Description

Die Erfindung betrifft einen Trapezverschluss für ein Trapez zum Kitesurfen, Windsurfen oder Segeln gemäß dem Oberbegriff des Patentanspruches 1 und ein mit einem derartigen Trapezverschluss versehenes Trapez.The invention relates to a trapeze for a harness for kitesurfing, windsurfing or sailing according to the preamble of claim 1 and provided with such a trapezoidal trapeze.

Mit derartigen Trapezverschlüssen versehene Trapeze können als Hüfttrapez oder als Sitztrapez ausgeführt sein und haben üblicher Weise einen Trapezhaken, der an einem Frontbügel oder einer Frontplatte befestigt ist. An dieser Frontplatte ist ein Gurt mit einem gepolsterten Rückenteil angelascht, das im Bereich der Lendenwirbelsäule mit Pads oder dergleichen versehen ist. Da beispielsweise beim Kitesurfen die über den Kite eingeleiteten Kräfte relativ stark in Vertikalrichtung wirken, ist es insbesondere bei Hüfttrapezen wichtig, dass diese gut sitzen. Dementsprechend muss das Trapez relativ straff an den Körper angelegt werden, um ein Verrutschen zu verhindern. Um dieses Anlegen zu vereinfachen, haben Trapeze üblicherweise einen Trapezverschluss, bei dem ein karabinerartiges Element in eine Öse eingehängt wird, wobei durch verstellbare Gurte zwischen der Platte bzw. dem Frontbügel und dem Rückenteil eine Anpassung an den Hüftumfang ermöglicht ist.Trapezoids provided with such trapezoidal closures may be in the form of a hip trapeze or seat harness, and usually have a harness hook attached to a front bar or faceplate. On this front panel, a strap with a padded back is lashed, which is provided in the lumbar spine with pads or the like. Since, for example, when kitesurfing the forces introduced via the kite act relatively strong in the vertical direction, it is important, especially in Hüfttrapezen that they sit well. Accordingly, the trapezoid must be relatively tightly applied to the body to prevent slipping. To facilitate this application Trapeze usually have a trapezoidal closure, in which a karabinerartiges element is hung in an eyelet, with adjustable straps between the plate or the front bar and the back part adaptation to the hip circumference is possible.

Problematisch dabei ist, dass der Karabiner mit relativ viel Kraft in die Öse eingehängt werden muss, um das exakte Anliegen des Trapezes an der Hüfte zu gewährleisten. Insbesondere problematisch ist auch das Lösen dieses Verschlusses, da zum Lösen des Karabiners entsprechend eine Vorspannung aufgebracht werden muss, um den Karabiner aushängen zu können.The problem with this is that the carabiner must be hung with relatively much force into the eyelet to ensure the exact concerns of the trapezoid at the hip. Particularly problematic is the release of this closure, as to release the carabiner according to a bias must be applied to unhook the carabiner can.

In der DE 20 2004 006 143 U1 ist eine Lösung erläutert, bei der der Karabinerhaken über eine Federlasche an der Öse gesichert ist und mittels einer Handhabe aus seiner Verriegelungsposition in eine Freigabeposition bringbar ist. Konkret kann diese Handhabe als Zuglasche ausgeführt sein, über die der Surfer eine vergleichsweise große Kraft zum Lösen aufbringen kann.In the DE 20 2004 006 143 U1 is explained a solution in which the snap hook is secured by a spring tab on the eyelet and can be brought by means of a handle from its locking position into a release position. Specifically, this handle can be designed as a pull tab over which the surfer can muster a relatively large force to release.

Problematisch ist jedoch auch bei dieser Variante, dass das Einhängen des Karabiners in die Öse immer noch schwierig ist, da zum Schließen die Hand zwischen den Karabiner und den Körper gebracht werden muss, um die erforderliche Zugkraft aufbringen zu können.However, a problem with this variant is that the hooking of the carabiner into the eyelet is still difficult, since the hand has to be brought between the carabiner and the body in order to be able to apply the required pulling force.

Viele Surfer lockern daher zum Anziehen die Gurtbänder, hängen dann den Trapezverschluss ein und ziehen danach wieder die Gurtbänder fest - diese Vorgehensweise ist sehr umständlich.Many surfers therefore loosen up the straps to put on the clothes, then hang the trapeze and then tighten the straps again - this procedure is very cumbersome.

In der NL 1 029 515 C1 ist ein gattungsgemäßer Trapezverschluss gezeigt, der über einen schwenkbaren Schließhebel verfügt, der zum Verspannen in Wirkeingriff mit einer Öse bringbar ist. Auch bei dieser Lösung muss der Schließhebel beim Einhängen der Öse gehalten werden, so dass die Handhabung umständlich ist.In the NL 1 029 515 C1 a generic trapezoidal closure is shown, which has a pivotable closing lever, which can be brought to bracing in operative engagement with an eyelet. Even with this solution, the locking lever must be kept when hanging the eyelet, so that the handling is cumbersome.

