Description

Die Erfindung betrifft eine Einrichtung zum Klettern an Masten, Bäumen, Säulen, Pfeilern oder dgl. nach dem Oberbegriff des Patentanspruches 1.The invention relates to a device for climbing on poles, trees, columns, pillars or the like. According to the preamble of claim 1.

Die DE 202 07 771 U1 offenbart eine Klettereinrichtung, die im wesentlichen von einem Klettergriff mit einem Befestigungselement zum Anbringen an einer künstlichen Kletterwand und einem Griffelement zum Angreifen, sowie von mindestens einem Kletterwandmodul gebildet ist.
Aufgabe dieser Einrichtung ist es, eine Möglichkeit vorzuschlagen, die mit einfachen Mitteln einen reproduzierbaren Aufbau von künstlichen Kletterwänden mit bestimmten Kletterrouten erlaubt.
Zur Lösung dieser Aufgabe wird ein Klettergriff vorgeschlagen, der mindestens eine Markierung und/oder ein Rastelement aufweist, sodaß der Klettergriff anhand dieser Markierung an der Kletterwand stetes in der gleichen Lage ausgerichtet werden und eine einmal aufgebaute Kletterwand beliebig oft nachgebaut werden kann.The DE 202 07 771 U1 discloses a climbing device which is essentially formed by a climbing grip with a fastening element for attachment to an artificial climbing wall and a grip element for engagement, as well as at least one climbing wall module.
The object of this device is to propose a possibility that allows with simple means a reproducible construction of artificial climbing walls with certain climbing routes.
To solve this problem, a climbing handle is proposed, which has at least one mark and / or a locking element, so that the climbing handle are constantly aligned with this mark on the climbing wall in the same position and a once built climbing wall can be recreated as often.

Weitere Kletterwände sind zwar beispielsweise in der DE 203 08 822 U1 und der DE 195 11 412 A1 offenbart, jedoch betreffen diese ebenfalls nur künstliche Kletterwände, an denen die Klettergriffe lösbar befestigt sind und -beispielsweise zur Erhöhung des Schwierigkeitsgrades- relativ leicht austauschbar sind.Other climbing walls are for example in the DE 203 08 822 U1 and the DE 195 11 412 A1 disclosed, however, these also relate only artificial climbing walls to which the climbing holds are releasably secured and -for example, to increase the degree of difficulty-relatively easily replaceable.

Schließlich zeigt die DE 299 12 078 U1 einen Klettergriff der von der Rückseite einer künstlichen Kletterwand an dieser befestigbar ist.Finally, the shows DE 299 12 078 U1 a climbing grip that can be attached to the back of an artificial climbing wall.

Demgegenüber liegt der Erfindung die Aufgabe zugrunde eine Einrichtung zum Klettern an Masten, Bäumen, Säulen, Pfeilern oder dgl. zu schaffen, wobei durch die Befestigung der Klettergriffe an diesen Gegenständen keine Beschädigungen hervor gerufen werden sollen.In contrast, the present invention seeks to provide a device for climbing poles, trees, columns, pillars or the like., With no damage to be caused by the attachment of the climbing holds on these objects.

Diese Aufgabe wird ausgehend von einem oder mehreren zur Aufnahme von jeweils einem oder mehreren Klettergriffen vorgesehenen Befestigungselementen dadurch erreicht, daß das/die Befestigungselemente mittels jeweils eines Spanngurtes lösbar mit dem Mast verbindbar sind. Hierdurch lassen sich die Befestigungselemente schnell am Mast befestigen und auch genau so schnell wieder von diesem lösen, ohne hierbei bleibende Schäden an dem Mast zu verursachen. Ferner läßt sich das Befestigungselement an jeder beliebigen Stelle des Mastes anordnen, sodaß jeder beliebige Schwierigkeitsgrad für das Klettern einstellbar ist.This object is based on one or more intended for receiving each one or more climbing grips fasteners achieved in that the / the fasteners are releasably connected by means of a tension belt with the mast. As a result, the fasteners can be quickly attached to the mast and just as quickly solve this again, without causing permanent damage to the mast. Furthermore, the fastener can be arranged at any point of the mast, so that any difficulty for climbing is adjustable.

