Claims (24)

In a device for attaching a fin plug to a surfing tool,
A fin plug having a cavity in which a tab extended to the fin is fitted, a plurality of outriggers extending on the outer periphery, and an adjustment jig which is joined to the lower surface of the surfing tool and forms an opening having a plurality of cuts Have
The opening has an outer shape substantially corresponding to the outer periphery of the fin plug, and the plurality of cuts substantially correspond to the plurality of outriggers,
The opening guides cutting means for cutting and forming the mounting cavity in the lower surface of the surfing tool so that the outer shape of the mounting cavity substantially corresponds to the outer periphery of the fin plug;
A mounting device for positioning a plurality of outriggers on a lower surface of a surfing tool so that the plurality of cuts can easily insert a fin plug at a predetermined depth and direction into the mounting cavity of the surfing tool.   The apparatus of claim 1, wherein the fin plug has at least three outriggers.   The apparatus according to claim 1 or 2, wherein a flange is extended upward from the outer periphery of the fin plug, and a plurality of outriggers are extended on the flange.   The apparatus of claim 3, wherein the flange and the plurality of outriggers are removable.   The apparatus of claim 4, wherein the flange and the plurality of outriggers can be removed by a paper finishing process.   6. The apparatus of claim 5, wherein the conditioning jig comprises a material that can be removed by a paper finishing process.   7. An apparatus according to any preceding claim, wherein the adjustment jig has a predetermined thickness within the opening that can hold a curable material that secures the fin plug in the mounting cavity.   A plurality of outriggers are positioned and oriented in the fin plug from the outer surface of the fin plug so that a cavity for fitting the tab is formed and the outer surface of the fin plug is substantially flush with the lower surface of the surfing equipment in a given direction. The apparatus of any one of Claims 1-6 which sets.   9. A device according to any one of the preceding claims, wherein the fin plug has a fixing means for removably fixing the fin tab within the cavity of the fin plug.   The apparatus according to claim 9, wherein the fixing means has a set screw provided in the fin plug, and the set screw is selectively brought into contact with the fin tab to prevent the fin tab from protruding from the cavity.   The apparatus according to any one of claims 1 to 10, wherein the adjusting jig has a release layer, and the adhesive surface that peels the release layer and joins it to the lower surface of the surfing tool is exposed.   12. An apparatus according to any one of the preceding claims, wherein the adjustment jig forms two or more openings and a plurality of cuts are formed from each opening. In an adjustment jig intended for the device according to claim 1,
The first layer,
There is an adhesive layer provided between the first layer and the second layer so that the second layer and the second layer can be peeled to expose the adhesive layer that joins the first layer to the surfing equipment. And
A fin having a plurality of outriggers provided in the central portion of at least the first layer and the adhesive layer with openings extending therethrough, a plurality of notches corresponding to the plurality of outriggers of the fin plug formed in the openings; An adjustment jig characterized in that the plug contacts the first layer, the outrigger is placed on the surface of the surfing tool, and the fin plug is positioned in a predetermined direction in the surfing tool.   14. An adjustment jig according to claim 13, wherein the opening guides cutting means for forming a mounting cavity in the surfing tool, the outer shape of the mounting cavity substantially corresponding to the outer shape of the opening.   15. The adjustment jig according to claim 13 or 14, wherein the first layer is made of a material that can be removed by paper finishing.   The adjustment jig according to any one of claims 13 to 15, wherein the first layer further holds a curable material for fixing the fin plug in the surfing tool in the opening.   The adjustment jig according to any one of claims 13 to 16, wherein two or more openings penetrate the layer. In the method of attaching the fin plug to the surfing equipment,
Positioning an adjustment jig having a through opening and having a plurality of cuts in the opening on the lower surface of the surfing tool;
Forming an attachment cavity in the surfing tool, the outer shape substantially corresponding to the outer shape of the opening;
Positioning a fin plug having a plurality of outriggers extending on the outer periphery in a mounting cavity;
Positioning the fin plug outrigger in the notch,
A mounting method comprising: filling the mounting cavity with resin; and removing the adjustment jig and the outrigger of the fin plug.   The method of claim 18, further comprising fitting dummy fins to the fin plug.   20. A method according to claim 18 or 19, further comprising the step of inserting an adjustable amount of putty into the notch to adjust the angle of vertices of the fin plug.   The method according to any one of claims 18 to 20, wherein the opening and the cut are formed in advance.   The method according to any one of claims 18 to 21, further comprising a step of removing the material protruding from the mounting cavity to form another gap for filling with resin.   24. The method of claim 22, wherein the additional gap is formed substantially to the surface of the upper surface of the surfing equipment.   The method according to any one of claims 18 to 23, wherein the adjustment jig is the adjustment jig according to any one of claims 13 to 17.
