Description

    Object of the Invention
  • Device to obtain positional control.
    • Field of the Invention
  • This device is preferably applicable in sporting apparatus and is intended to encourage the take off of sportsmen/women mainly in sprint races be it athletics or swimming races.
    • Background of the Invention
  • Devices with the indicated purpose have already been known for some years, such devices comprise supports which are coupled in different positions on a platform for supporting the feet of the athlete or swimmer.
  • GB2388050 discloses a starting aid for use in swimming comprises a platform with a leading edge, wherein said platform is configured to be disposed with said leading edge adjacent to an edge of a swimming pool said aid further comprising a surface, located behind said leading edge and upwardly inclined with respect to said platform, for a swimmer to push against with one foot whilst diving from the platform. The surface may be integrally formed with the platform or may be detachable mounted on the platform. The angle of inclination of the surface may be adjustable. The distance of the surface from the leading edge may be adjustable.
  • DE202009010285U1 discloses a life-starting device that delivers support of the athlete for starting methods. The starting device is a combination of the known starting blocks from the swimming and the equally well-known start-up aid for athletics.

    • Summary of the Invention
  • The present invention refers to a starting device for sports as defined in claim 1.
  • The object of this invention is a simple device to obtain positional control which can easily be handled by the user and which further has an aesthetic finish, being applicable to a support movable on a platform.
  • This support has an angular constitution with a lower horizontal section which moves guided on the platform and which has, on its lower part, a protrusion which selectively fits into aligned openings provided in the platform, the indicated horizontal section comprising two pins, one front pin and another rear pin, having play in respective slots of the guide, the rear pin being coupled in a vertical slot provided in said horizontal section of the support.
  • The support and the guide are covered with a cuff having a slot on its upper face through which protrudes the upper oblique section of the support.
  • These and other features will be better inferred from the following detailed description, two sheets of drawings depicting a practical embodiment described only by way of non-limiting example of the scope of the invention are attached to facilitate same.
    • Description of the Drawings
  • In the drawings:
    • Figures 1 and 2 depict in detail the device object of the invention in locked and unlocked position, respectively,
    • Figure 3 illustrates in plan view the platform comprising a support on each side,
    • Figure 4 shows the platform corresponding to a podium in which the device object of the invention is used, and
    • Figures 5 and 6 show the perspective view and the exploded perspective view of the entire platform of the podium.
    Description of a Preferred Embodiment
  • According to the drawings, the device to obtain positional control is applied to a support (1) having an angular constitution, with a lower horizontal section (2) which moves guided on a platform (3), and has, in its lower part, a protrusion (4) which selectively fits into aligned openings (5) provided in the platform (3).
  • The indicated horizontal section (2) of the support comprises two pins, one front pin (6) and another rear pin (7), having play in respective slots (8 and 9) of the guide (10), the rear pin (7) being coupled in a vertical slot (11) provided in said horizontal section (2) of the support.
  • Said horizontal section and the guide (10) are covered with a cuff (12) having a slot on its upper face (13) through which protrudes the upper oblique section (14) of the support.
  • There are two supports (1 and 1') and they are arranged on either side of the platform (3) and a plate (15) is coupled between their oblique upper sections (14).
  • The plate (15) and the platform (3) will comprise thereon the coupling of plates (16 and 17) made of non-slip plastic material.
  • The podium will be completed with a base on which the platform (3) and the corresponding grips not depicted will be fixed.
  • To change the position of the supports (1) plate (15) will be held, raising it according to arrow (F) of Figure 2, whereby the protrusion (4) exits the opening (5) the supports (1) being free to move according to arrow F' along the platform (3) guided by the guides (10).
  • When the chosen position is obtained plate (15) will be dropped, which plate will be locked in its position by the protrusion (4) fitting into the corresponding opening (5).
  • Having sufficiently described the present invention in accordance with the drawings attached, it is easy to understand that any detail modifications which are deemed convenient may be introduced but that the invention is defined by the appended claims.
