次に本発明を、図面に示した実施例によってなおいくらか詳細に説明する。The invention will now be explained in more detail by means of exemplary embodiments shown in the drawings, in which: FIG.

（図面の簡単な説明）図１は、スノーボードを長手断面（はぼ長手中心線に沿って）において純概略的に示し、図２は、本発明による調節装置を備えたスノーボードを概略的平面図で示し、図３は、異なった様式に構成され互いに並べて取り付けられた２つの調節装置を有する図２と同様な図を示し、図４は、本発明による装置の側面図を同様に純概略的に示し、図５は、調節装置の変形を示し、かつ図６は、本発明による装置のと（に有利な構成を示している。(Brief explanation of the drawing) Figure 1 shows a purely schematic view of a snowboard in longitudinal section (along the longitudinal centerline). shown in FIG. 2 shows a snowboard with an adjustment device according to the invention in a schematic plan view, and FIG. 3 has two adjusting devices configured in different ways and mounted next to each other. A diagram similar to FIG. 2 is shown, FIG. 4 likewise shows purely diagrammatically a side view of the device according to the invention, and FIG. 5 shows the adjustment device indicates a deformation of, and FIG. 6 shows an advantageous configuration of the device according to the invention.

[Best mode for carrying out the invention]

図面の図１は、スノーボード１の原理的な長手断面を示している。スノーボード１の滑走面は、通常所定の平均的な初応力を有し、この初応力は、湾曲ｆＯにおいて明らかであり、すなわち無負荷の板における滑走面は凹んでいる。 FIG. 1 of the drawings shows a basic longitudinal section of a snowboard 1. FIG. snow board The sliding surface of 1 usually has a predetermined average initial stress, and this initial stress is equal to the curvature fO. It is clear that the sliding surface of the unloaded plate is concave.

本発明による装置によれば、この時滑走面の湾曲ｒ１は変化できる（任意の値ｆｌ＞ｆＯに）、それにより走行特性は変化し、又は使用又は老化により材料の疲れのため減少した基本初応力は、後から調節することができる。明らかにこのような調節により操縮者の個々の体重又は能力に合わせることもできる。According to the device according to the invention, the curvature r1 of the sliding surface can then vary (for any value f l>fO), the running properties change or the material becomes fatigued due to use or aging. The basic initial stress reduced due to this can be adjusted later. Obviously this Further adjustments can be made to suit the individual weight or ability of the operator.

正しい制動要素を使用した場合、そのうえに生じる衝撃は、ばね要素だけを使用した場合よりも効果的に制動することができる。If the correct braking element is used, the resulting shock will only use the spring element. You can brake more effectively than if you had done so.

図面の図２は、本発明による装置を備えたスノーボード１を平面図で示している。上方へ突出した両方の支持台２．２’、押圧棒３、ｖ４節手段４、ばね要素５及び制動要素６を有する装置は、その場合、両方のビンディング７．７′の間に配置されている。FIG. 2 of the drawings shows a snowboard 1 equipped with a device according to the invention in plan view. . Both support stands 2.2' projecting upwards, pressure rod 3, v4 joint means 4, spring element 5 and a braking element 6 between the two bindings 7.7'. It is located.

図示した例において、装置は、ビンディング７．７′の間において板１に固定的に結合され（ねじで締付けられ）かつ支持台を形成する２つのアングル２．２′ 、及び押圧棒を形成するねし棒３（これは少なくとも中央区間にねじを有する）を有する。ねし捧３上には調節ナツト４、圧縮ばね５及びゴムブロック６の形の制動要素がある。調節ナツト４によって、圧縮ばね５及び制動要素６の初応力が変化でき、したがって板の初応力又は湾曲に作用を及ぼすことができる。圧縮ばねと制動要素を有するこの装置において、これら両方の要素の特性曲線の間には関連がある。基本的に、装置が圧縮ばねだけ、又は制動要素だけを備えることも可能である。しかし押圧棒上に両方の要素を配置すると有利である。スノーボード上に同−又は異なった構成の複数の装置を設けることも可能である。In the example shown, the device is fixed to the plate 1 between the bindings 7, 7'. two angles 2.2' that are connected (screwed) and form a support; , and a threaded rod 3 forming a pressure rod (which has a thread at least in its central section) has. On the screw stud 3 there are arranged an adjusting nut 4, a compression spring 5 and a rubber block 6. There is a braking element. By adjusting the adjusting nut 4, the initial stress of the compression spring 5 and the braking element 6 is adjusted. can be varied and thus influence the initial stress or curvature of the plate. compression band In this device with spring and damping elements, between the characteristic curves of both these elements there is It's related. In principle, the device may also comprise only a compression spring or only a damping element. It is possible. However, it is advantageous to arrange both elements on the pressure bar. snowboarding It is also possible to have multiple devices of the same or different configuration on the board.

