Abstract

The lip-type seal for the bottom closure of the inlet opening (2) for dagger board housing (3) and dagger board (4), intended for sailboards, exhibits two mounting strips (6) of a hard plastic with a sealing lip (7) of an elastic plastic, countersunk on both sides of the inlet opening into the board hull (1) and terminating with the profile (5) of the underwater hull. The mounting strip (6) is fashioned as a U-profile with an inner (8) and an outer, short leg (9), these legs being joined by a web (10) extending obliquely in correspondence with the profile (5) of the underwater hull. The sealing lip (7) adjoining the mounting web (10) of the mounting strip (6) has a rounded sealing edge (11) passing over into an elastic supporting leg (12) oriented obliquely upwardly, the supporting leg being attached to the outer leg (9) of the mounting strip (6). The mounting strip (6) is pressed or glued, with the inner leg (8), into a corresponding groove (14) in the board hull (1). The sealing lip (7) forms, together with the supporting leg (12) and the outer leg (9) of the mounting strip (6), an elastic hollow-profile strip (18).

Description

Die Erfindung betrifft eine Lippenabdichtung aus Kunststoff für den unteren Abschluß der Aufnahmeöffnung für Schwertkasten und Schwert, insbesondere bei Surfbrettern, mit je einer auf jeder Seite der Aufnahmeöffnung im Brettkörper befestigten, mit dem Profil des Unterwasserschiffs bündigen Befestigungsleiste aus hartem Kunststoff und einer zusammen mit dieser als Strangpreßprofil hergestellten Dichtlippe aus elastischem Kunststoff, wobei die Dichtlippen einen elastischen Verschluß der Aufnahmeöffnung für Schwertkasten und Schwert bilden.The invention relates to a lip seal made of plastic for the lower end of the receiving opening for sword box and sword, in particular for surfboards, with one attached to each side of the receiving opening in the board body, flush with the profile of the underwater ship fastening strip made of hard plastic and one together with this Extruded profile made sealing lip made of elastic plastic, the sealing lips forming an elastic closure of the receiving opening for the sword case and sword.

Die Praxis hat gezeigt, daß die Dichtwirkung einer derartigen, aus der DE 36 29 777 C2 bekannten Lippenabdichtung nicht optimal ist. Ferner benötigt die bekannte Lippenabdichtung eine gesonderte, in den Brettkörper eingelassene Trägerleiste, an der die Befestigungsleiste mit der Dichtlippe angeklemmt wird, so daß diese Lippenabdichtung für in großen Serien hergestellte Surfbretter von der Konstruktion her verhältnismäßig aufwendig ist.Practice has shown that the sealing effect of such a lip seal known from DE 36 29 777 C2 is not optimal. Furthermore, the known lip seal requires a separate, embedded in the board body support bar, to which the fastening bar is clamped with the sealing lip, so that this lip seal is relatively complex in construction for surfboards manufactured in large series.

Der Erfindung liegt die Aufgabe zugrunde, eine gegenüber der gattungsgemäßen Lippenabdichtung vereinfachte Lippenabdichtung mit einer verbesserten Dichtwirkung für den unteren Abschluß der Aufnahmeöffnung für Schwertkasten und Schwert bei Surfbrettern zu entwickeln.The invention has for its object to develop a simplified lip seal compared to the generic lip seal with an improved sealing effect for the lower end of the receiving opening for sword box and sword on surfboards.

Diese Aufgabe ist erfindungsgemäß gelöst durch eine Lippenabdichtung mit den Merkmalen des Patentanspruchs 1.This object is achieved according to the invention by a lip seal with the features of patent claim 1.

Die Unteransprüche beinhalten zweckmäßige Ausgestaltungen der Erfindung.The dependent claims contain expedient refinements of the invention.

