Definitions

  • the invention relates to a board structure for an ice-hockey rink, comprising interconnectable board elements having an upper egde, transparent shielding panels located above the board elements and having an upper edge as well as support posts for securing the shielding panels to the board elements, which support posts have an upper end.
  • An ice-hockey rink is a sports ground constructed for ice-hockey.
  • the rink is rectangular and has rounded corners.
  • the International Ice-hockey Federation defines the following dimensions for an ice-hockey rink in its book of regulations: length 56 to 61 meters and width 26 to 30 meters. The radius of curvature of the corners is 7 to 8.5 meters.
  • the even area inside the ice-hockey rink is covered by ice.
  • the ice-hockey rink is surrounded by a board structure consisting of a board which is approximately one meter in height and made from wood, metal, plastic, fiberglass or other material suitable for the purpose or a combination thereof, as well as of a transparent shielding panel placed thereon.
  • the International Ice-hockey Federation has defined the following dimensions for the size of the board structure.
  • the board shall be 1.17 to 1.22 meters in height, measured the surface of the ice.
  • shielding panels which are made from a transparent material and whose height from the upper edge from the board shall be 80 to 120 cm, as well 160 to 200 cm as in the end zones and four meters from the goal line towards the center line, are secured.
  • An ice-hockey rink board structure must both protect the spectators and the players and obstruct the view as little as possible. It is not allowed to have structures or shapes that are disturbing or dangerous for the game or players on the side facing the rink. Besides, because the halls having an ice-hockey rink are not used only for ice-hockey but for several other purposes such as concerts, fairs and other events, the ice-hockey rink board structure must be easy to disassemble and store as well as to reassemble. These requirements, i.e. the durability, lightness, flexibility and simple design of a board structure, easily contradict each other. Furthermore, problems are encountered in the selection of the materials to be used.
  • Tempered glass is durable as a shielding panel but very heavy and, if it breaks, lots of small glass pieces are created which are not only dangerous but also very difficult to clean up.
  • Different types of plastic in turn, bend when subjected to hits, and shielding panels made therefrom may come off their holders.
  • a board structure solution comprising interconnected identical board sections as well as shielding panels placed thereon and connected to the upper edge of the board section by means of a U-shaped groove structure.
  • the shielding panels are vertically supported against each other by an H-shaped batten structure extending almost to the upper edge of the shielding panel.
  • the specification suggests aluminum and acrylic resin as materials for the groove structure and batten structure, respectively. If tempered glass is used as shielding panel material in this solution, the batten structure and the board section have to be made robust. Irrespective of which one of the materials is chosen, the batten structure causes an obstruction of view that may disturb televising or photographing or the spectators.
  • US patent publication 5,706,625 discloses interconnected board elements having a U-shaped channel in their upper part, capable of receiving the lower edge of a shielding panel.
  • the shielding panel is made from tempered glass.
  • This board structure solution becomes, so to speak, seamless, because there will not be visible support solutions between the transparent shielding panels.
  • this model is quite heavy to disassemble.
  • the shielding panel only being connected at its lower part, a violent hit against its upper part may cause the shielding panel to break as it bends.
  • a board structure in which the shielding panel only is connected at its lower part shall therefore be made very stiff, which may result in dangerous situations when bumped against by a player.
  • US patent publication 6,622,434 discloses a shielding panel solution according to which the shielding panels are embedded in a groove structure and partly supported by a transparent pillar structure.
  • the pillar structure is rather complicated and comprises points susceptible to high stresses when the shielding panels bend as a result of hits. Besides, it is designed to be used for a thin and light shielding panel and is thus not necessarily suitable for the areas behind the goals, for example, in which a higher and thus more robust shielding panel must be used also according to the regulations. Further, the shielding panel is hard to replace because it must be lifted out of the groove structure and the structures of the the pillar structure supporting the shielding sheet. Further, the pillar structure is high, thus obstructing the view from the stand to the rink, in spite of that the material used in the pillar structure is partly transparent.
  • the invention aims at providing a solution that remarkably alleviates the drawbacks and disadvantages of the prior art.
  • the invention also makes it easier to move and reassemble an ice-hockey rink board structure.
  • the structure according to the invention is characterized in what is set forth in the independent Claims.
  • the dependent Claims disclose preferred embodiments of the invention.
  • the board structure for an ice-hockey rink consists of interconnectable board elements having an upper end and a lower end. On the board elements, transparent shielding panels are secured into a wall-like structure. The shielding panels have a side facing the rink and an outer face. The board structure has support posts connecting the shielding panels to the board elements, and these support posts have an upper end.
  • the distance between the upper end of the support post and the upper edge of the board element is substantially shorter the distance between the upper edge of the shielding panel and the upper edge of the board element.
  • the upper end of the support post comprises an upper insert having a support face to be set against the shielding panel, the width of the upper insert thus being substantially greater than the width of the support post.
  • the distance between the upper end of the support post and the upper edge of the board element is 80 centimeters.
  • the width of the support face of the upper inserts is 11 centimeters.
  • the diameter of the support post is 6 centimeters.
  • the support post is in two parts, consisting of a first part and a second part. These parts are positioned in such a way that the seam between the shielding panels and the vertical edges of the shielding panels are placed between the first part and the second part of the support post.
  • the first part of the support post is located outside the shielding panel and the second part of the support post is located on the rink side of the shielding panel.
