Abstract

In order to allow the mast fixed of a sail craft, particularly a surf board, to have greater freedom, the mast is mounted so as to swing and rotate on a pole (2) mounted itself swingable and rotatable or foldable on the body (1) of the craft.

Description

Die Erfindung betrifft eine Segelvorrichtung, insbesondere Surfbrett, dessen Segel durch einen beweglich am freien Ende einer Stützstange angeordneten Mast gehalten ist und bei der die Stützstange schwenk- und drehbar mit dem Gleitkörper verbunden ist (PCT-Patentanmeldung WO 82/03 053, Priorität 11.03.1981, FR ; veröffentlicht am 16.09.82).The invention relates to a sailing device, in particular a surfboard, the sail of which is held by a mast arranged movably at the free end of a support rod and in which the support rod is pivotally and rotatably connected to the sliding body (PCT patent application WO 82/03 053, priority 11.03. 1981, FR; published 16.09.82).

Bei einer Vorrichtung der vorgenannten Art sind der Mast und die Stützstange drehbar miteinander verbunden, wodurch das Segel in verschiedenen Drehstellungen gegenüber der Stützstange gebracht werden und durch Schwenken und Drehen der Stützstange verschiedene Neigungen zum Gleitkörper einnehmen kann. Von Nachteil hat sich bei dieser Vorrichtung gezeigt, daß der Benutzer manuell mit großem Kraftaufwand Mast, Segel und die Stützstange in den verschiedenen Stellungen permanent zu halten hat.In a device of the aforementioned type, the mast and the support rod are rotatably connected to one another, as a result of which the sail is brought into different rotational positions with respect to the support rod and, by pivoting and rotating the support rod, can assume various inclinations towards the sliding body. A disadvantage of this device has been shown that the user has to hold the mast, sail and the support rod in the different positions permanently with great effort.

Es ist Aufgabe der Erfindung die Verstellbarkeit des Segels zum Gleitkörper zu vergrößern und das Segel in den Stellungen zu fixieren.It is an object of the invention to increase the adjustability of the sail to the sliding body and to fix the sail in the positions.

Erfindungsgemäß hat diese Aufgabe dadurch eine Lösung gefunden, daß der Mast drehbar auf einem kippbeweglich mit der Stützstange verbundenen Gelenkbolzen an der Stützstange gehalten ist und mittels freigebbarer Rastmittel oder Schnurzügen in der aufrechten Stellung und den Schwenk- und Kippstellungen feststellbar ist. Hierdurch ist erreicht, daß bei quer oder schräg zur Wasserfläche gehaltenem Mast Gleitphasen des Surfbretts auf der Wasserfläche möglich sind, während bei zur Wasserfläche angenäherten parallelen Halterung des Mastes Flugphasen in der Art eines Drachens über lange Strecken direkt erfolgen können. Dabei ist der Mast zur Stützstange durch den Gelenkbolzen beliebig beweglich jedoch in den Arbeitsstellungen ohne Kraftaufwand des Benutzers am Mast fixierbar.According to the invention, this object has found a solution in that the mast is rotatably held on a pivot pin connected to the support rod on the support rod and can be ascertained by means of releasable locking means or cord pulls in the upright position and the pivoting and tilting positions. This ensures that when the mast is held transversely or obliquely to the water surface, sliding phases of the surfboard on the water surface are possible, while with parallel mounting of the mast parallel to the water surface, flight phases in the manner of a kite can take place over long distances directly. The mast to the support rod can be moved as desired by the hinge pin, but can be fixed in the working positions without any effort on the part of the user.

Schließlich ist zur vereinfachten Handhabung der Segelvorrichtung noch vorgesehen, die Stützstange am Gleitkörper mittels auslösbaren Rasten festzulegen. Als Rasten können dabei eine Halteklammer, ein Klinkentrieb od. dgl. dienen.Finally, for simplified handling of the sailing device, provision is also made for the support rod to be fixed to the sliding body by means of releasable catches. A retaining clip, a ratchet drive or the like can serve as notches.

Die Erfindung ist anhand eines Ausführungsbeispiels in der Zeichnung erläutert. Es zeigen :

  • Figur 1 ein Surfbrett mit einem in der aufrechten Stellung am Gleitkörper fixierten Mast in Seitenansicht,
  • Figur 2 ein Surfbrett der Fig. 1 mit abgeschwenktem Mast, perspektivisch,
  • Figur 3 ein Teilstück von Stützstange und Mast vergrößert und
  • Figur 4 ein Teilstück von Stützstange und Mast gemäß einer anderen Ausbildung vergrößert.
The invention is explained using an exemplary embodiment in the drawing. Show it :
  • FIG. 1 shows a side view of a surfboard with a mast fixed to the sliding body in the upright position,
  • FIG. 2 shows a surfboard from FIG. 1 with the mast swung down, in perspective,
  • Figure 3 enlarged a portion of the support rod and mast and
  • Figure 4 enlarged a portion of the support rod and mast according to another training.

