Description

[Detailed description of the invention]

[0001]

[Technical field to which the invention belongs]

 The present invention relates to a free climbing artificial wall device provided with a clue or a foothold for climbing on a wall surface.

[0002]

[Prior art]

 There is a sport called bouldering, which is practiced to practice rock climbing, especially free climbing, or to enjoy the climbing action itself. ing. Conventional artificial walls are often provided as a part of the wall of a building, or are placed outdoors in concrete, and are difficult to move. Some of them can move the position of the convex and concave parts, but the wall itself is constant, so that there is a problem that the use for beginners is limited to those for higher technology.

[0003]

[Problems to be solved by the invention]

 The present invention has been made in view of the above points, and an object of the present invention is to provide a free-climbing artificial wall with mobility and to be able to enjoy a wide range from beginners to veterans.

[0004]

[Means for Solving the Problems]

 In order to solve the above-mentioned problems, the present invention provides a movable base for providing stability in the installation of an artificial wall, the above-mentioned artificial wall arranged to stand on the base, and the artificial wall as a base. An artificial wall device for free climbing is constituted by an inclination mechanism for adjusting the inclination.

[0005]

[Embodiment of the invention]

 The artificial wall device for free climbing according to the present invention is provided with clues and steps for climbing the wall surface.

[0006] The wall surface refers to the wall surface of the artificial wall. The artificial wall according to the present invention has a plate-like or thin box-like structure, at least one surface of which is a wall for climbing. Clues and holds for climbing can be formed by fixing a massive member that is grasped with hands or fingertips to the wall surface or by providing a concave portion on the wall surface, and they can also serve as footholds at the same time.

[0007] A base is prepared to stand and arrange the artificial wall as described above. The base is a stand prepared for the purpose of stably installing the artificial wall. However, the base can be moved at the same time, so that the artificial wall for free climbing of the present invention has portability or mobility. The base has legs or a board-shaped portion for obtaining stability, and a column-shaped or vertical frame-shaped portion for arranging the artificial wall so as to stand.

The artificial wall is attached to the base such that the inclination can be adjusted. For this purpose, the artificial wall is attached to the base via a tilting mechanism. The slope can be adjusted between plus some forward slopes and minus some reverse slopes with respect to the vertical wall.

The tilting mechanism includes a pivot portion for rotatably supporting the artificial wall, and a guide provided in an arc shape on the base along the trajectory of the artificial wall, rotating around a pivot of the pivot portion. And a fixing part on the artificial wall side for coupling to the guide part. The guide portion can be constituted by a continuous arc-shaped band member or the like, but can also be constituted by arranging a plurality of members in an arc shape.

[0010] A portion for connecting a rope for securing a player (climber) can be provided at the upper end of the artificial wall. The so-called belay can be removed, so safety is enhanced.

[0011]

【Example】

 Hereinafter, the present invention will be described more specifically with reference to the drawings. FIG. 1 shows the entirety of the apparatus of the present invention. In the illustrated device, the artificial wall 11 has a plate-like structure in which a wall 13 made of a fixed-size FRP panel is laid on a wall frame 12 vertically and horizontally. A massive member is appropriately provided as a clue or hold 14 for climbing.

The term “suitably” refers to a size, position, or number that is considered appropriate according to the player's skill level. The clues and footholds 14 can be made of FRP, and are attached to the surface of the wall 13 by using fasteners such as bolts and nuts or by fixing means 15 such as bonding. See FIG. 2 and FIG.

The base 16 is provided with a horizontal plate-shaped portion 17 for improving stability in order to arrange the artificial wall 11 so as to be set up, and a vertical frame-shaped portion 18 erected thereon. A floor 19 for a player is provided on the horizontal disk-shaped portion 17. Casters and other wheels are provided as moving means 20 on the base 16 to facilitate movement. The moving means 20 may be of a fixed type, a retractable type or a detachable type.

An artificial wall 11 is attached to a middle position of the vertical frame portion 18 in the middle of the base 16 via an inclination mechanism 21. In order to allow the artificial wall 11 to be tilted in a range of several directions in the vertical direction, the artificial wall 11 is disposed between two columns, and the artificial wall 11 is supported by a shaft support 24 having a support shaft 22 and a bearing 23. Is supported. See FIG. The shaft fulcrum position may be at the upper end or the lower end in addition to the intermediate position shown in the figure.

Further, an arc-shaped guide portion 25 is provided on the base 16 along a trajectory of a certain point of the artificial wall 11 rotating about a pivot point. The illustrated guide portion 25 has an arc shape disposed on both sides of an intersection with a perpendicular passing through a shaft fulcrum, and a plurality of holes as positioning means 26 along the arc are provided at required intervals. A fixing portion 27 on the artificial wall side coupled to the guide portion 25 has a slide portion overlapping the hole, and the fixing portion 27 and the positioning means 26 are fixed by a fixing member 28 such as a pin. See FIG.

A shaft-like member is provided on the upper side of the artificial wall 11 as a portion 29 for connecting a rope for the player's safety.

Therefore, the inclination angle of the artificial wall 11 is changed by the inclination mechanism 21 to set the target inclination, and the present invention device is used. For this purpose, the positioning means 26 is removed, the fixing portion 27 of the artificial wall 11 is adjusted to an appropriate position of the guide portion 25, and the mounting is performed again.

[0018]

[Effect of the invention]

 Since the present invention is constructed and operates as described above, the artificial wall for free climbing can be moved, and the inclination of the wall can be adjusted, so that it can be enjoyed widely from beginners to veterans.
