Definitions

  • the present invention relates to an anchoring device for boundary and goal bars, in particular for goals of skiing according to the preamble of claim 1.
  • the anchoring unit consists of a hexagonal or round section with flexible brushes projecting thereon. In this case, a hole is excluded and then it is sufficient to insert the flexible rod in the snow. Experiments have shown that more or less forms a secure anchorage. However, this system is difficult to disassemble. For this purpose, holes must be made adjacent to the snow anchored rod so that the snow is loosened and the rod can be removed. If you drill too close to these brushes anchored in the snow, they will be wound up and damaged by the drill. This system is more or less fast to build, but can be broken down only with great expenditure of time.
  • a rod is described as in the above-mentioned patent, which also in the region of its lower end a rotatable relative to the Torlaufstangen Economics actuating sleeve and a projection are provided which engages in an elongated receiving the anchoring element, such that upon rotation of the Torlaufstangen stressess relative to the actuating sleeve, the anchoring element is activated or deactivated.
  • a plate for anchoring the door running rod provided in the snow, whose plate plane is substantially parallel to the longitudinal extent of the running rod. The plate is attached to the actuating sleeve. In this case, however, the plate also serves to actuate the actuating sleeve.
  • the object of the present invention is to solve the above problems and to propose an anchoring device which allows both a centered and stable anchoring of the bars and, moreover, an easily removable bar after the deactivation of the anchoring.
  • This object is achieved by an anchoring device for rods according to the characterizing part of claim 1. It is therefore proposed a rod tip with an inner core, preferably made of aluminum and an outer sleeve, preferably in plastic, which is comparable to the known expandable dowels.
  • a hole is excluded, then the flexible rod is introduced into the bore and is activated by means of a lifting device.
  • the lifting device consists of an alternately on the core or on the expansion sleeve provided cam, such that the expansion sleeve can be adjusted relative to the core.
  • the lifting mechanism consists of a bolt which extends transversely to the longitudinal axis and, when rotated on a thread-like contour, moves upwards on the outer sleeve.
  • a downward movement of the rod is necessary to activate the anchoring task.
  • the new system is activated by moving the rod upwards. Moreover, only a quarter turn is necessary to get the desired effect.
  • This has the advantage that there are no unwanted reciprocating movements, ie within the levels occupied by the axis of the rod during activation, which loosen the snow.
  • the activation of the system takes place in that the conical part of the inner core spreads at least two sections of the outer sleeve.
  • the lamellae present on the outer shell engage with the snow and cause the actual attachment / anchoring in the snow. If you want to disable the mechanism, it is sufficient to rotate the inner core with the actual rod vice versa.
  • the rod moves downwards and the voltages which result only when activated in the subregion of the outer jacket return to their initial position in the case of a spring.
  • the at Deactivation may hinder the closure of the portions of the outer shell, it is advantageous to previously install in the respective spaces between the protruding slats a rubber-like ring such as a bicycle tube, which has the advantage that these rings in the deactivation, the return of the side portions of the outer shell in support the original position.
  • the elevator consists of a ramp in the region of the core head which extends from the core head alternately about the axis of the core and to act on the corresponding end of the expansion sleeve to compress or spread them with rotation of the head.
  • the rod including the ski-mounted inner core
  • a cam which is alternately provided on the core or on the sleeve, for example in the form of a wedge.
  • the partial areas of the outer shell open by being spread open, and the lamellae existing on it anchor themselves in the snow.
  • the system is activated this way.
  • the system is deactivated and the rod can be easily removed by providing inclined planes in the direction of the axis of the core head, which guide the sleeve in the direction Press the axle itself, so the lamellae are freed from the snow.
  • reference numeral 1 in its entirety indicates an anchoring device for ski-perch limiting rods according to the invention.
  • the device 1 is connected to a rod 2 via an upper portion 3, which is connected via a flexible part 4 with a lower portion 5.
  • This latter is connected to a core 6, which ends at its free end with a conical head 7.
