Abstract

A support device including a hook for suspending a person wearing the support device on a rope. The person may be fastened into the support device by means of a transverse belt attached to the upper torso, with the transverse belt extending through slots provided in the support device. The support device includes a spreader bar whose length corresponds approximately to the width of a human chest, with the rope-retaining hook being attached to the spreader bar at a point midway between the ends thereof. The spreader bar is made of a substantially rigid material and serves, when the belt is applied to the person, to support said person in the area defining the width of the chest. Accordingly, for all practical purposes, no lateral forces are transmitted to the person by the pulling of the rope and, consequently, no discomfort through chest constriction is caused by the support device.

Description

Die Erfindung betrifft eine Hawaii-Trapez-Haltevorrichtung mit Haken zum Einhängen eines Surfers an einem Trapeztampen, wobei der Surfer mittels Quergurt am Oberkörper und der Gurt an der Haltevorrichtung befestigt ist.The invention relates to a Hawaii trapezoidal holding device with hooks for hanging a surfer on a trapezoidal rope, the surfer being fastened to the holding device by means of a cross belt and the belt.

Es ist bekannt, den beim Windsurfen auf das Segel ausgeübten Druck mit der Hand durch Halten des Segels aufzufangen. Darüber hinaus kennt man Gurthilfen, die die Arme beim Surfen entlasten sollen und auch für extremere Surfbedingungen geeignet sind. Gurthilfen dieser Art bestehen im wesentlichen aus einem um den Oberkörper befestigbaren Quergurt zumeist mit gepolstertem Rückenteil. Etwa in Zwerchfellhöhe des Sufers ist am befestigten Quergurt eine Hakenplatte quadratischen Zuschnitts eingefädelt, in deren Haken ein am Gabelbaum angebrachtes Bändsel eingehängt werden kann. Die Begurtung ist an sich als «Hawaii-Trapezgurt» bekannt (vgl. «Windsurfing Magazin», Delius-Klasing-Verlag, Bielefeld-München, Ausgabe August 8/1981, S. 28 bis 34).It is known to absorb the pressure exerted on the sail during wind surfing by hand by holding the sail. In addition, there are belt aids known to relieve the arms when surfing and are also suitable for more extreme surf conditions. Belt aids of this type essentially consist of a cross belt that can be fastened around the upper body, usually with a padded back part. Approximately at the diaphragm height of the bank, a square-cut hook plate is threaded on the attached cross belt, in the hook of which a ribbon attached to the boom can be hung. The harness is known as the “Hawaii harness” (see “Windsurfing Magazine”, Delius-Klasing-Verlag, Bielefeld-Munich, August 8/1981, pp. 28 to 34).

Ein herkömmlicher Hawaii-Trapezgurt mit Hakenplatte hat den Nachteil, dass beim Surfen erheblicher Druck auf den Brustkorb ausgeübt wird. Dieser Druck kann in manchen Fällen, z.B. bei sehr starkem Wind oder bei einer plötzlich einfallenden Windbö so gross werden, dass der Gurt nicht nur als unbequem empfunden wird, sondern auch Schmerzen und sogar Atemnot verursacht. Der Grund hierfür liegt zum einen an dem zumeist schlecht gepolsterten kurzen Rückenteil, zum anderen an der unzureichenden Druckverteilung im Bereich des flexiblen Quergurts auf der Brustkörper-Voderseite der Benutzungsperson, der bei zentralem Hakenzug verhältnismässig grosse Seitendruckkräfts links und rechts in der Rippenfellgegend entstehen lässt.A conventional Hawaii harness with hook plate has the disadvantage that considerable pressure is exerted on the chest when surfing. This pressure can in some cases, e.g. with very strong wind or with a sudden gust of wind become so big that the belt is not only perceived as uncomfortable, but also causes pain and even shortness of breath. The reason for this is on the one hand the mostly poorly padded short back part, on the other hand the insufficient pressure distribution in the area of the flexible cross belt on the front side of the breast body of the user, which causes a relatively large side pressure force to the left and right in the pelvic region with a central hook pull.

