Description

Die Erfindung betrifft ein Lawinenrettungsgerät, das als funktionelle Teile mindestens einen körpernah mit dem Benutzer verbindbaren aufblasbaren Auftriebskörper, eine Befülleinheit für den Auftriebskörper, eine Druckgaseinheit mit Druckgasbehälter und eine Auslöseeinheit besitzt und mit einem Tragesystem zum Tragen der funktionellen Teile auf dem Rücken des Benutzers ausgestattet ist.The invention relates to an avalanche rescue device which, as functional parts, has at least one inflatable float that can be connected to the user close to the body, a filling unit for the float, a pressurized gas unit with a pressurized gas container and a release unit and is equipped with a carrying system for carrying the functional parts on the user's back .

Unter einem Lawinenrettungsgerät wird hier ein Gerät zur Rettung von Personen in insbesondere Schneelawinen verstanden.An avalanche rescue device is understood here to mean a device for rescuing people in particular in snow avalanches.

Ein derartiges Gerät ist seit vielen Jahren im Einsatz und unter anderem in der DE 32 37 060 A beschrieben.Such a device has been in use for many years, including in the DE 32 37 060 A described.

Ein verbessertes Lawinenrettungsgerät ist in der WO 96/35479 ( PCT/EP 96/01942 ) näher erläutert. Die dort beschriebenen funktionellen Teile, beispielsweise Auftriebskörper, Befülleinheit für den Auftriebskörper, Druckgaseinheit mit Druckgasbehälter und Auslöseeinheit, können auch bei dem erfindungsgemäßen Lawinenrettungsgerät eingesetzt werden. Es erübrigt sich daher, diese funktionellen Teile ausführlich zu beschreiben. Vielmehr wird auf die genannte Druckschrift Bezug genommen.An improved avalanche rescue device is in the WO 96/35479 ( PCT / EP 96/01942 ) explained in more detail. The functional parts described there, for example a float, filling unit for the float, pressurized gas unit with pressurized gas container and release unit, can also be used in the avalanche rescue device according to the invention. There is therefore no need to describe these functional parts in detail. Rather, reference is made to the cited publication.

Dieses bekannte Lawinenrettungsgerät ist beispielsweise mit einem Rückentragegestell ausgestattet, um zumindest einige der funktionellen Teile, beispielsweise die Auftriebskörper bzw. Ballone, daran zu befestigen. Das Rückentragegestell mit den Ballonen kann dabei sowohl als isoliertes Rettungsgerät als auch als Basis für einen Rucksack dienen.This known avalanche rescue device is equipped, for example, with a backpack frame in order to attach at least some of the functional parts, for example the floats or balloons, to it. The backpack frame with the balloons can serve both as an isolated rescue device and as a base for a backpack.

Sofern die funktionellen Teile in einem Rucksack, beispielsweise einem Rettungsrucksack, angebracht sind, sind zumindest einige dieser funktionellen Teile mit einer in den Rucksack integrierten Montageplatte verbunden, um die erforderliche Festigkeit zu gewährleisten.If the functional parts are attached in a rucksack, for example a rescue rucksack, at least some of these functional parts are connected to a mounting plate integrated into the rucksack in order to ensure the required strength.

In der genannten Druckschrift ist auch beschrieben, dass es möglich ist, die funktionellen Teile des Lawinenrettungsgerätes in eine Weste oder ein anderes Kleidungsstück zu integrieren. Auch in diesem Falle sind eigene Befestigungselemente für zumindest einige der funktionellen Teile erforderlich, welche in die genannten Kleidungsstücke integriert werden müssen.In the cited publication it is also described that it is possible to integrate the functional parts of the avalanche rescue device into a vest or another item of clothing. In this case too, separate fastening elements are required for at least some of the functional parts which have to be integrated into the clothing items mentioned.

Als funktionelle Teile werden hier übrigens solche Elemente bezeichnet, die mit der Betätigung des Gerätes und insbesondere dem Aufblasen der Auftriebskörper in einem technischen Zusammenhang stehen.By the way, those elements are referred to here as functional parts that are technically related to the operation of the device and in particular to the inflation of the buoyancy bodies.

Ein weiteres Lawinenrettungsgerät der hier in Rede stehenden Art ist in der WO 98/33559 ( PCT/EP 98/00491 ) beschrieben. Die dort näher erläuterten Gegenstände betreffen Verbesserungen der funktionellen Teile eines derartigen Lawinenrettungsgerätes bzw. Lawinenrettungssystems.Another avalanche rescue device of the type in question is in the WO 98/33559 ( PCT / EP 98/00491 ) described. The subjects explained in more detail there relate to improvements in the functional parts of such an avalanche rescue device or avalanche rescue system.

Nachteilig an diesen bekannten Lawinenrettungsgeräten ist der Umstand, dass sie immer nur in der jeweils gewählten Ausgestaltung eingesetzt werden können. Ist das Lawinenrettungsgerät beispielsweise in eine Weste oder einen Anorak integriert, dann muss es immer zusammen mit diesem Kleidungsstück eingesetzt werden. Ist das Lawinenrettungsgerät hingegen in einen Rucksack integriert, dann muss dieses Gerät auch immer im Zusammenhang mit diesem speziellen, einmal gewählten Rucksack getragen werden.The disadvantage of these known avalanche rescue devices is the fact that they can only ever be used in the respectively selected configuration. If the avalanche rescue device is integrated into a vest or an anorak, for example, then it must always be used together with this item of clothing. If, on the other hand, the avalanche rescue device is integrated into a backpack, then this device must always be carried in connection with this particular backpack, once selected.

