  • the glide elements are at [58] Field of Search H l04/69 70, 134 135.
  • the present invention relates generally to a sledding system, and more particularly to a novel sledding system which requires neither-ice nor snow for its operation.
  • a sledding system which, briefly stated, comprises a track including support means defining a sledding path, and a plurality of glide elements carried by the support means extending along the path and'having exposed faces which together form a sledding surface, said glide elements being at least at the faces thereof of a first material having a low coefficient of friction;
  • the system further comprises at least one sled having runners'provided with sledding-surface engaging portions of a second material which also has a low coefficient of friction but is different from the first.
  • the first material may be polyethylene, it may be fluoro-containing polyalkylene, it may bepolymethylenoxide, it may be polyester, melamine resin, or even cold rolled rust-free steel.
  • Thesecond material may be fiuoro-containing polyalkylene, polymethylenoxide or polyethylene.
  • theindividual glide elements each have a surface which is straight in the direction of elongation of the track, and whichis planar if the elements are intended for a straight track portion, and upwardly concave in the region of one lateral margin if the glide element is for a curved portion of the track, so as to simulate banking as is known from curves on roads.
  • At least one side, and preferably both sides, of the track are provided with protective retaining barriers to prevent the sled or sleds rom leaving the track.
  • the first material may be a carbon-blackcontaining high-molecular low-pressure polyethylene
  • the second material may be a polytetrafluorethylene filled either with finely divided metal powder, with carbon black, or with both powders.
  • the metal powder may be a finely divided bronze powder.
  • the carbon black or metal powder improves the heat dissipation.
  • the first material may be a polymethylenoxide which has been stabilized so as to be resistant to the elements
  • the second material may again be polytetrafluoroethylene which is filled with finely divided metal powder and/or carbon black.
  • first and second materials may be provided with additional conventional and well-known stabilizing and other materials in order to provide then with desired resistance to the elements, particularly sunlight, moisture and the effective ozone.
  • the first material also be a cold rolled austenitic chrome-nickel steel sheet, particularly of the type 4301 III D
  • the second material may be carbon-blackfilled high-molecular low-pressure polyethylene, or polytetrafluoroethylene which is filled with a finely divided metallic powder and/or carbon black.
  • the lowpressure polyethylene should have a molecular weight of at least 10. If chrome-nickel steel sheet is used, then the glide elements may be made self-supporting, so that they can be connected to the support structure without requiring an additional surface on which to rest.
  • FIG. 1 is a somewhat diagrammatic cross-section through a sledding system according to the present invention in a straight track area;
  • FIG. 2 is a view similar to FIG. 1, but showing a track area for a right-hand curve
  • FIG. 3 is a fragmentary longitudinal section (longitudinally of the track) for a portion of the track according to one embodiment
  • FIG. 4 is a view similar to FIG. 3 illustrating a different embodiment
  • FIG. 5 is a side view of a sled constituting a part of the novel system.
  • FIG. 6 is a partially sectioned rear view of the sled.
  • FIG. 1 illustrates a portion of the sledding system in a section taken through a straight track part.
  • reference numeral 2 identifies a supporting surface on which a sledding surface 3 is provided, composed of a plurality of planar glide elements 4 which are each connected in their center region by a countersunk screw 35 with the support surface 2.
  • the latter is provided on crossbars 9 which extend transversely to the elongation of the track, being spaced from one another in the longitudinal direction of the track and which in turn are connected to the upper side of two double-T rails 22 which extend in longitudinal direction of the track.
  • the rails 22 in turn are connected by means of bolts or the like to transversely extending ties of wood or concrete, and holding element 12 are connected to the outer ends of these ties 10, having secured to them lateral supports 7 which are also connected with the crossbars 9 and which carry at the opposite lateral sides of the track respective barriers the inwardly facing sides of which are provided with glide layers 6.
  • FIG. 2 shows a track portion in a cross-section taken through a right-hand curve of the track.
  • the track portion is identified with reference numeral 1 and again comprises double-T rails 11 mounted on the ties 10.
  • a one-piece supporting surface 2' of metallic material, glass fiber reinforced synthetic plastic or a material available under the tradename Eternit.
  • the surface 2' is concavely shaped to simulate banking as it is found in a road, and it is found in a road, and is connected with the lateral supports 7 which are secured to the ties by means of the members 12.
  • the barrier 5 which has been previously described.
  • Glide element 4' are provided on the supporting surface 2', extending transversely to the elongation of the track over the entire width of the latter and having at the inner side of the curve a planar portion 3a and at the outer side of the curve a concavely curved portion 3b.
  • the glide elements 4 can be mounted, particularly in the curved regions of the track, in the manner which is diagrammatically illustrated in FIG. 3.
  • the glide elements 3 are configurated as stripshaped elements extending over the entire width of the track and provided at their transverse edges with recesses so as to form the steps 16.
  • These reduced-height portions formed by the steps 16 extend into guide rails which are of U-shaped cross-section, so that between the transverse edges at the steps 16 and the upper portions 19 of the rails 17 which overlap them, as well as in the interior of the recess 18 in the rails 17, there will be sufficient play to permit for a thermal expansion or contraction of the glide elements 4.
  • the individual elements 2' forming the support surface are mounted so that they define between one another small gaps 14.
  • the elements 2' and the elements 4 are provided with transverse edges which extend at an angle to the elongation of the track.
  • the glide elements 4' have surfaces which are slightly convex in the direction of the track, and their transverse edges are secured to the support surface 2 by means of countersunk screws 34 which hold retaining elements that overlap the lateral edges of the elements 4.
  • This arrangement has the advantage that the sled will essentially glide only on the concave portions of the elements 4, so that the contact area between the sled runners and the elements 4 is correspondingly reduced, and the frictional resistance is similarly reduced.
