Abstract

Harness (1) for practising surf. This harness (1) has a hook (8) secure to a metal plate (7). The hook may be hooked to both sides of the wishbone, at the two ends of the lines which are attached thereto. The hook is secured to braces (3, 4) and to a belt (5) connected to a dorsal plate (2). In a preferred form of execution, a crutch strap (6) is arranged between the plate (7) and the dorsal plate (2). This dorsal plate (2) forms a large padded surface. The hook (8) is arranged on the harness (1) at a place corresponding to the chest of the user. To prevent a traction on the hook (7) from exerting an excessive tightening of the user's thorax, the dorsal plate (2) has a flexible reinforcement (13) adapted to the body profile. At least the belt (5) is connected to the reinforcement (13). This reinforcement (13) comprises a plate (14) of which the contour corresponds to that of the back of the user. The plate may optionally have outer additional stiffeners (15, 16, 17).

Description

Die Erfindung betrifft einen Trapezgurt für das Windsurfen mit einem an Schultergurten und einem Brustgurt über eine Grundplatte befestigten Haken, welcher in beidseitig am Gabelbaum des Windsurfers mit beiden Enden befestigte Tampen oder dergleichen einhängbar ist, wobei die Gurte mit einem gepolsterten großflächigen Rückenteil verbunden sind und der Haken bei angeleg= tem Trapezgurt auf der Brust des Surfers sitzt.The invention relates to a harness for windsurfing with a hook attached to the shoulder straps and a chest strap via a base plate, which can be attached to both sides of the boom of the windsurfer with both ends of rope or the like, the straps being connected to a padded, large-area back part and the hook in Matters = tem Trapezgurt sitting on the chest of the surfer.

Derartige Trapezgurte sind allgemein unter der Bezeichnung "Hawai-Trapez" seit etwa 1976 bekannt (vgl. beispielsweise Windsurfing Magazin SURF Juli.1980, Seiten 46 f.).Trapezoidal belts of this type have generally been known under the name "Hawaiian trapeze" since about 1976 (cf., for example, windsurfing magazine SURF July 1980, pages 46 f.).

Bekannte Trapezgurte bestehen üblicherweise aus einem aus Segeltuch oder dergleichen gefertigten, gegebenenfalls gepolsterten Rückenteil mit zwei hosenträger- ähnlichen Schultergurten, die zusammen mit einem Brustgurt zu einer üblicherweise aus Metall bestehenden Grundplatte zusammengeführt sind, an der der Haken zum Einhängen an den Gabelbaum oder die daran befestigtem Tampen befestigt ist. Aus Sicherheitsgründen weist bei bekannten Trapezgurten möglicherweise zumindest der Brustgurt eine Schnellabwurfschnalle auf, um im Falle des Sturzes von dem Trapez freizukommen. Bei angelegtem Trapezgurt liegt der Haken etwa am unteren Ende des Brustbeines. Ferner ist es bekannt, derartige Trapezgurte an dem Rückenteil mit einem kleinen Rucksack auszustatten, um Ersatzteile, Geld, Aütoschlüssel oder dergleichen, mitnehmen zu können.Known trapeze belts usually consist of a canvas or the like, optionally padded back part with two braces-like shoulder straps, which are brought together with a chest strap to form a base plate, usually made of metal, on which the hook for hanging on the boom or the attached Rope is attached. For safety reasons, in the case of known trapezoidal belts, at least the may point Chest strap has a quick release buckle to clear the harness in the event of a fall. When the harness is on, the hook is at the lower end of the breastbone. It is also known to equip such trapezoidal belts on the back part with a small backpack in order to be able to take spare parts, money, car keys or the like with them.

Sämtliche bekannten Trapezgurte der oben beschriebenen Art wiesen jedoch den Nachteil auf, daß es inbesondere bei Starkwind und längeren Fahrten dadurch, daß die gesamte Kraft praktisch vom Brustgurt aufgenommen werden muß, der in Verbindung mit dem flexiblen Rückenteil steht, zu einer starken Einschnürung des Brustkorbes kommt, welche nach längerer Zeit das Trapezfahren unangenehm macht. Diese Erscheinung wird gerade noch bei Böen und durch die Tatsache verstärkt, daß bezüglich des Benutzers die an dem Haken aufgebrachte Kraft schräg nach oben gerichtet ist.All known trapeze belts of the type described above, however, had the disadvantage that, particularly in strong winds and long journeys, the fact that the entire force has to be absorbed practically by the chest strap, which is connected to the flexible back part, leads to a severe constriction of the chest , which makes trapeze driving uncomfortable after a long time. This phenomenon is only intensified by gusts and by the fact that the force applied to the hook is directed obliquely upwards with respect to the user.

