Definitions

  • the present invention relates generally to the field of dasher boards and accessories for use in bounded sports arenas such as hockey and soccer arenas. More specifically, the present invention pertains to soft caps for absorbing player impact against dasher boards.
  • Dasher boards are used in bounded sports arenas to demarcate a general boundary line dividing a playing field from on-looking spectators and to absorb impact from players as they maneuver the outer periphery of the playing field.
  • the dasher boards are typically designed to be secure and stable in order to withstand vibration or shock while also providing the spectators with a clear and unobstructed view of the game.
  • such dasher boards are designed to withstand significant impacts caused by hockey players skating or being pushed into the boards throughout the course of a game while also allowing spectators to view the game without obstructions.
  • a typical dasher board for a hockey rink includes a lower frame, an anchoring system for attaching the lower frame to the rink surface, an upper shielding pane, and a support mechanism for connecting the upper shielding pane to the lower frame.
  • the dasher boards can be fabricated as either a fixed, continuous frame forming the boundary, or in demountable sections typically eight feet in length that are assembled together in an end-to-end fashion to form the boundary.
  • an ice retainer or ice dam is sometimes used on the bottom of the lower frame to prevent ice from creeping away from the playing surface.
  • the "flexibility" of the dasher board is generally understood as the displacement of the dasher board in response to an impact, which can vaiy from as little as 1/16" for systems that utilize boards mounted to a concrete block wall to as much as 2" to 3" for demountable systems which employ loose anchors and bolts and are constructed from aluminum frames.
  • An illustrative dasher board system employing several features for absorbing player impact is described in greater detail in U.S. Patent No. 6,004,217 to Johnston et al, which is incorporated herein by reference in its entirety.
  • dasher board systems employ features to absorb the energy from an impact
  • the surfaces of the dasher boards are typically made from hard materials such as high-density polyethylene (HDPE) or fiberglass which are not absorptive.

  • a curved section formed on one or both sides of the elongated body can be configured to fit adjacent to the hard edges of the lower frame.
  • the elongated body can be formed from a soft material such as low-density polyethylene, which in contrast to the harder materials typically used in forming dasher boards, can be configured to displace or yield when compressed to absorb impact energy.
  • the soft cap can be provided as part of a dasher board assembly including a lower frame assembly and a number of upper shielding panes.
  • the frame assembly can include an impact panel attached to a number of vertical posts and stringers.
  • An upper section of the frame assembly may define an upper periphery that can be configured to support the soft cap,

Abstract

L'invention concerne des capots flexibles permettant d'absorber tout impact de joueur contre des tableaux d'affichage. Le capot flexible peut comprendre un corps allongé définissant un certain nombre de nervures et de profilés en U d'absorption permettant d'absorber les forces d'impact contre le tableau d'affichage. Le corps allongé peut être formé à partir d'un matériau ayant une valeur au duromètre relativement faible adaptée pour déplacer et absorber l'énergie d'impact quand un joueur vient frapper le tableau d'affichage. Une ou plusieurs sections courbes du corps allongé peuvent être configurées pour se trouver de manière adjacente par rapport aux bords durs du tableau d'affichage. Le capot flexible peut être mis en œuvre comme faisant partie d'un ensemble de tableau d'affichage comprenant un ensemble bâti inférieur et un certain nombre de panneaux de protection supérieurs.