Demgegenüber liegt der Erfindung die Aufgabe zugrunde, einen Trapezverschluss und ein damit ausgeführtes Trapez zu schaffen, bei dem die Handhabung erleichtert ist.In contrast, the invention has for its object to provide a trapezoidal closure and a trapezoidal designed so that the handling is easier.

Diese Aufgabe wird durch einen Trapezverschluss mit den Merkmalen des Patentanspruches 1 und durch einen mit einem derartigen Trapezverschluss ausgeführten Trapezgurt gemäß Patentanspruch 14 gelöst.This object is achieved by a trapezoidal closure with the features of claim 1 and by a running with such a trapezoidal closure trapezoidal according to claim 14.

Erfindungsgemäß hat der Trapezverschluss Einrichtungen, beispielsweise Ösen zum Ankoppeln des eigentlichen Trapezgurtes sowie ein Schließstück, das in Verriegelungseingriff mit einem etwa ringförmigen Rückhalteelement bringbar ist. Dieses Schließstück kann in eine Einhängeposition verbracht werden, in der das Rückhalteelement lagegesichert, aber noch nicht in seine Schließposition vorgespannt ist. Erfindungsgemäß kann das Schließstück dann aus dieser Einhängeposition in eine Schließposition verstellt werden, in der das Rückhaltelement mit dem Schließstück verspannt ist, so dass die gestreckte Länge des Trapezverschlusses in der Einhängeposition deutlich größer als in der Schließposition ist.According to the trapezoidal closure devices, such as eyelets for coupling the actual Trapezgurtgurtes and a closing piece, which can be brought into locking engagement with an approximately annular retaining element. This locking piece can be brought into a hooking position in which the retaining element is secured in position, but not yet biased into its closed position. According to the invention, the closing piece can then be adjusted from this hooking position into a closed position in which the retaining element is clamped to the closing piece, so that the stretched length of the trapezoidal closure in the hanging position is significantly greater than in the closed position.

Dieses Trapezverschlusskonzept ermöglicht es, zunächst das Rückhalteelement mit geringer Kraft in das Schließstück einzuhängen, so dass der Trapezgurt lagefixiert ist. Die für das korrekte Anlegen des Trapezes erforderliche Spannkraft wird dann durch Verstellen des Schließstückes in seine Schließposition aufgebracht, so dass der Komfort beim Schließen und Öffnen des Trapezverschlusses gegenüber den herkömmlichen Lösungen deutlich verbessert ist.This trapezoidal closure concept makes it possible to first mount the retaining element with little force in the closing piece, so that the trapezoidal belt is fixed in position. The required for the correct application of the trapezoid clamping force is then applied by adjusting the closing piece in its closed position, so that the Comfort when closing and opening the trapezoidal closure over the conventional solutions is significantly improved.

Bei einem Ausführungsbeispiel der Erfindung ist das Schließstück als Schwenkhebel ausgeführt, der um eine Schwenkachse verschwenkbar an einer Basis gelagert ist, wobei an einem ersten Endabschnitt des Schwenkhebels ein Einhängehaken ausgebildet ist. Bei einer Variante kann an einem zweiten Endabschnitt ein Schließhaken ausgebildet sein. Eine Schwenkachse ist im Abstand zum Einhängehaken bzw. im Bereich zwischen dem Einhängehaken und dem Schließhaken angeordnet.In one embodiment of the invention, the closing piece is designed as a pivot lever, which is mounted pivotably about a pivot axis on a base, wherein at a first end portion of the pivot lever, a hook is formed. In a variant, a closing hook may be formed at a second end portion. A pivot axis is arranged at a distance to the hook or in the area between the hook and the closing hook.

Zur Lagefixierung des Schließstückes in der Schließstellung wird erfindungsgemäß eine sonstige lösbare Sicherung, beispielsweise eine Verrastung oder dergleichen vorgesehen.To fix the position of the closing piece in the closed position, another releasable securing, for example a latching or the like, is provided according to the invention.

Erfindungsgemäß wird es bevorzugt, wenn der Abstand des Einhängehakens zur Schwenkachse größer ist als der Abstand des Schließhakens zur Schwenkachse, so dass der Schwenkhebel sozusagen mit einem längeren und einem kürzeren Hebelarm ausgeführt ist. Der längere Hebelarm ist beim Einhängen wirksam, während der kürzere Hebelarm die Spannposition bestimmt.According to the invention, it is preferred if the distance of the suspension hook to the pivot axis is greater than the distance of the closing hook to the pivot axis, so that the pivot lever is designed so to speak with a longer and a shorter lever arm. The longer lever arm is effective when hanging, while the shorter lever arm determines the clamping position.

