Abstract

The invention relates to a device for fastening cargo in a transportation means comprising at least one guide rail ( 1 ) and at least one fastening element ( 2 ) which can be attached to the guide rail ( 1 ) and has a catch element ( 22 ), wherein the guide rail ( 1 ) has a substantially C-shaped profile having two shoulders ( 10 ) and a groove ( 11 ), the catch element ( 22 ) is insertable into the groove ( 11 ) and the catch element ( 22 ) which is inserted into the groove ( 11 ) is pivotable about an axis extending substantially parallel to the longitudinal axis (L) of the guide rail, so at least one catch lug ( 23 ) of the catch element ( 22 ) engages with an undercut, formed by at least one of the shoulders ( 10 ), in the guide rail ( 1 ) and the fastening element ( 2 ) is arrested on the guide rail ( 1 ) at least in a vertical direction of the guide rail.

Claims

exact text as granted — not AI-modified
1 . Device for fastening cargo in a transportation means comprising at least one guide rail ( 1 ,  101 ,  201 ) and at least one fastening element ( 2 ,  102 ,  202 ,  302 ) which can be attached to the guide rail ( 1 ,  101 ,  201 ) and has a catch element ( 22 ,  122 ,  222 ,  322 ), characterized in that the guide rail ( 1 ,  101 ,  201 ) has a substantially C-shaped profile having two shoulders ( 10 ,  110 ,  210 ) and a groove ( 11 ,  111 ,  211 ), the catch element ( 22 ,  122 ,  222 ,  322 ) is insertable into the groove ( 11 ,  111 ,  211 ) and the catch element ( 22 ,  122 ,  222 ,  322 ) which is inserted into the groove ( 11 ,  111 ,  211 ) is pivotable about an axis extending substantially parallel to the longitudinal axis (L) of the guide rail ( 1 ,  101 ,  201 ), so at least one catch lug ( 23 ,  123 ,  223 ,  323 ) of the catch element ( 22 ,  122 ,  222 ,  322 ) engages with an undercut, formed by at least one of the shoulders ( 10 ,  110 ,  210 ), in the guide rail ( 1 ,  101 ,  201 ) and the fastening element ( 2 ,  102 ,  202 ,  302 ) is arrested on the guide rail ( 1 ,  101 ,  201 ) at least in a vertical direction (H) of the guide rail ( 1 ,  101 ,  201 ). 
   
   
       2 . Device according to  claim 1 , characterized in that the fastening element ( 2 ,  102 ,  202 ,  302 ) is a shackle. 
   
   
       3 . Device according to  claim 2 , characterized in that the catch element ( 2 ,  102 ) is formed in one piece with a gripping part ( 20 ,  120 ) of the shackle. 
   
   
       4 . Device according to  claim 1 , characterized in that the fastening element ( 102 ,  302 ) has a holding element ( 121 ,  321 ), the catch element ( 122 ,  322 ) being swivelably mounted on the holding element ( 121 ,  321 ). 
   
   
       5 . Device according to  claim 4 , characterized in that the holding element ( 121 ,  321 ) has at least one projection ( 125 ) which rests on an outside of at least one shoulder ( 110 ) when the catch element ( 122 ) is inserted into the groove ( 11 ). 
   
   
       6 . Device according to  claim 5 , characterized in that the holding element ( 123 ) has at least one holding lug ( 126 ) by means of which the holding element ( 123 ) can be attached to an edge ( 113 ) bordering the shoulder ( 110 ). 
   
   
       7 . Device according to  claim 1 , characterized in that the catch element ( 222 ) is configured in the manner of a fluke of a folding anchor. 
   
   
       8 . Device according to  claim 7 , characterized in that the catch element ( 222 ) for insertion into the groove ( 211 ) and/or for displacement along the groove ( 211 ) is received in a housing ( 224 ). 
   
   
       9 . Device according to  claim 1 , characterized in that the catch element ( 22 ,  122 ,  322 ,  422 ) is pivotable between a first position for insertion into the groove ( 11 ,  211 ) and a second position for reaching behind the undercut, formed by at least one shoulder ( 10 ,  110 ,  210 ), in the guide rail ( 1 ,  101 ,  201 ). 
   
   
       10 . Device according to  claim 9 , characterized in that the catch element ( 222 ,  322 ) is secured in at least one position by a securing element ( 224 ), in particular a closure latch or a spring. 
   
   
       11 . Device according to  claim 10 , characterized in that the securing provided by the closure element can be canceled by means of an operating element, in particular by means of an actuating button ( 325 ) or the like. 
   
   
       12 . Device according to  claim 1 , characterized in that the catch element ( 322 ) is pivotable by means of an axially displaceable actuating element, in particular by means of a button ( 325 ) or the like.
