Description

[0001] Description

[0002] Title of the invention: Dismantable and height-adjustable frame for slacklines

[0003] [1] The invention relates to a demountable and height-adjustable frame for slacklines with a webbing support surface which rests on two upwardly converging supports which are connected to a cross tube at the bottom by connecting elements.

[0004] field of technology

[0005] [2] “Slackline” is the modern term for balancing webbing, which is usually attached between two trees at a low height. If no suitable trees are available, a slackline can also be mounted at other anchor points, such as ground anchors. Frames are needed to hold the slackline at the same height above the ground, so that there is sufficient height for balancing on the slackline and the person balancing in the middle of the slackline does not touch the ground.

[0006] State of the art

[0007] [3] A frame offered on the market is known from WQ2016037203A1, in which, however, depending on the set height, the supports protrude more or less far above the band support plate, which poses a safety risk to the person balancing.

[0008] Technical task

[0009] [4] The object of the invention is therefore to create a height-adjustable frame for slacklines which has no parts protruding upwards above the webbing support plate, which can be easily adjusted in height, and at the same time ensures that the webbing support plate is always horizontally adjustable, even on slopes. In addition, the frame should be easily foldable for space-saving transport.

[0010] Technical solution and advantageous effects of the invention

[0011] [5] According to the invention, the problem of claim 1 is solved in that the supports are designed as rectangular telescopic profile tubes, at the upper ends of which a U-shaped downwardly open strip support plate rests, and at this upper end of the support front has a material-side convex curve extending from the support surface facing the supports in the operating position, and at the upper end of the support rear has a material-side concave curve extending from the surface facing the supports in the operating position, which transitions into a straight line and then forms a material-side convex curve downwards in the direction of the support surfaces of the supports facing each other in the operating position, wherein in the operating position of the support the material-side convex curve at the upper end of the support front engages with the material-side concave curve at the upper end of the support rear of the opposite support,and the material-side convex curve shape at the upper end of the back of the support lies tangentially against the facing support surface of the opposite support, and a recess is formed from the back of the support to at least the centrally running longitudinal axis of the laterally facing support surfaces in the operating position, which interlock in the operating position of the supports, and that the supports have bearing bores which are arranged in alignment with two spaced-apart bearing bores on the vertical webs of the U-shaped downwardly open strip support plate for receiving the bearing elements, wherein the supports are pivotably connected to the strip support plate by means of the bearing elements.

[0012] [6] Such a frame enables quick and easy height adjustment and adaptation to slope gradients using telescopic beams. The concave curve at the upper end of the beam's rear surface interlocks with the convex curve at the front surface in the operating position. This has the surprising effect that when one beam is rotated by a certain angle around its bearing bore, the opposite beam automatically rotates by the same angle in the opposite direction. In other words, the beams' freedom of movement along their longitudinal axis is prevented, so that despite the two movable bearing points, the strip support plate can no longer change its angle and therefore always maintains a symmetrical angle between the two beams.Thus, the belt support surface is always horizontal on level surfaces. On slopes, the belt support plate can be adjusted to be as horizontal as possible by appropriately asymmetrically telescoped beams. Additionally, the convex curve on the back of the beam rests tangentially against the opposite beam, which further restricts the beam's movement along its longitudinal axis and ensures the belt support plate is held even more precisely at a symmetrical angle between the beams. The angle of the straight line connecting the concave curve on the back of the beam with the convex curve on the back determines the maximum spread angle of the beams in their operating position and thus forms an end stop. For example, at a maximum beam spread angle of 90°, this straight line is perpendicular to the beam's longitudinal axis.Because the different curved shapes are arranged in opposite directions on the front and back of the supports, any play between the interlocking curved shapes described above and the support surfaces tangentially adjacent to the convex curved shapes is further reduced, thus improving the maintenance of the symmetrical angle. The opposing recesses on the facing surfaces of the supports allow them to slide into one another at these points.

[0013] [7] An advantageous embodiment of the invention according to claim 2 consists in that equal and opposite webs are formed along the center of the longitudinal axis on the mutually facing surfaces of the supports.

[0014] [8] This has the positive effect that the supports are centered under the strip support plate and held in position.

