Abstract

1. Trapeze belt for windsurfers or sailors, which can be placed in its longitudinal direction around a part of the sailor's or windsurfer's body, e.g. hip or pelvis, and in which the two ends of the trapeze belt are joined at the front of the body, characterised in that the belt (1) has longitudinal side portions (7, 8) which are separated by a slit (9) or a particularly elastic or flexible strip-shaped zone, and which in the fitted position form e.g. upper and lower portions and are joined together at or in the vicinity of the longitudinal ends of the belt which, when the belt is on, are located at the sides, e.g. in the region of the hip or pelvic bones, or the front of the user's body.

Description

Die Erfindung betrifft einen Trapezgurt für Surfer oder Segler, der in seiner Längsausdehnung um eine Körperpartie des Surfers oder Seglers herumlegbar ist und wobei die beiden Enden des Trapezgurtes an der Vorderseite des Körpers verbunden sind. Derartige Trapezgurte werden nach Herumlegen um diese Körperpartie mittels eines Trapezhakens an einen Trapeztampen oder an einen Trapezdraht angehängt, der am Gabelbaum des Surfriggs oder am Mast des Segelbootes befestigt ist. An diesem Trapez kann sich der Segler in eine Hänglage am Surf-oder Segelrigg begeben, um das Surfrigg oder das Segelboot ausbalanzieren zu können.The invention relates to a harness for surfers or sailors, the longitudinal extension of which can be folded around a body part of the surfer or sailor and wherein the two ends of the harness are connected to the front of the body. Such trapezoidal belts are attached to a trapezoidal cord or to a trapezoidal wire which is attached to the boom of the surfrig or to the mast of the sailboat after being wrapped around this part of the body by means of a trapezoidal hook. On this trapeze the sailor can go into a hanging position on the surf or sailing rig in order to balance the surf frig or the sailboat.

Ein solcher Gurt ist z.B. aus WO 82/00448 bekannt.Such a belt is e.g. known from WO 82/00448.

Der Erfindung liegt die Aufgabe zugrunde, die bekannten Trapezgurte derart zu verbessern, dass sie sich optimal an die Körperpartie des Surfers oder Seglers anschmiegen bzw. Bewegungen der Körperpartie, um die sie herumgelegt sind, mitmachen, ohne aus ihrer gewünschten Lage zu verrutschen. Diese Aufgabe wird bei einem Trapezgurt erfindungsgemäss dadurch gelöst, dass er mindestens zwei quer zur Längsausdehnung des Gurtes nebeneinanderliegende Längsseitenteile (z.B. Ober-, gegebenenfalls Mittel- und Unterteil) hat, die durch mindestens einen Schlitz oder eine besonders elastische oder biegsame streifenförmige Zone voneinander getrennt sind und an den Längsenden des Gurtes, die sich bei angelegtem Gurt an den Körperseiten (z.B. im Bereich der Hüftknochen) des Surfers oder Seglers befinden, miteinander verbunden sind. Unter besonders elastisch oder biegsam wird dabei eine Elastizität oder Biegsamkeit verstanden, die nicht unerheblich höher ist als die Elastizität und Biegsamkeit der durch diese Zone getrennten Längsseitenteile des Gurtes.The invention has for its object to improve the known trapezoidal belts in such a way that they nestle optimally on the body part of the surfer or sailor or participate in movements of the body part around which they are placed without slipping out of their desired position. This object is achieved according to the invention in the case of a trapezoidal belt in that it has at least two longitudinal side parts lying next to one another transversely to the longitudinal extent of the belt (for example upper, optionally middle and lower part), which are separated from one another by at least one slot or a particularly elastic or flexible strip-shaped zone and are connected to one another at the longitudinal ends of the belt, which are located on the sides of the body (for example in the region of the hip bones) of the surfer or sailor when the belt is fastened. Particularly elastic or pliable is understood to mean an elasticity or pliability that is not insignificantly higher than the elasticity and pliability of the longitudinal side parts of the belt separated by this zone.