Eine in konstruktiver Hinsicht einfache und auch eine ausreichende Sicherheit gewährleistende Lösung wird dann erreicht, wenn der Spanngurt einen im wesentlichen rechteckförmigen Querschnitt aufweist, und das Befestigungselement mit einer sich über seine Breite erstreckenden Aufnahmeöffnung für den Spanngurt versehen ist, deren Querschnittsform der Querschnittsform des Spanngurtes entspricht.
Da Spanngurte im allgemeinen einen rechteckförmigen Querschnitt aufweisen und diese mit ihrer Breitseite am Mast anliegen, ergibt sich einerseits am Mast eine geringe Flächenpressung und andererseits gewährleistet das relativ grobe Gewebe des Spanngurtes einen hohen Reibungskoeffizienten und damit eine große Rutschsicherheit.A structurally simple and also sufficient security ensuring solution is achieved when the tension belt has a substantially rectangular cross-section, and the fastener is provided with a extending over its width receiving opening for the tension belt whose cross-sectional shape corresponds to the cross-sectional shape of the tension belt ,
Since tension straps generally have a rectangular cross-section and these rest with their broad side on the mast, on the one hand, a low surface pressure results on the mast and on the other hand ensures the relatively coarse fabric of the tension belt a high coefficient of friction and thus a high slip resistance.

Um das Einbringen des Spanngurtes in die Aufnahmeöffnung zu erleichtern, dabei aber bei sich während der Montage in Schräglage befindlichem Befestigungselement ein Herausrutschen des Spanngurtes aus dem Befestigungselement zu vermeiden, weist die Aufnahmeöffnung im Bereich ihrer seitlichen Enden jeweils eine Verengung auf.In order to facilitate the introduction of the tensioning belt in the receiving opening, but to avoid slipping out of the tensioning belt from the fastening element during assembly in an inclined position fastening element, the receiving opening in the region of its lateral ends in each case a constriction.

Um beim Einbringen des Spanngurtes in die Aufnahmeöffnung ein Einfädeln desselben zu vermeiden weist das Befestigungselement einen sich von seiner Außenseite bis zur Aufnahmeöffnung erstreckenden Schrägschlitz auf, dessen Breite der Dicke des Spanngurtes entspricht.In order to avoid threading it when introducing the tension belt into the receiving opening, the fastening element has an oblique slot extending from its outer side to the receiving opening, the width of which corresponds to the thickness of the tension belt.

Ein sich selbsttätiges Herausbewegen des Spanngurtes durch den Schrägschlitz hindurch kann dann vermieden werden, wenn dieser unterhalb des oberen Endes der Aufnahmeöffnung in diese mündet.An automatic removal of the tension belt through the oblique slot can be avoided if it opens below the upper end of the receiving opening in this.

Eine sichere Anlage des Befestigungselementes am Mast ergibt sich dadurch, daß die Rückseite des Befestigungselementes als Anlagefläche an den Mast dient und diese konkav und rutschfest ausgebildet ist.A secure attachment of the fastener on the mast results from the fact that the back of the fastener as a contact surface serves to the mast and this is formed concave and non-slip.

Eine in konstruktiver Hinsicht einfache Ausbildung für das Befestigungselement kann dadurch erreicht werden, wenn dessen obere Stirnfläche als Griff- oder Trittfläche dient, und diese rutschfest ausgebildet ist.
Dabei ist es zur Vergrößerung der Griff- oder Trittfläche vorteilhaft, wenn die Dicke des Befestigungselementes im Bereich des Schrägschlitzes gegenüber seiner Dicke im übrigen Bereich zu vergrößern.A structurally simple design for the fastener can be achieved if the upper end face serves as a grip or tread surface, and this is formed non-slip.
It is advantageous to increase the grip or tread surface when the thickness of the fastener in the region of the oblique slot with respect to its thickness in the remaining area to enlarge.

Eine Begrenzung der Trittfläche wird dadurch erreicht, wenn das Befestigungselement einen seine obere Stirnfläche begrenzenden Steg aufweist.A limitation of the tread is achieved when the fastener has a web limiting its upper end face.

Zur Verwendung der erfindungsgemäßen Einrichtung auch zum Eisklettern in Verbindung mit Eisgeräten oder Steigeisen benutzen zu können, weist die Griff- oder Trittfläche Vertiefungen zum Einhängen solcher Geräte auf.To use the device according to the invention also for ice climbing in conjunction with ice tools or crampons, the handle or tread has recesses for mounting such devices.

Um die erfindungsgemäße Einrichtung auch in solchen Fällen benutzen zu können, wenn es erforderlich ist, das Befestigungselement mit einem zweiten Spanngurt zu sichern, weist dieses im Bereich seines unteren Endes eine der ersten Aufnahmeöffnung entsprechende zweite Aufnahmeöffnung für einen zweiten Spanngurt auf.In order to use the device according to the invention in such cases, when it is necessary to secure the fastener with a second strap, this has in the region of its lower end to the first receiving opening corresponding second receiving opening for a second strap.