Die als elastische Hohlprofilleiste ausgebildete Lippenabdichtung ist aufgrund ihrer optimalen Steifigkeit gegen Wasserdruck bei ein- und ausgeschwenkter Stellung des Schwertes völlig dicht. Die Befestigungsleiste mit der Dichtlippe besitzt eine strömungsgünstige Oberfläche. Die Dichtlippe, zu deren Befestigung am Unterwasserschiff lediglich eine einteilig mit der Lippe ausgebildete, in den Brettkörper einzupressende oder einzuklebende Leiste erforderlich ist, stellt ein einfaches Teil dar, das sehr kostengünstig herzustellen ist, da die Befestigungsleiste aus hartem Kunststoff, z.B. Polyvinylchlorid, und die Dichtlippe aus weichem Kunststoff, z.B. Polyurethan, bei entsprechender Gestaltung des Strangpreßmundstücks eines Extruders aus diesen relativ preisgünstigen Materialien gleichzeitig stranggepreßt werden können und sich die beiden unterschiedlichen Kunststoffe beim Aushärten fest miteinander verbinden.The lip seal, which is designed as an elastic hollow profile strip, is completely sealed due to its optimal rigidity against water pressure when the sword is swiveled in and out. The fastening strip with the sealing lip has a streamlined surface. The sealing lip, for the attachment of which to the underwater ship only a bar which is formed in one piece with the lip and is to be pressed or glued into the board body is required, represents a simple part which can be produced very inexpensively, since the fastening bar is made of hard plastic, e.g. Polyvinyl chloride, and the sealing lip made of soft plastic, e.g. Polyurethane, with an appropriate design of the extrusion die of an extruder, can be extruded from these relatively inexpensive materials at the same time and the two different plastics firmly bond to one another during curing.

Die Erfindung ist nachstehend anhand einer ausschnittweisen Querschnittsdarstellung eines Surfbretts im Bereich des Schwertkastens näher erläutert.The invention is explained in more detail below with the aid of a partial cross-sectional representation of a surfboard in the area of the sword case.

Die Lippenabdichtung für den unteren Abschluß der Aufnahmeöffnung 2 im Brettkörper 1 für den von oben eingesetzten Schwertkasten 3 und das Schwert 4 weist zwei beidseitig der Aufnahmeöffnung 2 in den Brettkörper 1 eingelassene, mit dem Profil 5 des Unterwasserschiffes abschließende Befestigungsleisten 6 mit einer elastischen Dichtlippe 7 auf.The lip seal for the lower end of the receiving opening 2 in the board body 1 for the sword box 3 inserted from above and the sword 4 has two mounting strips 6 with an elastic sealing lip 7, which are inserted on both sides of the receiving opening 2 into the board body 1 and which terminate with the profile 5 of the underwater ship .

Die Befestigungsleiste 6 ist als U-Profil ausgebildet mit einem inneren 8 und einem äußeren, kurzen Schenkel 9, die durch einen entsprechend dem Profil 5 des Unterwasserschiffes schräg verlaufenden Steg 10 miteinander verbunden sind. Die auf der Seite des äußeren Schenkels 9 an den Verbindungssteg 10 der Befestigungsleiste 6 anschließende Dichtlippe 7 ist an der der Befestigungsleiste 6 abgewandten Längsseite zu einer abgerundeten Dichtkante 11 geformt, die in einen schräg nach oben gerichteten, elastischen Stützschenkel 12 übergeht, der an die freie Endkante des äußeren Schenkels 9 der Befestigungsleiste 6 angesetzt ist. Der gegenüber der Dichtlippe 7 steifere Stützschenkel 12 weist eine größere Stärke 13 als die Dichtlippe 7 auf.The fastening strip 6 is designed as a U-profile with an inner 8 and an outer, short leg 9, which by a corresponding to the profile 5 of the underwater ship inclined web 10 are interconnected. The on the side of the outer leg 9 to the connecting web 10 of the fastening strip 6 sealing lip 7 is formed on the longitudinal side facing away from the fastening strip 6 to a rounded sealing edge 11, which merges into an obliquely upward, elastic support leg 12 which passes to the free End edge of the outer leg 9 of the mounting bar 6 is attached. The support leg 12, which is stiffer than the sealing lip 7, has a greater thickness 13 than the sealing lip 7.

