Description

The invention relates to a component for mounting climbing walls with a plurality of separate climbing segments, wherein at least one climbing segment is mounted on a supporting wall and wherein this fixed climbing segment is connected to at least one adjacent climbing segment.

Climbing is practiced in addition to conventional climbing on natural rock formations in sports halls and similar recreational facilities. This results in advantages in terms of travel, independence of weather conditions and safety when climbing. Numerous devices are already available for such applications.

DE 195 27 510 A1 describes a climbing pole unit in which additional climbing wall modules are arranged in the free space between adjacent climbing poles.

Out DE 20 2004 005 381 U1 is a climbing wall with several segments known, each guided on the floor and on the ceiling of a sports hall in rails. Thus, for climbing exercises over the entire height of the sports hall extending surface can be created. When not using the climbing wall, the climbing segments can be moved into a laterally arranged area.

While in the aforementioned construction, the climbing segments are horizontally displaceable describes DE 101 08 432 A1 a climbing wall, which can be at least partially shifted upwards when not in use. For this purpose, this hoistable climbing wall has two separate plate-shaped segments, of which the upper segment is fixedly mounted on the wall. The lower segment is pulled when not using the climbing wall up in an area that is not freely accessible due to its height. Thus, an unauthorized use of the climbing wall is effectively prevented.

A similar basic principle is in accordance with the climbing wall DE 103 37 303 B3 realized. This climbing wall has in the region of the upper climbing segment on a free space in the contour of a vertically displaceable carriage is arranged, on which the lower climbing segment is supported.

Regardless of the specific design of a climbing wall often arise problems in the assembly, if the climbing wall is assembled from several segments, of which at least two adjacent segments must be firmly mounted on a wall of the sports hall. In sports halls and similar facilities, the walls are mostly not completely flat. This results in an angular offset between two adjacent segments, provided that the segments are mounted directly on the wall. This offset is disadvantageous if a plane climbing surface is desired. However, it is also possible that a defined angular offset is intended between two adjacent segments in order, for example, to be able to train climbing on an overhang. For such embodiments, the hitherto available technical solutions are either not suitable or they require a considerable effort in terms of cost and assembly costs.

The object of the invention is to provide a technical solution can be locked to each other with the adjacent sections of an assembled from several segments climbing wall with a low technical equipment and financial outlay in a defined angular position.

This object is achieved by assigning the climbing segments to be joined together a wooden hinge having two hinge plates, which are mutually operatively connected via tongue and groove contours, each hinge plate is fixedly connected to one climbing segment, each in the free end Tongue and groove contour of the hinge plates is designed in the longitudinal direction of the connecting element opening and wherein in this opening a clamping element is supported, with which the two hinge plates are locked to each other in a definable angular position. Advantageous embodiments are the subject of dependent claims, which are explained in more detail in the embodiment.

The inventive element for mounting climbing walls makes it possible to connect the adjacent sections of an assembled from several segments climbing wall with a low technical equipment and financial outlay together and lock each other in a freely selectable angular position. Thus, it is now irrelevant whether the load-bearing walls of a sports hall or similar device are completely flat or whether only slightly less accurately executed wall sections are available for installation. Consequently, regardless of the concrete wall contour, large areas can be realized with vertically completely straight climbing planes. Likewise, defined angle between two adjacent climbing segments can be realized in a simple manner, for example, allow climbing on the overhang.

An embodiment of the invention is illustrated in the drawing and will be described below. Show it:

1 the basic structure of a device according to the invention in an exploded view

2 a device according to 1 in the operatively assembled state

3 a device according to 1 with associated climbing segments

The component shown in the drawing is suitable for mounting climbing walls with several separate climbing segments. At least one climbing segment is mounted on a supporting wall, which is not shown in detail in the drawing. The mounted climbing segment should be connected to at least one adjacent climbing segment.

The climbing segments to be joined together 1 and 2 becomes a wooden hinge 3 assigned, which consists for example of a plywood association. The basic structure of the individual parts of the wooden hinge 3 is out 1 apparent and the operatively mounted state 2 ,

Consequently, the wood hinge points 3 two hinged plates 4 and 5 each with several tongue and groove contours 6 on. About these tongue and groove contours 6 stand the two hinged plates 4 and 5 in operative connection with each other. In the free end section of each tongue and groove contour 6 the hinge plates 4 and 5 is an opening 7 designed in the longitudinal direction of the wooden hinge 3 trained connecting element runs. In this opening 7 is a tensioning element 8th is supported, with which the two hinge plates 4 and 5 can be locked in relation to each other in an angular position which can be selected taking into account the concrete installation position.

As tensioning element 8th is preferably a screw 9 used by a mother 10 is clamped. Alternatively, in the opening 7 the tongue and groove contours 6 Also, a bolt can be arranged, the excess of the inner diameter of the opening 7 having. Thus, a position fixation of the hinge plates 4 and 5 caused by self-clamping.

Each hinge plate 4 and 5 is each with a climbing segment 1 respectively. 2 firmly connected. This can be done according to, for example 3 with a screw connection 11 done by each hinge plate 4 ; 5 on the opposite of the climbing surface arranged rear of the respective associated climbing segment 1 ; 2 is screwed on. The fixed connection between the hinge plates 4 and 5 Position-fixed angle also on the climbing segments 1 and 2 realized with identical angular position, in 3 For example, only an arrangement with two such climbing segments 1 and 2 is shown