Der Spannweg kann bspw. mehr als 10 mm, vorzugsweise etwa 30 mm betragen
Der Aufbau des Trapezverschlusses ist besonders einfach, wenn die Haken etwa U-förmig auf einander zu gerichtet sind.The tensioning path can be, for example, more than 10 mm, preferably about 30 mm
The structure of the trapezoidal closure is particularly simple when the hooks are approximately U-shaped towards each other.

Das Rückhaltestück kann dann beim Verschwenken des Schwenkhebels entlang diesem von der Einhängeposition hin zur Schließposition abgleiten.The retaining piece can then slide during the pivoting of the pivot lever along this from the hooking position to the closed position.

Um ein versehentliches Lösen des Schwenkhebels aus der Schließposition zu vermeiden, kann dieser in der Schließposition zwischen zwei Abweiservorsprüngen der Basis eintauchen.To avoid accidental release of the pivot lever from the closed position, this can dip in the closed position between two Abweiservorsprüngen the base.

Der Schwenkhebel kann an einer Konsole gelagert sein, an der der Schwenkhebel in der Schließstellung anliegt, so dass die Schwenkachse nicht mit übermäßigen Zugkräften beaufschlagt ist.The pivot lever may be mounted on a console, on which the pivot lever rests in the closed position, so that the pivot axis is not subjected to excessive tensile forces.

Bei einer alternativen Lösung ist der Trapezverschluss als Drehknebel ausgebildet. Konkret ist dann das Schließstück als drehbar gelagerter Exzenter ausgebildet, der vom ringförmigen Rückhalteelement umgriffen ist, so dass es mit einem Innenumfangsabschnitt an einem Außenumfangsabschnitt des Exzenters anliegt.In an alternative solution, the trapezoidal closure is designed as a rotary knob. Specifically, then the closing piece is designed as a rotatably mounted eccentric, which is encompassed by the annular retaining element, so that it rests with an inner peripheral portion on an outer peripheral portion of the eccentric.

Die Drehachse des Exzenters ist so gewählt, dass in der Einhängeposition der Abstand des Innenumfangsabschnittes des ringförmigen Rückhalteelements zur Drehachse kleiner ist als in der Schließposition. Durch Verdrehen des Exzenters kann so die erforderliche Spannkraft vergleichsweise komfortabel aufgebracht werden.The axis of rotation of the eccentric is selected so that in the hanging position, the distance of the inner peripheral portion of the annular retaining element to the axis of rotation is smaller than in the closed position. By turning the eccentric so the required clamping force can be applied comparatively comfortable.

Um das Drehen zu erleichtern, kann der Exzenter mit einer Handhabe ausgeführt werden.To facilitate turning, the eccentric can be performed with a handle.

Auch bei dieser Variante kann ein versehentliches Lösen vermieden werden, wenn schließstückseitig ein Anschlag vorgesehen ist, der in der Sperrposition so dicht am Exzenter angeordnet ist, dass ein Lösen des Rückhalteelements aus seiner Umschlingungsposition am Exzenter verhindert ist.In this variant, an accidental release can be avoided if a stopper is provided on the closing side, which is arranged in the locking position so close to the eccentric that a loosening of the retaining element is prevented from its Umschlingungsposition on the eccentric.

Die Lagefixierung des ring- oder ösenförmigen Rückhalteelements ist besonders einfach, wenn am Außenumfang des Exzenters eine Nut zur abschnittsweisen Aufnahme des Innenumfangs des Rückhalteelements ausgebildet ist.The fixing of the position of the ring-shaped or eye-shaped retaining element is particularly simple if a groove is formed on the outer circumference of the eccentric for receiving the inner circumference of the retaining element in sections.

Bei einem sehr kompakten Ausführungsbeispiel der Erfindung ist das Schließstück an einer Platte befestigt, an der auch der Trapezhaken festgelegt ist.In a very compact embodiment of the invention, the striker is attached to a plate on which the harness hook is fixed.

Das Rückhalteelement kann vorzugsweise mit Ösen für ein verstellbares Gurtband zur Anpassung an den Körperumfang versehen sein. In entsprechender Weise ist auch die Platte mit Ösen ausgeführt.The retaining element may preferably be provided with eyelets for an adjustable webbing for adaptation to the body circumference. In a similar way, the plate is executed with eyelets.

Das Rückhalteelement ist vorzugsweise als weitestgehend geschlossener Ringkörper ausgebildet, der in den Schwenkhebel einhängbar ist oder aber der den Exzenter umschlingen kann. Dabei wird eine flächige Anlage zwischen Schließkörper und Rückhalteelement erreicht, so dass durch diesen Formschluss eine Torsion (Verwindung) des Trapezverschlusses vermindert werden kann.The retaining element is preferably formed as a largely closed annular body which can be suspended in the pivot lever or the the Can wrap around the eccentric. In this case, a flat contact between the closing body and retaining element is achieved, so that torsion (twisting) of the trapezoidal closure can be reduced by this form-fit.

