- the first coupling means of the avalanche probe may be formed as one of inner and outer threads and the second Coupling means may be formed as the other of internal and external threads.
- a coupling of two avalanche probes by screwing together represents in this context a particularly safe and simple connection of both avalanche probes.

Description
Die vorliegende Erfindung betrifft eine Lawinensonde, umfassend einen Spitzenabschnitt mit einer Spitze, einen Griffabschnitt mit einem Handgriff und einen zwischen dem Spitzenabschnitt und dem Griffabschnitt als länglicher Körper ausgebildeten Rohrabschnitt. Ferner betrifft die Erfindung ein Verfahren zur Montage einer solchen Lawinensonde.The present invention relates to an avalanche probe comprising a tip portion having a tip, a handle portion having a handle, and a pipe portion formed between the tip portion and the handle portion as an elongate body. Furthermore, the invention relates to a method for mounting such an avalanche probe.
Lawinensonden werden zur Ortung verschütteter Opfer in einem Lawinenkegel eingesetzt. Sie dienen hauptsächlich zur Feinortung des Opfers, d. h. mit der Sonde lässt sich die Lage und insbesondere die genaue Verschüttungstiefe des Opfers feststellen. Dabei wird die Lawinensonde senkrecht in den Schnee gesteckt, bis der Untergrund, der Körper des verschütteten Lawinenopfers oder die Sondenlänge erreicht ist. Die Sondenlänge ist somit vor allem bei Lawinenabgängen mit großen Schneemassen und demzufolge großen Verschüttungstiefen der Lawinenopfer ein begrenzender Faktor bei der Suche derselben. Die Länge herkömmlicher Sonden von meist zwei bis drei Metern reicht oftmals nicht aus, um das gesuchte Lawinenopfer zu erreichen.Avalanche probes are used to locate spilled victims in an avalanche cone. They are mainly used to fine-locate the victim, d. H. With the probe, the location and in particular the exact burial depth of the victim can be determined. The avalanche probe is inserted vertically into the snow until the background, the body of the buried avalanche victim or the probe length is reached. The probe length is thus a limiting factor in the search of the same, above all for avalanches with large amounts of snow and consequently large burial depths of avalanche victims. The length of conventional probes, usually two to three meters, is often insufficient to reach the avalanche victim sought.
Bekannte Lawinensonden sind aus mehreren, zusammenfügbaren, insbesondere verschraubbaren Segmenten aufgebaut, welche sich beispielsweise in einem Rucksack einfach verstauen lassen und durch weitere, mitzuführende Sondensegmente beliebig erweiterbar sind.Known avalanche probes are composed of several, joinable, in particular screwed segments, which can be easily stowed, for example, in a backpack and are freely expandable by further, to be supplied probe segments.
Ein Nachteil dieser bekannten Lawinensonden liegt zum einen darin, dass das Zusammenfügen, insbesondere Zusammenschrauben, vieler Sondensegmente zeitaufwendig ist, die Suche nach verschütteten Lawinenopfern jedoch sehr schnell erfolgen muss. Zum anderen sind relativ viele Sondensegmente, beispielsweise im Rucksack, mitzuführen, jedoch ist es vorteilhaft für Wintersportler, möglichst wenig Gewicht mitzuführen. Auch das Packmaß bzw. der Stauraum eines Rucksacks ist begrenzt.A disadvantage of these known avalanche probes is, on the one hand, that the assembly, in particular screwing together, of many probe segments is time-consuming, but the search for buried avalanche victims must be carried out very quickly. For another are relative carry many probe segments, for example in a backpack, but it is advantageous for winter sports, to carry as little weight. Also, the pack size or the storage space of a backpack is limited.
Vor diesem Hintergrund ist es Aufgabe der vorliegenden Erfindung, ein Lawinensondensystem bereitzustellen, welches eine Suche von Lawinenverschütteten unter großen Schneemassen ermöglicht, welches gleichzeitig ein niedriges Gewicht aufweist und wenig Stauraum benötigt.Against this background, it is an object of the present invention to provide an avalanche probe system which enables a search of avalanche victims under large snow masses, which at the same time has a low weight and requires little storage space.
