Padding for high jump poles and hurdles etc.

The present innovation relates to an improvement in particular of high jump facilities.

High jump poles (pole vault bars, hurdles) are made of hard material such as wood or metal. In practice, it happens again and again that training injuries occur as a result. The practitioners hit _{the obstacle - 4} with their extremities or, for example, with the Fosbury flop, fall with their spine onto the high jump pole that has been dragged along. In the pole vault, the bar often falls on the jumper from considerable heights. The present innovation provides a remedy here in a very simple but equally effective way.

The innovation concerns a padding for high jump poles and hurdles, etc. It is characterized in that from one

«I« III

Foam core with internal recess for the bar (the obstacle) and a water-repellent laminate layer consists.

This lamination layer also has the task of reinforcing the sensitive foam material on the surface, how to make sure that it doesn't soak in water and spoil the upholstery. It therefore preferably exists Made of plastic (soft plastic), it can be glued on, but it can also be pushed on loosely.

For easier assembly and disassembly - for competition is provided, the tubular upholstered body in the longitudinal direction to slit. It then only needs to be bent up and pushed onto the rod. Because of the elasticity of the composite, it snaps around the bar and creates the upholstery.

But it is also possible to have this slot with a lock like encircling straps or a zipper.

It is also planned to provide the upholstery with side panels. Preferably these exist but made of a material that is just as soft as the foam in order to provide good padding in the edge area achieve.

The innovation is to be explained in more detail according to the following figures.

Fig. 1 shows a section through rod and padding;

Fig. 2 shows a perspective view.

1 with a high jump pole is referred to. This is surrounded by foam 2. The foam surrounds the laminating layer 3. This creates excellent protection against injury.

It should also be pointed out that the laminating layer is more essential Is part of the upholstery. Since they are designed to be harder or less elastic than the soft foam, it distributes the pressure of the impact over a larger area and thus significantly reduces the force. The disks 4 are attached to the side.

In the perspective view of Fig. 2 is a contrasting, Coloring 5 that triggers the signaling effect; 6, which should make it easier for the trainee to skip.
