Description

Bonding device for fixing objects, in particular for fixing human limbs, body parts or objects

The invention relates to an attachment device, in particular for the fixation of human limbs, body parts or objects according to the features of the preamble of claim 1.

Fetter devices usually today have locking mechanisms which must be locked independently of each other on the body parts or objects to be fixed and which, moreover, can only be adapted to different sizes and circumferences to a limited extent. Such tether devices are either dimensionally stable, such as handcuffs, or form-flexible, such as ropes or chains. The basic principles by which one attaches human limbs or other objects with and to each other are known; the objects to be locked are connected to each other by a device mentioned above in such a way that a disassembly or falling apart is made impossible.

In dimensionally stable restraint devices of the above type, the phenomenon now occurs that each locking mechanism must be actuated on the object to be locked in each case. Such devices are known for example from DE 103 05 200 A1 and DE 198 02 525 A1.

In the case of form-flexible devices, on the other hand, each of the objects to be fixed must be wrapped separately in order to achieve the desired fixation effect.

The restraint devices can usually be changed a little in circumference in order to wrap around several body parts, limbs or various different objects and adapt to the respective diameter of the object and / or the

Contour of the body part or the object to be tied to little. However, as far as it is flexible form Fesselvorrichtungen, it lacks a simple locking mechanism or the like, which could ensure a quick and easy locking. For ease of use, a simply connected device would make sense in which the fixation of different objects can be achieved in little limited size and shape with little effort.

It is therefore an object of the invention to develop a bondage device for fixing limbs, body parts or objects to the effect that the locking of different objects in almost unlimited size and shape can be achieved with only a few simple steps by the combined use of dimensionally stable and formflexibler Fesselungselemente.

According to the invention this object is achieved with a captive device in conjunction with the features of the preamble of claim 1, characterized in that tether loops form each end ends fetlock strap ends, the respective fetlock loop on the one hand to a substantially dimensionally stable connection element by means of their first Fesselschlaufen Endens articulated and on the other hand From the connecting element outgoing guide elements is arranged articulated and displaceable means of their second bondage loop end.

The invention advantageously enables the introduction of at least one object into at least one of the tether loops. Subsequently, the displacement and / or articulated movement of at least one second loop end of the loop can be effected, so that for fixing at least one object at least one loop, the first and / or second loop of a first or second larger diameter reversible in a first or second smaller diameter can be brought.

The first or second larger diameter corresponds to a non-tethered position and the first or second minor diameter of the tethered position of the at least one object in at least one tether loop.

In a preferred embodiment of the invention, the displacement and / or articulated

Movement of the at least one second bondage loop end of the first and / or second bond loop for fixing the object (bondage position) by a foreign handle or in the case of fixation of human limbs or body parts, such as wrists or ankles, automatically reachable by the user. In order to ensure a displacement of the second bond loop ends of the first and / or second restraint loop with respect to the guide element emanating from the connecting element, the second bond loop ends have a bond loop opening which surround the respective guide element, a first and a second guide element at least one restraint loop for fixing the object (bondage position) can be brought reversibly into the first or the second smaller diameter by overcoming a predefinable frictional engagement of the first or the second larger diameter.

In this case, limit the guide elements on which the second fetlock loop ends are arranged, the possible displacement movement and / or articulated movement for fixing the object (bondage position) by their predeterminable length.

In a further preferred embodiment, the first and second guide elements can also be brought together to form a third loop, whereby the possible displacement movement and / or joint-like movement for fixing the object can be limited by the formed predeterminable loop length.

Furthermore, in a further embodiment of the tethering device, the third loop to be attached to a fixed point, in particular suspended, whereby at least one of the two bondage loops under tensile load of the third loop overcoming the predetermined frictional forces between the third loop and the respective tether loop ends of the first and / or second binding loop is facilitated, wherein after fixing the object reached Fesselungsposition with the first or second smaller diameter under further tensile load of the third loop is not reversible and the object thus permanently fixed until at least the tensile load on the third loop is released. Only then is it even possible to remove the bondage position. The non-bondage position can only be achieved by releasing the traction force on the third loop and subsequently retracting the two second restraint loop ends on the third loop and / or articulated movement of the two second restraint loop ends by a foreign handle or automatically by a user. - A -

In a further embodiment, the fixation of an object (bondage position) can be achieved by fixing openings, which are arranged in the third loop, by a lock device or the like simultaneously reaching through the respective second bond loop loop end and the fixing openings.

According to the invention, the restraint loops and the guide elements or the third loop are made of a tear-resistant material, in particular nylon, metal wire, leather, hollow tubes, synthetic fibers, natural fibers or the like can be used, wherein the different areas of the captive device can be produced from various materials.

In particular, the selection of the material and the surface design of the guide elements or the third loop in the region of the sliding and articulated two Fesselschlaufen-ends determines the frictional engagement in the sliding and joint area, so that here at the touching surfaces, the frictional forces, which substantially to Fixation of the object or objects can be determined.

In a further preferred embodiment, the restraint loops and the guide elements or the third loop are braided from a tear-resistant, fibrous material, wherein the fibers of predeterminable length end at the two second Fesselschlaufen- ends and are secured there accordingly.

