The innovation concerns a jump obstacle, preferably for equestrian sport, especially uin bar obstacles As a hurdle, gate, fence or wall with wooden supports arranged across the direction of the jump.

Jumping obstacles for equestrian sport or in the Hümsrispcrt, for example as a hurdle in hurdles or to deviate Fende bar when high jump, are usually made Made of wood. There are a number of things that adhere to wood of disadvantages which, when summarized, exist:

1. Wood is sensitive to weathering and is affected by the Alternation of sun and rain cracks and tends to rot, especially with the parts close to the ground. Even a protective or for marking or decorating applied paint is exposed to sun, rain and wind soon unsightly and ineffective, so that these obstacles, which are constantly in the open, mostly Have to be painted twice a year and still weather quickly.

2. Wood splinters when the bars break and therefore often leads to dangerous and painful injuries in animals and humans.

The object of the innovation is therefore based on the task of 'avoiding these disadvantages and preventing a jump

To have nts that are resistant to weathering and largely is insensitive to breakage and, if possible, to none Injury fifth, 5oi ate it but sirs break.

This task is done with a jumping obstacle, preferably for equestrian sports, especially a StangOnhlndernts solved as a horde, gate, fence or wall with wooden supports arranged transversely to the direction of the jump, daö is characterized in that at least the wooden parts of the obstacle with an elastic weatherproof Material are covered.

By wrapping with an elastic, weather-resistant Material in the sense of the innovation ensures that no exposure to the weather affects the durability of the wood. In particular affect the parts close to the ground can, even if they are left outside all year round and in all weathers, paint applications and markings are valued and in particular the risk of injury rises I is diminished because the wrapping of the pole gives an additional hold and makes them less susceptible to breakage power. Even if the rod breaks, however, the envelope usually remains because of its elasticity still preserved and thus prevents sharp wooden tugs from sticking out and causing flesh wounds, which are severe bright and be! valuable animals such as competition horses »often require a killing.

As elastic, weather-resistant materials come in particular Consider foam based on polystyrene or polyurethane, rubber-elastic! See materials, like natural or synthetic rubber, but above all Plastic films. Several of these can expediently Combined materials are used for the purpose of the innovation, such as foam and Plastic oils. The foam forms expediently

the casing lying next to the wood and is called such to the outside through the stronger plastic film covered. The wooden parts can be wrapped with these two materials one after the other. Foam and plastic film but can also form the envelope as a so-called composite film in a preferred embodiment, see above that only a single operation is required for the application.

The new commodity has special advantages an envelope made of plastic film. Once there is this material easy and economical to manufacture, for example in the blow molding process; then it has the further advantage to be transparent so that the wooden rod can be provided with the usual paintwork or markings and then through the film from the weather are protected. In this way, luminous colors can also be used very well and protected. Appropriate W'trdeman use a film for the wrapping, in addition Is protected against the effects of UV rays by incorporating UV-Stabi I isatorei / during manufacture will be.

A particularly preferred embodiment of the new article is that the jump obstacle or at least the wooden parts are shrink-wrapped in shrink film. This embodiment is therefore so advantageous because the The film tightens up when it shrinks due to the action of heat the wooden bar shrinks, adapts to every unevenness and sits like a tight skin on the wood. The wrapping and shrink-fitting can be done on the single rod. But it is book possible and often useful, the whole obstacle with the elastic, weather-resistant material too envelop and advantageously shrink, so that for example in the case of a Star.genhi change is for equestrian sport too the side stands are completely covered by the elastic material and the particularly vulnerable foot parts are also protected are. The shrinking takes place in a known manner.

that the jumping obstacle covered with foil or the bars be passed through a shrink oven. But it is also possible to partially shrink the obstacle, for example n =! t a «HelSaasstrahl, Der The advantage of this way of working is that even existing and already built obstacles can be retrofitted shrunk in place and thus reworked into the new commodity.

Ultimately, all known weatherproof films are used as plastic films Slides into consideration. Preference is given to their economical production and excellent properties Properties because of, in particular also their shrinkability because of films based on polyolefins, such as Polyethylene and polypropylene and polyvinyl chloride. Polyvinyl chloride is expediently used in the pre-stretched state and thus guarantees safe shrinking even with larger film thicknesses.

Even if the advantage of wrapping with plastic film is straight lies in the fact that paint applications and markings beforehand are applied and then protected by the film, it is, on the other hand, also possible to use profiled plastic films to use for the wrapping, for example Plastic sheeting with ribs. These profiled plastic films are also useful again on the jump obstacle shrunk and as such can be different in strip form colored *.

The innovation is preferably shown above using the example of Wooden parts of a jump obstacle have been described that have the shape of a hurdle, gate, fence or a wall can have. However, any other shape is also conceivable, and it is within the scope of the invention that not only the wooden poles are covered with plastic materials, but also all other parts of the obstacle

borrowed any metal parts that came with it at the same time

Are protected from corrosion. "-.

The innovation generally has the advantage of the most varied Color and material combinations too enable. So there is an expedient execution]

shape in an obstacle where the pieces of wood or j

the entire obstacle has different colored areas from j

Have foam plastic, be it in Strelfenform or in a completely irregular distribution and that of a plastic sheet overlaying these areas with wrapped, appropriately shrunk. Included can the foam plastic made from commercially available Ibahn or strip-shaped materials can be applied. Another preferred method is to use foamed polyurethane, which is available in a wide variety of Coloration is available to spray on. It results a perfect seal and good from the start Adhesion, so that in this case additional shrinkage in plastic film is not absolutely necessary is.

Another simple and useful embodiment of the The innovation is that two different colored foils are arranged at least in places one above the other and as a result, for example, a two-tone striped pattern is achieved without any or with only one coat of paint.

In the case of complex shapes of the jump obstacle it may be expedient to make the obstacle in elastic, weather-resistant Wrap the material in strip form and then if you use shrinkable plastic oil Ie to shrink.

Some preferred embodiments are in the following illustrated drawings, namely using the example of a simple wooden pole, a gate and a wall, without affecting the novelty shown Executions is limited. Above all, in addition to the wooden parts, all other parts of the obstacle, in particular also metal parts, encased by the elastic, weather-resistant material and, for example protected against corrosion sen. Heal with the Ho ί z- " is particularly advantageous that there is no special processing, such as planing, painting or impregnation, needs, but the raw wood can be used.
