Definitions
- the invention relates to a slalom goal, consisting of a right and a left goal bar, which are connected at the top by a flag, at least one of the goal bars has a tilt joint.
- the invention avoids these disadvantages. It is based on the task of proposing a slalom goal that can no longer cause damage to the slalom goal or injuries to the racers. Also, the slalom goal should immediately return to its normal position after being touched by the skier in question, so that the next racer can start without the goal in question having to be directed again.
- the invention is characterized in that the connection of the flag to one of the two goal bars is effected via at least one elastic band, which is attached to the ends of the flag pointing to the relevant goal bar, which is through this goal bar goes down and is attached to the goal bar in the lower area of the goal bar.
- the elastic band has a sufficient length because it extends over a substantial part of the length of the relevant gate bar. It is also protected because it is housed inside the gate bar.
- Another advantage of the slalom gate according to the invention is that in strong gusts of wind, which have previously even caused the gate bars to bend, the wind-absorbing flag can yield, so that the full wind power no longer acts on the flag, also due to the elastic band described.
- the gate bar After the downhill runner has touched the relevant gate bar, the gate bar straightens up again and the flag also returns to its normal position because the elastic band pulls it back into its original position. All this takes place immediately after the downhill runner touches the relevant gate bar, so that the slalom goal is nevertheless immediately ready for the next runner. Due to the design of the slalom gate according to the invention, it can yield sufficiently and there is practically no longer any risk of injury to the runner in question, so that the dreaded impact and the whip effect of known, previously used slalom gates no longer occur. This impact occurred particularly in giant slalom if conventional slalom gates were used. However, the invention can be used for all slalom goals, for example also for normal slalom, for downhill runs, for the Super-G slalom and for giant slalom.
- Another advantage of the invention is that flagging out is made easier because the distance between the two goal bars is variable within certain limits, but again due to the elastic band (s) by means of which the flag is attached to the relevant goal bar. After all, the flag always stays taut, also due to the elastic bands. It has already been pointed out that the tilting rod can no longer be bent by strong wind, which is also advantageous.
- the elastic will be attached to the rigid rod.
- the reverse arrangement is also possible, in which the elastic band is fastened to the tilting rod, or the flag is even connected to both rods by means of such elastic bands.
- the invention remedies that a receptacle is formed at the relevant end of the flag for the attachment of the flag to the other gate rail, into which the upper end of the door rail in question is inserted.
- This receptacle or pocket ensures a simple and easily detachable connection of the flag to the relevant gate travel rod, so that the runner can simply push the flag upwards from the relevant gate travel rod (tilting rod).
- This attachment is sufficient because, as mentioned, the flag is stretched sufficiently taut via the elastic band. From the foregoing it also follows that it is advantageous if the attachment is provided on the rigid rod by means of the elastic band and the above-mentioned receptacle or pocket on the gate rod with the tilt joint.
- Fig. 1 - a schematic view of a Torlauf ⁇ rod according to the invention in a first embodiment
- Fig. 2 - a partial view of the left Torlauf ⁇ rod according to Fig. 1 in a contrast to modified embodiment.
- the slalom gate consists of a left, rigid gate bar 21, a right gate bar 15, which can be tilted via a tilt joint 13, and a flag 20.
- the flag is connected to one of the gate rods 15, 21 by means of elastic bands 16, 17.
- Fig. 1 shows that for this purpose the rubber cables are attached to the relevant end of the flag 20 via rings 18, 19. They are then guided through the interior of the hollow gate bar 21 and fastened to the gate bar in the lower region thereof, for example to a fastening flange 1.
- Another elastic band 25 can connect the rings 18, 19 to one another in order to keep the flag taut in the direction of the arrow 2. This elastic band 25 is not absolutely necessary.
- the attachment between the flag and the right gate rod 15 takes place via a pocket or receptacle 14 (hemstitch), so that the flag only has to be pushed over the gate rod 15 from above. If a skier encounters the lower edge A of the flag 20 from below, with the tilting rod 15 inclined, this is stripped off in the direction of arrow 2 by the gate rod 15.
- One of the elastic bands 16, 17 can be weaker than the other, so that the flag yields there particularly well when wind occurs.
- Fig. 2 shows a second embodiment, in which one gets by with a single elastic band 37, which is guided over a roller 38, which is attached to a fastening element 39 similar to the flange 1 is rotatably attached.
- Fig. 2 also shows that the elastic band is guided through lateral openings in the rod 21 to the outside.
- the connection points to the flag 20 are indicated. 2 carries position 42.
- disk-shaped anchoring elements 41 are provided, which are pivoted outward from their inactive position shown in the drawing as soon as the gate bar rotates about its axis in one direction or the other is rotated. This is known in and of itself.
- the tip 40 with the element 39 is in the lower end of the
- Conventional goal bars can also be retrofitted according to the invention, in which case a thinner bar is then preferably inserted into the tube 42 from above.
- the elastic band 37 or the elastic bands 16, 17 then runs in this thinner rod.
- the lower ends of the elastic bands are preferably fastened to the thinner rod by means of a plate with through holes for the ends of the rubber bands, which ends closing the lower end of the thinner rod are knotted at the lower ends of the plate so that they can no longer slide through the holes.
- the attachment is similar to one single elastic band 37 according to FIG. 2.
- the thinner rod is inserted into the tube 42 in a snug fit and held there by clamping, optionally supported by a screw connection or the like.
- this component guides the elastic band (s) into the lower area of the actual door runner and defines such that the upper ends of the elastic bands can be led out of the side of the door runner, ie shown in the drawing.
