FR2970877A1 - Vertical support device for e.g. snowboard, has automatic locking element subsequently sliding on top vertical mast for fixing sliding board and allowing self-locking with sliding board - Google Patents

Abstract

The device has a base (1) comprising a recess (2), and a central base (3) introduced into a vertical mast (4). An automatic locking element (5) is in half-triangle shape, where the locking element subsequently slides on top of the vertical mast for fixing a sliding board e.g. snowboard, and allowing self-locking with the board. The locking element slides for fixing itself on the board. The base is designed in the form of a half surfboard.

Description

The present invention relates to a vertical device for supporting gliding board: surfing, snowboarding, wakeboarding, kiteboarding and skateboarding. This support makes it possible to highlight these elements and at the same time becomes an element of interior or exterior decoration, but also an ingenious storage object.

Exposing or storing a surfboard, snowboard, wakeboard, kiteboard and skateboard is not obvious. These boards are traditionally arranged horizontally, wall or stored in a closed place such as garage, cellar, carrying case.

The device according to the invention overcomes these disadvantages. It has indeed according to a first feature, a main base, horizontal, to be placed on a flat floor. At the front of this base, a hollow is designed to fix the foot of the board, serving as a foot wedge. In the middle of the base is fixed a vertical base, slightly inclined, where fits a mast. It will be inserted into the base to hold all kinds of boards in a vertical position. On this mast, a locking element with a notch of specific shape, dovetail or half-triangle, is fitted at the top of the mast and slide to block the board. Indeed, its half-triangle shape forms a natural lock, which makes it able to withstand heavy loads. The locking element is adjustable in height, sliding, to position and attach to the sides of the board. This device adapts to all dimensions and all types of boards (surfing, snowboarding, wakeboarding, kiteboarding and skateboarding).

The accompanying drawings illustrate the invention: FIG. 1 is a side view of the device of the invention. Figure 2 shows a top view, the base, the hollow and the base. Figure 3 shows a side view, the base, the hollow, the base and the mast. Figure 4 shows a top view of the locking element. Figure 5 shows in rear view, the locking element fixed on the mast. Figure 6 shows a front view, the locking element fixed on the board.

Referring to these drawings, the device comprises a base (1), the front portion is cut rectangularly on a small portion to form a recess (2), in order to position the foot of the board (8). A base (3) is fixed in the middle of the base (1) to be able to fit the mast (4) which will support the weight of the board (8). On this mast (4) is assembled a blocking element (5) shaped dovetail to retain and adjust all types of boards (8). This locking element (5) adjustable in height and sliding thanks to its central notch (6), automatically attaches to the sides of the board (8) thanks to its half-triangle shape (7).

The locking element (5), the mast (4) and the hollow (2) are the elements of this device that allow to block vertically the board (8). The base (1) serves as a stability element. s io ls 20 -2-

In the embodiment according to Figure 4, the specific form of the locking means (5), dovetail, that this assembly is probably the best way to adapt all boards gliding (8). Indeed, its half-triangle shape (7) forms a natural lock, which makes it able to support different loads.

According to a variant not illustrated, the mast can be divided into several parts to allow a simplified mode of transport.

By way of non-limiting example, this gliding board support device (surfing, snowboarding, wakeboarding, kiteboarding and skateboarding) will have dimensions of the order of 40 cm for the width, 80 cm for the length and 200 cm for the the height.

By way of non-limiting example, this gliding board support device is designed on a base (1) in the form of a half surfboard, but this base can be drawn in a different shape.

As a non-limiting example, this support device gliding board (surfing, snowboard, wakeboard, kiteboard and skateboard) is made of wood, but can be made of different materials such as plastic.

As a non-limiting example, this device is designed to support a surfboard, snowboard, wakeboard, kiteboard and skateboard. But it can also support other elements type guitars.

The device according to the invention is particularly intended for the exposure and support of all types of gliding board such as surfing, snowboarding, wakeboarding, kiteboarding and skateboarding.

Claims (5)

CLAIMS1) Vertical sliding board support device (8) (surf, snowboard, wakeboard, kiteboard and skateboard) characterized in that it comprises a base (1) having a recess (2) and a base (3) central, in which is introduced a mast (4), where an automatic locking element (5) in the form of a half-triangle and sliding fits later on the top of the mast (4) to secure the board forming a natural lock. 2) Device according to claim 1 characterized in that the locking element (5) is adjustable in height and sliding in order to be attached to the board (8), thanks to its central notch which is fitted by the top of the mast (4). io 3) Device according to any one of the preceding claims characterized in that the recess (2) of the base is rectangular and can be adapted to all boards (8). 4) Device according to any of the preceding claims characterized in that the axis of the base (3) fixed on the base is slightly inclined to support different weights. 5) Device according to any of the preceding claims characterized in that the base (1) is designed in the form of a half surfboard.
