Abstract

A chest trapeze (1) is cut to size from a flexible plate (2) made of plastic, which is sewn in a tear-resistant covering (3) made of a synthetic fiber fabric. The chest trapeze (1) has a back part (4), two hip and abdominal parts (5, 6) extending crosswise to the latter and two shoulder parts (7, 8) adjoining the back part (4). A support for the lumbar area of the spinal column (9) of a surfer or sailor, made of support elements (11) with limited flexibility interlocking with one another, is integrated in the back part (4). The mode of action of support elements (11) is such that when the surfer leans back, the support elements are pushed together into a stiff brace matched to the curvature of the spinal column (9) in the lumbar area, and when the surfer bends forward, the support elements spread out from one another into a flexible link belt. Trapeze (1) thus assures that with the various maneuvers, the surfer enjoys full freedom of movement.

Description

Die Erfindung betrifft ein Trapez für Surfer und Segler, mit einem Rückenteil, zwei sich quer zu diesem erstreckenden Hüft- und Bauchteilen und zwei an das Rückenteil anschließenden Schulterteilen, die aus einer oder mehreren flexiblen Platte oder Platten aus einem Kunststoffmaterial bestehen, einem Lendenwirbelstützteil, einem reißfesten Überzug der Platte bzw. Platten aus Kunstfasergewebe sowie mit Rücken- und Schultergurten zur Befestigung des Trapezes an einer Hakenplatte oder einer Spreizschiene mit einem Trapezhaken.The invention relates to a harness for surfers and sailors, with a back part, two hip and stomach parts extending transversely to this and two shoulder parts adjoining the back part, which consist of one or more flexible plates or plates made of a plastic material, a lumbar support part, one tear-resistant covering of the plate or plates made of synthetic fiber as well as with back and shoulder straps for attaching the trapezoid to a hook plate or an expansion rail with a trapezoidal hook.

Derartige Trapeze gemäß der EP 175 955 A1 ermöglichen es dem Surfer oder dem Segler, daß er, wenn er mit dem Surfbrett bzw. dem Segelboot hart am Wind segelt, weit über das Surfbrett bzw. die Bordwand des Segelbootes hinaus ausreiten kann, um auf diese Weise eine günstige Schwerpunktlage zu erreichen. Desweiteren gestattet das gattungsgemäße Trapez dem Surfer und Segler eine starke Entlastung der Arme für Erholungsphasen. Das durch die EP 175 955 A1 bekannte Trapez ist mit einem nach innen gewölbten, dem Lendenwirbelbereich der Wirbelsäule angepaßten Stützteil ausgestattet, das eine optimale Abstützung der Wirbelsäule bewirken und einem Verrutschen des Trapezes am Körper entgegenwirken soll.Trapezoids of this type in accordance with EP 175 955 A1 enable the surfer or the sailor to ride far beyond the surfboard or the side wall of the sailboat, if he is sailing hard on the wind with the surfboard or the sailboat, in order to access them Way to achieve a favorable center of gravity. Furthermore, the generic trapeze allows the surfer and sailor a strong relief of the arms for recovery phases. The trapeze known from EP 175 955 A1 is equipped with an inwardly curved support part which is adapted to the lumbar region of the spine and which is intended to provide optimal support for the spine and to counteract slipping of the trapeze on the body.

Die mit diesem Lendenwirbelstützteil des bekannten Trapezes angestrebte Wirkungsweise ist jedoch unzureichend. Als weiterer Nachteil tritt hinzu, daß die Bewegungsfreiheit des Surfers und des Seglers bei den verschiedenen Manövern durch das in das Trapez integrierte Stützteil behindert wird.However, the mode of action aimed at with this lumbar support part of the known trapezoid is inadequate. Another disadvantage is that the freedom of movement of the surfer and the sailor during the various maneuvers is hindered by the support part integrated into the trapeze.