このようにして例えば図３は、並べて配置された２つの装置８及び９を有するスノーボードを示しており、これら装置のうち一方ばばね要素８′を有し、かつ他方は制動要素９′を有する。この構成において一方の装置８は、滑走面の湾曲を調節するために使われるが、一方他方のもの９は、主として制動度を調節するために使われる。Thus, for example, FIG. 8, one of these devices has a spring element 8' and the other one has a spring element 8'; The other has a braking element 9'. In this configuration, one device 8 adjusts the curvature of the sliding surface. The other one 9 is mainly used to adjust the braking degree. used for

図４は、本発明による装置の原理的な構成を示している。これは、２つの支持台１０．１１　、支持台■０に肩部１３を接触させたねし捧１２、圧縮ばね１５及びゴムダンパ１６からなり、その場合、調節ナツト１４及びダンパ１６は、ねし棒１２上に自由に可動に載っている。ねし棒１２は、支持台１１においては軸線方向に自由に可動であるが、有利にはこの端部において回転を阻止されている。FIG. 4 shows the basic configuration of the device according to the invention. This is two supports 10.11, the shoulder part 12 with the shoulder part 13 in contact with the support base ■0, the compression spring 15 and In this case, the adjustment nut 14 and the damper 16 are It is freely movable on a rod 12. The tension rod 12 is aligned with the axis of the support base 11. It is freely movable in the direction, but is preferably prevented from rotating at this end.

調節ナンド４を回転することによって、この時圧縮ばね１５と制動要素１６からなるセフ）は、多かれ少なかれ初応力をかけることができるので、両方の支持台ｌ０１１１は、初応力により押し広げられ、かつ支持台１０．１１によって形成されたレバーのために、板は多かれ少なかれ強力に初応力をかけられ又は湾曲させられる。By rotating the adjusting knob 4, the compression spring 15 and the braking element 16 are then Narusef) can apply more or less initial stress, so both supports l0111 is pushed apart by the initial stress and formed by the support base 10.11. Due to the lever being bent, the plate is more or less strongly prestressed or curved. be given

図４は、例えば少なくとも１つの支持台１０がキャリジ状のガイド１０′において板に取り付は可能であることを示しており、その場合、調節ナンド４に代わって（これは固定のストッパによって置き換えられる）、圧縮ばね及び制動要素１５又は１６に初応力をかけるため、適当な調節装置（例えば同様にねし棒）を介して、支持台ｌＯはガイド１０′内で動かすことができる。FIG. 4 shows, for example, that at least one support 10 is mounted on a carriage-like guide 10'. This indicates that it is possible to install it on the plate, and in that case, it is possible to install it on the board. (which is replaced by a fixed stop), compression spring and damping element 1 In order to apply the initial stress to 5 or 16, a suitable adjusting device (e.g. likewise a tension rod) is used. The support 10 can then be moved within the guide 10'.

図５は、偏心輪１７の形の別の調節手段を純概略的に示しており、この偏心輪は、ねし棒１２上にある固定のストッパ１８（調節ナツト１４の代わり）に押し付けられており、かつこれを動かすことができる。偏心輪１７は、専門家には周知のように種々の角度位置において固定できなければならない。FIG. 5 shows, purely schematically, another adjustment means in the form of an eccentric 17, which eccentric , press against the fixed stopper 18 (instead of the adjustment nut 14) on the tension rod 12. It is also visible and can be moved. Eccentric wheel 17 is well known to experts It must be possible to fix it in various angular positions such as.

図面の図６は、本発明の対象のと（に有利な構成を示している。両方の支持台１７及び１８の間に、３部分からなる押圧棒１９’　、１９″、１９　”　’が回転可能に支持されており（穴１７′又は１８′内に）、その場合、押圧棒の一方の端部は、穴１７′内においてさらに長手方向に可動できる。FIG. 6 of the drawings shows an advantageous configuration of the object of the invention. Between 7 and 18, a press rod 19', 19'', 19'' consisting of three parts rotates. is rotatably supported (in hole 17' or 18'), in which case one of the push rods is further movable longitudinally within the hole 17'.