Aufgabe der vorliegenden Erfindung ist es, ein Lawinenrettungsgerät bereit zu stellen, das an die Art des Einsatzes bzw. der "Unternehmung" anpassbar ist.The object of the present invention is to provide an avalanche rescue device which can be adapted to the type of operation or the "undertaking".

Gelöst wird diese Aufgabe durch die Lehre des Anspruchs 1.This problem is solved by the teaching of claim 1.

Das erfindungsgemäße Lawinenrettungsgerät zeichnet sich unter anderem dadurch aus, dass das Tragesystem aus mindestens einem flexiblen Gewebeelement aufgebaut ist. Dieses Tragesystem dient zum Haltern der funktionellen Teile. Es kann sich dabei insbesondere um ein flexibles Flächengeweben, beispielsweise ein Nylongewebe, oder um einen Gurt handeln. Auch eine Kombination aus einem Flächengewebe bzw. einem gewebeartigen Flächengebilde und einem Gurt oder mehreren Gurten ist möglich. Derartige Gewebeelemente sind bekannt.The avalanche rescue device according to the invention is characterized, among other things, by the fact that the carrying system is made up of at least one flexible fabric element. This carrying system is used to hold the functional parts. In particular, it can be a flexible flat fabric, for example a nylon fabric, or a belt. A combination of a fabric or a fabric-like fabric and a belt or several belts is also possible. Such fabric elements are known.

Entscheidend ist, dass das Gewebeelement die auftretenden Kräfte aufnehmen kann, so dass die Funktionssicherheit des Lawinenrettungsgerätes erfüllt ist. Dies gilt insbesondere für die aufblasbaren Auftriebskörper. Daher ist die Dicke und Stärke des Gewebeelementes entsprechend den zu erwartenden Belastungen zu wählen. Da das, Gewebeelement flexibel ist, kann es sich zudem den verschieden Kontouren, beispielsweise dem Rücken des Benutzers, optimal anpassen. Zudem sind derartige Gewebeelemente von geringem Gewicht. Steife Montageplatten und unflexible Tragegestelle werden vermieden.It is crucial that the fabric element can absorb the forces that occur so that the functional reliability of the avalanche rescue device is fulfilled. This applies in particular to the inflatable buoyancy bodies. Therefore, the thickness and strength of the fabric element should be selected according to the expected loads. Since the fabric element is flexible, it can also be optimally adapted to the different contours, for example the user's back. In addition, such fabric elements are lightweight. Stiff mounting plates and inflexible support frames are avoided.

Wenn im Rahmen der vorliegenden Unterlagen von einem Gurt die Rede ist, dann kann es sich um einen einzelnen, separaten Gurt handeln. Ein Gurt kann jedoch auch aus mehreren separaten Gurtbändern bestehen, die miteinander vernäht sein können. Auch können sich die einzelnen Gurtbänder teilweise überlappen. Entscheidend ist lediglich, dass - wie bereits oben dargelegt - der sich ergebende "Gesamtgurt" über eine ausreichende Festigkeit verfügt, um die Belastungen aufnehmen zu können, welche auftreten, wenn der Rettungsfall eintritt und die Auftriebskörper aufgeblasen sind und dem Benutzer in der Lawine den erforderlichen Auftrieb verleihen sollen.If a belt is mentioned in the context of these documents, then it can be a single, separate belt. However, a belt can also consist of several separate belt straps that can be sewn together. The individual belt straps can also partially overlap. It is only decisive that - as already explained above - the resulting "overall belt" has sufficient strength to be able to absorb the loads that occur when the emergency occurs and the buoyancy bodies are inflated and the user in the avalanche the necessary To give a boost.

Das erfindungsgemäße Lawinenrettungsgerät zeichnet sich ferner dadurch aus, dass das Tragesystem mit einer ersten Verbindungseinrichtung ausgestattet ist, die mit einer zweiten Verbindungseinrichtung eines separaten Behältnisses derart zusammenwirkt, dass das Tragesystem mit dem Behältnis unter Bildung eines gemeinsamen handhabbaren Rucksacks lösbar verbunden werden kann. Die Verbindungseinrichtungen sind dabei derart ausgestaltet bzw. angebracht, dass das Tragesystem mit den daran angebrachten funktionellen Teilen zusammen mit dem daran befestigten Behältnis im Benutzungsfall, wenn sich das Lawinenrettungsgerät auf dem Rücken des Benutzers befindet, sandwichartig zwischen dem Rücken des Benutzers und dem Behältnis angeordnet ist.The avalanche rescue device according to the invention is further characterized in that the carrying system is equipped with a first connecting device which interacts with a second connecting device of a separate container in such a way that the carrying system is detachably connected to the container to form a common, manageable rucksack can be. The connecting devices are designed or attached in such a way that the carrying system with the functional parts attached to it, together with the container attached to it, is sandwiched between the user's back and the container when the avalanche rescue device is on the user's back .

Die Vorderfront des Behältnisses stellt die Rückenfront des Tragesystems dar und deckt dieses Tragesystem im vereinigten Zustand nach außen ab bzw. schließt es ab.The front of the container represents the back of the carrying system and covers this carrying system in the united state from the outside or closes it off.