Die Herstellung des Trapezverschlusses ist besonders einfach, wenn das Rückhalteelement, das Schließstück, die Platte und vorzugsweise auch der Trapezhaken aus Kunststoff, vorzugsweise in Spritzgießtechnik ausgeführt sind.The manufacture of the trapezoidal closure is particularly simple when the retaining element, the closing piece, the plate and preferably also the trapezoidal hook made of plastic, preferably executed in injection molding.

  • FIG. 1 shows a greatly simplified representation of a trapezoidal belt, which is designed as a hip harness 1. This has a hip belt 2, with a back part 4, which can be performed in the lumbar region with pads and / or suitable padding. This hip belt 2 encloses the hip area on the back and sides. On the front side via adjustable straps 6, 8, a front bar or a front plate 10 is arranged on which a harness hook 12 is fixed. In this harness hook 12, for example, a chicken loop can be hung.

Zum Anziehen des Hüfttrapezes 1 lässt sich der Hüftgurt 2 mittels eines Trapezverschlusses öffnen, der im Folgenden Verschluss 14 genannt wird.To tighten the Hüfttrapezes 1, the hip belt 2 can be opened by means of a trapezoidal closure, which is hereinafter referred to closure 14.

In der Darstellung gemäß Figur 1 sind die Gurtbänder 6, 8 stark vereinfacht dargestellt - in der Praxis besteht jedes Gurtband 6, 8 aus mehreren Gurtsträngen, die einerseits mit dem Hüftgurt 2 vernäht sind und andererseits jeweils in Endbeschläge 16, 18 eingeschlauft sind. Der Endbeschlag 16 ist direkt an die Frontplatte 10 angebunden sind und der Endbeschlag 18 ist integral mit einem Rückhalteelement 38 des Verschlusses 14 ausgeführt. Die Länge der Gurtbänder 6, 8 lässt sich über nicht dargestellte Verstelleinrichtungen einstellen, so dass die Frontplatte 10 mittig angeordnet werden kann.In the illustration according to FIG. 1 are the straps 6, 8 shown greatly simplified - in practice, each strap 6, 8 consists of several Gurtsträngen sewn on the one hand with the hip belt 2 and on the other hand in each Endbeschläge 16, 18 are running. The end fitting 16 is directly connected to the front panel 10 and the end fitting 18 is formed integrally with a retaining element 38 of the closure 14. The length of the straps 6, 8 can be adjusted by means not shown adjustment, so that the front panel 10 can be arranged centrally.

Zum Einschlaufen der Gurtbänder 6, 8 sind die Endbeschläge 16, 18 mit Schlitzen 20, 22 versehen, deren Stege vom jeweiligen Gurtband 6, 8 umschlungen werden.For looping in the straps 6, 8, the end fittings 16, 18 are provided with slots 20, 22, the webs of the respective webbing 6, 8 are wrapped.

Der Grundaufbau des Verschlusses 14 erschließt sich besonders gut aus der Draufsicht in Figur 2. Demgemäß ist an der Frontplatte 10 eine Konsole 24 ausgebildet, an der ein Schwenkhebel 26 drehbar um eine Schwenkachse 28 gelagert ist. Gemäß der Vorderansicht in Figur 1 hat diese Konsole 24 zwei Konsolenschenkel 30a, 30b, zwischen denen der Schwenkhebel 26 aufgenommen ist und die von der Schwenkachse 28 durchsetzt sind.The basic structure of the closure 14 opens particularly well from the top view in FIG. 2 , Accordingly, a bracket 24 is formed on the front panel 10, on which a pivot lever 26 is rotatably mounted about a pivot axis 28. According to the front view in FIG. 1 this console 24 has two console legs 30a, 30b, between which the pivot lever 26 is received and which are penetrated by the pivot axis 28.

