Description

[0001] The invention relates to a fastening device for a trolley in a vehicle and a vehicle with a fastening device according to the invention.

[0002] For the purposes of this application, a trolley is understood to mean a transport device with a stable, i.e., essentially inflexible, body and a particularly extendable holding device with a handle. This device, however, does not necessarily have wheels that allow a user to pull the transport device using the holding device. The body can consist of a single volume for holding objects or several assembled or stacked volumes that are attached to one another.

[0003] Such transport devices are known, for example, from passenger transport and are used to transport clothing or other personal items for travel. Furthermore, so-called tool trolleys, which are more relevant to the present invention, are also known. These are transport devices of the type described above with a stable and rigid body made of plastic or metal, in which tools and other items necessary for manual work are transported. However, the invention is not limited to the use of a tool trolley, but can also be applied to other similar types of trolleys, such as sack trucks or the like.

[0004] Tool trolleys necessarily have to be transported a lot for professional use. For safety reasons, they require attachment to the vehicle when transported on the loading area of ​​a vehicle. This ensures that the trolley remains securely in place in the event of an accident and that no loose parts are thrown around in the vehicle and thus pose a potential danger to people inside. The trolleys are typically used by tradespeople and are transported in particular in so-called small vans with a total weight of less than 7.5 t. The invention therefore relates to load securing in such vehicles, for which there are clear specifications in several standards and guidelines that must be met for the vehicle to be approved for road traffic.In addition to the purely occupational safety aspect, the aspect of quality assurance must also be considered, as it is in a company's own interest to be able to deliver the items it transports to the customer undamaged. Inadequate load securing due to moving, especially freely moving, parts poses a high risk of damage of all kinds, which must be avoided.

[0005] According to the prior art, trolleys of the type described above are usually secured to the vehicle structure using tensioning and lashing straps attached to corresponding eyelets on the loading area of ​​a vehicle. For the purposes of this application, the term "vehicle structure" refers to elements of the vehicle that provide stability. In addition to the vehicle frame, this includes, in particular, struts in the body of the vehicle, particularly in the part of the body that defines the loading space. These elements of the vehicle structure are capable of absorbing force and thus represent the stable framework of the vehicle. Securing the trolley to the vehicle structure entails a great deal of effort in securing the trolley, but may also result in suboptimal use of space, as tensioning straps often have to be stretched across the loading area, which makes it difficult to accommodate additional items.In addition, it cannot be guaranteed as a standard that the load is secured sufficiently safely, since the success of load securing using tensioning straps always depends on the user's level of knowledge and motivation.

[0006] Furthermore, prior art document DE 20 2005 007 189 U1 discloses a locking device for releasably anchoring a tool trolley in the form of a roller carriage in a van. A bracket element attached to the trolley is connected to a counterpart provided on the wall of the van. Document DE 27 16 337 A1 discloses a fastening device for lashing roll containers to a wall using straps, which can be tensioned by a tensioning device.

[0007] It is therefore an object of the present invention to provide a fastening device for a trolley in a vehicle that is easy to operate, ensures optimal use of the loading area, and meets the requirements for load securing. It is also an object of the present invention to provide a vehicle with a fastening device according to the invention.

[0008] These objects are achieved by means of the subject matter according to the independent claims. Advantageous embodiments of the invention are contained in the subclaims.

[0009] The fastening device according to the invention for a trolley with a body and a handle in a vehicle has two guide elements which are arranged on a vehicle structure of the vehicle in such a way as to accommodate the trolley between them. Furthermore, the fastening device has at least one bracket which is arranged on at least one of the guide elements and is designed to fix the body of the trolley. Furthermore, a handle holder is provided which is arranged on the vehicle structure of the vehicle and is designed to receive and fix a handle of the trolley. According to the invention, the guide elements each have at least one stabilizing section which is designed to prevent movement of the trolley in a spatial direction, preferably in the longitudinal direction of the vehicle.In the context of the application, the three coordinate axes of the space are referred to as spatial directions, whereby one spatial direction points in the direction of travel of the vehicle and always runs horizontally, i.e. in the direction of the vehicle's longitudinal direction or longitudinal axis, one spatial direction runs in the horizontal transverse direction to the vehicle's longitudinal direction, i.e. in the direction of the vehicle's transverse axis, and one spatial direction runs perpendicular to the previously mentioned spatial directions in the vertical direction, i.e. in the direction of the vehicle's vertical axis.

