Definitions

  • the invention relates to a safety stirrup with a web plate and with a U-shaped top that has two side legs and has an upper base area, in each of the two lateral legs an articulated area is provided which is transverse to the plane which is from the Upper part is stretched, swiveling axes and two through one Connection part connected, opposing connection areas has, which each have a bore for a pivot axis.
  • the joint areas are in the lower, the Web plate adjacent part of the side legs provided. They allow a pivoting movement of the web plate with respect to the upper base area and the adjoining section of the lateral legs above the respective joint areas.
  • each joint area at least three Swivel axes has that the connection areas each have a semicircular shape Have part that is bounded by two flats that are parallel run to the plane mentioned and that two adjacent hinge pins are connected to each other by two connecting parts.
  • This safety stirrup is located between the two Swivel axes, each in the two, opposite each other Connection areas of a joint area are provided, at least one further pivot axis, which is referred to below as the free pivot axis becomes.
  • a particular advantage is that at least one free pivot axis is provided per joint area, the adaptability is one such trained safety stirrups. Depending on your needs Users can namely the leg by inserting additional Swivel axes can be extended. In this way, stirrups can be made better adapt to the needs of the user. It is even possible that execute a leg with more or less pivot axes than that other thigh.
  • a particular advantage of the invention is that two neighboring ones Swivel axes through two connecting parts arranged parallel to each other are interconnected. In this way there are kinking movements across the swivel axes and across the surfaces of the connecting parts now practically excluded.
  • Form the connecting parts pairs the two connecting parts of each pair are in one the largest possible distance from each other. This should at least 2, preferably at least 4 mm.
  • the invention is pending Take advantage of the concept as it does with chains of bicycles, motorcycles and the like is used.
  • the invention preferably sets as a connecting part such substantially 8-shaped connectors as they can also be used in chains of this type.
  • the invention thus uses components for the formation of the articulated areas, such as those of chains of the mentioned type. Because such chains are extremely tensile and are flexible and have proven themselves in practical operation their good properties have also been adopted for the safety stirrups.
  • connection areas are clear executed differently. You no longer have an incision, but instead are separated from each other by two parallel to each other outward-facing flats that run parallel to the plane mentioned and delimited by a transverse arch area.
  • This arc region is preferably a circular arc piece.
  • the hole for the swivel axis is in the center.
  • connection areas designed in this way, as per joint area are now provided by components of a chain of the type mentioned connected with each other.
  • a piece of a finished chain can be used become.
  • special operations are necessary, rather the free swivel axes are located already before.
  • the distance between the two flats is the clear distance between two connecting parts of a commercially available Chain adjusted.
  • Articulated pins such as those used in chains are also used are used for making the swivel connection in the area the hinge pins of the connection areas.
  • the ones used Chain pieces a thickness and depth that correspond to the corresponding dimensions the adjacent areas of the legs. Stand by this the chain pieces not before.
  • the stirrup as shown completely in Figure 1, has a multi-wall sheet 20, which is a support area for a not shown here Training shoe or a boot and a U-shaped upper part 22.
  • the latter has two lateral legs 24, 26 and an upper base region 28 which has an opening or any other type of attachment for one Owns straps.
  • the two legs 24, 26 are each with a in their lower region Joint area 30 provided.
  • a preferred type of manufacture becomes a commercially available, one-piece Stirrups taken and the legs 24, 26 in their severed lower area. The joint arrangement is then between the separation points, as described below, inserted. The Cuts are about 10 to 50, especially 20 to 30 mm above the Upper edge, that is, the contact surface of the web plate 20 made. To this In this way, the sole of a shoe or boot remains below that respective joint areas 30.
  • the web plate 20 is in the embodiment shown provided with a well-known rubber pad.
  • each joint area a section of a commercially available Bicycle or motorcycle chain inserted between two connection areas 32.
  • the stirrup is attached to the Partition adjoining section formed to a connection area 32, by firstly executing two flats 34 parallel to one another can be done, for example, by milling, secondly running transversely, bounded by an arc, in particular a circular arc Bow piece 36 is executed and thirdly, a bore 38 for a hinge pin 40 is inserted, the order of these steps is any.
  • the bore 38 is in the center of the circle here executed arc piece 36.
  • the hinge pins 40 correspond to those as they are used in the chains mentioned.
  • connection areas 32 are, as stated, by a Section of a chain connected together.
  • This section consists of at least two pairs of connecting parts 42, furthermore at least a hinge pin 40 and a spacer roller 44.
  • the connection areas 32 of a joint area are preferably identical.
  • each joint area 30 thus has three pivot axes. All Articulation pins 40 of both articulation areas 30 of a safety stirrup run parallel to each other. Their distance from each other is the same, it is e.g. 10 to 15, especially 12.5 mm.
  • the connecting parts 42 have essentially the shape of an 8. They have two holes each for two adjacent hinge pins 40. Two each Adjacent hinge pins 40 are separated by two parallel pins Connecting parts 42 connected to each other. Where two pairs of Connecting parts 42 have the same hinge pin 40, so in the case of free pivot axes, the connecting parts of the one pair are opposite offset from that of the other pair, e.g. inside or towards offset from the outside, as can be seen in particular from FIGS. 1 and 3. So that the pairs of connecting parts 42 have the same or different clear distances.
  • the material thickness is d and r of the two legs 24, 26 in the vicinity of the joint area 30 at least so large that d is greater than the length of a hinge pin 40 and r is equal to or slightly larger than the corresponding width of a connecting part 42 is.
  • d is greater than the length of a hinge pin 40 and r is equal to or slightly larger than the corresponding width of a connecting part 42 is.
  • A is therefore preferred Cross section of the legs 24, 26, which is adapted to the corresponding Cross section of the selected chain piece.
  • the two joint areas 30 of a stirrup are usually identical in construction executed. But they can also be designed differently. So a leg with a joint area with three pivot axes be executed, while the other has a joint area with four pivot axes Has.
  • the joint regions 30 are through a protective tube 46 envelops that close to the adjacent leg areas of the legs 24, 26 abuts and therefore against the joint areas as much as possible Protects dirt and moisture.
  • the protective tube 46 sealed against the leg pieces 24, 26 by suitable measures be, for example, by silicone or the like.
  • the clear distance between two protective tubes 46 becomes one Adjusted sole of a rider's boot or shoe.
  • you can here widening pieces 48 are used, as exemplified in Figure 1 are shown. They are e.g. designed as short hose sections, which are outside the protective tube 46.
  • the clear width D becomes chosen so that the sole is easily pinched. That way achieved a secure assignment between the stirrups and the sole.
  • the protective tube is preferably made of the EPDM elastomer. It has a Shore A hardness of 50 to 80, preferably 60 to 70, in particular 65. The elongation at break is over 300%, preferably it is greater than or equal to 400%. The tensile strength is over 10 N / mm 2 .
  • the individual joint areas 30 can also always be produced for production reasons twist something.
  • Such a torsion can be deliberately up to +/- 5 ° rotation, in particular up to +/- 10 ° rotation, preferably up to set to +/- 15 ° rotation about the axis of the joint area 30 become.
  • the web plate 20 can be rotated relative to the upper part 20.
  • a degree of freedom is advantageous.
