Method for increasing the straightening force of a pole

Abstract

The invention relates to the track and field equipment and may be useful for training pole vaulters. The booster mechanism is placed inside the pole and consists of several interconnected mechanisms. When the pole is bent in an arc, for example, at an angle of 120 degrees, the end walls of the bushings (6) deviate and form gaps (21), and at the moment of tensioning the carbon cable (7) the said cable compresses the ends of the bushing (6), and they tend to straighten vertically, aligning the axial channel of the pole (1). The technical result is the emergence of a force that increases the straightening force of the athletics pole for high jumps by at least 0.1-10 kilograms or more.

Description

[0001] Method for increasing the straightening force of a pole

[0002] The pole vault (1) consists of layers of fiberglass or carbon fiber or a combination thereof and has the shape of a hollow tube Fig. 5(A). The means for enhancing the jump "booster" 2 Fig. 5(B), 6(A,B) is located inside the pole (1).

[0003] "Booster" (2) comprises, - a tension module (4) located at the end of the pole, which the athlete holds onto; and loadable bushing elements (6) which extend at least to the middle of the pole's length.

[0004] "Booster" (2) consists of interconnected elements, during the interaction of which, in a bent pole, these elements are compressed, and then elastically self-center vertically, exerting a straightening effect on the walls of the pole with a force of about 1 to 10 kilograms or more.

[0005] This causes the bent axial channel of the pole to come to a vertical position, thereby creating an increase in the lifting force of the pole which propels the vaulter higher under the same starting conditions compared to a conventional pole.

[0006] TECHNICAL FIELD

[0007] The present invention relates to track and field equipment. More specifically, the present invention relates to pole vaulting, a method for increasing the lift of the pole, and two methods for performing the jump that provide the athlete with a higher jump.

[0008] BACKGROUND ART

[0009] Analogues of a pole with a tension element [1-2]

[0010] [1] The closest analogue is known from the USSR patent No. 4178, class A63B5 / 06, 1927 "VAULTING POLE". Containing a tubular wooden body and a means for preventing its deflection" in the form of a stretched string. It consists of straight-grained wood in the form of a tube (29), into both ends of which a wooden plug (30) is inserted, between which a (10) block (31) is located, through which a string (32) passes, which is secured to a hook (33), and the other end of the string is connected to a "support rod" (34), which is equipped with a nut (35), when screwed, the string (32) is stretched Fig. 2.

[0011] 1) disadvantage: clearly follows from the formula of the invention: [a pole for supporting against the ground, characterized in that in order to prevent sagging, a string is stretched inside], the disadvantage is the pre-stretched string (32) which creates rigidity preventing the pole from bending.

[0012] 2) disadvantage: the wood from which the pole body is made does not have the ability to bend, for example, to 120 degrees without breaking the body.

[0013] 3) disadvantage: the pole bends and unbends with the same force and does not have the ability to create an additional moment of force for unbending the pole when straightening the pole.

[0014] 4) disadvantage: the metal string (32) has a high tensile modulus, which does not allow this material to be used to create pulse tension with a limited stroke of the tensioning element.

[0015] [2] Another close analogue is known from US patent 3,813,098 A, class A63B59 / 06, 1971.

[0016] In Fig. 3, an isometric view and a longitudinal section view of a pre-stressed internal tubular structural element (36) and a multi-fiber strand (37), fixed with a conical plug (38), provide compression of structural elements by means of compression by means of internal or external fibers with a high elastic stretch potential of at least about 5-10 percent compared to the material subject to prestressing, with a destruction rate of no more than about one third over several years. The scope of application is pre-stressed concrete building structures, as well as products made of plastic or fiberglass composite resin such as a hockey stick, bat or mast structure or the like.

[0017] 1) disadvantage: the pre-stressed element exerts a constant load on the structural element, increases its rigidity in a static position, which increases with the slightest deviation of the structure, which does not allow the required flexibility of the prestressed element.

[0018] 2) disadvantage: there are no intermediate "pads" inside the structure, which does not allow supporting [multi-fiber strand (37)] longitudinally to the channel axis at bending angles comparable to 120 degrees. 3) disadvantage: high modulus of elastic tension [multi-fiber strand (37)] of at least 5-10 percent, cannot transmit impulse traction force, and on the contrary, dampen it.

[0019] 4) disadvantage: the design does not allow the pole to bend in the initial bending phase.

[0020] 5) disadvantage: the proposed solution exerts constant pressure and does not create additional impulse pressure on the structure, for example with a force of at least 100 kilograms, at the moment of bending the tubular structure by 70 degrees or more.

[0021] The closest analogue of the pole straightening mechanism [3]

[0022] [3] The closest analogue is known from the USSR patent No. 7161 , 1927, "Radio Mast" Fig. 3. The antenna mast was assembled from "sewing spools" (78), through the axial channel of which a rope was passed and strongly stretched. The compressed end ends of the "sewing spools" ensure a stable vertical position of the mast even if you try to tilt it to the side, and when the tension of the rope is relaxed, the structure easily folds.

[0023] 1) disadvantage: lack of modern materials comparable to the compressive strength of 13 kg per 1 square millimeter;

[0024] 2) disadvantage: lack of a system allowing the mast to bend at least 50 degrees with subsequent correction of the bend;

[0025] 3) disadvantage: lack of a cable with a low tensile modulus in combination with low weight;

[0026] Since 1896, pole vaulting has been an Olympic sport and the winning jump was 3.2 meters high. The first pole vaulters used a pole made of hardwood, then bamboo and in the 1950s, steel. The pole had a sharp end and was stuck into the ground and the competition took place on a grassy surface. These poles were not flexible enough. And in 1960, a pole made of fiberglass impregnated with epoxy resin was introduced to the Olympic Games. The new material was called fiberglass and had the ability to bend significantly to an impressive 120 degrees or more, and then straighten out, creating a catapulting effect sufficient to throw the athlete over a higher crossbar than bamboo and steel poles could do. And in three years, this allowed the world record to be increased by a quarter of a meter at once. Comparison of achievements:

[0027] • 1896 - wooden pole, jump height 3.55 m

[0028] • 1942 - bamboo pole, jump height 4.77 m

[0029] • 1960 - metal pole, jump height 4.80 m

[0030] • 1963 - fiberglass pole, jump height 5.05 m

[0031] • 1994 - fiberglass pole, jump height 6.14 m

[0032] • 2024 - fiberglass pole, jump height 6.24 m

[0033] From a physics point of view, the fiberglass vaulting pole is good at converting the kinetic energy of the running and then jumping pole vaulter into potential energy, which is stored in the curved pole and then released, straightening the pole and launches the vaulter.

[0034] TECHNICAL PROBLEM

[0035] The pole used by a heavy pole vaulter is stiffer than the pole used by a light pole vaulter and if the vaulter uses a pole designed for a heavier athlete, the pole will not bend optimally, and if the vaulter uses a pole designed for a lighter athlete, the pole will bend too much and in either case the vaulter will not be able to reach the maximum height.