Durch diese erfindungsgemässe Ausbildung kann sich der Gurt in allen seinen Teilen perfekt an die von ihm umgebene Körperpartie des Surfers oder Seglers anpassen, ohne dass Zwischenräume zwischen Körperpartie und Gurt verbleiben. Hierdurch wird eine grossflächige Kraftübertragung des Gewichts des Surfers oder Seglers auf den Trapezgurt ermöglicht, was die Benutzung des Trapezes für den Benutzer angenehmer macht.Through this design according to the invention, the strap in all its parts can adapt perfectly to the body part of the surfer or sailor surrounding it, without any gaps remaining between the body part and the strap. This enables a large-area power transmission of the weight of the surfer or sailor to the harness, which makes the use of the harness more pleasant for the user.

Besonders vorteilhaft dürfte die erfindungsgemässe Ausbildung des Trapezgurtes bei einem Hüfttrapez sein, wo sich die einzelnen Längsseitenteile des Gurtes genau dem physiologischen Verlauf der Wirbelsäule des Benutzers bzw. der Rücken-, Kreuz- und Beckenpartie des Benutzers anpassen können. Dies ist auch bei extremem Hohlkreuz des Benutzers möglich. Darüber hinaus kann sich der Trapezgurt in der erfindungsgemässen Ausbildung optimal den Bewegungen des Benutzers im Bereich seiner vom Gurt umgebenen Körperpartien folgen. Die Bewegungsfreiheit des Benutzers wird durch die erfindungsgemässe Ausbildung des Gurtes verbessert, ohne dass die Gefahr besteht, dass der Gurt bzw. seine Teile die gewünschte Lage an den Körperpartien des Benutzers verändern.The design of the trapezoidal belt according to the invention should be particularly advantageous in the case of a trapezoidal waist, where the individual longitudinal side parts of the belt can adapt exactly to the physiological course of the spine of the user or the back, cross and pelvic areas of the user. This is also possible when the user has an extreme hollow back. In addition, the trapezoidal belt in the design according to the invention can optimally follow the movements of the user in the area of his body parts surrounded by the belt. The freedom of movement of the user is improved by the inventive design of the belt without the risk that the belt or its parts change the desired position on the body parts of the user.

Der erfindungsgemässe Trapezgurt ist aber nicht nur als Hüftgurt, sondern auch als Rücken- oder Sitzgurt vorteilhaft. Je nach Art der Verwendung des Trapezgurtes, beispielsweise als Hüft- oder Sitzgurt, kann es zweckmässig sein, dass der Gurt nicht nur in zwei, sondern in drei oder vielleicht auch mehr Längsseitenteile unterteilt ist, um sich an unterschiedlich gerichtete Oberflächen verschiedener Körperteile des Benutzers anpassen zu können. Bei einer zweckmässigen Ausführungsform erstrecken sich die Längsseitenteile des Gurtes, die durch mindestens einen Schlitz oder eine besonders elastische oder biegsame streifenförmige Zone voneinandergetrennt sind, im wesentlichen über die gesamte Breite der Körperpartie, beispielsweise des Rückens des Benutzers, um die der Gurt herumlegbar ist.The trapezoidal belt according to the invention is advantageous not only as a hip belt, but also as a back or seat belt. Depending on the type of use of the trapezoidal belt, for example as a hip or seat belt, it may be expedient that the belt is not only divided into two, but also into three or perhaps more longitudinal side parts in order to adapt to differently oriented surfaces of different parts of the user's body to be able to. In an expedient embodiment, the longitudinal side parts of the belt, which are separated from one another by at least one slot or a particularly elastic or flexible strip-shaped zone, extend essentially over the entire width of the body part, for example the back of the user, around which the belt can be folded.

Vorteilhaft verbreitert sich der Schlitz oder die besonders elastische oder biegsame Zone von ihren Enden bis zu ihrer Mitte hin. Hierdurch ist zur Anpassung an die Körperpartien des Surfers oder Seglers oder zum Mitmachen der Bewegung dieser Körperpartien nicht nur ein Öffnen (Erweitern), sondern auch ein Schliessen (Verengen) des Schlitzes oder der besonders elastischen oder biegsamen Zone, also eine Abstandsveränderung der durch diesen Schlitz oder diese Zone getrennten Längsseitenteile des Trapezgurtes in beiden Richtungen möglich.The slot or the particularly elastic or flexible zone advantageously widens from its ends to its center. As a result, in order to adapt to the body parts of the surfer or sailor or to participate in the movement of these parts of the body, not only is opening (widening), but also closing (narrowing) the slot or the particularly elastic or flexible zone, i.e. changing the distance through this slot or this zone separate longitudinal side parts of the trapezoidal belt in both directions possible.

