Description

Die Erfindung betrifft ein zweigeteiltes Snowboard nach dem Oberbegriff des Ansprüchs 1.The invention relates to a two-part snowboard according to the preamble of claim 1.

Ein solches Snowboard ist aus der DE 196 28 248 A1 bekannt. Dort sind die beiden Gleitkörper über ein Gelenkgestänge miteinander verbunden, welches eine Drehung des Gelenkgestänges relativ zu den Gleitkörpern jeweils um eine zu der Mittelquerachse parallele Querachse ermöglicht. Mit diesem Snowboard ist ein Gleiten auf Schnee aber nur sehr beschränkt möglich, da sich die beiden Gleitkörper beim Fahren unkontrolliert in den Gelenken bewegen können.Such a snowboard is known from DE 196 28 248 A1. The two are there Slider connected to each other via a linkage, which a rotation of the Joint linkage relative to the sliding bodies in each case about a parallel to the central transverse axis Enables transverse axis. With this snowboard, gliding on snow is only very good limited possible, since the two sliding bodies in the uncontrolled when driving Can move joints.

Die DE 93 15 355 U beschreibt ebenfalls ein zweiteiliges Snowboard, wobei die einzelnen Gleitkörper über eine Verbindungsstange verbunden sind. Die Gelenke am Ende der Verbindungsstange sind im Zwischenraum zwischen den erhöhten Aufstandsflächen für den Benutzer und den Gleitkörpern angebracht. Die Gelenke sind um 360° frei drehbar gelagert, was dazu führt, daß das zweiteilige Snowboard durch die beim Fahren auftretenden hohen Kräfte und Momente ebenfalls unfahrbar ist. Zudem führt die erhöhte Standposition des Benutzers dazu, daß ein starkes Ungleichgewichtsgefühl durch die Schwerpunktverlagerung nach oben entsteht. Auch dieser Umstand ist für das kontrollierte Fahren nicht gerade förderlich.DE 93 15 355 U also describes a two-part snowboard, the individual Sliders are connected via a connecting rod. The joints at the end of the Connecting rod are in the space between the raised contact patches for the Users and the sliders attached. The joints are freely rotatable through 360 °, which means that the two-piece snowboard due to the high when driving Forces and moments are also impassable. In addition, the elevated position of the User causes a strong feeling of imbalance due to the shift in center of gravity arises upwards. This is also not exactly the case for controlled driving conducive.

Die US 56 18 051 A beschreibt zwei Gleitkörper, die mit verschiedenen Gummiriemen, Bändern oder ähnlichen Verbindungselementen verbunden sind. Die elastisch ausgeführten Verbindungseinrichtungen führen dazu, daß der für ein kontrolliertes Fahren erforderliche definierte Abstand zwischen den Gleikörpern nicht gewährleistet werden kann. Durch reine Muskelkraft des Benutzers kann ein solches Gerät nicht kontrolliert werden.The US 56 18 051 A describes two sliding bodies, which with different rubber belts, Bands or similar fasteners are connected. The elastic version Connection devices cause the necessary for a controlled driving defined distance between the track bodies can not be guaranteed. By pure Such a device cannot be controlled by the user's muscular strength.

Die FR 27 39 297 A1 beschreibt eine Verbindungsmöglichkeit für Mini-Ski über eine bzw. mehrere Torsionsstangen oder über ein Gummilager zwischen dem hinteren Ende des ersten Mini-Ski und dem vorderen Ende des zweiten Mini-Ski. Die Torsionsstangen sind dabei fest bzw. in Längsrichtung verstellbar mit den Skielementen verbunden, aber nicht durch Gelenke mit denselben verbunden. Die Verbindung der Skielemente durch ein Gummilager ermöglicht zwar die Verdrehung des vorderen zum hinteren Mini-Ski, aber die für die gesteuerte Kurvenfahrt notwendige Parallelverschiebung der Skielemente zueinander ist nicht möglich.FR 27 39 297 A1 describes a connection option for mini skis via or several torsion bars or a rubber mount between the rear end of the first Mini-ski and the front end of the second mini-ski. The torsion bars are fixed or adjustable in the longitudinal direction with the ski elements, but not by joints connected to them. The connection of the ski elements by a rubber bearing allows the rotation of the front to the rear mini-ski, but for the Controlled cornering is not necessary parallel shift of the ski elements to each other possible.

