Definitions
- the invention relates to a surfboard, the rear area of which has a flexible tongue which is narrow in the vertical direction at the bottom, the bending area of which is limited by an elastic device, and which has covering material at the top.
- Such a board has the property that when driving straight ahead, in which the weight of the surfer is partly absorbed by his arms due to the inclined driving style, it retains (largely) the shape that it has inherited from the home, but when cornering, when the surfer can transfer more pressure to the board, the rear of the board bends, which makes cornering easier.
- the invention has for its object to design the surfboard defined in such a way that it is simpler than the known and less space-consuming in the vertical direction.
- the design according to the invention is distinguished from the known by greater simplicity and smaller space requirements in the vertical direction.
- a further development of the invention is that the space above the tongue is filled with highly elastic material. That brings among other things the advantage that the surfer's feet are cushioned, which is perceived as pleasant.
- tongue-fixed or stringer-fixed bases are located below the stringer, which end at a short distance from the stringer or the tongue. In this way it is achieved that a downward bending of the tongue is limited.
- springs between the tongue and the stringer which are preferably adjustable with regard to the spring characteristic. This measure serves to influence the bending line of the tongue when the tongue is bent upwards or downwards.
- FIG. 1 shows a section along the line II-II of FIG. 2 through a first embodiment of the invention, 2 is a top view of this first embodiment;
- FIG. 4 shows a section along line IV-IV of FIG. 5 through a second embodiment of the invention
- FIG. 5 shows a top view of this second embodiment
- FIG. 6 shows a section along line VI-VI of FIG. 7 through a third embodiment of the invention
- Fig. 7 is a plan view of this third embodiment.
- Figures 1 and 2 show the rear end of a surfboard according to the invention.
- This consists of a tongue 1, two supports 2 and 3, a stringer 4 clamped between the supports 2 and 3, an elastic buffer 5 between the stringer 4 and the support 2, highly elastic filler material 6 above the tongue 1 (in FIG. 2) the material omitted) and loops 7 and 8 for holding the surfer's feet.
- the stringer 4 is mounted in a longitudinally displaceable manner with respect to the support 2 by means of a bolt 9 which is inserted into slots 10 of two brackets 11 fixed to the support. It is supported by a plate 12 on the rubber buffer 5, which in turn rests with the front end of the support 2.
- the rubber buffer 5 thus causes an elastic mounting of the stringer 4 in the longitudinal direction of the board.
- Figure 3 shows this storage in detail.
- the rubber buffer 3 is pulled through by a screw 13.
- a nut 14 sits on the screw 13.
- the rubber buffer 5 has a biconvex shape in the unloaded state.
- the two convex surfaces can be pressed together by means of the screw 13 and the nut 14. In this way it is possible to adjust the elasticity of the rubber buffer 3.
- Figures 4 and 5 show the rear of another embodiment. This consists of a tongue 1, a bearing arm 15, two stringers 4, two elastic buffers 16 tongue-fixed bases 17, spring washers 18 between the stringers 4 and the tongue 1 and cross struts 19 between the stringers 4.
- the association, consisting of the stringer 4 and the buffer 16 is clamped between the bearing arm 15 and a base 20.
- the latter is located in a board surface that runs vertically or at an angle.
- the springs 18 are connected to the stringer by screws 21. These screws make it possible to change the distance between the springs 18 and the stringers 4 and in this way to adjust the spring force of the springs 18.
- Two successive foot straps, not shown, are located between the bearing arm 15 and the adjacent cross strut 19 on the one hand and the two cross struts 19 on the other hand.
- the space above tongue 1 is filled with highly elastic material.
- a buffer 16 can be adjustable in terms of its elasticity. On the other hand, it can also be missing. Then, however, the stringer 4 should be elastic in itself. It is also conceivable that there is a distance between the stringer 4 and the bearing 20 or the buffer 16 in the basic position of the board, in such a way that the bending and torsional forces are applied only by the tongue in an initial bending region of the tongue and The stringer and stop surface serve as a limitation of the bending.
- Figures 6 and 7 show an embodiment, which is characterized in that a rear according to the inventive design retrofitted to a surfboard conventional type, in which the rear has been cut off, has been attached.
- the tongue 1 protrudes further forward than the rest of the tail. Its protruding part is attached to the remaining part of the surfboard by means of dowels 22.
- the rear surface of the remaining part of the surfboard is provided with a layer 24 of high-strength plastic.
- the stringers 4 are connected to the tabs 23 via rubber buffers 25. These buffers have the shape of curved cuboids. They can be pressed together using screws 26 in such a way that they approach an unbent cuboid. In this way, the elasticity of the rubber buffers can be increased.
