Definitions

  • the invention relates to a fin according to the preamble of claim 1.
  • Such a generic fin is from the WO 2005/105566 A1 known.
  • This fin for surfboards has a fin head and a fin blade, which are interconnected by means of a bolt inserted in the bore of the fin head and the fin shank, wherein the fin head and the fin blade are positively connected with each other.
  • the DE 38 01 747 A1 shows a fin box with fin for surfboards, in which the fin box in the longitudinal direction of the surfboard has a slot for the fin to be locked.
  • the side walls of the fin box each have a groove which guide a rear-side pin of the fin shank and a sliding block for locking the fin.
  • a predetermined breaking element is arranged, which breaks off when exceeding a predetermined load. The Finn can then be pivoted about a transverse to the longitudinal direction of the surfboard bolts.
  • the US 5,813,890 A describes a fin in which the fin head and the fin blade are resiliently connected to each other, so that the fin blade can be pivoted relative to the fin head connected to the surfboard with lateral force.
  • This avoids damage to the fin, fin box and surfboard to a certain extent during lateral movement of the board during a ground contact, for example in the surf.
  • the problem here is that even during normal surfing without grounding the side, so transversely to the direction of travel, acting forces can be so large that the fin swings laterally while driving and thus loses its control function.
  • forces swinging is not possible in this known fin, so that there is still the risk of damage.
  • the DE 29 32 750 A1 deals with the same problem and also proposes a hinged coupling between the fin head and the fin blade, wherein the fin is laterally deflected at forces transverse to the longitudinal extent of the surfboard against spring force and longitudinal forces acting on exceeding a limit load from a slot of the surfboard after is liftable above.
  • Surfboards for water sports such as surfboards, windsurfing boards, kiteboard boards and the like, as well as boats, such as sailing or motor boats, are equipped with one or more fins, which protrude from the underside of the surfboard or boat and for the control and stabilization of the surfboard or boat necessary or useful.
  • fins When running onto an obstacle, such as a beach, there is a risk that the fin or the surfboard will be damaged.
  • Finns are usually mounted in a fin box on the surfboard or boat, with damage to the fin box in particular resulting in a time-consuming and usually very expensive repair.
  • the object of the invention is to improve the fin of the type mentioned in that it is destructively separated from the surfboard or boat with excessive force in any direction and is still held at normal ride on the surfboard or boat.
  • the fin should therefore be ground contact both by longitudinal forces and shear forces from the board or boat, during normal travel through the water, but not pivot at high shear forces, except for a desired intrinsic elasticity of the material.
  • the basic principle of the invention is to couple the fin head and the fin blade together by a shear bolt which has at least one, preferably two, predetermined breaking points, wherein the coupling point between the fin head and the fin blade produces a form-fitting, rigid or non-hinged connection.
  • the fin designated in its entirety by the reference numeral 1 has a fin head 2 and a fin blade 3, which can be coupled together by means of a shear pin 4.
  • the fin head 2 can be used in a known manner in a fin box 5 of a surfboard 6.
  • the fin box 5 and the fin head are designed for the so-called.
  • FCS fin system which is very common for surfers. It should be noted, however, that the invention is applicable to any type of connection between fin and surfboard or boat.
  • the fin head 2 has two projections 7 and 8 which are insertable into mounts 9 and 10 of the fin box 5 and fastened by screws, not shown.
  • the body of the fin head 2 has a central recess 11, so that on both sides (in the side view of Fig. 1 ) remain two projections 12 and 13 remain, each having a bore 14 and 15, said two holes 14 and 15 are aligned along a common axis 16.
  • a semicircular centering projection 17 is provided, on both sides of which substantially flat end faces 18 and 19 join.
  • the recess 11 indicative edges of the projections 12 and 13 have circularly curved side surfaces 35 and 36 with a radius 20 and 21, wherein the circle center at ground contact counter to the direction of rotation is the fulcrum to the the fin sheet 3 at break of the shear pin 4 relative to the fin head 2 can be pivoted.
  • the end faces of the projections 12 and 13 are flat.
  • the fin blade 3 has a projection 22 which is exactly adapted to the recess 11 of the fin head 2 and has corresponding side surfaces 37 and 38 with corresponding radii. On both sides of the projection 22 thus recesses 12 'and 13' are present, whose end faces are flat.
  • the projection 22 has a bore 23 which has the same diameter as the bores 14 and 15 and whose axis is aligned with the fin mounted with the axis 16 of the fin head 2.
  • the facing the fin head 2 top of the projection 22 has a groove 24 which is adapted to the centering projection 17 and two laterally adjoining flat end faces 25 and 26, which mounted fin 1 with the end faces 18 and 19 at the bottom of the recess 11 of the fin head 2 come into contact.
  • the connection between the fin head 2 and fin sheet 3 is effected by the shear pin 4, whose diameter is adapted to the bores 14, 15 and 23 and which here has two predetermined breaking points 27 and 28.
