Four-strand tension damper

Abstract

Four-strand tension damper - four elastic bands or one elastic band in loop form, - a floating center section for fixing the expander rubbers, - two holding bodies (main holding body and deflection holding body) with connection options for carabiners or lines made of various materials using Chicago screws or rivets. - two covers on the main mounting body to protect the mechanism. - The expander rubbers are attached to / redirected to the holding body so that they can absorb the evenly occurring tensile forces and enable linear tensile damping.

Description

2. Technical field

[0001] The invention relates to a tensile damper for, among other things, dog leashes, in particular a device for the linear reduction of tensile forces caused by pulling, for example, a dog. 3. State of the art

[0002] Conventional dampeners for dog leashes are often based on plastic or metal springs, or individual elastic cords / rubber bands. These have weaknesses in terms of durability, especially with temperature fluctuations, and limited tensile strength. Plastic springs tend to break at low temperatures, and individual elastic cords do not distribute forces efficiently, resulting in insufficient or inadequate dampening. 4. Object of the invention

[0003] The object of the invention is to provide a damper for, e.g., dog leashes, which has a higher load-bearing capacity and tensile strength, enables a uniform tensile force absorption, functions reliably under temperature fluctuations, and can be manufactured in different strengths and sizes for different, e.g., dog breeds and dog sizes (weight). 5. Solution to the task

[0004] The invention solves this problem by means of a damper which has the following features: Elastic bands: Four elastic bands, or one elastic band formed into four loops, distribute the tensile forces evenly and ensure linear tensile strength. The diameter is adjusted to the desired tensile force. Floating middle section: A central part fixes the expander rubbers to each other and is held in position by the pre-tensioned expander rubbers, or stabilizes the entire damper by the clamping between the two retaining bodies. Holding body (main holding body and deflection holding body): Two opposing holding bodies, main holding body and deflection holding body, serve to hold the expander rubbers and offer connection options for carabiners or rope attachments using Chicago screws or rivets. Materials: The components can be made from TPU (e.g. 3D printing), wood, other plastics or metals. Covers: Two covers are glued to the sides of two openings on the main mounting body to protect the mechanism.

Claims

[1] Four-strand tension damper - four expander rubber bands or one expander rubber band in loop form, - a floating middle part for fixing the expander rubbers, - two holding bodies (main holding body and deflection holding body) with connection options for carabiners or lines made of different materials using book screws or rivets. - two covers on the main body to protect the mechanics. - The expander rubbers are attached / redirected to the holding body so that they can absorb evenly occurring tensile forces and enable linear tensile damping. [2] Tension damper according to claim 1, characterized by that the components are made of TPU, wood, plastics or metals. [3] Tension damper according to claim 1 or 2, characterized by that different lengths, diameters and thicknesses can be realized for different dog breeds or dog sizes. [4] Tension damper according to claim 1, characterized by that the floating middle section is held in position by the pre-tension of the expander rubbers and it stabilizes the entire damper by clamping it between the two holding bodies. [5] Tension damper according to claim 1 or 2, characterized by that the expander rubbers can be exchanged or replaced independently of each other to increase the service life of the damper (sustainability). [6] Tension damper according to claim 1, 2 or 5, characterized by that the expander rubbers can have different elasticities or diameters in order to individually adjust the damping force. [7] Tension damper according to claim 1 or 2, characterized by that the two holding bodies are equipped with additional fastening options so that they can be integrated directly into leashes, dog harnesses, collars or between carabiners. [8] Tension damper according to claim 1 or 2, characterized byThe covers are glued to the main support body. This allows for easy assembly and disassembly of the covers, allowing the expander rubbers to be replaced or repaired as needed. [9] Tension damper according to claim 1 or 4, characterized by that the middle part is designed in such a way that it ensures additional lateral stabilization of the expander rubbers and thus limits movement in all directions.
