Description

Die vorliegende Erfindung betrifft eine Boots-Persenning mit Handlauf.The present invention relates to a boat cover with handrail.

Eine Boots-Persenning ist ein Verdeck, das als Sonnen-, Regen- oder Spritzschutz an Oberdeck eines Bootes angebracht wird. Diesbezüglich gibt es im Stand der Technik Voll-Persenning, die das komplette Oberdeck des Bootes abdecken; ferner sind Persenninge bekannt, die mithilfe eines Rahmengestells über einen Teil des Oberdecks des Bootes aufgespannt sind, so dass sich eine Person darunter aushalten kann und einen ausreichenden Spritzschutz bzw. einen Schutz vor Sonneneinstrahlung während der Fahrt hat. In derartigen Persenningen sind meist auch flexible Scheiben eingearbeitet, so dass sich der Fahrer des Bootes unterhalb der Persenning aufhalten kann und trotzdem seine Sicht nach außen nicht beeinträchtigt ist.A boat cover is a hood that is attached to the upper deck of a boat as a sun, rain or splash guard. In this regard, in the prior art, there are full tarpaulins covering the entire upper deck of the boat; Furthermore, tarpaulins are known which are stretched by means of a frame over a part of the upper deck of the boat, so that a person can stand underneath and has sufficient splash protection and protection from sunlight while driving. In such tarpaulins flexible discs are usually incorporated so that the driver of the boat can stay below the tarpaulin and yet his view is not impaired to the outside.

Als Material für eine Persenning wird meist Segeltuch verwendet. Bekannt sind jedoch auch nylonstoffarmierte PVC-Tücher oder aus anderem Kunststoff hergestellte Planen. Das Dokument US 6257261 , das als nächstliegender Stand der Technik angesehen wird, beschreibt eine Bootspersenning die auf der Oberseite eine klappbare Wasserskihalterung trägt. Auf die Druckschrift US 6,415,732 B1 wird verwiesen. In dieser Schrift wird ein beleuchteter Handlauf gezeigt, der allerdings am festen Bootskörper befestigt ist.The material used for a tarpaulin is mostly canvas. However, nylon-armored PVC cloths or tarpaulins made from other plastics are also known. The document US 6257261 , which is considered to be the closest prior art, describes a boat spreader which carries on top a foldable water ski mount. On the publication US Pat. No. 6,415,732 B1 will be referred. In this document, an illuminated handrail is shown, however, is attached to the fixed hull.

Nachteilig im Stand der Technik ist, dass eine Handhabung solcher Persenninge schwierig ist, da diese meist mit gewisser Spannung Ober das Boot gespannt werden müssen und deshalb mit der Hand schwierig zu ergreifen sind. Ferner gibt es keine Möglichkeit für eine Person, sich insbesondere beim Ein- und Aussteigen im Bereich der Persenning festzuhalten.A disadvantage of the prior art is that handling of such tarpaulins is difficult, since these usually have to be tensioned with some tension upper the boat and therefore are difficult to grasp by hand. Furthermore, there is no possibility for a person to hold on in particular when entering and exiting the cover.

Aufgabe der Erfindung ist es, obige Nachteile im Stand der Technik zu eliminieren und eine Persenning vorzusehen, die eine einfache Handhabung und ein leichtes Ergreifen derselben zulässt.The object of the invention is to eliminate the above disadvantages in the prior art and provide a cover that allows easy handling and easy gripping the same.

Gelöst wird die Aufgabe durch eine Bootspersenning gemäß Anspruch 1. Vorteilhafte Weiterbildungen sind Gegenstände der jeweiligen Unteransprüche.The object is achieved by a boat spreader according to claim 1. Advantageous developments are objects of the respective subclaims.

