Definitions

  • the invention relates to a fastening device for a fin on a sailing board.
  • Fastening devices of this type have been known for a long time and are described, for example, in DE magazine “Surf- Magazine", issue 4/90, pp. 55-58.
  • a receiving or fin box is laminated into the sail board.
  • the fin box has an opening pointing towards the underside of the sail board, into which a fin shaft is inserted and screwed there.
  • the opening is longer than the fin shaft, so that an adjustment in the longitudinal direction is possible.
  • the ratio between the length of the fin and the length of the shaft is very large, for example 9: 1, where there is a very unfavorable lever arm for fastening.
  • this ratio was made more favorable by extending the shaft.
  • the fin box is therefore higher and extends essentially through the entire thickness of the sail board.
  • the front and back of the fin shaft are chamfered to allow the shaft to be inserted into the receiving box.
  • the object of the invention is to improve the fastening device mentioned at the outset so that it is even more stable.
  • At least one cone seat is provided for fastening the fin shaft in the receiving opening of the receiving box.
  • This cone seat provides a large area of contact between the side surfaces of the fin shaft and the associated surfaces in the opening of the receiving box. As a result, a firm, play-free fit is achieved and at the same time the surface pressure of the parts in contact is reduced, which increases the overall strength. Because of the cone seat, the full surface also bears, so that the full length of the fin shaft is also available as a lever arm.
  • the cone angle between a side surface and the main axis is preferably 6 °.
  • the front (based on the direction of travel) of the fin shaft is curved in the form of a segment of a circle. This ensures that the fin can be easily turned backwards when it comes into contact with ground or another obstacle in relation to the direction of travel. As particularly cheap a radius of 120 mm has been found for the curvature of the front.
  • the back of the fin shaft is chamfered, preferably at an angle of 1 °.
  • the upper side of the shaft is also inclined from the front to the rear (based on the direction of travel), preferably at an inclination angle of 7.1 °. This ensures that the fin shaft is longer in the area of higher mechanical loads than in areas of lower load, which leads to the most even possible distribution of force on the fin shaft with the least possible use of material.
  • the fin shaft is preferably screwed to the receiving box, this screw preferably being made of plastic and having a precisely defined tear-off force. When touching the ground, this screw breaks and the fin is removed without further destruction.
  • a corresponding threaded insert for the screw is preferably inserted in a depression in the upper side of the shaft.
  • FIGS. 1 to 4 First, the first embodiment of FIGS. 1 to 4 will be described.
  • the fin 1 has a fin blade 2 and a fin shaft 3 integrally molded thereon.
  • the front 4 of the shaft 3 pointing in the direction of travel is curved in the form of a segment of a circle, with a radius 11, which here is 120 mm.
  • the top 5 is sloping down from the front 4 to the back 6.
  • the underside 7 of the shaft, on which the fin blade 2 is molded, extends in a straight line and perpendicular to a central axis 21.
  • each side surface 8 and 9 of the shaft are mirror-symmetrical with respect to the central axis 21 and taper to a point at a cone angle 10 towards the free end of the shaft.
  • the cone angle of each side surface is preferably 6 °.
  • the back 6 of the shaft 3 is tapered towards the free end of the shaft with a helix angle 12 of 1 °.
  • the front side 4, the upper side 5 and the rear side 6 - as can best be seen from the top view in FIG. 3 - are inclined mirror-symmetrically to a central plane 19, the angle of inclination 20 between a perpendicular to the central plane 19 and the corresponding surface 14 ° is.
  • the helix angle 22 of the top 5 with respect to the bottom 7 is 7.1 °.
  • the height 15 of the front 4 measured perpendicular to the bottom 7 is preferably 49.5 mm.
  • the height 16 of the back 6 is 29.5 mm.
  • the length 17 of the bottom 7 is 160.2 mm.
  • the thickness 18 of the shaft 3 measured on the underside 7 is 16.1 mm.
  • Fig. 4 shows the receiving or fin box 23 with a receiving opening 24 for the fin shaft.
  • a receiving opening 24 for the fin shaft.
  • two webs 27 are also provided in the bottom of the opening 25 and serve as a stop for the top 5 of the fin shaft 3.
  • the sleeve 26 projects into the interior of the opening 25, which is why the fin shaft has the depression 13. This sleeve serves to stiffen the fin box.
  • a plurality of projecting webs are provided, which serve to positively anchor the fin box in the sail board.
  • FIGS. 5 to 13 All of these basic principles can largely be combined with one another, FIGS. 5 to 13 not showing all possible variations.
  • the fin shaft 3 is cuboid in cross section.
  • the conical seat 28 is formed by a wedge 29 which is inclined on one side and whose wedge surface 30 is on an inner wall of the receiving box 23 is present.
  • the wedge 29 is pulled by the screw 48 towards the deck of the sail board or into the receiving opening 24 and thus clamps the fin shaft 3 between itself and the opposite side wall of the receiving box.
  • the fin is held only by frictional forces that can be adjusted according to the tightening force of the screw 48.
  • the position of the fin with respect to the longitudinal axis can also be adjusted, which represents a certain possibility of trimming.
  • Fig. 6 shows a variant similar to FIGS. 1 to 4, however with the proviso that the cross section of the fin shaft 3 is asymmetrical and has only one cone seat 28, while the opposite side is straight.
