[Detailed description of the invention]

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a skater protection device for an ice skating rink provided especially at a corner of a speed skating rink or the like to prevent the skater from jumping off the rink.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art An ice skating rink for speed skating has a course formed by straight portions and corner portions. When the skater glides on the straight section at a high speed, the skater enters the corner and is pushed out of the corner by centrifugal force. Therefore, the skater performs the cornering without deviating from the course even at the corner portion using the gliding technique, but the skater easily falls over even at a slight gliding error at the corner portion.

[0003] When the skater falls at the corner,
There is a risk that the vehicle will slide off the course due to the centrifugal force and fall off the link, and will jump out of the link, hit a fence or the like and become injured.

Therefore, in a speed skating rink, a skater protection device is provided along an outer peripheral side of the link at a corner portion. However, the conventional skater protection device has a structure in which a synthetic resin fence is erected, or a device in which cushion blocks and old tires are arranged inside the fence, and is specially designed for skater protection. Nothing was produced.

[0005]

As described above, the conventional skater protection means is such that the cushion block and old tires are arranged inside the fence, so that the skater falls down and the cushion block vigorously vibrates. In such a case, there is a case where the skater protection device is not sufficiently fulfilled as the skater protection device may be smashed over the fence and hit the fence or jumped over the fence and thrown out of the link.

The present invention has been made in view of the above-mentioned circumstances, and its purpose is to provide a relatively simple structure, sufficiently protect the skater, and to remove the skater during construction and non-use. An object of the present invention is to provide a skater protection device for an ice skating rink that can be easily performed.

[0007]

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION In order to achieve the above-mentioned object, at least at the corner of the ice skating rink, at least at the outer periphery of the course, the ice skating rink is detachably mounted to the base of the link. A support member comprising a pair of columns and a support bar provided between the columns is provided, and a protection member made of a thick cushioning material is provided on a side of the support member facing the link.

[0008]

The protective member is a thick cushioning material which is supported by the supporting member. The protective member can collide with the protective member even if the skater falls down at the corner and slides outside the course by centrifugal force. Thereby, the impact is reduced and the skater can be protected safely.

[0009]

An embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings. FIG. 2 is a plan view of an ice skating rink for speed skating. The link 1 is provided with a track-like course 4 including straight portions 2 and 2 and corner portions 3 and 3. A plurality of skater protection devices 5 are provided along the corner portion 3 on the outer peripheral side of the course 4 in the corner portion 3.

The skater protection device 5 will be described with reference to FIGS. That is, 6 is a support member. The support member 6 includes a pair of columns 7, 7 made of a metal pipe, for example.
The support bar 8 is formed in a substantially inverted U-shape by supporting bars 8, 8 made of, for example, metal pipes, which are installed between upper end portions 7.

On the other hand, the base 9 of the link 1 has sleeves 10, 1 corresponding to the distance between the columns 7, 7 of the support member 6.
0 is buried in a vertical state, an opening 11 is provided at an upper end of the sleeve 10, and an upper surface 9 of a base 9 is provided at an opening edge thereof.
A flange 12 flush with a is provided.

The opening 11 of the sleeve 10 is closed by a lid 13 with a chain. The support 13 is removed by removing the lid 13 and inserting the columns 7, 7 from the opening 11 into the sleeves 10, 10. The member 6 is erected on the base 9 so as to be detachable. In this case, approximately 1 /
2 is inserted into the sleeve 10 and the supporting member 6 is
The height L ₁ to the upper end of the is set to more than at least 40 cm.

On the side of the support member 6 facing the link 1, a protection member 14 supported by the support member 6 is provided. The protective member 14 is made of a flexible core material 15 such as styrofoam, an outer shell 16 made of an elastic material such as a thick urethane foam that covers the core material 15, and a vinylon canvas that encloses the outer shell 16. The cover 17 is strong, tough, and flexible.

Therefore, the protective member 14 is entirely formed of a cushioning material that absorbs shock, and has a structure in which even if the skater vigorously collides, the skater is not damaged by absorbing the shock.

The ice surface 20a of the link 1 of the protection member 14
The height L ₂ of from higher than the height of the support member 6, at least 60cm above, the thickness L ₃ of at least 50cm above the lower end portion, further thickness L ₄ of the upper end portion is formed at least more than 20cm I have.

The protective member 14 has a vertical surface 1
4a, the side facing the link 1 is formed as an inclined surface 14b which is inclined outward of the link 1 as going upward. Further, a front vertical surface 14c having a constant height is formed at the lower end of the inclined surface 14b. By forming the front surface of the protection member 14 on the inclined surface 14b, when the skater collides, the skater has an obtuse angle with respect to the direction of impact, the impact force is diffused and the impact is alleviated. The shock is alleviated in combination with the buffer action.

Fixing bands 18 are provided at four places on the back surface of the protection member 14 so that the protection member 14 can be detachably fixed to the support bar 8 of the support member 6. That is, the protection member 14 is installed on the side of the support member 6 erected on the base 9 of the link 1 facing the link 1 with its back surface in contact with the support member 6, and the fixing band 18 is provided.
Are fixed to the support bar 8 of the support member 6 by binding them.

Further, the upper surface 9a of the base 9 of the link 1
Is a presser bar 1 which comes into contact with the front vertical surface 14c of the protection member 14.
9 is provided, and a frozen layer 20 of the link 1 is formed inside the presser bar 19. Accordingly, the height _{L 2} of the protecting member 14 is at least 60cm from the ice surface 20a of the freezing layers 20
It is formed as described above.

Therefore, if the skater link 1 falls over at the corner portion 3 while sliding, even if the skater link 1 slides by the centrifugal force and collides with the protection member 14, the shock is absorbed by the cushioning action of the cushioning material. the height L ₂ of the protecting member 14 is formed above 60cm from the ice surface 20a of the freezing layers 20, never popping outside the link 1 skater exceeds fly protection member 14, to protect the skater Can be.

Further, by providing the protective device 5 having the above-described structure at the corner 3 of the link 1, the skater can be given a sense of security and the skater can concentrate on the competition.

In the above embodiment, the side of the protection member 14 facing the link 1 is formed on the inclined surface 14b, but may be formed on an arc surface. Further, although the support member 6 is configured by bending a metal pipe, the support member 6 may be configured by a metal rod or a wooden rod, and the material is not limited as long as the material can withstand an impact force. The support member 6
When the support 7 and the support bar 8 constituting metal are made of metal, it is desirable that the surface thereof is coated with a coating or a tube or the like to perform a rust-proof treatment.

[0022]

As described above, according to the present invention, the following effects can be obtained. If the skater falls down at the corner while sliding the link, it slides out of the link by centrifugal force while falling, but the impact force is absorbed by colliding with the protection member arranged on the outer peripheral side of the link, The damage to the skater can be reduced to almost zero. Therefore, the skater is never thrown out of the link, giving the skater a sense of security and allowing the skater to concentrate on the competition. In addition, since the support member and the protection member are detachable, they can be removed when not in use, and are structurally simple and can be provided at low cost.
