Description

Die Erfindung betrifft einen Trapezverschluss für ein Trapez zum Kitesurfen, Windsurfen oder Segeln und einen Trapezgurt mit einem derartigen Trapezverschluss.The invention relates to a harness buckle for a harness for kitesurfing, windsurfing or sailing and a harness belt with such a harness buckle.

Derartige Trapezgurte können als Hüfttrapez oder als Sitztrapez ausgeführt sein und haben üblicher Weise einen Trapezhaken, der an einem Frontbügel oder einer Frontplatte befestigt ist. An dieser Frontplatte ist ein Hüftgurt mit einem gepolsterten Rückenteil angelascht, das im Bereich der Lendenwirbelsäule mit Pads/Verstärkungen oder dergleichen versehen ist. Da beispielsweise beim Kitesurfen die über den Kite eingeleiteten Kräfte relativ stark in Vertikalrichtung wirken, ist es insbesondere bei Hüfttrapezen wichtig, dass diese gut sitzen. Dementsprechend muss das Trapez relativ straff an den Körper angelegt werden, um ein Verrutschen zu verhindern. Um dieses Anlegen zu vereinfachen, haben Trapeze üblicherweise einen Trapezverschluss, bei dem ein karabinerartiges Element in eine Öse eingehängt wird, wobei durch verstellbare Gurte zwischen einer Hakenplatte bzw. dem Frontbügel und dem Rückenteil eine Anpassung an den Hüftumfang ermöglicht ist.Such harness belts can be designed as a waist harness or as a seat harness and usually have a harness hook that is attached to a front bracket or a front panel. A hip belt with a padded back part is attached to this front panel and is provided with pads/reinforcements or the like in the area of the lumbar spine. Since, for example, when kite surfing, the forces introduced via the kite act relatively strongly in the vertical direction, it is particularly important for waist harnesses that they fit well. Accordingly, the trapeze must be applied relatively tightly to the body to prevent it from slipping. In order to simplify this application, trapezoids usually have a trapezoid fastener in which a snap-hook element is hooked into an eyelet, with adjustable straps between a hook plate or the front bracket and the back part making it possible to adapt to the waist circumference.

Problematisch dabei ist, dass der Karabiner mit relativ viel Kraft in die Öse eingehängt werden muss, um das exakte Anliegen des Trapezes an der Hüfte zu gewährleisten. Insbesondere problematisch ist auch das Lösen dieses Verschlusses, da zum Lösen des Karabiners entsprechend eine Vorspannung aufgebracht werden muss, um den Karabiner aushängen zu können.The problem here is that the carabiner has to be hooked into the eyelet with a relatively large amount of force in order to ensure that the trapeze fits exactly on the hip. The release of this lock is also particularly problematic, since in order to release the carabiner, a corresponding pretension must be applied in order to be able to unhook the carabiner.

In der DE 20 2004 006 143 U1 ist eine Lösung erläutert, bei der der Karabinerhaken über eine Federlasche an der Öse gesichert ist und mittels einer Handhabe aus seiner Verriegelungsposition in eine Freigabeposition bringbar ist. Konkret kann diese Handhabe als Zuglasche ausgeführt sein, über die der Surfer eine vergleichsweise große Kraft zum Lösen aufbringen kann.In the DE 20 2004 006 143 U1 a solution is explained in which the snap hook is secured to the eyelet by a spring clip and can be brought out of its locking position into a release position by means of a handle. Specifically, this handle can be designed as a pull strap, via which the surfer can apply a comparatively large amount of force to release it.

Problematisch ist jedoch auch bei dieser Variante, dass das Einhängen des Karabiners in die Öse immer noch schwierig ist, da zum Schließen die Hand zwischen den Karabiner und den Körper gebracht werden muss, um die erforderliche Zugkraft aufbringen zu können.The problem with this variant, however, is that it is still difficult to hang the carabiner in the eyelet, since the hand has to be placed between the carabiner and the body in order to be able to apply the required pulling force.

Viele Surfer lockern daher zum Anziehen die Gurtbänder, hängen dann den Trapezverschluss ein und ziehen danach wieder die Gurtbänder fest - diese Vorgehensweise ist sehr umständlich.Many surfers therefore loosen the straps to put them on, then attach the trapeze buckle and then tighten the straps again - this procedure is very cumbersome.