Der Schwenkhebel hat ein im weitesten Sinn U-förmiges Profil, wobei an den Endabschnitten einerseits ein Einhängehaken 32 und andererseits ein Schließhaken 34 ausgebildet ist, die aufeinander zu weisen. die Der Schwenkhebel 26 ist dabei etwas über den Einhängehaken 32 hinaus zu einem Griffteil 36 verlängert. In diesen Einhängehaken 32 wird in einer Einhängeposition des Trapezverschlusses 14 ein Rückhalteelement 38 eingehängt, das beim dargestellten Ausführungsbeispiel einstückig mit dem Endbeschlag 18 ausgebildet ist. Wie man in der Darstellung gemäß Figur 1 sehen kann, ist in der Einhängeposition der Abstand A zwischen dem ringförmigen Rückhalteelement 38 und der Schwenkachse 28 relativ groß, so dass entsprechend der Umfang des Hüfttrapezes 1 maximal ist. Die Gurtbandlänge ist dabei so eingestellt, dass das Hüfttrapez 1 in der in Figur 1 dargestellten Position vom Surfer ohne Schwierigkeiten zu schließen ist.The pivot lever has a U-shaped profile in the broadest sense, wherein at the end portions on the one hand a hooks 32 and on the other hand, a closing hook 34 is formed, which face each other. The pivot lever 26 is something extended beyond the hooks 32 out to a handle portion 36. In this suspension hook 32, a retaining element 38 is suspended in a hooking position of the trapezoidal closure 14, which is formed integrally with the end fitting 18 in the illustrated embodiment. As in the presentation according to FIG. 1 can see, in the suspension position, the distance A between the annular retaining member 38 and the pivot axis 28 is relatively large, so that according to the circumference of the Hüfttrapezes 1 is maximum. The strap length is adjusted so that the hip trapeze 1 in the in FIG. 1 shown position of surfer without difficulty to close.

In dieser Einhängeposition wird das Hüfttrapez 1 jedoch lediglich lose an der Hüfte gehalten. Zum Spannen wird dann gemäß den Figuren 3 und 4 der Schwenkhebel 26 um die Schwenkachse 28 um etwa 180° in seine Spannstellung verschwenkt. Dabei schwenkt der vergleichsweise lange Teilabschnitt des Schwenkhebels 26, der mit dem Einhängehaken 32 versehen ist, in der Darstellung gemäß Figur 2 zunächst nach unten, hin zur Frontplatte 10, während der kürzere Teil des Schwenkhebels mit dem Schließhaken 34 in die Konsole 24, d.h. in den Bereich zwischen den beiden Konsolenteilen 30a und 30b einschwenkt. Dieses Verschwenken erfolgt über das Griffteil 36, das vom Surfer relativ einfach zu erreichen ist. Bei dem Verschwenken gleitet das ringartige Rückhalteelement 38 entlang einer Basis 40 des Schwenkhebels 26 ab bis es in Anlage an den umgeschwenkten Schließhaken 34 gelangt - diese Relativposition ist in den Figuren 3 und 4 dargestellt.In this suspension position, however, the hip trapeze 1 is held only loosely at the hip. For clamping is then according to the FIGS. 3 and 4 the pivot lever 26 is pivoted about the pivot axis 28 by about 180 ° in its clamping position. In this case, pivots the comparatively long portion of the pivot lever 26, which is provided with the hooks 32, in the illustration according to FIG. 2 initially down, towards the front panel 10, while the shorter part of the pivoting lever with the locking hook 34 in the console 24, ie in the area between the two console parts 30a and 30b pivots. This pivoting takes place via the grip part 36, which is relatively easy to reach by the surfer. During the pivoting, the ring-like retaining element 38 slides along a base 40 of the pivoting lever 26 until it comes into contact with the swung-over closing hook 34 - this relative position is in the FIGS. 3 and 4 shown.

In dieser Schließposition liegt das Rückhalteelement 38 auch oder im Wesentlichen an einer durch die Konsolenteile 30a, 30 gebildeten Hohlkehle 62 an, so dass keine oder nur geringe Spannkräfte in die Schwenkachse 28 eingeleitet werden. Zum Verriegeln der Schwenkstellung des Schwenkhakens 26 ist an der Frontplatte 10 eine Rastnase 42 vorgesehen, die mit dem Einhängehaken 32 verrastet, so dass dieser an der Frontplatte 10 lagegesichert ist. Zum Öffnen kann diese Verrasterung durch Rückverschwenken des Schwenkhebels 26 über das Griffteil 36 gelöst werden. Die Hebellänge des Schwenkhebels 26 ist vergleichsweise groß, so dass auch von einem körperlich schwächeren Surfer ohne Weiteres die zum Festlegen des Trapezgurtes erforderliche Spannkraft aufgebracht werden kann. Wie gesagt, beträgt der Spannweg etwa 30 mm.In this closed position, the retaining element 38 is also or substantially abutting a groove 62 formed by the console parts 30a, 30, so that no or only slight clamping forces are introduced into the pivot axis 28. To lock the pivoting position of the pivot hook 26, a latching lug 42 is provided on the front panel 10, which latches with the hooks 32, so that it is secured in position on the front panel 10. To open this Verrasterung can be solved by pivoting back the pivot lever 26 via the handle portion 36. The lever length of the pivot lever 26 is comparatively large, so that even from a physically weaker surfer readily to set the Trapezgurtes required clamping force can be applied. As I said, the clamping distance is about 30 mm.

