DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a ski competition gate, and more particularly to a ski competition gate in which a bunting is arranged between an in-pole and an out-pole.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Generally, in ski competitions, giant slalom (giant slalom) and gliding (b downhill) are performed.
In the competition, open gates and blind gates are arranged, and while giving instructions on the runway, they compete for time to run past the blind gates (gates).

[0003] Such a blind gate or the like is configured by disposing a bunting between an in-pole and an out-pole. Conventionally, a bunting is tied to a cotton cloth with these strings. It was stopped with tape or the like.

[0004]

However, in the conventional gates for ski competitions, a flag cloth is tied with a string,
A player (athlete) may rush into the blind gate during a skiing competition, or may rush into the bunting, failing to avoid the blind gate, because it is fixed with tape or the like.

[0005] When a player rushes into the brine gate in this way, if the bunting does not come off, the player may be caught on the line gate, which is dangerous. In addition, if the bunting comes off, it is necessary to immediately reattach it in order to make it ready for the next runner's run, but it is not easy to attach it with a string, etc., especially when working on snow. Therefore, there is a problem that the knotting operation cannot be easily performed, and the mounting cannot be performed reliably and quickly.

Accordingly, it is an object of the present invention to provide a ski competition gate that is easy to install and safe.

[0007]

In order to achieve the above object, the present invention provides a ski competition gate having a bunting attached between an in-pole and an out-pole, wherein the bunting has a bunting body. The flag cloth main body is provided with an impole engaging tool on one side of the bunting main body to be engaged with the impole, and the other side of the bunting main body is provided with an out engaging with the out pole on the other side. A pole engaging tool is provided, the impole engaging tool has a ring-shaped elastic engaging tool opened on the mountain side of the slope, and the out pole engaging tool is a ring opening on the mountain side of the slope. And a ring-shaped elastic engaging tool which is open to the valley side of the slope.

[0008]

According to the ski competition gate of the present invention, when a player accidentally rushes into a blind gate or the like, the impole engaging tool engaged with the impole is moved toward the mountain side by opening the engaging ring. Is formed, when the player rushes and an excessive force is applied, the engagement is disengaged and the player is not caught on the bunting.

Further, the detached flag cloth can be easily and quickly put back between the poles by fitting the impole engaging tool into the pole from the opening of the engaging ring and engaging the same. it can.

[0010]

Embodiments of the present invention will be described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

The ski competition gate according to the present embodiment is used as a blind gate 3 and an open gate 5 for a giant slalom as shown in FIG. 3, and as shown in FIG. 9 and a bunting 11 arranged between the poles 7 and 9.

The in-poles 7 are arranged inside the gliding course, and the out-poles 9 are arranged outside the gliding course.
It is placed at an interval of 5cm (open gate), and the distance from the top of the snow to the tip is about 1m50cm.

The flag cloth 11 is provided with a flag cloth body 12 formed in a substantially quadrangular shape, and on one side of the flag cloth body 12 on the side of the impole 7, impole engaging members 13 a and 13 b are provided. On the other side of the out pole 9, a pair of out pole engaging members 14a, 14b, 15a, 15b is provided.

The bunting body 12 is formed by knitting a synthetic resin, for example, resin fiber such as vinyl or nylon. By manufacturing the bunting body 12 from synthetic resin fibers in this way, it is possible to waterproof and prevent snow from accumulating. Further, by forming the bunting body 12 in a net shape, the resistance against the wind can be reduced, and the gate is prevented from falling down or leaning in a strong wind.

Each of the in-pole engaging members 13a, 13b and the out-pole engaging members 14a, 14b, 15a, 15b is the same engaging member, and differs only in the mounting direction. , 13b, 14a,
14b, 15a, 15b engaging tool body (elastic engaging tool) 1
9 has its base end 21 fixed to the bunting main body 12 by a clasp ring 17.

Each engaging member body 19 is made of a synthetic resin having elasticity, and its distal end portion 21 is formed in a substantially ring shape having an opening 23, and is slightly smaller than the diameter of the pole in a natural state. In a mounted state, the pole is usually pressed and mounted. And when installing on the pole,
When a force is applied, the size of the opening 23 is expanded against the elastic force.

[0017] Both of the impole engaging members 13a and 13b
It is fitted so that the opening 23 is located on the mountain side,
When an excessive force is applied from the mountain side where the player enters, the impole engaging members 13a and 13b come off the impole 7.

In the out pole 9, a pair of out pole engaging members 14a, 14b, 15a, and 15b are positioned so that the opening 23 faces each other on the peak side and the valley side. Even if a force is applied from one of the valley sides, they do not come off from each other.

Next, the operation of the present invention will be described.

When attaching the bunting 11 to the poles 7, 9, first, the out-pole engaging members 14a, 14b, 15
a and 15b are fitted into the out pole 9, in this case,
By simply pressing the opening 23 of the engagement tool body 19 against the out pole 9, the fitting can be easily fitted to the out pole 9. Next, the impole engaging device 13 is
a and 13b are fitted into each other, as in the case of the out pole engaging members 14a, 14b, 15a and 15b.
3 can be easily fitted simply by pressing it against the pole.

During a ski competition, a player mistakenly
When the gates 3 and 5 have entered, as shown by arrows in FIG. 2, when a player normally enters from the mountain side and force is applied to the bunting 11, the openings of the impole engaging tools 13a and 13b are opened. Since the part 23 is opened in the same direction, the impole engaging device 1
Only 3a and 13b come off. Therefore, there is no possibility that an athlete who accidentally enters is caught by the gate 3 and causes an accident.

Moreover, since only one side (mountain side) of the flag cloth 11 is disengaged from the pole, the disengaged impole engaging device 1 is removed.
Just press the 3a, 13b against the impole 7,
It can be easily and quickly restored to the original gate even on snow.

The present invention is not limited to the above-described embodiment, but can be variously modified without departing from the gist of the present invention.

For example, as shown in FIG. 4, a configuration may be adopted in which a regulating member 25 for maintaining the interval between these engaging members is provided between the impole engaging members 13a and 13b. By arranging the restricting member 25 in this manner, it is possible to prevent the positions of the impole engaging members 13a and 13b from shifting and the shape of the bunting 12 from being collapsed. Further, as shown in FIG. 5, the same effect can be obtained even if the regulating member 26 is formed integrally with the impole engaging members 13a and 13b.

Further, the in-pole engaging members 13a, 13b and the pair of out-pole engaging members 14a, 14b, 15a,
The number of 15b is not limited to the above-described embodiment, and three or four in-pole engaging tools are used, and three out-pole engaging tools are arranged such that openings are alternately arranged on the valley side and the peak side. May be a set.

Further, the in-pole engaging members 13a, 13b and the out-pole engaging members 14a, 14b, 15a, 15b
Is not limited to a synthetic resin, but may be a metal or the like as long as it has elasticity.

[0027]

According to the present invention, the ring-shaped elastic members of the impole engaging device provided on the bunting are open in the same direction, and the ring-shaped elastic members of the out-pole engaging device are connected to the valley side. Since it is arranged so that it opens to the mountain side, if a player accidentally rushes to the gate during a skiing competition, only the impole engaging device will be disengaged and the player will be caught on the bunting Also, the detached bunting can be easily and quickly installed simply by fitting the opening of the engagement ring into the pole.

Further, since the main body of the bunting is formed in a net shape, the resistance against the wind can be reduced, and the gate can be prevented from falling or leaning in a strong wind.