Um diesem Nachteil zu begegnen, haben sich verschiedene Hersteller an der Verbesserung der «Leibchen» und Gurtenanordnung versucht. So kennt der Stand der Technik gut gepolsterte schalenartige verlängerte steife Rückenteile von Leibchen verschiedenster Konfiguration (beispielsweise nach EP-A-0 043 107) und Mehrgurtanordnungen mit z.B. zwei Schultergurten und zusätzlichen Quer-, Schräg- und/ oder Schrittgurten zwecks besserer Druckverteilung. Auch sind seitliche Versteifungsstäbchen bekannt, die im Leibchen eingelassen sind.In order to counter this disadvantage, various manufacturers have tried to improve the "camisole" and belt arrangement. The state of the art knows well-padded, shell-like, elongated, stiff back parts of camisole in a wide variety of configurations (for example according to EP-A-0 043 107) and multi-belt arrangements with e.g. two shoulder straps and additional cross, diagonal and / or crotch straps for better pressure distribution. Lateral stiffening rods are also known, which are embedded in the camisole.

Bei sämtlichen bekannten Hawaii-Trapez-Gurten besserer Ausführung ist es nachteilig, dass zwecks Erhöhung des Tragekomforts andere Unzulänglichkeiten in Kauf genommen werden müssen, z.B. hinsichtlich der Bewegungsfreiheit, Handhabung, Schnellabwurfmöglichkeit sowie hinsichtlich des Wasseraufnahmevolumens, des Passsitzes und des Preises.With all known Hawaii trapezoidal belts of a better design, it is disadvantageous that other shortcomings have to be accepted in order to increase the wearing comfort, e.g. with regard to freedom of movement, handling, quick release, as well as with regard to the water intake volume, the fit and the price.

Ausgehend von der Problematik des vorgenannten Stands der Technik ist es Aufgabe der Erfindung, eine Hawaii-Trapez-Haltevorrichtung mit Haken der eingangs genannten Art zu schaffen, die baulich einfach gestaltet ist und bei der im benutzten Zustand praktisch keine Seitenkräfte auf den Brustkorb des Surfers übertragen werden.Based on the problems of the aforementioned prior art, it is an object of the invention to provide a Hawaii trapezoidal holding device with hooks of the type mentioned, which is structurally simple and which practically does not transmit any side forces to the surfer's chest when in use will.

Gelöst wird die der Erfindung zugrundeliegende Aufgabe dadurch, dass eine im wesentlichen steife auf der Oberkörpervorderseite des Surfers angeordnete Spreizschiene vorgesehen ist, die eine Länge entsprechend in etwa der Brustkörperbreite des Surfers aufweist und einen am Oberkörper des Surfers befestigten Quergurt quer zur Körperachse abstützt.The object on which the invention is based is achieved in that an essentially rigid spreader bar is provided on the front of the surfer, which has a length corresponding approximately to the width of the surfer's chest and supports a transverse belt attached to the surfer's torso transversely to the body axis.

Der Haken an der Spreizschiene ist vorteilhafterweise mittig befestigt.The hook on the spreader rail is advantageously attached centrally.

Insbesondere ist er einstückig mit einer Hakenplatte ausgebildet und diese an der Spreizschiene starr befestigt.In particular, it is formed in one piece with a hook plate and rigidly attached to the expansion rail.

Die Hakenplatte kann mit der Spreizschiene mittels versenkten Schrauben verbunden sein.The hook plate can be connected to the expansion rail by means of countersunk screws.

Eine besonders stabile Anordnung ist gegeben, wenn in alternativer Ausführung die Hakenplatte mit der Spreizschiene mittels Senkkopf-Hohlnieten fest verbunden ist.A particularly stable arrangement is provided if, in an alternative embodiment, the hook plate is firmly connected to the expansion rail by means of hollow rivets.

Zwischen Hakenplatte und Spreizschiene ist zweckmässigerweise ein Aufnahmeschlitz gebildet, durch den ein um den Oberkörper eines Surfers geführter Quergurt gesteckt werden kann.A receiving slot is expediently formed between the hook plate and the spreading rail, through which a cross belt guided around the upper body of a surfer can be inserted.

Bevorzugt kann die Spreizschiene praktisch über ihre gesamte Länge eine Quergurtführung aufweisen, so dass ein aufliegender gespannter Quergurt seitlich nicht verrutschen kann.The spreader rail can preferably have a cross belt guide practically over its entire length, so that a tensioned cross belt lying on it cannot slip sideways.

Die Quergurtführung ist insbesondere eine in der Spreizschiene ausgebildete integrierte Vertiefung.The cross belt guide is in particular an integrated recess formed in the spreading rail.

An den Längsenden der Spreizschiene befinden sich vorteilhafterweise Schlitze zur Durchführung des Quergurts im Bereich der Oberkörperseiten und Weiterleitung des Gurts zum Rückenteil.At the longitudinal ends of the spreader rail there are advantageously slots for the passage of the transverse belt in the area of the upper body sides and forwarding of the belt to the back part.