  • the first part and the second part of the support post form an elongated, substantially cylindrical body having a dividing seam extending in the direction of the longitudinal axis of the structure.
  • the first part and the second part of the support post are fastened together by fasteners at the seam of the shielding panels, the first part and the second part of the support post thus holding the shielding panels in place by compressing the vertical edges of the shielding panels forming the seam between themselves.
  • the first part and the second part of the support post are hollow and lath-like, respectively.
  • the upper insert of the support post is adapted to be fitted into the upper end of the first part of the support post so that the upper insert is partly located inside the first part and has the support face of the upper insert against the outer face of the shielding panel.
  • the upper edge of the board element is provided with one or more openings capable of receiving the lower end of the first part of the support post.
  • a support post guide is located in the proximity of the opening of the upper edge of the board element.
  • This support post guide is secured to the body of the board element.
  • the support post guide is an elongated body.
  • the board element is provided with a horizontal upper support structure having the support post guide fixed thereto. The upper end of the support post guide extends no higher than to the level of the surface of the upper edge of the board element.
  • the support post guide at least partly fits into the hollow first part of the support post when the first part of the support post is mounted in the opening in the upper edge of the board element.
  • the support post guide extends into the first part of the support post, thereby guiding the first part of the support post into the right position at the same and locking the lower end of the first part of the support post into place.
  • the second part of the support post is lath-like and more or less about the length of the that portion of the first part of the support post which remains outside the board element when the first part of the support post is fitted into the opening in the upper edge of the board element.
  • the first part and the second part of the support post have seats for fasteners for mutual alignment when the first part and the second part of the support post are in place.
  • the fasteners fastening the first part and the second part of the support post to each other are mounted from the direction of the second part of the support post, i.e. from the rink.
  • These fasteners can be rivet nuts. They are provided on the first part of the support post, the rivet nuts thus receiving screws.
  • the upper end of the first part of the support post comprises the upper insert of the support post, located partly inside the first part of the support post, and its side facing the rink is flush with the outer faces of the shielding panels.
  • This upper insert of the support post at least partly is made from a transparent material. It does not apply pressure to the shielding panels but guides the shielding panels back to where they were between the first part and the second part, if they bend from their original position and then return, when a player bumps against the board structure, for example.
  • one or more support post guides are fastened so that its side facing the rink is flush with the outer face of the shielding panel. It is at least party made from a transparent material. It prevents the shielding panel from bending outwards excessively if it is bumped against from the direction of the rink, for example.
  • the outer face of the board element, the upper part of the back sheets, comprises a service hatch providing access for dismounting and mounting the fasteners located in the proximity of the upper edge of the board element and interconnecting the board elements.
  • the back sheets and other structures of the board element are positioned such that the fasteners located in the proximity of the upper edge of the board element and interconnecting the board elements are easily accessible for dismounting and mounting.
  • the ice-hockey rink board structure according to the invention is made ready for use by putting the board elements into place and by fastening them to each other and to the substrate by means of the fasteners.
  • the curvature of the corners of an ice-hockey rink is so gentle, the radius of curvature being 8.5 meters, that the shielding panels can be mounted without bending.
  • the doors of the boxes and the service passage opening and similar special details are put into place in the board structure.
  • the shielding panels are placed thereon. This is started by mounting the first part of the support post in the opening of the upper edge of the board element, the support post guide then setting the first part of the support post into the right position.
  • the shielding panels are placed on the upper edge of the board element in such a way that the seams formed by the edges of the shielding panels are placed at the first parts of the support posts.
  • the second part of the support post is mounted in such a way that the fastener seats on the first part and the second part of the support post are placed at their counterseats.
  • the second part of the support post fastened to the first part of the support post by means of the fasteners which preferably are rivet nuts secured to the first part of the support post. Screws provided on the second part are tightened into the rivet nuts, the edges of the shielding panels thus being compressed between the first part and the second part of the support post. Because the distance between the first part and the second part not being fixed, it is easy to use shielding panels with a different thickness in the same board structure.
  • the disassembling of the ice-hockey rink board structure takes place in reverse order.
  • the screws are screwed out of the rivet nuts, the second part of the support post is removed, the shielding panel is lifted out of position and the first part of the support post is removed. If it is desirable to leave the ice-hockey rink boards in place, the openings in the upper edge of the board elements can be protected with plugs.
  • An advantage related to the invention is that it provides a lighter ice-hockey rink board structure which accordingly is easy to move and store. Further, it enables the use of flexible and light materials as the shielding panels. When bumped against, the structure is resilient, thus reducing the risk of injuring the players. The structure being resilient and not easily breakable, the safety of the players increases. Further, the small dimensions of the support structures enhance viewing from the stand to the rink. Further, the structure becomes robust with a smaller amount of material.
  • the board structure according to the invention is easy to disassemble and assemble. It is also quick to repair and maintain.
  • a further advantage related to the invention is that it enables the use of different kinds of shielding panel materials. For example, it is possible to arrange more durable or thicker shielding panel behind the goal than elsewhere, or it possible to arrange tempered glass at the television camera or photographers, having better optical properties than shielding panels made from plastic but being substantially heavier than them.
  • FIG. 1 shows an exemplary ice-hockey rink board structure according to the invention when being mounted.
  • the board element 102 is a parallelogrammic structure having ends 117, an upper edge 104 and a lower edge 103 as well as two sides: a side facing the rink and a side facing outwards, i.e., away from the rink.
