AI Technical Summary

Technical Problem

Existing carrying aids for transporting large, frame-shaped building elements like windows are cumbersome and unsafe, particularly on narrow and steep stairs, and lack ease of use and reusability.

Method used

A plug-in anchor element with a cylindrical anchor sleeve and wire rope is used to securely attach to through-holes in window frames, allowing easy and safe lifting and carrying by preventing the element from being pulled out during use.

Benefits of technology

Facilitates safe, easy, and reusable transport of window frames by ensuring secure attachment and preventing unintended detachment during manual handling.

Abstract

Plug-in anchor element (1), consisting of a wire rope (2) with a loop (5) created by a press sleeve (6), which connects the wire rope (2) in two wire rope booms (3.1, 3.2) arranged next to one another, for lifting and carrying components, in particular window frames which have through holes (DB) in the lateral legs (KFR, HFR), characterized in that a metallic anchor sleeve (4) with an outer diameter which is slightly smaller than the diameter of the through holes (DB) of the window frame (KFR, HFR) is fastened to the end of the wire rope boom (3.1), and in that the free end (7) of the wire rope boom (3.2), which is thermally protected against splicing, clearly overlaps the inner circumferential edge (4.1) of the anchor sleeve (4) of the opposite wire rope boom (3.1).

Description

Technical Field of the InventionThe invention relates to a plug anchor element for transporting components, such as window frames, in which the lateral legs have through-holes.Prior ArtSuitable support aids are required for the manually secure transport of large, frame-shaped and heavy structural elements, such as windows, on the construction site to their destination location, in particular over narrow and steep stairs.A support aid described in utility model DE 20 2014 100 477 for frame-shaped components, in particular window frames, which have through-bores in their lateral legs is known.Furthermore, a support line system described in utility model DE 20 2014 104 690 for transporting frame-shaped components, in particular window frames, which have through-bores in their lateral legs is known.Furthermore, the utility model DE 20 2018 002 188 is known. It relates to a transport device for lifting and supporting structural elements such as windows and doors, which are provided with a bore for the insertion of a support aid, in particular a hook, which reaches into the cavity of the profile frame.The utility model DE 20 2019,002 359 is likewise known. It relates to an angle clamp which can be used for transporting frame-shaped components, in particular window frames, which have through-bores in their lateral limbs.A step-shaped steel plug hook is also known for lifting and supporting structural elements such as windows and doors, which are provided with a bore for the insertion of a supporting aid, in particular a hook, which reaches into the cavity of the profile frame.Object of the InventionThe object of the invention is to provide an easily manipulated, secure and multiply usable support aid with which the manual transport of frame-shaped structural components such as window frames is lighter and secure.SolutionThe object of the invention is achieved according to the invention with the features of the independent claims.Further preferred features according to the invention can be taken from the dependent claims.DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTIONThe plug anchor element serves for the manual transport of components, in particular window frames, which have through-bores in their lateral legs, which are provided for fastening the window frame to walls by means of screws or dowels. These through-holes are used by the plug anchor element for the rapid, simple and secure lifting and carrying of the window element. For this purpose, a cylindrical anchor sleeve with an outermost outer diameter which is slightly smaller than the diameter of the through bore of the window frame is attached to one end of the cable cable of the plug anchor element.The other end of the wire rope is secured against splicing without thickening by a thermal separation such as welding or bonding or has a metal pin.An eyelet is arranged between the ends of the wire cable in such a way that two opposing wire cable extension arms result. The cable extension without anchor sleeve is so long that its end that is thermally secured against splicing on overlaps at least partially the anchor sleeve of the cable extension with anchor sleeve.The fastening of the plug anchor element takes place by the cable extension with the anchor sleeve being inserted into one of the matching through-holes of the window frame until a partial opening is formed, through which the cable extension without anchor sleeve is subsequently also inserted.The tensile force acting on the anchor sleeve when the window element is lifted and carried leads behind the window frame bore to a positive and secure blocking of both cable booms and thus prevents the plug anchor element from being able to be pulled out.Only after the cable extension without anchor sleeve has been pulled out again is it also possible to pull the cable extension with anchor sleeve out of the through bore and thus to release the entire plug anchor element.For carrying and lifting a window unit, a plug anchor element with a carrying handle fastened to the eyelet is attached to each of the lateral legs of the window frame.Brief Description of the FiguresThe invention is explained and described below in more detail with reference to exemplary embodiments shown in the figures.
