Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a locking mechanism for an elongate member, and in particular a load bearing locking arrangement for removably fixing a flexible cable to an 5 object.
  • the present invention overcomes the abovementioned problems.
  • a connector for connecting a load bearing 25 elongate member to a load comprising a fixing member having a head, said connector further comprising a locking member having a recess for receiving said head and further defining a shoulder portion, said connector being arranged for selective operation in first and second configurations, wherein in said first configuration said fixing member is removable from said locking member, and in said second configuration, said head of said 30 fixing member bears against the shoulder of said locking member so as to prevent removal of the fixing member from said locking member.
  • a fixing member for use in said connector comprising a head and a body portion wherein said body portion is arranged and configured to be compressed onto said elongate member.
  • a locking member for use in said connector having a recess and further defining a shoulder portion.
  • the fixing member is preferably fixedly attached to said elongate member.
  • the fixing member is even more preferably fixedly attached to an elongate member by a hex lock. This utilises a crimping method such that the fixing member is crushed onto the wire rope to provide a strong join.
  • the elongate member is preferably flexible, and is preferably fabricated of wire rope.
  • the locking member preferably further comprises means for maintaining the head of said fixing member in said second configuration.
  • the means for maintaining the fixing member in the second configuration preferably comprises a pin arranged and configured to prevent movement of said fixing member in a substantially longitudinal direction to said elongate member.
  • the pin preferably comprises a threaded surface for co-operation with a corresponding thread on the inner surface of said locking member. This enables movement in a screwing motion of the pin from the first configuration to the second configuration and back.
  • a spacing means between the shoulder portion of said collar and the head of said fixing member.

  • a wire rope 2 is shown with the fixing member 4 fixedly attached thereto.
  • the fixing member 4 defines a hollow core, and is slid over the end of the wire rope 2.
  • the main body of the fixing member 4 is then crushed onto the rope 2 using a hex lock press, creating a join that is at least as strong as the wire rope 2 itself.
  • the opposing end of the fixing member 4 comprises a neck portion 6 and a head portion 8.
  • the neck portion 6 has a reduced diameter to the head portion 8 and is machined to the specified diameter.

  • the locking member 12 is generally shown as a hexagonal shape, however may by incorporated into a structural member such as an exercise bar, or into a load. Alternatively, it may be permanently or temporarily attached to the desired location.
  • the recess 14 for the head portion 8 is shaped such that the head portion may be inserted in a specific orientation, allowing rotation about its longitudinal axis only.
  • the neck portion 6 -A- of the fixing member 4 locates through an interjoined recess 16 of sufficient width to enable the neck portion 6 to slot therethrough.
  • This position, where the fixing member 4 is removable from the locking member 12 is defined as the first configuration.
  • the portion of the locking member 12 adjacent the recess 16 has a cutaway section providing a shoulder 18.
  • the shape of the cutaway section must be of sufficient width to enable the head 8 of the fixing member 2 to rest against the shoulder 18.

  • a particular example is PTFE.
  • This material may be a washer and may be added over the neck 6 before insertion into the locking portion 12. Alternatively, it may be provided adjacent the shoulder 18. In any event, this spacer enables the fixing member 2 to rotate within the locking member 12, which may be beneficial when utilising certain exercises in a multi gym for example.
  • this means may be a threaded nut 20.

Abstract

La présente invention concerne un élément de verrouillage (12) et en particulier un agencement de verrouillage autoporteur pour fixer de façon amovible un câble flexible à un objet. Un tel agencement peut notamment être observé dans les appareils de gymnastique multifonctions. La présente invention comprend un connecteur comprenant un élément de fixation (4) ayant une tête (8) et un élément de verrouillage (12) ayant un renfoncement (14) pour recevoir la tête (8) et définissant en outre une partie d’épaulement (18). Le connecteur est disposé pour fonctionner de façon sélective dans deux configurations, une dans laquelle l’élément de fixation peut être retiré de l’élément de verrouillage et une seconde configuration dans laquelle la tête de l’élément de fixation s’appuie contre l’élément de verrouillage pour empêcher le retrait de l’élément de fixation hors de l’élément de verrouillage.