ねし棒として構成された押圧棒の区間１９′上に、ストッパ２０が載っており、このストッパ２０に圧縮ばね２１の一方の端部が接している。圧縮ばね２１の他方の端部は、押圧棒１９′を囲む管２２の端部閉鎖Ｍ２３に接している。この管２２は支持台１７に接しており、かつ両方の支持台１７．１８が、圧縮ばね２１の応力に依存して多かれ少なかれ強力に押し開かれる（ばねは、明らかにスノーボードの動作中の変化する力も吸収するが、その場合これをそれほど制動しない）ようにする、可動のストッパ２０は、ねじ穴を有し、かつ押圧棒区間１９’のねじ上にはまっている。半径方向に突出したビン２４を介して、ストッパ（ねじナツト）２０は、管２２の長手スリット２５内で案内されているので、管２２を固定保持した場合、ねじ棒１９の回転によりストッパ２０（シたがってばね初応力）の位置は調節することができる。スリット２５内におけるビン２４の位置は、同時にばねの初応力を示している。A stop 20 rests on the section 19' of the pressure rod, which is designed as a tension rod; One end of a compression spring 21 is in contact with this stopper 20 . In addition to the compression spring 21 The other end rests on the end closure M23 of the tube 22 surrounding the push rod 19'. this tube 22 is in contact with the support base 17, and both support bases 17, 18 are connected to the compression spring 21. (The spring is obviously pushed open more or less forcefully depending on the stress of the snow It also absorbs changing forces during board movement, but in that case it does not dampen this as much ), the movable stopper 20 has a threaded hole and is connected to the push rod section 19'. It's stuck on the screw. Through the radially projecting pin 24, the stopper (screw The nut) 20 is guided in the longitudinal slit 25 of the tube 22, so that When held fixed, the rotation of the threaded rod 19 causes the stopper 20 (therefore, the spring initial response power) position can be adjusted. The position of the bottle 24 within the slit 25 is , which also shows the initial stress of the spring.

区間１９′及び１９″′とともに回転可能に結合された押圧棒１９の区間１９″ は（区　゛間１９′は区間１９″内に回らないように差し込まれており、一方区間１９′は区間１９″と一体に又はねし止めされて形成されている）、制動要素の支持体として使われる。これは、次のように動作する。すなわち肩部２６とねじ２７にはまったねしナンド２８との間にゴム要素２９が挿入されており、その場合、肩部２６とゴム要素２９は、シリンダ状の管２２の内部にある。多かれ少なかれ強力にねじナツト２８を引き締めることにより、ゴム要素２９は多かれ少なかれ強力に広げられ、かつ管２２の内壁に押し付けられ、このことによって、押圧棒１９が管２２の長手方向に動かされるとすぐに、摩擦によって制動作用を及ぼす、押圧棒区間１９″のねじ２７上にあるねしナツト２８の一方の端部は、同様に管２２内に侵入しており、かつその他の点ではこのねじナツト２８は、管２２に対応する直径を有する。Section 19'' of push rod 19 rotatably connected with sections 19' and 19'' (Section 19' is inserted so as not to go inside section 19'', while section (the gap 19' is formed integrally or screwed to the section 19''), the braking element used as a support. It works as follows. In other words, the shoulder 26 A rubber element 29 is inserted between the rubber element 28 and the rubber element 28 that is fitted in the screw 27. In this case, the shoulder 26 and the rubber element 29 are inside the cylindrical tube 22. more or less By tightening the screw nut 28 forcefully, the rubber element 29 may be loosened more or less. Instead, it is forcefully spread out and pressed against the inner wall of the tube 22, thereby As soon as the push rod 19 is moved in the longitudinal direction of the tube 22, it exerts a braking action by friction. One end of the threaded nut 28 on the screw 27 of the push rod section 19'' This threaded nut 28 also penetrates into the tube 22 and is otherwise It has a diameter corresponding to 22.

押圧棒１９の最後の区間１９″′は、直径において大幅に拡大されており（管２２の直径に相当）、かつ溝を付けた表面を有する。したがって管２２を固定保持して押圧棒１９を回転することにより、圧縮ばね２１の初応力を調節することができる。そδためこの調節過程のためにねしナツト２８をゆるめ、かつ所望の制動を調整するために続いて再び引き締める。The last section 19'' of the pressure rod 19 is significantly enlarged in diameter (tube 2 2) and has a grooved surface. Therefore, the tube 22 is held fixed. By rotating the pressing rod 19, the initial stress of the compression spring 21 can be adjusted. can. Therefore, for this adjustment process, loosen the screw nut 28 and set the desired control. Then tighten again to adjust the movement.
