Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a method and an apparatus for Braking vehicles, especially racing vehicles on the edge of one Racetrack.
  • DE 44 18 554 A1 describes a device for securing Known danger areas on a race track where moving Barriers that represent the kinetic energy of a stray from the road Destroy vehicle, are provided.
  • the barrier is made of compliant interconnected elements, the barrier being positive and resiliently in contact with the ground. This is done in the ground Rails embedded in which are vertical, that is, with the tread down, arranged tires can move. Since the barrier is in one Is arranged curve, the rails are not parallel, but spread arranged in the floor. In addition, the tires with an elastic band connected to absorb the spreading effect when a vehicle hits to be able to.
  • the two ends of the barriers are fixed by a flexible band anchored and thus only allow an expansion of the barrier.
  • AT 372 443 B describes a noise barrier made from stacks of tires, that can be planted. There are two tires on top of each other connected by screws and an unwanted movement of the The noise barrier is made up of vertical iron bars or pipes, struck into the ground prevented. This proposal for one Noise barrier is not suitable to be used as a device in racing Braking of vehicles to be used.
  • DE 33 08 651 A1 describes a network of tire-shaped bodies for used the old tire in whole or appropriately cut form become.
  • the network serves as a fence for the protection of people, animals and Objects. Posts are provided for the network, between stretch the respective network is located. This network is firmly anchored to the ground and should still be effective in terms of safety for racing lie behind the tire stacks mentioned above.
  • a barrier is made up of two-row barrier modules described stacked flat tire stack that offset are arranged one above the other and between a base plate and a Cover plate are connected by means of clamps.
  • the bottom plate has that Advantage that these barrier modules for racing to the appropriate Places where there is a danger to the racers, easily arranged and can be moved by the impact.
  • This barrier is also used to to mark the course of the racetrack.
  • No. 3,951,384 describes one of the formable absorption devices described, which consists of stacked tires stack that with Bands are connected together and anchored to the floor. To increase The absorbency is still suggested to the interior of the tires with empty, fragile containers such as plastic bottles or Fill metal cans. These tire stacks are positioned in front of a wall.
  • WO 98/06904 A also describes the system of Arrangement of tire stacks to protect racers from obstacles such as for example trees, posts, bridge pillars, walls or the like. Also here the individual tires are connected to each other by means of straps and on Fixed to the floor or other suitable places.
  • the present invention is therefore based on the object of one possibility propose that the vehicles can be safely braked without that the driver and the vehicle are significantly damaged.
  • the vehicle is braked by in one to the Racetrack adjacent clearance an elastic chain-like and out individual movably connected elements of existing Catch fence arranged and one coming from the racetrack and into the Fence immersing vehicle through the elastic movement of the Fangzaunes is braked.
  • an elastic chain-like and out individual movably connected elements of existing Catch fence arranged and one coming from the racetrack and into the Fence immersing vehicle through the elastic movement of the Fangzaunes is braked.
  • damping can also be used in addition to the friction or instead of the friction through at the end of the Catching fences arranged and firmly anchored damping elements take place however, free movement of the fence as such allows the Also dampen movement to a standstill.
  • the weight of the individual elements should be as low as possible, the individual elements must also be elastic in themselves. So that the hardness of the impact significantly reduced.
  • Car tires are used as elements for this, as these meet the required requirements Have properties and are also cheaply available.
  • this has elastic and chain-like movable interconnected fence elements, which preferably exceed the height of the racing vehicle in their total height.
  • the individual safety fence elements preferably car tires
  • the catch elements are interlocking stacked and movably connected to each other at the points of contact, because through this staggered arrangement the number of safety fence elements and that Dead weight of the individual elements in the range of a possible Impact point is kept as low as possible.
  • the ends of the safety fence are advantageously fixed Anchoring, preferably on the floor, connected to create a whip effect in the shape to avoid the ends due to the movement beat up.
  • connection of the individual fence elements can be done for the respective Load-resistant cords or other suitable fasteners respectively.
  • the invention thus enables an inexpensive construction of a safety fence by using existing objects that are both linear and causes smooth deceleration of the vehicle. This will make a significant contribution done for the safety of the racers.
  • Fig. 1 shows a safety fence 1 made of individual interconnected Car tire 2, which at its end via a safety line 3 on a fixed Floor anchor 4 is fixed.
  • a vehicle entering in the direction of the arrow causes the flexible tire wall to shift as a fence and brakes the penetrating vehicle continuously.
  • the length of one Catch fences 1 must be of sufficient size to be suitable Total mass, which is approximately the mass of the vehicle entering should correspond, so that the kinetic energy of the vehicle can be broken down.
  • the catch fence must not be too long, otherwise the catch fence cannot be moved enough and then the Braking deceleration would increase too much.
  • Fig. 2 shows a side view of a safety fence according to Fig. 2a in Fig. 2a
  • Catch fence consists of individual, as shown in the figure, offset arranged tire stack 5, which are flexibly connected to each other.
  • Fig. 2b is an enlarged view of the flexible connection between two Car tires 2 by means of a belt 6, the rotational movement of each Tires against each other like a chain.
  • tapes can suitable tapes with a corresponding tensile strength, for example Roller shutter belts or the like can be used.
  • Fig. 2c shows a car tire 2 of the lower layer in an enlarged view, the is fixed to an end band 8 by means of an additional band 7, all of which Tires the lower ply connects together to raise the To prevent tire wall.
  • the length of such a fence should be at least twenty meters Depending on the application, safety fences with a length of thirty to forty meters can be used.
  • the height of the tire stack in the center of the tag fence corresponds to the commonly used height of five to six tires, this height also according to the mass of racing cars judges. In truck racing it is certainly of a greater height and one correspondingly greater length of the tire wall to go out to achieve the required mass.
