Abstract
In order, in an eyebolt, to enable an alignment of the connecting eyelet (2) in the direction of the forces induced in it, the eyebolt comprises two parts disposed rotatably in relation to each other, of which one forms the connecting eyelet (2) and one an anchor bolt (3), the head (6) of which is supported, by means of an annular flange (62), on a supporting surface of the eyelet base (21) of the connecting eyelet (2). The securement of the cohesion of the connecting eyelet (2) and of the anchor bolt (3) is served by at least one locking element (9).
Claims20
An eyebolt for lifting or lashing purposes, said eyebolt having a connecting eyelet with an integral base (21) defining an insertion opening (1) for an anchor bolt (3);
- an anchor bolt comprising a head (6) forming an annular flange (62), a cylindrical segment (61) adjoined to said annular flange (62) and having a smaller diameter than said annular flange (62), and a threaded journal (31) adjoined to said cylindrical segment (61), which threaded journal serves to fasten the eyebolt to an object, the insertion opening forming a circumferential supporting surface (4) at the periphery thereof for a counter-face (5) formed by said annular flange of said head (6);
- wherein the cylindrical segment (61) of the anchor bolt (3) has a larger diameter than its threaded journal (31), and wherein the end of the cylindrical segment (61) of the anchor bolt facing away from the annular flange (62), in a fitted state of the eyebolt, forms a bearing surface (10) extending beyond an underside (11) of the base (21) of the connecting eyelet (2) to allow free rotational movement of said connecting eyelet (2) on said cylindrical segment (61) of the anchor bolt (3).