[0010] By securing the trolley using the bar, handle holder, and stabilizing sections, sufficient fixation of the trolley can be ensured, allowing it to remain securely in place even during high accelerations, such as those caused by accidents, and preventing the trolley from becoming detached from the fastening device. Furthermore, the fastening device significantly simplifies securing the trolley compared to the state of the art.

[0011] In an advantageous embodiment of the invention, the bracket has a fixing section designed to engage in a fastening receptacle provided for this purpose and thus fix the trolley body. The fixing section can, for example, form a positive connection with the fastening receptacle. For this purpose, the fixing section can have a characteristic shape that engages in a corresponding shape in the fastening receptacle, wherein the fixing section and / or the fastening receptacle are designed in particular such that the positive connection can be released in a targeted manner. Examples of such positive connections are known, for example, from buckles on backpack hip belts or buckles on seat belts.Such a design of the bracket ensures uncomplicated and secure fixation of the body to the fastening device.

[0012] In a further advantageous embodiment of the invention, the bracket has a stabilizing geometry designed to enlarge the contact area between the bracket and the body in at least one spatial direction. The stabilizing geometry is preferably designed as a widened portion of the bracket or as a plate attached to the bracket or other planar geometry. Alternatively or additionally, the stabilizing geometry can also be formed by the design of the bracket geometry itself. A larger contact area between the bracket and the body of the trolley can further increase the stability of the fixation.

[0013] In a further advantageous embodiment of the invention, the stabilizing geometry is designed to form the fixation section. This is considered a particularly simple embodiment of the invention, since it allows the functions of the fixation section and the stabilizing geometry to be combined.

[0014] In an advantageous embodiment of the invention, the bracket is attached to at least one guide element at at least one pivot point and is mounted for rotation about this pivot point in order to be moved from an initial position to a locking position. The initial position of the bracket is defined by the fact that the body is not fixed to the fastening device and the trolley can be moved into the position required for locking without the bracket impeding this. The locking position, on the other hand, is defined by the bracket fixing the body. Using such a bracket, the trolley can be rotated and, for example, in the locking position, engages a corresponding section provided on the trolley body to ensure locking. Rotating the bracket about the pivot point is a structurally simple and easy-to-implement method for ensuring locking.

[0015] In a further advantageous embodiment of the invention, the bracket is designed such that it at least partially surrounds the body of the trolley from at least two, preferably three sides. In this way, the body is surrounded by the bracket and can thus prevent movement of the body in two or three spatial directions in order to increase the stability of the fastening device. Preferably, the bracket is pretensioned by a spring force, wherein the spring is designed to generate the spring force and bring the bracket into a position in which it surrounds the body. In this way, the bracket is automatically moved into the correct position for securing the body after it is released by the user. Consequently, operation is less prone to errors and the security of the trolley can be guaranteed.

[0016] In a further preferred embodiment of the fastening device according to the invention, the two guide elements each have an upper fastening element and a lower fastening element, which are arranged at opposite ends of the corresponding guide element, wherein the lower fastening element fastens the corresponding guide element to a loading area of ​​the vehicle. This ensures secure fastening of the guide elements.