Zur Vermeidung eines Verrutschen der Spanngurte am Mast, ist es vorteilhaft, diese in bestimmten Abständen mit Gleitsicherungen zu versehen, wobei diese die Spanngurte zumindest teilweise umschließen.To avoid slippage of the straps on the mast, it is advantageous to provide these at certain intervals with anti-slip, which at least partially enclose the straps.

Weitere Vorteile und Einzelheiten der Erfindung ergeben sich aus der nachfolgenden Beschreibung eines in der beigefügten Zeichnung dargestellten Ausührungsbeispiels der Erfindung.Further advantages and details of the invention will become apparent from the following description of an embodiment of the invention shown in the accompanying drawings.

In Fig. 1 ist ein Befestigungselement 1 in Frontansicht gezeigt, das eine im wesentlichen trapezförmige Form aufweist, in dessen unterem Bereich ein Befestigungsgewinde 2 für einen nicht näher beschriebenen Gewindezapfen 3 eines Klettergriffes 4 vorgesehen ist. Hierdurch wird es ermöglicht, das Befestigungselement 1 wahlweise mit unterschiedliche Schwierigkeitsgrade aufweisenden Klettergriffen 4 zu bestücken.In Fig. 1 a fastener 1 is shown in front view, which has a substantially trapezoidal shape, in the lower region of a fastening thread 2 is provided for a threaded pin 3 not described in detail of a climbing grip 4. This makes it possible to equip the fastening element 1 optionally with different degrees of difficulty having climbing holds 4.