Die Erfindungsaufgabe wird gelöst durch eine Lawinensonde, umfassend einen Spitzenabschnitt mit einer Spitze, einem Griffabschnitt mit einem Handgriff und einem zwischen dem Spitzenabschnitt und dem Griffabschnitt als länglicher Körper ausgebildeten Rohrabschnitt, wobei die Lawinensonde an dem spitzenseitigen Ende erste Kopplungsmittel und an ihrem griffseitigen Ende zweite Kopplungsmittel umfasst, wobei die ersten und die zweiten Kopplungsmittel komplementär zueinander ausgebildet sind.The object of the invention is achieved by an avalanche probe comprising a tip section with a point, a handle section with a handle and a tube section formed between the tip section and the handle section as an elongated body, the avalanche probe having first coupling means at the tip end and second coupling means at its handle end comprising, wherein the first and the second coupling means are formed complementary to each other.
"Komplementär" bedeutet hier, dass die ersten Kopplungsmittel einer ersten Lawinensonde mit den zweiten Kopplungsmitteln einer zweiten Lawinensonde koppelbar sind oder umgekehrt. Durch diese Ausgestaltung der Lawinensonde ist es möglich, dass im Falle einer Suche nach verschütteten Lawinenopfern zwei Lawinensonden der oben beschriebenen Art, beispielsweise von zwei an der Suche beteiligten Personen, schnell und einfach aneinandergefügt werden können. Somit wird die bei der Suche zur Verfügung stehende Lawinensondenlänge verdoppelt, ohne dass eine einzelne Person zusätzliche Lawinensondensegmente mitzuführen hat, welche einerseits höheres mitzuführendes Gewicht und andererseits größeren benötigten Stauraum, beispielsweise im Rucksack, des an einer Suche nach Lawinenverschütteten beteiligten Wintersportlers bedeuten."Complementary" here means that the first coupling means of a first avalanche probe can be coupled to the second coupling means of a second avalanche probe or vice versa. With this design of the avalanche probe, it is possible that in the case of a search for buried avalanche victims, two avalanche probes of the type described above, for example of two persons involved in the search, can be joined together quickly and easily. Thus, the avalanche probe length available in the search is doubled without a single person having to carry additional avalanche probe segments which on the one hand mean greater weight to carry and, on the other hand, greater storage space required, for example in the backpack, of the winter athlete involved in a search for avalanche victims.
Vorzugsweise ist die Lawinensonde aus einer Mehrzahl hohler, zusammenfügbarer Sondensegmente aufgebaut, was ebenfalls dazu beiträgt, die Lawinensonde auf ein kompaktes Packmaß reduzieren zu können.Preferably, the avalanche probe is constructed from a plurality of hollow, joinable probe segments, which also helps to reduce the avalanche probe to a compact pack size.
Als besonders vorteilhaft wird eine Lawinensonde angesehen, welche ein in dem Inneren der Sondensegmente verlaufendes Verbindungsseil umfasst, dessen eines Ende mit einem aus Spitzen- und Griffabschnitt der Lawinensonde verbunden ist und dessen anderes Ende mit einer an dem anderen aus Spitzen- und Griffabschnitt angeordneten Spannvorrichtung zum Spannen und Fixieren des Verbindungsseils verbunden ist, wobei die Sondensegmente in einem ungespannten Zustand des Verbindungsseils zueinander beweglich sind und in einem gespannten Zustand des Verbindungsseils koaxial zusammengefügt aneinander gehalten werden und wobei das Vebindungsseil in dem gespannten Zustand durch die Spannvorrichtung fixierbar ist. Durch diese Ausgestaltung wird ein selbsttätiges Ineinanderschieben der Sondensegmente an ihren Enden gewährleistet, da sie sich bei einem Zug an der Spannvorrichtung übereinander schieben durch das Fixieren des Verbindungsseils in dieser übereinander geschobenen Position bleiben. Damit ist der Zusammenbau einer einzelnen Lawinensonde besonders einfach und schnell möglich und die einzelnen Sondensegmente werden durch das Verbindungsseil auch in einem nicht gespannten Zustand beweglich aneinandergehalten, ohne dass der Verlust eines einzelnen Sondensegments auftreten kann.Particularly advantageous an avalanche probe is considered, which comprises a running in the interior of the probe segments connecting cable, whose one end is connected to a tip and handle portion of the avalanche probe and the other end with a arranged on the other of tip and handle portion clamping device for Clamping and fixing the connecting cable is connected, wherein the probe segments in an untensioned state of the connecting cable are mutually movable and coaxially together in a tensioned state of the connecting cable are held together and wherein the connecting cable is fixed in the tensioned state by the clamping device. By this configuration, an automatic telescoping of the probe segments is ensured at their ends, as they slide over each other in a train on the tensioning device by fixing the connecting cable remain in this superimposed position. Thus, the assembly of a single avalanche probe is particularly simple and fast possible and the individual probe segments are held together by the connecting cable in a non-tensioned state movable without the loss of a single probe segment can occur.
