Abstract

1. Start sheet having an up haul or pull line, which is securable to the boom, and a rubber cord, which is secured at one end to the pull line, for securing the start sheet in a position parallel to the mast of a surfboard, characterized in that the rubber cord (11) is loosely inserted into a coaxial bore (23) inside the pull line (3), the upper end being connected to the pull line (3) in the bore (23) or at the end of the bore (23), and the lower free end extending from the bore (23) and being securable to the foot of the mast.

Start pod
***********

The invention relates to a launch pad for lifting the sail of a surfboard.

A start sheet for surfboards is already known, which has a core made of rubber and a jacket braided around it and which on the one hand on the boom and on the other hand is attached to the base of the mast. It is true that this sheet is essentially taut on the mast while surfing on, but pulling up the mast lying in the water with the elastic sheet proves to be unsuitable, because after being detached from the surface of the water, the tightly tensioned rubber rope suddenly shoots up the sail.

There is also a starting sheet made of a longitudinally stable rope and one attached to the base of the mast halfway along the length of the rope leading rubber band or rope known. In this version, only the upper half of the rope is kept taut;

Meanwhile, the free lower end hangs loosely dangling.

I.

The object of this invention is to remedy these disadvantages.

This problem is solved by a starting sheet with the characterizing features of the patent claims.

The starting pod according to the invention is not in use always stretched between the attachment points; when used, the one acting on the end of the rope or at any point Pulling force immediately and without previous stretching

transferred to the mast.

With two illustrated exemplary embodiments from the start

pods the invention is explained in more detail. Show it -

Figure 1 shows a starting pod with a smooth surface,

Figure 2 shows a cross section along line II-II in Figure 1,

FIG. 3 shows a longitudinal section through a starting pod knobbed surface and

FIG. 4 a start sheet attached to a surfboard. The starting sheet 1 shown in Figure 1 consists of

a stretchable pull rope 3, which at one end a has tapered section 5 for fastening the pod 1 to the boom 7 of a surfboard 9. In the train part 1, which is hollow, i.e. tubular, a rubber cord 11 is inserted and at the end of the pull cord 3, where this tapers, fastened. The other free end of the rubber cord 11, which is longer in the unstretched state than the pull rope 3 is provided with a thimble 13 and / or a hook 15. The pull rope 3 can consist of a stretch-free Rubber hose or a soft rubber or plastic hose that is braided with a plastic jacket 17 is exist.

The inner end of the rubber cord 11 can also be braided into the stretch-free, tapered end 5 of the pod 1 be.

Instead of a pull rope 3 with a cylindrical surface, one with essentially spherical thickenings can be used 19 can be used (Fig. 2). The thickenings 19, which ensure a good grip, can be made from consist of plastic bodies placed on the pull rope 3. It is also possible to use the pull cord 3 when it is made is to be provided with thickenings 19.

The elastic cord 11 is also in this embodiment

loosely in a hole 23 running in the pull rope 3 and is S?

i ' attached to the tapered section 5. The pull rope 3 and the section 5 des- '; same are preferably made of a braided sheath 17 '

enclosed.

The starting sheet 1 according to the invention is fastened with a knot attached to the fork tree 7 with the thin section 5. The other end, which is formed by the end of the elastic cord 11, which is led out of the pull rope 3, is attached to the foot of the mast 25 with the hook 15, namely as follows, that the start sheet 1 is slightly stretched and not on

Mast 25 dangles. i

If the sail 27 falls into the water, the surfer grabs the pull rope 3 and pulls the sail 27 up on it. When capturing ' the starting sheet 1 can immediately transmit a tensile force to the boom 7, because the pull rope 3 and the section 5 are stretch-free. When lifting the lower end of the start sheet lying parallel to the mast 25 in the water 1, the very elastic and long rubber cord 11 expands in the pull cord 3 and partially slides out of it so that the latter always remains stretched and the tensile force is transferred to the mast 25.

The rope according to the invention can of course not be used

can only be used as a starting sheet 1 on surfboards 9, but also for other purposes, in which a rotation-free pull rope 3 while not in use in one of the usual direction of pull is held in a different position.

So that the guirani rope inserted in the bore 23 is 11 Uiiter always slides well under all conditions, in particular it returns to the bore 23 as soon as the pull stops, can the surface of the rubber cord 11 with a sliding layer be provided. The sliding layer can be applied by impregnation, but it can also be made from There are smooth-sliding fibers which form a jacket around the rubber cord 11.