Erfindungsgemäß ist ein Handlauf vorgesehen, der einen Griffbügel umfaast, der an seinen Enden jeweils an einer Buchse festgelegt ist, welche Buchsen an der Persenning zu befestigen sind, indem ein Element der Buchse durch des Persenningtuch geführt ist und am Gestänge der Persenning festgelegbar ist. Aufgrund dieser Modulbauweise kann ein Handlauf auf einfache Weise an der Persenning befestigt werden. Ferner ist es durch die Modulbauweise möglich, unterschiedliche Handläufe mit beispielsweise unterschiedlicher Länge des Griffbügels an einer Persenning zu befestigen. In Anpassung der jeweiligen Länge des Griffbügels sind lediglich die Buchsen in geeignetem Abstand zueinander an der Persenning zu befestigen, wonach der Handlauf an den Buchsen festgelegt wird. Mit diesem Handlauf ist die Sicherheit an Bord um einen wichtigen Bereich erhöht. Zusätzlich zum Vorteil einer leichten Montage wird ferner der Vorteil erzielt, dass das Gestänge der Persenning durch die Anbringung des Handlaufes verstärkt wird.According to the invention, a handrail is provided which surrounds a handle, which is fixed at its ends in each case to a socket, which sockets are to be attached to the cover by an element of the socket is guided by the Persenningtuch and on the linkage of the cover is determinable. Due to this modular design, a handrail can be easily attached to the tarpaulin. Furthermore, it is possible by the modular design to attach different handrails with, for example, different length of the handle bracket to a cover. In adaptation of the respective length of the handle bar, only the jacks are to be fastened at a suitable distance from each other to the cover, after which the handrail is fixed to the sockets. With this handrail, the safety on board is increased by an important area. In addition to the advantage of easy assembly, the advantage is also achieved that the linkage of the cover is reinforced by the attachment of the handrail.

Zum Befestigen einer Buchse an dem Persenning-Tuch weist die Buchse ein Schraubgewinde an einer an der Buchse vorgesehenen Gewindestange auf. An der Perserming wird ein Loch ausgeformt und ein Beschlag in Form von beispielsweise einer Niet vorgesehen. So kann das Schraubgewinde durch das Nietloch gesteckt und von der anderen Seite mittels einer Schraubenmutter verschraubt werden. Für einen besseren Halt ist zumindest auf der Seite der Schraubenmutter eine Beilagscheibe vorgesehen. Als Schraubenmutter eignet sich insbesondere eine Flügelmutter.To attach a socket to the cover cloth, the socket has a screw thread on a threaded rod provided on the socket. At the Perserming a hole is formed and provided a fitting in the form of, for example, a rivet. Thus, the screw thread can be inserted through the rivet hole and screwed from the other side by means of a nut. For a better grip, a washer is provided at least on the side of the nut. As a nut is particularly suitable a wing nut.

Einer vorteilhaften Ausführungsform nach weist die Buchse einen Befestigungsarm auf, an dem das Schraubgewinde an der Gewindestange angeordnet ist.According to an advantageous embodiment, the bushing has a fastening arm on which the screw thread is arranged on the threaded rod.

In dem Fall, bei dem ein Befestigungsarm an der Buchse vorgesehen ist, ist es auch möglich, an dem Befestigungsarm eine Bohrung vorzusehen, in der ein Innengewinde eingeschnitten ist. Die Befestigung der Buchse an beispielsweise einer Boots-Persenning erfolgt dann dadurch, dass eine Schraube von außen durch die Persenning mit dem Innengewinde des Befestigungsarmes verschraubt wird.In the case where a fixing arm is provided on the sleeve, it is also possible to provide on the fixing arm a bore in which an internal thread is cut. The attachment of the socket to, for example, a boat cover then takes place in that a screw is screwed from the outside through the cover with the internal thread of the mounting arm.