In der EP 2 834 309 A2 der Anmelderin wird zur Überwindung dieses Nachteils ein Trapezgurt beschrieben, bei dem ein mit einem ring- oder ösenförmigen Rückhalteelement verbindbares Schließstück eines Trapezverschlusses als Schwenkhebel ausgeführt ist, der um eine Schwenkachse schwenkbar gelagert ist. Dieser Schwenkhebel hat an einem ersten Endabschnitt einen Einhängehaken und beabstandet dazu einen Schließhaken, wobei die Schwenkachse im Abstand zum Einhängehaken ausgebildet ist. Beim Anlegen des Trapezgurtes wird das Rückhalteelement zunächst in den Einhängehaken eingehängt, wobei dieser Einhängevorgang sehr einfach ist, da der Trapezgurt locker sitzt. Durch Verschwenken des Schwenkhebels in seine Schließposition gelangt der Schließhaken in Wirkeingriff mit dem Rückhalteelement, wobei durch dieses Verschwenken die Wirklänge des Trapezverschlusses und damit der Umfang des Trapezgurtes verkürzt wird, so dass der Trapezgurt straff in der gewünschten Weise sitzt.In the EP 2 834 309 A2 To overcome this disadvantage, the applicant describes a trapeze belt in which a locking piece of a trapeze lock that can be connected to a ring-shaped or eyelet-shaped retaining element is designed as a pivoted lever that is pivoted about a pivot axis. This pivoting lever has a suspension hook on a first end section and a locking hook at a distance therefrom, the pivot axis being formed at a distance from the suspension hook. When putting on the trapeze belt, the restraining element is first hooked into the hanging hook, this hanging process being very simple since the harness belt is loose. By pivoting the pivoting lever into its closed position, the locking hook comes into operative engagement with the retaining element, this pivoting shortening the effective length of the trapezoidal lock and thus the circumference of the harness strap, so that the trapezoidal strap sits tautly in the desired manner.

In der Praxis zeigte sich, dass ein derartiger Trapezgurt äußerst komfortabel anzulegen ist. Ein Nachteil aller beschriebener Lösungen besteht jedoch darin, dass die Anpassung des Trapezgurts an den Hüftumfang des jeweiligen Nutzers, der unter anderem vom Körperbau und von der getragenen Kleidung abhängt, umständlich ist, da der oben beschriebene Trapezverschluss üblicherweise beidseitig über zwei Gurtbänder mit dem eigentlichen Hüft- oder Sitztrapez - im Folgende Trapezgurt genannt - verbunden ist und die Längenverstellung dieser Gurtbänder über Gurtbandspanner erfolgt, die sehr umständlich zu bedienen sind und des Weiteren häufig in einer Tasche des Trapezgurts aufgenommen sind, und somit sehr schwierig zugänglich und zu betätigen sind.Practice has shown that such a harness is extremely easy to put on. A disadvantage of all the solutions described, however, is that the adjustment of the harness belt to the hip circumference of the respective user, which depends, among other things, on the physique and the clothing worn, is cumbersome, since the harness fastener described above is usually connected to the actual hip on both sides via two belt straps - Or seat harness - hereinafter referred to as the harness belt - is connected and the length adjustment of these straps is done via belt tensioners, which are very cumbersome to use and moreover are often accommodated in a pocket of the harness and are thus very difficult to access and operate.

In der US 6,293,215 B1 ist eine Frontplatte mit einem Trapezhaken offenbart, wobei an den Endabschnitten der Hakenplatte verrastete Verriegelungselemente angebracht sind, die mit verzahnten Gurten zusammenwirken, deren von der Hakenplatte entfernter Endabschnitt am Hüftgurt befestigt ist. Der Verzahnungseingriff lässt sich durch betätigen einer hakenplattenseitigen Entriegelung lösen.In the US 6,293,215 B1 discloses a front panel with a harness hook, with snapped locking elements attached to the end portions of the hook plate, which interact with toothed straps, the end portion of which remote from the hook plate is fastened to the waist strap. The interlocking engagement can be released by pressing a release on the hook plate.

Eine ähnliche Lösung ist in der DE 201 00 469 U1 offenbart. Ein weiteres Beispiel ist aus https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LqSmDhGhBo8 zu entnehmen.A similar solution is in the DE 201 00 469 U1 disclosed. Another example can be found at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LqSmDhGhBo8.

Nachteilig bei diesen Lösungen ist, dass das Anlegen relativ umständlich ist, da die Gurtbänder jedes Mal in den Verriegelungsmechanismus eingeführt werden müssen.The disadvantage of these solutions is that they are relatively difficult to put on, since the straps have to be inserted into the locking mechanism each time.

