Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a connecting device for connecting at least two floating bodies next to one another, in particular at least two stand-up paddle boards.
  • Stand-up paddling also known as stand-up paddling
  • SUP Stand-up paddling
  • stand-up paddling is a water sport in which an athlete stands upright on a floatable board, the so-called stand-up paddle board, and paddles with a paddle.
  • stand-up paddle boards are becoming increasingly popular as water sports equipment. So far, the stand-up paddle boards are mainly used by one person on the water. With large volume stand up paddle boards, the volume of one board can be enough to carry several people. The more weight a stand up paddle board has to carry and especially the more people move on the stand up paddle board at the same time, the more unstable the board is on the water.
  • stand-up paddle boards can also be found, for example, which provide a large volume and a relatively wide contact surface in order to counteract this disadvantage.
  • a connecting device for connecting at least two floating bodies, in particular at least two stand-up paddle boards, next to one another.
  • the connecting device includes a linkage, which has at least one rod, and a plurality of fastening means, which are arranged on the at least one rod of the linkage.
  • at least some of the plurality of fastening means are provided so that they can be displaced axially along the axis of the at least one rod of the linkage, adapted to the respective geometry of the at least two floating bodies, in such a way that each floating body is positioned between at least two fastening means on the at least one rod of the linkage can be clamped in a stable position.
  • One idea on which the present invention is based is to provide a modularly constructed connection option in order to connect several floating bodies to one another in such a way that a new type of water sport device is created.
  • a compact and simple handling of the present invention in the non-assembled state also plays a role here, so that the connecting device is easy to transport or to stow away in a space-saving manner.
  • the linkage can preferably be made of light metals, in particular aluminum, plastics or combinations thereof, as well as alloys or composite materials of the materials mentioned.
  • the choice of material for the linkage is not limited to this and can also include metals or wood.
  • the at least one rod of the linkage is not limited to a specific cross-section, but the cross-section of the at least one rod can be round, polygonal, oval or a combination thereof, as well as any full profile, hollow profile or semi-open profile.
  • the at least one rod of the linkage can be designed as a MiniTec profile, as a Bosch profile or as a comparable profile.
  • the at least one rod can have different cross sections in sections, in order to have a specific cross section in predetermined sections, which is only compatible with fastening means or other components designed for this specific cross section.
  • the assembly of the plurality of fastening means or other components on the at least one rod of the linkage can be facilitated and, in particular, incorrect assembly arrangements can be reduced.
  • the at least one rod can also have pictorial and/or textual dimensions, which also support, for example, the symmetrical structure of the connecting device.

  • the at least some of the plurality of fasteners can be displaced axially along the axis of the at least one rod, in that the at least some of the plurality of fasteners either partially surround the at least one rod or engage in the rod profile, for example using undercuts, depending on the rod profile.
  • the majority of the fastening means can also be designed to be lockable on the at least one rod according to the rod profile, so that at least some of the plurality of fastening means are fixed axially if necessary.
  • Positionally stable within the meaning of the present invention means that the at least two floating bodies essentially retain their position relative to one another, in particular their distance from one another and their alignment with respect to one another, and in relation to the connecting device, even under the action of forces and/or moments, and only slight elastic deformations or deviations can occur.
  • retaining clips are provided on some of the plurality of fastening means for positively and/or non-positively clasping the respective floating body. Consequently the respective floating bodies can be clamped more easily in the connecting device, with a greater variety of geometries of the floating bodies also being able to be clamped.
  • the retaining clips are essentially curved and/or skewed and pivotable about a transverse axis of the at least one rod of the linkage. In this way, the retaining clips can be better adapted to the contour of the floating body and consequently the positional stability of the at least two floating bodies can be optimized in the clamped state with the connecting device.
  • At least two of the plurality of fastening means have a bridging beam connecting the at least two of the plurality of fastening means for positively and non-positively enclosing the respective floating body.
  • the respective floating body can be clamped in the connecting device in a particularly stable position, since at least two of the plurality of fastening means are coupled to one another and thus the load on the at least two of the plurality of fastening means can also be supported by the clamping via the bridging beam.
  • the bridging beam is coupled to the at least two of the plurality of fastening means in such a way that the linkage, in interaction with the at least two of the plurality of fastening means and the bridging beam, encloses one of the at least two floating bodies in one axis.
  • a higher clamping effect can thus be achieved over a larger contact area between the fastening means, the bridging beam, the linkage and the floating bodies.
  • this will The risk of the floating body slipping out of the jam is reduced by completely enclosing the floating body in one axis.
  • the majority of fastening means in the contact area with the at least two floating bodies have materials for mechanical protection of the at least two floating bodies from damage, preferably foam, plastic or textiles, are curved or round at least in sections, i.e. without edges, and/or take on insert elements for mechanical protection of the at least two floating bodies from damage, preferably made of foam, plastic or textiles.
  • the wear or damage to the at least two floating bodies can thus be reduced, which does not reduce the value of the at least two floating bodies or protects the floating bodies from destruction.

  • some of the plurality of fasteners can be axially fixed in the section of the external thread with little material expenditure and steplessly relative to the at least one rod.
