Description

Die Erfindung betrifft eine Bandenanordnung zur Abgrenzung eines Sportfeldes, insbesondere einer Eislauf- oder Eishockeyfläche, oder eines Spielfeldes für Ballspiele, wobei die Bandenanordnung aus Bandenelementen zusammengesetzt ist, die an der dem Sport- oder Spielfeld zugewandten Innenseite eine Bandenwand haben.The invention relates to a barrier arrangement for delimiting a sports field, in particular an ice skating or ice hockey surface, or a playing field for ball games, the barrier arrangement being composed of barrier elements which have a barrier wall on the inside facing the sports field or playing field.

Auf einer Eisfläche prallen Schlitschuhläufer häufig auf die Bande auf, was insbesondere bei einem Eishockeyspiel sehr oft der Fall ist, wobei die Sportler sehr oft mit großer Wucht auf die Bande aufprallen. Dies ist mit einer erheblichen Verletzungsgefahr für die betreffenden Personen verbunden. Dies trifft beispielsweise auch für ein Hallenfußballspiel zu, bei dem das Spielfeld ebenfalls durch eine Bande begrenzt ist, die bei einer starren Ausbildung Verletzungen an einer aufprallenden Person verursachen kann.On an ice rink, skaters often hit the boards, which is very often the case, particularly in an ice hockey game, where the athletes very often hit the boards with great force. This is associated with a significant risk of injury for the persons concerned. This also applies, for example, to an indoor soccer game in which the playing field is also delimited by a gang which, if designed rigidly, can cause injuries to an impacting person.

Der vorliegenden Erfindung liegt die Aufgabe zugrunde, eine Bandenanordnung der betrachteten Art anzugeben, bei der die Verletzungsgefahr für eine auf die Bande aufprallende Person signifikant verringert ist.The present invention is based on the object of specifying a gang arrangement of the type under consideration, in which the risk of injury for a person impacting the gang is significantly reduced.

Diese Aufgabe wird erfindungsgemäß durch die Merkmale des Patentanspruchs 1 gelöst.According to the invention, this object is achieved by the features of patent claim 1 .

Vorteilhafte Ausgestaltungen der Erfindung sind in den Unteransprüchen gekennzeichnet.Advantageous developments of the invention are characterized in the dependent claims.

Die Erfindung sieht vor, dass die Bandenelemente der Bandenanordnung beweglich miteinander verbunden sind und ohne an dem Boden befestigt zu sein, lose auf den Boden aufgestellt sind. An der Außenseite der Bandenelemente, also auf der von dem Sport- oder Spielfeld abgewandten Seite, sind im Abstand von den Bandenelementen Seile mit Spannvorrichtung gespannt, wobei die Seile in Längsrichtung der Bandenelemente verlaufen und von am Boden befestigten Stützen gehalten sind. Die Bandenelemente haben von ihrer Rückseite abstehende starre Halter mit Seilführungelementen, durch die die Seile verlaufen, so dass sich die Bandenelemente elastisch an den Seilen abstützen. Die Seilführungselemente können mit vorstehenden Gewindespindeln versehen sein, die in Innengewinde der Halter eingeschraubt sind, womit die gesamte Länge vom Halter mit Seilführungselement einstellbar ist.The invention provides that the band elements of the band arrangement are movably connected to one another and are placed loosely on the ground without being attached to the ground. On the outside of the band elements, i.e. on the side facing away from the sports or playing field, ropes with tensioning devices are stretched at a distance from the band elements, the ropes running in the longitudinal direction of the band elements and being held by supports attached to the ground. The gang elements have rigid holders protruding from their rear side with rope guide elements through which the ropes run, so that the gang elements are supported elastically on the ropes. The cable guide elements can be provided with protruding threaded spindles which are screwed into internal threads of the holder, with which the entire length of the holder with the cable guide element can be adjusted.

