Abstract

Abstract An apparatus for connecting, tightening, securing and releasing of belts, which comprises a tension lock and a swingable tension lever. A locking pin and a deviation pin are disposed spaced apart and behind each other on the tension lever for locking and deviating of a belt, and for winding the tension side of the belt about the deviation pin with formation of a substantially Ushaped single belt loop in one layer and for laying over itself partly surrounding the locking pin in two layers for support on the locking pin with formation of a double belt loop, while the securing side of the belt is secured to the tension lock, the tension lock is structurally separated from the tension lever and disposed along parallel axes and set off as to the height as well as disposed behind each other. Side cheek members receive at least one of the locking pins and one of the deviation pins. At least one of the pins is formed as a rotatable roller, in order to wind the tension side of the belt in a single belt loop, about the deviation bolt, as well as the superposed belt sections of the single loop in a double belt loop about the locking bolt with formation of a belt self-locking securing system, the belt part surrounding the load as well as the free tension end of the belt disposed substantially parallel to a plane extending through the bolt axes of the tension lock, a counter-bearing is provided for a hooklike support of a support hook pivotally connected to the tension lever. The support hook is releasably engageable with the free tension and of the belt, and the counter-bearing includes a belt part wound about the load.

Claims Analysis

Total Claims: 8
Claim 1
Independent Claim 285 words
An apparatus for connecting, tightening, securing and releasing of belts, comprising: a tension lock and a swingable tension lever; a locking pin and a deviation pin disposed spaced apart and behind each other on said tension lever for locking and deviating of a belt, and for winding the tension side of said belt about said deviation pin with formation of a substantially U-shaped single belt loop in one layer and for laying over itself partly surrounding said locking pin in two layers for support on said locking pin with formation of a double belt loop, while the securing side of said belt is secured to said tension lock; said tension lock being structurally separated from said tension lever and disposed along parallel axes and set off as to the height as well as disposed behind each other; side cheek members receiving at least one of said locking pins and one of said deviation pins; at least one of said pins being formed as a rotatable roller, in order to wind the tension side of said belt in a single belt loop, about said deviation bolt, as well as the superposed belt sections of the single loop in a double belt loop about said locking bolt with formation of a Belt self-locking securing system, the belt part surrounding said load as well as the free tension end of said belt disposed substantially parallel to a plane extending through the bolt axes of said tension lock; a counter-bearing for a hooklike support of a support hook pivotally connected to said tension lever; said support hook being releasably engageable with said free tension and of said belt; and said counter-bearing including a belt part wound about said load.
Claim 2
Independent Claim 285 words
An apparatus for connecting, tightening, securing and releasing of belts, comprising: a tension lock and a swingable tension lever; a locking pin and a deviation pin disposed spaced apart and behind each other on said tension lever for locking and deviating of a belt, and for winding the tension side of said belt about said deviation pin with formation of a substantially U-shaped single belt loop in one layer and for laying over itself partly surrounding said locking pin in two layers for support on said locking pin with formation of a double belt loop, while the securing side of said belt is secured to said tension lock; said tension lock being structurally separated from said tension lever and disposed along parallel axes and set off as to the height as well as disposed behind each other; side cheek members receiving at least one of said locking pins and one of said deviation pins; at least one of said pins being formed as a rotatable roller, in order to wind the tension side of said belt in a single belt loop, about said deviation bolt, as well as the superposed belt sections of the single loop in a double belt loop about said locking bolt with formation of a Belt self-locking securing system, the belt part surrounding said load as well as the free tension end of said belt disposed substantially parallel to a plane extending through the bolt axes of said tension lock; a counter-bearing for a hooklike support of a support hook pivotally connected to said tension lever; said support hook being releasably engageable with said free tension and of said belt; and said counter-bearing including a belt part wound about said load.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim 73 words
The apparatus, as set forth in claim 1, wherein: said tension lever has a grip portion and comprises an insert-tension lever equipped with said support hook; the latter being open at one side and pivotally connected with the grip part of said tension lever; and said insert-tension lever can be hooked in with said support hook into a loop or in a one-hook counter bearing on said belt part wound about said load.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim 29 words
The apparatus, as set forth in claim 2, wherein said hook counter-bearing comprises a sewn loop, a loop to be formed by a buckle or forms itself a buckle.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim 29 words
The apparatus, as set forth in claim 2, wherein said tension lever comprises a clamping device including a clamping lever securable to said belt part wound about said load.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim 45 words
The apparatus, as set forth in claim 1, wherein: said support hook has a pivot lever part; and the latter includes an abutment member on the side pointing to the grip part of said tension lever for limiting the swinging stroke of said tension lever.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim 25 words
The apparatus, as set forth in claim 1, wherein said rotatable roller in said tension lock has an operating handle for operation from the outside.
Claim 8
Dependent Claim 70 words
The apparatus, as set forth in claim 1, wherein: said tension lock comprises a double bolt unit including a deviation bolt and a locking bolt one of said bolts being formed as a rotatable roller; and said belt securing side of said belt being wound about an additional deviation belt with formation of a single belt loop and about an additional locking bolt with formation of a double belt loop.