[0036] Thus, using the current state of the art - a fiberglass pole, the vaulter is in a narrow range of optimal performance and must carefully select a pole for each situation, so an experienced vaulter uses 5, 6 poles, leaving softer poles for warmup and training, and having a choice of "competition" poles.

[0037] And although fiberglass was able to revolutionize pole vaulting sixty years ago, there are already some limitations for future achievements, since this material and the level of technology have not changed for six decades.

[0038] For example, in 1994, Sergey Bubka set his famous record on a fiberglass pole and reached a height of 6.14 m. And thirty years later, in 2024, a new record on a fiberglass pole rose only 10 cm.

[0039] And although modern pole manufacturers use various combinations of winding and laying fiberglass in combination with, for example, carbon roving or carbon fiber, but the minimal growth of world records over the past thirty years suggests that the existing combination of materials, training methods and level of technology is reaching its peak for a fiberglass pole.

[0040] NOTE

[0041] Further in the description, the name "fiberglass pole", "athletics pole", "pole" implies that this is a pole made of fiberglass and any combination of carbon fiber, carbon roving, layers of carbon fabric, layers of glass fabric, etc.;

[0042] And what the art of pole vaulting needs today is a way to add extra power to the fiberglass pole to provide a more energetic propels the vaulter to new record heights.

[0043] Vaulting to a record-breaking height for a vaulter has a number of advantages. For example, during training, a vaulter often vaults to a height that is familiar to him, which corresponds to his current level of training. But vaulting to a higher or even record-breaking height is not possible at every training session. And sometimes a vaulter sets his personal record during training, which he cannot repeat later.

[0044] Thus, a vaulter cannot gain the necessary experience of performing numerous vaults at the level of a personal record.

[0045] But if, for example, a booster is installed in a training pole, which helps the pole straighten and launches the vaulter higher, then this will allow the vaulter to more often vaults to a height that was previously inaccessible to him.

[0046] This advantage will significantly enrich the vaulting experience and will give the opportunity to repeatedly repeat the technique of a record vaults for the vaulter.

[0047] Vaulting to a record-breaking height for a vaulter has a number of advantages. For example, during training, a vaulter often vaults to a height that is familiar to him, which corresponds to his current level of training.

[0048] Another advantage of the invention is the ability to use poles that vaulter already has and which he uses for his vaults. This significantly simplifies the introduction of this invention into the training process, because there is no need to buy additional poles, while it becomes possible to make high vaults that were previously unavailable to vaulter, which will allow the athlete to quickly master the technique of performing another record vault.

[0049] At the same time, the invention gives vaulter another unique advantage, this is the ability to train the technique of performing a vault with a higher grip, at least 0.1- 0.3 meters higher than what was possible for vaulter before.

[0050] What is the grip height and how does it differ from the pole length? The grip height is the point at which the athlete holds the pole during the run-up. It can be lower than the full length of the pole (for example, a pole of 5.20 m and a grip of 5.00 m).

[0051] The ability to use the highest grip height and a long pole is a very important technical skill, on which modern pole vault records depend today. The best athlete will not be able to achieve his personal best on a pole that is too short with a low grip height.

[0052] For example, the absolute world record holder Armand Duplantis has the highest pole grip height of 5.5 meters, he is the only athlete in history who consistently grips the pole higher than 5.40-5.50 m, and in 2024 he set a new world high vault record of 6.24 meters. Armand Duplantis' grip is 5.50 m, this has been confirmed in official broadcasts and vault analyses, including: "Duplantis grips at about 5.50 meters — higher than anyone else in history" NBC Sports analysis, 2023.

[0053] This is explained by his:

[0054] - phenomenal run-up speed (more than 10 m / s);

[0055] - effective pole placement technique;

[0056] - extraordinary core and shoulder strength;

[0057] - ability to use a "long and rigid pole" created specifically for him by UCS Spirit (USA).

[0058] Comparison of grip heights among elite athletes:

[0059] The higher the "grip", the "more potential energy" the athlete can put into the pole — ► the higher the vault height.

[0060] But: the higher the grip, the "harder the pole must be", which means:

[0061] - "enormous run-up speed" is required (for Mondo -10.1-10.3 m / s).

[0062] Graph of the relationship between "grip height" and "record vault height" using data from elite pole vaulters:

[0081] • Renaud Lavillani: Grip 5.20 m — > Jump 6.16 m

[0082] • Chris Nielsen: Grip 5.20 m — > Jump 6.05 m

[0083] • Sam Kendricks: Grip 5.10 m Jump 6.06 m

[0084] • Maxim Timochenko: Grip 5.00 m — > Jump 5.92 m

[0085] Physical conclusions:

[0086] The higher the "grip", the more potential energy the athlete can put into the pole -> the higher the jump height.

[0087] But: the higher the grip, the "harder the pole should be", which means: enormous run-up speed" is required (for Mondo -10.1-10.3 m / s) and perfect technique is needed.

[0088] Thus, the "grip height" on the pole today predetermines the vault height and requires excellent physical preparation from the athlete.

[0089] And switching to a longer pole (or a higher grip) increases the length of the pole in front of the athlete and requires more effort to bring such a pole into a vertical position and this is a limitation for many athletes that does not allow them to train the technique of performing a higher vault.

[0090] And after six decades of the fiberglass pole, its length and grip height seem to have reached the maximum values for the physical capabilities of the vaulter.

[0091] At the same time, the rules for vaulting allow the use of poles of any length with any height (grip height) on the pole, while the pole can be made of any combination of materials - the main requirement is that the surface of the pole must be smooth and without connecting elements. These data suggest that a modern vaulter needs the ability to train a vault with a higher grip where the height of his vault was at least higher by the height of the grip and this requires:

[0092] - increasing the straightening ability of the fiberglass pole while maintaining its flexible properties

[0093] - with the ability to use a higher pole with a higher grip

[0094] - with the ability to throw the vaulter to an additional height comparable to the grip height

[0095] TECHNICAL EFFECT

[0096] The aim of the invention is to create a method for using the fiberglass poles already available to the vaulter to perform a record vault for the athlete.

[0097] Another aim of the invention is to use the claimed technical solution to create a new method for training a higher vault.

[0098] Another aim of the invention is to use the claimed technical solution to create a method for increasing the grip height on the pole by at least an additional 0.1-0.3 meters.

[0099] To implement the objectives of the invention, a "vault booster" has been developed, consisting of a "tension module" located inside the upper end of the pole.

[0100] The "vault booster" contains a number of interconnected devices located in the axial channel of the pole, some of which are pre-compressed and released at a certain point in time, while the other part is compressed, thereby increasing the straightening force of the pole by at least 0.1-10 kilograms additionally.

[0101] DESCRIPTION OF TWO METHODS OF PERFORMING A HIGH JUMP

[0102] In this description: "high vault" or "record vault" means a jump height that the vaulter could not previously achieve. "Habitual and optimal" grip height on the pole means the grip height on the pole at which the vault is maximally high without using the invention. "Optimal pole" or "favorite pole" means a pole that is well known to the vaulter and which he has previously used in competitions or training before using the "vault booster".