[0017] Furthermore, an embodiment of the invention is preferred in which the handle holder has an upper holding section and a lower holding section, which are designed to receive the handle of the trolley, and wherein the handle holder furthermore has at least one pin, which is designed to be inserted through the upper holding section and the lower holding section in order to fix the handle in the handle holder. Furthermore, the pin is secured in particular by a cotter pin or a ball pin, so that it is secured in its position. The pin can be used to implement a simple handle holder option, which has advantages in particular with regard to operability and safety.

[0018] Furthermore, an embodiment of the invention is preferred in which the handle holder has an upper holding section and a lower holding section, which are designed to receive the handle of the trolley between them, and wherein the handle holder furthermore has a latching threshold. In the context of the application, a latching threshold is to be understood as an element which forms a resistance which must be overcome in order to insert the handle into the handle holder. Furthermore, the latching threshold serves in particular to fix the handle in a defined position in the handle holder. The latching threshold can be formed, for example, by a geometric element, in particular a taper between the upper holding section and the lower holding section.Alternatively or additionally, the locking threshold is made of a material with a higher friction coefficient than the rest of the handle holder, such as rubber. The locking threshold can further increase the security of the fastening device and also simplify operation for the user, as the user can determine when the handle is in its final position in the handle holder by overcoming the resistance created by the locking threshold.

[0019] In a further advantageous embodiment of the invention, the handle holder has an upper holder section and a lower holder section, wherein the upper holder section is mounted on the lower holder section so as to be rotatable relative to the latter. The upper holder section further has a latching element, and the lower holder section has a latching counter-element, wherein the latching element and the latching counter-element are designed to be connected to one another in order to fix the upper holder section in a latched position. A latched position is understood to be a position in which the handle holder fixes the handle and which can only be released again by overcoming force when rotating the upper holder section.

[0020] A further preferred embodiment of the invention is one in which the handle holder has an upper holding section and a lower holding section, which are designed to receive the handle of the trolley, and the upper holding section and / or the lower holding section has at least one removal recess. A removal recess is understood to be a recess that simplifies the removal of the handle from the handle holder by making the handle more easily accessible. In this way, the comfort and operability of the fastening device can be further increased.

[0021] A further preferred embodiment of the invention is one in which the handle holder comprises an upper holding section and a lower holding section, which are designed to receive the handle of the trolley, and the upper holding section and / or the lower holding section comprises a guide geometry. Guide geometry is understood to mean an element of the holding sections that guides the handle when it is inserted into the handle holder. In this case, the guide geometry is, in particular, funnel-shaped.

[0022] In an advantageous embodiment of the invention, the handle holder has at least one handle receptacle, which is in particular provided with a securing element. The handle receptacle is designed to enclose and fix the handle. The securing element is designed to secure the handle in the handle receptacle so that it cannot accidentally slip out of the handle receptacle. The handle receptacle is preferably made of hard rubber and particularly preferably has an opening for inserting the handle, which opening is smaller than the handle. As a result, the handle must be pushed through the opening to be inserted into the handle receptacle, whereby the handle receptacle is reversibly deformed. Consequently, the handle is held in the handle receptacle even without a securing element.

[0023] In a further preferred embodiment of the invention, the bracket has an auxiliary bracket which is connected to a connecting element of the handle holder in such a way that the handle holder is released when the bracket is opened. For this purpose, the auxiliary bracket preferably has two sections which are rotatably mounted relative to one another and relative to the rest of the bracket by means of two joints. One section is further rotatably mounted at a pivot point relative to the guide elements of the fastening device. A section of the auxiliary bracket is connected to the connecting element. The connecting element is preferably designed as a ring through which a section of the auxiliary frame can be passed, wherein the connecting element is arranged in particular on a pin.By opening the bar, thus unlocking the trolley, and the associated movement of the subframe, the pin is moved from the locking position, allowing the handle to be removed from the handle holder. This design increases operating safety and convenience, as both the bar itself and the handle holder can be locked and unlocked with a single movement of the bar.

[0024] The vehicle according to the invention has at least one fastening device according to the invention.