Die Befestigungsleisten 6 sind mit dem inneren Schenkel 8 in entsprechende Nuten 14 im Brettkörper 1 auf beiden Seiten der Aufnahmeöffnung 2 eingepreßt oder eingeklebt und liegen mit der Innenfläche 15 des Verbindungssteges 10 ganz bzw. teilweise an den Rändern 16, 17 der Aufnahmeöffnung 2 an.The mounting strips 6 are pressed or glued with the inner leg 8 into corresponding grooves 14 in the board body 1 on both sides of the receiving opening 2 and lie with the inner surface 15 of the connecting web 10 completely or partially on the edges 16, 17 of the receiving opening 2.

Jeweils eine Befestigungsleiste 6 aus hartem Kunststoff, z.B. Polyvinylchlorid, und eine Dichtlippe 7 sowie ein Stützschenkel 12 aus einem elastischen Kunststoff wie Polyurethan sind zusammen als Strangpreßprofil hergestellt.One fastening strip 6 each made of hard plastic, e.g. Polyvinyl chloride, and a sealing lip 7 and a support leg 12 made of an elastic plastic such as polyurethane are produced together as an extruded profile.

Die Dichtlippe 7 bildet zusammen mit dem Stützschenkel 12 und dem äußeren, kurzen Schenkel 9 der Befestigungsleiste 6 eine elastische Hohlprofilleiste 18, deren Steifigkeit in Ausklapprichtung a des Schwertes 4 geringer ist als in Einklapprichtung b des Schwertes. Diese Wirkungsweise der in die Hohlprofilleiste 18 integrierten Dichtlippe 7 gewährleistet, daß die beiden Dichtlippen 7 der Lippenabdichtung einen elastischen, dichten Verschluß der Öffnung zur Aufnahme des Schwertkastens 3 und des Schwertes 4 in der eingeklappten 4' und der ausgeklappten Stellung 4'' des Schwertes 4 bilden, wobei die Dichtwirkung der Lippenabdichtung auch bei hohem, bei einem starken Wellengang auf dem Unterwasserschiff lastenden Wasserdruck durch die Versteifung der Dichtlippen 7 mit Hilfe der Stützschenkel 12 gewährleistet ist. Die in Ausklapprichtung a des Schwertes 4 verminderte Steifigkeit der Dichtlippe 7 garantiert eine mittlere Leichtgängigkeit des Schwertes 4, so daß die für das Ausklappen des Schwertes erforderliche Handkraft von jedem Surfer beherrschbar ist, und die beim Einklappen des Schwertes durch die größere Steifigkeit der Dichtlippen 7 in Einklapprichtung b ansteigende Betätigungskraft kann aufgrund der Handhabungsmöglichkeit des Schwertes mit dem Fuß ohne weiteres von jedem Surfer aufgebracht werden.The sealing lip 7 forms, together with the support leg 12 and the outer, short leg 9 of the fastening strip 6, an elastic hollow profile strip 18, the stiffness of which in the extension direction a of the sword 4 is lower than in the folding direction b of the sword. This mode of operation of the sealing lip 7 integrated into the hollow profile strip 18 ensures that the two sealing lips 7 of the lip seal provide an elastic, tight closure of the opening for receiving the sword case 3 and the sword 4 in the folded-in 4 'and the unfolded position 4''of the sword 4 form, the sealing effect of the lip seal is ensured by the stiffening of the sealing lips 7 with the help of the support legs 12 even at high water pressure on the underwater ship when there is a strong swell. The one in the fold-out direction a of the sword 4 reduced stiffness of the sealing lip 7 guarantees a medium smoothness of the sword 4, so that the hand force required for folding out the sword can be mastered by any surfer, and increasing when folding the sword due to the greater rigidity of the sealing lips 7 in the folding direction b Operating power can be easily applied by any surfer due to the ability to handle the sword with the foot.

Bei einer Beschädigung einer Dichtlippe 7 kann die Befestigungsleiste 6 mit dem inneren Schenkel 8 aus der Nut 14 im Brett 1 gelöst und ausgetauscht werden.If a sealing lip 7 is damaged, the fastening strip 6 with the inner leg 8 can be detached from the groove 14 in the board 1 and replaced.