In der Druckschrift NL 102 95 15 C1 ist ein Trapezverschluss gezeigt, bei dem ein langer Schwenkhebel an der Hakenplatte bzw. einer den Trapezhaken tragenden Bar angelenkt ist und in Spanneingriff mit einem Endbeschlag bringbar ist, der über Gurte oder dergleichen mit dem eigentlichen Trapezgurt verbunden ist. Diese Lösung ist problematisch, da zum einen der Schwenkhebel einen erheblichen Bauraum und Schwenkbereich erfordert und zum anderen das Einhängen des Endbeschlags und das Verschwenken des Schwenkhebels eine gewisse Geschicklichkeit des Nutzers erfordert.In the pamphlet NL 102 95 15 C1 a trapeze lock is shown in which a long pivoting lever is articulated on the hook plate or a bar carrying the trapeze hook and can be brought into tightening engagement with an end fitting which is connected to the actual trapeze belt via belts or the like. This solution is problematic because, on the one hand, the pivoting lever requires a considerable installation space and pivoting range and, on the other hand, the hanging of the end fitting and the pivoting of the pivoting lever require a certain skill on the part of the user.

Dem gegenüber liegt der Erfindung die Aufgabe zugrunde, ein Trapezgurt mit verbesserter Handhabbarkeit zu schaffen.In contrast, the invention is based on the object of creating a trapeze belt with improved handling.

Diese Aufgabe wird durch einen Trapezverschluss mit den Merkmalen des Patentanspruchs 1 und einen Trapezgurt mit den Merkmalen des Patentanspruchs 11 gelöst.This object is achieved by a harness buckle with the features of patent claim 1 and a harness belt with the features of patent claim 11 .

Vorteilhafte Weiterbildungen der Erfindung sind Gegenstand der Unteransprüche.Advantageous developments of the invention are the subject matter of the dependent claims.

Der erfindungsgemäße Trapezverschluss hat zumindest einen Endbeschlag, der an den eigentlichen Trapezgurt mittels Gurten oder sonstigen Zugmitteln angekoppelt werden kann. Ein Schließstück des Trapezverschlusses kann in Spanneingriff mit einem an einer Hakenplatte oder dergleichen ausgebildeten Rückhalteelement gebracht werden, wobei dieses Schließstück mittels eine Schwenkhebelanordnung mit dem Endbeschlag derart verbunden ist, dass bei Betätigen der Schwenkhebelanordnung der Endbeschlag in Spannrichtung bewegbar oder verstellbar ist. Erfindungsgemäß erfolgt das Verspannen somit durch Verstellen des Endbeschlags und nicht, wie bei herkömmlichen Lösungen, durch hakenplattenseitige Spanneinrichtungen. Gemäß der Erfindung hat das Schließstück zumindest zwei etwa parallele, hakenförmige Klauen, die kraft- und formschlüssig in Eingriff mit dem Rückhalteelement bringbar sind. Dieser formschlüssige Eingriff erfolgt derart, dass während des Verspannens und auch im Gebrauch ein Kippen der Klauen mit Bezug zum Rückhalteelement im Wesentlichen verhindert werden kann.The trapeze lock according to the invention has at least one end fitting which can be coupled to the actual trapeze belt by means of belts or other traction means. A locking piece of the trapezoidal lock can be brought into tightening engagement with a retaining element formed on a hook plate or the like, this locking piece being connected to the end fitting by means of a pivoted lever arrangement in such a way that the end fitting can be moved or adjusted in the tightening direction when the pivoted lever arrangement is actuated. According to the invention, the tensioning is thus carried out by adjusting the end fitting and not, as in conventional solutions, by tensioning devices on the hook plate. According to the invention, the closing piece has at least two approximately parallel, hook-shaped claws which can be brought into engagement with the retaining element in a non-positive and positive manner. This form-fitting engagement takes place in such a way that tilting of the claws in relation to the retaining element can be essentially prevented during clamping and also during use.

Bei einem Ausführungsbeispiel der Erfindung sind diese Klauen aus Metall oder einem faserverstärkten Kunststoff gefertigt. Diese Klauen können an einer Klauenplatte ausgebildet sein, so dass das Schließstück durch die Klauen und die Klauenplatte gebildet sind.In one embodiment of the invention, these claws are made of metal or a fiber-reinforced plastic. These claws can be formed on a claw plate, so that the closing piece is formed by the claws and the claw plate.

Die Schwenkhebelanordnung hat gemäß der Erfindung eine am Schließstück mittels einer Anlenkung angelenkte Schwenkplatte, die ihrerseits im Abstand zur Anlenkung über ein Schwenkgelenk mit dem Endbeschlag verbunden ist. Durch Betätigen der Schwenkplatte kann dann die erforderliche Spannung auf den Trapezgurt aufgebracht werden.According to the invention, the pivoting lever arrangement has a pivoting plate which is articulated on the closing piece by means of an articulation and which in turn is connected to the end fitting at a distance from the articulation via a pivot joint. The required tension can then be applied to the trapeze belt by actuating the swivel plate.