  • a bolt 8 which projects from the core perpendicular to its axis.
  • the core 6 is surrounded by a dowel 100.
  • This has a cam 9 at the upper edge of the wall of the anchor 100, which cooperates with the bolt 8.
  • the cam surface 9 ends at the beginning of its slope with a recess 8 and at the end of its slope with a recess 11.
  • the indentations 8 and 9 form the stop position of the bolt eighth
  • the dowel 100 has a complete pipe section 12 and after this a longitudinally slotted pipe section 13 with slots 14 which form sectors 15. Of the sectors are radially before a plurality of anchoring fins 16.
  • the anchoring lamellae 16 are connected to each other by longitudinal ribs 17.
  • the sectors 15 are preferably surrounded by elastic seals 26 which cover the slots 14 to prevent snow or material of any nature from entering towards the core 6.
  • the complete pipe section has longitudinal webs 18 which end up in a recess 19 provided with recesses 20.
  • the operation of the anchoring device according to the invention is as follows.
  • the dowel 100 is dimensioned such that this at Rotation from a position in which the bolt 8 is located in the recess 10, in a position in which the bolt 8 is located in the recess 11, after the device itself was driven according to the arrow 21 in the snow cover 22.
  • the conical head 7 is pressed against the dowel by this is spread, with the consequent engagement of the fins 16 in the bore of the snow cover 22.
  • the stroke "b" of the dowel 100 is expanded in the manner of a dowel known type.
  • the conical head 7 could be connected to the core 6 by means of an adjustable screw 25 so as to increase or decrease the spread of the fins 16, or increase or decrease its penetration into the snow: thus, smaller penetration is needed when the snow is frosted and bigger when it's soft.
  • the setting limits are indicated by "a”, for example.
  • the cam could also be formed by an inclined plane and wedge 27, which is adjustable between the bolt 8 and the shoulder 19, or as in FIG. 5 shown could be between the core 6 and the plug 100, an eccentric lever 28th act to compress the plug 100, so as to obtain the desired spread.
  • FIGS. 6 to 8 show a second embodiment in which an expansion body is provided at 200 of an anchoring device 101 for limiting and goal bars.
  • a core 106 has a head 107 and on the side facing away from the head 107 an extension 108 which merges with a tapered portion 109. It is fastened together with a bolt 110.
  • a top pot 111 in the spreader 200 can be pushed.
  • the pot 111 can be fastened to the extension 108 by means of screws 112.
  • From the top pot 111 extend radially ribs 113 to depress the core itself in the recessed in the snow hole.
  • a ramp 114 which is directed to the opening of the spreader 200, with the possibility of compressing the spreader 200 while rotating the head 107.
  • wedges 115 are provided, which are inclined in the direction of the axis of the core 106 such that a concave shape is obtained to the Absorb the end of the spreader 200, where so the end of the spreader 200 is narrowed in the direction of its axis, whereby the extract of the spreader 200 is facilitated from the snow, the slats of the spreader are pulled out of the same.
  • the anchoring device 101 is provided with ramps 114 which narrow over a step in an end-side ridge 117 which is dimensioned such that it can be taken up by an end-side longitudinal recess 116, which is excluded at the end within the expansion body 200: thus becomes a Rotation of the anchoring device 101 relative to the expansion body avoided.
  • the anchor may have bristles or movable blades which are mounted on the outer part or inner part, which can be changed in their orientation by a rotary movement or lifting movement. If the armature is spread or activated, then the bristles or movable blades are in a position which complicates the release of the anchor or pulling out of the anchorage. When the armature is deactivated, the bristles or moving lamellas return to their original position, which thus facilitates their extraction.
  • the bristles or fins can be made of a flexible material or from another material from which the actual anchorage is made.
  • the entire anchorage can be made of different materials.
  • the side flanges 18 are of a softer material, or e.g. the main body is made of hard material, and the fins (16) are made of a softer material. So a combination of different materials.
  • the surfaces can be treated differently. Rough surface, smooth surface or a combination with each other.