Zur Befestigung des Befestigungselementes 1 an dem jeweils zu erkletternden Mast, Baum, Pfeiler, Säule oder dgl. dient ein Spanngurt 5, der vorzugsweise einen rechteckförmigen Querschnitt aufweist. Der Spanngurt 5 kann ein eine bestimmte Festigkeit aufweisender handelsüblicher Spanngurt sein, wie er beispielsweise zum Festzurren von Gegenständen dient und ein lösbares Spannschloß aufweist, das als Schnellverschluß ausgebildet sein kann.
Das Befestigungselement 1 weist zur Aufnahme des Spanngurtes 5 eine dessen Querschnittsform entsprechende Aufnahmeöffnung 6 auf, die sich über die gesamte Breite des Befestigungselementes 1 erstreckt. Die Breite und Höhe der Aufnahmeöffnung 6 sind maßlich so auf die entsprechenden Maße des Spanngurtes 5 abgestimmt, daß dieser sich zügig durch die Aufnahmeöffnung 6 hindurch bewegen läßt. Um das Einbringen des Spanngurtes 5 in die Aufnahmeöffnung 6 zu erleichtern ist am Befestigungselement 1 ein sich von dessen Außenseite zur Aufnahmeöffnung 6 erstreckender Schrägschlitz 7 vorgesehen, der unterhalb des oberen Endes der Aufnahmeöffnung 6 in diese mündet. Der Schrägschlitz 7 erstreckt sich ebenfalls über die gesamte Breite des Befestigungselementes 1, sodaß sich der Spanngurt 5 in leicht abgekröpfter Form durch den Schrägschlitz 7 in das Befestigungselement 1 einbringen läßt. Auf diese Weise läßt sich das Befestigungselement 1 auch an einem schon an dem zu erkletternden Objekt befestigten Spanngurt 5 befestigen, ohne hierzu den Spanngurt 5 demontieren zu müssen.
Da der Schrägschlitz 7 -wie aus Fig.2 hervorgeht- etwas unterhalb des oberen Endes der Aufnahmeöffnung 6 in diese einmündet, ist sichergestellt, daß der Spanngurt 5 sich nicht durch den Schrägschlitz 7 aus der Aufnahmeöffnung 6 heraus bewegen kann. Um ein ungewolltes Herausgleiten des Spanngurtes 5 aus der Aufnahmeöffnung 6 zu vermeiden, ist im Bereich der seitlichen Enden der Aufnahmeöffnung 6 jeweils eine Verengung 8 vorgesehen.
Die Rückseite des Befestigungselementes 1 ist -wie aus Fig.3 hervorgeht- konkav ausgebildet und dient als Anlagefläche 9 für das Befestigungselement 1 an dem zu erkletternden Objekt. Um ein Verrutschen des am zu erkletternden Objekt festgezurrten Befestigungselementes 1 zu vermeiden, ist die Anlagefläche 9 des Befestigungselementes 1 rutschfest ausgebildet.
Da es in manchen Fällen vorteilhaft ist, das Befestigungselement 1 an zwei Stellen am zu erkletternden Objekt befestigen zu können, ist im Bereich des unteren Endes des Befestigungselementes 1 eine der Aufnahmeöffnung 6 entsprechende zweite Aufnahmeöffnung 11 vorgesehen, die sich ebenfalls über die gesamte Breite des Befestigungselementes 1 erstreckt und hinsichtlich ihrer Ausbildung der Aufnahmeöffnung 6 entspricht. Die zweite Aufnahmeöffnung 11 dient zur Aufnahme eines zweiten Spanngurtes 12, dessen Ausbildung der Ausbildung des Spanngurtes 5 entspricht, sodaß das Befestigungselement 1 mit Hilfe der beiden Spanngurte 5,12 an zwei Stellen des zu erkletternden Objektes befestigt werden kann.To fasten the fastener 1 to the respective mast, tree, pillar, pillar or the like to be climbed, a tension belt 5, which preferably has a rectangular cross-section, serves. The tension belt 5 may be a commercial strength strap having a certain strength, as it serves, for example, for lashing objects and has a releasable turnbuckle, which may be designed as a quick release.
The fastening element 1 has a receiving opening 6 corresponding to its cross-sectional shape for receiving the tension belt 5, which extends over the entire width of the fastening element 1. The width and height of the receiving opening 6 are dimensionally matched to the corresponding dimensions of the tension belt 5, that this can be quickly moved through the receiving opening 6 through. In order to facilitate the introduction of the tensioning belt 5 into the receiving opening 6, a slanted slot 7 extending from its outer side to the receiving opening 6 is provided on the fastening element 1, which opens into the receiving opening 6 below the upper end thereof. The slanted slot 7 also extends over the entire width of the fastening element 1, so that the tensioning belt 5 can be introduced into the fastening element 1 in a slightly bent shape through the oblique slot 7. In this way, the fastener 1 can also attach to an already attached to the object to be climbed tension belt 5, without having to disassemble the tension belt 5.
Since the slant 7 - as out Fig.2 shows something slightly below the upper end of the receiving opening 6 opens into this, it is ensured that the tension belt 5 can not move through the inclined slot 7 out of the receiving opening 6 out. To avoid accidental slipping out of the tension belt 5 from the receiving opening 6, a constriction 8 is provided in each case in the region of the lateral ends of the receiving opening 6.
The back of the fastener 1 is-as out Figure 3 emerges concave and serves as a bearing surface 9 for the fastener 1 on the object to be climbed. In order to avoid slippage of the fastened to the object to be fastened fastener 1, the contact surface 9 of the fastener 1 is formed non-slip.
Since it is advantageous in some cases to fasten the fastening element 1 in two places on the object to be climbed, a second receiving opening 11 corresponding to the receiving opening 6 is provided in the region of the lower end of the fastening element 1, which also extends over the entire width of the fastening element 1 extends and corresponds with respect to their formation of the receiving opening 6. The second receiving opening 11 serves to receive a second tension belt 12, the formation of which corresponds to the formation of the tension belt 5, so that the fastening element 1 can be fastened with the aid of the two tension straps 5, 12 at two points of the object to be climbed.

Um eine über den reinen Reibungsschluß zwischen dem zu erkletternden Objekt und dem jeweiligen Spanngurt 5,12 hinausgehende Sicherheit gegen Verrutschen der Spanngurte 5,12 am zu erkletternden Objekt zu erreichen, sind diese in bestimmten Abständen mit Gleitsicherungen 13 versehen, die im wesentlichen von an ihren beiden Enden nach innen abgewinkelten Spangen 14 gebildet sind. Die Außenseiten der Spangen 14 bilden deren Anlageflächen 15 am zu erkletternden Objekt und sind mit kleinen Spitzen oder rutschhemmenden Noppen 16 versehen, während ihre auf einander zu abgewinkelte Enden 17 den jeweiligen Spanngurt 5, 12 zumindest teilweise umschließen.In order to achieve over the pure frictional engagement between the object to be climbed and the respective strap 5,12 safety against slippage of the straps 5,12 on the object to be climbed, these are provided at certain intervals with anti-slip 13, which is essentially at their both ends inwardly angled clasps 14 are formed. The outsides of the clasps 14 form their contact surfaces 15 on the object to be climbed and are provided with small tips or slip-resistant nubs 16, while their on each other to angled ends 17 the respective strap 5, 12 at least partially enclose.