Die Spreizschiene kann neben den vorgenannten Schlitzen weitere Schlitze enthalten, insbesondere einen oberen und/oder einen unteren Schlitz zur Aufnahme eines Schulter-, Schräg- und/oder Schrittgurts.In addition to the above-mentioned slots, the spreader rail can contain further slots, in particular an upper and / or a lower slot for receiving a shoulder, oblique and / or crotch strap.

Eine besonders bevorzugte Weiterbildung der Erfindung sieht vor, dass die Spreizschiene über ihre gesamte Länge bezüglich der Hakenseite leicht konvex gebogen ist. Die Konvexform entspricht im wesentlichen der Brustkorbwölbung und ermöglicht demzufolge einen angenehmen Passsitz.A particularly preferred development of the invention provides that the spreader rail is slightly convex over its entire length with respect to the hook side. The convex shape corresponds essentially to the chest curvature and therefore enables a comfortable fit.

Eine einfache kostengünstige Serienfertigung ist gegeben, wenn die Spreizschiene ein spritzgegossenes Kunststoffteil ist.A simple, inexpensive series production is provided if the spreader rail is an injection molded plastic part.

Haken und Hakenplatte sind vorteilhaft aus Metall gebildet (z.B. Nirostastahl).The hook and hook plate are advantageously made of metal (e.g. stainless steel).

Durch die Erfindung wird demnach mit verblüffend einfachen Mitteln eine Spreizhilfe für einen flexiblen Quergurt geschaffen, der um den Oberkörper eines Surfers angelegt ist und an der Vorderseite unter Zugbeanspruchung steht. Die Spreizhilfe mit deutlicher Längserstreckung entsprechend der Brustkörperbreite eines Surfers verhindert, dass seitlicher Druck auf den Oberkörper ausgeübt wird. Damit wird der Tragekomfort der Haltevorrichtung erhöht. Vorteilhaft wird auch die Gefahr einer Verletzung einer Benutzungsperson verringert. Die Vorrichtung ist leicht im Gewicht, handlich und ermöglicht optimale Bewegungsfreiheit. Mehrgurtanordnungen nach dem Stand der Technik sind entbehrlich, wie auch steife grossflächige Gegenpolsterschalen am Rükken entfallen können. Bei eingehängtem, starr oder beweglich an der Spreizschiene befestigtem Haken liegt die Spreizschiene normalerweise in einem bequemen Passsitz auf der Brustkorbvorderseite auf, wobei aufgrund der mittigen Befestigung des Hakens an der Schiene ein seitliches Verkanten der Schiene in bezug auf den Oberkörper des Surfers praktisch nicht möglich ist. Die Haltevorrichtung kann in zwei Stellungen befestigt werden (Hakenöffnung unten, Hakenöffnung oben), ist einfach und kostengünstig in der Fertigung und stellt bei einem Hawaii-Trapez ein vorteilhaftes Zusatzgerät dar. Sie dient dann als Trapezbeschlag, in dem der Trapezgürtel geführt ist. Der vom Segel über den Trapeztampen auf den Trapezbeschlag ausgeübte Zug wird ohne seitlichen Druck auf das (zumeist gepolsterte) Rückenteil des Trapezgurts übertragen.The invention accordingly provides, with amazingly simple means, an expansion aid for a flexible cross belt which is placed around the upper body of a surfer and is under tensile stress on the front. The spreading aid with a clear longitudinal extension corresponding to the width of a surfer's chest prevents lateral pressure from being exerted on the upper body. This increases the comfort of the holding device. The risk of injury to a user is also advantageously reduced. The device is light in weight, handy and allows optimal freedom of movement. Multi-belt arrangements according to the prior art are dispensable, just as stiff, large counter-cushion shells on the back can be dispensed with. When the hook is attached, rigidly or movably attached to the spreader rail, the spreader rail normally lies in a be Quemen fit on the front of the rib cage, whereby due to the central attachment of the hook to the rail, a lateral tilting of the rail in relation to the upper body of the surfer is practically impossible. The holding device can be fastened in two positions (hook opening below, hook opening above), is simple and inexpensive to manufacture and is an advantageous additional device for a Hawaii trapezoid. It then serves as a trapezoidal fitting in which the trapezoidal belt is guided. The traction exerted by the sail on the trapezoidal rope on the trapezoidal fitting is transmitted to the (mostly padded) back part of the trapezoidal belt without any lateral pressure.