[0025] Advantageous aspects and embodiments of the present invention are explained in more detail below with reference to the accompanying figures. They show: Fig. 1 shows a first embodiment of a fastening device 1 according to the invention in a vehicle 100 Fig. 2a shows a detailed view of the first embodiment of the fastening device 1 according to the invention Fig. 2b shows a detailed view of a second embodiment of the fastening device 1 according to the invention Fig. 2c shows a detailed view of a third embodiment of the fastening device 1 according to the invention Fig. 2d shows a detailed view of a fourth embodiment of the fastening device 1 according to the invention Fig. 3a shows a detailed view of a handle holder 16 of the fastening device 1 according to the invention in a first embodiment Fig. 3b shows a detailed view of a handle holder 16 of the fastening device 1 according to the invention in a second embodiment Fig. 3c shows a detailed view of a handle holder 16 of the fastening device 1 according to the invention in a third embodiment Fig. 3d shows a detailed view of a handle holder 16 in a fourth embodiment Fig. 4a shows a further embodiment of the fastening device 1 according to the invention in a fourth embodiment and in a closed state Fig. 4b shows the Fig. 4a shown embodiment in an open state

[0026] Fig. Figure 1 shows a first embodiment of a fastening device 1 according to the invention in a vehicle 100. The vehicle 100 has a loading area 2, which is delimited by a body, which has supporting elements of the vehicle structure. A mounting rail 20 is arranged on the vehicle structure. The fastening device 1 has two guide elements 11, which are arranged parallel to one another at such a distance that they can accommodate a trolley 30 (in Fig. 1 not shown). The guide elements 11 are each fastened by an upper fastening section 151 to the mounting rail 20 and a lower fastening section 152 to the loading area itself. It is also possible to fasten the guide elements 11 directly to the vehicle structure, i.e. without a mounting rail 20. The guide elements 11 each have stabilizing sections 12 which are wider than the rest of the guide elements. Furthermore, the fastening device 1 has a handle holder 16 which, like the guide elements 11, is also fastened to the mounting rail 20. Furthermore, the guide elements 11 each have two brackets 13 which are designed to fix a body 31 of the trolley 30.

[0027] The mounting rail 20 is arranged in the direction of travel, i.e., parallel to the vehicle's longitudinal axis. The fastening device 1 is accordingly oriented in the vehicle 100 such that the two guide elements 11 are arranged one behind the other in the direction of travel. It is pointed out that other orientations of the fastening device 1 within the vehicle 100 are also conceivable, and thus the invention is not limited to the Fig. 1 shown orientation is limited.

[0028] Fig. 2a to 2d show different embodiments of the fastening device 1 according to the invention in identical representations.

[0029] Fig. 2a shows the already in Fig. 1 in a detailed view, wherein the attachment of the fastening device 1 to the vehicle 100 is not shown for reasons of clarity. A trolley 30 is fixed with its body 31 between the guide elements 11, with wheels 33 of the trolley 30 arranged between the stabilizing sections 12. The fixation takes place in three different ways.

[0030] First, the trolley 30 is fixed in one spatial direction by the laterally arranged stabilizing sections 12 of the guide elements 11. Taking into account the Fig. 1, the stabilizing sections 12 thus ensure fixation in the direction of travel of the vehicle 100. Since the greatest accelerations occur particularly in frontal collisions and thus fixation in this spatial direction must be particularly stable, it is particularly advantageous if the guide elements 11 are connected to the loading area 2 at the stabilizing sections 12 in order to achieve the maximum possible stability of the stabilizing sections 12. By widening the stabilizing sections 12, the force can be absorbed over as large a surface as possible, thereby achieving lower leverage effects.