Gemäß einer vorteilhaften Ausführungsform ist der Griffbügel ein im Querschnitt rundes Rohr. Diesbezüglich ist die Buchse so ausgebildet, dass sie an ihrem einen Ende ein Rundrohr mit entsprechendem Durchmesser zum Einstecken des Griffbügel-Rohres in die Buchse hat. Natürlich kann das Rundrohr der Buchse auch einen gegenüber dem Griffbügel geringeren Durchmesser haben, sodass der Griffbügel auf das Rundrohr der Buchse aufschiebbar ist. Obwohl die Ausführung des Handlaufs in der Form eines Rundrohres als vorteilhaft angesehen wird, ist es auch möglich den Handlauf mit Buchse als Rechteckrohr oder dergl. vorzusehen.According to an advantageous embodiment, the handle bar is a round tube in cross-section. In this regard, the socket is formed so that it has at its one end a round tube with a corresponding diameter for insertion of the handle bar tube in the socket. Of course, the round tube of the socket also have a relation to the handle strap smaller diameter, so that the handle bar is pushed onto the round tube of the socket. Although the execution of the handrail in the form of a round tube is considered advantageous, it is also possible to provide the handrail with socket as a rectangular tube or the like.

Ferner wird es als vorteilhaft erachtet, dass die Buchse am Außenumfang des Bohrungsmantels, in die der Griffbügel einsteckbar ist, eine dazu senkrechte Bohrung mit einem Innengewinde aufweist, in welches Innengewinde eine Konterschraube einschraubbar ist. So kann der Griffbügel nach einem Einstecken in die Buchse durch Eindrehen der Konterschraube festgelegt werden. Die Konterschraube weist hierzu vorteilhafterweise an ihrem Innenende einen Spitz auf, der durch Eindrehen der Konterschraube in das Ende des Griffbügels eingedrückt wird.Furthermore, it is considered advantageous that the bushing on the outer circumference of the bore jacket, in which the handle bar can be inserted, has a bore perpendicular thereto with an internal thread into which internal thread a lock screw can be screwed. Thus, the handle can be determined by inserting the lock screw after insertion into the socket. For this purpose, the lock screw advantageously has at its inner end a point which is pressed into the end of the handle by screwing in the lock screw.

Genauso vorteilhaft ist diesbezüglich eine Ausführungsform, bei der der Griffbügel mit der Buchse über sog. Arretier- oder Stativ-Federn arretiert ist. Als besonders vorteilhaft erweist sich hierzu eine Ausführungsform mit zwei Stativ-Federn pro Buchsenbefestigung, sodass pro Buchse immer beide Feder-Kuppen niedergedrückt werden müssen, um die Arretierung des Griffbügels an einer Buchse lösen zu können.Equally advantageous in this regard is an embodiment in which the handle bar is locked to the socket via so-called. Arreting or tripod springs. Particularly advantageous for this purpose proves to be an embodiment with two tripod springs per bushing attachment, so that per socket always both spring-tips must be depressed in order to solve the locking of the handle bar to a socket can.

Schließlich kann die Festlegung des Griffbügels an der jeweiligen Buchse auch über ein Schraubgewinde realisiert sein, d.h. dass an dem einen Ende des Griffbügels selbst ein Schraubgewinde in das Griffbügel-Rohr geschnitten ist, das mit einem korrespondierenden Gewinde am Rundrohr der Buchse zusammenwirkt. Hier kann am Griffbügel sowohl ein Außengewinde mit einem an der Buchse zusammenwirkenden Innengewinde und vice versa vorgesehen sein. Zur Festlegung des Griffbügels wird dieser dann wie nach Art einer Wasserrohr-Schraubverbindung in die Buchse eingedreht.Finally, the determination of the handle bar at the respective socket can also be realized via a screw thread, i. that at the one end of the handle bar itself a screw thread is cut into the handle bar tube, which cooperates with a corresponding thread on the round tube of the socket. Here can be provided on the handle both an external thread with a cooperating on the socket internal thread and vice versa. To fix the handle bar this is then screwed as in the manner of a water pipe screw in the socket.

Als Materialien für den Handlauf eignen sich insbesondere rostfreie Metalle.Suitable materials for the handrail are in particular stainless metals.

Erfindungsgegenstand ist überdies eine Persenning für ein Boot, die ein Persenning-Tuch mit einem oben beschriebenen Handlauf aufweist.Subject of the invention is also a cover for a boat having a cover cloth with a handrail described above.

