Abstract

The invention relates to a transport and gliding device for surfboards, comprising a guided stream of water influenc-ing the action of the surfboard, and a plurality of flexible parallel tubes ( 1 ) which are inclined at an angle ( 2 ) and have a non-abrasive, pressure-insensitive cover. Water flows upstream through said tubes which are preferably arranged or fixed on a solid base with spac-ers. In the region of the board gliding thereover, the cross-section of the tubes is reduced to a maximum value of zero by the gliding and squashing edge ( 5 ) of the board. In this way, the upwardly flowing water column ( 3 ) in the tube moves the board ( 4 ) with the surfer upwards. Strong jets of water ( 8 ) are also sprayed upwards on the surface of the tube, hitting the lower side of the board when it tilts and thus also pushing the board with the surfer upwards. The inventive gliding device can either be used in a buoyant manner on a lake, on the land or in areas with pools.

Description

Die Erfindung betrifft eine Transport und Gleitvorrichtung für Surfboards gemäß dem Oberbegriff des Anspruches 1.The invention relates to a transport and sliding device for surfboards according to the preamble of claim 1.

Der bisherige Stand der Technik reicht von Surfboards, welche auf natürlichen Wasserwellen eingesetzt werden bis hin zu künstlich erzeugten Wasserwellen bei welchen mit großem Energieaufwand große Wassermengen über künstliche Formteile fliessen. Bei diesen künstlichen Wasserwellen, die sich zum Surfen eignen muß der bewegte Wasserfilm sehr dick sein, damit das Surfboard beim Ankanten nicht auf der darunter liegenden Formoberfläche abrutscht Weiters sind flexible, einrollbare Kunststoffbahnen mit seitlicher Wasserzufuhr oder wassergefüllte rippenartige Gebilde, über welche das Wasser kaskadenartig hinabfließt bekannt Aus der US 5 401 117 A (LOCHTEFELD, 28. März 1995 (28.03.95) ist eine gattungsgemäße Transport- und Gleitvorrichtung in Form einer Einrichtung zum Wassergleiten - auch mit Surfbrettern-bekannt, wo über eine geneigte künstliche Oberfläche Wasser strömt.The current state of the art ranges from surfboards, which are used on natural water waves to artificially generated water waves in which large amounts of water flow with large amounts of energy on artificial moldings. In these artificial waves of water that are suitable for surfing the moving water film must be very thick, so that the surfboard does not slip when Ankanten on the underlying mold surface Furthermore, flexible, rollable plastic sheets with lateral water supply or water-filled rib-like structures over which the water flows down cascade known from the US Pat. No. 5,401,117 (LOCHTEFELD, March 28, 1995 (28.03.95) is a generic transport and sliding device in the form of a device for water slides - also known as surfboards, where flows over a sloping artificial surface water.

Die technische Aufgabe, welche gemäß der Erfindung gelöst wird, ist der Bau einer Transports und Gleitvorrichtung mit einer neuartigen Oberfläche, die bei wesentlich geringerem Energieaufwand wie bei den bisher bekannten künstlichen Surfwellen mit einem durchgehend geschlossenem dicken Wasserfilm, ein Surfen zulässt. Mit dieser Oberfläche sollen wesentlich größere surfbare Flächen mit großen Höhenunterschieden gebaut werden können.The technical problem, which is solved according to the invention, is the construction of a transport and sliding device with a novel surface, which allows for much lower energy consumption as in the previously known artificial surf waves with a continuous closed thick film of water, a surf. With this surface much larger surfable surfaces with large differences in height can be built.

Diese Aufgabe wird durch die Merkmale des kennzeichnenden Teiles des Anspruches 1 gelöst. Weitere vorteilhafte Merkmale der Erfindung sind in den Unteransprüchen gekennzeichnet.This object is solved by the features of the characterizing part of claim 1. Further advantageous features of the invention are characterized in the subclaims.

