Abstract

Obstacle stand (100), in particular for equestrian sport, with a pole support (1) for the stepwise, height-adjustable mounting of obstacle supports, characterized in that the rod support (1) has at least two obstacle support surfaces (4).

Description

The invention relates to an obstacle stand, in particular for equestrian sport, with a step-by-step, height-adjustable obstacle support.

STATE OF THE ART

For show jumping, obstacle stands known per se are used that are similar 1 from a square, vertical rod support 1 and a corresponding stand base ( 3 ) consist of three or four struts. There are 4 holes on an obstacle support surface on the pole support 2 or similar devices that allow the attachment of a vertically adjustable obstacle support.

From the DE 20 2011 103 948 U1 For example, an obstacle support for attachment to an obstacle stand has become known. This obstacle support carries a mostly round rod made of wood or similar materials and, in conjunction with a second, mirror-inverted obstacle stand according to the above description with a corresponding obstacle support, forms an obstacle to be overcome for horse and rider.

In order to train the horse on the jump, at least 2 obstacle stands are required for a steep jump and at least four obstacle stands for an oxer, i.e. a long jump with two obstacle poles arranged in parallel.

Due to the fact that an obstacle stand has a considerable weight and several obstacles have to be set up for training in a complete course, setting up a course is associated with a considerable amount of effort and time, since one consists of an oxer and a steep jump The existing training unit already has six obstacles transported into the often 60 m long indoor arena and must be carried out again after the training so that the arena is not blocked and the floor can be maintained.

DISCLOSURE OF THE INVENTION

The object of the present invention is to minimize the effort and time required to set up an obstacle course.

This object is achieved on the basis of an obstacle stand according to the preamble of claim 1 in conjunction with the characterizing features. Advantageous further developments of the invention are given in the dependent claims.

The invention includes the technical teaching that the rod carrier has at least two obstacle support surfaces.

Against this background, the square stand belonging to the state of the art was changed to the effect that the existing obstacle support surface 4th was supplemented by at least one more, by two or three more levels, so that more than one or up to four sides of the obstacle stand with holes or another to attach an obstacle pole or the like to be overcome by horse and rider. serving support are equipped with a suitable device.

Advantageously, means for receiving obstacle poles are introduced or can be attached to the obstacle support surface, in particular designed as holes. It is also advantageous that the bar support has a triangular, rectangular, square, pentagonal, hexagonal, heptagonal or octagonal or round cross section, in particular depending on how many directions the attachable obstacle poles should protrude.

A stand foot is also provided which spans a floor-side installation plane, the rod carrier extending perpendicularly out of the installation plane. Furthermore, the obstacle stand is made of metal, in particular aluminum, or of plastic.

In addition, at least two obstacle bearing surfaces of the rod carrier each form a flat surface. At least two obstacle bearing surfaces of the rod carrier enclose an angle to one another, in particular an angle of 90 °. In addition, it can be provided that the holes of the multiple obstacle bearing surfaces have the same height position relative to one another on the rod carrier.

In the in 2 In the variant shown, the stand is provided with corresponding holes on all four sides for attaching an obstacle support and thus has four obstacle support surfaces 4th , so that four obstacles can be created in a cross-shaped arrangement with the help of five obstacle stands, see 3 .

In order to achieve even more flexibility in the design of the course by not only placing the obstacles as in 3 can be arranged at right angles to each other, the present invention provides in addition to the obstacle stands equipped with four obstacle support surfaces also obstacle stands with more than four obstacle support surfaces, so that the obstacle stand of the present invention also has a five, six, seven or eightfold cross section May have the longitudinal axis of the rod carrier, so that the cross section forms a polygon and in the latter case corresponds to an octagon.

In 4th is accordingly one of seven obstacle stands 100 and six obstacle poles existing constellation shown as an exemplary course arrangement. When using the obstacle stand known from the prior art, twelve obstacle stands would be required for six obstacles, while when using the obstacle stand resulting from the invention a total of only six obstacle stands are required, so that both the material and the time expenditure can be reduced considerably.

Further measures improving the invention are shown in more detail below together with the description of a preferred exemplary embodiment of the invention with reference to the figures. It shows:

• 1 a state-of-the-art obstacle stand,
• 2 an obstacle stand in a variant of the underlying invention provided with four obstacle support surfaces,
• 3 an exemplary course arrangement resulting from the first variant of the obstacle stand, which is provided with four obstacle support surfaces, in which only five obstacle stands are required to set up a small course consisting of four obstacles for training a horse;
• 4th a perspective view of an exemplary course arrangement which, through the octagonal cross-section of the obstacle stand, enables expanded lines, since further obstacles can be attached to the obstacle stand.

The embodiment of the invention is not limited to the preferred exemplary embodiment specified above. Rather, a number of variants are conceivable which make use of the solution shown even in the case of fundamentally different designs. All of the features and / or advantages arising from the claims, the description or the drawings, including structural details or spatial arrangements, can be essential to the invention both individually and in a wide variety of combinations.