Sowohl die erste Verbindungseinrichtung als auch die zweite Verbindungseinrichtung können beliebiger Art sein. Es muss lediglich sichergestellt werden, dass das zusätzliche separate Behältnis mit dem Tragesystem auf die beschriebene Art und Weise verbunden werden kann. So können beispielsweise Knöpfe als eine Verbindungseinrichtung dienen, welche im Zusammenwirken mit den dazugehörigen Knopflöchern, welche die zweite Verbindungseinrichtung darstellen, zum Vereinigen von Tragesystem und separatem zusätzlichen Behältnis dienen. Ferner können für diesen Zweck Druccknöpfe bekannter Art Anwendung finden. Vorzugsweise bilden die beiden Verbindungseinrichtungen jedoch einen Reißverschluss.Both the first connecting device and the second connecting device can be of any type. It only has to be ensured that the additional separate container can be connected to the carrying system in the manner described. For example, buttons can serve as a connecting device which, in cooperation with the associated button holes, which represent the second connecting device, serve to combine the carrying system and a separate additional container. Furthermore, push buttons of a known type can be used for this purpose. However, the two connecting devices preferably form a zip fastener.

Ein Reißverschluss besteht üblicherweise aus zwei Seitenstreifen und damit verbundenen Krampen, die mit Hilfe eines Schiebers zusammengefügt oder getrennt werden können. Bei der geschilderten bevorzugten Ausführungsform ist ein Seitenstreifen am Tragesystem befestigt, während der andere Seitenstreifen am Behältnis angebracht ist. Beide Seitenstreifen laufen vorzugsweise fast vollständig außen um das Tragesystem bzw. das Behältnis um.A zipper usually consists of two side strips and associated staples that can be joined or separated with the help of a slider. In the described preferred embodiment, one side strip is attached to the carrying system, while the other side strip is attached to the container. Both side strips preferably run almost completely around the outside of the carrying system or the container.

Nach einerweiteren bevorzugten Ausführungsform ist das Behältnis im Wesentlichen in sich geschlossen, jedoch mit mindestens einer verschließbaren Öffnung versehen, durch welche das Innere des Behältnisses von außen zugänglich ist.According to a further preferred embodiment, the container is essentially self-contained, but provided with at least one closable opening through which the interior of the container is accessible from the outside.

Das erfindungsgemäße Lawinenrettungsgerät ist jedoch nicht auf diese Art von Behältnis beschränkt. Eine der wesentlichen Vorteile des erfindungsgemäßen Lawinenrettungsgerätes besteht gerade darin, dass die verschiedenartigsten Behältnisse, beispielsweise Packsäcke unterschiedlicher Größe, Ausgestaltung oder Gestalt, mit dem Tragesystem unter Ausbildung einer gemeinsam handhabbaren Einheit in Form eines Rucksacks schnell und auf einfache Weise verbunden werden können.However, the avalanche rescue device according to the invention is not limited to this type of container. One of the main advantages of the avalanche rescue device according to the invention is that the most diverse containers, for example packsacks of different sizes, designs or shapes, can be connected quickly and easily to the carrying system to form a jointly manageable unit in the form of a backpack.

Ein Benutzer muss somit nur noch ein einziges Tragesystem erwerben und kann dies je nach Erfordernis und/oder Wunsch mit einem Behältnis seiner Wahl verbinden.A user therefore only has to purchase a single carrying system and can combine this with a container of his choice as required and / or desired.

Das Gewebeelement des Tragesystems besteht im einfachsten Falle aus einem Flächengewebe, das auch als Trägergewebe bezeichnet werden kann. Es kann sich dabei beispielsweise um ein Nylongewebe handeln. Dieses Flächengewebe muss dann natürlich über die entsprechende Festigkeit verfügen, um die auftretenden Kräfte übertragen zu können.In the simplest case, the fabric element of the carrying system consists of a flat fabric, which can also be referred to as a carrier fabric. It can be a nylon fabric, for example. This surface fabric must then of course have the appropriate strength to be able to transmit the forces that occur.

Das Tragesystem des erfindungsgemäßen Lawinenrettungsgerätes besitzt vorzugsweise einen in Aufsicht U-förmigen Basisgurt. Die Seitenschenkel dieses Basisgurtes verlaufen in der Benutzungsposition senkrecht, während der Boden dieser U-Form einen in etwa horizontal, oben verlaufenden Abschnitt bildet.The carrying system of the avalanche rescue device according to the invention preferably has a base strap that is U-shaped in plan view. The side legs of this base belt run vertically in the position of use, while the bottom of this U-shape forms an approximately horizontal section running above.

In der Nähe der freien Enden der U-Form des Basisgurtes ist vorzugsweise ein Bauchgurt mit dem Basisgurt verbunden. Dieser Bauchgurt kann zwei freie Enden besitzen, die mittels üblicher Einrichtungen, beispielsweise einer Schnalle miteinander verbunden werden können. Ist das Lawinenrettungsgerät an den Benutzer angelegt, befindet sich diese Schnalle üblicherweise vor dem Körper des Benutzers.A waist belt is preferably connected to the base belt near the free ends of the U-shape of the base belt. This waist belt can have two free ends which can be connected to one another by means of conventional devices, for example a buckle. If the avalanche rescue device is put on the user, this buckle is usually located in front of the user's body.