Das Betätigen ist besonders einfach, wenn sich die Schwenkplatte über das Schwenkgelenk hinaus erstreckt, so dass mit Bezug zur Anlenkung ein vergleichsweise großer Hebelarm entsteht.Actuation is particularly easy if the swivel plate extends beyond the swivel joint, so that a comparatively large lever arm is created in relation to the linkage.

Bei einem bevorzugten Ausführungsbeispiel wird die Schwenkplatte zum Verspannen in eine Position in Richtung zum Schließstück verschwenkt, so dass die Klauen dann im Wesentlichen überdeckt sind und somit noch besser gegen ein Verdrehen/Lösen gesichert sind.In a preferred embodiment, the pivot plate is pivoted for clamping in a position towards the closing piece, so that the Claws are then essentially covered and are thus secured even better against twisting/loosening.

Die Funktionssicherheit lässt sich weiter verbessern, wenn die Schwenkplatte in dieser Schwenkposition verrastet ist.Functional reliability can be further improved if the swivel plate is locked in this swivel position.

Der formschlüssige Eingriff der zumindest einen hakenförmigen Klaue lässt sich beispielsweise dadurch erzielen, dass diese jeweils zumindest abschnittsweise passgenau in eine Tasche des Rückhalteelements eintaucht.The form-fitting engagement of the at least one hook-shaped claw can be achieved, for example, in that each of these dips into a pocket of the retaining element with a precise fit, at least in sections.

Dabei wird es besonders bevorzugt, wenn die Klaue einen hakenförmigen Endabschnitt und einen sich daran anschließenden Klauensteg hat, der in die Tasche eintaucht, so dass der Klauensteg quer zur Zugrichtung in der Tasche abgestützt ist.It is particularly preferred if the claw has a hook-shaped end section and an adjoining claw bar that dips into the pocket, so that the claw bar is supported in the pocket transversely to the pulling direction.

Bei einem Ausführungsbeispiel sind die beiden Klauen seitlich, das heißt quer zur Klauenstegerstreckung, versetzt, an einer Klauenplatte ausgebildet. Durch diese Weiterbildung ist die Positionierung des Schließstücks mit Bezug zum Rückhalteelement vereinfacht.In one embodiment, the two claws are offset laterally, that is to say transversely to the claw web extension, and are formed on a claw plate. This development simplifies the positioning of the closing piece in relation to the retaining element.

Auf diese Weise ist bereits vor dem Verschwenken der Schwenkplatte eine exakte Relativpositionierung des Schließstücks mit den beiden hakenförmigen Klauen mit Bezug zum Rückhalteelement gewährleistet.In this way, an exact relative positioning of the closing piece with the two hook-shaped claws in relation to the retaining element is ensured even before the pivoting plate is pivoted.

Eine besonders kompakte Lösung erhält man, wenn das Rückhalteelement und die Taschen in die Hakenplatte integriert sind.A particularly compact solution is obtained when the retaining element and the pockets are integrated into the hook plate.

Bei einem besonders einfach aufgebauten Ausführungsbeispiel ist das Rückhalteelement mit Bolzen ausgeführt, die jeweils in einer Tasche angeordnet sind.

Das im Folgenden beschriebene Trapez kann als Hüfttrapez oder Sitztrapez ausgeführt sein und ist zum Kitesurfen, Windsurfen oder Segeln geeignet. Bei den folgenden Ausführungen wird ein Hüfttrapez, im Folgenden Trapezgurt genannt, beschrieben. Dieser Trapezgurt 1 hat gemäß der in Figur 1 schematisch dargestellten Draufsicht einen Hüftgurt 2 mit einem Rückenteil 4, das beispielsweise eine Versteifung aufweist, um die Kräfte am Rückenbereich zu verteilen. Das Rückenteil 4 ist dabei an die Anatomie des Rückens angepasst oder anpassbar und geht in zwei Seitenteile 6, 8 über, die wesentlich elastischer als das Rückenteil 4 ausgeführt sind und den Rumpf des Nutzers seitlich umschließen. In Verlängerung der Seitenteile 6, 8 können bauchseitige Frontlaschen 10, 12 vorgesehen sein, die beim Anlegen des Trapezgurts 1 mittels eines Klettverschlusses verbunden werden.The trapeze described below can be designed as a waist harness or seat harness and is suitable for kitesurfing, windsurfing or sailing. In the following explanations, a waist harness, referred to below as a harness, is described. This harness belt 1 has according to in figure 1 schematically illustrated top view of a hip belt 2 with a back part 4, which has, for example, a reinforcement to distribute the forces on the back area. The back part 4 is adapted or adaptable to the anatomy of the back and goes into two side parts 6, 8 over, which are designed to be much more elastic than the back part 4 and enclose the torso of the user laterally. As an extension of the side parts 6, 8, front flaps 10, 12 on the stomach side can be provided, which are connected by means of a Velcro fastener when the harness belt 1 is put on.