[0103] The "first" mode of operation of the invention is intended for "the method of making a record vault with a habitual and optimal grip height on the pole." In this case, the activation of the "tension module" occurs after the pole has completely bent and almost at the moment of the start of the straightening phase of the pole, and this allows the vaulter to make a record vault with a habitual grip height on the pole.

[0104] The "second" mode of operation of the invention is intended for the "method of performing a record vault" on the same pole, but with a grip height that exceeds the usual and optimal, for example, by 0.1 -0.3 meters. In this case, the "tension module" is activated at the moment of bending the pole and will not allow the pole to sag more than necessary and will provide an energetic rise of the vaulter. Thus, on the one hand, the vaulter was able to jump onto the pole with a higher grip, and on the other hand, the pole retained the ability to energetically lift the vaulter to a record height.

[0105] As is known from the state of the art of fiberglass pole, an athlete can choose a higher grip on his pole, for example, take a grip higher than his usual and optimal grip on the pole by 0.1 -0.3 meters and vault on a longer pole. But this will show a disadvantage, due to the increased leverage, the pole will become more flexible, sags more and will not propels the vaulter up quite energetically. Therefore, in order to use a higher grip on the pole, the vaulter needs to switch to a harder pole, but this will show another disadvantage - the athlete can no longer vault on this harder and higher pole. Although, at the same time, each vaulter periodically vaults on a pole that is relatively long for him / her but too flexible, for example, this can happen when choosing and testing new poles or taking a higher grip on his / her "optimal pole". But this is not used because such a pole loses energy when pushing the vaulter out and the vault height is not sufficient.

[0106] Thus, on existing fiberglass poles, any vaulter can take a higher grip, for example on his optimal pole, and jump onto a longer pole, but for such a vaults to become effective and reach the desired height, the pole must begin to have new properties.

[0107] 1). first cycle: so, observing safety precautions, the pole should be undamaged, preferably new and with a long service life with the ability to withstand extreme bending when the vaulter hangs and not break, - and the vaulter chooses exactly such a proven pole, takes a high grip 0.1 -0.3 meters higher than his usual and optimal grip and makes a normal vault.

[0108] 2). second cycle: a few tenths of a second before the end of the full bend, the pole "suddenly" begins to become more rigid, so much so that it stops sagging under the weight of the vaulter.

[0109] 3). third cycle: the pole begins to vigorously lift the vaulter to a height, so much so that it levels out the higher grip on the pole and ensures the rise of the vaulter to an additional height equal to at least the height of the grip by 0.1 -0.3 meters.

[0110] The technical result of the invention is the occurrence of a force in the axial channel of the pole, which ensures a more energetic straightening of the pole with a force of at least 0.1-10 kg or more. In this case, the bending force of the pole will be less than the straightening force of the pole by at least 0.1-10 kg. In this case, the moment of occurrence of an additional force straightening the bent pole can be preliminarily adjusted by the jumper from a smartphone.

[0111] The technical result is achieved due to the fact that the claimed invention implements an "activation moment control system" that allows flexible adjustment of the activation moment of the "tension module" down to 0.01 seconds. For example, during a vault, the vaulter runs up and sticks a straight pole into the "pole vault box"(3) Fig. 1 and from this moment the vaulter spends 1.8 seconds on making a vault. Thus, 1 second is spent on the phase of pushing off the ground and full bending of the pole. And the straightening of the pole occurs in 0.8 seconds. And if the "first" operating mode is used, the activation time of the "tension module" is set to 1 second from the moment the pole hits the pole vault box.

[0112] When using the "second" mode of operation, the activation time is set to 0.7, 0.75 or 0.8 seconds (the exact activation time is selected empirically by each athlete individually).

[0113] Thus, in the “second” mode of operation, the “tension module” is activated before the pole is fully bent and manages to catch the weight of the vaulter before the pole is fully bent and helps the pole stop further bending and begin vigorous straightening.

[0114] "The activation moment control system" allows the athlete or his coach to use "two modes of operation" of the invention and fine-tune the activation time of the "tension module" depending on the current task - training the height of the grip on the pole or training a high vault with a familiar and optimal grip on the pole.

[0115] Also, the "activation moment control system" allows you to adjust the claimed invention for vaulters from different weight categories who use poles of different lengths and with different ranges of rigidity.

[0116] The technical result can be considered using the example of a vaulter vault weighing 80 kg, with a pole equipped and not equipped with the invention. Thus, when jumping with a pole not equipped with the invention with an athlete weighing 80 kg, the kinetic force bending the pole and the potential energy unbending the pole will be approximately the same and are conditionally equal to 80 kg.

[0117] And if the vaulter uses the same pole but with the invention built into it, then the kinetic energy bending the pole will still be 80 kg, and the potential energy straightening the pole will be 80 kg, + 10 kg due to the invention. Thus, the bending force of the pole will be less than the straightening force of the pole by 10 kg, and this will allow the pole to launches the vaulter to a height 10 kg more energetically. The claimed device is illustrated by the drawings.

[0118] The technical result is achieved due to the fact that the claimed invention is a booster (2) Fig. 5 (B) which is placed in the pole (1) Fig. 5 (A). The booster (2) is a "tension module" (4) in which a "cable tension spring" (5) Fig. 6 (A, B) is placed, which is connected to the carbon cable (7), bushings (6), damper (8) and other parts.

[0119] Before making a jump, the vaulter compresses the "cable tension spring" using a specially designed "spring compression mechanism" which contains a jack (15) Fig. 10. The more powerful the "cable tension spring" (5), the greater the lifting force of the pole.

[0120] To use the invention, vaulters with different levels of training and different weights use "cable tension springs" with different load levels.

[0121] SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION

[0122] The claimed invention consists of several interconnected mechanisms and devices, such as a "tension module", "cable tension spring locking mechanism", "cable fastening unit" and "cable tension spring compression mechanism", "activation torque control system", "pole wall straightening mechanism", "damper mechanism". All dimensions of the claimed device given in the description are not a limitation, but are indicated for the sake of completeness and may vary depending on the internal diameter of the pole, the length of the pole, and the power of the claimed device while maintaining the interrelations.

[0123] The claimed device is located in the vault pole (1) Fig. 5(A) and is a booster (2) Fig. 5, including a "compression modulus" (4) Fig. 6(A) and a number of elements comparable to a "cylindrical sleeve" (6) Fig. 8, through which a composite cable passes, preferably carbon fiber rope, carbon composite cable (7) Fig. 6(B), comparable to a low tensile modulus, up to 1-1.5 percent before failure.

