Definitions
- the present invention concerns an ice hockey rink or similar arrangement that is intended to limit an ice arena and along at least one part of its length to include a transparent protective arrangement.
- the invention concerns also a transparent protective arrangement formed from a transparent sheet of preferably polycarbonate that is similar, at least to a certain extent, to flexible plastic material.
- Each section of dasher board includes principally a box-shaped lower base and a transparent upper protective part.
- the base which is that part of the section that is normally referred to as "dasher board”, principally includes a frame covered by plastic panels.
- the protective arrangement of the ice hockey rink is formed from transparent panels, of, for example, polycarbonate or a similar thermoplastic, which panels are arranged vertically on the lower base of the section of dasher board.
- a commonly found transparent rink protection for ice hockey has a height of between 0.8 and 2.0 metres, measured from the upper edge of the base, and in modern facilities is arranged to run continuously around the complete rink, with the exception of the players' benches, which open out onto the dasher board.
- the rink protection is intended to protect the spectators and officials from pucks, sticks and similar objects. It is the function of the rink protection also to prevent the spectators from throwing objects onto the ice.
- Old ice hockey rinks normally consist of a number of joined sections, each one of which can be regarded as an independent supporting unit with a lower box-shaped base that is attached to a support surface, and an upper protective part in the form of a transparent sheet placed on the base.
- the sheet that is a component of the protective part is enclosed by a U-shaped frame that is limited between vertical pillars that, in turn, are united with the frame of the base.
- the transparent upper protective sheets be placed "seamlessly", i.e. standing on their edges side-by-side on the dasher boards, without intermediate pillars.
- US 6004217 describes an ice hockey dasher board with a seamless design, whereby one transparent panel that is a component of each section of dasher board is mounted with one lower edge captivated in a longitudinal track or depression that is formed in the upper surface of the base.
- adjacent protective parts are joined to each other at the top, at the upper edges that meet, with the aid of clamps.
- Such modern rinks with seamless transparent protective panels thus lack vertical pillars and offer an unobstructed view for the spectators.
- the individual protective parts in each section being mutually joined to each other at their adjacent upper edges, a stable construction is obtained in which the force of an impact against the dasher board is distributed between the joined upper protective parts.
- An ice hockey rink must, of course, be constructed such that it demonstrates the stability required to withstand the force that can arise when a player is checked against the dasher board during the game, while it is at the same time important that the dasher board be so designed that it can brake with a flexible and energy-absorbent structure the energy from an impact, from, for example, a player who is checked against the dasher board in an unpropitious manner. This is necessary to prevent the risk of unnecessary injury to players during checking against the dasher board.
- the possibilities of limiting the risk of injury during play close to the dasher board are a topic that has long been discussed within ice hockey federations, and there is a desire that the risk of injury during close aggressive play close to the dasher board be reduced as much as possible.
- a first purpose of the invention is, therefore, to achieve an ice hockey rink of seamless type that satisfies the requirements for a combination of stability and an energy- absorbent structure that is flexible under impact and collision with the dasher board, such that it absorbs in a controlled manner the force from, for example, a player who is checked against the dasher boards.
- a second purpose is to achieve a transparent protective arrangement intended to be a component of the said ice hockey rink or of a section of dasher board that is a component of this rink.
- This first purpose of the invention is achieved through the ice hockey rink being given the features and characteristics that are specified in claim 1.
- the said second purpose of the invention is achieved through the transparent protective arrangement being given the features and characteristics that are specified in claim 6. Further characteristics of the invention are made clear by the non-independent claims.
- the present invention makes it possible to achieve a hockey rink of seamless type that demonstrates a combination of high stability and energy-absorbent structure on impact. Since the protective parts have a considerably lower thickness than previously, the protective parts are cheaper to manufacture, are of lower weight, and are easier to handle during not only mounting but also maintenance.