Die beiden Seitenteile 6, 8 sind mit einer Front- oder Hakenplatte 14 mittelbar oder unmittelbar verbunden, die die beiden Frontlaschen 10, 12 überstreckt und an der ein Trapezhaken 16 befestigt ist. Beim dargestellten Ausführungsbeispiel ist die Hakenplatte 14 als Formstück aus Kunststoff ausgebildet, das flächig am Bauch anliegt. Prinzipiell kann die erfindungsgemäße Lösung jedoch auch mit einer herkömmlichen, metallischen Bar realisiert werden, an der der Trapezhaken 16 angeordnet ist.The two side parts 6, 8 are directly or indirectly connected to a front or hook plate 14, which stretches over the two front straps 10, 12 and on which a trapezoid hook 16 is attached. In the illustrated embodiment, the hook plate 14 is designed as a molded piece made of plastic that rests flat on the abdomen. In principle, however, the solution according to the invention can also be implemented with a conventional metal bar on which the trapeze hook 16 is arranged.

Die Verbindung der auswechselbaren Hakenplatte 14 mit den Seitenteilen 6, 8 erfolgt beispielsweise in herkömmlicher Weise über Gurtbänder 18, 20, die an Endbeschlägen 22, 24 reibschlüssig umgelenkt sind, so dass durch Verstellen dieser Gurtbänder 18, 20 eine Voreinstellung des Trapezgurts 1 erfolgen kann. Der in Figur 1 linke Endbeschlag 24 ist Teil eines Trapezverschlusses 26, über den der Endbeschlag 24 mit dem Gurtband 20 mit dem benachbarten Endabschnitt der Hakenplatte 14 verbunden ist. Wie im Folgenden erläutert, ist dieser Trapezverschluss 26 so ausgeführt, dass er zunächst ohne Vorspannung in die Hakenplatte 14 eingehängt und dann in eine Spannposition verbracht werden kann, in der der zugeordnete Endbeschlag 24 in Spannrichtung, d. h., hin zur Hakenplatte 14 bewegt/verstellt wird.The exchangeable hook plate 14 is connected to the side parts 6, 8, for example, in a conventional manner via belt straps 18, 20, which are deflected with frictional engagement at end fittings 22, 24, so that the trapeze belt 1 can be preset by adjusting these belt straps 18, 20. the inside figure 1 left end fitting 24 is part of a trapezoidal closure 26, via which the end fitting 24 is connected to the webbing 20 with the adjacent end section of the hook plate 14. As explained below, this trapezoidal lock 26 is designed in such a way that it can initially be hooked into the hook plate 14 without pretension and then brought into a tensioned position in which the associated end fitting 24 can be moved/adjusted in the tensioning direction, i.e. towards the hook plate 14 .

Figur 2 zeigt eine Vorderansicht des in Figur 1 linken Endabschnitts der Hakenplatte 14. Diese hat an ihrem in Figur 2 dargestellten Endabschnitt zwei Taschen 28, 30, in die der Trapezverschluss 26 mit zwei im Folgenden noch näher erläuterten hakenförmigen Klauen 32, 34 eintaucht und dabei beispielsweise als Bolzen 35 ausgebildete Rückhalteelemente umgreift. In der Darstellung gemäß Figur 2 ist nur einer der Bolzen 35 sichtbar. Diese Bolzen 35 durchsetzen die Taschen 28, 30 quer zur Längserstreckung der Taschen 28, 30. Wie im Folgenden noch näher erläutert, ist am Trapezverschluss 26 der Endbeschlag 24 angelenkt, an dem dann die Gurte durchgeschlauft werden. In Figur 2 ist der Trapezverschluss 26 in seiner Schließposition gezeigt, in der die Klauen 32, 36 und die diese aufnehmenden Taschen 28, 30 zumindest abschnittsweise von einer Schwenkplatte 36 überdeckt wird. In dieser Spann-/Schließposition des Trapezverschlusses 26 sind die Gurtbänder 18, 20 mit der maximalen Zugkraft beaufschlagt, die einen perfekten Sitz des Trapezgurts 1 gewährleisten. figure 2 shows a front view of the in figure 1 left end portion of the hook plate 14. This has at its in figure 2 The end section shown has two pockets 28, 30, into which the trapezoidal closure 26 with two hook-shaped claws 32, 34, which will be explained in more detail below, dips and thereby encompasses retaining elements designed as bolts 35, for example. In the representation according to figure 2 only one of the bolts 35 is visible. These bolts 35 pass through the pockets 28, 30 transversely to the longitudinal extent of the pockets 28, 30. As will be explained in more detail below, the end fitting 24 is articulated on the trapezoid closure 26, and the straps are then looped through the end fitting. In figure 2 the trapezoidal closure 26 is shown in its closed position, in which the claws 32, 36 and the pockets receiving them 28, 30 is covered at least in sections by a swivel plate 36. In this tightening/closing position of the trapeze lock 26, the belt straps 18, 20 are subjected to the maximum tensile force, which ensures that the trapeze belt 1 fits perfectly.

