SLOWING DEVICE FOR SLOWING SCROLLING SPEED OF BELT OF BARRIER POLE
A slowing device for slowing scrolling speed of belt of barrier poles includes a storage unit having a rotor to which the belt is wrapped. The rotor has an axle extending therefrom and located in the room of the storage unit. The rotor scrolls the belt backward when the belt is released. The slowing device is located in the storage unit and has two braking pieces which contact the inner wall of the room due to centrifugal force so that the belt does not move at high speed and does not injure people when being pulled or retracted.
The present invention relates to a slowing device, and more particularly, to a slowing device for slowing scrolling speed of the belt of barrier poles.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTIONThe conventional belt-type barrier 9 is disclosed in
The present invention intends to provide a slowing device for slowing the scrolling speed of the belt of the belt-type barrier poles and which is easily operated and manufactured.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTIONThe present invention relates to a slowing device for slowing scrolling speed of the belt of barrier poles and comprises a storage unit having a rotor located therein and the rotor has an axle which extends into a room in the storage unit. A belt is scrolled to the rotor and the rotor scrolls the belt backward when the belt is released. The slowing device is located in the room and has at least two braking pieces and a guide member. The at least two braking pieces are connected to two wing rods of the guide member which is secured at the center of the room.
Preferably, the braking pieces each are a crescent piece, the guide member 31 is a circular cylindrical rod and the two wing rods extend horizontally from the circular cylindrical rod. Each of the at least two braking pieces has a connection hole and the wing rods are connected to the connection holes of the at least two braking pieces.
The rotor is rotated to rotate the slowing device and the at least two braking pieces move away from the guide member by centrifugal force and contact the inner wall of the room to slow the belt.
Preferably, the room is defined by a top cap and a mediate part, wherein the top cap has a disk and a flange extends from the underside of the disk. The flange is inserted into the recessed area of the mediate part to form the room. The at least two braking pieces contact the inner wall of the flange of the room when the rotor rotates. The guide has a hexagonal rod extending from the underside thereof. The hexagonal rod extends through the central hole of the mediate part. The rotor has a hexagonal hole defined in the axle and the hexagonal rod is connected to the hexagonal hole of the axle so that the rotor can drive the slowing device. The top cap and the mediate part are fixed to the top of the storage unit by multiple bolts.
The present invention will become more obvious from the following description when taken in connection with the accompanying drawings which show, for purposes of illustration only, a preferred embodiment in accordance with the present invention.
Referring to
The storage unit 10 is located in a case 1 on the top of the pole 4 and has a rotor 11 located therein. The rotor 11 is cooperated with a torsion spring 16 as shown in
The belt 2 is scrolled to the rotor 11 in the storage unit 10. The hook 20 of the belt 2 is located outside of the case 1 so that the users can easily pull the belt 2 and hook the belt 2 to another storage unit 10. The rotor 11 scrolls the belt 2 backward by the torsion spring 16 when the belt 2 is released.
The slowing device 3 and the axle 111 of the rotor 11 are both located in the room 12 and the slowing device 3 has at least two braking pieces 32 and a guide member 31. The at least two braking pieces 32 are connected to two wing rods 311 of the guide member 31. The at least two braking pieces 32 each are a crescent piece. The top of the guide member 31 is pivotably connected to a first central hole 133 of the top cap 13. The guide member 31 is a circular cylindrical rod and the two wing rods 311 extend horizontally from the circular cylindrical rod of the guide member 31 in opposite directions. Each of the at least two braking pieces 32 has a connection hole 321 which is located corresponding to the wing rod 311 corresponding thereto. The wing rods 311 are connected to the connection holes 321 of the at least two braking pieces 32. Because the hexagonal rod 312 extends through the second central hole 142 of the mediate part 14, the rotor 11 has a hexagonal hole 112 defined in the axle 111, and the hexagonal rod 312 is connected to the hexagonal hole 112 of the axle 111. The axle 111 can drive the slowing device 3.
As shown in
As shown in
As shown in
The flange 132 of the top cap 13 is inserted to the recessed area 141 of the mediate part 14, and the hexagonal rod 312 of the guide member 31 extends through the second central hole 142 of the mediate part 14 and is connected to the hexagonal hole 112 of the axle 111, so that axle 111 of the rotor 11 can rotate the slowing device 3. The top cap 13 and the mediate part 14 are connected to the top of the storage unit 10 so that the assembly is easy.
While we have shown and described the embodiment in accordance with the present invention, it should be clear to those skilled in the art that further embodiments may be made without departing from the scope of the present invention.