Der Erfindung liegt die Aufgabe zugrunde, einen Trapezgurt der oben angegebenen Art zu schaffen, der eine bessere Verteilung der aufgebrachten Kräfte gewährleistet und daher.die dem Stand der Technik anhaftenden Nachteile vermeidet.The invention has for its object to provide a harness of the type specified above, which ensures a better distribution of the applied forces and therefore avoids the disadvantages inherent in the prior art.

Erfindungsgemäß wird diese Aufgabe im wesentlichen dadurch gelöst, daß der Rückenteil mit einer dem Körperquerschnitt angepaßten biegefesten Versteifung versehen ist, und daß zumindest der Brustgurt in Wirkverbindung mit der Versteifung steht.According to the invention, this object is essentially achieved in that the back part is provided with a bending-resistant stiffening adapted to the body cross-section, and in that at least the chest strap is operatively connected to the stiffening.

Durch die Erfindung wird, abgesehen von der vollständigen Lösung der oben erwähnten Aufgabe insbesondere der Vorteil erzielt, daß sämtliche am.Trapezgurt aufgebrachten Kräfte großflächig auf den Körper übertragen werden und daß dadurch das mittels der Versteifung die Befestigungspunkte des Brustgurtes in ihrem Abstand voneinander im wesentlichen konstant gehalten sind, keine Einschnürung des Brustkorbes mehr möglich ist.Apart from the complete solution of the above-mentioned object, the invention in particular The advantage is achieved that all the forces applied to the harness are applied to the body over a large area and that the spacing of the attachment points of the chest strap is kept substantially constant by means of the stiffening means that the chest is no longer constricted.

Im Einzelnen kann die Erfindung dadurch weitergebildet werden, daß die Versteifung aus Kunststoff besteht.In particular, the invention can be further developed in that the stiffening consists of plastic.

Bei einer bevorzugten Ausführungsform nach der Erfindung ist die Versteifung als dem Rücken eines Windsurfers entsprechend konturierte Platte ausgebildet.In a preferred embodiment according to the invention, the stiffening is designed as a plate which is contoured corresponding to the back of a windsurfer.

Im einzelnen kann die Erfindung dadurch weitergebildet werden, daß an der Platte mindestens eine senkrecht dazu gerichtete Aussteifung vorgeshen ist. Die Aussteifung kann gleichzeitig als Boden eines Rucksackes dienen, wobei dann gegebenenfalls vorgesehene weitere Aussteifungen bügelförmig ausgebildet sind. Die Aussteifungen wirken quasi wie die Spanten eines Schiffsrumpfes und erhöhen die Gesamtsteifigkeit in der Hauptrichtung der herrschenden Kräfte.In particular, the invention can be further developed in that at least one stiffener directed perpendicular to it is provided on the plate. The bracing can simultaneously serve as the bottom of a backpack, in which case any additional bracing provided is then formed in a bow shape. The bracing acts like the frames of a ship's hull and increases the overall rigidity in the main direction of the prevailing forces.

Eine besonders bevorzugte Ausführungsform kann dadurch gebildet werden, daß die Versteifung in ihrer Breite verstellbar ausgebildet ist. Hierdurch ist eine leichte Anpassung an verschiedene Körperformen und Größen möglich.A particularly preferred embodiment can be formed by the width of the stiffener being adjustable. This allows easy adaptation to different body shapes and sizes.

Die Verstellbarkeit kann entweder dadurch ermöglicht werden, daß die Versteifung gegeneinander relativ verschiebbare Teile aufweist oder daß einsetzbare Zwischenstücke vorgesehen sind.The adjustability can either be made possible by the fact that the stiffening has parts which are relatively displaceable relative to one another, or by the fact that the interposer can be used are provided.