Die Erfindung wird nachfolgend anhand eines Ausführungsbeispiels unter Bezugnahme auf die Zeichnung näher erläutert; es zeigen:

  • Fig. 1 einen schematischen Querschnitt einer erfindungsgemässen Hawaii-Trapez-Haltevorrichtung;
  • Fig. 2 die Haltevorrichtung nach Fig. 1 in einer Vorderansicht im Schnitt durch den Haken, und
  • Fig. 3 einen der Fig. 1 ähnlichen Schnitt einer Hawaii-Trapez-Haltevorrichtung nach dem Stand der Technik.
The invention is explained below using an exemplary embodiment with reference to the drawing; show it:
  • 1 shows a schematic cross section of a Hawaii trapezoidal holding device according to the invention;
  • Fig. 2 shows the holding device of FIG. 1 in a front view in section through the hook, and
  • 3 a section similar to FIG. 1 of a Hawaii trapezoidal holding device according to the prior art.

In Fig. 1 bezeichnet das Bezugszeichen 2 einen Schnitt durch den Oberkörper eines Surfers, der die erfindungsgemässe Haltevorrichtung 1 angelegt hat.In FIG. 1, reference numeral 2 denotes a section through the upper body of a surfer who has put on the holding device 1 according to the invention.

Die Haltevorrichtung 1 ist in grösserer Einzelheit in Fig. 2 dargestellt und besteht im wesentlichen aus einer metallenen ebenen Hakenplatte 5, einem an der Hakenplatte 5 befestigten Metallhaken 4 mit seitlicher Hakenöffnung und aus einer langgestreckten wenig flexiblen Spreizschiene 10. Die Hakenplatte 5 ist mittels versenkter Schrauben 12 und versenkter Gegenmuttern an der Spreizschiene 10 mittig befestigt, die ein spritzgegossenes Kunststoffteil ist.The holding device 1 is shown in greater detail in Fig. 2 and consists essentially of a metal flat hook plate 5, a metal hook 4 attached to the hook plate 5 with a lateral hook opening and an elongated little flexible spreader bar 10. The hook plate 5 is by means of countersunk screws 12 and countersunk locknuts attached centrally to the expansion rail 10, which is an injection molded plastic part.

Die Hakenplatte 5 misst in der Grobabmessung ca. 80 mm im Quadrat. Die Hakendicke beträgt in etwa 8 mm. Die (vier) Senkschrauben besitzen M4-Format.The hook plate 5 measures roughly 80 mm square. The hook thickness is approximately 8 mm. The (four) countersunk screws are M4 format.

Die Spreizschiene 10 besitzt eine Längserstreckung entsprechend der Brustkörperbreite eines Surfers (z.B. 300 mm) und hat eine Gesamtbreite von ca. 110 mm.The spreading rail 10 has a longitudinal extension corresponding to the width of a surfer's chest (e.g. 300 mm) and has a total width of approximately 110 mm.

In Längsrichtung der Spreizschiene ist eine Quergurtführung 14 in Form einer integrierten Vertiefung eingelassen, wobei gemäss Fig. 2 ein erhabener Umfangsrand 15 gebildet ist. Die Breite der Quergurtführung 14 entspricht in etwa der Breite eines durchschnittlichen Gurts (ca. 50 mm).In the longitudinal direction of the spreading rail, a cross belt guide 14 in the form of an integrated recess is embedded, a raised peripheral edge 15 being formed according to FIG. 2. The width of the cross belt guide 14 corresponds approximately to the width of an average belt (approx. 50 mm).

In den beiden seitlichen Endbereichen der Quergurtführung 14 sind langgestreckte Durchgänge durch die Spreizschiene 10 vorgesehen. Diese Durchgänge bilden seitliche Schlitze 7, durch die ein in der Quergurtführung 14 aufgenommener Quergurt 11 durch die Spreizschiene seitlich geführt werden kann, um von dort auf die Rückseite des Oberkörpers 2 zu gelangen, wie dies in Fig. 1 gezeigt ist. Die Rückseite des Quergurts 11 weist ein integriertes gepolstertes Rückenteil 6 auf, das der Rückenpartie eines Surfers angepasst ist. Die Breite der Schlitze 7 beträgt in etwa ca. 4 mm.In the two lateral end regions of the cross belt guide 14, elongated passages through the expansion rail 10 are provided. These passages form lateral slots 7 through which a cross belt 11 received in the cross belt guide 14 can be guided laterally through the spreader rail in order to reach the rear of the upper body 2 from there, as shown in FIG. 1. The back of the cross belt 11 has an integrated padded back part 6, which is adapted to the back of a surfer. The width of the slots 7 is approximately 4 mm.

