Definitions

  • the invention relates to inflatable sports equipment, preferably for water sports, with a board that can be inflated with air or a similar gaseous medium by means of a compressor.
  • Known sports equipment designed as boards are used, for example, as stand-up paddles with a length of up to 5 m. Due to this great length, it is more convenient for transporting the same if the pumped-in air can be let out at the board and the board is collapsible. With conventional boards of this type, this is done either by hand with a suitable air pump or mechanically with an external compressor. This is relatively cumbersome and time-consuming and tiring when inflating by hand.
  • WO 2016/099406 A1 is a drive train that manages locomotion on water and is equipped with a built-in compressor unit. The complete system is inserted into the opening provided for this purpose.
  • the housing (19) of the compressor unit is glued into the board (1) and the removable compressor unit (6) can be inserted into or removed from the glued-in housing (19) with little effort.
  • WO 2014/164522 A1 It is a watercraft for a completely different purpose, in a hard version, fitted with a propulsion motor in the rear, which has no connection whatsoever to the integrated compressor in this case, since the watercraft is intended for a completely different use. It is equipped with a powerful engine and is used for surfing.
  • the main difference between the present application and WO 2016/175709 is to allow the air to flow through the fitting (26), thereby relieving the pressure in the housing.
  • the new patent allows for easy installation and removal of the removable compressor unit (6) while in the application WO 2016/175709 the compressor unit is fully glued into the board when installed. A simple exchange is therefore not possible.
  • the opening (17) is designed without pressure.
  • the bottom part of the opening (17) is closed off by a glued-in plate (20), which is also provided as a holding means for the keel (23).
  • the invention is based on the object of avoiding these disadvantages and creating a piece of sports equipment of the type mentioned at the outset that can be easily inflated anywhere and offers the possibility of doing this automatically to achieve a specific inflation pressure.
  • the inflation of the board can be carried out anywhere at any time during the use of the board since the necessary means for this are built into the board itself. And it is also possible to control the compressor automatically in such a way that it automatically ensures that the desired degree of inflation is maintained.
  • the compressor together with the units required for automated operation, forms a pump unit that is installed in a housing that can be removed from the board.
  • the pump unit can be removed en bloc from the board for external inflation of other sports equipment or for overhaul or repair purposes thereof.
  • the pump unit In order to control the inflation pressure in the board, the pump unit according to the invention is provided with an inlet and outlet valve arranged in the housing, which supplies or discharges compressed air to or from the inside of the board either manually or automatically.
  • the invention also provides that the inlet and outlet valve of the pump is provided with an actuating element mounted in an easily accessible manner on the cover, with which the pumping action can be controlled without removing the cover
  • the pump unit can be provided with a pressure controller which, in conjunction with a preferably adjustable pressure regulator, automatically controls the function of the compressor and/or the inlet and outlet valves of the pump unit.
  • the invention provides that the board is provided with a support box, preferably made of plastic material, which accommodates the housing of the pump unit in a form-fitting manner.
  • Inflatable boards of the type mentioned at the outset generally contain at least one wall lying between an upper and a lower outer wall with an inflatable air chamber which, when inflated, defines the outer shape and consistency of the board.
  • the outer wall and the inner walls of the board are usually made of foil-like plastic materials.
  • the invention provides that in the interior of the board there is a free opening extending continuously between the two outer walls for receiving the support box for the housing of the pump unit, the latter preferably being made of plastic material and when installed is glued or welded into the upper outer wall and/or the wall of the board.
  • the carrying case and the housing of the pump unit are dimensioned such that the cover of the housing is flush with the upper outer wall of the board when installed.
  • the invention also provides that the opening for receiving the support box is closed off at the lower end by a support plate with a recess for receiving a box girder for a keel, the support plate preferably also being made of plastic material and, when installed, in the lower outer wall and /or the inner wall of the board is glued or welded.
  • the invention provides that the inlet and outlet valve of the pump unit is provided with a mouthpiece that protrudes into the air chamber of the wall, which can be connected on the one hand to the support box for the pump unit and on the other hand to the wall in an airtight manner is welded or glued to the wall.
  • the inflatable sports equipment according to Figures 1 to 3 consists essentially of a board 1, which contains a wall 4a, 4b lying between an upper and a lower outer wall 2 or 3, the air chamber 5 of which can be inflated by means of a pump unit 6 and defines the outer shape of the board in the inflated state.
  • the outer walls 2, 3 as well as the wall 4, 4b are made of foil-like plastic material.
  • Such an inflatable piece of sports equipment is also suitable, for example, for winter sports, which can be driven on snow or ice in a known manner, similar to a sled.