  • This embodiment is particularly suitable for straight-line track portions.
  • a sled 20 is illustrated in FIGS. 1, 5 and 6.
  • the runners 21 are inwardly inclined and connected with one another by metal brackets 22 to which transverse supports 23 are secured.
  • the ends of these are connected with the longitudinal members 24, the latter having front ends which are displaceably guided in the upwardly inclined front end portions of the runners 21.
  • This construction makes it possible for a user to shirt his weight, and by appropriate shifting and pulling on a guide strap or the like (not shown) the ends of which are connected to the tips of the runners 21, to influence the direction of travel of the sled.
  • sled turnable shafts 27 are provided in the rear regions of the two runners 21, at the outer side and being inclined relative to the central vertical plane of the sled at an inward angle.
  • Arms 28 are pivotably mounted on these shafts 27 and carry at their rearward ends shafts 29 which extend parallel to the shafts 27 and on which guide wheels 30 are turnably journalled.
  • Leaf springs 32 engage the arms 28 and press the wheels 30 which are provided with a cover 31 of rubber or synthetic plastic material elastically against the glide elements 4.
  • the arrangement, dimensions, angle of inclination and material for the cover 31 should all be coordinated with the material used for the glide elements 4 themselves.
  • FIG. 6 shows particularly clearly that the glide profile 25 on the runners is of circular cross-section and is accommodated in an approximately semi-circular groove 36 of the respective runner 21.
  • the front end of the glide profile 21 is provided with a head 41 of enlarged dimension which serves as an abutment and engages against that portion of the forward end portion of the runner 21 which surrounds the outlet opening of the groove 36.
  • the rear end of the glide profile 25 is provided with a thread 43 onto which a nut 42 is threaded, which in turn engages the rear end face of the runner 21 about the rear opening of the groove 36.
  • the groove 36 can also be undercut in its cross-section, and the glide profile 25 can be correspondingly undercut and inserted from one or the other open end of the groove 36 by sliding it into the same.
  • the circular cross-section of the glide element 25 has the advantage that by merely turning it about its longitudinal axis it can be tensioned in the groove 36 in various different positions, so that different surface portions of the glide element 25 can be exposed for contact with the glide elements 4.
  • a transverse shaft 35 is provided in the rearward metal bracket 22, having outwardly projected ends each of which carries a brake arm 39 the lower end of which is provided with a brake block 40 of rubber or another elastomeric material,
  • Both of the arms 39 are con-- nected by the shaft 37 in such a manner that they can be pivoted only jointly, and not individually. Individual displacement might have the effect of throwing off the sled from a straight-line movement on the track, and causing it to be flung off the track.
  • the upwardly extending end portions of the brake arms 39 are advantageously configurated as hand grips which can be engaged by a user. When the'user wishes to brake the sled 20, for instance when he encounters an unexpected obstruction on the track, it is merely necessary to engage one or the other of these hand grips and to pull on it, resulting in a pressing of the brake blocks 40 against the glide elements 4 and a rapid braking of the sled due to the resulting friction.
  • the sled could be configurated differently from what has been illustrated, for instance as a bobsled with steerable runners which are provided with glide elements.
  • the angle of inclination of the axis for the wheels 30, which latter serve merely as a guide function to guide the sled on the track, are advantageously inclined to the vertical central plane of the sled 20 at an angle of between substantially 5 and 30 inwardly and downwardly.
  • These guide wheels 30 so stabilize the sled 20 on the track that even unskilled users, such as children, can sled along the entire track without any difficulties, and in particular without coming in contact with one or the other of the lateral safety barriers.
  • the particular material to be selected for the glid elements and for the surface engaging portions of the sled runner is selected in dependence upon the length, the inclination and the types of curves provided on the track. It will also be determined by the speed which it is desired to obtain, the wear behavior of the material and the manner in which the material will age, as well of course as by the expense of the material. It is, of course, desirable that the material be so-selected that even non-skilled users be able to obtain a sledding speed which is comparable to that which can be achieved by sledding on ice or snow.
  • Tests have been carried out to attempt to determine the suitability of various materials, and it is found that many materials which afford sufficiently low friction if the track is short and the speed is low, cannot be used when in a sledding system according to the present invention where the track is to be long (for instance in excess of 500 meters) and the speeds are to be relatively high.
  • the provision of the guide wheels 30 has been found not to disadvantageously influence the glide speed of the sled on the track.
  • An advantage of having the gaps between adjacent ones of the support elements and glide elements is that water that might otherwise tend to accumulate due to rain or the like can readily run off.
  • Any connecting or securing elements should of course be recessed or countersunk so as not to come in contact with the sledding-surface engaging portions on the runners of the in the curves may increase in height as the curve is entered and decreased as the curve is left, or it may be of constant height.
  • the dimensioning of the glide elements and the support elements for them is advantageously so selected (considering the characteristics of their materials) that a sufficient lifetime is obtained for them and that no bulging or other distortion of the glide surface will occur.
  • the glide elements at the exposed faces thereof may be provided with a type of lubricant-pocket surface structure, and to supply such pockets at certain intervals with a lubricant.
  • lubricants should of course be preferably of a type which will not stain the garments of a user if they should come in contact with such garments (e.g. due to a fall, trailing of a garment portion on the sledding surface, or the like).
  • the lubricants should not cause excessive and dangerous increase in the sledding speeds in the event the sledding surface should become moist.
  • the lubricant may be on a silicone basis, or it may be on a wax basis.
  • lubricants it is preferred not to use lubricants, but if for any reason a lubricant is indeed used, it is very important as already outlinedthat it be so selected that in the presence of water (e.g. due to moisture on the track) the lubricant does not permit a significant increase in the sled speed.