  • transition region between the fin shaft 3 and the fin blade 2 is rounded off by a radius 47, which essentially serves to improve the stability. Notches that easily break are avoided in the transition area.
  • the cone of the cone seat runs in the opposite direction, i.e. the fin shaft 3 is tapered from its free end towards the fin blade 2.
  • one or two corresponding wedges 29 or 29 and 31 are always used, which are screwed in from the top side (FIGS. 7, 8, 9, 11 and 12) or from the underside of the sail board (FIGS. 10 and 13) .
  • the fin shaft is asymmetrically conical, analogous to the exemplary embodiment in FIG. 6, and is fixed by the wedge 29.
  • the fin shaft is drawn into the receiving opening 24 up to the upper stop, this stop possibly being defined by additional stop ribs 27 (cf. FIG. 13).
  • the screw is inserted from the cover side through the opening 25.
  • the wedge 29 has a corresponding threaded bushing (not shown).
  • the cross section of the receiving opening 24 is square.
  • FIG. 8 shows a similar, but completely mirror-symmetrical variant with two wedges 29 and 31, the wedges being asymmetrical and the receiving opening 24 being square.
  • FIG. 9 shows a variant with a symmetrical conical cross section of the fin shaft 3, an asymmetrical wedge 29 and an asymmetrical receiving opening 24.
  • a side wall of the receiving box 23 is designed to run obliquely in accordance with the slope of the cone.
  • the opposite side wall on the other hand, is parallel to the central axis, corresponding to the side of the wedge 29 facing it.
  • the screw connection is also carried out here from the top side.
  • Fig. 10 shows a variant similar to Fig. 9, but with the difference that the screwing is carried out from the opening side of the receiving box.
  • a web 35 with a threaded bushing 36 projecting perpendicularly to the central axis 21 into the interior of the receiving opening 24 is provided for receiving the fastening screw.
  • the web 35 can be reinforced by a stiffening rib 53.
  • the screw is passed through a through hole of the wedge 29 and screwed into the threaded bush 36.
  • FIG. 11 shows a variant with a mirror-symmetrical cone cross section of the fin shaft 3, a mirror symmetrical cross section of the wedge 29, two cone seats 28 and side walls of the receiving box inclined by the cone angle with respect to the central axis 21.
  • the wedge is screwed from the top side.
  • Fig. 12 shows a variant with mirror symmetry Conical cross section of the fin shaft 3, two mirror-symmetrical wedges 29 and 31 and two side walls of the receiving box which are tilted towards one another.
  • the screws are screwed in from the top side.
  • FIG. 13 shows a variant analogous to FIG. 12 but with a screw connection from the underside analogous to the exemplary embodiment of FIG. 10.
  • Another variant not shown, provides for the fin to be inserted into the receiving box from the top side, the receiving opening in this case tapering conically from the top side to the water side.
  • the male shaft is pressed into the receiving opening by a screwable cover plate.
  • FIGS. 14 to 16 show different trim options for the relative position between the fin and the receiving box. 14 and 15, the fin can be pivoted about an axis of rotation 43. In the exemplary embodiment in FIG. 16, the fin can be displaced translationally in the longitudinal direction of the sail board (cf. arrow 52). These two variants can also be combined with one another so that the fin can be pivoted as well as moved in translation.
  • a pivot bearing 50 which here is a sleeve or a bolt which is inserted into a bore extending transversely to the central axis 21.
  • This sleeve has a threaded bore into which the screw 48 can be screwed.
  • the threaded bore runs parallel to the central axis 21 and thus perpendicular to the pivot axis 43.
  • the trough 13 of the fin shaft extends as far as the sleeve 50, the opening angle of the trough limiting the possible swiveling range of the fin.
  • the front edge and the rear edge are curved in a circular manner, with both circular sections being parts of a common circle whose center lies on the pivot axis 43. Accordingly, the two radii 11 are also the same size.
  • the wedges 29 and 30 must also be movable in this variant.
  • the simplest way to achieve this is that the opposing wedges 29 and 31 can also be pivoted about the pivot axis 43.
  • the two wedges can be supported by pins 44 in pivot bearings of the receiving box 23.
  • the fin 16 shows a variant in which the fin can be displaced translationally parallel to the longitudinal axis of the sail board (cf. arrow 52).
  • the through opening 25 at the top of the receiving box is designed as an elongated hole.
  • the receiving opening 24 of the fin box 23 is longer than the fin shaft.
  • these inserts 41, 42 can have legs 54 and 55, which overlap the top of the fin shaft, and which at the same time also serve as a stop.
  • This variant can be combined with the variant of FIGS. 14 and 15, so that the fin can be adjusted to a large extent.
  • FIG. 17 shows a further embodiment which can be used in all the variants described.
  • the top of the receiving box is arranged sunk corresponding to the trough 13 (Fig. 1), so that there is a trough 37 on the outside of the receiving box.
  • This trough can be closed by a cover 38 which is sealed by a circumferential seal 39. This creates a hermetically sealed cavity that is used to hold tool spare parts etc.
  • the fin is secured by a safety rope 40 which is fastened on the one hand to the fin shaft and on the other hand to the receiving box. If the screw 48 tears at its predetermined breaking point against an underwater obstacle, the fin is secured against complete loss by the safety rope 40.
  • the wedges can also be secured in a corresponding manner.