Merkmale, Vorteile und Einzelheiten der Erfindung werden anhand der schematischen Darstellungen in der Zeichnung näher beschrieben. Dabei zeigen

  • Fig. 1: Gesamtansicht - Surfer auf einer nur teilweise, nicht in der vollen Länge und Breite dargestellten Transport- und Gleitvorrichtung.
  • Fig. 2: Schnitt durch das Surfboard auf der Gleitfläche.
Features, advantages and details of the invention will be described with reference to the schematic representations in the drawing. Show

Die neue Transport- und Gleitvorrichtung für Surfboards besteht aus einer Vielzahl von flexiblen, parallel zueinander und nebeneinander angeordneten, gewobenen, hochfesten Kunststoffschläuchen 1 mit unterschiedlicher Länge. Diese Schläuche werden in einem Winkel 2 zur Bezugsfläche geradlinig, gekrümmt oder in einer kombinierten Form aus geraden und gekrümmten Abschnitten auf einem Unterbau aus diversen Materialien montiert. Die Anzahl der nebeneinander aufgelegten Schläuche 1 hängt davon ab, ob es sich um eine Transport- und Gleitvorrichtung für einzelne Surfer oder für mehrere Surfer gleichzeitig handelt. Durch Metall- oder Kunststoffprofile werden die einzelnen Schläuche zueinander in genauer Position gehalten und diese ermöglichen gleichzeitig ein exaktes Quetschen der Schläuche durch die darübergleitende Boardkante 5 (Gleit- und Quetschkante). Die damit erzeugte Transport- und Gleitfläche kann nun entweder auf festem Untergrund aufgelegt oder mit Distanzstützen frei montiert werden. In den Schläuchen 1 wird durch ein marktübliches Pumpensystem 10 Wasser 3 nach oben gepumpt. Im Bereich des darüber gleitenden Boards 4 wird durch das Gewicht des Surfers der Schlauch durch die Kipp-, Gleit- und Quetschkante 5 des Boards geklemmt und die im Schlauch nach oben fließende Wassersäule 3 drückt somit das Board mit dem darauf stehenden Surfer nach oben. Der Wasserdruck in den flexiblen Schläuchen wird so eingestellt, dass das Gewicht eines durschnittlich schweren Surfers ausreicht, um über die gesamte Länge der als Gleit- und Quetschkante 5 ausgebildeten Seitenkante des Boards den Schlauch auf Null zu quetschen. So kann der Surfer in der Gleitphase sowohl den Auftrieb durch den Wasserstrahl 8 und der im Schlauch nach oben fliesenden Wassersäule 3 nutzen.The new transport and sliding device for surfboards consists of a variety of flexible, parallel to each other and juxtaposed, woven, high-strength plastic hoses 1 with different lengths. These hoses are rectilinear, curved or mounted in a combined form of straight and curved sections on a base of various materials at an angle 2 to the reference surface. The number of side by side hoses 1 depends on whether it is a transport and sliding device for individual surfers or for multiple surfers at the same time. By metal or plastic profiles, the individual hoses are held to each other in a precise position and this allows at the same time an exact squeezing of the hoses through the sliding over board edge 5 (sliding and pinch edge). The transport and sliding surface produced with it can now either be laid on firm ground or freely mounted with distance supports. In the hoses 1 10 water 3 is pumped up by a commercially available pump system. In the area of the board 4 sliding over it, the weight of the surfer clamps the hose through the tilting, sliding and crushing edge 5 of the board and the water column 3 flowing upwards in the hose thus pushes the board with the surfer standing thereon upwards. The water pressure in the flexible hoses is adjusted so that the weight of an average heavy surfer sufficient to squeeze the hose over the entire length of the formed as a sliding and crushing edge 5 side edge of the board to zero. Thus, the surfer in the sliding phase can use both the buoyancy through the water jet 8 and the water column 3 flowing upwards in the hose.

Die Abmessung des neu entwickelten Boards, welches aus Holz, Kunststoff, Metall oder aus Kombinationen dieser Werkstoffe hergestellt ist, wird auf Größe und Gewicht der damit surfenden Person abgestimmt. Je geringer das Gewicht der Person ist, desto kürzer soll das Board gewählt werden, damit die Flächenpressung der Quetschkante 5 ausreicht, bei angekantetem Winkel 7 des Boards, alle darunter liegenden Schläuche zu quetschen. Damit die Quetschkante 5 auch gleichzeitig die Funktion der Gleitkante übernehmen kann, hat sie im Schnitt einen kreisrunden Querschnitt. Dadurch ist sichergestellt, dass in jeder Lage das Board auf der erfindungsgemäßen Surfsportfläche gut gleiten kann, ohne die Schläuchoberfläche zu beschädigen.The size of the newly developed board, which is made of wood, plastic, metal or combinations of these materials is tailored to the size and weight of the person surfing. The lower the weight of the person, the shorter the board should be selected so that the surface pressure of the squish edge 5 is sufficient, with angekantetem angle 7 of the board to squeeze all the underlying hoses. So that Squeezing edge 5 can also simultaneously take over the function of the sliding edge, it has a circular cross section in section. This ensures that in every situation the board can slide well on the surf sports surface according to the invention, without damaging the hose surface.