Entsprechend der seitlichen Schlitze 7 sind auf dem erhabenen Teil 15 der Spreizschiene 10 ein oberer Schlitz 8 sowie ein unterer Schlitz 9 im Bereich der Hakenplatte 5 ausgebildet, die zur Aufnahme und Führung von Schultergurten sowie einem Schrittgurt dienen können.Corresponding to the lateral slots 7, an upper slot 8 and a lower slot 9 in the area of the hook plate 5 are formed on the raised part 15 of the expansion rail 10, which slot can be used to hold and guide shoulder straps and a crotch strap.

Die Hakenplatte 5 ist auf dem erhabenen Umfangsrand 15 mittels der Schrauben 12 montiert, so dass durch die Vertiefung der Quergurtführung 14 ein Durchgang zwischen Hakenplatte 5 und Spreizschiene 10 in Längsrichtung gebildet ist, um einen durchgezogenen Quergurt 11 aufzunehmen.The hook plate 5 is mounted on the raised peripheral edge 15 by means of the screws 12, so that through the depression of the cross belt guide 14 a passage is formed in the longitudinal direction between the hook plate 5 and the spreading rail 10 in order to receive a solid cross belt 11.

Ersichtlich ist die Länge der Spreizschiene 10 entsprechend der Brustkörperbreite des Surfers gemäss Fig. 1 gewählt, und es ist die Spreizschiene 10 bezüglich der Hakenseite konvex entsprechend in etwa der Brustkorbwölbung geformt.As can be seen, the length of the spreader bar 10 is selected in accordance with the breast body width of the surfer according to FIG. 1, and the spreader bar 10 is convexly shaped with respect to the hook side, corresponding approximately to the chest curvature.

Ist in Betrieb des in Fig. 1 gezeigten Trapezbeschlags ein Seil 3 in Form eines Trapeztampen im offenen Haken 4 einer am Oberkörper 2 befestigten Haltevorrichtung 1 aufgenommen, wird die zentral angreifende Zugkraft P durch die Spreizschiene 10 in die beiden gleich grossen parallelen Seitenzugkräfte P1 aufgeteilt. Die beiden Seitenzugkräfte P1 greifen hierbei praktisch in Längsrichtung eines durch die Schlitze 7 geführten Quergurts 11 an in einer Weise, dass auf den Oberkörper 2 keine seitlichen Druckkräfte ausgeübt werden, die den Tragekomfort der Haltevorrichtung 1 beeinträchtigen könnten.If, in operation of the trapezoidal fitting shown in FIG. 1, a rope 3 in the form of a trapezoidal rope is received in the open hook 4 of a holding device 1 fastened to the upper body 2, the centrally acting tensile force P is divided by the expansion rail 10 into the two parallel side tensile forces P 1 of the same size . The two side tensile forces P 1 act practically in the longitudinal direction of a cross belt 11 guided through the slots 7 in such a way that no lateral compressive forces are exerted on the upper body 2, which could impair the wearing comfort of the holding device 1.

Im Vergleich zum erfindungsgemässen Trapezbeschlag nach Fig. 1 ist in Fig. 3 eine herkömmliche (quadratische) Hakenplatte 5 kleiner Abmessung (im Vergleich zur Oberkörperbreite) dargestellt. Im angelegten Zustand ist die Hakenplatte 5 deutlich vom Brustkorb beabstandet, so dass keine Führung der Hakenplatte weder in Längs- noch in Querrichtung gegeben ist. Der zentrale Seilzug P wird auf die schrägen Quergurtkräfte P2 übertragen, die ihrerseits einen seitlichen Flächendruck ps auf den Oberkörper 2 ausüben, der zu Quetschungen führen kann.In comparison to the trapezoidal fitting according to the invention according to FIG. 1, a conventional (square) hook plate 5 of small dimensions (compared to the upper body width) is shown in FIG. 3. In the applied state, the hook plate 5 is clearly spaced from the rib cage, so that there is no guidance of the hook plate neither in the longitudinal nor in the transverse direction. The central cable pull P is transferred to the oblique transverse belt forces P 2 , which in turn exert a lateral surface pressure p s on the upper body 2, which can lead to crushing.
