Abstract

Slalom gate, whereby the flag (20) is connected to one of the two gate posts (15, 21, 42) by means of a rubber tensioner (16, 17, 37). When a racer touches the gate post (15) provided with a tilting joint (13), the gate post can be deflected, because the flag is connected to the gate post in question by means of the rubber tensioner.

Description

Die Erfindung betrifft ein Slalomtor, bestehend aus einer rechten und einer linken Torstange, die oben über eine Flagge miteinander verbunden sind, wobei wenigstens eine der Torstangen ein Kippgelenk hat.The invention relates to a slalom goal, consisting of a right and a left goal bar, which are connected to each other at the top by a flag, at least one of the goal bars having a tilt joint.

Herkömmlicherweise ist die Flagge mit beiden Torstangen über Bänder fest verbunden. Vgl. die deutsche Offenlegungsschrift 28 14 896, in der auch eine Ausführungsform einer Torstange mit Kippgelenk beschrieben ist.Traditionally, the flag is firmly attached to both goal poles via ribbons. See the German laid-open specification 28 14 896, which also describes an embodiment of a gate bar with a tilt joint.

Wenn der Rennläufer eine der Torstangen eines solchen herkömmlichen Slalomtors beim Rennen berührt, besteht die Gefahr, daß die betreffende Torstange bricht oder zumindest aus ihrer Verankerung im Schnee oder Eis herausgerissen wird oder es kann auch zu einem Reißen der Fahne oder ihrer Befestigungsbänder kommen. Dies beruht darauf, daß die mit dem Kippgelenk ausgerüstete Torstange zwar im Kippgelenk nachgeben kann, nicht aber die andere Konstruktion.If the racer touches one of the goal poles of such a conventional slalom goal during the race, there is a risk that the goal bar in question will break or at least be torn out of its anchoring in the snow or ice or the flag or its fastening tapes may also tear. This is due to the fact that the gate bar equipped with the tilt joint can yield in the tilt joint, but not the other construction.

Die Erfindung vermeidet diese Nachteile. Ihr liegt die Aufgabe zugrunde, ein Slalomtor vorzuschlagen, bei dem es nicht mehr zu Beschädigungen des Slalomtors oder zu Verletzungen der Rennläufer kommen kann. Auch soll das Slalomtor nach einer Berührung durch den betreffenden Skifahrer sofort wieder in seine Normallage zurückkehren, so daß der nächste Rennläufer starten kann, ohne daß das betreffende Tor vorher wieder gerichtet werden muß.The invention avoids these disadvantages. It is based on the task of proposing a slalom goal that can no longer damage the slalom goal or injure the racer. Also, the slalom goal should immediately return to its normal position after being touched by the skier in question, so that the next racer can start without the goal in question having to be directed again.

Zur Lösung dieser Aufgabe ist die Erfindung dadurch gekennzeichnet, daß die Verbindung der Flagge mit einer der beiden Torstangen über wenigstens einen Gummizug erfolgt, der an den zu der betreffenden Torstange weisenden Enden der Flagge befestigt ist, der durch diese Torstange nach unten hindurchgeht und der im unteren Bereich der Torstange an der Torstange befestigt ist.To achieve this object, the invention is characterized in that the connection of the flag to one of the two goal posts is carried out via at least one elastic band, which is attached to the ends of the flag facing the relevant goal post, which goes down through this goal post and which in lower area of the gate bar is attached to the gate bar.

Wenn der Rennläufer die mit dem Kippgelenk ausgerüstete Torstange berührt, so gibt diese nach und dasselbe geschieht mit der Flagge, weil diese nachgiebig über den erwähnten Gummizug an der betreffenden Torstange befestigt ist. Der Gummizug hat eine ausreichende Länge, weil er sich über einen wesentlichen Teil der Länge der betreffenden Torstang erstreckt. Er ist auch geschützt, weil er im Inneren der Torstange untergebracht ist.When the racer touches the gate bar equipped with the tilt joint, it gives way and the same happens with the flag, because it is flexibly attached to the gate bar in question via the elastic band mentioned. The elastic band is of sufficient length because it extends over a substantial part of the length of the goal bar in question. It is also protected because it is housed inside the gate bar.

Ein weiterer Vorteil des erfindungsgemäßen Slalomtors besteht darin, daß bei starken Windböen, die bisher sogar schon zum Umknicken der Torstangen geführt haben, die die Windkraft aufnehmende Flagge nachgeben kann, so daß die volle Windkraft nicht mehr auf die Flagge einwirkt, und zwar ebenfalls bedingt durch den beschriebenen Gummizug.Another advantage of the slalom gate according to the invention is that in strong gusts of wind, which have previously even caused the gate bars to bend, the wind-absorbing flag can yield, so that the full wind power no longer acts on the flag, also due to the elastic band described.

