Arrangement of a suspension and a rail
View Patent ↗An arrangement of a suspension and of a rail is provided, in particular for suspending a travel and/or carrier rail or a lifting gear on a chassis or frame, having a tension element supporting the rail at one end thereof in the region of a profile head by a mounting element, with the head being substantially C-shaped in cross section, and forming a gap running at the top along a longitudinal center plane of the rail. The mounting element comprises a pivotable part that can be pivoted with respect to the tension element, the profile head and the pivotable part being designed such that the pivotable part can be guided through the gap from outside into the profile head in a loading position, and can be pivoted into a mounting position in which the pivotable part contacts the profile head from the inside, bridging the gap.
1. Arrangement of a suspension and of a rail, in particular for suspending a travel and/or carrier rail of a suspension track, a suspended conveyor or a lifting gear on a travelling mechanism or frame, having a tension element which supports the rail at one end in the region of a profile head by means of a mounting element, said head being substantially c-shaped in cross-section and forming at the top a gap extending along a longitudinal center plane of the rail, wherein the mounting element comprises a pivotable part which can be pivoted with respect to the tension element, the profile head and the pivotable part are dimensioned such that the pivotable part can be inserted through the gap from the outside into the profile head in a pivoting position and can be pivoted into a mounting position in which the pivotable part lies against the profile head from the inside, bridging the gap, wherein the pivotable part is aligned substantially horizontally in the mounting position and is aligned substantially vertically in the pivoting position.
2. Arrangement as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the pivotable part is formed to be arc-shaped in cross-section.
3. Arrangement as claimed in claim 2 , wherein the pivotable part is disposed so as to be pivotable about a bolt mounted in the tension element in the longitudinal direction of the rail.
4. Arrangement as claimed in claim 3 , wherein the bolt is attached to the tension element via a ball joint.
5. Arrangement as claimed claim 2 , wherein the suspension comprises a frame-shaped counter bearing which is formed to be arc-shaped in cross-section and is placed from the outside onto the profile head and is screwed to the pivotable part in the mounting position.
6. Arrangement as claimed in claim 5 , wherein the profile head comprises two opposing second web sections which extend downwardly and outwardly as seen in cross-section and which are attached to the first web sections, and comprises third web sections protruding back inwardly in the direction of the vertical longitudinal center plane, which are attached to the second web sections.
7. Arrangement as claimed claim 2 , wherein the profile head delimits the gap on both sides with first web sections which extend outwardly and upwardly in an inclined manner from the longitudinal center plane, and the pivotable part engages into the crimps of the profile head thus formed by the first web sections.
8. Arrangement as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the pivotable part is disposed so as to be pivotable about a bolt mounted in the tension element in the longitudinal direction of the rail.
9. Arrangement as claimed in claim 8 , wherein the bolt is attached to the tension element via a ball joint.
10. Arrangement as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the suspension comprises a frame-shaped counter bearing which is formed to be arc-shaped in cross-section and is placed from the outside onto the profile head and is screwed to the pivotable part in the mounting position.
11. Arrangement as claimed in claim 10 , wherein the profile head delimits the gap on both sides with first web sections which extend outwardly and upwardly in an inclined manner from the longitudinal center plane, and the pivotable part engages into the crimps of the profile head thus formed by the first web sections.
12. Arrangement as claimed in claim 11 , wherein the profile head comprises two opposing second web sections which extend downwardly and outwardly as seen in cross-section and which are attached to the first web sections, and comprises third web sections protruding back inwardly in the direction of the vertical longitudinal center plane, which are attached to the second web sections.
13. Arrangement as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the profile head delimits the gap on both sides with first web sections which extend outwardly and upwardly in an inclined manner from the longitudinal center plane, and the pivotable part engages into the crimps of the profile head thus formed by the first web sections.
14. Arrangement as claimed in claim 13 , wherein the profile head comprises two opposing second web sections which extend downwardly and outwardly as seen in cross-section and which are attached to the first web sections, and comprises third web sections protruding back inwardly in the direction of the vertical longitudinal center plane, which are attached to the second web sections.
15. Arrangement of a suspension and of a rail, in particular for suspending a travel and/or carrier rail of a suspension track, a suspended conveyor or a lifting gear on a travelling mechanism or frame, having a tension element which supports the rail at one end in the region of a profile head by means of a mounting element, said head being substantially c-shaped in cross-section and forming at the top a gap extending along a longitudinal center plane of the rail, wherein the mounting element comprises a pivotable part which can be pivoted with respect to the tension element, the profile head and the pivotable part are dimensioned such that the pivotable part can be inserted through the gap from the outside into the profile head in a pivoting position and can be pivoted into a mounting position in which the pivotable part lies against the profile head from the inside, bridging the gap, wherein the pivotable part is disposed so as to be pivotable about a bolt mounted in the tension element in the longitudinal direction of the rail.
16. Arrangement as claimed in claim 15 , wherein the bolt is attached to the tension element via a ball joint.
17. Arrangement as claimed in claim 15 , wherein the pivotable part is formed to be arc-shaped in cross-section.
18. Arrangement of a suspension and of a rail, in particular for suspending a travel and/or carrier rail of a suspension track, a suspended conveyor or a lifting gear on a travelling mechanism or frame, having a tension element which supports the rail at one end in the region of a profile head by means of a mounting element, said head being substantially c-shaped in cross-section and forming at the top a gap extending along a longitudinal center plane of the rail, wherein the mounting element comprises a pivotable part which can be pivoted with respect to the tension element, the profile head and the pivotable part are dimensioned such that the pivotable part can be inserted through the gap from the outside into the profile head in a pivoting position and can be pivoted into a mounting position in which the pivotable part lies against the profile head from the inside, bridging the gap, wherein the profile head delimits the gap on both sides with first web sections which extend outwardly and upwardly in an inclined manner from the longitudinal center plane, and the pivotable part engages into the crimps of the profile head thus formed by the first web sections.
19. Arrangement as claimed in claim 18 , wherein the profile head comprises two opposing second web sections which extend downwardly and outwardly as seen in cross-section and which are attached to the first web sections, and comprises third web sections protruding back inwardly in the direction of the vertical longitudinal center plane, which are attached to the second web sections.