In den Figuren ist mit 1 der Gleitkörper eines Surfbretts bezeichnet, auf dessen Oberseite eine Stützstange 2 mittels eines kippbeweglichen und drehbaren Fußteils 3 aufgebracht ist. Erfindungsgemäß ist nahe dem freien Ende der Stützstange 2 durch eine Bohrung 4 ein schwenk- und kippbarer Gelenkbolzen 5 geschoben, der einen Mast 6 drehbar hält (Fig. 3). Der Mast hält gemeinsam mit einer einfachen oder doppelten Haltevorrichtung 7, insbesondere Spreizholme 7' bzw. 7", ein Segel 8. In der Stellung der Fig. 1 ist der Mast 6 mit seinem unteren Ende durch einen Schnurzug 9 an der Stützstange 2 festgelegt und somit an Schwenk- und Kippbewegungen gehindert. Mittels des so gehaltenen Mastes 6 sind Gleitphasen einfach möglich. Der Gleitkörper 1 kann beliebig, z. B. in der Art eines Surfbrettes gebildet oder als Wasserski ausgeführt sein. Außerdem sind weitere Gleitkörper, wie eine rautenförmige Platte, denkbar.In the figures, 1 denotes the sliding body of a surfboard, on the upper side of which a support rod 2 is applied by means of a tiltable and rotatable foot part 3. According to the invention, a pivotable and tiltable hinge pin 5 is pushed near the free end of the support rod 2 through a bore 4 and rotatably holds a mast 6 (Fig. 3). The mast holds together with a single or double holding device 7, in particular spreader bars 7 'or 7 ", a sail 8. In the position of FIG. 1 the mast 6 is fixed with its lower end by a cord 9 on the support rod 2 and Sliding phases are easily possible by means of the mast 6 held in this way. The sliding body 1 can be designed in any manner, for example in the manner of a surfboard or can be designed as a water ski. In addition, there are further sliding bodies, such as a diamond-shaped plate , conceivable.

In Fig. 2 ist die Segelvorrichtung als Fluggerät dargestellt. Hierzu ist der Mast 6 um den Gelenkbolzen 5 abgeschwenkt. Das Abschwenken des Mastes erfolgt nach Lösen des Schnurzuges 9 durch Aufbringen eines Drehmoments an der Haltevorrichtung 7 am Spreizholm 7'. Durch Anheben oder Absenken der Haltevorrichtung 7 ist das Segel 8 den Flugwünschen entsprechend angepaßt. Hierbei bewegt sich der Gelenkbolzen 5 in einer konischen Erweiterung 4' der Bohrung 4. Zweckmäßig ist die Stützstange 2 in der gezeigten Stellung mit dem Gleitkörper durch lösbare Rasten fest verbunden. Durch Zurückschwenken des Mastes 6 in die aufrechte Stellung und Festlegung desselben an der Stützstange 2, kann dieser ebenso wie das Segel 8 erneut die Stellung der Fig. 1 zu Gleitphasen einnehmen.In Fig. 2 the sailing device is shown as an aircraft. For this purpose, the mast 6 is pivoted about the hinge pin 5. The mast is pivoted away after loosening the cord 9 by applying a torque to the holding device 7 on the spreader bar 7 '. By lifting or lowering the holding device 7, the sail 8 is adapted to the flight requirements. In this case, the hinge pin 5 moves in a conical extension 4 'of the bore 4. The support rod 2 is expediently firmly connected to the sliding body in the position shown by releasable catches. By pivoting the mast 6 back into the upright position and fixing it to the support rod 2, the latter, like the sail 8, can once again assume the position of FIG. 1 for sliding phases.

In Fig. 4 ist der Gelenkbolzen 5 durch ein Gummigelenk 10 ersetzt, das durch einen Gewindebolzen 11 an der Stützstange 2 gehalten ist. Eine zwischen der Stützstange 2 und dem Gummigelenk 10 eingebrachte Gleitplatte 12 erleichtert die Abschwenkung des Mastes 6 durch Abbiegen des Gummigelenks 10. Bei nachgebender Halterung des Mastes 6 erfolgen selbsttätige Rückstellungen des Mastes 6 unter dem Einfluß von beim Abschwenken im Gummigelenk erzeugten Vorspannungen.In Fig. 4, the hinge pin 5 is replaced by a rubber joint 10 which is held by a threaded bolt 11 on the support rod 2. A slide plate 12 inserted between the support rod 2 and the rubber joint 10 facilitates the pivoting down of the mast 6 by bending the rubber joint 10. When the mast 6 is resiliently held, the mast 6 is automatically reset under the influence of prestresses generated in the rubber joint when it is pivoted away.