Wenn bei dieser erfindungsgemäßen Ausbildung der Bande eine Person, beispielsweise ein Eishockeyspieler, mit voller Wucht auf die Bande aufprallt, werden wenigstens zwei Bandenelemente nach außen geschoben, wobei die Aufprallenergie auf wenigstens ein durch eine Spannvorrichtung gespanntes Seil übertragen wird, und zwar über von der Rückseite der Bandenelemente abstehende starre Halter, die mit Seilführungselementen in Eingriff mit dem wenigstens einen gespannten Seil stehen. Dabei können auch mehr benachbarte Bandenelemente nach außen verschoben werden, die beweglich miteinander verbunden sind. Durch die Elastizität des gespannten Seiles oder der gespannten Seile federn die Bandenlemente umgehend in ihre ursprüngliche Lage zurück. Damit wird die Aufprallwucht elastisch abgefedert, so dass die Verletzungsgefahr für eine betroffene Person signifikant verringert ist.If a person, for example an ice hockey player, hits the gang with full force in this design of the gang according to the invention, at least two gang elements are pushed outwards, with the impact energy being transmitted to at least one rope stretched by a tensioning device, namely from the rear the band elements protruding rigid holders, which are in engagement with cable guide elements with the at least one tensioned cable. It can also be more adjacent Band elements are moved outwards, which are movably connected to each other. Due to the elasticity of the tensioned rope or ropes, the band elements immediately spring back into their original position. The force of the impact is thus elastically cushioned, so that the risk of injury for an affected person is significantly reduced.

Des weiteren sieht die Erfindung vor, dass jeweils mehrere Bandenelemente zu Bandenabschnitten miteinander verbunden sind, hinter denen jeweils wenigstens ein Seil, vorzugsweise ein oberes und ein unteres Seil, gespannt ist/sind. Diese Bandenabschnitte erstrecken sich vorzugsweise zwischen den zu öffnenden Toren in der Bande, durch die Spieler z.B. auf die Eisfläche gelangen oder die Eisfläche verlassen. Im Falle einer Eishockeybande ist zudem ein großes schwenkbares Tor für eine Eisbearbeitungsmaschine vorgesehen. Die aus einer Vielzahl von Bandenelementen verbundenen Bandenabschnitte erstecken sich vorzugsweise von Tor zu Tor.Furthermore, the invention provides that several band elements are connected to each other to form band sections, behind which at least one rope, preferably an upper and a lower rope, is/are stretched. These rink sections preferably extend between the openable gates in the rink through which players, for example, enter or leave the ice surface. In the case of an ice hockey board, a large swiveling gate for an ice resurfacing machine is also provided. The band sections, which are connected from a large number of band elements, preferably extend from gate to gate.

Die Bandenelemente haben Rahmen, die vorzugsweise aus Stahl oder Aluminium bestehen. Die Rahmen haben an ihren seitlichen Rändern vertikale Holme, und diese vertikalen Holme benachbarter Bandenelemente sind über Gasdruckfedern drehbar miteinander verbunden. Hierzu wird mit großem Vorteil vorgeschlagen, dass die vertikalen Randholme im Horizontalschnitt abwechselnd konkav und konvex gekrümmt sind, wobei benachbarte Rahmenholme formschlüssig ineinander eingreifen, so dass die benachbarten Bandenelemente gegeneinander verdrehbar sind, wobei sie durch die Gasdruckfedern miteinander verspannt sind. Die konkave und konvexe Krümmung verläuft vorzugsweise kreisbogenförmig. Die Banden-elemente sind damit nicht in starrer Ausrichtung miteinander verbunden, sondern in einem durch die Gasdruckelemente einstellbaren Maße miteinander verspannt, so dass sie beschränkt gegeneinander verdrehbar sind, wenn ein Aufprall auf die Band erfolgt.The band elements have frames that are preferably made of steel or aluminum. The frames have vertical bars on their lateral edges, and these vertical bars of adjacent band elements are rotatably connected to one another via gas pressure springs. To this end, it is proposed with great advantage that the vertical edge bars are alternately curved concavely and convexly in the horizontal section, with adjacent frame bars engaging in one another in a form-fitting manner, so that the adjacent band elements can be twisted against one another, being braced with one another by the gas pressure springs. The concave and convex curvature preferably runs in the form of a circular arc. The band elements are therefore not connected to one another in a rigid alignment, but are braced together to an extent that can be adjusted by the gas pressure elements, so that they can be twisted against one another to a limited extent if the band is hit.