Das erfindungsgemäße Lawinenrettungsgerät besitzt weiterhin bevorzugt zwei Auftriebskörper. Einer dieser Auftriebskörper ist mit einem senkrechten Schenkel der U-Form des Basisgurtes verbunden, während der andere Auftriebskörper mit dem anderen senkrechten Schenkel der U-Form des Basisgurtes verbunden ist.The avalanche rescue device according to the invention also preferably has two buoyancy bodies. One of these floats is connected to a vertical leg of the U-shape of the base strap, while the other float is connected to the other vertical leg of the U-shape of the base strap.

Weiterhin bevorzugt sind bei dem erfindungsgemäßen Lawinenrettungsgerät an dem horizontal verlaufenden Abschnitt des U-förmigen Basisgurtes das obere Ende eines linken und eines rechten Schultergurtes befestigt. Zudem sind mit dem unteren Ende oder im Bereich des unteren Endes des senkrechten Schenkels des Basisgurtes jeweils ein rechter bzw. linker Hüftgurt mit diesem Basisgurt verbunden. Der rechte Schultergurt ist dann mit dem rechten Hüftgurt unter Bildung eines Tragegurtes verbindbar, beispielsweise mit Hilfe einer Schnalle oder ähnlichem. Gleiches gilt für den linken Schultergurt und den linken Hüftgurt.In the avalanche rescue device according to the invention, the upper end of a left and a right shoulder belt are also preferably attached to the horizontally extending section of the U-shaped base belt. In addition, a right or left hip belt is connected to this base belt at the lower end or in the area of the lower end of the vertical leg of the base belt. The right shoulder strap can then be connected to the right hip strap to form a carrying strap, for example with the aid of a buckle or the like. The same applies to the left shoulder belt and the left hip belt.

Wenn im Rahmen der vorliegenden Unterlagen bezüglich des Tragesystems und der dieses ausmachenden Gurtes sowie der damit zusammenwirkenden Gurte (z.B. Basisgurt) von einer Verbindung die Rede ist, dann ist darunter keine starre Verbindung zu verstehen. Vielmehr soll dadurch lediglich zum Ausdruck gebracht werden, dass die Verbindung zwischen den miteinander verbundenen Teilen über eine solche Festigkeit verfügt, dass die im Benutzungsfalle des erfindungsgemäßen Lawinenrettungsgerätes auftretenden Kräfte aufgenommen werden können und das Lawinenrettungsgerät mit insbesondere den dazugehörigen Auftriebskörpern eng mit dem Benutzer verbunden bleibt und ihm den erforderlichen Auftrieb vermittelt, so dass die Rettungsfunktion erfüllt wird.If a connection is mentioned in the context of the present documents with regard to the carrying system and the belt that makes it up, as well as the belts that interact with it (e.g. base belt), then this does not mean a rigid connection. Rather, it is merely intended to express that the connection between the interconnected parts has such a strength that the forces occurring when the avalanche rescue device according to the invention is used can be absorbed and the avalanche rescue device, in particular with the associated buoyancy devices, remains closely connected to the user and gives him the necessary buoyancy, so that the rescue function is fulfilled.

Es ist auch möglich, ein Flächengewebe mit einem oder mehreren Gurten zu kombinieren. So kann beispielsweise der oben beschriebene U-förmige Basisgurt auf das Flächengewebe aufgenäht oder auf andere Weise damit verbunden werden. Ferner ist es bei letzterer Ausführungsform möglich, den horizontalen Abschnitt dieses U-förmigen Basisgurtes zu unterbrechen oder völlig wegzulassen. In diesem Falle muss dann das Flächengewebe entsprechend stark und/oder dimensioniert sein, um den Anforderungen gerecht zu werden.It is also possible to combine a flat fabric with one or more straps. For example, the U-shaped base belt described above can be sewn onto the fabric or connected to it in some other way. In the latter embodiment it is also possible to interrupt the horizontal section of this U-shaped base belt or to omit it entirely. In this case, the fabric then has to be correspondingly thick and / or dimensioned in order to meet the requirements.

Figur 1 zeigt eine perspektivische Ansicht eines erfindungsgemäßen Lawinenrettungsgerätes 1, das aus einem Tragesystem 2 zum Tragen der funktionellen Teile und einem damit verbundenen Behältnis 3 aufgebaut ist. Das Tragesystem 2 und das Behältnis 3 sind zu einer gemeinsam handhabbaren Einheit in Form eines von einem Benutzer zu tragenden Rucksacks vereinigt. Figure 1 shows a perspective view of an avalanche rescue device 1 according to the invention, which is constructed from a carrying system 2 for carrying the functional parts and a container 3 connected to it. The carrying system 2 and the container 3 are combined to form a jointly manageable unit in the form of a rucksack to be carried by a user.

Wie man insbesondere aus der perspektivischen Explosionsansicht der Figur 2 sieht, dient das Tagesystem 2 zum Haltern mindestens einiger der funktionellen Teile. Zu diesen funktionellen Teilen zählen beispielsweise ein Druckgasbehälter 11, eine damit verbundene Leitung 12 sowie zwei aus der Figur 2 nicht ersichtliche Auftriebskörper 22, die jeweils in eine Tasche 13 bzw. 14 eingelegt werden, worauf später noch näher eingegangen wird.As can be seen in particular from the exploded perspective view of the Figure 2 sees, the day system 2 is used to hold at least some of the functional parts. These functional parts include, for example, a pressurized gas container 11, an associated line 12 and two from the Figure 2 not visible buoyancy bodies 22, which are each inserted into a pocket 13 or 14, which will be discussed in more detail later.

