Finger protection protector for screw connectors M5-M12 according to DIN EN1176

Abstract

Finger protection protector for a screw connector. Finger protection protector for screw connectors of sizes M5 to M12, in particular for use on playground equipment according to DIN EN 1176, characterized in that the finger protection protector consists of two connectable, essentially mirror-image components which at least partially enclose the screw connector and thereby form an L-shaped protective contour, wherein the two components are designed such that they positively and / or force-fit at least a region of the screw connector and the component attached to it, wherein openings orThe gaps in the area of ​​the screw connector are at least partially closed, thus preventing the unintentional penetration of a finger into the area covered by the protective contour, and a component attached to the screw connector, in particular a chain, an eye bolt, or a similar connecting element, remains movable within its intended range of motion. The finger guard has a receptacle that completely surrounds the component to be protected along one longitudinal side and partially surrounds the component in the area of ​​the screw connector, thus securing the component within the screw connector against unintentional loosening or slippage. The connection points of the two components are recessed relative to the component openings in such a way that the openings can be manually adjusted or enlarged if necessary.