Der Erfindung liegt die Aufgabe zugrunde, ein Trapez für Surfer und Segler mit einer Abstützung für den Lendenwirbelbereich zu entwickeln, die eine wirkungsvolle Abhilfe bei und Vorbeugung gegen beim Windsurfen und Segeln auftretenden bzw. auftretende Rückenschmerzen ermöglicht, ohne die Bewegungsfreiheit des Surfers und des Seglers einzuschränken.The invention has for its object to develop a harness for surfers and sailors with a support for the lumbar region, which is an effective remedy for and prevention of windsurfing and Back pain that occurs or occurs during sailing without restricting the freedom of movement of the surfer and the sailor.

Diese Aufgabe ist erfindungsgemäß gelöst durch ein Trapez mit den Merkmalen des Patentanspruches 1.This object is achieved according to the invention by a trapezoid with the features of patent claim 1.

Die Unteransprüche beinhalten vorteilhafte und zweckmäßige Weiterbildungen der Erfindung.The subclaims contain advantageous and expedient developments of the invention.

Das erfindungsgemäße Trapez zeichnet sich durch folgende Vorteile aus:
   Die in das Trapez integrierte Abstützung für den Lendenwirbelbereich eines Surfers oder Seglers aus miteinander verzahnten Stützgliedern, die sich bei Zurücklehnen des Surfers oder Seglers zu einem steifen, der Krümmung der Wirbelsäule im Lendenwirbelbereich angepaßten Stützband zusammenschieben und die sich beim Vorbeugen des Surfers oder Seglers zu einem flexiblen Gliederband auseinanderspreizen, gewährleistet eine wirkungsvolle Abhilfe bei und Vorbeugung gegen beim Windsurfen und Segeln auftretenden bzw. auftretende Rückenschmerzen durch eine optimale orthopädische Paßform. Die Stützglieder sorgen für eine optimale Bewegungsfreiheit beim Vorbeugen und eine bequeme Abstützung der Wirbelsäule beim Zurücklehnen. Durch die Befestigung von einem oder zwei Schaumstoffpolstern auf der Innenseite des Rückenteils des Trapezes im Lendenwirbelbereich mittels eines Klettbandverschlusses kann das Trapez der Wirbelsäule des Surfers und des Seglers individuell angepaßt werden. Die Abstützung des Lendenwirbelbereiches durch die miteinander verzahnten Stützglieder in Verbindung mit den federnd ausgebildeten, längenverstellbaren Schultergurten sowie den ebenfalls längenverstellbaren Rücken- und Gesäßgurten ermöglicht eine optimale Kraftübertragung durch das Trapez und dadurch ein kontrolliertes, ermüdungsfreies Windsurfen. Ferner läßt sich die gewünschte Höhe des Trapezhakens durch längenverstellbare Schulter-, Rücken-, Gesäß- und Beingurte stufenlos einstellen. Schließlich schützen die in das Trapez integrierten, begrenzt flexiblen Stützglieder Wirbelsäule, Nieren und Muskulatur vor Verletzungen z.B. bei Zusammenstößen und Stürzen mit Rückenlandungen, und das Trapez sorgt für einen wirksamen Kälteschutz.The trapeze according to the invention is distinguished by the following advantages:
The support integrated into the trapeze for the lumbar region of a surfer or sailor made of interlocking support members, which when the surfer or sailor leans back into a stiff support band, which is adapted to the curvature of the spine in the lumbar region and which forms one when the surfer or sailor bends forward Spreading the flexible limb apart ensures an effective remedy and prevention of back pain occurring or occurring during windsurfing and sailing due to an optimal orthopedic fit. The support links ensure optimal freedom of movement when bending forward and a comfortable support for the spine when leaning back. By attaching one or two foam pads on the inside of the back of the trapezoid in the lumbar region by means of a Velcro fastener, the trapezoid of the spine of the surfer and the sailor can be individually adjusted. The support of the lumbar region through the interlocking support links in connection with the resilient, length-adjustable shoulder straps as well as the length-adjustable back and seat belts enables optimal power transmission through the harness and thus controlled, fatigue-free windsurfing. Furthermore, the desired height of the trapezoidal hook can be adjusted by length Infinitely adjustable shoulder, back, buttock and leg straps. Finally, the limited flexible support elements integrated into the trapeze protect the spine, kidneys and muscles against injuries, for example in the event of collisions and falls with back landings, and the trapeze provides effective protection against the cold.