Ferner kann die Lawinensonde so aufgebaut sein, dass die ersten Kopplungsmittel den Rohrabschnitt der Lawinensonde mit der Spitze verbinden. Die Spitze kann von der Lawinensonde entkoppelbar sein und die ersten Kopplungsmittel können verdeckt von der Spitze angeordnet sein, sodass die ersten Kopplungsmittel zugänglich sind, wenn die Spitze von der Lawinensonde entkoppelt ist. Dadurch können durch Entkoppeln der Lawinensondenspitze von der Lawinensonde die ersten Kopplungsmittel freigelegt werden und eine Kopplung mit einer weiteren Lawinensonde wird ermöglicht.Further, the avalanche probe may be constructed such that the first coupling means connect the avalanche tube section to the tip. The tip may be decoupled from the avalanche probe and the first coupling means may be concealed from the tip so that the first coupling means are accessible when the tip is decoupled from the avalanche probe. Thus, by decoupling the avalanche probe tip from the avalanche probe, the first coupling means can be exposed and coupling with another avalanche probe is made possible.
Außerdem kann die Lawinensonde so aufgebaut sein, dass die zweiten Kopplungsmittel den Rohrabschnitt der Lawinensonde mit dem Handgriff verbinden. Der Handgriff kann von der Lawinensonde entkoppelbar sein und die zweiten Kopplungsmittel können verdeckt von dem Handgriff angeordnet sein, sodass die zweiten Kopplungsmittel zugänglich sind, wenn der Handgriff von der Lawinensonde entkoppelt ist. Dadurch können durch Entkoppeln des Handgriffs von der Lawinensonde die zweiten Kopplungsmittel freigelegt werden und eine Kopplung der zweiten Kopplungsmittel mit ersten Kopplungsmitteln an dem Spitzenabschnitt einer zweiten Lawinensonde wird ermöglicht.In addition, the avalanche probe may be constructed so that the second coupling means connect the avalanche tube section to the handle. The handle may be decoupled from the avalanche probe and the second coupling means may be concealed from the handle so that the second coupling means are accessible when the handle is decoupled from the avalanche probe. Thereby, by decoupling the handle from the avalanche probe, the second coupling means can be exposed and a coupling of the second coupling means with first coupling means at the tip portion of a second avalanche probe is made possible.
Alternativ können die ersten Kopplungsmittel an der Spitze vorgesehen sein und zugänglich sein, ohne dass die Spitze von der Lawinensonde entkoppelt ist. Bei dieser vorteilhaften Ausgestaltung entfällt das Entkoppeln der zumeist relativ kleinen Lawinensondenspitze. Beispielsweise kann ein Außengewinde direkt auf die Spitze der Lawinensonde geschnitten sein, welches mit einem entsprechenden am Griffabschnitt einer zweiten Lawinensonde bereitgestellten Innengewinde komplementär ist. Insbesondere bei kalten Temperaturen erleichtert diese Ausgestaltung das Zusammenfügen zweier Lawinensonden, da z. B. mit kalten Fingern das Entkoppeln der Lawinensondenspitze kompliziert und zeitaufwendig sein kann.Alternatively, the first coupling means may be provided at the tip and be accessible without the tip being decoupled from the avalanche probe. In this advantageous embodiment, the decoupling of the usually relatively small avalanche probe tip is eliminated. For example, an external thread may be cut directly onto the tip of the avalanche probe, which is complementary to a corresponding internal thread provided on the grip portion of a second avalanche probe. In particular, at cold temperatures, this embodiment facilitates the assembly of two avalanche probes because z. B. with cold fingers, the decoupling of the avalanche probe tip can be complicated and time consuming.