Zum Abdecken des Druckgasbehälters 11 dient eine Lasche 16, die mit einem Klettband 17 ausgestattet ist, das mit einem Klettband 18 unter Herstellung eines Klettverschlusses zusammenwirken kann.A flap 16, which is equipped with a Velcro strip 17, which can interact with a Velcro strip 18 to produce a Velcro fastener, serves to cover the pressurized gas container 11.

An dem Tragesystem 2 sind im oberen Bereich zwei Schultergurte 19 und im unteren Bereich zwei Bauchgurte 20 angeordnet, von denen jeweils einer rechts und der andere links angeordnet ist. In der Figur 2 ist nur der jeweils rechte Schultergurt 19 bzw. Bauchgurt 20 aus Gründen der einfacheren Darstellbarkeit gezeigt.On the carrying system 2, two shoulder straps 19 are arranged in the upper area and two waist straps 20 in the lower area, one of which is arranged on the right and the other on the left. In the Figure 2 only the right shoulder strap 19 or waist strap 20 is shown for reasons of simplicity.

Zu dem Tragesystem 2 gehört ein in Aufsicht U-förmiger Basisgurt 4, der insbesondere in der Figur 5 gezeigt ist. Die Seitenschenkel 5 des Basisgurtes 4 verlaufen in etwa senkrecht, während der Boden 6 horizontal und oben verläuft. Die Öffnung der U-Form zeigt somit nach unten.The carrying system 2 includes a U-shaped base belt 4 in plan view, which is particularly in the Figure 5 is shown. The side legs 5 of the base belt 4 run approximately vertically, while the bottom 6 runs horizontally and above. The opening of the U-shape thus points downwards.

Der Basisgurt 4 ist auf ein textiles Gewebe 7 aufgenäht oder auf andere Weise damit verbunden. Dieses textile Gewebe 7 kann beliebiger Art sein und kann dazu beitragen, die auftretenden Kräfte zusammen mit dem Basisgurt 4 aufzunehmen. Die Abstimmung der Stärke und Festigkeit von Basisgurt 4 und textilem Gewebe 7 wird derart gewählt, dass das Tragesystem 2 möglichst große Kräfte aufnehmen kann und dabei jedoch möglichst leicht ist. Bei dem textilen Gewebe 7 handelt es sich insbesondere um ein solches, das für die Herstellung von Rucksäcken und dergleichen bereits häufig eingesetzt wird, beispielsweise ein Gewebe aus einer Kunstfaser, insbesondere eine Nylongewebe.The base belt 4 is sewn onto a textile fabric 7 or connected to it in some other way. This textile fabric 7 can be of any type and can help to absorb the forces that occur together with the base belt 4. The coordination of the strength and strength of the base belt 4 and the textile fabric 7 is selected in such a way that the carrying system 2 can absorb the greatest possible forces while being as light as possible. The textile fabric 7 is in particular one that is already frequently used for the production of rucksacks and the like, for example a fabric made of a synthetic fiber, in particular a nylon fabric.

Bei der hier beschriebenen Ausführungsform besteht das Tragesystem 2 somit aus einer Kombination von einem Flächengewebe bzw. einem textilen Gewebe 7 und einem Basisgurt 4.In the embodiment described here, the carrying system 2 thus consists of a combination of a flat fabric or a textile fabric 7 and a base belt 4.

Dieses Gewebe 7 stellt die Rückenfläche des erfindungsgemäßen Lawinenrettungsgerätes 1 dar, welche auf dem Rücken des Benutzers zu liegen kommt. Der Basisgurt 4 kann dabei sowohl von innen oder von außen auf das Gewebe 7 aufgenäht sein. Das Merkmal "von außen" bedeutet dabei, dass sich das Gewebe auf der vom Rücken des Benutzers abgewandten Seite dieses Gewebes 7 befindet, während das Merkmal "von innen" bedeutet, dass der Basisgurt 4 zum Rücken des Benutzers zeigt und somit zwischen diesem Rücken und dem Gewebe 7 angeordnet ist. Auch ist es möglich, den Basisgurt 4 aufzudoppeln, und zwar derart, dass ein Gurtband innen und das andere außen zu liegen kommt.This fabric 7 represents the back surface of the avalanche rescue device 1 according to the invention, which comes to lie on the back of the user. The base belt 4 can be sewn onto the fabric 7 from the inside or from the outside. The feature "from the outside" means that the fabric is on the side of this fabric 7 facing away from the user's back, while the feature "from the inside" means that the base belt 4 points towards the user's back and thus between this back and the tissue 7 is arranged. It is also possible to double the base belt 4 in such a way that one belt strap comes to lie on the inside and the other on the outside.

An dem horizontal verlaufenden Abschnit 6 bzw. Bodengurtband sind zwei Schultergurte 19 angenäht oder auf andere Art und Weise damit verbunden. Diese Schultergurte 19 sind in den Figuren 6 und 8 nur in demjenigen Bereich dargestellt, in dem sie mit dem Basisgurt 4 und genauer mit dessen Boden 6 verbunden sind. Diese Schultergurte 19 sind durch das Vernähen natürlich auch mit dem Gewebe 7 verbunden.On the horizontally running section 6 or floor strap, two shoulder straps 19 are sewn on or connected to them in some other way. These shoulder straps 19 are in the Figures 6 and 8th only shown in the area in which they are connected to the base belt 4 and, more precisely, to the base 6 thereof. These shoulder straps 19 are of course also connected to the fabric 7 by sewing.

