Description

Ski theft has increased rapidly in recent years. The reason for this is the new generation of skis, the so-called carving skis are propagated and represent the last hit. These are new skis more expensive than the conventional ones. Apart from the fact that it's something new The carving skis are justified for the higher price because of their waist also more expensive to manufacture.

The carving development also leads to the fact that many ski instructors ever according to snow texture skis with a stronger or weaker Prefer your waist and teach this in the ski school. This leads to the good skier has several skis.

The increasing mobility with increased need and higher prices ver leads to theft.

The places of theft are very different just like the thieves are in distinguish their behavior.

On the slopes the skis are parked at the huts or you can leave them just lie in the snow after unbuckling. Because ski length and shoe size are proportional, the thief can quickly recognize a suitable ski, increases and drives off.

The restaurants at the mountain railway stations are often established. Be here the skis are stolen and you take the cable car down to the valley without closing your skis to use.

Other places for the theft are hotels, guest houses and apartment buildings.

It is common for the ski room to be in the basement and to be entered from the outside can. After removing the skis and shoes, the guest can use an internal staircase or lift to his room.

Access to the basement is usually closed at night, during the day but everyone uncontrollably enter the ski room and skis and ski poles remove unhindered.

Theft could be avoided with a special lock. The following requirements are imposed on such a ski lock from the described circumstances:

• a) The lock must be so stable that it can only be used with tools can be broken open.
• b) It must be difficult or difficult to transport skis, that it is e.g. B. can be noticed during transport with the mountain railway.
• c) It must work in ice and snow.  
• d) It must be on a solid object, such as. B. to attach ski stands be that the skis with the sticks can only be removed by force can.
• e) It must be attached to the skis without any technical changes can.

The patent application DE 39 31 184 A1 shows a clip closure in which the Skis are locked next to each other, but the poles are not connected are. The lock is long and can only be in a backpack or similar Containers are transported.

The patent application DE 42 38 857 A1 sets an assembly on the skis ahead, which makes the skis heavier. This arrangement should Make fabrication. The guarantee would go through self-assembly lost.

The same applies to applications G 8631038.0, DE 42 38 857 A1 and G 9308821.3.

To date, no ski lock is registered on the market or for protection that meets the requirements described.

The present invention has for its object a theft to find a fuse that meets and meets the requirements listed can be produced economically.

The ski lock ( 10 ) developed by me consists of a bracket made of hardened steel, at the end of which a lock or combination lock ( 1 ) is attached. A steel bolt ( 5 ), also made of hardened steel, is rotatable and slidably attached to the leg ( 2 ) opposite the lock or combination lock ( 1 ), so that the bracket can be opened completely. The lock or combination lock ( 1 ) on one side is fastened by means of a thread, as a result of which the leg length can be varied.

The eyelet with threaded sleeve ( 6 ) can be screwed into the threaded sleeve on the leg ( 4 ) to the desired size. Both legs ( 2 ) are connected by a threaded sleeve ( 3 ), so that the width of the bracket can be adjusted to the necessary size.

The adjustability has the advantage that the ski lock on the carving skis different width and thickness can be set.

It also makes it possible to narrow the gap between the ski and the lock hold in order to make the application of heavy tools impossible.

Since parts of the binding such. B. protrude the ski stoppers laterally, can Ski poles only at an angle when the ski lock is tight connect the ski.

A wire rope with 2 eyelets can also be connected to the ski lock described, which would make it possible to secure it against theft on the ski stand ( 7 ).

Of course, it would be more convenient if a wire rope ( 8 ) was used in the huts, mountain stations and especially in the ski cellars of the hotels, which is attached horizontally between the supports or on the wall at the level of the bindings.

You could then use the ski lock around the wire rope, the skis and the poles and would have a double backup.

The ski lock I developed meets all of the requirements listed.

It also offers the following advantages:

• a) Since it is made of hardened steel, it can only be done with complex Tool can be "cracked".
• b) The protruding sticks make the removal noticeable. A mountain railway cannot be used with it because the skis with the spread Sticks do not fit in the quiver of the cabins.
• c) A lock of this type also works in ice and snow.
• d) With an additional loop or a wire rope it can be attached to a ski stand be secured, so that a double fuse is achieved.
• e) It can be attached to any type of downhill ski due to the adjustability without interfering with the ski.
• f) It is small and light and can easily be stored in the pockets of a ski suit to be brought.
• g) A combination lock excludes the excuse for a thief that one has the Key lost.