Die Bandenelemente sind lose auf den Boden aufgestellt, ohne an dem Boden befestigt zu sein. Dies hat zur Folge, dass die Bandenelemente bei einem Aufprall in vertikaler Lage nach außen verschiebbar sind, wobei diese Bewegung durch die Spannseile beschränkt und abgefedert wird. Die Bandenelemente können dabei auf streifenförmigen Kunststoffplatten z.B. aus PE stehen, wobei die Bande vorzugsweise um bis zu 20 cm nach außen verschiebbar ist. Dieser Bewegungsbereich der Bandenelemente ist durch die Spannvorrichtungen der Seile einstellbar. Die Bandenelemente können aber auch auf Kugellager aufgestellt sein, um einen Aufprall abzufedern.The gang elements are placed loosely on the ground without being attached to the ground. As a result, the band elements can be moved outwards in a vertical position in the event of an impact, with this movement being limited and cushioned by the tensioning cables. The band elements can stand on strip-shaped plastic plates, e.g. made of PE, whereby the band can preferably be pushed outwards by up to 20 cm. This range of movement of the band elements can be adjusted by the tensioning devices of the ropes. However, the band elements can also be set up on ball bearings in order to cushion an impact.

In weiterer Ausgestaltung der Erfindung wird vorgeschlagen, dass an wenigstens einem Endbereich jedes Bandenabschnitts eine Stütze mit wenigstens einer Spannvorrichtung angeordnet ist. Bevorzugt ist jedoch, dass an beiden Endbereichen jedes Bandenabschnitts Stützen mit den Spannvorrichtungen angeordnet sind, zwischen denen die zugehörigen Seile gespannt sind.In a further embodiment of the invention, it is proposed that a support with at least one tensioning device be arranged on at least one end region of each band section. However, it is preferred that supports with the tensioning devices are arranged on both end regions of each band section, between which the associated cables are tensioned.

Als Spannvorrichtung werden pneumatische Kolben/Zylindervorrichtungen bevorzugt, an deren Kolbenstange das zugehörige Seil befestigt ist. Dabei ist mit großem Vorteil vorgesehen, dass der Druck der Kolben/Zylindervorrichtung einstellbar ist, so dass die Federkraft der Seile verstellbar ist. Damit kann die erfindungsgemäße Bande härter oder weicher eingestellt werden, je nachdem wie groß die Aufprallenergie ist, die von den Spannseilen abgefedert werden soll. Bei einem Eishockeyspiel von Erwachsenen kann die Bande damit erheblich härter eingestellt werden als bei einer Eislauffläche, auf denen kleine und große Schlittschuhläufer ihre Kreise drehen.Pneumatic piston/cylinder devices are preferred as the tensioning device, on the piston rod of which the associated cable is attached. It is provided with great advantage that the pressure of the piston/cylinder device can be adjusted, so that the spring force of the cables can be adjusted. Thus, the band according to the invention can be set harder or softer, depending on the magnitude of the impact energy that is to be cushioned by the tensioning cables. In an adult ice hockey game, the boards can be set considerably harder than on an ice rink on which small and large skaters spin their circles.

