Abstract: A device for measuring the tension in a tensioning belt comprises a retaining device for retaining a spring element, an elastically deformable spring element that is retained by the retaining device and on which a section of the tensioning belt can apply a force and elastically deform the spring element, the ends of the spring element being moved closer to one another when the tensioning force increases, and an electronic sensor unit. The sensor unit comprises a sensor system that measures the deflection of the spring element and generates a data signal, and a transmitter for transmitting the data signal to a receiving unit. The sensor system is situated at the ends of the spring element.

Abstract: A tension absorber produced from a flexible strand which is only loadable under tension and which tension absorber possesses the advantages of a chain formed from strand material but can be easily and cost-effectively produced. The strand is folded into three or more loop sections. Proceeding from the beginning of the strand a succeeding loop section arranged offset in the direction of the end of the strand follows each preceding loop section arranged offset in the direction of the beginning, until the last loop section has been reached. Each loop section has a loop which encloses a loop opening. At least one bow is formed from the strand by guiding a succeeding loop section by its loop through the loop opening of a preceding loop section arranged adjacent to it.

Abstract: A clamping lock for a tensioning means with a housing comprising two cheek parts arranged at a distance from each other, a stop web extending between the cheek parts and a pivot spindle likewise extending between the cheek parts and a comb element pivotably mounted on the pivot spindle of the housing. The clamping lock can be manufactured in a simple manner and at the same time has a compact, easily manageable design because there is a reinforcing insert at least in the region of the cheek parts of the stop web and of the pivot spindle of the housing, said reinforcing insert being surrounded by a plastics material casing and comprises a material which is firmer than the plastics material casing.

Abstract: A load securing element with a base body includes a coupling portion for coupling a stop means, a support portion provided for insertion into an opening, and a connecting portion, which connects the coupling portion and the support portion to one another and thus keeps them spaced apart in such a way that a slot-like receiver is formed on the base body. The receiver is delimited at its upper side by the coupling portion, at its lower side by the support portion and at its rear by the connecting portion and is otherwise open, wherein the width of the receiver corresponds to a multiple of its height.

Abstract: A textile protective sheath for a lifting accessory such as a roundsling, lifting strap or the like, having a woven base fabric and at least one rib which is carried by the woven base fabric, which rib projects outwards from the woven base fabric and is formed by a rib fiber which is interwoven with the woven base fabric, wherein the rib fiber is a high-performance fiber and, looking in the direction in which the rib fiber runs, the rib fiber skips at least three weft filaments at a time of the woven base fabric before it is drawn down below a weft filament of the woven base fabric.

Abstract: In a textile protective sheath for a lifting accessory such as a roundsling (1), lifting strap or the like, which lifting accessory has a woven base fabric (4) and at least one rib (5) which is carried by the woven base fabric (4), which rib (5) projects outwards from the woven base fabric (4) and is formed by a rib fibre (H1, H2) which is interwoven with the woven base fabric (4), optimised protection against cuts with, at the same time, good properties in use and the ability to be produced easily and inexpensively is achieved in accordance with the invention by virtue of the fact that the rib fibre (H1, H2) is a high-performance fibre and, looking in the direction (L) in which the rib fibre (H1, H2) runs, the rib fibre (H1, H2) skips at least three weft filaments (6, 6a-6l) at a time of the woven base fabric (4) before it is drawn down below a weft filament (6) of the woven base fabric.

Abstract: A tensioning ratchet for tautening and holding tensioning means, such as webbings, extruded straps, ropes, chains and the like, includes a console, with a winding-on shaft, rotatably mounted in the console, which is formed by at least two direction reversal bars, delimiting a distance between one another, and with a tensioning lever for turning the winding-on shaft about an axis of rotation. The tensioning ratchet according to the invention withstands a higher load and enables high pre-tensioning forces to be applied while preventing inadmissible stress on the user. This is achieved by the fact that the position at least of the outer circumferential face of the direction reversal bars coming into contact with the tensioning means, is variable.

Abstract: In this device for indicating (10) pretensioning forces in a tensioning element (7), such as tie-down straps or tie-down ropes, the spring surrounds the tie bolt (3) which is located on the loop of the tie-down strap, and in response to weak forces describes a path (6) which is easily visible. The combination of two components which differ in shape allows the spring (1) to maintain its shape and spring constant. As a result, the pretensioning force is indicated directly, yet the spring is not subject to an additional load under high tensions but is protected by positive engagement.

Abstract: In this device for indicating (10) pretensioning forces in a tensioning element (7), such as tie-sown straps or tie-down ropes, the spring surrounds the tie bolt (3) which is located on the loop of the tie-down strap, and in response to weak forces describes a path (6) which is easily visible. The combination of two components which differ in shape allows the spring (1) to maintain its shape and spring constant.

Abstract: A ratcheted lashing strap assembly is described. The assembly is formed of a lashing strap and a tightening device. The tightening device has a frame and a winding drum, rotatable in the frame, for winding up the lashing strap. A fixation end of the lashing strap, in the form of a loop, grips a retention strut that is parallel to the winding drum and is firmly attached to the frame. An eye of the loop is penetrated by a support strut, extending approximately parallel to the retention strut, that as a separate component from the tightening device protrudes by both ends from the loop eyelet and on the side opposite the winding drum from the cinching side is braced on the frame on the retention strut and assumes a variable distance from the retention strut. An end run, adjoining a loop foot, of the lashing strap is fixed in clamping fashion by the support strut between the loop and the lashing strap to be cinched.