Finally, in another embodiment of the guide elements on which the tether loop ends are slidably and articulated, it is possible to form within the guide elements guide webs which are encompassed by the Fesselschlaufen- ends. Here, the two second loop ends no longer grip the guide element completely, but only the geometric design of the guide webs, in particular their length, determines the length of the sliding movement and / or the possible articulated movement of the fetlock loop ends and thus on the possibility of fixation of the object (bondage position).

As in the previous embodiment, the guide elements are also merge into a third loop, wherein the guide webs are now only a part or within the entire third loop can be formed, whereby either the smart fenlänge or provided in the third loop guide bar lengths limit the sliding movement and / or articulated movement of the tether loop ends relative to the third loop.

Finally, it should be mentioned that, of course, only one tether loop with a guide element or two - as described above - but also several restraint loops are formed on the connecting element, which are arranged on the connecting element articulated and on a respective guide element - under respective loops - slidably and articulated. In this case, several restraint loops can also be arranged on a guide element and / or a plurality of restraint loops can be arranged in a loop formed from guide elements.

Further preferred embodiments of the invention will become apparent from the remaining, mentioned in the dependent claims characteristics.

The invention will be explained below in embodiments with reference to the accompanying drawings. In this case, embodiments are described which are not explicitly shown. Show it:

Figure 1 is an attachment device in the open position (non-bond position);

Figure 2, the captive device in the closed position (bondage position ') and

Fixieröffnungen, while in the closed position (bondage position ').

FIG. 1 shows an attachment device 10 by means of which objects can be fixed or human limbs or body parts can be fixed or tied up.

The tying device 10 is shown in Figure 1 in non-tethered position, with a bondage or fixation of objects by a first loop 12 and a second loop fetlock 14 can be made. Each of the first and second tethers 12, 14 has a first articulated loop end 12A, 14A. This articulated first end 12A, 14A is arranged on a substantially dimensionally stable connecting element 16. A second hinged and slidable tether loop end 12B, 14B of each tether loop 12, 14 engages guide elements, a first guide element 18 and a second guide element 20, the respective second articulated and slidable tether loop end 12B, 14B being supported on these guide elements 18, 20 is movable. The possible displacement and / or joint movement is shown in FIG. 1 by means of arrows, FIG. 1 additionally showing that the first and second guide elements 18, 20 can be brought together to form a third loop 22.

The formation of the third loop 22 is not absolutely necessary for the function of the tethering device, in particular the possible sliding movement and articulated movement of the second tether loop ends 12B, 14B. It only needs to be ensured that the tether loop ends 12B, 14B can not slip off the first and second guide members 18, 20, thereby offering the formation of the third loop 22 for securing the second tether loop ends 12B, 14B.

FIG. 2 shows the tying device 10 in a position in which the fixation of objects in the first and / or second tether loop 12, 14 is achieved. The reference numerals' '' correspond to the tying position, with the second tether loop ends 12B, 14B here in the tying position 12B ', 14B'. The displacement of the second tether loop ends 12B, 14B into the tethered position 12B ', 14B' is realized by first and second tether loop openings 12C, 14C, respectively, which surround and are slidably and articulated on the guide elements 18, 20. The first and second tether loop openings 12C, 14C are also shown in FIG.

After introduction of at least one object into at least one tether loop 12, 14, according to FIG. 1 and displacement and / or joint-like movement of at least one second tether loop end 12B, 14B, then according to FIG. 2 the fixation of at least one object (tethering position ') by at least one Tether loop 12, 14 changing a first or second larger diameter D1 _Off e _n , D2 _0ff e _n at least one tether loop 12, 14 to a first or second smaller diameter D1 chi _ges. D2 _geS chi (bondage position '), according to Figure 2 achievable.

The displacement and / or hinge-like movement of the tether loop ends 12A, 14A relative to the guide elements 18, 20, which in the exemplary embodiment are joined together to form the third loop 22, can be changed via a foreign handle to the captive position for fixing an object, but they can in particular in the case of the fixation of human limbs and body parts, such as wrists or ankles for taking the bondage position 'by automatic movement of the user in the respective tether loop 12, 14 can be achieved. The force to be overcome is the frictional force which is established or formed between the tether loop ends 12B, 14B and the guide elements 18, 20.

The overcoming of the frictional force is facilitated if, for example, the tying device 10 is fixed to the third loop 22, which then acts as a so-called pull loop, so that the tying device 10 has a counterforce, whereby then the foreign handle or automatic movement of the user in the first or second tether loop 12, 14 facilitates to a Fesselungsposition ', as shown in Figure 2, can be brought.

Of course, the application of the tensile force is not only possible via the third loop 22 (pull loop), but free ends of the guide elements 18, 20 can also be fastened in a suitable manner, so that the same effect as just described can be achieved.

For the figures 1 and 2 is that the predetermined length of the first and second guide member 18, 20 prescribes the possible adjustment of the tether loops 12, 14, wherein finally in the embodiment with the third loop 22, of course, the loop length the adjustment or the articulated movable region the tether loop 12, 14 pretends.