Wie aus Fig. 2 hervorgeht, ist oberhalb des Schrägschlitzes 7 die Dicke des Befestigungselementes 1 über dessen gesamte Breite um einen bestimmten Betrag vergößert. Hierdurch ist auch die obere Stirnfläche 18 des Befestigungselementes 1 entsprechend vergrößert und bildet eine Griff- oder Trittfläche, die durch einen sich ebenfalls über die gesamte Breite des Befestigungselementes 1 erstreckenden Steg 19 begrenzt ist. Die obere Stirnfläche 18 ist ebenfalls rutschsicher ausgebildet. Sofern die obere Stirnfläche 18 als Trittfläche dient, erfüllt der Steg 19 insoweit eine Doppelfunktion, als er einerseits das zu erkletternde Objekt, beispielsweise einen, Baum gegen Beschädigung seiner Rinde durch die Schuhe des Kletterers schützt und andererseits die Schuhe des Kletterers gegen Verschmutzungen durch Baumharz geschützt sind.
In der oberen Stirnfläche 18 des Befestigungselementes 1 können Vertiefungen 21 eingearbeitet sein, die im Falle der Benutzung der oberen Stirnfläche 18 als Grifffläche als Kletterhilfe dienen.How out Fig. 2 shows, above the inclined slot 7, the thickness of the fastener 1 over the entire width increases by a certain amount. As a result, the upper end face 18 of the fastening element 1 is correspondingly enlarged and forms a grip or tread surface, which is bounded by a likewise extending over the entire width of the fastener 1 web 19. The upper end surface 18 is also formed non-slip. If the upper end face 18 serves as a stepping surface, the web 19 fulfills a dual function insofar as it protects the object to be climbed, for example a tree against damage to its bark by the climber's shoes and, on the other hand, protects the climber's shoes against contamination by tree resin are.
In the upper end face 18 of the fastener 1 recesses 21 may be incorporated, which serve as a climbing aid in the case of use of the upper end face 18 as a gripping surface.

Sofern das Befestigungselement 1 auch zum Eisklettern und somit in Verbindung mit Eisgeräten oder Steigeisen benutzt wird, können die Vertiefungen 21 in der oberen Stirnfläche zum Einhängen solcher Geräte dienen.If the fastening element 1 is also used for ice climbing and thus in conjunction with ice tools or crampons, the recesses 21 may serve in the upper end face for mounting such devices.

Die in den Fig. 6 und 7 dargestellte vereinfachte Ausführung eines Befestigungselementes 30 dient als Trittstufe beim Befestigen des ersten Befestigungselementes 1 am zu erkletternden Objekt.
Das Befestigungselement 30 wird mittels eines Spanngurtes 31 am zu erkletternden Objekt befestigt und weist ebenfalls eine Aufnahmeöffnung 32 für den Spanngurt 31 auf, die in analoger Weise zu den Aufnahmeöffnungen 6,12 ausgebildet ist und sich daher ebenfalls über die gesamte Breite des Befestigungselementes 30 erstreckt. An ihrem freien Ende ist auch die Aufnahmeöffnung 32 mit Verengungen 33 versehen, die ein ungewolltes sich Herausbewegen oder Herausfallen des in die Aufnahmeöffnung 32 eingebrachten Spanngurtes 31 verhindern.The in the 6 and 7 illustrated simplified embodiment of a fastener 30 serves as a tread when attaching the first fastener 1 on the object to be climbed.
The fastening element 30 is fastened by means of a tension belt 31 on the object to be climbed and also has a receiving opening 32 for the tensioning belt 31, which is formed in an analogous manner to the receiving openings 6,12 and therefore also extends over the entire width of the fastening element 30. At its free end, the receiving opening 32 is provided with constrictions 33, which prevent unintentional moving out or falling out of the introduced into the receiving opening 32 tension belt 31.

Die obere Stirnfläche 34 des Befestigungselementes 30 dient hier als Trittfläche und ist ebenfalls rutschfest ausgebildet. Zur Begrenzung der Trittfläche ist ebenfalls ein sich über die gesamte Breite des Befestigungselementes 30 erstreckender Steg 35 vorgesehen, der eine Verlängerung der rückseitigen Fläche des Befestigungselementes 30 bildet, die als Anlagefläche 36 für das Befestigungselement 30 am zu erkletternden Objekt dient und konkav und rutschfest ausgebildet ist. Auch hier kann der Spanngurt 31 in analoger Weise zur vorbeschriebenen ersten Ausführungsform mit Gleitsicherungen bestückt sein.The upper end face 34 of the fastening element 30 serves here as a tread surface and is also formed non-slip.