Die Schultergurte 19 können jeweils mit einem Hüftgurt 21 auf per se bekannte Weise verbunden werden. Dazu können als Verbindungselemente beispielsweise Schnallen oder ähnliches eingesetzt werden. Auch ist es möglich, auf derartige Verbindungselemente zu verzichten, so dass der Schultergurt 19 auch gleichzeitig den Hüftgurt 21 darstellt.The shoulder straps 19 can each be connected to a hip belt 21 in a manner known per se. For this purpose, buckles or the like, for example, can be used as connecting elements. It is also possible to dispense with such connecting elements, so that the shoulder strap 19 also represents the hip strap 21 at the same time.

Jeder der Hüftgurte 21 ist im Bereich des dazugehörigen freien Endes 8 des Basisgurtes 4 mit diesem und auch mit dem Gewebe 7 verbunden, zweckmäßigerweise ebenfalls durch Vernähen. Diese Nähte 39 sind mit Strichen in den Figuren dargestellt.Each of the hip belts 21 is connected in the area of the associated free end 8 of the base belt 4 to the latter and also to the fabric 7, expediently also by sewing. These seams 39 are shown with lines in the figures.

Auch der Bauchgurt 20 besitzt bei der dargestellten Ausführungsform zwei freie Enden, die auf übliche Weise miteinander verbunden werden können, zweckmäßigerweise ebenfalls durch eine Schnalle oder ähnliches. Zudem ist der Bauchgurt 20 hinter dem Rücken des Benutzers durchgehend ausgestaltet und läuft somit hinter dem Rücken des Benutzers durch.In the embodiment shown, the waist belt 20 also has two free ends which can be connected to one another in the usual way, expediently likewise by means of a buckle or the like. In addition, the waist belt 20 is designed to be continuous behind the back of the user and thus runs through behind the back of the user.

Mit jedem Seitenschenkel 5 des Basisgurtes 4 sind mehrere Schlingen 15 verbunden, beispielsweise vernäht. Diese Schlingen 15 können einzeln mit dem Seitenschenkel 5 vernäht sein oder können auch an einem separaten Gurtband 40 angebracht sein, das dann mit dem dazugehörigen Seitenschenkel 5 vernäht ist, wie dies beispielsweise in den Figuren 7 und 8 gezeigt ist. Bei der in den Figuren 3 und 4 gezeigten Ausführungsform ist jede Schlinge 15 direkt mit dem Schenkel 5 des Basisgurtes 4 vernäht.Several loops 15 are connected to each side leg 5 of the base belt 4, for example sewn. These loops 15 can be sewn individually to the side legs 5 or can also be attached to a separate belt strap 40, which is then sewn to the associated side legs 5, as is shown, for example, in FIGS Figures 7 and 8th is shown. In the Figures 3 and 4 In the embodiment shown, each loop 15 is sewn directly to the leg 5 of the base belt 4.

Diese Schlingen 15 sind in Richtung des Seitenschenkels 5 voneinander beabstandet und bilden zusammen mit einem Stab 9 und weiteren Schlingen 10, die am Auftriebskörper 22 befestigt sind, eine Art Scharnier. Der Stab 9 ist dabei durch die alternierend angeordneten Schlingen 15 und 10 hindurch gesteckt, so dass die genannte Funktion des Scharniers verwirklicht wird. Auch die Schlingen 10 sind somit in Längsrichtung beabstandet voneinander angeordnet, so dass die Schlingen 10 in den Zwischenräumen zwischen den Schlingen 15 und vice versa zu liegen kommen. Diese Situation ist insbesondere in der Figur 4 gezeigt. Der Auftriebskörper 22 stellt dabei einen Ballon dar und ist üblicher Art. In der Figur 4 ist dieser Auftriebskörper 22 in der entfalteten, aus dem Tragesystem 2 seitlich hinausragenden, aufgeblasenen Position dargestellt, worauf nachstehend noch näher eingegangen wird. Durch diese Ausgestaltung ist es möglich, den Auftriebskörper leicht und einfach auszutauschen, indem der Stab 9 aus den Schlingen 10 und 15 herausgezogen, der Auftriebskörper 22 durch einen neuen ersetzt und der Stab 9 wieder durch die Schlingen 10 und 15 gesteckt wird.These loops 15 are spaced from one another in the direction of the side limb 5 and together with a rod 9 and further loops 10 which are attached to the buoyancy body 22 form a type of hinge. The rod 9 is inserted through the alternately arranged loops 15 and 10, so that the mentioned function of the hinge is realized. The loops 10 are thus also arranged at a distance from one another in the longitudinal direction, so that the loops 10 come to lie in the spaces between the loops 15 and vice versa. This situation is particular in the Figure 4 shown. The float 22 represents a balloon and is of the usual type Figure 4 this buoyancy body 22 is shown in the unfolded, laterally protruding from the carrying system 2, inflated position, which will be discussed in more detail below. This configuration makes it possible to replace the float easily and simply by pulling the rod 9 out of the loops 10 and 15, replacing the float 22 with a new one and inserting the rod 9 through the loops 10 and 15 again.