Figur 3 zeigt die Anordnung gemäß Figur 2 im entspannten Zustand. Dazu wird die Schwenkplatte 36 des Trapezverschlusses 26 weg von der Hakenplatte 14 verschwenkt. Wie im Folgenden noch näher erläutert, ist der Endbeschlag 24 an der Schwenkplatte 36 angelenkt, so dass entsprechend auch der Endbeschlag 24 in Entspannungsrichtung bewegt wird - mit anderen Worten gesagt, durch das Öffnen des Trapezverschlusses 26 in der in Figur 3 dargestellten Weise wird die lichte Weite des Trapezgurts 1 vergrößert, so dass der Trapezverschluss 26 aus der Hakenplatte 14 ausgehakt werden kann. In der in Figur 3 dargestellten Schwenkstellung der Schwenkplatte 36 sind die beiden hakenförmigen Klauen 32, 34 sichtbar, die passgenau in die Taschen 28, 30 eintauchen und dabei die Bolzen 35 umgreifen. figure 3 shows the arrangement according to figure 2 in the relaxed state. For this purpose, the pivoting plate 36 of the trapezoidal lock 26 is pivoted away from the hook plate 14 . As explained in more detail below, the end fitting 24 is articulated on the pivoting plate 36, so that the end fitting 24 is also moved in the relaxation direction accordingly - in other words, by opening the trapezoidal lock 26 in the figure 3 In the way shown, the clear width of the trapeze belt 1 is increased so that the trapeze lock 26 can be unhooked from the hook plate 14 . in the in figure 3 In the illustrated pivoting position of the pivoting plate 36, the two hook-shaped claws 32, 34 can be seen, which dip into the pockets 28, 30 with a precise fit and thereby engage around the bolts 35.

Wie erwähnt, können die Klauen 32, 34 aufgrund des entspannten Trapezverschlusses 26 dann praktisch ohne Kraftanwendung ausgehakt werden, so dass der Wirkeingriff mit den Bolzen 35 aufgehoben ist. Die Breite B der Taschen 28, 30 entspricht in etwa der Breite der Klauen 32, 34, so dass diese an den Umfangswandungen der Taschen 28, 30 anliegen und somit ein Kippen der beiden Klauen 32, 34 mit Bezug zur Hakenplatte 14 ausgeschlossen wird. Dies ist insbesondere bei Trapezverschlüssen mit einem einzigen hakenförmigen Schließstück ein Problem, das den Tragekomfort bei hohen seitlichen Belastungen mindert. Dieser Nachteil ist durch die erfindungsgemäße Lösung ausgeräumt.As mentioned, the claws 32, 34 can then be unhooked practically without the application of force due to the relaxed trapezoidal lock 26, so that the operative engagement with the bolts 35 is eliminated. The width B of the pockets 28, 30 corresponds approximately to the width of the claws 32, 34, so that these lie against the peripheral walls of the pockets 28, 30 and thus the two claws 32, 34 cannot tilt in relation to the hook plate 14. This is a problem, particularly in the case of trapezoidal closures with a single hook-shaped closing piece, which reduces the wearing comfort when there are high lateral loads. This disadvantage is eliminated by the solution according to the invention.