[0124] The carbon cable (7) is connected to the damper (8) (Fig. 6(A), which allows the end ends of the bushing (6) mounted on the carbon cable (7) to be compressed. When the axial channel of the pole, the bushing (6) bends, the end ends of the bushing deflect, forming a “gap” (21), comparable to the accordion mechanism Fig.12. In this case, the end ends of the bushings (6) maintain alignment relative to each other due to the spring loading of the damper (8). In this case, the damper (8) springs and presses the end curved shape of the saddles (11) Fig.8, which itself centers the end ends of the bushing (6) relative to each other, preparing them for enhanced straightening due to the future powerful pressure of the "tension module"(4).

[0125] Meanwhile, the electric wire (10) with a quick-release connection passes through the damper body (8) towards the support tip (9) and is connected to the sensor (28) Fig. 7 (D), which is connected to the battery (27) and the Wi-Fi relay (26), connected to each other by a series circuit shown in Fig. 18.

[0126] The "tension module" (4) Fig. 7 (C) is a cylindrical body, preferably made of aluminum (Fig. 13), the outer diameter of which is comparable to the inner diameter of the pole (1) with a gap of 0.5 - 1 mm. The length of the "tension module" (4) depends on the length of the "tension module spring" (5), as well as on the mechanism of the "cable tension spring retainer" and the "cable fastening unit". The length of the "tension module spring" (5) is comparable to 15 cm, and can be longer, while the length of the entire body of the "tension module" (4) is comparable to 45 - 65 cm.

[0127] The said spring is compressed by the jack (15) Fig. 10 (A, B) before the jump and is held in the compressed state by the rod (22), which for this purpose interacts with the shutter (39) Fig. 14, which is connected to the starting sleeve (52) Fig. 16, which is set in motion by the solenoid (25), which for this purpose receives the corresponding electric charge via the electric wire (10) Fig. 17 (B), connected to the sensor (28) Fig. 7 (E), which reacts to the impact load or overload, which is triggered when the pole tip (9) hits the pole vault box (3) Fig. 1 and sends a signal via the electric circuit Fig. 18 to the time relay, which, after the time set using the smartphone and Wi-Fi device, sends an electric impulse to the solenoid (25), sufficient for its movement in the direction away from the shutter (39) Fig. (A).

[0128] The "cable tension spring" (5) is connected via a rod (22) and a piston (23) to the "cable attachment unit" (24) and the carbon cable (7) Fig. 7(C), which passes inside the bushings (6) Fig. 7(D), Fig. 8) and at the outlet from them is connected to the "damper rod with an eye" (47), located inside the damper housing (8) Fig. 7(E).

[0129] The carbon cable (7) is made of carbon fiber yarn in the form of straight strands. The rope can also be made of Kevlar fibers or steel wire, but carbon or Kevlar fiber rope is preferred because it is lighter in weight and has a low tensile modulus before breaking, comparable to 1-2 percent.

[0130] The low tensile modulus of tensile helps to maintain and transmit the impulse of the straightening spring - the "rope tension spring" (5), which has a preferred extension length of 15 cm (the specified length is not a limitation) and at the same time has only 2 cm of compression and 1.5 cm of the current expansion stroke during tension after compression. This short travel length should not be spent on elongating the carbon rope in accordance with the requirements of its manufacture.

[0131] For example,

[0132] - "cable tension spring" (5) creates tension of 1500 kg.,

[0133] - with the length of carbon cable (7), = 5 meters, its extension even by 1 percent, gives about + 5 centimeters for tension, in this case carbon cable will not be able to effectively transmit the impulse compressive load to the end sides of the bushing (6) with a minimum working movement of "cable tension spring" (5) comparable to 1.5 cm.

[0134] Therefore, in order to ensure maximum efficiency from the operation of the "cable tension spring" (5) and at the same time to level out the effect of stretching, carbon cable (7) is made of a material with the lowest tensile modulus before failure. And at the same time the cross-section of carbon cable a is selected in such a way that the safety margin of carbon cable a at break exceeds the load level created by the "cable tension spring" (5) by at least 3 - 5 times, and this allows carbon cable (7) to transmit the load from the said spring and to level out its own stretching and effectively compress the walls of the bushings (6). The bushings (6) are made so that their diameter is 1-2 mm smaller than the internal diameter of the pole. This allows the bushings (6) to freely pass into the axial channel of the pole and fill the internal volume.

[0135] Each bushing has an opening (12) Fig. 8 turning into the axial channel for the passage of the carbon cable (7) Fig. 7(D).

[0136] The said opening (12) can be located:

[0137] Option 1: in the center of the end of the bushing Fig. 20 (A), 23(A) and due to this the carbon cable is in the center of the rounded profile of the pole, at a distance of about 15-20 mm from the walls of the pole;

[0138] Option 2: near the peripheral edge Fig. 20(B), 23(B) with the possibility of ensuring retention of the carbon cable (7) in the range of 1-7 mm from the wall of the axial channel of the pole (1). In this case, the end face of the sleeve (6) is comparable to an isosceles triangle with rounded corners, at the apex of which there is a hole (12), and the opposite side is made in the form of a rounded wide arc, which is a counterpart for the inner round wall of the pole (1). In this case, the carbon cable (7) during the bending of the pole lies in the range of 2-7 mm from the outer wall of the bend Fig. 11 (B), 12 and is at a distance of 25-30 mm from the inner wall of the bend of the pole.

[0139] When the pole is bent in an arc, for example at an angle of 120 degrees, the end walls of the bushings (6) deviate and form gaps (21) Fig. 12 and at the moment of tension of the carbon cable (7), the carbon cable compresses the bushings and they tend to straighten out, pressing on the walls of the pole, while between the bushings, carbon cable ohm and the pole the rule of the lever AI*FI = Ae*Fe arises, which creates a gain in force depending on the power of the spring pressure, the height of the carbon cable a from the wall of the pole and the length of the pole.

[0140] For example, with a pole length of 5 meters and its arcuate bend, the length of its lever is 2.5 meters. And with a tension of the carbon cable a of 1000 kg, an additional gain in the lifting force of the pole from 6 to 12 kg is created. Thus, when laying the carbon cable a along the center of the pole's circumference, the load application arm is 1.5-2 cm, and the gain in lifting force will be 6 kg, and when laying the carbon cable along the wall of the pole that is external to the bend, then the load application arm will be 2.5-3 cm, and the additional lifting force is 12 kg.

[0141] This explains the difference between the lifting force of 6 kg and 12 kg with the same tension force of the "cable tension spring" (5).

[0142] Comparison of the increase (Fe) of the lifting force of the pole in kilograms depending on the location of the carbon cable in the pole, where, the spring pressure force (Fl); the arm of force application (Ae), which is equal to half the length of the curved support.