In der Zeichnung ist ein besonders vorteilhaftes Ausführungsbeispiel des erfindungsgemässen Trapezgurtes beschrieben, das im folgenden näher beschrieben wird:

  • Fig. 1 zeigt dieses Ausführungsbeispiel im Einsatz bei einem Surfer;
  • Fig. 2 veranschaulicht den Trapezgurt in ausgebreiteter Lage;
  • Fig. 3 zeigt den Kern des Trapezgurtes in seiner üblichen gebogenen Form in Schrägansicht.
In the drawing, a particularly advantageous embodiment of the trapezoidal belt according to the invention is described, which is described in more detail below:
  • Fig. 1 shows this embodiment in use with a surfer;
  • Fig. 2 illustrates the trapezoidal belt in the spread position;
  • Fig. 3 shows the core of the harness in its usual curved shape in an oblique view.

Bei dem dargestellten Ausführungsbeispiel handelt es sich um einen Trapezhüftgurt für Surfriggs, der aus einem Kern aus biegsamem, nachgiebigem Material, z.B. Schaumstoff, besteht, der von einem Stoff oder einer Folie ummantelt sein kann.The illustrated embodiment is a trapezoidal hip belt for surfing, which consists of a core made of flexible, resilient material, e.g. Foam, which can be covered by a fabric or a film.

Wie Fig. 1 zeigt, wird dieser Hüftgurt bei seiner Anwendung um die Hüftpartie des Surfers herumgelegt. Seine beiden Enden sind über Gurtbänder 3 miteinander verbunden, die an ihrem einen Ende am Trapezgurt dauerhaft befestigt sind und an ihrem anderen Ende mit Hilfe von Schnallen 2 lösbar am Gurt befestigt werden können. Mit Hilfe eines Trapezhakens 4, der an den Gurtbändern hängt, ist der Hüftgurt 1 an einen Trapeztampen 5 angehängt, der am Gabelbaum 6 des Surfriggs befestigt ist. Hierdurch kann ein Grossteil des Gewichts des Surfers in Hänglage auf den Gabelbaum 6 und von dort auf das gesamte Surfrigg übertragen werden, so dass die Hände und Arme des Surfers von dieser Gewichtsübertragung weitgehend entlastet werden können.As shown in Fig. 1, this waist belt is placed around the hip area of the surfer when it is used. Its two ends are connected to one another by means of webbing straps 3 which are permanently fastened to the trapezoidal belt at one end and can be detachably fastened to the belt at the other end by means of buckles 2. With the help of a trapezoidal hook 4, which hangs on the belt straps, the hip belt 1 is attached to a trapezoidal rope 5, which is attached to the boom 6 of the surf rig. As a result, a large part of the weight of the surfer in a hanging position can be transferred to the boom 6 and from there to the entire surfrigg, so that the hands and arms of the surfer can be largely relieved of this weight transmission.

Erfindungsgemäss ist bei dem dargestellten Ausführungsbeispiel der Trapezgurt 1 durch einen Längsschlitz 9 in zwei Längsseitenteile 7, 8 unterteilt, die im Bereich der Enden des Trapezgurtes miteinander verbunden sind. Dieser Längsschlitz 9 verbreitert sich zu seiner Längsmitte hin, so dass er durch vom Körper des Surfers oder Seglers auf den Gurt ausgeübte Kräfte nicht nur erweitert, sondern auch verengt werden kann.According to the invention, in the exemplary embodiment shown, the trapezoidal belt 1 is divided by a longitudinal slot 9 into two longitudinal side parts 7, 8, which are connected to one another in the region of the ends of the trapezoidal belt. This longitudinal slot 9 widens towards its longitudinal center, so that it can not only be widened but also narrowed by forces exerted by the body of the surfer or sailor on the belt.