Figur 4 zeigt den Trapezverschluss 26 in einer Einzeldarstellung, wobei der Trapezverschluss 26 geöffnet/entspannt ist. Man erkennt in der Darstellung gemäß Figur 4 die beiden etwa parallel verlaufenden Klauen 32, 34, die im Prinzip jeweils aus einem hakenförmigen Endabschnitt 38, 40 bestehen, die über Klauenstege 42, 44 mit einer Klauenplatte (siehe auch Figur 3) 46 verbunden sind. An der Klauenplatte 46 sind zwei Gelenklaschen 48, 50 (letztere ist in Figur 2 zu sehen) rechtwinklig nach oben (Ansicht nach Figur 4) mit Bezug zur Schwenkplatte 36 aufgebogen. An diesen Gelenklaschen 48, 50 ist dann über eine Anlenkung 52 die Schwenkplatte 36 angelenkt. Diese hat im Abstand zur Anlenkung 52 ein Schwenkgelenk 54, über das der Endbeschlag 24 schwenkbar mit der Schwenkplatte 36 verbunden ist. Aus der Darstellung gemäß Figur 4 erkennt man, das beim Verschwenken der Schwenkplatte 36 hin zu den Klauen 32, 34 der Endbeschlag 24 in Richtung zu den Klauen 32, 34 mitgenommen wird, so dass die vorbeschriebene Spannung auf die Gurtbänder 18, 20 aufgebracht wird. Zur Verbesserung der Hebelübersetzung ist die Schwenkplatte 36 über das Schwenkgelenk 54 hinaus zu einer Handhabe 56 verlängert. figure 4 shows the trapezoidal fastener 26 in an individual representation, with the trapezoidal fastener 26 being opened/relaxed. It can be seen in the representation according to figure 4 the two approximately parallel claws 32, 34, which in principle each consist of a hook-shaped end section 38, 40, which are connected via claw webs 42, 44 to a claw plate (see also figure 3 ) 46 are connected. On the claw plate 46 there are two joint straps 48, 50 (the latter is shown in figure 2 to see) perpendicularly upwards (view after figure 4 ) with respect to the pivot plate 36 is bent. at these Joint plates 48, 50 are then articulated via an articulation 52, the pivot plate 36. This has a pivot joint 54 at a distance from the linkage 52, via which the end fitting 24 is pivotably connected to the pivot plate 36. According to the illustration figure 4 It can be seen that when pivoting plate 36 is pivoted toward claws 32, 34, end fitting 24 is entrained toward claws 32, 34, so that the tension described above is applied to straps 18, 20. In order to improve the leverage, the swivel plate 36 is lengthened beyond the swivel joint 54 to form a handle 56 .

Figur 5 zeigt eine Ansicht des Trapezverschlusses 26 gemäß Figur 3, in der die beiden Klauen 32, 34 vorneliegend angeordnet sind. Die beiden Klauen 32, 34 sind über die beiden Klauenstege 42, 44 mit der Klauenplatte 46 verbunden, an der die beiden um 90° abgewinkelten Gelenklaschen 48, 50 ausgebildet sind. Bei dem dargestellten Ausführungsbeispiel sind die beiden Klauen 32, 34 in Zugrichtung gesehen nicht symmetrisch, sondern leicht seitlich versetzt an der Klauenplatte 46 angeordnet, so dass die Klaue 34, bzw. deren Klauensteg 44 etwa in Verlängerung einer Seitenkante 51 der Klauenplatte 46 verläuft, während die andere Klaue 32, bzw. deren Klauensteg 42 im Abstand zu einer Seitenkante 53 der Klauenplatte 46 verläuft, die etwa parallel zur Seitenkante 51 angeordnet ist. Diese beiden Gelenklaschen 48, 50 werden von zwei Seitenwangen 58, 60 der Schwenkplatte 36 umgriffen, wobei im Überlappungsbereich die strichpunktiert angedeutete Anlenkung 52 ausgebildet ist. In der Darstellung gemäß Figur 5 sieht man auch das Schwenkgelenk 54, über das die Schwenkplatte 36 gelenkig mit dem Endbeschlag 24 verbunden ist. Diese Anbindung erfolgt im Abstand zu Anlenkung 52 ebenfalls im Bereich der Seitenwangen 58, 60, wobei in der Breite verringerte Endbeschlagabschnitte 62 (nur einer in Figur 5 mit einem Bezugszeichen versehen) in den Bereich zwischen den beiden Seitenwangen 58, 60 eintauchen und dort über das Schwenkgelenk 54 mit der Schwenkplatte 36 verbunden ist. Die Handhabe 56 erstreckt sich in der Darstellung gemäß Figur 5 nach oben über das Schwenkgelenk 54 hinaus. figure 5 shows a view of the trapezoidal closure 26 according to FIG figure 3 , In which the two claws 32, 34 are arranged in front. The two claws 32, 34 are connected via the two claw webs 42, 44 to the claw plate 46, on which the two articulated brackets 48, 50 angled by 90° are formed. In the illustrated embodiment, the two claws 32, 34 are not symmetrical when viewed in the direction of pull, but are arranged slightly laterally offset on the claw plate 46, so that the claw 34 or its claw web 44 runs approximately in the extension of a side edge 51 of the claw plate 46, while the other claw 32 or its claw web 42 runs at a distance from a side edge 53 of the claw plate 46 which is arranged approximately parallel to the side edge 51 . These two joint brackets 48, 50 are encompassed by two side cheeks 58, 60 of the pivoting plate 36, the linkage 52 indicated by dot-dash lines being formed in the overlapping area. In the representation according to figure 5 one can also see the swivel joint 54, via which the swivel plate 36 is connected to the end fitting 24 in an articulated manner. This connection takes place at a distance from linkage 52, also in the area of side panels 58, 60, with end fitting sections 62 that are reduced in width (only one in figure 5 provided with a reference number) into the area between the two side walls 58, 60 and is connected there via the pivot joint 54 to the pivot plate 36. The handle 56 extends as shown in FIG figure 5 upwardly beyond the pivot joint 54.