Gemäß einer vorteilhaften Ausführungsform hat die Persenning einen Persenning-Gestängerahmen, über den das Persenning-Tuch gespannt ist. So ist bei dieser Ausführungsform der Handlauf an dem Persenning-Gestänge verschraubt. Als "Persenning-Rahmen" liegt gewöhnlich ein Rundrohr-Rahmengestell vor, sodass der Handlauf mittels Festlegen zweier Buchsen durch zwei Bohrungen in dem Rundrohr-Rahmengestell verschraubbar ist. Das Schraubgewinde einer Buchse greift somit durch das Persenning-Tuch und den Persenning-Rahmen.According to an advantageous embodiment, the tarpaulin has a tarpaulin boom frame over which the tarpaulin cloth is stretched. Thus, in this embodiment, the handrail is bolted to the tarpaulin boom. As a "cover frame" is usually a round tube frame, so that the handrail by fixing two sockets by two holes in the round tube frame is screwed. The screw thread of a socket thus engages through the cover cloth and the cover frame.

Gemäß einer vorteilhaften Ausführungsform ist vorgesehen, dass vor dem Überziehen des Persenningtuches über das Persenning-Gestänge pro Handlauf-Buchse ein Stellring auf das Gestänge-Rohr aufgeschoben wird. Der Stellring wird mit einer Schraube am Gestänge festgelegt, indem die Schraube durch den Mantel des Stellrings geschraubt wird. An dieser nach Überziehen des Persenningtuches durch das Tuch hindurchtretenden Schraube kann dann die Buchse festgelegt werden.According to an advantageous embodiment, it is provided that before putting on the tarpaulin cloth on the tarpaulin boom per handrail socket, a collar is pushed onto the rod tube. The adjusting ring is fixed with a screw on the linkage by screwing the screw through the collar of the adjusting ring. At this after covering the Persenningtuches passing through the cloth screw then the socket can be determined.

Die Erfindung wird nun anhand einer in den beigefügten Figuren dargestellten vorteilhaften Ausführungsform näher beschrieben. Diesbezüglich zeigt

Fig. 1 zeigt die perspektivische Draufsicht auf ein Boot 10, bei dem das Cockpit mit einer Persenning 12 überdeckt ist. Zur Vorderseite des Bootes sind flexible Scheiben 14 in die Persenning eingearbeitet. Die Persenning 12 ist über einen Persenning-Rahmen gespannt, der als ein Persenning-Rahmrohr 16 ausgebildet ist. Das Persenning-Rahmenrohr 16 befindet sich unterhalb des Persenning-Tuches, womit es in der Ansicht gemäß Fig. 1 durch das Persenning-Tuch abgedeckt und somit nicht sichtbar ist. Wie in der Fig. 1 ferner gezeigt ist, bildet die Persenning 12 ein Verdeckdach, das zwischen zwei Rahmenrohren des Persenning-Rahmens 16 aufgespannt ist. An diesen Rohren ist ein Handlauf 18 festgelegt, womit die Persenning 12 bei Bedarf leicht aufgespannt oder im Allgemeinen bei der Montage und Demontage leichter gehandhabt werden kann. Ferner bildet der Handlauf 18 für eine in das Boot ein- oder aussteigende Person einen Sicherheitsgriff zum Festhalten. In der Darstellung ist nur ein einzelner, zur Boots-Längsachse parallel angeordneter Handlauf 18 gezeigt, wobei natürlich mehrere Handläufe vorgesehen sein können. Auch ist es möglich, einen Handlauf 18 quer zur Boots-Längsachse anzuordnen. Fig. 1 shows the perspective top view of a boat 10, in which the cockpit is covered with a cover 12. To the front of the boat flexible discs 14 are incorporated into the cover. The cover 12 is stretched over a tarpaulin frame, which is designed as a tarpaulin cream tube 16. The cover frame tube 16 is located below the tarpaulin cloth, which it in the view according to Fig. 1 covered by the tarpaulin cloth and thus is not visible. Like in the Fig. 1 is further shown, the cover 12 forms a top roof, which is spanned between two frame tubes of the cover frame 16. On these pipes, a handrail 18 is set, so that the cover 12 can be easily clamped when needed or generally handled during assembly and disassembly easier. Further, the handrail 18 forms a safety grip for a person entering or leaving the boat. In the illustration, only a single, parallel to the boat longitudinal axis handrail 18 is shown, of course, several handrails can be provided. It is also possible to arrange a handrail 18 transversely to the longitudinal axis of the boat.