Zur Verstärkung der eingangs erwähnten angestrebten Wirkung der besseren Verteilung der Kräfte ist es besonders bevorzugt, daß ein zusätzlicher Schrittgurt vorgesehen ist, der sich zwischen dem Rückenteil und der Grundplatte des Hakens erstreckt. Durch diesen zusätzlichen Schrittgurt wird insbeondere der Vorteil erzielt, daß der bezüglich des Benutzers schräg nach oben gerichteten Kraft eine zusätzliche nach unten wirkende Komponente entgegengesett wird, so daß die im Trapezgurt aufgefangenen Kräfte noch besser verteilt werden.To reinforce the desired effect of better distribution of the forces mentioned above, it is particularly preferred that an additional crotch strap is provided which extends between the back part and the base plate of the hook. This additional crotch strap has the particular advantage that an additional downward component is counteracted by the force directed obliquely upwards with respect to the user, so that the forces absorbed in the trapezoidal belt are distributed even better.

Um das ruckartige Einfallen von Böen beim Windsurfen auszugleichen, ist es bei dieser Ausführungsform besonders bevorzugt, die Grundplatte in Richtung des Schrittgurtes nach unten federvorgespannt verschiebbar zu lagern. Hierdurch wird beim Einfallen einer Bö die dadurch ruckartig erfolgende Segelbewegung wie durch einen Stoßdämpfer federnd aufgefangen.In order to compensate for the abrupt incidence of gusts during windsurfing, it is particularly preferred in this embodiment to mount the base plate in a spring-biased manner in the direction of the crotch strap. As a result, when a gust occurs, the jerky sail movement that occurs as a result is absorbed as if by a shock absorber.

Die Federvorspannung kann entweder durch Gummizüge, flexible Tampen oder flexible Gurte erfolgen, welche zwischen der Grundplatte des Hakens und dem Schrittgurt wirksam sind.The spring preload can be done either by elastic bands, flexible rope or flexible belts, which are effective between the base plate of the hook and the crotch strap.

Bei sämtlichen Ausführungsformen ist es noch bevorzugt, in dem Rückenteil Auftriebskörper oder dergleichen vorzusehen, welche gleichzeitig der Auspolsterung dienen. Hierdurch wird die Kombination des erfindungsgemäßen Trapezgurtes mit einer Schwimmweste erzielt. Darüberhinaus ist es bei dieser Ausführungsform bei der die Auftriebskörper bevorzugt auf der dem Benutzer zugewandten Seite der Versteifungsplatte angeordnet sind, möglich, einfache, gerade Formen von Versteifungen zu wählen, da die der Körperform angepaßte Kontur durch die Auftriebskörper gebildet wird.In all the embodiments, it is still preferred to provide buoyancy bodies or the like in the back part, which at the same time serve for cushioning. As a result, the combination of the harness according to the invention with a life jacket is achieved. In addition, it is in this embodiment in the the buoyancy bodies are preferably arranged on the side of the stiffening plate facing the user, and it is possible to choose simple, straight shapes of stiffeners, since the contour adapted to the body shape is formed by the buoyancy bodies.

Im folgenden wird die Erfindung anhand von in den Zeichnungen dargestellten Ausführungsformen näher erläutert. Es zeigt:

  • Fig. 1 eine perspektivische Ansicht eines Trapezgurtes nach der Erfindung;
  • Fig. 2 eine schematische Seitenansicht des Trapezgurtes gemäß Fig. 1;
  • Fig. 3 eine seitliche Schnittansicht der Ausführungsform gemäß Fig. 2;
  • Fig. 4 eine perspektivische Darstellung einer alternativen Ausführungsform der Versteifung;
  • Fig. 5 eine Schnittansicht senkrecht zur Schnittebene von Fig. 3 und
  • Fig. 6 eine Fig. 5 entsprechende Schnittansicht einer abgewandelten Ausführungsform.
The invention is explained in more detail below with reference to embodiments shown in the drawings. It shows:
  • Figure 1 is a perspective view of a harness according to the invention.
  • FIG. 2 shows a schematic side view of the trapezoidal belt according to FIG. 1;
  • Fig. 3 is a side sectional view of the embodiment of FIG. 2;
  • 4 shows a perspective illustration of an alternative embodiment of the stiffening;
  • Fig. 5 is a sectional view perpendicular to the sectional plane of Fig. 3 and
  • Fig. 6 is a Fig. 5 corresponding sectional view of a modified embodiment.