[0143] Al - load application shoulder from 1.5 to 3 cm

[0144] Fl - load force, spring pressure 1000 kg

[0145] Ae - force application shoulder 250 cm (half of the pole length 500 cm)

[0146] Fe - gain in kilogram force

[0147] Lever rule: (Al) * (Fl) = (Ae) * (Fe)

[0148] (Al)1.5 cm * (Fl)1000 kg = (Ae)250 cm * (Fe) 6 kg

[0149] (Al) 1.5 cm * (FI)700 kg = (Ae)250 cm * (Fe) 4.2 kg

[0150] (Al) 3 cm * (Fl) 1000 kg = (Ae)250 cm * (Fe) 12 kg

[0151] (Al) 3 cm * (FI)700 kg = (Ae)250 cm * (Fe) 8.4 kg

[0152] With the pressure force of the "cable tension spring" (5) of 1000 kg, and the carbon cable a passing through the center of the bushings Fig. 11 (B), the increase in kilogram force will be 6 kg, and with the carbon cable a (7) passing along the wall of the pole that faces outward of the bend Fig. 11 (B), the increase in kilogram force will be 12 kg.

[0153] Thus, it is more preferable to place the carbon cable (7) along the wall of the pole that faces outward of the bend, since, for example, the compressive strength reserve of the end faces of the bushings (6) is limited. So, to ensure light weight, the bushings (6) are made of a durable material such as polyethylene terephthalate or polycarbonate, a material with a compressive strength of 13 kg per 1 square millimeter.

[0154] At the same time, so that the ends of the bushings can withstand the compressive pressure of the carbon cable and at the moment of bending the pole, on the end faces where the bushings are joined, they have a rounded convex shape in the form of a saddle (11) Fig. 8 and on the opposite end has a mating concave surface facing inward into the end of the bushing (6), which acts as a hinge joint. This allows the bushings to be joined end to end with each other and to center themselves and at the moment of bending of the pole to deviate in the saddle (11) comparable to a hinged joint and at the same time the rounded saddle (11) provides a large contact area, so that it is capable of withstanding the pressure of the "cable tension spring" (5) even at the moment of deviation of the end faces of the bushing (6).

[0155] For example, in the bushings presented in the invention, the saddle (11) Fig. 8 has an area of 180 square millimeters, which provides the contacting end faces of the bushings with a safety margin of up to 2340 kg in the places of contact thrust joints.

[0156] At the same time, when manufacturing the claimed bushing (6) from the required material during casting on a thermoplastic machine, it is necessary to maintain a uniform thickness of all walls of the product in order to ensure uniform shrinkage of the walls of the product.

[0157] To ensure this, a special two-component form was developed Fig. 25 where the bushing (6) consists of interconnected component parts that are inserted suddenly into each other and are joined in this way. The widest saddle (11) consists of a set of parallel vertical faces that are inserted into each other, while in another implementation the saddle is made in a form capable of holding an aluminum support insert, while the composite design of the bushings (6) ensures the required uniform thin-walledness of the entire product.

[0158] At the same time, it is widely known that the internal diameter of the pole is in the region of 35-48 mm, based on this, the diameter of the bushing (6) is selected, while as can be seen in Fig. 12, the length of the bushing (6) is comparable to the diameter of the pole and can exceed it, for example, have a length of 50 mm. At the same time, for the standard operation of the booster (2) Fig. 5, the total length of the series of bushings (6) is sufficient, which will exceed half the length of the pole by about 30-50 percent and this will be enough to create a support for the lever, which will lie in the middle and most curved part of the pole.

[0159] Thus, if the pole is 5 m, then the effective length of the section of the series of bushings (6) = 3 m, + the "compression modulus" device (4) the length of which is 0.5-0.65 cm. The middle of the pole is 2.5 m, taking into account that the section of the bushing (6) begins with an indentation from the end edge of the pole of 0.5 m, then 3 m will lie in the second half of the pole to a depth of 1 m, this is the preferred option and sufficient for a pole 5 meters long.

[0160] To cover a distance of 3 m, 60 bushings (6) are required, each 5 cm long; at an angle of the pole of about 120 degrees, the length of the outer radius increases by about 5 cm, which is evenly distributed between the 60 bushings, forming a gap between the end faces of the bushings of 0.625 mm Fig. 12.

[0161] At the same time, if the carbon cable (7) runs along the outer wall of the bend Fig. 11 (B), 20 (B), then the booster (2) is installed in the pole (1) taking into account the place of the pole bend indicated by the pole manufacturer.

[0162] It is not difficult for a jumper to determine this place on the pole. For example, such marks of the best pole bend are left by pole manufacturers who, during the pole bend test, determine the “soft and flexible” side of the pole and mark in which direction the athlete should bend the pole when performing a vault with a pole.

[0163] Thus, the athlete lifts one end of the pole with his hand and, focusing on the side of the greatest sag, determines the soft side and the preferred side for bending the pole.

[0164] Then the vaulter, taking into account the "soft" side of the pole, takes the pole with such a grip that at the moment of the vault, the pole bends towards 11 o'clock, so that the forward movement of the vaulter does not collide with the pole.

[0165] And if the vaulter is left-handed, then the pole is taken with such a grip that during the vault the pole bends towards 13 o'clock. Thus, when installing the booster (2) in the pole, it is necessary to take into account the location of the “soft” side of the pole, into which the pole preferably bends when making a jump. And the carbon cable should run along the most curved wall, which runs on the outer side of the bend.

[0166] In this case, the booster (2) has graphic markings (18.1) located on its body and on the body of the cover (18) Fig. 17 (B) which show the location of the axis of the carbon cable (7).

[0167] Installation steps:

[0168] 1. determine the soft side of the pole

[0169] 2. determine the location of the carbon cable in the booster (2)

[0170] 3. push a series of bushings (6) into the axial channel of the pole taking into account the soft side of the pole

[0171] 4. push the body of the "tension module" (4) into the axial channel of the pole observing the correct positioning of the mark (18.1) of the carbon cable (7)

[0172] So, before the jump, the vaulter checks the mark (18.1) where the carbon cable (7) runs and whether it corresponds to the direction of the future bend of the pole.

[0173] And if everything matches, then you can start vaulting.

[0174] With the central location of the carbon cable (7) Fig. 20(A), the mark on the cover (18) is not required, since the carbon cable (7) is always located in the axial center of the pole circumference (1) when the pole is bent in any direction.

[0175] It should be taken into account that all dimensions are given as an example and are not a limitation, as they can change while maintaining the relationship due to the different diameters of the poles and their different lengths.

[0236] DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0237] The claimed invention consists of several interconnected mechanisms and devices, such as

[0238] - "compression modulus" - "mechanism for locking the tension spring carbon cable"

[0239] - "fastening unit carbon cable"

[0240] - "damper mechanism"

[0241] - "mechanism for removing the bending of the pole" - bushing (6)

[0242] - "activation torque control system"

[0243] - "mechanism for cocking the tension spring carbon cable"

[0244] COMPRESSION MODULUS»

[0245] "Compression module" (4) Fig. 6A is a cylindrical aluminum body Fig. 6 (A), which consists of three elements connected into a guide tube - the body.