Nach dem Berühren der betreffencen Torstange durch den Abfahrtsläufer richtet sich die Torstange wieder auf und auch die Flagge kommt in ihre Normallage, weil sie durch den Gummizug wieder in die Ausgangslage zurückgezogen wird. All dies erfolgt unmittelbar nach dem Berühren der betreffenden Torstange durch den Abfahrtsläufer, so daß das Slalomtor trotzdem sofort wieder für den nächsten Läufer betriebsbereit ist.After touching the relevant gate bar by the downhill runner, the gate bar straightens up again and the flag also comes to its normal position because it is pulled back into the starting position by the elastic band. All this takes place immediately after the downhill runner touches the relevant gate bar, so that the slalom goal is nevertheless immediately ready for the next runner.

Durch die erfindungsgemäße Ausbildung des Slalomtors kann dieses also ausreichend nachgeben und es besteht praktisch keine Verletzungsgefahr mehr für den betreffenden Läufer, so daß die gefürchtete Schlagwirkung und der Peitscheneffekt bekannter, bisher verwendeter Slalomtore nicht mehr auftreten. Diese Schlagwirkung trat insbesondere beim Riesenslalom auf, wenn man herkömmliche Slalomtore verwendet hat. Die Erfindung kann aber für alle Slalomtore verwendet werden, beispielsweise auch für den normalen Slalom, für Abfahrten, für den Super-G-Slalom und für den Riesentorlauf.Due to the design of the slalom gate according to the invention, this can yield sufficiently and there is practically no longer any risk of injury to the runner in question, so that the dreaded impact and the whip effect of known, previously used slalom gates no longer occur. This impact was particularly pronounced in giant slalom when conventional slalom goals were used. The invention can, however, be used for all slalom goals, for example also for normal slalom, for downhill runs, for the Super-G slalom and for giant slalom.

Ein weiterer Vorteil der Erfindung besteht darin, daß das Ausflaggen leichter wird, weil der Abstand zwischen den beiden Torstangen in gewissen Grenzen variabel ist, abermals bedingt durch den oder die Gummizüge, über die die Flagge an der betreffenden Torstange befestigt ist. Schließlich bleibt die Flagge immer gespannt, ebenfalls bedingt durch die Gummizüge. Es wurde schon darauf hingewiesen, daß die Kippstange jetzt durch starken Wind nicht mehr gebogen werden kann, was ebenfalls vorteilhaft ist.Another advantage of the invention is that the flagging out is easier because the distance between the two goal bars is variable within certain limits, again due to the rubber band (s) by means of which the flag is attached to the relevant goal bar. After all, the flag always stays taut, also due to the elastic bands. It has already been pointed out that the tilting rod can no longer be bent by strong wind, which is also advantageous.

Im allgemeinen wird man den Gummizug an der starren Stange befestigen. Es ist aber auch die umgekehrte Anordnung möglich, bei der der Gummizug an der Kippstange befestigt ist oder es ist sogar die Flagge mit beiden Stange über derartige Gummizüge verbunden.Generally the elastic will be attached to the rigid rod. However, the reverse arrangement is also possible, in which the elastic band is fastened to the tilting rod, or the flag is even connected to both rods via such elastic bands.

Es kann vorkommen, daß der Fahrer zwischen beide Stangen gerät, wobei die Kippstange umkippt, so daß er mit seinem Körper die gespannte Flagge von den Torstangen abzustreifen sucht. Beim Stand der Technik war dies nicht möglich, weil die Flagge, im allgemeinen über Bänder, fest an beiden Torstangen befestigt war. Siehe die eingangs erwähnte Offenlegungsschrift 28 14 896.It may happen that the driver gets caught between the two poles, the tilting rod tipping over, so that the body stretches the tensioned flag from the gate poles tries to strip off. This was not possible in the prior art because the flag, generally via ribbons, was firmly attached to both goal posts. See published application 28 14 896.

