist sich jedoch die vorbeschriebene Befestigung dieser Bauteile, die oftmals nur eingeschränkt gewährbar ist. So ist eine dauerhafte, insbesondere eine funktionssichere Verbindung zwischen dem textilen Hebeband aus Kunstfasern und Metallblechen oder Rohren aus Metall wegen der unterschiedlichen Materialeigenschaften relativ schwer gewährbar. Ebenfalls ist das höhere Gewicht des Hebebandes von Nachteil, welches durch die Versteifungselemente aus Blechen oder Stahlrohr hervorgerufen wird.However, the disadvantage is the above-described attachment of these components, which is often only limited allowable. Thus, a permanent, in particular a functionally reliable connection between the textile lifting belt made of synthetic fibers and metal sheets or metal pipes because of the different material properties is relatively difficult to afford. Also, the higher weight of the lifting band is disadvantageous, which is caused by the stiffening elements of sheets or steel tube.

Aus der EP 0970913 B1 ist ein Hebeband bekannt, das aus zwei Lagen gebildet wird, wobei die zwei Lagen eine Zwischenschicht aus flexiblem Kunststoffmaterial aufweisen.From the EP 0970913 B1 For example, a lifting band is known that is formed from two layers, the two layers having an intermediate layer of flexible plastic material.

Mangels ausreichender Steifigkeit kann eine derartige Lage jedoch nicht als Ersatz für die vorgenannten Versteifungselemente aus Metall fungieren.However, in the absence of sufficient rigidity, such a layer can not function as a substitute for the aforementioned metal stiffening elements.

Aufgabe der Erfindung ist es, ein Hebeband mit einem Versteifungsabschnitt bereitzustellen, bei dem das Gewicht optimiert und eine Verbindung von unterschiedlichen Schichten beziehungsweise Lagen verbessert wird.The object of the invention is to provide a lifting strap with a stiffening section, in which the weight is optimized and a connection of different layers or layers is improved.

Die Aufgabe wird durch die Merkmale des Hauptanspruchs 1 gelöst. Weitere Ausgestaltungen der Erfindung ergeben sich aus den Unteransprüchen. Das erfindungsgemäße Hebeband zum Handhaben, insbesondere zum Transportieren von Lasten weist dabei einen Versteifungsabschnitt auf. Der Versteifungsabschnitt besteht aus einem zweilagigen Bandabschnitt des Hebebandes. Zwischen den beiden so gebildeten Bandlagen ist eine biegesteife Zwischenschicht aus einem Kunststoff angeordnet und mit den beiden Bandlagen verbunden.The object is solved by the features of the main claim 1. Further embodiments of the invention will become apparent from the dependent claims. The lifting strap according to the invention for handling, in particular for transporting loads, has a stiffening section. The stiffening section consists of a two-ply band section of the lifting strap. Between the two tape layers thus formed, a rigid intermediate layer made of a plastic is arranged and connected to the two band layers.

Die biegesteife Zwischenschicht ist so beschaffen, dass bei der Handhabung die Last auf dem Versteifungsabschnitt ruhen kann, ohne dass sich der Versteifungsabschnitt in relevanter Weise verformt. Es soll sichergestellt werden, dass die Last bei ihrer Handhabung ihre bei Beginn eines Transports vorgegebene Position nicht unvorhergesehen verändert. Die Zwischenschicht ist dabei nicht flexibel.The rigid intermediate layer is such that during handling the load can rest on the stiffening section without the stiffening section deforming in a relevant manner. It is to be ensured that the load during its handling does not change its predetermined position at the beginning of a transport unforeseen. The intermediate layer is not flexible.

Als Kunststoff kommen alle solche in Betracht, welche die vorgenannten Eigenschaften, insbesondere die vorgenannte Steifigkeit gewähren können.As plastic, all those come into consideration, which can grant the aforementioned properties, in particular the aforementioned stiffness.

