Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a procedure as defined in the preamble of claim 1 for mounting and dismounting a climbing wall and to a climbing wall as defined in the preamble of claim 3.
  • Climbing is a sport whose popularity is rapidly growing. Climbing activities are already being organised as compe ⁇ titions and at an amateur level in connection with vari ⁇ ous events, in the courtyards of restaurants and as extra pursuits at exhibitions. Climbing walls in indoor spaces are usually fixed structures, but those used in outdoor spaces consist of movable structures that are usually as ⁇ Sild by using modular scaffolding.
  • the drawbacks of the use of modular scaffolding include slow mounting, which takes one to two days, and slow dismounting, which also takes a whole day. As the mounting and dismounting operations require a work force of two or three people, the use of known climbing walls is also fairly expensive. A further drawback is that the scaffolding requires plenty of space and is environmentally unaesthetic.
  • the object of the present invention is to eliminate the drawbacks mentioned above and to achieve a reliable and simple climbing wall which can be quickly mounted and dismounted.
  • the procedure of the invention for mounting a climbing wall is characterized by what is presented in the characterization part of claim 1.
  • the climbing wall of the invention is characterized by what is presented in the characterization part of claim 3.
  • Other embodiments of the invention are characterized by what is presented in the other claims.
  • the climbing wall of the invention has the advantages of ease of use, simplicity and fast and advantageous mount ⁇ ing and dismounting. Mounting and dismounting take only about 15 minutes, and the supporting structure of the wall is so small that it does not require a large space and has no unaesthetic effect on the environment. As the climbing wall can be quickly mounted and dismounted, it can be erected in several places during the same day. A further advantage is that the climbing tracks can be set up while the wall is in a horizontal position, which makes it considerably easier to set up the tracks. Moreo ⁇ ver, as the climbing wall is implemented on the principle of a travelling platform, its transportation is very easy.
  • Fig. 1 presents an axonometric representation of the climbing wall in transport position in an oblique top view
  • Fig. 2 presents the climbing wall in transport position in lateral view
  • Fig. 3 presents the climbing wall in climbing position in lateral view.
  • Fig. 4 - 6 present the climbing wall in different stages of operation in a simplified lateral view, and
  • Fig. 7 present the climbing wall in an alternative climbing position in a simplified lateral view.
  • the climbing wall of the invention is constructed as a travelling platform unit 1, which consists of longitudi ⁇ nal main beams 2 laid on a horizontal plane and a verti ⁇ cal front wall 3 attached to their first ends and a ver ⁇ tical rear wall 4 attached to the other ends of the main beams, the outward-facing back surface of the rear wall constituting the lower part of the climbing wall.
  • the rear wall is fastened to the main beams with trussed bars as exemplified by the numbered bars 16 and 17 in Fig. 1.
  • weights 5 placed on the main beams near each end of the beams. The purpose of the weights is to stabilize the climbing wall in its climbing position.
  • the structure also comprises a hydraulic unit 22 used as its power unit, driven by normal lighting electricity.
  • hydraul_ ⁇ cylinders 8 Pivoted on the supporting frame 6 by means of a horizon ⁇ tal joint 9 are hydraul_ ⁇ cylinders 8 which receive their driving power from a hydraulic unit 22 via hydraulic hoses 21.
  • the system preferably comprises two hydraulic cylinders, and these are placed symmetrically with re ⁇ spect to each other on either side of the longitudinal axis of the climbing wall.
  • the piston part 10 of each hy- draulic cylinder is lin. ed wich a joint 11 to a longitu ⁇ dinal beam 20 in the trussed structure of the middle sec ⁇ tion 13 of the climbing wall.
  • the trussed structure addi ⁇ tionally comprises other bracing bars, such as cross mem ⁇ bers 14 and diagonal struts 12.
  • the trussed structure of the middle section 13 of the climbing wall is pivoted on the trussed structure of the rear wall by means of a horizontal joint 15.
  • the mid ⁇ dle section 13 of the climbing wall In the transport position, the mid ⁇ dle section 13 of the climbing wall is in a horizontal position, but in the climbing position it is turned up into a substantially upright position and the middle sec ⁇ tion of the wall is fixed by its trussed structure to the trussed structure of the rear wall 4.
  • the fastening is implemented using securing bolts, by means of which the cross members 16 of the rear wall are fastened to the cross members 14 of the middle section.
  • the trussed structure 19 of the top section 25 of the climbing wall is pivoted on the trussed structure of the middle section by means of a horizontal joint 18.
  • the top section 25 of the climbing wall In the transport position, the top section 25 of the climbing wall is in an upright position with its top end pointing downwards.
  • the climbing wall is so dimensioned with re- spect to the main beams that, in the transport position, the top section 25 remains on the inner side of the front wall, i.e. between the front and rear walls, close to the back side of the front wall.
  • the top section of the wall is turned up into a substantially upright position with the top end pointing upwards, the top section of the wall being fas ⁇ tened by its trussed structure to the trussed structure of the middle section.
  • the fastening is implemented using securing bolts in the same way as the corresponding at- tachment between the rear wall and the middle section.
  • the climbing wall of the invention may consist of several sections, e.g. the term ⁇ upper section of the climbing wall' will be used below. This refers to the whole collapsible portion of the climbing wall, which comprises the top section 25 and the middle section 13 but which could also consist of a single continuous part without a separate top section.
  • the climbing wall is mounted and dismounted as follows: The climbing wall is carried to the site on a truck pro ⁇ vided with a transfer table function and then lowered to the ground at a desired location. Electricity to the hy ⁇ draulic unit 22 is switched on and, using the controls 23, the assembly consisting of the middle section 13 and the top section 25 is raised sufficiently to allow the top section 25 to be turned out so that it forms an ex ⁇ tension of the middle section in alignment with the lat ⁇ ter, whereupon the top section is fastened to the middle section in the manner described above. If necessary, the climbing track can be set up at this stage by placing the foothold blocks 24 in desired locations.
  • the climbing wall is raised completely to an upright position by means of the hydraulic cylinders 8.
  • the lowest cross members 14 of the middle sec- tion lie immediately above the topmost cross members of the rear wall 4 or bottom section and said cross members are tightened against each other by means of securing bolts to ensure the stability of the wall.
  • the climbing wall is now ready for use by climbers. After use, the wall is collapsed into the transport position and lifted onto a truck like a normal travelling platform.
  • the power means may consist of a single high-power hy ⁇ draulic cylinder or it may consist of one or more pneu ⁇ matic cylinders, spindle motors, screws, etc.
  • the truck's own hydraulic or pneu ⁇ matic system instead of using an external lighting electricity supply, it is possible to use the truck's own hydraulic or pneu ⁇ matic system. If no mains current is readily available, it is possible to use a separate generator.
  • the position of the wall can be varied. The middle sec- tion or the top section of the wall can be turned into a negative angle to make climbing more difficult. Fig.
  • the height of the top section of the wall can be varied and it is also possible to add a substantially horizontal part to the top end of the top section to represent a ledge.
  • the turning of the top section 25 relative to the middle section 13 can also be implemented by hydraulic or other means, and auxiliary cylinders directed sidewards and downwards can be used to hold the whole structure steady.