Hier schafft die Erfindung dadurch Abhilfe, daß für die Befestigung der Flagge an der anderen Torlaufstange am betreffenden Ende der Flagge eine Aufnahme ausgebildet ist, in die das obere Ende der betreffencen Torlaufstange eingeschoben wird. Diese Aufnahme oder Tasche sorgt für eine einfache und leicht lösbare Verbindung der Flagge mit der betreffenden Torlaufstange, so daß der Läufer die Flagge von der betreffenden Torlaufstange (Kippstange) einfach nach oben abschieben kann. Diese Befestigung ist ausreichend, weil, wie erwähnt, über den Gummizug die Flagge ausreichend straff gespannt wird. Aus Vorstehendem ergibt sich ebenfalls, daß es vorteilhaft ist, wenn die Befestigung über den Gummizug an der starren Stange vorgesehen ist und die erwähnte Aufnahme oder Tasche an der Torstange mit dem Kippgelenk.Here, the invention remedies that a receptacle is formed at the relevant end of the flag for the attachment of the flag to the other door rail, into which the upper end of the relevant door rail is inserted. This receptacle or pocket ensures a simple and easily detachable connection of the flag to the relevant gate travel rod, so that the runner can simply push the flag upwards from the relevant gate travel rod (tilting rod). This attachment is sufficient because, as mentioned, the flag is stretched sufficiently taut via the elastic band. From the above it also follows that it is advantageous if the attachment via the elastic band is provided on the rigid rod and the aforementioned receptacle or pocket on the gate rod with the tilt joint.

Die Erfindung wird im folgenden anhand von Ausführungsbeispielen näher erläutert, aus denen sich weitere wichtige Merkmale ergeben. Es zeigt:

  • Fig. 1 - eine schematische Ansicht einer Torlaufstange nach der Erfindung bei einer ersten Ausführungsform;
  • Fig. 2 - eine Teilansicht der linken Torlaufstange nach Fig. 1 bei ein einer demgegenüber angeänderten Ausführungsform.
The invention is explained in more detail below on the basis of exemplary embodiments, from which further important features result. It shows:
  • Fig. 1 - a schematic view of a gate rail according to the invention in a first embodiment;
  • Fig. 2 - a partial view of the left gate rail according to Fig. 1 in a modified compared to an embodiment.

Das Slalomtor besteht aus einer linken, starren Torstange 21, einer rechten Torstange 15, die über ein Kippgelenk 13 kippbar ist, und einer Flagge 20.The slalom gate consists of a left, rigid gate bar 21, a right gate bar 15, which can be tilted via a tilt joint 13, and a flag 20.

Erfindungsgemäß ist die Flagge über Gummizüge 16, 17 mit einer der Torstangen 15, 21 verbunden. Fig. 1 zeigt, daß hierzu die Gummzüge über Ringe 18, 19 an dem betreffenden Ende der Flagge 20 befestigt sind. Sie sind dann durch das Innere der hohlen Torstange 21 geführt und im unteren Bereich der Torstange an dieser befestigt, beispielsweise an einem Befestigungsflansch 1.According to the invention, the flag is connected to one of the gate rods 15, 21 by means of elastic bands 16, 17. Fig. 1 shows that for this purpose the rubber cables are attached to the relevant end of the flag 20 via rings 18, 19. They are then guided through the interior of the hollow gate bar 21 and fastened to the gate bar in the lower region thereof, for example to a fastening flange 1.

Ein weiterer Gummizug 25 kann die Ringe 18, 19 mtieinander verbinden, um die Flagge auch in Richtung des Pfeiles 2 straff zu halten. Dieser Gummizug 25 ist aber nicht unbedingt notwendig.Another elastic band 25 can connect the rings 18, 19 to one another in order to keep the flag taut in the direction of the arrow 2. This elastic band 25 is not absolutely necessary.

Die Befestigung zwischen der Flagge und der rechten Torstange 15 erfolgt über eine Tasche oder Aufnahme 14 (Hohlsaum), so daß die Flagge lediglich von oben über die Torstange 15 geschoben werden muß. Stößt ein Skifahrer - bei geneigter Kippstange 15 - von unten an die untere Kante A der Flagge 20, so wird diese in Richtung des Pfeiles 2 von der Torstange 15 abgestreift.The attachment between the flag and the right goal bar 15 takes place via a pocket or receptacle 14 (hemstitch), so that the flag only has to be pushed over the goal bar 15 from above. If a skier encounters the lower edge A of the flag 20 from below, with the tilt rod 15 inclined, this is stripped off in the direction of arrow 2 by the gate rod 15.

Einer der Gummizüge 16, 17 kann schwächer sein als der andere, damit die Flagge bei Auftreten von Wind dort besonders gut nachgibt.One of the elastic bands 16, 17 can be weaker than the other, so that the flag yields there particularly well when wind occurs.