Die Zwischenschicht ist mit den beiden Bandlagen stoffschlüssig verbunden und beispielsweise verklebt.The intermediate layer is adhesively bonded to the two band layers and glued, for example.

Der zweilagige Bandabschnitt wird durch zwei Gewebegurte gebildet.The two-ply tape section is formed by two fabric straps.

In einer Ausgestaltung der Erfindung wird die Zwischenschicht durch ein Ausgießen eines Zwischenraums zwischen den beiden Bandlagen mit einem Kunststoff gebildet. Der Zwischenraum wird durch die beiden Bandlagen selbst gebildet und ist im Wesentlichen durch Kanten der Bandlagen seitlich begrenzt. Seitenflächen der Zwischenschicht können dabei bombiert ausgestaltet sein, um besser Kräfte aufzunehmen.In one embodiment of the invention, the intermediate layer is formed by pouring a gap between the two band layers with a plastic. The intermediate space is formed by the two band layers themselves and is bounded laterally by edges of the band layers. Side surfaces of the intermediate layer can be designed cambered to better absorb forces.

Ferner ist im Rahmen der Erfindung gelegen, dass zwischen den beiden Bandlagen ein starrer Versteifungskörper angeordnet ist, der bei dem Ausgießen des Zwischenraums zwischen den beiden Bandlagen von dem Kunststoff umschlossen wird und so innerhalb der Zwischenschicht angeordnet ist. Der Versteifungskörper selbst ist dabei ebenfalls aus Kunststoff oder einem Metall mit einem Gewicht, das dem der Zwischenschicht in etwa entspricht, gefertigt. So kann der Versteifungskörper auch aus Aluminium, Titan oder glasfaserverstärktem Kunststoff sein. Er kann auch ganz oder zumindest teilweise als Hohlkörper ausgebildet sein, um das Gewicht des Versteifungsabschnitts weiter zu reduzieren.Furthermore, it is within the scope of the invention that between the two band layers, a rigid stiffening body is arranged, which is enclosed in the pouring of the gap between the two band layers of the plastic and is disposed within the intermediate layer. The stiffening body itself is also made of plastic or a metal with a weight that corresponds approximately to the intermediate layer made. Thus, the stiffening body may also be made of aluminum, titanium or glass fiber reinforced plastic. It may also be wholly or at least partially formed as a hollow body in order to further reduce the weight of the stiffening section.

In weiterer Ausgestaltung ist der Versteifungskörper profiliert, um eine bessere Steifigkeit der Zwischenschicht zu gewähren.In a further embodiment, the stiffening body is profiled in order to provide a better rigidity of the intermediate layer.

Durch das erfindungsgemäße Hebeband wird ein solches mit einem Versteifungsabschnitt bereitgestellt, bei dem das Gewicht in Bezug zu bekannten Hebebändern, bei denen der Versteifungsabschnitt Metallbänder oder Metallrohre umfasst, optimiert ist.By means of the lifting strap according to the invention, such is provided with a stiffening section in which the weight is optimized in relation to known lifting straps in which the stiffening section comprises metal straps or metal tubes.

Dadurch, dass die Zwischenschicht wie das Hebeband aus einem Kunststoff gefertigt ist, wird die Verbindung von unterschiedlichen Schichten beziehungsweise Lagen verbessert. Im besonderen Maße ist dies optimiert bei einer stoffschlüssigen Verbindung.Because the intermediate layer, like the lifting strap, is made of a plastic, the connection of different layers or layers is improved. In particular, this is optimized for a cohesive connection.

Die Erfindung wird nachfolgend anhand eines Ausführungsbeispiels unter Bezugnahme auf die Figuren weiter erläutert. Dabei ergeben sich weitere Vorteile, Merkmale und Ausgestaltungen der Erfindung.The invention will be explained below with reference to an embodiment with reference to the figures. This results in further advantages, features and embodiments of the invention.
