Device for covering a bracket with (wire) rope

Abstract

Device (A) for at least partially covering a support, wherein the support is designed for the passage of a (wire) rope (DS), characterized in that the device is provided with at least one slot along its length, wherein the at least one slot is provided for the passage of the (wire) rope (DS).

Description

[0001] A device for covering (A) a bracket on a building, beam, or similar, which serves to attach a cable system according to the state of the art. The following parts are currently considered state of the art: (Angle) profile (WP) with a device for fastening a wire rope (DS), wherein the angle profile (WP) is preferably attached to a beam / square or polygonal profile or a building. The bracket is a fastening to a beam or A building component that is not subject to coverage because, for example, it is not corroded. A bracket for the angle profile (WP) is not required; the angle profile (WP) can also be attached directly to a beam or similar structure.

[0002] The rope can be made of metal (usually steel), natural or synthetic fiber, and other materials are possible.

[0003] The covers complying with the current state of the art according to Fig. 1 do not offer the possibility of removing a damaged cover from the system, regardless of the circumstances, without necessarily releasing the (tensioned) (wire) ropes (DS). Replacing such covers is only possible in an extremely laborious manner, for example, by releasing the (wire) rope (DS) under tension at at least one rope end. A cover cap (A) according to the invention, which can be opened due to its design, eliminates this problem. This allows damaged, outdated, or weathered covers to be replaced without involving the rope system itself in the replacement work.

[0004] The present invention provides the possibility of a simple and protective covering of the bracket and the adjacent (wire) cable (DS) connected to the bracket by means of a device (A) designed for this purpose. This allows for the replacement of damaged covering devices (A), thereby better protecting the bracket(s) and the (wire) cable (DS) from corrosion. Furthermore, depending on the nature of the cable, abrasion, dirt, or similar factors may impair functionality. For example, individual adjustment of a sunshade attached to the cable could become difficult or even impossible.

[0005] Fig. 2 shows the device (A) with a longitudinally provided slot (SZ) and as such represents a new feature compared to the prior art. Alternatively, the cover (A) can also be provided with two opposite and longitudinally provided slots (SZ) ( Fig. 3).

[0006] For all closure alternatives, it is irrelevant whether the variant is mounted laterally or centrally in relation to the length of the device (A). Likewise, the number of closure options is freely selectable. Fig. 3 to 7, the corresponding closure body is optimally mounted at or below the edge of the slot(s) (SZ). The term "slot" defines an elongated, narrow opening in the device (A) – which can be temporarily created by moving parts.

[0007] In Fig. 4 shows a closure with a vertical notch (KV) and a vertical pin (ZV). Fig. 5 the same closure but in horizontal form: horizontal notch (KH), which only serves as a “receiver” of the cover (A).

[0008] Fig. Figure 6 shows an example of a closure using a bracket with a hole (L) and a pin with a ball head (ZK), which can be vertically connected to the opening provided for this purpose (hole 'L'). The variant is shown both as a section and in a top view. Fig. 7 additionally shows the vertical variant, ie bracket with hole (LV) and pin with ball head (ZK).

[0009] Locking mechanism is used in Fig. 8. The cover is provided with a holding block (H) on one long side so that a connection can be achieved on the opposite side by means of a snap-in clamp (E).

[0010] Directly below the slot(s) of the cover (A) Fig. 9 a block (B left / right) is attached to the left and right, over which a clamp (KL) is attached for fastening or as a closure. In a variation of this variant, Fig. 10 the blocks or holders (H left / right) are provided with a notch (HK) in order to achieve a more stable closure by means of a clamp with grooves (KR left / right).

[0011] The Fig. Figure 11 shows a closure shape in a non-rounded variant (A). A multi-piece cover (A) comprises two non-rounded pieces with one side open toward the rope, which can be closed by attachment in one of the previously described variants, for example, using a plug-in connection (S). The cover can be attached either as an attachment or alternatively as a sliding device to a fastening device ('V'), for example, in the form of a bar.

[0012] The easy removal of old covers and installation of new ones means that even people with no experience in DIY can carry out cover replacements.

[0013] The material from which the covers (A) are made is largely optional, depending on the design variant. Plastic, metal, or wood are preferred. legend A Cover / Device B li / re Mounting block left / right DS (wire) rope E Snap-in clamp H Holding block HK bracket with notch (left / right) KH notch horizontal KKV ball head vertical KL bracket KR clamp with grooves (left / right) KV notch vertical L bracket with hole LV bracket with hole vertical OES opening for (wire) rope (DS) S plug connection (eyelets / bolts) SZ Schlitz V Device for fastening to beams or similar WP angle profile ZK pin with ball head ZV pin vertical