Gemäß einer weiteren Ausführungsform der vorliegenden Erfindung können die zweiten Kopplungsmittel an dem Handgriff vorgesehen sein und zugänglich sein, ohne dass der Handgriff von der Lawinensonde entkoppelt ist. Somit entfällt das Entkoppeln des Handgriffs bei der Montage mit einer zweiten Lawinensonde. Auch dies bringt eine Zeitersparnis in einem Lawinennotfall mit sich.According to another embodiment of the present invention, the second coupling means may be provided on the handle and accessible without the handle being decoupled from the avalanche probe. This eliminates the decoupling of the handle during assembly with a second avalanche probe. This also saves time in an avalanche emergency.
Vorzugsweise können die ersten Kopplungsmittel der Lawinensonde als eines aus Innen- und Außengewinde ausgebildet sein und die zweiten Kopplungsmittel als das andere aus Innen- und Außengewinde ausgebildet sein. Eine Kopplung zweier Lawinensonden mittels Zusammenschrauben stellt in diesem Zusammenhang eine besonders sichere und einfache Verbindung beider Lawinensonden dar.Preferably, the first coupling means of the avalanche probe may be formed as one of inner and outer threads and the second Coupling means may be formed as the other of internal and external threads. A coupling of two avalanche probes by screwing together represents in this context a particularly safe and simple connection of both avalanche probes.
Die vorliegende Erfindung betrifft nach einem weiteren Gesichtspunkt ferner ein Verfahren zur Montage einer Lawinensonde, umfassend eine erste Lawinensonde und eine zweite Lawinensonde, wobei der Spitzenabschnitt der ersten Lawinensonde mit dem Griffabschnitt der zweiten Lawinensonde fest montiert wird oder umgekehrt, sodass die Rohrabschnitte der ersten und zweiten Lawinensonde koaxial verlaufen. Durch dieses Verfahren wird gewährleistet, dass bei einer Suche nach von Lawinen verschütteten Personen zwei Lawinensonden der oben beschriebenen Art, beispielsweise von zwei an der Suche beteiligten Personen, schnell und einfach aneinandergefügt werden können. Somit wird wiederum die bei der Suche zur Verfügung stehende Lawinensondenlänge verdoppelt, ohne dass eine einzelne Person zusätzliche Lawinensondensegmente mitzuführen hat, welche einerseits höheres mitzuführendes Gewicht und andererseits größeren benötigten Stauraum, beispielsweise im Rucksack, des an einer Suche nach Lawinenverschütteten beteiligten Wintersportlers bedeuten. Mit oben beschriebener Montage ist es somit theoretisch möglich, eine unbegrenzte Anzahl an Lawinensonden solcher Art zu koppeln.The present invention further relates, in a further aspect, to a method of assembling an avalanche probe comprising a first avalanche probe and a second avalanche probe, wherein the tip portion of the first avalanche probe is fixedly secured to the handle portion of the second avalanche probe, or vice versa, such that the tube portions of the first and second avalanche probes Avalanche probe coaxial. This method ensures that when avalanche victims are searched for, two avalanche probes of the type described above, for example of two persons involved in the search, can be quickly and easily joined together. Thus, in turn, the avalanche probe length available in the search is doubled without a single person having to carry additional avalanche probe segments which on the one hand mean greater weight to carry and, on the other, greater storage space required, for example in the backpack, of the winter athlete involved in a search for avalanche victims. With the assembly described above, it is thus theoretically possible to couple an unlimited number of avalanche probes of this type.