Hierzu müssen lediglich zwei Bohrungen an geeigneter Stelle in dem Persenning-Tuch und in dem Persenning-Rahmenrohr 16 vorgesehen sein.For this purpose, only two holes must be provided at a suitable location in the cover cloth and in the cover frame tube 16.

Gemäß Fig. 2 ist ein Detail des erfmdungsgemäßen Handlaufs in perspektivischer Ansicht gezeigt. Die Buchse 20 weist an einem Ende eine Öffnung auf, in die der Griffbügel 22 eingesteckt ist. In eine mit Innengewinde versehene Bohrung am Außenumfang der Buchse ist eine Konterschraube 30 eingeschraubt, mit der der Griffbügel 22 in der Buchse festgelegt ist. Die Konterschraube 30 weist einen Imbus-Schraubkopf auf.According to Fig. 2 a detail of the inventive handrail is shown in a perspective view. The sleeve 20 has at one end an opening into which the handle bar 22 is inserted. In an internally threaded bore on the outer circumference of the socket, a lock screw 30 is screwed, with which the handle bar 22 is fixed in the socket. The lock screw 30 has an Allen screw head.

Die Buchse 20 weist an ihrem gegenüberliegenden Ende einen Befestigungsarm 24 auf, der in Form einer Platte ausgebildet ist. An dem plattenförmigen Befestigungsarm 24 ist ein Schraubgewinde 26 angeordnet, das zum Festlegen des Handlaufs in das Loch des Persenning-Tuches und des Persenning-Rahmenrohrs 16 gesteckt und von der Unterseite mittels einer Schraubenmutter 28 verschraubt ist.The sleeve 20 has at its opposite end to a mounting arm 24 which is formed in the form of a plate. On the plate-shaped mounting arm 24, a screw thread 26 is arranged, which is inserted for fixing the handrail in the hole of the cover cloth and the tarpaulin frame tube 16 and bolted from the bottom by means of a nut 28.

Fig. 3 zeigt eine Ausführungsform der Montage-Buchse 20 mit einer an dem Außenende des Befestigungsarmes 24 vorgesehenen Bohrung mit Innengewinde 32, in das eine Schraube (nicht gezeigt) einschraubbar ist. Durch diesen Schraubmechanismus ist die Buchse an beispielsweise einer Boots-Persennning festlegbar, sodass ein Handlauf nachfolgend zur Befestigung der Buchs an der Bootspersenning über die Festlegung an der jeweiligen Buchse mit der Persenning verbunden werden kann. Fig. 3 shows an embodiment of the mounting socket 20 with a provided at the outer end of the mounting arm 24 bore with internal thread 32 into which a screw (not shown) can be screwed. By this screwing mechanism, the bushing can be fixed to, for example, a boat-Persennning, so that a handrail can be subsequently connected to attach the book to the boat spreader ring via the attachment to the respective socket with the cover.

In der Fig. 3 sind zwei mögliche Varianten dieser Ausführungsform dargestellt, die sich hinsichtlich des Winkels der Bohrung in dem Befestigungsarm unterscheiden. Während in einer Darstellung die Bohrung parallel zur Mittelachse des Befestigungsarmes vorgesehen ist, ist die Bohrung in der dazu alternativen Ausführung winklig zur Achse des Befestigungsarmes eingebracht.In the Fig. 3 two possible variants of this embodiment are shown, which differ with respect to the angle of the bore in the mounting arm. While in one illustration, the bore is provided parallel to the central axis of the mounting arm, the bore is introduced in the alternative embodiment at an angle to the axis of the mounting arm.