  • the pump unit 6 is integrated in the board 1 according to the invention. It consists of a compressor 7 and, for its automatic operation, essentially an electric motor 8 for driving the compressor, an in 3 battery, not visible, for feeding the motor, and a gearbox 9 for converting the rotation of the motor into a linear movement of the piston 10 of the compressor.
  • the pump unit 1 also contains a manually operable inlet and outlet valve 11, with which the supply and discharge of compressed air from the compressor 7 to and from the air chamber 5 of the wall 4a, 4b is controlled.
  • the pump unit 6 is housed in a housing 12 made of plastic material which can be removed from the board 1 . This enables the pump unit to be removed en bloc, for example for the purpose of inspection, repair or maintenance of the unit.
  • the housing 12 is removable with a Lid 13 covered from plastic material. To hold the cover in place, it is provided with nubs 14 which can be snapped into corresponding bores 15 in the housing 12 .
  • a support box 16 that accommodates the housing 12 in a form-fitting manner, as shown in FIG 4 can be seen, which is also made of plastic material. This is accommodated in the board 1 in a continuously extending free opening 17 between the outer walls 2 and 3 .
  • the support box 16 has an outer flange 19 reinforced with brackets 18, which is welded or glued into the upper outer wall 2 and/or the inner wall 4a, 4b for attachment.
  • the support box 16 and the housing 12 are dimensioned such that the cover 13 of the housing is largely flush with the upper outer wall 2 when installed. This has fluidic advantages. However, for other reasons, such as those specific to a sport, the support box can be arranged so that it protrudes from the outer wall of the board.
  • this support box 16 which has an upper opening, in the board 1 makes it possible for the pump unit 6 to be removed after the board has been inflated in order to reduce the weight or to create free space, and the sports equipment can be loaded on the water either with an empty Carrying box or the latter filled with utensils, such as drinks, bath towels, wallet or the like, can slide.
  • this carrying case could also be closed with a removable cover, which is not shown in detail, so that no water can penetrate into it.
  • the opening 17 is at the lower end through a support plate 20 with a recess 21 for receiving a box girder 22 for the keel 23 (fin) closed.
  • the support plate 20 is welded or glued into the lower outer wall 3 and/or the wall 4a, 4b. It and the box girder 22 are also made of plastic material. Plastic webs 24 are arranged between it and the support box 16 for the pump unit 6 .
  • the inlet and outlet valve 11 is provided with a cover 13 mounted in an easily accessible actuator 25, with which the pump and / or valve function is controlled manually.
  • This inlet and outlet valve 11 is not explained in any more detail.
  • its actuating member 25 can advantageously be opened or closed by turning it: it can be used to open a non-return valve which would otherwise prevent the medium from being discharged from the chamber 5 .
  • the pump unit 6 can also be provided with an air pressure control which, in cooperation with a preferably adjustable pressure regulator, automatically controls the pump and/or valve function.
  • the inlet and outlet valve 11 is assigned a mouthpiece 26 which protrudes into the air chamber 5 of the wall 4a, 4b and which can be connected on the one hand to the support box 16 for the pump unit 6 and on the other hand has a collar 27 which is welded or glued airtight onto the wall of the wall 4b.
  • the pump unit 6 is arranged in the rear of the board 1, because this is advantageous for boards with a keel, such as stand-up paddle boards.
  • the arrangement can vary depending on the type of sports equipment within the board.
  • the pump unit can also be placed in the middle of the board, for example.
  • the arrangement of an automatically working pump unit in the inflatable sports device allows the device to be inflated at any time, regardless of the location and without complex handling. While the pump unit inflates the board, the user can do other activities. And it also makes it possible to vary the inflation pressure and to keep it constant automatically while using the sports equipment.
  • the arrangement of the pump unit according to the invention also facilitates inspection and maintenance of the unit, either in situ after removing the cover 13 or in the workshop after dismantling the pump unit either en bloc or in its individual components.
  • the upper and lower outer walls 2, 3 are connected by webs distributed over the entire surface in the form of thread-like, transversely continuous connecting elements, which have such a length that these connecting elements allow a limited opening of the board and thus a defined thickness of the board in the cause inflated condition.
  • the distance between the outer walls is additionally limited by its connection to the support plate 20 fastened to the outer wall 3 on the bottom side.
  • the pump unit could consist of a pump that works differently, for example! a rotary piston pump, a gear pump or the like.
  • the pump could also be designed in such a way that it can be actuated manually if necessary.
  • the pump unit could also be contained directly in a housing which is connected to the upper and lower outer walls and would not be removable.