Diese Aufgabe wird erfindungsgemäß durch die Merkmale im Ansprüch 1 gelöst. Die weitere Ausgestaltung der Erfindung ist in den Unteransprüchen 2 bis 20 aufgerührt.This object is achieved by the features in claim 1 solved. The further embodiment of the invention is in subclaims 2 to 20 stirred up.

Durch die Erfindung wird erreicht, daß das zweiteilige Snowboard sehr gut steuerbar und kontrollierbar ist. Die Steuerung des Snowboards erfolgt nicht ausschließlich Ober eine Gewichtsverlagerung des Körpers des Benutzers, sondern durch das Verdrehen der Beine des Benutzers. Die gradgenaue Steuerungsmöglichkeit des Snowboards ermöglicht kontrollierte Richtungswechsel, wobei das Gleichgewichtsvermögen des Benutzers nicht die entscheidende Rolle für den Richtungswechsel spielt. Durch die Erfindung wird weiter erreicht, daß ein zweiteiliges Snowboard, das über eine Verbindungsvorrichtung der Snowboardelemente verfügt, in welche ein Rückstellmoment integriert ist, für alle Geschwindigkeitsbereiche, in denen das zweiteilige Snowboard bewegt wird, optimal und individuell durch Schnellverstellung an die jeweilige Fahrsituation angepaßt werden kann. D.h. bei schnellen Bergabfahrten kann das Gesamtverhalten des zweiteiligen Snowboards sehr steif eingestellt werden und bei Kurvenfahrten mit engem Kurvenradius ist eine weiche Einstellung der Gelenkelemente möglich. Dabei sind zwei verschiedene Schnellverstellungen möglich. Die erste Einstellmöglichkeit besteht an dem Hauptgelenkelement, welches Torsion-, Biege- und Druckkräfte in drei Ebenen aufnehmen kann und per Handdrehgriff in seiner Steifigkeit verstellt werden kann. Die zweite Einstellmöglichkeit besteht im Bereich des Verbindungsgestänges der Verbindungsvorrichtung. Der Bewegungsspielraum und das Rückstellmoment des Verbindungsgestänges in der horizontalen Ebene kann per Handdrehgriff ebenfalls sehr schnell verstellt und den jeweiligen Fahrsituationen angepaßt werden. Beide Verstellmöglichkeiten können so weit gehen, daß die Gelenke auf Block gehen und eine starre Verbindung zwischen den Gleitkörpern und dem Verbindungsgestänges hergestellt werden kann. Die Verbindungsvorrichtung ist dann als starre Verbindung zwischen den Gleitkörpern ausgeführt. Die Erfindung ermöglicht auch, daß in die Verbindungsvorrichtung für die beiden Snowboardelemente die den Fuß aufnehmenden bindungsähnlichen Vorrichtungen, die den Benutzer mit dem Board verbinden, integriert werden. Dabei können diese bindungsähnlichen Vorrichtungen für Softboots oder für Skistiefel ausgelegt sein. Entscheidend ist, daß eine gemeinsameThe invention ensures that the two-part snowboard is very easy to control and is controllable. The snowboard is not controlled exclusively via one Weight shift of the user's body, but by twisting the legs of the User. The degree of control of the snowboard enables controlled Change of direction, whereby the user's balance is not the decisive one Role for the change of direction. The invention further ensures that a two-piece snowboard that connects the snowboard elements , in which a restoring torque is integrated, for everyone Speed ranges in which the two-part snowboard is moved optimally and can be individually adapted to the respective driving situation by quick adjustment. That the overall behavior of the two-part snowboard can be very high on fast downhill runs can be set stiff and when cornering with a tight curve radius is a soft one Adjustment of the joint elements possible. There are two different quick adjustments possible. The first setting option is on the main joint element, which torsion, Bending and compressive forces can be absorbed in three levels and by hand in his Stiffness can be adjusted. The second setting option is in the area of Linkage of the connecting device. The freedom of movement and that Restoring torque of the connecting rod in the horizontal plane can be done using the hand grip can also be adjusted very quickly and adapted to the respective driving situations. Both Adjustment options can go so far that the joints go on block and a rigid one Connection between the sliding bodies and the connecting rod can be made. The connecting device is then a rigid connection between the sliding bodies executed. The invention also enables that in the connecting device for the two Snowboard elements are the binding-like devices that receive the user with the board connect, be integrated. These bond-like devices can be used for Soft boots or designed for ski boots. It is crucial that a common