[0246] To increase wear resistance, the body can be made of aluminum alloy with an anodic-oxide coating. The anodic-oxide coating provides an increase in the wear resistance of the working surface by 10-20 times while maintaining the strength characteristics of the base material. The coating can also be applied to the lid (18), plug (41) and painted in different colors using the adsorption painting method for color identification of boosters (2) of different capacities, for example:

[0247] - Green body: +2 kg when straightening the pole

[0248] - Blue body: +4 kg when straightening the pole

[0249] - Yellow body: +6 kg when straightening the pole

[0250] - Gold body: +8 kg when straightening the pole

[0251] - Red body: +10 kg when straightening the pole

[0252] In the preferred embodiment, the elements of the guide pipe - the "compression modulus" body (4) are made of an aluminum alloy from the following list

[0253] Alloy tensile strength as, MPa

[0254] 6063-T6 240

[0255] 6061 -T6 310 (+30%)

[0256] 7075-T6 570 (+140%) 2024-T4 470 (+95%)

[0257] CALCULATION FOR A PIPE 0100x1.5 mm:

[0258] BREAKING LOAD:

[0259] • 6063-T6: Fpasp = 240 x 470 = 112 kN (11.2 t)

[0260] • 7075-T6: Fpasp = 570 x 470 = 268 kN (26.81)

[0261] Body and elements "compression modulus" (4) Fig. 13 with wall thickness from 1 to 10 mm and end caps, - cover (18), plug (41) Fig. 7(B), 13.

[0262] UPPER TUBULAR ELEMENT (58),

[0263] - the inner diameter and height are made with the possibility of placing a "cable tension spring" (5) and ensuring the normal operation of the device.

[0264] It has a thread (90) near the end face on the outer wall, which is a counterpart to the thread (90.1) located on the inner side wall of the cover (18) Fig. 29, ensuring the screwing of the said cover and its retention during the normal operation of the "compression modulus" (4). Moreover, the cover (18) has an ergonomic smooth upper outer side with an opening (17), which can have a chamfer, and is made with the provision of the passage of the pusher (19) Fig. 10.

[0265] The side wall of the cover (18) is made with a thickness that covers the protrusion of the cuff (14) Fig. 29 and thereby makes the upper tip of the pole (1) rounded in the area of the upper end of the pole, for which the vaulter holds on with his hands during the run-up.

[0266] The rounded shape of the cover (18) provides the necessary rounded smoothness of the upper end part of the pole (1) which protects the athlete when vaulting.

[0267] Under the cover (18) there is an annular projection - a cuff (14) Fig. 5 (A, B), protruding beyond the outer diameter of the support (1) Fig. 10 (B) by a height and width of about 3-10 mm, sufficient to provide support on the V-shaped frame of the support (54) Fig. 10 (A) when the “cable tension spring” (5) is compressed. The cuff (14) is a perpendicular projection on the outer wall of the “compression module” (4) housing (Fig. 6), located next to the end portion of the upper element (58) (Fig. 13) at a distance from the end edge comparable to the long side wall of the cover (18) (Fig. 29).

[0268] In this case, the upper element (58) in the lower end portion on the inner wall has a cylindrical plug (82), in which an axial channel (22.1) is made for the passage of the rod (22).

[0269] In this case, the connection unit (82.2) of the cylindrical plug (82) and the upper tubular element (58) is designed to retain the force of the cable tension spring (5).

[0270] On the outer cylindrical wall of the cylindrical plug (82) a thread (82.1) is made, which is a mating thread for the thread (82.3) passing along the inner wall of the end of the middle tubular element (59).

[0271] MIDDLE TUBULAR ELEMENT (59),

[0272] - the inner diameter and height are made with the possibility of placing the "carbon cable tension spring locking mechanism" and ensuring the normal operation of the device.

[0273] The middle tubular element (59) is connected to the upper element (58) by means of a mating thread on the inner wall of the end (82.3);

[0274] LOWER TUBULAR ELEMENT (60.1),

[0275] - the inner diameter and height are made with the possibility of placing the "carbon cable fastening unit" and ensuring the normal operation of the device.

[0276] It is joined with the middle element (59) by means of the difference in diameter and the projection for joining (60), and from the opposite end it is closed with a "plug" (41) Fig. 7(C) which in the preferred embodiment has an opening in the peripheral part with a diameter allowing the carbon cable y (7) and the electric wire to pass through it. All elements of the housing are made of high-strength aluminum.

[0277] MECHANISM COMPRESSION MODULUS (4) Fig. 7(C) includes,

[0278] - cable tension spring (5) - rod (22)

[0279] - piston (23)

[0280] - shock absorber (40)

[0281] - cover (18), cover opening (17)

[0282] Cable tension spring (5)

[0283] The cylindrical element (item 3) is preferably an instrument spring (5) according to ISO 10243, placed in the housing of the compression module (4). However, it is obvious to a specialist that the term covers other energy-accumulating elements (gas cartridges, elastic polymers), if they perform the function specified in item 3.

[0284] The mechanism uses an instrumented compression spring manufactured in accordance with the international standard ISO 10243. The spring is designed to operate under extreme static / dynamic loads up to 2000 kg (19.6 kN) in confined spaces.

[0285] Key parameters:

[0286] Outer diameter (D) 25-40 mm (overall limitation)

[0287] Wire cross-section: Rectangular (not round!)

[0288] Material: Chrome vanadium steel (EN 10089)

[0289] Free length (Lo) On request (adjustable)

[0290] Load class: STSHS (super heavy) or STHH (hyper heavy)

[0291] Marking color: Brown (STSHS) / Additional class (STHH)

[0292] Working load: Up to 2000 kg per spring

[0293] Differences from round section springs:

[0294] Rectangular wire section provides:

[0295] Increased energy capacity** by 15-20% with the same outer diameter;

[0296] The declared mechanism includes an instrumental compression spring (for example, ISO 10243 STSHS 40^100) made of chrome-vanadium steel with a rectangular wire section. The spring has an outer diameter of up to 40 mm, a free length of 100 mm and provides a working force of up to 1630 kgf when compressed by 20 mm or more with other parameters, for example, a longer length or a different radius.

[0297] Description of the unit: rod (22) - piston (23)

[0298] 1. General configuration:

[0299] The composite unit includes a cylindrical rod (22) 30-60 mm long with an end mount of the piston (23). Designed to transmit spring force (up to 2000 kg) and interact with the pusher (19) and the bolt (39).

[0300] 2. Rod parameters (22):

[0301] Main diameter: 5-9 mm (over most of the length)

[0302] Thickened section: 0 12 mm, length 100 mm

[0303] Thickening shape: Cylindrical with conical bevels to the main rod

[0304] Breech shelf: Flat fragment in the middle part of the thickening (width 3-5 mm) Mounting thread: At the end opposite the piston

[0305] Material: High-strength steel (30KhGSA, 40KhNMA)

[0306] 3. Piston parameters (23): Diameter: 38 mm Thickness: 5-8 mm

[0307] Mounting method: Threaded connection with the end of the rod Self-centering recess: Spherical, 0 6 mm x depth 4 mm

[0308] The mechanism comprises a composite rod (22) made of heat-strengthened 40KhNMA steel. A piston (23) 0 38 mm with a spherical recess (0 6x4 mm) for self-centering contact with the pusher is fixed to the first end of the rod. The 100 mm long section of the rod has a diameter of 12 mm and contains a flat shelf (4±0.5 mm wide) for fixing with the bolt (39). The opposite end of the rod is equipped with an M8x1 thread for connection to the traction cable. The geometry of the unit ensures the transmission of a force of 2000 kgf without loss of coaxiality.