Figur 6 zeigt den Trapezverschluss 26 im geschlossenen Zustand, in dem die maximale Zugspannung über die Gurtbänder aufgebracht wird. In dieser Schließ- oder Spannstellung ist die Schwenkplatte 36 in der Darstellung gemäß Figur 6 nach rechts, hin zu den Klauen 32, 34 verschwenkt, wobei der Endbeschlag 24 in etwa in Umfangsrichtung des Trapezgurt 1 fluchtend zur Schwenkplatte 36 angeordnet ist. In der Darstellung gemäß Figur 6 sieht man deutlich die beiden in die Seitenwangen 58, 60 eintauchenden Gelenklaschen 48, 50 die über geeignete Gelenkachsen, beispielsweise über in die Seitenwangen 58, 60 eingesetzte Bolzen gelenkig miteinander verbunden sind. figure 6 shows the trapezoidal closure 26 in the closed state, in which the maximum tensile stress is applied via the straps. In this closed or clamped position, the pivoting plate 36 is shown in FIG figure 6 To the right, pivoted toward the claws 32, 34, with the end fitting 24 being arranged in alignment with the pivot plate 36 approximately in the circumferential direction of the trapeze belt 1. In the representation according to figure 6 one can clearly see the two joint brackets 48, 50 dipping into the side walls 58, 60, which are connected to one another in an articulated manner via suitable joint axes, for example by means of bolts inserted into the side walls 58, 60.

Ein Schwenkgelenk, über das der Endbeschlag 24 mit der Schwenkplatte 36 verbunden ist, ist bei dem in Figur 6 dargestellten Ausführungsbeispiel derart ausgebildet, dass Gelenkstege 64 am Endbeschlag 24 einerseits und Gelenkstege 66 an der Schwenkplatte 36 andererseits wechselseitig ineinandergreifen, so dass das Schwenkgelenk mit einer großen Stabilität ausgeführt ist und gewährleistet ist, dass die Zugkraft in der vorbestimmten Weise ohne Verwindung der Bauteile übertragen wird.A swivel joint, via which the end fitting 24 is connected to the swivel plate 36, is shown in FIG figure 6 The exemplary embodiment illustrated is designed in such a way that articulated webs 64 on the end fitting 24 on the one hand and articulated webs 66 on the swivel plate 36 on the other hand interlock alternately, so that the swivel joint is designed with great stability and it is ensured that the tensile force is transmitted in the predetermined manner without twisting the components .

Figur 7 zeigt ein Ausführungsbeispiel, bei dem der gesamte Trapezverschluss 26 mit den Klauen 32, 34 der Klauenplatte 46, der daran angelenkten Schwenkplatte 36 und den seinerseits gelenkig mit der Schwenkplatte 36 verbundenen Endbeschlag 24 aus faserverstärktem Kunststoff hergestellt sind, so dass die Herstellkosten geringer als beim vorbeschriebenen Ausführungsbeispiel sind. Diese faserverstärkten Kunststoffe gewährleisten jedoch, dass die auftretenden Zugkräfte ohne jede unerwünschte Deformation/Elastizität übertragen werden. figure 7 shows an exemplary embodiment in which the entire trapezoidal lock 26 with the claws 32, 34 of the claw plate 46, the pivot plate 36 articulated thereon and the end fitting 24 articulated to the pivot plate 36 are made of fiber-reinforced plastic, so that the manufacturing costs are lower than in the case described above embodiment are. However, these fiber-reinforced plastics ensure that the tensile forces that occur are transmitted without any unwanted deformation/elasticity.
