Abstract

1300198 Starting blocks JUNGHANS GmbH GEB 19 April 1971 [28 Jan 1970] 20056/71 Heading A6D A slotted rail 21 carrying starting blocks 40 is suspended, e.g. by springs 15, from a support rail 10 secured at 10a, 10b to a running track so that the rail 21 is resiliently longitudinally displaceable and at least partially surrounds the support rail 10. A stop, e.g. an adjustable eccentric 28, limits the displacement and a contact 17, 18 is actuable by such displacement to provide a signal indicating that a runner has started to move. The slotted rail 21 may completely enclose the support rail 10 or may be U-shaped in cross-section opening either upwardly or downwardly and its resilience is provided by an adjustable spring and stop arrangement 23, 26. A loudspeaker for providing a "start" signal may be sited on either the rails or the starting blocks. Electric leads 29 for the loudspeaker and contact 17 are carried through the hollow support rail 10. The blocks 40 have one or two pins for engagement in the slots 22 and an angle piece 37 for engagement over the edge of the rail 21. The angle of the abutment 33, which may be of plastics, for the feet of a runner is adjustable by a pin and rack arrangement 35, 36.