In Figur 4 gestrichelt angedeutet ist des Weiteren noch ein Klettverschluss 48, über den der Gurt 2 vorfixiert werden kann und der auch verhindert, dass die vergleichsweise harte Frontplatte 10 direkt am Körper anliegt.In FIG. 4 indicated by dashed lines is also a Velcro fastener 48, via which the belt 2 can be pre-fixed and also prevents the comparatively hard front panel 10 is applied directly to the body.

Figur 5 zeigt eine Variante des Ausführungsbeispiels gemäß den Figuren 1 bis 4. Diese zeigt eine Detaildraufsicht auf den Verschluss 14 in der Schließposition. Bei diesem Ausführungsbeispiel sind an der Frontplatte 10, die üblicher Weise mittig von einem Neoprenschutz überdeckt ist, zwei Abweiservorsprünge 44, 46 ausgebildet, zwischen die der Einhängehaken 32 mit dem Griffteil 36 eintaucht, so dass ein versehentliches Öffnen, beispielsweise durch Hängenbleiben des Griffteils 36 an einer Leine oder dergleichen verhindert ist. FIG. 5 shows a variant of the embodiment according to the FIGS. 1 to 4 , This shows a detailed plan view of the closure 14 in the closed position. In this embodiment, two Abweiservorsge 44, 46 are formed on the front panel 10, which is usually covered in the middle of a neoprene, between which the suspension hook 32 dips with the handle portion 36 so that accidental opening, for example by snagging the handle portion 36 at a leash or the like is prevented.

Erfindungsgemäß ist es bevorzugt, wenn die Frontplatte 10, die Endbeschläge 16, 18, der Schwenkhebel 26 und die sonstigen Elemente des Verschlusses sowie vorzugsweise auch der Trapezhaken 12 aus Kunststoff hergestellt sind, so dass die Fertigung äußerst einfach ist. Selbstverständlich kommen dabei nur hochwertige verstärkte Kunststoffmaterialien zum Einsatz, die die beim Windsurfen oder Kitesurfen auftretenden Kräfte aufnehmen können.According to the invention it is preferred if the front panel 10, the end fittings 16, 18, the pivot lever 26 and the other elements of the closure and preferably also of the harness hooks 12 are made of plastic, so that the production is extremely simple. Of course, only high-quality reinforced plastic materials are used, which can absorb the forces that occur during windsurfing or kitesurfing.

In der Darstellung gemäß Figur 6 ist die Konstruktion gemäß Figur 5 in geöffnetem Zustand gezeigt. Man erkennt deutlich das in den Einhängehaken 32 eingehängte ringförmige Rückhalteelement 38 und den nach oben vorstehenden Schließhaken 34 des Schwenkhebels 26, der aus den beiden Konsolenteilen 30a, 30b vorsteht; letztere sind von der Schwenkachse 28 durchsetzt. Rechts daneben sind die Abweiservorsprünge 44, 46 sichtbar, die zur Gewichtsminimierung mit einem Durchbruch versehen sind, so dass der Rasthaken 42 sichtbar ist.In the illustration according to FIG. 6 is the construction according to FIG. 5 shown in the open state. It can be seen clearly in the suspension hook 32 hinged annular retaining element 38 and the upwardly projecting locking hook 34 of the pivot lever 26, which protrudes from the two console parts 30a, 30b; the latter are penetrated by the pivot axis 28. Right next to the Abweiservorsprünge 44, 46 are visible, which are provided to minimize weight with an opening, so that the latching hook 42 is visible.

Anhand der Figuren 7 bis 10 wird ein Ausführungsbeispiel eines Gurtes 2 erläutert, bei dem der Trapezverschluss 14 als Excenterverschluss ausgeführt ist. Der Grundaufbau des Trapezgurtes mit seinem Hüftgurt 2, der Trapezplatte 10, dem Trapezhaken 12 und den Endbeschlägen 16, 18 zur Verstellung des Hüftgurtumfangs entspricht dem vorbeschriebenen Ausführungsbeispiel, so dass auf diese Ausführung verwiesen werden kann.Based on FIGS. 7 to 10 an embodiment of a belt 2 is explained, in which the trapezoidal closure 14 is designed as an eccentric closure. The basic structure of the trapezoidal belt with his waist belt 2, the trapezoidal plate 10, the Harp hook 12 and the end fittings 16, 18 for adjusting the Hüftgurtumfangs corresponds to the above-described embodiment, so that reference can be made to this embodiment.