[0309] Key functional features: 1. Power transmission:

[0310] The piston end (23) serves as a support for the instrument spring (load up to 2000 kg). The spherical recess ensures self-centering upon contact with the response pusher, compensating for radial displacement

[0311] 2. Interaction with the shutter:

[0312] A flat shelf on the thickened section of the rod forms a stop for engaging the shutter mechanism. The design eliminates slippage under loads of up to 1.5 tf (estimated safety factor 1.3).

[0313] 3. Stress distribution:

[0314] Conical transitions between sections of the rod reduce stress concentration. The use of 30KhGSA steels (a_B £ 1600 MPa) guarantees the absence of residual deformation under maximum load.

[0315] Shock absorber (40)

[0316] Cylindrical damper that absorbs shock loads when the rod mechanism (22) is triggered. Provides smooth braking of moving units and vibration damping.

[0317] Key parameters:

[0318] Outer diameter (D): 38 ± 0.5 mm

[0319] Axial bore (d): 8-10 mm (for fitting on the rod)

[0320] Length (L): 20-50 mm (adjusts rigidity)

[0321] End shape: spherical chamfers (R = 2-3 mm)

[0322] Material: Polyurethane (Shore A 80-90) or Butyl rubber (Shore A 70-85)

[0323] Design features:

[0324] Compatibility: The internal channel 08-10 mm ensures the passage of the pusher (19) without a gap. - Contact surfaces: Rounded ends prevent stress concentration when striking the piston (23) or cover body (18).

[0325] - Working deformation: Allows compression up to 30% of L without residual deformation.

[0326] Functional advantages:

[0327] 1. Damping coefficient 0.4-0.6 (for polyurethane) reduces peak loads by 60% at impact speeds up to 2 m / s.

[0328] 2. Wear resistance:

[0329] ARPN 70 material (analogous to Vulkollan®) retains elasticity at temperatures of - 40°C...+120°C and in contact with oils.

[0330] 3. Geometric adaptation:

[0331] Chamfers on the ends ensure self-centering when in contact with a 038 mm piston.

[0332] Implementation of the invention*:

[0333] (40) The mechanism includes a cylindrical shock absorber made of polyurethane (Shore A 85) with an outer diameter of 38 mm, a length of 30 mm and an axial channel of 09 mm. The part is installed coaxially to the rod (22) and interacts with the end surface of the piston (23). Roundings with a radius of 2 mm on both ends eliminate local fracture of the material under compression under a load of up to 500 kgf.

[0334] Calculated load:

[0335] For a length of 30 mm: working compression force of 150-300 kgf (with a deformation of 15-25%).

[0336] Alternative materials:

[0337] Butyl rubber (Isobutylene Isoprene Rubber):* For vibration isolation in aggressive environments. Silicone (VMQ):* At a temperature of >150°C.

[0338] CARBON CABLE TENSION SPRING LOCKING MECHANISM

[0339] Contains,

[0340] - "shutter" (39), which has the shape of a U-shaped bracket Fig.14, on top of which there is

[0341] - "shutter frame" (61), in the form of a perpendicular cutout relative to,

[0342] - "shutter legs" (62), which has a gentle slope of at least half of its length and rests on these slopes in

[0343] - "shutter spring" (43) Fig.7 (C), which is fixed on

[0344] - the "rack-shelf1(45) of FIG. 15 and is made in the form of a circular base with an opening for the passage of the rod (22) and a vertical rack in the area of the peripheral edge to which the "shutter spring" (43) is attached, and the rounded base serves as a support for the "solenoid spring" (42).

[0345] In this case, the shutter (39) rests against the "head of the shutter" (64) against the "washer of the shutter" (44) of Fig.7 (C), and the "frame of the shutter" (61) holds the rod (22), catching on the "shelf of the rod" (63) of Fig.14, while In this case, the "shutter leg" (62) is locked and held by the "trigger sleeve" (52), which is fixed to the solenoid (25) of Fig.7 (C).

[0346] The rod (22) and all its elements, as well as the shutter (39) and the shutter washer (44) are made of high-strength steel with the ability to withstand standard loads during operation of the tension module with automatic mutual engagement and uncoupling during interaction.

[0347] The rod (22) at the upper end end contains a "piston" (23) in the form of a perpendicularly arranged washer against which the "cable tension spring" (5) rests, and in the middle part, which has a diameter in the range of 9-15 mm, there is a perpendicular cutout, in the form of a mating part for interaction with the perpendicular cutout of the shutter frame (61). In this case, the rack-shelf (45) is mounted with a round base at the junction of the lower part (60) with the middle part (59) by means of mounting on a protrusion formed by a diameter difference at the junction (60).

[0348] In this case, the rounded base has a hole in the center of the circle for the passage of the rod (22,1) of Fig. 15 and near the peripheral edge against the vertical rack has a "second" hole (67) for the passage of electrical wiring.

[0349] In this case, the spring (42) of the solenoid rests on the specified rounded base, on which the solenoid (25) stands, on which the "trigger sleeve" (52) of Fig.16 is located, equipped with a button (68) connected to electrical wires (69) that are connected to the solenoid (25) and through the "second" hole (67) they pass into the "lower part" (60).

[0350] And through the “nut with end frame” 80 and through the hole for the electric wire” (79) Fig. 21 and then through the “hole in the plug” (41.1) it penetrates into the hole for the electric wire (12.1) Fig. 8 and in the form of an electric wire (10) Fig. 7 (D) passes through all the bushings (6), as well as through the channel (56) Fig. 19(B) of the adapter bushing (55) and the holes for the electric wire (79) in the damper (8).

[0351] 1. The angle of the legs (62): 35-45° (optimum for smooth running) are made to ensure the normal operation of the mechanism.

[0352] 2. The diameter of the wire channels: 3.0±0.1 mm (wire standard 18 AWG)

[0353] 3. Shutter material: Steel 30KhGSA (OB = 1600 MPa)

[0354] 4. Solenoid stroke: 5±3 mm (for complete release of the legs)

[0355] Bushing Design (52)

[0356] A cylinder-shaped component, which can be manufactured from aluminum, brass, bronze, plexiglass, or plastic. It has an axial channel designed to accommodate a rod (22.1), as shown in Fig. (16a). The height of the bushing is typically between 10 and 20 millimeters. The outer diameter of the bushing should be slightly smaller than the diameter of the center element (59).

[0357] The ends of the bushing are chamfered at 1 x45°.