[0031] A further fixation of the body 31 of the trolley 30 is achieved via the brackets 13, which are arranged on each of the guide elements 11. In this case, a bracket 13 is rotatably mounted via a pivot point 14. Further potential pivot points are provided on the guide elements, to which a corresponding bracket 13 can be fastened. In this way, the bracket 13 can be brought into a position laterally from the body 31 of the trolley 30 and thus also absorbs force in the direction of travel. Furthermore, the bracket 13 has a fixing section 131, which, in an end position of the bracket 13, engages in a fastening receptacle 34 provided for this purpose in the body 31 and thus also fixes the body 31 to the fastening device 1 in the transverse direction to the longitudinal axis of the vehicle. The fastening receptacle 34 can be in the Fig. 2a can also be used as a side handle to carry the trolley 30.

[0032] As a third fixation, a handle holder 16 is provided, into which a handle 321 of the trolley 30 can be inserted and secured. This fixation point can absorb forces in all spatial directions, thus preventing movement of the handle 321 from the handle holder 16. The handle 321 is connected to the body 31 of the trolley 30 via a holding device 32 and, in particular, is height-adjustable. A user can pull the trolley 30 behind them using the wheels 33 on the handle 321.

[0033] The aforementioned fixing points prevent unwanted movement of the trolley 30 and thus ensure load securing in accordance with the guidelines.

[0034] For fixing, the trolley 30 is pushed between the two guide devices 11, whereby the side of the trolley 30 on which the holding device 32 with the handle 321 is provided is pressed against the vehicle side wall (see Fig. 1). The two brackets 13, which are each arranged on the guide elements 11, are folded upwards. The handle 321 is inserted into the handle holder 16 and secured by means of two pins 165 (see Fig. 3a) is fixed therein. The brackets 13 are then folded downwards so that the respective fixing sections 131 are connected to the corresponding fastening receptacles 34. The trolley 30 is thus fixed to the fastening device 1. To release the trolley 30 again, the brackets 13 are first folded upwards and the handle 321 is released from the handle holder 16. The trolley 30 can then be moved out of the fastening device 1 via the wheels 33.

[0035] The Fig. 2b, Fig. 2c and Fig. The embodiments shown in Figure 2d correspond largely to the Fig. 2b, whereby the description of the corresponding figures only refers to the differences between the embodiments. Furthermore, the Fig. 2a Described.

[0036] In contrast to the Fig. 2a, the bracket 13 comprises in the embodiment shown in Fig. 2b, the trolley 30 is arranged from two sides. Furthermore, the body 31 of the trolley 30 is composed of two individual volumes that are stacked and secured together. Such trolleys 30 are known in the art and are widely used. The handle holder 16 is located in Fig. 2b behind the upper volume of the body 31 and is therefore not visible in the perspective shown.

[0037] The brackets 13 surround the body 31 laterally and frontally, thus preventing movement of the body 31 both in the direction of the vehicle's longitudinal axis and the vehicle's transverse axis. The bracket 13 is formed as a curved element made of one piece, although embodiments of assembled and interconnected elements are also conceivable. Unlike in the Fig. In the embodiment shown in Figure 2a, the brackets 13 are not connected to a mounting receptacle 34, but are simply folded down as far as possible. It is possible for the end position of the brackets 13 to be defined, for example, by a stop.

[0038] Furthermore, the brackets 13 have a stabilizing geometry 132, which increases the contact area between the bracket 13 and the body 31, thus providing increased stability to the fastening. In the embodiment shown, the stabilizing geometry 132 is formed by the configuration of the bracket geometry itself.

[0039] Embodiments of the invention are also conceivable in which both a Fig. 2a as well as one in Fig. 2b shown bracket 13 can be used to fix the body 31 with several brackets 13.

[0040] Embodiments of the invention are also conceivable in which the stabilizing geometry 132 also functions as a fixing section 131 and as such engages in a corresponding fastening receptacle 34 in order to ensure the fastening of the trolley 30.