- Figure 1 shows a side view of a part of an ice hockey dasher board produced from joined sections of dasher board with a protective arrangement according to the invention
- Figure 2 shows an enlargement of a longitudinal section through a part of the protective arrangement, viewed along the line ll-ll in Figure 1 ,
- Figure 3 shows a transverse section through a part of the protective arrangement, viewed along the line Ill-Ill in Figure 1 ,
- Figure 4 shows a transverse section through a part of the protective arrangement, viewed along the line IV-IV in Figure 1 , and
- Figure 5 shows schematically in a perspective view how sections of protective parts are joined in order to form a continuous upper transparent protective arrangement.
- Figure 1 shows schematically a section of dasher board 1 , of the type that is used to form a surrounding ice hockey rink intended to separate a surface or arena of ice from the surrounding spectator areas.
- the ice hockey rink is formed in known manner from a number of joined straight and curved sections 1a, 1 b of dasher board.
- the free edge of the section of dasher board, denoted by 2 constitutes a part of the dasher board that limits an opening in the board, such as at a door or similar.
- Each section of dasher board 1a, 1 b is essentially built up from a box-shaped lower base 3 and a transparent upper protective part 4 with a transparent sheet of flexible plastic material, preferably of polycarbonate or similar transparent thermoplastic material with high flexibility.
- thermoplastic sheet have a thickness of approximately 8 mm, which is only half of the thickness of the hardened glass that has previously been used for protective arrangements of seamless type, and this means that the weight of a normal protective part 4 for an ice hockey rink will be only one third of that of prior art protective parts.
- poly(methyl methacrylate), also known as "plexiglass” be used as material for the protective part, but it lacks the desired flexibility.
- the protective part 4 is flexibly joined with the base 3, standing on the upper edge of the base, through one of its side edges 4a being inserted from above and captivated in a track 5 or groove at the upper part of the base 3.
- the side edge 4a of the protective part is, in other words, so captivated in the horizontal upper edge of the base 3 that the protective part can bend outwards away from the arena when impacted (denoted by "F” in Figure 3).
- the base 3 consists of a frame 6 with a cover 7 of plastic material, for example polyethene, that is affixed by means of screws 8 (see also Figure 2).
- the frame 6 can be constituted by any suitable material, such as pressure-impregnated wood, hot-galvanised steel tubing, or aluminium, and it is attached to a support surface, such as a concrete floor.
- the transparent upper protective part 4 for each section of dasher board 1a, 1 b is identical, independently of whether the section of dasher board is intended to form a continuous extended part of the rink or an end part that is intended to limit an opening in the dasher board at a door or similar.
- the attachment of the protective part 4 to the base 3 does, however, differ somewhat, depending on whether the protective part limits an opening or not, as will be described in more detail below.
- the section 1a of dasher board in Figure 1 illustrates such an intermediate section of dasher board, while the second section 1b of dasher board illustrates an end part of the dasher board.
- the upper protective part 4 that is a component of each section of dasher board 1a
- the protective part demonstrates an essentially plane principal surface 12, to which longitudinal stiffeners 13, 13' are assigned at opposite side edges. These stiffeners 13, 13' are formed through a part of the relevant side edge being folded at a right angle from the principal surface.
- the stiffeners 13, 13' are intended to point in a direction out from the centre of the arena when the protective part 4 has been mounted.
- the stiffeners 13, 13' have been bent with such a small radius of curvature that the side of the protective part that faces in towards the centre of the arena is experienced as completely smooth, without the appearance of any joints between the protective panels 4.
- the stiffening edge stiffeners 13, 13' that are an integral part of the transparent protective part 4 thus have the task of supporting the protective part 4 and providing the relatively thin protective part with an increased resistance to bending away from the arena, as is shown in Figure 3.
- This bending is a bending of the protective part 4 from a base plane that is denoted X-Y in Figure 5.
- the edge stiffeners 13, 13' have the advantage that the protective part 4 can be provided with different flexibilities through the choice of a suitable construction and design of the edge stiffeners. It is a characteristic of the invention that the force-absorbing properties of the protective part 4 differ between deformation or bending of the same in different directions, i.e. depending on whether the protective part is bent through the influence of an impact in the longitudinal direction (i.e. along a line that is parallel with the longitudinal direction of the dasher board, X-X in Figure 5) or an impact in the transverse direction (sideways, i.e. along a line that is perpendicular to the longitudinal direction of the dasher board, Y-Y in Figure 5).