Das textile Gewebe 7 ist mit einer elastischen, polsternden Schicht 23 ausgestattet. Diese Schicht 23 kann zwischen zwei Lagen des Gewebes angeordnet sein, wie dies in der Figur 4 gezeigt ist. Diese Schicht kann jedoch auch außen auf das Gewebe 7 aufgenäht sein oder auf andere Weise dort befestigt sein. Es handelt sich dabei üblicherweise um eine Schaumstofflage. Diese elastische Schicht 23 hat keine tragende Funktion sondern dient dazu, den Tragekomfort des erfindungsgemäßen Lawinenrettungsgerätes 1 zu verbessern.The textile fabric 7 is equipped with an elastic, cushioning layer 23. This layer 23 can be arranged between two layers of the fabric, as shown in FIG Figure 4 is shown. However, this layer can also be sewn onto the outside of the fabric 7 or fastened there in some other way. It is usually a foam layer. This elastic layer 23 has no load-bearing function, but rather serves to improve the wearing comfort of the avalanche rescue device 1 according to the invention.

Der zusammengefaltete Auftriebskörper 22 ist in der Figur 3 gezeigt. Die Art der Faltung dieses Auftriebskörpers 22 ist dabei aus Gründen der besseren Darstellbarkeit vereinfacht gezeichnet.The folded-up buoyancy body 22 is in the Figure 3 shown. The type of folding of this buoyancy body 22 is drawn in a simplified manner for reasons of better illustration.

Der Auftriebskörper 22, bei dem es sich um einen aufblasbaren Ballon handelt, ist in der in der Figur 2 gezeigten Tasche 14 untergebracht. Das in den Figuren dargestellte erfindungsgemäße Lawinenrettungsgerät 1 ist dabei mit zwei Auftriebskörpern 22 ausgerüstet, nämlich einem rechten und einem linken, die jeweils in einer Tasche 13,14 im zusammengefalteten Zustand verstaut sind. Sofern die nicht gezeigte, bekannte Auslöseeinheit vom Benutzer betätigt wird, gelangt ein Gas, das sich in dem Druckgasbehälter 11 befindet, über die Leitung bzw. Schläuche 12 zu den Auftriebskörpern 22, die dadurch aufgeblasen werden und seitlich nach links bzw. rechts aus den Taschen 13, 14 nach links bzw. rechts herausquellen und sich entfalten.The float 22, which is an inflatable balloon, is shown in FIG Figure 2 shown pocket 14 housed. The avalanche rescue device 1 according to the invention shown in the figures is equipped with two buoyancy bodies 22, namely a right and a left, which are each stowed in a pocket 13, 14 in the folded state. If the known release unit, not shown, is actuated by the user, a gas in the pressurized gas container 11 passes through the line or hoses 12 to the buoyancy bodies 22, which are then inflated and laterally to the left or right out of the pockets 13, 14 gush out to the left or right and unfold.

Die Tasche 14 (man vgl. Figuren 2 und 3) ist zwischen einer Gewebebahn 24 und dem Gewebe 7 ausgebildet. Die Gewebebahn 24 besitzt in Aufsicht in etwa rechteckige Form. Der linke Rand 25 dieser Gewebebahn 24 erstreckt sich dabei in etwa senkrecht und ist bei 26 auf das Gewebe 7 aufgenäht. Der rechte, senkrechte Rand 27 (Fig. 4) ist mit einem mit Krampen 28 versehenen Seitenstreifen 29 vernäht. Dieser Seitenstreifen 29 ist auf seiner zum Auftriebskörper 22 zeigenden Seite mit einem Klettband 30 versehen, das mit einem Klettband 31 unter Herstellung eines Klettverschlusses zusammenwirken kann. Dieses Klettband 31 wird von einem zweiten Seitenstreifen 32 getragen, der seitlich außen an den seitlichen Rand 33 des Gewebes 7 angenäht ist. Durch Verbinden der Klettbänder 30 und 31 miteinander wird die Tasche 14 geschlossen, in der sich der gefaltete Auftriebskörper 22 befindet.The pocket 14 (cf. Figures 2 and 3 ) is formed between a fabric web 24 and the fabric 7. The fabric web 24 has an approximately rectangular shape in plan view. The left edge 25 of this fabric web 24 extends approximately vertically and is sewn onto the fabric 7 at 26. The right, vertical edge 27 ( Fig. 4 ) is sewn with a side strip 29 provided with staples 28. This side strip 29 is provided on its side facing the buoyancy body 22 with a Velcro strip 30 which can interact with a Velcro strip 31 to produce a Velcro fastener. This Velcro tape 31 is carried by a second side strip 32 which is sewn on the outside of the side edge 33 of the fabric 7. By connecting the Velcro strips 30 and 31 to one another, the pocket 14 in which the folded buoyancy body 22 is located is closed.

Die linke Tasche 13 mit dem dazugehörigen Auftriebskörper 22 ist analog, jedoch spiegelbildlich dazu ausgebildet. Die oberen und unteren Seitenränder der Gewebebahnen 24 sind direkt oder indirekt über zusätzliche Gewebeteile mit dem Gewebe 7 verbunden.The left pocket 13 with the associated buoyancy body 22 is analogous, but designed as a mirror image. The upper and lower side edges of the fabric webs 24 are connected to the fabric 7 directly or indirectly via additional fabric parts.