A further possibility for fixing the tether loop ends 12B, 14B with respect to the guide elements 18, 20 or the third loop 22 formed therefrom is shown in FIG. 3, in which fixing openings 24 are provided in the guide elements 18, 20. are arranged so that a fixing of the Fesselschlaufen- ends 12 B, 14 B is effected not only on the frictional engagement of the tether loop ends 12 B, 14 B relative to the guide elements 18, 20, but a lock device, the respective tether loop end 12 B, 14 B, Fixing passes through and thus a bondage position according to Figure 3, shown with further the same reference numerals, is reached. In this case, a combination of frictional engagement and fixation of the tether loop ends 12B, 14B relative to the guide elements 18, 20 can be effected. However, it can also be carried out so that only the fixing openings 24 and the locking device (not shown) engaging in the fixing openings cause a fixing or binding. Preferably, an opening in the tether loop ends 12B, 14B is used for hooking the lock device, as shown in Figures 1 to.

The exemplary embodiment shows the binding device 10 in a braided embodiment. However, the braided design is not determinative of the described function of the capturing device 10.

As materials in braided and non-braided execution tear resistant materials, such as nylon, metal wire, leather, hollow tubes, synthetic fibers, natural fibers or the like in question.

In this case, in particular the adjustment range of the tether loop ends 12B, 14B relative to the guide elements 18, 20 and the third loop 22 have different materials than the rest of the capturing device 10, since just here the frictional engagement between the tether loop ends 12B, 14B and the guide elements 18, 20 plays a crucial role in fixing the objects. Ultimately, the choice of material and the surface design decides on the surfaces in contact with the corresponding fixing force, by the thus predetermined frictional force.

The braided embodiment offers some advantageous details, which will be described below with reference to the figures, the explicit details of which are not shown. The braided production is carried out in the embodiment - as shown in the figures - namely as follows, that in the upper region of the loop by means of preferably tear-resistant fibers specifiable length, in this case by means of four fibers, the third loop 22 to the left and right to form the in the third loop integrated guide elements 18, 20 is braided.

The guide elements 18, 20 then pass into the substantially dimensionally stable connecting element 16, out of which, in turn articulated, the first articulated tether loop end 12A and the second articulated tether loop end 14A and then the tether loops 12, 14 are formed or braided further ,

In the region of the first and second tether loop openings 12C, 14C, two fibers are formed above the guide elements 18, 20 and two fibers underneath the guide elements 18, 20 and form the first and second tether loop openings 12C, 14C, respectively, wherein the four fibers in the end area are linked accordingly, fused, capped with ferrules or the like secured. This splitting of the fibers also creates the opening described above for hooking lock means into the tether loop ends 12B, 14B and the respective fixing apertures 24.

From the braided execution results in particular a further, not shown embodiment. Analogously to the manufacturing method just described, it is also possible to braid the third loop 22 not by four fiber ends of predeterminable length, but by twelve fibers of predeterminable length in the region of the third loop 22 and in the region of the guide elements 18, 20 and the connecting element 16 splitting the third loop braided from twelve fibers, so that in the area of the guide elements 18, 20 a region of three braided regions of the third loop 22 comprising four fibers can be formed, wherein the middle fiber then forms a guide web which acts as each left and right arranged guide element 18, 20 can be used.

Each of four fiber ends braided three webs - the middle preferably as

Guide bar usable - converge on the connecting element 16 by corresponding braiding again, form the substantially dimensionally stable connection element and, according to FIGS. 1 to 3, are once again braided over first articulated loop ends 12A, 14A in restraint loops 12, 14, whereby the end, second articulated and displaceable loop ends 12B, 14B no longer completely cover the entire third loop 22 embrace, but only encompass the middle trained guide bar. It is not mandatory to choose the middle guide bar. An arrangement of the second hinge-like and displaceable tether loop ends 12B, 14B in the respective guide element 18, 20 or the third loop 22 can also take place in one or even two guide webs.

Of course, this guide bar on the guide elements 18, 20 can also be formed without a third loop 22 is formed, so that a length of the central guide bar is formed either by the length of the guide elements 18, 20, or by the length of the formation of the middle guide bar 22 is predetermined in the third loop. The training described above is of course much more stable by the formation of the captive device 10 by means of twelve fiber ends, so that here, if necessary, heavier objects can be fixed. However, the number of fibers is chosen only as an example and is in principle arbitrary depending on the braiding technique.

Finally, of course, an embodiment of the guide webs under the preferred use of such a middle guide web, regardless of the braided design and the training is technically reachable by individual guide web-like fibers in the area under formation of the guide elements 18, 20.

The size of the representation of the tethering device 10 can be assumed to be approximately 1: 1, 5, so that, for example, for the connecting web 16, a size of 3 cm wide and 4 cm high is executable.

The tethering device 10 is also usable by folding the first tether loop 12, 14 with respect to the second tether loop 12, 14 or vice versa along a centerline ML of the tethering device 10 and passing the object to be tethered through both tether loops 12, 14. The described functions and possibilities of fixing the objects, in particular under tensile load of the third loop 22, are also applicable analogously for this case. LIST OF REFERENCE NUMBERS