Die in Fig. 1 veranschaulichte Ausführungsform eines Trapezgurtes 1 besteht im wesentlichen aus einem Rükkenteil 2, zwei Schultergurten 3, 4, einem Brustgurt 5 und einem Schrittgurt 6, wobei die Gurte 3 bis 6 zu einer.Grundplatte 7 aus Metall oder dergleichen zusammengeführt sind, welche einen Haken 8 trägt. Bei der Benutzung eines derartigen Trapezgurtes wird der Haken 8 in den Gabelbaum oder einen daran befestigten Tampen (nicht dargestellt) eingehängt und der in dem Segel herrschende Winddruck des Windsurfers mit dem Körpergewicht gehalten.The embodiment of a trapezoidal belt 1 illustrated in FIG. 1 essentially consists of a back part 2, two shoulder belts 3, 4, a chest belt 5 and a crotch belt 6, the belts 3 to 6 forming a base plate 7 made of metal or the like are led, which carries a hook 8. When using such a harness, the hook 8 is suspended in the boom or a rope (not shown) attached to it and the wind pressure of the windsurfer prevailing in the sail is held with the body weight.

An dem Rückenteil 2 ist ferner noch ein Rucksack 9 vorgesehen, welcher zur Mitnahme von Ersatzteilen, Autoschlüsseln, Geld oder dgl. dient.On the back part 2 there is also a backpack 9 which is used to take spare parts, car keys, money or the like.

Wie ferner aus Fig. 1 und 2 ersichtlich, ist bei der bevorzugten Ausführungsform nach der Erfindung die Grundplatte 7 mit dem Haken 8 in Richtung des Schrittgurtes 6 verschiebbar gelagert und durch Gummizüge, flexible Tampen oder flexible Gurte 10 in Richtung des Schrittgurtes 6 nach unten federvorgespannt gehalten. Dies dient, wie bereits oben erwähnt, dem elastischen Auffangen von plötzlichen Belastungen in Böen oder dgl.As can also be seen from FIGS. 1 and 2, in the preferred embodiment according to the invention the base plate 7 with the hook 8 is displaceably mounted in the direction of the crotch strap 6 and spring-biased downwards by means of elastic bands, flexible ropes or flexible straps 10 in the direction of the crotch strap 6 held. As already mentioned above, this serves to elastically absorb sudden loads in gusts or the like.

Aus Fig. 1 ist noch ersichtlich, daß die Länge der Schultergurte 3 und 4 durch eine Schnalle 11 verstellbar ist und daß der Brustgurt 5 mittels einer Schnellabwurfschnalle 12 geschlossen ist. Eine ähnliche Schnellabwurfschnalle kann auch an dem Schrittgurt 6 vorgesehen sein. Alternativ ist es möglich, sämtliche Gurte 3 bis 6 in einer zentralen Schnellabwurfschnalle (nicht dargestellt) zusammenzufassen, wie dies im Automobilsport bei Sicherheitsgurten bekannt ist.From Fig. 1 it can still be seen that the length of the shoulder straps 3 and 4 is adjustable by a buckle 11 and that the chest belt 5 is closed by means of a quick release buckle 12. A similar quick release buckle can also be provided on the crotch strap 6. Alternatively, it is possible to combine all of the belts 3 to 6 in a central quick release buckle (not shown), as is known in automobile sports for seat belts.

Wie aus der Schnittansicht gemäß Fig. 3 ersichtlich, ist der Trapezgurt nach der Erfindung mit einer in dem Rückenteil 2 angeordneten allgemein mit 13 bezeichneten Versteifung versehen, die den den Brustkorb eines Benutzers zusammendrückenden Kräften entgegenwirkt.As can be seen from the sectional view according to FIG. 3, the trapezoidal belt according to the invention is generally designated 13 in the back part 2 Provide stiffening that counteracts the forces that compress a user's chest.