[0015] [9] According to claim 3, it is also advantageous if the rear side of the beams forms support points for the strip support plate at the upper end in the form of a straight line extending perpendicular to the longitudinal axis of the beams, which originates from the beam surface facing the beams in the operating position and transitions outwards from the extended longitudinal axis of the beam passing through the center of the bearing bore into a convex arc segment on the material side, the radius of which originates from the center of the bearing bore of the beams.

[0010] The positive effect here is that when the frame is folded at a 0° spread angle of the beams, the straight line on the upper end face of the beams rests on the lower edge of the support plate, the beams can hardly be moved relative to each other, and thus easier engagement of the opposing convex and concave curves at the upper ends of the beams is made possible.As soon as the beams are in their operating position with a spread angle greater than 0°, contact points form between the convex circular arc of the beam ends and the support plate. This has the positive effect of transferring the forces of the slackline directly to the beams via the support plate, in addition to the bearing elements. Furthermore, this also reduces any potential play between the interlocking curves of the upper ends of the beams, thus stabilizing the support plate even more effectively and precisely at a symmetrical angle between the beams and in a horizontal position.

[0016]

[0011] Another advantageous variant of the invention according to claim 4 consists in that the supports have a nose formed above the recess in the support surfaces facing each other in the operating position, which projects 10°-45° in the direction of the web of the support opposite in the operating position.

[0017]

[0012] The positive effect is that when the frame is folded together at a 0° spreading angle of the supports, this nose projecting 10°-45° towards the opposite support is guided over the web of the opposite support and thus reliably prevents displacement along the longitudinal axis of the adjacent supports in both directions and thus ensures a secure locking of the convex curve of the front of the support into the concave curve of the rear of the support when spreading into the operating position of the supports.

[0018]

[0013] According to claim 5, a further advantageous embodiment of the invention consists in the fact that the band support plate has lateral stops for the slackline in the form of cylinder head screws.

[0019]

[0014] This has the advantage that the slackline cannot slip off the support plate, especially during strong lateral oscillations of the slackline, as can typically occur when balancing. The round head shape of the socket head cap screws protects the slackline from chafing at its lateral edges.

[0020]

[0015] According to claim 6, it is further advantageous if the coordinates for the material-side concave curve formed at the upper end of the back of the support are determined by the parametric representation P(x,y) is calculated where a is half the inclination angle of the supports (4) to each other, A is half the distance between the bearing holes of the strip support plate and B is the distance of the bearing hole of the support to the constructive height of the curve start of the concave curve shape of the support back, and the coordinate origin (x=0, y=0) is located at half the distance between the spaced bearing holes of the support plate.

[0021]

[0016] The surprising effect is that the shaping by the above-mentioned formulas of the parameter representation makes it possible for the material-side convex curve shape on the front of the support to interlock with the material-side concave curve shape on the back of the support to be exact, without which an exact symmetrical angle of the strip support plate between the supports would not be possible.

[0022]

[0017] A further advantageous embodiment of the invention according to claim 7 consists in the fact that the material-side convex curve formed at the upper end of the front of the support has a curve part in the upper 45° section of the curve which is formed by a horizontal reflection of the upper 45° section of a material-side concave curve part of the material-side concave curve of the rear of the support about a vertical axis, and the material-side convex curve formed at the upper end of the front of the support has a curve part in the lower 45° section of the curve which is formed by a reflection of the upper curve part of the curve about a 45° axis downwards, which has its starting point on the support surface facing the support in operating position at the level of the lower endpoint of the concave curve formed on the rear of the support.

[0023]

[0018] The advantage of a smaller clearance between the interlocking material-side convex curve of the support front and the material-side concave curve of the support rear arises from the fact that the upper 45° of the material-side convex curve of the support front is a vertical reflection of the upper 45° of the material-side concave curve on the support rear, and the lower 45° of the material-side convex curve of the support front is formed by a vertical and horizontal reflection of the upper 45° of the material-side concave curve on the support rear. The material-side convex curve of the support front can also be formed by simpler radii or other geometric shapes that fit into the material-side concave curve of the support rear, but this results in smaller contact areas and potentially larger clearance.