Der Befestigungsarm kann, wie in den Darstellungen gezeigt, ein planes Winkelstück sein, das an der Buchse zum Einschieben des Handlauf-Rohres angeformt ist. An der Stelle, wo die Bohrung mit Innengewinde am Befestigungsarm vorzusehen ist, ist der Befestigungsarm integral erweitert und bildet eine zylindrische Auswölbung, in der die Bohrung mit Innengewinde eingeschnitten ist.The mounting arm can, as shown in the illustrations, be a flat elbow, which is integrally formed on the socket for insertion of the handrail tube. At the point where the bore with internal thread on the mounting arm is to be provided, is the mounting arm extends integrally and forms a cylindrical bulge, in which the bore is cut with an internal thread.

In Fig. 4 ist eine weitere Ausführungsform der Buchse aufgezeigt, bei der zum Festlegen des Handlaufes an der Buchse das Ende des Handlauf-Rohres auf einen Zylinder der Buchse aufgeschoben wird. Hier ist es ebenso möglich, dass der Zylinder ein Außengewinde aufweist, das in ein auf der Innenseite des Handlaufrohres eingeschnittenes Innengewinde greift.In Fig. 4 a further embodiment of the socket is shown, in which the end of the handrail tube is slid onto a cylinder of the socket for fixing the handrail to the socket. Here it is also possible that the cylinder has an external thread which engages in a cut on the inside of the handrail tube internal thread.

In Fig. 5 ist ein Arretiermechanismus zum Festlegen des Handlaufes an der Buchse mittels einer Arretier- oder Stativfeder 34 dargestellt.In Fig. 5 a locking mechanism for fixing the handrail to the socket by means of a locking or tripod spring 34 is shown.

Fig. 6 veranschaulicht eine vorteilhafte Ausführungsform, bei der die jeweilige Buchse des Handlaufs mit Hilfe eines Stellringes 36 am Persenning-Gestänge 16 festgelegbar ist. Hierzu wird vor dem Überziehen des Persenningtuches (nicht gezeigt) über das Persenning-Gestänge 16 pro Handlauf-Buchse ein Stellring 36 auf das Gestänge-Rohr aufgeschoben. Der Stellring wird mit einer Schraube am Gestänge festgelegt, indem die Schraube durch den Mantel des Stellrings geschraubt wird. Das Festziehen der Schraube erfolgt über einen Imbus-Ansatz 38. Die Schraube ist mit ihrem Außengewinde so lang, dass an dem Außengewinde auch noch nach Festlegen des Stellrings am Gestänge die Buchse mit einem Innengewinde an der überstehenden Schraube anschraubbar ist. In Verbindung mit der Ausführungsform des gezeigten Stellrings eignet sich insbesondere eine Verschraubung mit der in Fig. 4 gezeigten Buchse. Für einen geeigneten Sitz der Buchse auf dem Stellring ist es von Vorteil, einen Gummiring als Beilagscheibe zwischen Stellring und Buchse vorzusehen. Fig. 6 illustrates an advantageous embodiment in which the respective socket of the handrail by means of a collar 36 on the tarpaulin boom 16 can be determined. For this purpose, a collar 36 is pushed onto the rod tube before covering the tarpaulin cloth (not shown) on the tarpaulin frame 16 per handrail socket. The adjusting ring is fixed with a screw on the linkage by screwing the screw through the collar of the adjusting ring. The screw is tightened with a hexagon socket 38. With its external thread, the screw is so long that the bushing can be screwed to the protruding screw on the external thread even after fixing the adjusting ring on the rod. In connection with the embodiment of the adjusting ring shown is in particular a screw with the in Fig. 4 shown socket. For a suitable fit of the bushing on the adjusting ring, it is advantageous to provide a rubber ring as a washer between collar and socket.

Die einzelnen Merkmale der aufgezeigten Ausführungsformen können untereinander kombiniert sein.The individual features of the embodiments shown can be combined with each other.
