FR2626480A1 - CLIMBING MODULE WITH ORIENTABLE WALLS FOR THE CONSTITUTION OF A VARIABLE WALL GEOMETRICALLY - Google Patents

Abstract

The invention relates to a device allowing a significant modification of the wall formed. Addition or subtraction of following modules Tx, Ty and Tz formed of a structure (sub-assembly 1) of a support link axis (sub-assembly 3) and the following mobile climbing planes Rx, Rz and Ty (sub-assembly 2) allowing the wall to evolve in space according to 5 degrees of freedom. The sub-assembly 1 is a prismatic tubular structure in which the sub-assembly 3 consists mainly of a tube and a ball connecting the climbing plane (sub-assembly 2) with the structure. The ball joint provides the pivot connection, a cable system guides this connection in two simple rotations and the axis thanks to a screw-nut system allows the translation of the sub-assembly 2. The device according to the invention is particularly intended for climbing for sporting, educational and educational purposes.

  CLIMBING MODULE WITH PARLIAMENTARY ORIENTABLES LAYING THE

  CONSTITUTING A GEOMETRICALLY VARIABLE WALL

  The present invention relates to a sports, educational and

  teaching to practice climbing.

  Currently, there are types of rigid design climbing walls that do not allow to modify the shape of the lanes in order to diversify the difficulties. The device according to the invention overcomes this disadvantage. It is a module comprising: - on the one hand: a plane and prismatic climbing surface, this being completed by 2 other articulated planes respectively

  on the upper and lower part of this surface. -

  - On the other hand: a rigid structure, prismatic and removable, this structure can be positioned in the space vertically or horizontally, with the possibility of joining the

  structures to each other along the 3 mechanical axes.

  Finally these two paries are connected by an axis / patella system. With the axis, therefore, the plane climbing surface is brought closer to or away from the structure. Similarly, thanks to the patella, various inclinations are obtained along a vertical axis and

  horizontal. The combination of all these movements being possible.

  The use of several of these modules (described above) will form the climbing wall, flexible in space and the user

  will be able to modify the tracks at will.

  As can be seen in Figure 2 representing the explosion of the module. There are three main parts:

  The first subset defines the structure: (see Fig. 2 and 3).

  This is the module's structure. It is made essentially of tubular element (1) (2) (3) (4) (5) assembled, reported by screws, by cable and by the addition of parts (6) (7) (8) (9) obtained by conventional manufacturing operations

(cutting, welding, drilling ...).

  The modification of the dimensions of the walls is made -by

the accollemen. modules.

  Their positioning is given by the connection sleeves. They will reinforce the guidance and

  the assembly of one module relative to the other vertically as well.

  that horizontally (these sleeves are important for the constitution of the wall but does not concern the technical aspect of the module). Their holding in position is done by the tensioning of

  cables passing through the horizontal and vertical tubes.

  The ground connection is made by anchoring the vertical cables in

  studs embedded in concrete or other. See Fig. Nos. 1 and 2.

  In this structure (see Fig. 2), there are also 5 slides.

  In 4 of these slides slide 2 horlizontal plan supports (10). In the fifth central lax slide (16) supporting the panel (12) and allowing its transverse movement. 4 pulleys (19) mounted on swivel are fixed in the same plane and on each corner (5) through the intermediary of cadenae (see Fig No. 4). They direct the targets during the operation of the panel and maintain their tension in the final position of the climbing surface (12)

determined by the user.

  The 2nd subassembly (see Figs. N02 and 5) defines the climbing surfaces. They include 3 panels: - 1 vertical panel (12) on which come plugs allowing climbing (existing outlets in the trade). he

  is fixed by screws on the crosspieces of the piece (13).

  - 2 panels of smaller dimensions (1) articulated on the

  panel (12) rest on the two horizontal plane supports (10).

  - These panels are made of wood (waiting for the use

  of a more appropriate material) and made in carpentry.

  The 3rd subassembly (see Fig n ° 2 and 6) defines 2 large parts: - The 1st consists of tubes (4) (16>), patella (15) and parts (13) and (14) . They are made for turning, milling and drilling. It allows on the one hand the support of the panel (12). In addition, the patella gives the inclination movements of the climbing surface (12). It should be noted that the piece (14) has two different angularions maxinmaleE; horizontally 45 degrees and vertically

of 25 degrees

  - Part 2 consists of tubes (4) (16) and a

  screw-nut system (17) (22) (30) (1t8) (21) (27).

  These parts are made in turning, milling and drilling. The second part allows on the one hand the translation of the sub-assembly 2. On the other hand, the screw (17) allows the tensioning of the cables and therefore the

  maintaining the position of the subassembly 2.

  The device according to the invention is intended mainly for physical education and more particularly for the practice of leisure:

CLIMBING.

Claims (6)

  1) Sports equipment to pretend the escelade designed in the form of modules, and carectérisé by a subassembly prismatic structure 1 (see Fig. 2).   I ea) it is positioned horizontally or vertically.   lb) it allows the modulation of the wall follow the 3 exes mecanic: Tx, TU, Tz. (see Fig n ° 8) 2) To this structure are connected 3 plans to climb articulated between them. This connection-support is made: 2_) via a ball joint giving 2 inclinations   to the plans escelader according Rx, Rz (see Fig n8).   2b) through an exe that can pass through the   structure and offering Ty movement (see Fig. 8).   2c) the 3 motions Ty, Rx, Rz can be combined.   2d) it must be possible to obtain the immobilization of the panel whatever is position.   3) Apparatus salon revendicetion the) characterized in that the structure has a prismetic rectangle shape whose large dimension is equal to 6 2 times small dimension. This allows, for example, positioning-horizontally on 2 water modules positioned vertically (see Fig n.g).   4) Device according to claim 1b) carectérisé in that the prismetic rectengulaire structure offers the possibility to juxtapose or superimpose the modules together on each of the sides in the same way (see Fig No. 1 0)., 5) Device according to claim 2e) characterized in that the various inclinations are given by a ball offering mechanically 3 degrees of freedom Rx, Ry, Rz. The device deletes   by the presence of cables the rotation RU useless to the operation.   Indeed, the 2 cables each end of which is fixed respectively to the 4 ends of the crosspieces of the piece (13) (on which the main part (12 ")) slide in 2 ptulies fixed respectively to the two diagonally opposite corners of one of the sides of the structure, thus preventing rotation Ry and allowing maintenance in   position of the penneau once the cables stretched.   -5 - 6) Device according to claim 2b) characterized in that the transverse movement is given by the slide tube (16) supporting the ball and sliding in the tube (4) whose movement is controlled by the screw-nut system ( see Figs. 2 and 6). In addition, the screw-nut system allows under the action of the screw to push the subassembly 2 through the tube (16), in order to obtain the tension of the cables and thus the holding in position of the subassembly (2). 7) Device according to claim 2c) characterized in that the movements Tg, Rx, Rz can be combined: - Rx and Rz together, simply by manual pushing the pivoting panel on the ball joint, the cables ensuring the guiding movements in rotation.   - Similarly T and a rotational movement Rx or Rz are possible. but requires 2 separate actions; a manual push on   the panel and action on the screw, or vice versa.   6) Device according to claim 2d) characterized in that the screw-nut system also allows the clamping of the assembly. Under the action of the screw (17), the tube (16) pushes the panel (12) thus put the live cables.