Die zu öffnenden Tore in der Bande sind jeweils durch ein Scharnier an einem angrenzenden Bandenabschnitt befestigt. Der das Tor schwenkbar haltende vertikale Randholm des Bandenabschnitts muss in vertikaler Lage fixiert sein, damit das Tor in aufrechter Lage auf und zu verschwenkt werden kann. Hierzu wird mit großem Vorteil vorgeschlagen, dass an jedem Tor im Bereich des Scharniers, das das Tor mit einem Endabschnitt eines zugehörigen Bandenabschnitts verbindet, eine zusätzliche Stütze angeordnet ist, die am Boden befestigt ist und eine obere und eine untere Kolben/Zylinderanordnung trägt, deren Kolbenstangen mit dem vertikalen Randsteg des Bandenabschnitts verbunden sind und den Randsteg mit einstellbarem Druck nach innen in Richtung der Spielfläche drückt. Wenn das Tor geöffnet werden soll, wird zuvor der auf die Kolbenstange einwirkende Druck erhöht, so dass der Endbereich des Bandenabschnitts starr in aufrechter Lage gehalten ist, so dass das aufschwenkende Tor keine Kippbewegung des Bandenabschnitts mit einer einhergehenden Schräglage des Tors hervorrufen kann. Beim Öffnen des Tors ist somit der Bandenabschnitt starr und unbeweglich gehalten. Wenn das Tor wieder geschlossen ist und der Spielbetrieb fortgesetzt wird, wird der Kolbendruck so verringert, dass der Endabschnitt des Bandenabschnitts bei einem Aufprall auf die Bande ebenso nachgiebig reagiert wie der übrige Bandenabschnitt, so dass auch bei einem Aufprall im Bereich eines Tores die Verletzungsgefahr wie in den übrigen Bandenbereichen signifikant verringert ist. Die beiden Kolben/Zylinderanordnungen sind an der Stütze im rechten Winkel zu Bandenebene angeordnet, so dass die Kolbenstangen seitlich im 90° Winkel auf den vertikalen Randholm des Bandenrahmens auftreffen.The openable gates in the gang are each attached by a hinge to an adjacent gang section. The vertical edge beam of the band section holding the gate so that it can pivot must be fixed in the vertical position so that the gate can be pivoted open and closed in an upright position. For this purpose, it is proposed with great advantage that on each gate in the area of the hinge, which the gate with an end portion of an associated cushion section, an additional support is arranged which is fixed to the floor and carries an upper and a lower piston/cylinder assembly, the piston rods of which are connected to the vertical edge web of the cushion section and presses the edge web inwards towards the playing surface with adjustable pressure. If the gate is to be opened, the pressure acting on the piston rod is increased beforehand, so that the end area of the board section is held rigidly in an upright position, so that the swinging gate cannot cause a tilting movement of the board section with an associated tilting of the gate. When the gate is opened, the band section is thus held rigid and immovable. When the gate is closed again and play continues, the piston pressure is reduced so that the end section of the board section reacts just as flexibly as the rest of the board section in the event of an impact with the board, so that there is a risk of injury in the event of an impact in the area of a goal is significantly reduced in the remaining band areas. The two piston/cylinder assemblies are arranged on the support at right angles to the board plane, so that the piston rods hit the vertical edge beam of the board frame at a 90° angle.

An den Rahmen der Bandenelemente ist die Bandenwand in Form einer Platte befestigt, die vorzugsweise aus PE oder PC besteht, ohne dass die Erfindung hierauf beschränkt ist.The gang wall is fastened to the frame of the gang elements in the form of a plate, which preferably consists of PE or PC, without the invention being restricted thereto.

Figur 1 zeigt einen aus sieben Bandenelementen 1 zusammengesetzten Bandenabschnitt 2. Die Bandenelemente 1 sind an ihren seitlichen vertikalen Randstegen 3 drehbar miteinander verbunden und bestehen jeweils aus einem vorzugsweise metallischen Rahmen 4, an dem an der einem Sportfeld oder Spielfeld zugewandten Seite jeweils eine Platte 5 beispielsweise aus PE befestigt ist. Die Bandenelemente 1 stehen auf dem Boden auf, ohne an diesem befestigt zu sein. figure 1 shows a barrier section 2 composed of seven barrier elements 1. The barrier elements 1 are rotatably connected to one another at their lateral vertical edge webs 3 and each consist of a preferably metallic frame 4, on which a plate 5, for example made of PE, is attached on the side facing a sports field or playing field is attached. The band elements 1 stand on the ground without being attached to it.