[0041] The Fig. The embodiment of the fastening device 1 shown in Figure 2c has only one bracket 13, which is rotatably mounted on both guide elements 11 via corresponding pivot points 14. Thus, the fixation can be applied and released by means of the bracket 13 with a single movement. Furthermore, the bracket 13 has two stabilizing sections 132, one of which protrudes beyond the body 31 of the trolley 30 and thus also serves as a handle for securing or releasing the fixation.

[0042] Fig. Figure 2d shows an embodiment of the fastening device 1 in which the brackets 13 enclose the body 30 in three spatial directions. For fixation in the vehicle's longitudinal and transverse directions, the body 31 is thus also pressed against the floor of the loading area 2.

[0043] Furthermore, embodiments of the invention are conceivable that feature a locking mechanism for the brackets 13, preferably at the pivot points 14, to fix them in a specific position. In this case, it would be necessary to release the locking function before removing the locking mechanism, i.e., before rotating the bracket 13 upwards. Such locking mechanisms can be implemented, for example, via a positive locking mechanism, such as a click fastener or similar.

[0044] Likewise, different combinations of the Fig. 2a to 2d shown embodiments.

[0045] Fig. 3a shows a detailed view of a handle holder 16 in a first embodiment. The handle holder 16 has a fastening section 161, which is designed to fasten the handle holder 16 to the vehicle structure using suitable fastening means, such as screws. Furthermore, an upper mounting section 162 and a lower mounting section 163 are provided, which receive the handle 321 of the trolley 30 between them. Furthermore, two pins 165 are provided, which extend from the upper mounting section 162 to the lower mounting section 163 and can be removed from and inserted into the handle holder 16. If the handle 321 (see Fig. 2a) In the handle holder 16, i.e., between the upper holder section 162 and the lower holder section 163, the pins 165 are inserted to fix the position of the handle 321 in the handle holder 16. To secure the pins 165, split pins (not shown) can be used to prevent accidental removal of the pins 165.

[0046] Furthermore, the handle holder 16 has a guide geometry 164 which facilitates the reception of the handle 321 and guides it into the handle holder 16.

[0047] Fig. 3b shows a further embodiment of a handle holder 16. In contrast to the Fig. 3a, this embodiment has a latching threshold 166. This is designed in the form of a tapered opening of the handle holder 16, so that the distance between the upper holder section 162 and the lower holder section 163 is reduced. When inserting the handle 321 into the handle holder 16, the latching threshold 166 must be overcome. The distance between the upper holder section 162 and the lower holder section 163 is dimensioned in the area of ​​the latching threshold 166 smaller than the thickness of the handle 321, so that the handle 321 must slightly bend the upper holder section 162 and the lower holder section 163 when inserted into the handle holder 16. In this way, the resistance when passing the latching threshold 166 is increased and the user receives haptic feedback as to when the handle 321 is fully located in the handle holder 16 and has thus reached the end position.In addition, this also ensures that the handle 321 does not leave this position unintentionally, for example until the pins 165 are inserted.

[0048] Alternatively or additionally, the engagement threshold 166 may comprise a different material than the remaining handle holder 16, which has a higher coefficient of friction in order to increase the resistance when inserting the handle 321 into the handle holder 16.

[0049] Fig. Figure 3c shows a further embodiment of a handle holder 16 of the fastening device 1. This embodiment also has an upper holder section 162 and a lower holder section 163. Unlike in the previously shown embodiments, however, these are mounted so as to be rotatable relative to one another via a pivot point, as indicated by the arrow. As a result, the upper holder section 162 can be rotated relative to the lower holder section 163 from an initial position (in Fig. 3c) into a fixing position, wherein the upper support section 162 rotates by 90 degrees relative to the lower support section 163.

[0050] In the initial position, a handle 321 can be inserted into the handle holder 16. Once the handle 321 is fully inserted into the handle holder 16, the upper holder section 162 is moved into the locking position and secured via a locking element in the upper holder section 162 and a locking counter-element 168 in the lower holder section 163. The locking element 167 and the locking counter-element 168 form a positive connection. This prevents the handle 321 from being removed from the handle holder 16. It is also conceivable to provide a different connection between the locking element 167 and the locking counter-element 168.