Die Kipp-, Gleit- und Quetschkante geht auf der Boardunterseite direkt in eine Prallfläche 6 über, welche bei unterschiedlichen Anstellwinkeln des Boards für eine optimale Kraftübertragung vom auftreffenden Wasserstrahl auf das Board sorgt. Somit wird die Bewegungsenergie vom Wasserstrahl 8 ohne größere Verluste auf das Board übertragen.The tilting, sliding and crushing edge goes on the underside of the board directly into a baffle 6, which ensures at different angles of attack of the board for optimum power transmission from the impinging jet of water on the board. Thus, the kinetic energy is transmitted from the water jet 8 without major losses to the board.

Zwischen den wasserdurchströhmten Schlauchelementen 1 werden zusätzlich durch das.Pumpensystem 9 starke Wasserstrahlen 8. nach oben gespritzt, dadurch bildet sich beim Gleiten mit dem flach auf der Surfsportfläche aufliegenden Board ein Wasserfilm zwischen Board und Schlauch, welcher ein gutes Gleiten des Boards ermöglicht. Wird das Board durch den Surfer jedoch angekantet 7, treffen die Wasserstrahlen die Prallfläche 6 auf der Boardunterseite und drücken so das Board 4 zusätzlich nach oben. So können nun Bereiche der Transport- und Gleitvorrichtung mit Wasserstrahlen nach oben bespritzt werden. In diesen Bereichen ist dann der zusätzliche Auftrieb da, um den Surfer verlässlich nach oben zu bewegen. In anderen Bereichen der Fläche lässt man das Wasser einfach nach unten abfließen. In diesen Bereichen ist dann das Gleiten und Schwingen nach unten möglich, jedoch kann der Surfer nur in den Bereichen mit dem starken Wasserstrahl 8 wieder verlässlich nach oben gleiten.Between the water-flowed hose elements 1 8 strong water jets 8 are additionally sprayed through das.Pumpensystem upward, thereby forming when gliding with the flat on the surf sports surface resting board a water film between the board and hose, which allows a good sliding of the board. However, if the board is edged by the surfer 7, the water jets hit the baffle 6 on the underside of the board and thus additionally push the board 4 upwards. So now areas of the transport and sliding device can be splashed with water jets up. In these areas, then the additional buoyancy is there to reliably move the surfer upwards. In other areas of the area, the water is simply drained downwards. In these areas, then the sliding and swinging down possible, but the surfer can only in the areas with the strong water jet 8 again reliably slide upwards.

Das Einsteigen für den Sportler ist entweder im oberen Ende der Surfsportfläche möglich, besonders für Anfänger geeignet, da sie gleich in die Gleitbewegung kommen, oder Fortgeschrittene Sportler können auch im unter Bereich der Surfsportfläche einsteigen und den Auftrieb nutzen um über die Fläche nach oben zu gleiten.The entry for the athlete is either in the upper end of the surfing area possible, especially for beginners, as they come straight into the sliding movement, or advanced athletes can also get in the area of the surfing area and use the lift to slide over the surface up ,

Die erfindungsgemäßen Transport- und Gleitvorrichtungen können nun entweder auf Schwimmkörpern montiert direkt in einem See schwimmend aufgestellt werden, in einer Halle mit einem transportablen oder fix eingebautem Becken stehen oder in freier Natur auf einem Hang mit Wasserauffangbecken im unteren Bereich der Surfsportfläche aufgelegt werden.The transport and sliding devices according to the invention can now be mounted floating on either directly mounted in a lake, standing in a hall with a portable or permanently installed pool or placed in the wild on a slope with water catchment in the lower part of the surf sports area.