Die an dem Seitenstreifen 29 angebrachten Krampen 28 wirken mit Krampen 34 unter Bildung eines Reißverschlusses zusammen, die an einem Behältnis 3 angebracht sind. Die Befestigung der Krampen 34 an dem Behältnis 3 kann dabei beliebiger Art sein. Bei der in der Figur 3 dargestellten Ausführungsform sind diese Krampen 34 über einen Seitenstreifen 35 mit dem das Behältnis 3 ausmachenden Gewebe oder ähnlichem durch Vernähen verbunden.The staples 28 attached to the side strip 29 interact with staples 34 to form a zipper, which are attached to a container 3. The attachment of the staples 34 to the container 3 can be of any type. In the case of the Figure 3 The embodiment shown are these staples 34 over a side strip 35 with the fabric making up the container 3 or the like connected by sewing.

Wie aus der Figur 2 ersichtlich laufen die Seitenstreifen 29 bzw. 32 mit den Krampen 28 bzw. 34 des Reißverschlusses außen um das Tragesystem 2 und das Behältnis 3 fast vollständig um. Eine Unterbrechung befindet sich lediglich im unteren horizontalen Bereich. Dort beginnt und endet dieser Reißverschluss aus den beiden Seitenstreifen mit den Krampen 28 und 34 sowie dem Schieber 36.As from the Figure 2 it can be seen that the side strips 29 and 32 with the staples 28 and 34 of the zipper run around the outside of the carrying system 2 and the container 3 almost completely. There is only an interruption in the lower horizontal area. This zipper made of the two side strips with the staples 28 and 34 and the slide 36 begins and ends there.

Die von den Krampen 34 des Behältnisses 3 umgrenzte Vorderseite bzw. Vorderfront 37 des Behältnisses 3 entspricht in etwa der von den Krampen 28 des Tragesystems 2 umgrenzten Fläche, so dass beim Verschließen des Reißverschlusses (gebildet aus Seitenstreifen 29, Krampen 28, Seitenstreifen 32, Krampen 34 und Schieber 36) das Behältnis 3 mit dem Tragesystems 2 vereinigt wird, jedoch nicht über die von den Krampen 28 umgrenzten Rückenfront des Tragesystems 2 hinausragt. Vorderfront und Rückenfront entsprechen sich flächenmäßig in etwa.The front or front 37 of the container 3 bounded by the staples 34 of the container 3 corresponds roughly to the area bounded by the staples 28 of the carrying system 2, so that when the zipper is closed (formed from side strips 29, staples 28, side strips 32, staples 34 and slide 36) the container 3 is combined with the carrying system 2, but does not protrude beyond the back front of the carrying system 2, which is bounded by the staples 28. Front and back front roughly correspond in terms of area.

Bei der in der Figur 2 gezeigten Ausführungsform besitzt das Behältnis 3 somit eine Vorderseite 37 (man vgl. auch Figur 3), welche das Tragesystem 2 nach Schließen des aus den Krampen 28 und 34 gebildeten Reißverschlusses das Innere des Tragesystems 2 nach außen abdeckt.In the case of the Figure 2 The embodiment shown, the container 3 thus has a front side 37 (see. Also Figure 3 ), which the carrying system 2 after closing the zipper formed from the staples 28 and 34 covers the inside of the carrying system 2 to the outside.

Das Behältnis 3 kann im Übrigen auf beliebige Art und Weise ausgestaltet sein. So kann es sich beispielsweise um ein verschließbares Behältnis handeln, das auch unterteilt sein kann. Es kommt lediglich darauf an, dass dieses Behältnis 3 einen Seitenstreifen mit dazugehörigen Krampen 34 besitzt, welche über damit zusammenwirkende Krampen 28 des Tragesystems 2 eine Verbindung zwischen dem Behältnis 3 und dem Tragesystem 2 ausbilden.The container 3 can moreover be designed in any way. For example, it can be a closable container that can also be divided. It is only important that this container 3 has a side strip with associated staples 34, which form a connection between the container 3 and the carrier system 2 via staples 28 of the carrying system 2 that cooperate therewith.

Bei der in der Figur 9 gezeigten Ausführungsform ist das Tragesystem 2 im wesentlichen aus dem Gewebe 7 aufgebaut, welches die "Rückenseite" des Tragesystems 2 darstellt. Mit diesem Gewebe 7 sind die Schultergurte 19, der Bauchgurt 20 und die Hüftgurte 21 durch Nähte 39 direkt verbunden. Die gesamte Kraft wird somit durch das Gewebe 7 aufgenommen.In the case of the Figure 9 The embodiment shown, the carrying system 2 is essentially composed of the fabric 7, which represents the “back side” of the carrying system 2. The shoulder straps 19, the waist strap 20 and the hip straps 21 are directly connected to this fabric 7 by seams 39. The entire force is thus absorbed by the tissue 7.

Zur Befestigung der nicht gezeigten Auftriebskörper dienen Schlingen 15, die ebenfalls durch Nähte 39 direkt mit dem Gewebe 7 verbunden sind.Loops 15, which are also connected directly to the fabric 7 by seams 39, are used to fasten the buoyancy bodies (not shown).

Statt der einzelnen Schlingen 15 kann natürlich auch wie bei der in der Fig. 8 gezeigten Ausführungsform ein Gurtband 40 zusammen mit Schlingen 15 zur Anwendung gelangen.Instead of the individual loops 15, of course, as in the Fig. 8 The embodiment shown, a belt strap 40 together with loops 15 are used.

Ferner ist es möglich, den Abschnitte oder Bereiche des zuvor geschilderten Basisgurtes 4 zusammen mit dem Gewebe 7 zu kombinieren.It is also possible to combine the sections or areas of the previously described basic belt 4 with the fabric 7.