[0051] In addition, it is also conceivable to use the Fig. 3a, the pins 165 are also provided in such an embodiment with a rotatable upper support section 162 to ensure additional security.

[0052] Fig. 3d shows a fourth embodiment of a handle holder 16 of a fastening device 1 according to the invention. The illustration essentially corresponds to the illustration from Fig. 2a, where only a different embodiment of the handle holder 16 is shown. Reference is therefore also made to the explanations for Fig. 2a.

[0053] The handle holder 16 has a fastening section 161 which is designed to fix the handle holder 16, for example by means of a mounting rail (cf. Fig. 1) to a vehicle structure. Furthermore, the fastening section 161 has two side sections 161a, which are provided for fastening the handle holder 16 to the guide elements 11 of the fastening device 1. Embodiments without side sections 16a are also conceivable.

[0054] The handle holder 16 further comprises two handle receptacles 169, each of which has locking elements 169a. The locking elements 169a can be opened and closed. The handle 321 is received by the handle receptacles 169, whereby when the locking element 169a is closed, the handle 321 cannot escape from the handle receptacles 169. If the locking elements 169a are opened, the handle 321 can be removed from the handle receptacles 169.

[0055] The handle receptacles 169 are preferably made of a slightly elastic hard rubber. This allows the opening of the handle receptacles 169 to be made somewhat narrower than the handle 321, so that when inserting the handle 321 into the handle receptacles 169, the opening must be slightly bent open. Thus, the handle 321 is secured in the handle receptacle 169 even without the securing elements 169a.

[0056] The Fig. 4a and Fig. 4b show a further embodiment of the fastening device 1 according to the invention. This differs with regard to the design of a bracket 13 and the handle holder 16 from the one already described with regard to Fig. 2a, which is why only the differences will be discussed here.

[0057] The Fig. 4a and Fig. 4b show the same embodiment, wherein a bracket 13 in Fig. 4a is closed and thus secures the trolley 30 and in Fig. 4b is open. The open position describes the position of the bracket 13 in which the trolley 30 can be removed from the fastening device 1, while the closed state of the bracket 13 or the fastening device 1 describes the state in which the trolley 30 is secured in the fastening device 1. The bracket 13 is similar to the one in Fig. 2c and, as such, encloses the body 31 of the trolley 30 in the closed state. In addition, the handle 13 has an auxiliary handle 135, which is rotatably mounted via a first joint 136 with the part of the handle 13 enclosing the body 31. The auxiliary handle 135 is also fastened and rotatably mounted at a pivot point 14 to the guide elements 11 of the fastening device 1. A second joint 136b divides the auxiliary handle 135 into two sections, one section being connected to the part of the handle 13 enclosing the body 31, and the other section being connected to connecting elements 165a, which are arranged on pins 165. The pins 165 are part of the handle holder 16 and serve, similarly to Fig. 2a for attaching and securing the handle 321 in the handle holder 16.

[0058] If the bracket 13 is now removed from the Fig. 4a shown configuration (state) and into the Fig. 4b, the auxiliary bracket 135 folds together with the help of the joints 136a and 136b and rotates around the pivot point 14, which connects it to the guide elements 14. By this mechanism, as in Fig. As shown in Figure 4b, the pins 165 are raised above the connection to the connecting elements 165a, allowing the handle 321 to be removed from the handle holder 16. In this way, by moving the bracket 13, all fastenings of the trolley 30 can be released, allowing the trolley to be removed from the fastening device 1. Likewise, all fastenings can be closed by lowering the bracket 13. In this way, the operability of the fastening device 1 can be further improved, and load securing can be improved, since the user is given less opportunity for incorrect operation.