Im Abstand hinter den Bandenelementen ist jeweils eine vertikale Stütze 6 angeordnet, die am Boden befestigt ist, indem eine zugehörige Auflagerplatte 7 mit dem Untergrund beispielsweise verschraubt ist. Die Stützen 6 halten zwei horizontal entlang des Bandenabschnitts 2 verlaufende Seile 8, 9, die durch die Stützen 6 in deren oberen Bereich und unteren Bereich hindurch geführt sind. Die Seile 8, 9 sind an den beiden Endbereichen des Bandenabschnitts 2 mit pneumatischen Kolben/Zylindervorrichtungen 10 verbunden, an deren Kolbenstangen die Seile 8, 9 befestigt sind. Die Kolben/Zylindervorrichtungen 10 sind mit einstellbarem Druck beaufschlagbar, so dass die Seile 8, 9 mit einstellbaren Federkräften spannbar sind.A vertical support 6 is arranged at a distance behind the band elements and is fastened to the ground by an associated bearing plate 7 being screwed to the ground, for example. The supports 6 hold two cables 8, 9 running horizontally along the band section 2, which are passed through the supports 6 in their upper area and lower area. The ropes 8, 9 are connected at the two end regions of the band section 2 to pneumatic piston/cylinder devices 10, to the piston rods of which the ropes 8, 9 are fastened. The piston/cylinder devices 10 can be subjected to an adjustable pressure, so that the cables 8, 9 can be tensioned with adjustable spring forces.

Die Kolben/Zylindervorrichtungen 10 sind ebenfalls an vertikalen Stützen 11 befestigt, die am Boden befestigt sind.The piston/cylinder devices 10 are also fixed to vertical supports 11 fixed to the floor.

Von der Rückseite der Bandenelemente 1 stehen starre Halter 12 (Figur 7) ab, die an vertikalen Stegen 13 der Bandenelemente 1 befestigt sind und mit Seilführungselementen 14 versehen sind, durch die das obere Seil 8 und das untere Seil 9 verlaufen. Die Seile 8, 9 sind beweglich in den Seilführungselementen 14 geführt.Rigid holders 12 ( figure 7 ) from which are attached to vertical webs 13 of the band elements 1 and are provided with cable guide elements 14, through which the upper cable 8 and the lower rope 9 run. The cables 8, 9 are movably guided in the cable guide elements 14.

Wie oben bereits erwähnt, sind die Bandenelemente 1 drehbar miteinander verbunden. Hierzu sind die äußeren vertikalen Randstege 3 auf der einen Seite mit einer konkaven Nut versehen, während der vertikale Randsteg 3 der anderen Seite eine entsprechend gekrümmte konvexe Wölbung 16 aufweist. Die konvexe Wölbung 16 passt formschlüssig in die konkave Nut 15.As already mentioned above, the band elements 1 are rotatably connected to one another. For this purpose, the outer vertical edge webs 3 are provided with a concave groove on one side, while the vertical edge web 3 on the other side has a correspondingly curved convex curvature 16 . The convex curvature 16 fits positively into the concave groove 15.

Figur 5 zeigt, dass durch die zusammengesetzten Randstege 3 Verbindungselemente greifen. Hierbei handelt es sich um Gasdruckelemente 17, die in Figur 4 in stark vergrößertem Maßstab abgebildet sind. In dem Zylinder 18 befindet sich ein nicht zu sehender Kolben, dessen Kolbenstange 19 durch die Randstege 3 hindurchgeführt und an seinem Ende mit Schrauben 20 befestigt ist. Diese Gasdruckfedern 17 ermöglichen eine gedämpfte Drehbewegung zwischen benachbarten Bandenelementen 1. figure 5 shows that 3 connecting elements reach through the assembled edge webs. These are gas pressure elements 17, which are figure 4 are shown on a greatly enlarged scale. In the cylinder 18 there is a piston that cannot be seen, the piston rod 19 of which is passed through the edge webs 3 and is fastened with screws 20 at its end. These gas pressure springs 17 enable a damped rotational movement between adjacent band elements 1.

