Abstract
The subject matter of the invention is a device and a method for storing a traction chain, more specifically a self-bracing traction chain. Such a device and such a method for storing the traction chain so that is occupies very little space are provided by having the traction chain (10) would into a plurality of side-by-side turns (14) about a winding apparatus (12) carried so as to be rotatable about its longitudinal axis.
Claims13
A method for storing a self-bracing traction chain,
- characterized in that the traction chain (10) is wound into a plurality of side-by-side turns (14) about a winding apparatus (12) that is carried so as to be rotatable about its longitudinal axis and in that adjacent links (16) of the traction chain (10) are wound so as to become offset relative to each other across the direction of movement (28) when the traction chain (10) is wound and/or unwound.
A device for storing a self-bracing traction chain,
- characterized by a winding apparatus (12) that is carried so as to be rotatable about its longitudinal axis for winding the traction chain (10) into a plurality of turns disposed side by side and
- in that a drum (12) is carried so as to be slidable across the direction of movement (28) of the traction chain (10).
A device for storing a self-bracing traction chain,
- characterized by a winding apparatus (12) that is carried so as to be rotatable about its longitudinal axis for winding the traction chain (10) into a plurality of turns disposed side by side and in that a drum (12) is guided on a screw drive (24).
A device for storing a self-bracing traction chain,
- characterized by a winding apparatus (12) that is carried so as to be rotatable about its longitudinal axis for winding the traction chain (10) into a plurality of turns disposed side by side and in that recesses (30) are provided in the surface of a drum (12).
A device for storing a self-bracing traction chain,
- characterized by a winding apparatus (12) that is carried so as to be rotatable about its longitudinal axis for winding the traction chain (10) into a plurality of turns disposed side by side and in that adjacent links (16) of the traction chain (10) are connected together so as to be slidable against each other across the direction of movement (28).