Eine Lawinensonde 10 gemäß einem Ausführungsbeispiel der vorliegenden Erfindung umfasst einen Spitzenabschnitt 12 mit einer Spitze 14, einen Griffabschnitt 16 mit einem Handgriff 18 und einen zwischen dem Spitzenabschnitt 12 und dem Griffabschnitt 16 als länglicher Körper ausgebildeten Rohrabschnitt 20. Die Lawinensonde weist an ihrem spitzenseitigen Ende erste Kopplungsmittel 22 und an ihrem griffseitigen Ende zweite Kopplungsmittel 24 auf, welche komplementär zueinander ausgebildet sind. Dabei dient die Spitze 14 beispielsweise dazu, dass die Sonde einfacher in den Schnee eindringen kann und durch den Handgriff 18 kann die erforderliche Kraft, um die Spitze 14 der Lawinensonde 10 in den Schnee zu treiben, besser in den Rohrabschnitt 20 und in die Spitze 14 der Lawinensonde 10 eingeleitet werden.An
Die Lawinensonde 10 kann aus einer Mehrzahl hohler Sondensegmente 30 aufgebaut sein, welche beispielsweise durch Ineinanderstecken, Verschrauben etc. zusammengefügt werden können.The
Besonders vorteilhaft sind diese Sondensegmente 30 ineinandersteckbar ausgebildet und durch ein nicht gezeigtes Verbindungsseil miteinander verbunden, welches in dem Inneren der Segmente 30 verläuft, an einem Ende der Lawinensonde 10 fest mit einem der Sondensegmente 30 verbunden ist und an einem anderen Ende mit einer nicht gezeigten Spannvorrichtung verbunden ist, mittels welcher das Seil gespannt und in einem gespannten Zustand fixiert werden kann. Bei einem Zug an der Spannvorrichtung schieben sich die Sondensegmente selbsttätig übereinander und bilden koaxial zueinander den Rohrabschnitt 20. Durch das Fixieren des Verbindungsseils in diesem Zustand bleiben die Sondensegmente 30 in dieser Position. Die Spannvorrichtung kann zum Beispiel so ausgebildet sein, dass ein endseitiges Sondensegment, welches entweder an dem spitzenseitigen Ende oder an dem griffseitigen Ende bereitgestellt ist, einen kleineren Durchmesser aufweist als zumindest das angrenzende Sondensegment, sich in einem ungespannten Zustand des Verbindungsseils relativ weit innerhalb dieses angrenzenden Sondensegments befindet und bei einem Zug an dem Seil aus dem anderen Sondensegment herausgezogen wird. Durch die Vergrößerung der Lawinensondenlänge kann so das Verbindungsseil gespannt und die Lawinensondensegmente 30 können koaxial zueinander verbunden werden. Durch eine Rastvorrichtung kann die Spannvorrichtung in der gespannten Stellung fixiert werden.Particularly advantageously, these
Zur Montage des oben beschriebenen Verbindungsseils kann das erste Kopplungsmittel 22 direkt an das Innengewinde 28 koaxial anschließend eine Bohrung 32 aufweisen, deren Durchmesser kleiner ist als der des Innengewindes 28, und kann ferner an die Bohrung 32 koaxial anschließend eine Bohrung 34 aufweisen, deren Durchmesser wiederum kleiner ist als der der Bohrung 32. Das oben beschriebene Verbindungsseil kann bei entkoppelter Sondenspitze 14 durch das Innengewinde 28 sowie die Bohrungen 32 und 34 in das Innere des Rohrabschnitts 20 der Lawinensonde 10 eingeführt werden und vorteilhaft durch eine Verdickung, in einer besonders einfachen Variante einem Knoten im Seil, welche größer ist als der Durchmesser der Bohrung 34, an dem Übergang 36 der Bohrung 32 zur Bohrung 34 fixiert werden.To mount the above-described connecting cable, the first coupling means 22 may have coaxial directly with the
In ähnlicher Weise ist an dem in den
Alternativ kann das Verbindungsseil aber auch in anderer geeigneter Weise an dem Spitzenabschnitt 12 oder dem daran angrenzenden Rohrabschnitt 20 beziehungsweise an dem Griffabschnitt 16 oder an dem daran angrenzenden Rohrabschnitt 20 befestigt sein, beispielsweise durch eine Klebeverbindung, eine Klemmverbindung oder eine Hakenverbindung.Alternatively, however, the connecting cable may also be fastened in another suitable manner to the
Das direkt an der Spitze 114 bereitgestellte erste Kopplungsmittel 122, welches insbesondere durch ein auf die Spitze 114 geschnittenes Außengewinde gebildet ist, ist mit einem in

Es ist anzumerken, dass sich die Erfindung nicht auf die beschriebenen Ausführungsbeispiele beschränkt. So ist beispielsweise auch denkbar, dass sowohl eine Lawinensondenspitze als auch ein Griff einer Lawinensonde bei einer Montage zweier baugleicher Lawinensonden an dem jeweiligen Spitzen-und Griffabschnitt verbleiben können. Auch andere Kombinationen oder Ausgestaltungen sind denkbar.It should be noted that the invention is not limited to the described embodiments. Thus, for example, it is also conceivable that both an avalanche probe tip and a handle of an avalanche probe can remain on the respective tip and grip section when mounting two identical avalanche probes. Other combinations or configurations are conceivable.