  • the predetermined breaking points 27 and 28 are, as better in Fig. 3 can be seen, arranged in the gap between the projection 22 and the projections 12 and 13, when the shear pin 4 is correctly inserted into the holes 14, 15 and 23.
  • the predetermined breaking points 27 and 28 are material weakenings, which are generated for example by milling. They extend obliquely to the central axis of the shear pin, so that they are in the side view about the contour of the gap between the projection 22nd and adjust the projections 12 and 13.
  • the length of the shear pin 4 is preferably chosen so that its two ends are flush with the fin head 2, wherein the end faces 29 and 30 of the shear pin are adapted to the contour of the corresponding end faces of the fin head 2.
  • a locking pin 31 is provided, which is inserted into a perpendicular to the longitudinal axis of the shear pin 4 extending bore 32 and projects into a bore 33 aligned therewith in the fin head 2.
  • a corresponding bore 34 may also be provided in the fin blade 3.
  • the bore 33 in the fin head 2 may be formed as a blind hole. But it can also be designed as a through hole, so that the locking pin 31 can be inserted from above through the fin head 2. In this case, the bore 34 can be omitted in the fin sheet 3.
  • FIGS. 3 and 4 It can be seen that the predetermined breaking points 27 and 28 are arranged exactly in the transition region or gap between the projection 22 of the fin blade and the two projections 12 and 13 adjacent to the recess 11.
  • Fig. 4 the connection between the fin head 2 and the fin blade 3 is positively stable, since the corresponding end faces 18, 19 and 25, 26 on both sides of the centering projection 17 and the groove 24 and thus prevent lateral pivoting of the fin sheet 3 relative to the fin head 2.
  • the shear pin 4 is also at the two predetermined breaking points 27 and 28 break substantially simultaneously and the fin blade 3 is also non-destructively separated from the fin head 2.
  • the predetermined breaking points 27 and 28 are to be dimensioned so that the fin sheet 3, the fin head 2 and the fin box 5 is not damaged.
  • a safety cable 39 can be provided which maintains a connection between the fin blade 3 and the fin head 2.
  • the safety cable 39 can in corresponding recesses 40 of the fin head 2 and the fin sheet third be housed or connected to the locking pin 31.
  • the material for the fin head 2 and the fin sheet 3 is particularly in terms of machinability, notched impact strength, elongation at break, e-modulus, yield stress, use temperature, water and moisture absorption and price particularly copolymeric polyoxymethylene suitable, while the shear pin is preferably made of polypropylene.
  • the grooves required for the predetermined breaking points 27 and 28 are preferably milled so that, depending on the cutting depth, the force can be set at which the shearing of the shear bolt 4 takes place.
  • the Fig. 5 to 7 show developments of the shear pin 4, which in the embodiments of the Fig. 1 to 4 can be used.
  • the shear bolt 4 of the Fig. 5 to 7 has at its one end a semi-cylindrical body 41 whose central axis is perpendicular to the longitudinal axis 16 of the shear pin.
  • This semi-cylindrical body 41 may be made in one piece with the shear pin 4 made of plastic.
  • a bent, in particular semicircular curved cap 42 is attached to this end of the shear bolt, which has at its two ends locking pin 43 and 44.
  • the semi-cylindrical body 41 and the cap 42 take over in this embodiment substantially the function of the locking pin 31 of the embodiment of the Fig. 1 and 3 ,
  • the fin head 2 and the fin blade 3 have in this embodiment in the front region (relative to the direction of travel) a semi-cylindrical groove (not shown), in which the semi-cylindrical body 41 engages and thereby aligns the shear pin 4 in the rotational direction about its longitudinal axis 16.
  • the cap 42 covers the front of the fin head 2 and / or the fin blade 3 and engages with the detents 43 and 44 in corresponding recesses, whereby the shear pin 4 is secured and at the same time the leading edge of the fin head 2 and / or the fin blade 3 covered according to the contour of the same and thus closed.
  • shear pin 4 has a central bore 45 which extends substantially over the entire length of the shear pin 4. Inside this bore 45 a catch 39 is arranged, which is connected at its two ends 47 and 48 with the shear pin 4. The end 47 is attached to a plug 46 while the end 48 is secured to the body 41.
  • Fig. 7 is the safety rope 39 of the Fig. 6 replaced by an elastically stretchable filling material 50, which is produced for example in 2-component injection molding together with the shear pin 4.
  • the filler 50 expands due to its high elasticity and high extensibility acts as a safety rope and holds according to the fin blade 3 also on the fin head second
  • the shear pin 4 is made of solid but brittle material whose fracture behavior can be defined by the hardness of the material.
  • plastics for this purpose include polycarbonate, ABS (acrylonitrile butadiene styrene copolymer), POM (polyoxymethylene), PVC (polyvinyl chloride) and PMMA (polymethyl methacrylate).
  • Suitable for the filler 50 are flexible and ductile plastics, such as e.g. Soft PVC, silicone or rubber.
  • the body 41 may have other shapes - as shown -, for example, rectangular or wedge-shaped, wherein then the groove in the fin head 2 and / or the fin sheet 3 is adjusted accordingly.
