Roller
The invention relates to a roller ( 1 ), preferably comprising two wheels ( 2 ) and a locking device, an activating part ( 10 ) being able to act on the locking device for releasing or locking in a position that corresponds to a directional lock and/or in a position that corresponds to a total lock, and the activating part ( 10 ) being movable by a drive, a linear movement of a transmission part ( 7 ) that is generated by the drive being transmitted via spring force to the activating part ( 10 ) in order to move the activating part, and the activating part ( 10 ), in any case in a position corresponding to the total lock or in any case in a position corresponding to the direction lock, being in addition movable relative to the stationary transmission part, against a spring supported on the transmission part, into a release position by means of an actuating handle ( 11 ) that is movable independently of the drive and preferably by hand so as to override the total lock or the directional lock. In order to provide a roller that is formed in an advantageous manner with regard to an emergency release, it is proposed that a geometric axis of rotation (d) of the actuating handle ( 11 ) is disposed on the same side as the activating part ( 10 ) with respect to the axis of rotation (D) of the wheel ( 2 ), the activating part being disposed offset, in a vertical section, with respect to an axis of rotation (D) of the wheel ( 2 ).
1. A roller comprising a wheel and a locking device, an activating part acting on the locking device for releasing or locking in a position that corresponds to a directional lock and/or in a position that corresponds to a total lock, and the activating part being movable by a drive, a linear movement of a transmission part that is generated by the drive being transmitted via spring force to the activating part in order to move the activating part, and the activating part, in a position corresponding to the total lock or in a position corresponding to the directional lock, being movable relative to the transmission part, against a spring supported on the transmission part, into a release position via an actuating handle that is movable independently of the drive so as to override the total lock or the directional lock, the transmission part being stationary during the total lock or during the directional lock, wherein a geometric axis of rotation of the actuating handle is disposed on the same side as the activating part with respect to an axis of rotation of the wheel, the activating part being disposed offset with respect to the axis of rotation of the wheel and being oriented vertically.
2. The roller according to claim 1 , wherein the geometric axis of the actuating handle runs through the activating part.
3. The roller according to claim 1 , wherein a horizontal plane which passes through the axis of rotation of the wheel also passes through the actuating handle.
4. The roller according to claim 1 , wherein the actuating handle is vertically stationary during a movement of the activating part.
5. The roller according to claim 1 , wherein a cantilever interacting with the activating part interacts with a sliding part that is guided in a housing in the direction of movement of the activating part.
6. The roller according to claim 1 , wherein a sliding part is guided in a stationary housing insert part through which the actuating handle passes.
7. The roller according to claim 6 , wherein the actuating handle has a through pin acting directly on the sliding part.
8. The roller according to claim 7 , wherein the sliding part has a lower limit stop and an upper limit stop and the through pin acts on the lower limit stop and on the upper limit stop for releasing the total lock or the directional lock.
9. The roller according to claim 1 , wherein the actuating handle is spring-biased into a neutral position.
10. The roller according to claim 1 , wherein the actuating handle is actuated via a simple tool comprising a coin or a double claw.
11. The roller according to claim 1 , wherein a release position set by hand is latched.
12. The roller according to claim 1 , wherein a neutral position of the actuating handle is re-established by a motor-driven movement of the activating part.
13. The roller according to claim 1 , wherein a neutral position of the actuating handle is re-established initially by a motor-driven movement of the activating part further in a direction of movement forced by the actuating handle.
