Feder, Jörg, Holunderäcker 26, 34225 Baunatal "Guide bracket for ropes"

The innovation concerns a guide bracket for ropes, especially

especially for falling rigging on sailing boats.

The typical sound heard from the harbors of sailing boats, especially sailing boats, is the clattering or banging sound of falling rigging, which is caused by

wind or due to the pendulum movement of the boats against the boat masts. The falling rigging remains in its arrangement even when not in use, similar to the situation with flagpoles: The falling rigging, for example for hoisting sails or flags, is only deflected

points. When the sail or flag is hoisted, certain sections of this running rigging are located next to the mast, but when the flag or sail is stowed, the falling rigging is not removed or dismantled, but rather only other sections of this

rope adjacent to the mast.

The background noise described above is often perceived as disturbing, especially when it makes it difficult or even impossible to sleep at night.

In practice, it is known to tension the falling rigging along the shrouds of a sailing boat, e.g. using auxiliary lines. In order to be able to use these auxiliary lines comfortably, the falling rigging is relatively low from about the top of the mast

downwards and laterally outwards to the shroud, so that the headroom for the crew is considerably restricted when they want to move around on deck.

As an alternative, it is known to attach the running rigging to the spreaders

The problem here is that

the rope of the falling rigging that is needed next may be obstructed by the remaining, unnecessary rope, which is also wrapped around the crosstree.

A further problem with this determination of the falling rigging is the poor accessibility of the crossbar, so that for reasons of convenience the noise pollution may be accepted or that reaching the crossbar and handling the running rigging wrapped around the crossbar is associated with the risk of accidents.

The innovation is based on the task of creating a guide bracket for ropes with which this rope, for example falling rigging on sailing boats, can be easily secured and released, whereby unused halyards can be used without restriction.

the function of the remaining rope, and the guide bracket can be easily and permanently attached and the resulting guidance of the halyards does not interfere with the movement of the crew on deck, but still prevents unused halyards from hitting the mast

reliably prevented.

This problem underlying the innovation is solved by a guide bracket with the features of claim 1.

In other words, the innovation proposes to create an aid that can be installed on the boat in the form of a guide bracket, which can remain mounted on the boat, and around which the halyards can be guided.

This makes it possible to arrange the guide bar in places on the boat that are generally difficult to reach, so that later the falling goods can be guided along the guide section of the guide bar relatively easily and safely. Since the halyards are handled from the deck

It is not necessary for the crew to

to go to the generally difficult to reach place where the guide bar is located.

Because the guide section is angled from the part of the boat where the mounting section is attached

a projection is formed onto which the falling rigging can be placed and easily kept away from the mast.

The mounting section can advantageously have a U-shaped cross-section so that it can be attached, for example, to the spreader of the

boat can be attached.

A particularly simple and tool-free installation is possible with the help of cable ties or similar retaining straps, whereby guide

lugs can be provided for such a retaining strap so that it cannot slip off the mounting section.

In particular, the secure fixation of the retaining strap can be ensured if it is not only wrapped around the outside of the

guide bracket, but also through a through-opening, which can be formed, for example, in the root area in which the guide section adjoins the mounting section.

The assembly of the guide bracket can be simplified if the assembly section is elongated and has at least two guide sections. In practice, the use of several guide sections is usually provided, so that it is particularly easy to

guide sections on a common elongated assembly section. In this way, the desired distance between the guide sections is ensured at the factory, which ensures the safe and simple assignment of the individual guide sections, so that

is that individual guide brackets with each

a single guide section under the load of occupied traps and occupy an undesirably small distance from each other.

Advantageously, the guide section can be curved.

This ensures that the trap is guided safely and prevents the trap from becoming too tight and being difficult to release from a guide section arranged at such an acute angle.

A groove in the apex line of the mounting section provides great flexibility for this mounting section, so that it can be easily attached to spreaders of different sizes.

In particular, such flexibility is made possible if the groove completely penetrates the wall of the mounting section, i.e. is designed as a slot in the mounting section, whereby this slot advantageously extends into the guide section(s). In this design,

It may be possible to connect two halves of the guide bar together only in the free outer end of the guide section, so that a particularly highly flexible deformation of the guide bar and thus a particularly good adaptation to the spreader to which the guide bar is attached is ensured.

shall be.

An example of the innovation is explained in more detail below using the drawing. 30

In Fig. 1, 1 designates an assembly section which - as can be seen from

Fig. 2 can be seen in more detail - is U-shaped overall, with

a slot 2 runs along the apex line of this U-shaped assembly section 1, which divides the assembly section 1 into two basically separate half shells. Two guide sections 3 extend from the apex area of this assembly section 1, which are curved in a hook shape and have a

The guide bracket, designated as a whole with 5, can be attached to a spreader of a sailing boat, whereby the guide bracket 5, in particular the mounting section 1, can be widened and bent open in order to optimally follow the cross-sectional shape of the spreader. For this purpose, the slot 2 extends not only through the mounting section 1, but also into the guide sections 3, as can be seen from

As can be seen in Fig. 2.

The guide bracket 5 is attached to the spreader using straps (not shown for reasons of clarity), such as standard cable ties.

openings 6 to prevent the straps from slipping.

The number and distances between the individual guide lugs 7 ensure easy deformability of the assembly

section 1 for easy adaptation to the cross-sectional geometry of the respective spreader.