Figur 5 zeigt außerdem, dass am Ende des Bandenabschnitts ein schwenkbares Tor 21 angeordnet ist, das über Scharniere 22 an dem zugeordneten vertikalen Randsteg befestigt ist und in der Darstellung der Figur geöffnet ist, so dass beispielsweise Personen eine Eisfläche verlassen können. figure 5 also shows that at the end of the gang section there is a pivotable gate 21 which is attached to the associated vertical edge web via hinges 22 and is open in the representation of the figure, so that people can leave an ice surface, for example.

Bei geöffnetem Tor muss der in der Figur rechte vertikale Randsteg 3 starr in seiner vertikalen Lage fixiert sein, um das Tor 21 in seiner vertikalen Ausrichtung halten zu können. Hierzu sind zwei Kolben/Zylinderanordnungen 23 an einer weiteren vertikalen Stütze 24 angeordnet, deren Kolbenstangen 25 mit dem Randsteg 3 verbunden sind und diesen Randsteg 3 in Richtung des Spielfeldes beaufschlagen. Bevor das Tor 21 geöffnet wird, drücken die Kolben/Zylinderanordnungen 24 mit erhöhtem Druck in Richtung des Spielfelds, wodurch der Randsteg 3 starr fixiert ist. Wenn das Tor 21 geschlossen ist und der Spielbetrieb fortgesetzt werden soll, wird der Zylinderdruck erheblich gesenkt, so dass der Bereich des vertikalen Randstegs 3 ebenso wie die übrigen Bandenbereiche federnd nachgeben kann.When the gate is open, the vertical edge web 3 on the right in the figure must be rigidly fixed in its vertical position in order to be able to hold the gate 21 in its vertical alignment. For this purpose, two piston/cylinder assemblies 23 are arranged on a further vertical support 24, the piston rods 25 of which are connected to the edge web 3 and act on this edge web 3 in the direction of the playing field. Before the gate 21 is opened, the piston/cylinder assemblies 24 push in the direction of the pitch with increased pressure, as a result of which the edge web 3 is rigidly fixed. When gate 21 is closed and game play is to continue, the cylinder pressure is significantly reduced, so that the area of the vertical edge web 3, like the other band areas, can yield in a resilient manner.

Ein Eishockeyfeld ist nicht nur durch eine Bandenanordnung begrenzt, sondern auch mit hohen Schutzscheiben versehen, die die Zuschauer vor einem heranfliegenden Puck schützen. Bei der erfindungsgemäßen Bandenanordnung können die Glashalteständer 26 der meist aus Kunststoff bestehenden Schutzscheiben auf den Stützen 3 montiert sein, so dass die Elastizität der Bande nicht durch die schweren Schutzscheiben verringert wird. Die Glashalteständer können stattdessen aber auch an den Seilhalteelementen befestigt sein und damit mit der Bande mitgehen.An ice hockey field is not only limited by a rink arrangement, but also provided with high protective screens that protect the spectators from an approaching puck. In the case of the barrier arrangement according to the invention, the glass holding stands 26 of the protective panes, which are mostly made of plastic, can be mounted on the supports 3, so that the elasticity of the barrier is not reduced by the heavy protective panes. Instead, the glass holding stands can also be attached to the rope holding elements and thus go with the gang.

Die Bandenelemente 1 sind bevorzugt 1,50 m bis 2,50 m lang, und es können 20 bis 30 Bandenelemente zusammengesetzt werden, wobei auch eine kleinere und eine größere Anzahl im Rahmen der Erfindung liegt.The band elements 1 are preferably 1.50 m to 2.50 m long, and 20 to 30 band elements can be put together, with a smaller and a larger number also being within the scope of the invention.