Dieser Schlitz 9, der auch durch eine Gurtzone von höherer Biegsamkeit oder Elastizität als die beiden Längsseitenteile 7, 8 gebildet sein kann, bewirkt, dass sich der Trapezgurt optimal den Körperpartien des Surfers oder Seglers anpassen kann, um die er bei seiner Benutzung herumgelegt wird. So kann bei einem Hüftgurt ein optimales Anliegen des Gurtes an die oberen und unteren Rückenpartien bzw. an die Rücken-, Kreuz- und Beckenpartien des Benutzers erreicht werden, selbst dann, wenn dieser ein starkes Hohlkreuz hat. Darüber hinaus gewährleistet dieser Schlitz bzw. die gegebenenfalls vorhandene hoch-biegsame oder -elastische Zone eine höhere Bewegungsfreiheit des Benutzers im Bereich der vom Gurt umgebenen Körperpartien, z.B. eine Bewegungsfreiheit der Hüft- und Rückenwirbel bei Beugung und Streckung des Rückens des Benutzers. Ausserdem bewirkt die erfindungsgemässe Ausbildung des Trapezgurtes mit zwei oder mehr Längsseitenteilen, dass der Gurt während seiner Benutzung nicht an den Körperpartien des Benutzers verrutschen kann, also an den gewünschten Körperpartien, um die er herumgelegt wird, verbleibt. Dies gilt vor allem für Körperpartien mit Einwölbungen, wie Becken-, Kreuz-und Hüftpartien, wo sich der Trapezgurt V-förmig an die schräg zueinanderstehenden Bereiche der von ihm umgebenen Körperpartien V-förmig ankeilen kann (siehe Pfeil in Fig. 1).This slot 9, which can also be formed by a belt zone of greater flexibility or elasticity than the two longitudinal side parts 7, 8, has the effect that the trapezoidal belt can be optimally adapted to the body parts of the surfer or sailor around whom it is placed when it is used. With a hip belt, an optimal fit of the belt to the upper and lower back areas or to the back, cross and pelvic areas of the user can be achieved, even if the user has a strong hollow back. In addition, this slot or the possibly present highly flexible or elastic zone ensures greater freedom of movement for the user in the area of the body parts surrounded by the belt, e.g. freedom of movement of the hip and back vertebrae when the user's back is flexed and stretched. In addition, the inventive design of the trapezoidal belt with two or more longitudinal side parts ensures that the belt cannot slip on the body parts of the user during its use, that is to say remains on the desired body parts around which it is placed. This applies in particular to parts of the body with bulges, such as pelvic, cross and hip parts, where the trapezoidal belt can wedge in a V-shape to the obliquely opposed areas of the body parts surrounding it, in a V-shape (see arrow in FIG. 1).

Die durch den Schlitz oder die besonders elastische oder biegsame Zone getrennten Längsseitenteile des Trapezgurtes entfernen sich bei Beugung des Rückens des Benutzers. Dagegen nähern sie sich bei Streckung des Rückens, aber auch bei der vorbeschriebenen V-förmigen Ankeilung.The longitudinal side parts of the trapezoidal belt separated by the slot or the particularly elastic or flexible zone are removed when the back of the user is bent. On the other hand, they approach when the back is stretched, but also with the V-shaped wedge described above.

Der erfindungsgemässe Trapezgurt kann auch aus zwei oder mehr trennbar miteinander verbundenen Teilgurten bestehen. So ist es möglich, dass der Trapezgurt aus einem eigentlichen unteren Hauptgurt besteht, der als Beckengurt mit der erfindungsgemässen besonders elastischen oder biegsamen streifenförmigen Zone ausgebildet ist, an den ein oberer um die Hüftpartie des Surfers oder Segler herumlegbare Zweitgurt lösbar befestigt ist. Auch dieser Zweitgurt kann mit der besonders elastischen oder biegsamen streifenförmigen Zone ausgestattet sein. Zweckmässig sind dabei die beiden voneinander trennbaren Gurte jeweils selbständig an den Trapeztampen oder den Trapezdraht anhängbar, so dass sie auch ohne den anderen Teil benutzt werden können.The trapezoidal belt according to the invention can also consist of two or more part belts which are separably connected to one another. It is thus possible for the trapezoidal belt to consist of an actual lower main belt, which is designed as a lap belt with the particularly elastic or flexible strip-shaped zone according to the invention, to which an upper second belt which can be folded around the hip part of the surfer or sailor is detachably fastened. This second belt can also be equipped with the particularly elastic or flexible strip-shaped zone. The two straps, which can be separated from one another, are expediently each independently attachable to the trapezoidal rope or the trapezoidal wire, so that they can also be used without the other part.
