Definitions
- the present invention relates to a post including two post tubes, the opposing end portions of which are connected by a spring flex joint, which includes an elongate solid elastic body surrounded by two annular bodies, in which the elongate solid elastic body is fastened under pretension, and on which the respective post tubes are slipped, the end faces of said annular bodies facing each other forming part of said flex joint by being pressed against each other under the action of the pretension applied to the elongate solid elastic body.
- a post is known through FR-A-2 044 032.
- posts which include two tubes, the respective mutually opposing end portions of which are united by a spring joint, comprising an elongate spring means extending inside the pipes and with longitudinal bias being anchored relative the tubes.
- the spring means is normally a coil spring.
- FR-A-2 044 032 there is proposed the use of a rubber chord as spring means. At either end this chord has a head, which is inserted in a recess in an associated joint member. The joint members are kept urged towards each other by the bias of the rubber chord, each member carrying a post tube.
- the joint structure of the French patent is furthermore such as to negate the use of any kind of regulating mechanism for the bias.
- the object of the present invention is to provide a spring joint for a post of the kind defined in the introduction, the embodiment of the joint being simple and cheap, even so allowing a large number of flexings at the joint without risking collapse of the joint structure.
- the structure shall also allow the selection of sufficiently large bias for the resilience of the joint to be very stiff as well as allowing the use of adjustment means for the bias.
- the elongate solid elastic body is a rod of polymeric material, which to a substantial extent fills out the cross-section of the post tubes, in that said two annular bodies each consist of a tube, in that a portion of the length of the rod is surrounded by these two tubes, to which the rod is directly fastened at those ends of said two tubes that are furthest from each other by means of at least one rivet passing through the rod at each fastening site.
- Figure 1 is an axial section through a slalom post
- Figure 2 illustrates a portion of a slalom post in axial section to clarify a modification of the embodiment in Figure 1
- Figure 3 is an axial section of a further embodiment of a slalom post
- Figure 4 illustrates to a much enlarged scale a section IV of the embodiment in Figure 3 when the post is flexed at the joint.
- the joint includes a substantially rod-shaped core body 2 from polymeric material such as rubber, polyurethane etcetera.
- the body 2 is enclosed biassed or pretensioned in its longitudinal direction in two sleeves 4 made from steel or the like, the end surfaces 5 of these sleeves being pressed against each other by the bias.
- a tube 6, of hard plastics, aluminium etcetera is disposed for enclosing the sleeves 4.
- the core body 2 is fastened by rivets 10, 12 to said sleeves. Each tube 6 engages a shoulder 11 on the respective sleeve 4.
- the joint may be assembled with tension in the core body 2 as follows.
- the lower sleeve 4 is brought over the core body 2 such that it assumes the position shown, and the core body is fixed in the sleeve by the lower rivet 10, or two crossing rivets.
- the upper sleeve 4 is brought over the core body 2, and tensional stress is exerted on the core body 2 in its longitudinal direction by the lower sleeve 4 being suitably fixed and a tensional force in a direction away from the sleeves 4 being applied to the projecting end of the body 2.
- the upper rivet 12 or two crossing rivets are arranged through the upper end of the sleeve 4 and the core body 2.
- the tensional force is removed the body is thus axially pretensioned with the aid of rivets 10 and 12.
- the tubes 6 are put in place.
- FIG. 2 A modification of the embodiment in Figure 1 is illustrated in Figure 2.
- the upper sleeve is made in two parts 14 and 16, which are in thread engagement 18 with each other.
- the sleeve part 14 is fixed against axial upwards movement of the upper end of the core body 2 by a pin 20, which only passes through the core body 2.
- the bias in the core body 2 may now be adjusted and even applied by screwing the sleeve 14 on sleeve 16 after the upper tube 6 has been slipped upwards. No corresponding rotation of the core body 2 will take place since the pin 20 does not pass through the sleeve 14.
- the core body 2 is surrounded at the joint by an upper joint sleeve 22 and a reinforcing sleeve 24.
- the tube 6 is slipped over both tubes 22 and 24.
- a rivet 26 passes through the reinforcing sleeve 24 and the tube 6 so that the core body 2 is kept fixed with respect to the latter.
- a lower joint sleeve is made up from two sleeve parts 28 and 30, which are threaded to each other at 32. After pretensioning the core body 2, a rivet 34 is passed through sleeve part 30. The lower tube 6 is then slipped over the sleeve parts 28, 30. For adjusting the pretension the lower tube 6 is drawn downwardly to uncover the sleeve 30 for manipulation.
- the upper sleeve part 22 is terminated by a shoulder 36 surrounding a radially projecting flange 38 on the lower sleeve part 28.
- the shoulder 36 and flange 38 serve to locate sleeve parts 22 and 28 mutuaiiy.
- Figure 4 illustrates the situation when the joint comes into operation as a result of applying a lateral force to the portion of the post above the joint.
- the bias of the core body 2 in the sleeves results in that their opposing end faces are always kept pressed against each other with a given force caused by the bias.
- the bias is selected such that the joint will flex when the post is subjected to forces from different directions, but will regain its straight configuration immediately afterwards.
- the spring movement is, of course, directly dependent on the magnitude of the bias or pretension.