Befestigung sowohl der bindungsähnlichen Vorrichtung als auch der Verbindungsvorrichtung auf dem Snowboard erfolgt. Hierdurch ergeben sich sehr interessante wirtschaftliche Aspekte bezüglich der Herstellung. Die notwendigen Anpassungen bezüglich unterschiedlicher Schrittweite unterschiedlich großer Personen lassen sich durch eine Längenverstelleinrichtung im Bereich des Verbindungsgestänges oder der Befestigungselemente wirtschaftlich realisieren.Attachment of both the binding-like device and the connecting device done on the snowboard. This results in very interesting economic aspects regarding manufacturing. The necessary adjustments regarding different People of different sizes can step through a length adjustment device economically in the area of the connecting rod or the fastening elements.

Desweiteren wird durch die Erfindung erreicht, daß in ebenem Gelände eine Fortbewegung durch eine gegeneinanderlaufende Schlängelbewegung des vorderen und des hinteren Snowboardteiles möglich ist. Selbst Richtungswechsel bei nahezu Stillstand oder Bergauffahrten sind leichter kontrollierbar bzw. möglich. Desweitern wird durch die Erfindung erreicht, daß der Kurvenradius der gefahrenen Kurve jederzeit gesteuert und verändert werden kann ohne Kompressionsdruck auf das Snowboardende einwirken lassen zu müssen. Das Zweiteilige Snowboard kann bei der Benutzung einer Skiliftanlage schnellstmöglich zerlegt werden, so daß die beiden Snowboardteile an jeweils einem Fuß des Benutzers während des Liftfahrens verbleiben. Das Liftfahren wird dadurch im Vergleich zu herkömmlichen Snowboards entscheidend erleichtert. Falls der Benutzer eine Trennung der beiden Snowboardteile nicht wünscht, erleichtert das Snowboard das Skiliftfahren durch die verbesserte Möglichkeit des Ausbalancierens. Ebenso kann das Snowboard nach dem Gebrauch schnellstmöglich in mindestens zwei oder mehrerer Teile zerlegt werden und somit problemlos transportiert werden.Furthermore, it is achieved by the invention that locomotion in flat terrain due to an opposing meandering movement of the front and the rear Snowboard part is possible. Even change of direction when almost stopped or Uphill climbs are easier to control or possible. It is expanded by the Invention achieves that the curve radius of the driven curve is controlled at all times and can be changed without compressing the snowboard end have to. The two-part snowboard can be dismantled as quickly as possible when using a ski lift system be so that the two snowboard parts on one foot of the user during the Lift driving remain. The lift ride is compared to conventional Snowboards made significantly easier. If the user does not separate the two snowboard parts wishes, the snowboard facilitates ski lift driving through the improved possibility of Equilibration. The snowboard can also be used as soon as possible after use At least two or more parts can be disassembled and thus easily transported become.
