Abstract
Description
Technical field
[0001] The invention relates to a stand foot adapter for elastically supporting a standing or support area of a device, in particular an indoor training device, against a surface on which it is placed. State of the art
[0002] In the prior art, stand adapters are known in which a fixed number of elastic elements are provided for support. Subsequent adjustments often require replacing the entire adapter. Technical problem
[0003] The invention is based on the technical problem of providing a stand adapter in which the number of elastic elements provided for elastic support can be changed by simple mechanical extension. Description of the invention
[0004] This technical problem is solved by a stand adapter having the features of claim 1.
[0005] The stand adapter according to the invention has a base adapter body (1) designed to receive a standing or support area (2) of a device. The base adapter body (1) provides at least one receptacle for receiving an elastic element (3).
[0006] To extend the base adapter, at least one extension module (4) is provided, which can be detachably connected to the base adapter body (1). The extension module (4) has at least one further receptacle for receiving an elastic element (3a, 3b, 3c).
[0007] By attaching the extension module (4), the number of receptacles for elastic elements provided on the base adapter is increased. The invention relates exclusively to the mechanical expandability of the base adapter and makes no statement about the interaction of several elastic elements or about systemic effects.
[0008] Versions of the stand adapter with and without extension module are described in the Fig. Numbers 1 to 4 are shown. Character description Fig. Figure 1 shows a schematic side view of a stand adapter with a base adapter body (1), a mounted stand or support area (2) and a mount with an elastic element (3). Fig. 2 shows the stand adapter according to Fig. 1 with an additional extension module (4) which has further mounts with elastic elements (3a, 3b, 3c). Fig. 3 shows the stand adapter according to Fig. 1 when the standing or support area (2) is subjected to a force (F). Fig. 4 shows the stand adapter according to Fig. 2 when the standing or support area (2) is subjected to a force (F).
Claims
[1] Stand adapter for elastically supporting a standing or support area (2) of a device against a mounting surface, comprising a base adapter body (1) with at least one receptacle for receiving an elastic element (3), characterized by , that at least one extension module (4) is provided which can be detachably connected to the basic adapter body (1) and has at least one further receptacle for receiving an elastic element (3a, 3b, 3c). [2] Stand adapter according to claim 1, characterized by , that several expansion modules (4) can be arranged on the basic adapter body (1). [3] Stand adapter according to claim 1 or 2, characterized by , that the extension modules (4) can be connected to the basic adapter body (1) in a form-fitting or force-fitting manner. [4] Stand adapter according to any one of the preceding claims, characterized by , that the receptacles are designed to accommodate spherical elastic elements (3, 3a, 3b, 3c).