In der Darstellung gemäß den Figuren 7 und 8 ist der Excenterverschluss 14 in seiner Einhängeposition dargestellt, in der er an der Hüfte des Surfers vorpositioniert werden kann. Im Anschluss erfolgt dann das im Folgenden beschriebene Spannen des Trapezverschlusses 14. Einzelheiten des Verschlusses 14 werden anhand der Figuren 9 und 10 erläutert. Dabei zeigt Figur 9 den Verschluss 14 in der auch in den Figuren 7 und 8 dargestellten Einhängeposition. In Figur 8 ist der Verschluss 14 in seine Schließposition verstellt.In the illustration according to the FIGS. 7 and 8 the eccentric closure 14 is shown in its hanging position in which it can be pre-positioned at the hip of the surfer. Subsequently, the tensioning of the trapezoidal closure 14 described below takes place. Details of the closure 14 are described with reference to FIG FIGS. 9 and 10 explained. It shows FIG. 9 the closure 14 in the in the FIGS. 7 and 8 shown hanging position. In FIG. 8 the shutter 14 is adjusted to its closed position.

Bei der Variante gemäß den Figuren 7 bis 10 ist an der Frontplatte 10 ein etwa zylinderförmiger Exzenter 50 gelagert, der um eine Drehachse 52 drehbar ist. Diese ist gegenüber der geometrischen Mitte des Exzenters 50 nach rechts (Ansicht nach Figur 9) versetzt, so dass deren Abstand a zu dem in Figur 9 rechten Scheitel 54 kleiner ist als der Abstand b des in Figur 9 linken Scheitels 56. Das an den Endbeschlag 18 angebundene im weitesten Sinne ringförmige Rückhalteelement 38 umgreift den Exzenter 50 abschnittsweise. Die lichte Weite des Rückhalteelements 38 ist so groß, dass es ohne Weiteres den Exzenter 50, wie in Figur 9 dargestellt, umgreifen kann. Dieser ist mit einer in der Diagonalen verlaufenden Handhabe 58 ausgeführt, so dass er einfach verdrehbar ist.In the variant according to the FIGS. 7 to 10 is mounted on the front panel 10, an approximately cylindrical eccentric 50 which is rotatable about a rotation axis 52. This is relative to the geometric center of the eccentric 50 to the right (view after FIG. 9 ), so that their distance a from the in FIG. 9 right vertex 54 is smaller than the distance b of the in FIG. 9 the left vertex 56. The attached to the end fitting 18 in the broadest sense annular retaining element 38 surrounds the eccentric 50 sections. The clear width of the retaining element 38 is so large that it readily the eccentric 50, as in FIG. 9 represented, can embrace. This is designed with a running in the diagonal handle 58 so that it is easy to rotate.

Die Umfangsfläche des Exzenters 50 ist mit einer Ringnut 51 oder Hohlkehle (gestrichelt angedeutet in Figur 8 und 10) ausgeführt, in die das ringförmige Rückhalteelement 38 abschnittsweise eintaucht. Demgemäß umschlingt dieses einen Teil des Exzenters 50 und ist in der Ringnut relativ sicher gehalten, so dass ein versehentliches Lösen in der Einhängeposition verhindert ist. In einem vorbestimmten Abstand zur Drehachse 52 des Exzenters 50 ist an der Trapezplatte 10 ein als Ringsektor ausgebildeter Anschlag 60 vorgesehen, wobei der Abstand X so gewählt ist, dass das Rückhalteelement 38 umgreifend auf den Exzenter 50 aufgesetzt werden kann.The peripheral surface of the eccentric 50 is provided with an annular groove 51 or groove (indicated by dashed lines in FIG FIG. 8 and 10 ), in which the annular retaining element 38 is inserted in sections. Accordingly, this wraps around a part of the eccentric 50 and is relatively securely held in the annular groove, so that an accidental release in the hanging position is prevented. At a predetermined distance from the axis of rotation 52 of the eccentric 50 a designed as a ring sector stop 60 is provided on the trapezoidal plate 10, wherein the distance X is selected so that the retaining element 38 can be placed on the eccentric 50 encompassing.