- the protective part 4 demonstrates, through the vertical edge stiffeners 13, 13', a lower rigidity in the transverse direction than in the longitudinal direction Y-Y.
- the protective part 4 will be bent outwards from the base plane X-Y with a relatively large resistance to bending, with respect to the affixation of the protective part at the top of the horizontal edge of the base 3.
- the protective part 4 will bulge out from the centre of the arena with a relatively small resistance to bending along a line Y-Y that is perpendicular to the longitudinal direction of the dasher board in the manner that is illustrated in Figure 5.
- An extended stiffening element is denoted by 14.
- the free edge 2 at the end of the dasher board obtains the required stability through the interaction between the edge stiffener 13' and the stiffening element 14.
- the protective part 4 is given different rigidities in the longitudinal and transverse directions through the varying profile that is offered by the edge-stiffening folds when the protective part is viewed in a transverse section. Since the stiffeners 13, 13' are formed through folding of the edge parts, however, the cross-sectional area of the protective part 4 will be essentially unchanged, while the existing material in the panel has simply been redistributed by the folding operation. Due to the ability of the present protective part 4 to form an arch in a bulge out from the arena when force is applied from an impact, it should be realised that the kinetic energy of an ice hockey player who is checked against the dasher board will be gradually braked through the protective part 4 having the ability both to bend and to bulge outwards from the centre of the arena.
- the protective parts 4 be joined in a line with the adjacent longitudinal stiffeners 13, 13' supporting each other edge-to-edge.
- the stiffeners 13, 13' thus serve at the same time also as jointing parts which, due to the significant support surface that is obtained through the folding, facilitates the joining and mounting of adjacent protective parts.
- a series of holes 15 has been created in the stiffeners 13, 13' for the joining of the protective parts 4 (see also Figure 2).
- the holes 15 are located at a distance from each other along the length of the relevant stiffener 13, 13'.
- the stiffeners 13, 13' are joined through contact at their edges that are in contact by means of anchoring means 16, which in the embodiment described here are constituted by screws and their associated nuts.
- the anchoring means 16 may be constituted by any suitable means such as, for example, pegs, spring-loaded clamps with a locking pin intended to extend through the holes 15, or similar.
- the anchoring means 16 are arranged to extend through two holes located opposite to each other in adjacent stiffeners 13, 13' for a particular protective part 4. Adjacent protective parts 4 are secured to each other though the nut being applied to the screw with a pre-determined force, which ensures that adjacent stiffeners 13, 13' of neighbouring joined protective parts 4 are in close contact with each other.
- the anchoring means 16 thus ensures that adjacent stiffeners 13, 13', and consequently also the protective parts 4, are joined in a direction of tension from each other, viewed in the longitudinal direction of the dasher board.
- the ice hockey dasher board must be provided with a number of openings along its length, at, for example, the players' benches and in order to make the arena available for, for example, an ice machine. Since such an open part of the section of dasher board has a free edge 2 that is not connected with an adjacent section of dasher board, it must be given a higher stiffness and stability than other intermediate sections of dasher board.
- Such a protective part 4 is shown in more detail in Figure 5, where one stiffened edge 13' of the protective part constitutes a free edge 2 at an opening in the dasher board, such as at a door.
- the free edge 2 is provided with a somewhat higher rigidity along its longitudinal direction, considered from the centre of the arena (see Figure 3), than the stiffened edges 13, 13' of other protective parts 4 of the dasher board.
- the free stiffener 13' of the protective part 4 which stiffener faces the opening, has been given an extended stiffening element 14 in the form of an angled rod or similar, in order to achieve stiffness.
- the stiffening element 14 extends parallel to the edge stiffener 13' of the protective part 14 and is joined to it by means of anchoring means 16 in the form of screws and their associated nuts, inserted into holes 15 (see also Figure 4).