Bei der in Fig. 3 veranschaulichten Ausführungsform besteht die Versteifung 13 aus einer dem Rücken eines Benutzers entsprechend konturierten Platte 14, vorzugsweise aus Kunststoff, wobei noch zusätzliche Aussteifungen 15, 16 und 17 vorgesehen sind, die zusammen mit der Platte 14 ein starres System bilden. Wie ferner gezeigt, ist die Aussteifung 15 hierbei gleichzeitig als Boden des Rucksackes 9 ausgebildet, wobei die Aussteifung 15 Wasserabflüsse 18 aufweist. Die zusätzlichen Aussteifungen 16 und 17 sind bügelförmig gestaltete, um dadurch den freien Zugang zu dem Innenraum des Rucksackes 9 nicht zu behindern.In the embodiment illustrated in FIG. 3, the stiffening 13 consists of a plate 14, preferably made of plastic, which is contoured to the back of a user, additional stiffeners 15, 16 and 17 being provided, which together with the plate 14 form a rigid system. As further shown, the stiffening 15 is simultaneously formed as the bottom of the backpack 9, the stiffening 15 having water outlets 18. The additional stiffeners 16 and 17 are stirrup-shaped, so as not to hinder free access to the interior of the backpack 9.

Die Form der Aussteifungen 15 bis 17 ist beispielsweise derart wie sie in Fig. 5 veranschaulicht ist, wobei zumindest der Brustgurt 5 mit seinen beiden Enden über die Platte 14 an den Aussteifungen angreift, so daß die den Trapezgurt 1 zusammenzufalten suchende Kraft wirksam auf die Versteifungskonstruktion übertragen wird. Es ist offensichtlich, daß die zusätzlichen Aussteifungen hierbei quasi wie die Spanten eines Bootsrumpfes wirken.The shape of the stiffeners 15 to 17 is, for example, as illustrated in FIG. 5, with at least the chest belt 5 engaging the stiffeners with its two ends via the plate 14, so that the force to be folded up the trapezoidal belt 1 is effective on the stiffening construction is transmitted. It is obvious that the additional stiffeners act like the frames of a boat hull.

Fig. 3 zeigt ferner noch eine Polsterung 19 im Bereich der Platte 14, welche gleichzeitig als Schwimmkörper ausgebildet sein kann.FIG. 3 also shows an upholstery 19 in the area of the plate 14, which can also be designed as a floating body.

Fig. 4 zeigt in perspektivischer Darstellung eine abgewandelte Ausführungsform der Versteifung 13, welche hier als Bügel 20 ausgebildet ist. Durch eine teleskopartige Verbindung 21 ist der Bügel 20 in seiner lichten Weite verstellbar, um eine Anpassung an die verschiedenen Größen zu ermöglichen. Der Bügel 20 weist ferner an seinen seitlichen Enden Ösen oder dgl. 22 auf, welche zur Befestigung des Brustgurtes 5 dienen.Fig. 4 shows a perspective view of a modified embodiment of the stiffening 13, which is designed here as a bracket 20. Through a telescope Like connection 21, the bracket 20 is adjustable in its clear width to allow adaptation to the different sizes. The bracket 20 also has at its lateral ends eyelets or the like. 22, which are used to fasten the chest belt 5.

Fig. 6 zeigt in einer Fig. 5 entsprechenden Schnittansicht eine weitere Abwandlung der Versteifung 13, welche hier im Rückenbereich als gerade Platte 23 ausgebildet ist, wobei wiederum ein relativ verschieblicher Teil 24 zur Größenverstellung vorgesehen ist. Alternativ kann bei sämtlichen Ausführungsformen eine Grössenverstellung durch Einsetzen von Zwischenstücken (nicht dargestellt) erfolgen.FIG. 6 shows, in a sectional view corresponding to FIG. 5, a further modification of the stiffening 13, which here is designed as a straight plate 23 in the back area, again a relatively displaceable part 24 being provided for the size adjustment. Alternatively, in all embodiments, the size can be adjusted by inserting intermediate pieces (not shown).

Bei der Ausführungsform gemäß Fig. 6 ist die dem Rükken eines Benutzers angepaßte Form des Rückenteiles 2 durch eine Schwimmkörper 25 enthaltende Auspolsterung 26 hergestellt. Dies bietet den Vorteil der Kombination mit einer Schwimmweste.In the embodiment according to FIG. 6, the shape of the back part 2 adapted to the back of a user is produced by a padding 26 containing floating bodies 25. This offers the advantage of combining it with a life jacket.