In der Darstellung gemäß Figur 10 ist der Exzenter 50 um 180° in seine Schließstellung verdreht, so dass der andere Scheitel 56 mit Bezug zum Anschlag 60 ausgerichtet ist. Da der Abstand b dieses Scheitels 56 deutlich größer als der Abstand a des anderen Scheitels 54 zur Drehachse 52 ist, wird entsprechend das ringförmige Rückhalteelement 38 in Spannrichtung, d.h. hin zum Anschlag 60 gezogen, wobei in dieser Schließposition der Abstand zwischen dem Anschlag 60 und dem Scheitel 56 so gering ist, dass sich das ringförmige Rückhalteelement 38 nicht vom Umfangsabschnitt des Exzenters 50 lösen kann. Gemäß dieser Darstellung ist auch der Krümmungsradius des Anschlags 60 an denjenigen des Außenumfangs des Exzenters 50 angepasst. Man sieht in dieser Darstellung gut, dass nahezu der gesamte, den Exzenter 50 umschlingende Teil des Rückhalteelements 38 in die angedeutete Ringnut 51 des Exzenters 50 eintaucht und somit in der Draufsicht gemäß Figur 8 nicht mehr sichtbar ist, und so zuverlässig lagefixiert ist. In der Schließposition gemäß Figur 10 ist der Abstand d einer Basis 66 des Rückhalteelements 38 größer als in der Einhängeposition (Figur 9).In the illustration according to FIG. 10 the eccentric 50 is rotated by 180 ° in its closed position, so that the other vertex 56 is aligned with respect to the stop 60. Since the distance b of this vertex 56 is significantly greater than the distance a of the other vertex 54 to the axis of rotation 52, accordingly, the annular retaining member 38 in the clamping direction, ie pulled towards the stop 60, wherein in this closed position, the distance between the stopper 60 and the Vertex 56 is so small that the annular retaining member 38 can not solve the peripheral portion of the eccentric 50. As shown, the radius of curvature of the stopper 60 is also matched to that of the outer circumference of the eccentric 50. It can be seen well in this illustration that almost the entire, the eccentric 50 entrapping part of the retaining element 38 is immersed in the indicated annular groove 51 of the eccentric 50 and thus in the plan view FIG. 8 is no longer visible, and so reliably fixed in position. In the closed position according to FIG. 10 the distance d of a base 66 of the retaining element 38 is greater than in the hooking position (FIG. FIG. 9 ).

Aufgrund der glattflächigen Ausgestaltung des Exzenterverschlusses gemäß den Figuren 7 und 8 ist ein versehentliches Öffnen nahezu ausgeschlossen. Auch dieses Ausführungsbeispiel ist im Wesentlichen aus Kunststoff gefertigt.Due to the smooth surface configuration of the Exzenterverschlusses according to the FIGS. 7 and 8 is an accidental opening almost impossible. This embodiment is also made essentially of plastic.

Bei allen beschriebenen Varianten ist der Trapezverschluss aufgrund der kraftschlüssigen und flächigen Anlage zwischen dem Schließstück (Schwenkhebel 26, Exzenter 50) und dem Rückhalteelement sehr torsionssteif, so dass ein Verwinden des Trapezgurts minimiert ist. Des Weiteren ist dadurch ein versehentliches Öffnen des Trapezverschlusses unter Spannung verhindert.In all variants described, the trapezoidal closure is due to the frictional and planar contact between the closing piece (pivot lever 26, eccentric 50) and the retaining element very torsionally, so that a twisting of the trapezoidal belt is minimized. Furthermore, this prevents accidental opening of the trapezoidal closure under tension.

Wie erläutert, ist das Rückhalteelement 38 ähnlich wie beim zuvor beschriebenen Ausführungsbeispiel in den Endbeschlag 18 integriert und vorzugsweise einstöckig mit diesem ausgebildet. Selbstverständlich ist es auch möglich, das Rückhalteelement an den Endbeschlag 18 anzusetzen. Die lichte Weite des Rückhalteelementes 18 ist, wie erwähnt, an dem Durchmesser des Excenters 50 angepasst, so dass dieser in der Einhängeposition in der in Figur 9 dargestellten Weise vom Rückhalteelement 38 umgriffen ist.As explained, the retaining element 38 is similar to the embodiment described above integrated into the end fitting 18 and preferably formed integrally therewith. Of course, it is also possible to apply the retaining element to the end fitting 18. The clear width of the retaining element 18 is, as mentioned, adapted to the diameter of the eccentric 50, so that this in the hanging position in the in FIG. 9 shown manner is encompassed by the retaining element 38.

Der Anschlag 60 und der Excenter 50 sind vorzugsweise auf einer gemeinsamen Tragplatte angeordnet, wobei die Drehachse 52 in dieser Tragplatte 64 verankert ist. Wie erwähnt, können die wesentlichen Bauelemente des Trapezverschlusses 14 in Kunststoff, beispielsweise aus faserverstärktem Kunststoff in Spritzgießverfahren hergestellt sein.The stopper 60 and the eccentric 50 are preferably arranged on a common support plate, wherein the axis of rotation 52 is anchored in this support plate 64. As mentioned, the essential components of the trapezoidal closure 14 may be made of plastic, for example of fiber-reinforced plastic by injection molding.

Das beschriebene Trapez kann als Kitesurf-Trapez oder als Windsurf-Trapez ausgeführt sein. Dabei ist eine Variante als Sitztrapez oder Hüfttrapez realisierbar.The described trapeze can be designed as a kitesurfing harness or windsurfing harness. In this case, a variant can be realized as a seat harness or hip harness.

Offenbart sind ein Trapezverschluss und ein mit einem derartigen Trapezverschluss ausgeführtes Trapez, bei dem ein Verschluss mit einer Einhängeposition und mit einer Schließposition ausgeführt ist.Disclosed are a trapezoidal closure and executed with such a trapezoidal keystone in which a closure is executed with a hanging position and with a closed position.