Fig. 2 zeigt eine zweite Ausführungsform, bei der man mit einem einzigen Gummizug 37 auskommt, der über eine Rolle 38 geführt ist, die an einem Befestigungselement 39 ähnlich dem Flansch 1 drehbar befestigt ist. Fig. 2 zeigt auch, daß der Gummizug durch seitliche Öffnungen in der Stange 21 nach außen geführt ist. Bei Pos. A und B in Fig. 2 sind die Anschlußstellen zur Flagge 20 angedeutet. Die Torstange in Fig. 2 trägt die Position 42.Fig. 2 shows a second embodiment, in which one gets by with a single elastic band 37, which is guided over a roller 38, which is attached to a fastening element 39 similar to the flange 1 is rotatably attached. Fig. 2 also shows that the elastic band is guided through lateral openings in the rod 21 to the outside. At positions A and B in Fig. 2, the connection points to the flag 20 are indicated. 2 has the position 42.

Weiterhin ist in Fig. 2 angedeutet, daß in der unteren Spitze 40 der Torstange 42 scheibenförmige Verankerungselemente 41 vorgesehen sind, die aus ihrer inaktiven, zeichnerisch dargestellten Lage nach außen verschwenkt werden, sobald die Torstange um ihre Achse in der einen oder anderen Richtung gedreht wird. Dies ist an und für sich bekannt.Furthermore, it is indicated in Fig. 2 that in the lower tip 40 of the gate bar 42 disk-shaped anchoring elements 41 are provided, which are pivoted out of their inactive, illustrated position as soon as the gate bar is rotated about its axis in one direction or the other . This is known in and of itself.

Die Spitze 40 mit dem Element 39 ist in das untere Ende des Rohres 42 eingesetzt und dort verschraubt, wie zeichnerisch angedeutet.The tip 40 with the element 39 is inserted into the lower end of the tube 42 and screwed there, as indicated in the drawing.

Es können auch herkömmliche Torstangen erfindungsgemäß nachgerüstet werden, wobei dann vorzugsweise eine dünnere Stange in das Rohr 42 von oben eingesetzt wird. In dieser dünneren Stange verläuft dann der Gummizug 37 oder die Gummizüge 16, 17. Die Befestigung der unteren Enden der Gummizüge an der dünneren Stange erfolgt vorzugsweise über ein das untere Ende der dünneren Stange abschließendes Plättchen mit Durchgangslöchern für die Enden der Gummizüge, die an den unteren Enden des Plättchen verknotet sind, so daß sie durch die Löcher nicht mehr hindurchrutschen können. Analog erfolgt die Befestigung bei einem einzigen Gummizug 37 nach Fig. 2. Die dünnere Stange wird im Paßsitz in das Rohr 42 eingeführt und dort klemmend gehalten, gegebenenfalls unterstützt durch eine Schraubverbindung oder dergleichen.Conventional gate bars can also be retrofitted according to the invention, in which case a thinner bar is then preferably inserted into the tube 42 from above. The elastic band 37 or the elastic bands 16, 17 then runs in this thinner rod. The lower ends of the elastic bands are preferably fastened to the thinner rod by means of a plate which closes off the lower end of the thinner rod and has through holes for the ends of the elastic bands which connect to the lower ends of the plate are knotted so that they can no longer slip through the holes. The attachment is similar to one single elastic band 37 according to FIG. 2. The thinner rod is inserted into the tube 42 in a snug fit and held there by clamping, optionally supported by a screw connection or the like.

Auch kann man bei der Befestigung gegebenenfalls auf die Ringe 18, 19 verzichten und die Löcher in der Torlaufstange im Bereich der Ringe können durch Gummipfropfen verschlossen werden, die im Bereich der Ringe oder anstelle der Ringe vorgesehen sind, damit kein Schnee in die Löcher eindringen kann.It is also possible, if necessary, to dispense with the rings 18, 19 and the holes in the gate rail in the area of the rings can be closed by rubber plugs provided in the area of the rings or instead of the rings, so that no snow can penetrate into the holes .

Anstelle der erwähnten dünneren Stange zum Nachrüsten herkömmlicher Torlaufstangen kann diese, zumindest über einen Teil ihrer Länge, auch als Stab ausgebildet sein. Wesentlich ist es, daß dieses Bauteil den oder die Gummizüge in den unteren Bereich der eigentlichen Torlaufstange führt und festlegt derart, daß die oberen Ende der Gummizüge seitlich aus der Torlaufstange herausgeführt werden können, wie zeichnerisch dargestellt.Instead of the thinner bar mentioned for retrofitting conventional door running bars, this can also be designed as a bar, at least over part of its length. It is essential that this component leads the rubber band (s) into the lower area of the actual door runner and defines such that the upper ends of the rubber bands can be led out laterally from the door runner, as shown in the drawing.