[0358] On the side surface, there is a button (68), which can be made from brass, aluminum, bronze, or plexiglass. This button is capable of resisting the pressure exerted by the shutter leg (62) and is connected to an electrical wire (69).

[0359] When pressure is applied to the side wall of the bushing by the shutter leg, the button is pressed into the housing of the bushing (52), closing the electrical contact (69). Once the pressure is released, the button automatically returns to its original position, opening the contact again. The button is spring-loaded for this purpose.

[0360] In a preferred implementation, the button (68.1) in FIG. (16a) has a rounded top that smoothly transitions from the side of the button to the upper plane.

[0361] Detailed design of the button (68)

[0362] The button is a rectangular pusher with critically important geometric parameters (Fig. 16a):

[0363] - The width (W) exactly matches the gap between the bolt legs (62), ensuring their simultaneous stop without skewing.

[0364] - The height of the working area (H = 8-20 mm) guarantees stable contact at the maximum angle of the bolt deflection.

[0365] - Ergonomic profile:

[0366] - The upper edge has a rounded shape, repeating the outer diameter of the sleeve (52) with a gap of 0.3-0.5 mm.

[0367] - Rounded edges (R = 1-3 mm) eliminates scoring when the legs (62) slide.

[0368] - Trigger mechanism:

[0369] - Recessing stroke 1-5 mm with a linear force of 0.2-0.8 N. - Return spring made of stainless steel 12X18N10T provides a service life of 5000+ cycles.

[0370] - Electrical parameters:

[0371] - Silver contacts switch low-current circuits (12 V, 0.1 A).

[0372] - Trigger force: 0.5 kgf (circuit activation threshold).

[0373] - Protection:

[0374] - Polycarbonate housing (UL94 V-0) (aluminum, brass, polymer) with an EPDM sealing ring.

[0375] - IP54 protection rating (dust and moisture protection).

[0376] Functional interaction

[0377] When the shutter (39) is cocked, its legs (62) press on the button (68), recessing it by 2-3 mm. This closes the contacts, activating the monitoring system. When the solenoid (25) is triggered, the legs (62) move, sliding along the side surface of the button, the button returns to its original position with a spring, breaking the power circuit.

[0378] 3. Justification of key parameters

[0379] Parameter Value | Technical justification |

[0380] Button width = gap (62), Prevents shutter skew under load

[0381] Radius of curvature: 1-3 mm, Prevents stress concentration

[0382] Sinking stroke: 1-5 mm, Guarantees contact closure with partial wear Resource: £5000 cycles, Corresponds to 2 seasons of intensive use Switching current: 0.1 A @ 12V, Minimizes sparking in low-current circuit Sealing: IP54, Moisture protection for outdoor use

[0383] Solenoid (25)

[0384] The solenoid is connected to the bushing (52) by means of an adhesive, threaded or friction connection. It is designed to move within the axial channel of the middle element (59) under the pressure of the shutter leg (62) on the button (68). The solenoid (25) has a diameter 1-3 mm smaller than the internal diameter of the pole (1) and is designed to move along the shelf-rack (45). The length, thickness and power of the solenoid coil are designed to create a magnetic field with a force that ensures the movement of the solenoid (25) during normal operation of the device, preferably a force of 25 kg. The preferred length is 20-70 mm.

[0385] "CARBON CABLE FASTENING UNIT", Fig. 21 includes carbon cable (7) includes parallel carbon strands (roving) with a diameter of 5-7 mm, a length of 5 m (a cable within the length of a pole), with an elongation before failure of < 1%.

[0386] Structure: The threads in the bundle are not "braided" (like a rope), but lie parallel (like spaghetti in a pack).

[0387] Because of this, they:

[0388] * Easily stretch (elongation < 1%),

[0389] * Do not "interfere" with each other,

[0390] * Work on breaking with the entire cross-section at once.

[0391] The key difference from braided cables is the parallel laying of the threads, providing a minimum modulus of elasticity (230-290 GPa) and uniform distribution of deformation.

[0392] "Continuous carbon fiber roving (e.g. Toray T700S) with a diameter of 5-7 mm, a length of 5 m, with an elongation at break of < 1%, can withstand a load of 10-27 tons.

[0393] Unlike braided ropes, where twisting of threads increases the tensile modulus, unstructured strands provide minimal resistance to deformation due to the absence of mutual friction of fibers.

[0394] Fiber grades (recommended for such properties): Toray T700S (Japan) is the most popular,

[0395] Tenax IMS60 (Germany) - for maximum strength.

[0396] The absence of braiding eliminates energy dissipation during stretching, fixing the deformation strictly within the properties of the fiber material (and not the structure).

[0397] Load-bearing capacity:

[0398] - 0 5 mm: 10-14 tons

[0399] - 0 7 mm: 19-27 tons (using Toray T700S, Tenax IMS60 fibers)

[0400] The declared load of the "cable tension spring" (5) is up to 2000 kg,

[0401] The declared carbon cable 0 5 mm: with a load-bearing capacity of 10-14 tons, covers the maximum load five times and ensures minimal stretching and the maximum possible transfer of the compressive impulse "cable tension spring" (5)

[0402] TECHNICAL EFFECT

[0403] Providing predictable minimal elongation (< 1%) at a breaking load due to the use of continuous parallel carbon strands (roving), eliminating energy losses due to friction between interwoven threads.

[0404] This allows the tension force to be transmitted without being absorbed by the elastic deformation of the structure, typical of braided cables.

[0405] The combination of high tensile strength (10-27 tons for 0 5-7 mm) with controlled deformation increases the efficiency of force transmission systems.

[0406] - a carbon cable eye (24);

[0407] - the lower end of the rod (22.1) Fig. 7(C) with a threaded part for interaction with

[0408] - "a nut with an end frame" (80) Fig. 21, and an opening (79) for an electric wire; - a carbon cable eye (24) for interaction with the end projection of the frame (80) and the carbon cable ohm (7);

[0409] - a nut with an eye (71) for interaction with the lower end of the rod (22.1) or the stud (76) Fig. 23 and the carbon cable (7), wherein the stud (76) passes through the end washer (48) which rests against the lower end of the pole (1), and the stud (76) is locked with a nut (77), wherein the stud has a vertical slot (82) on the end allowing it to be held during rotation of the nut (77).

[0410] Moreover, the tip of the pole (9) contains cavities for placing a wi-fi relay (26), a sensor (28), a battery (27), the location of which can change while maintaining the interconnections, for example, a wi-fi relay (26) can be located in the body of the pole (1) Fig. 23 (B).

[0411] "The nut with the end frame" (80) Fig. 21 is connected to the lower end of the rod (22.1) by means of a threaded connection in the center of the circle, wherein the eye of the carbon cable a (24) is mounted on the end frame of the nut (80). In this case, the carbon cable (7) connected to the eye of the carbon cable (24) passes through the hole for the carbon cable (12) located on the peripheral edge of the plug (41) Fig. 7(C), 20 (B) and penetrates into the hole (12) located on the end face of the bushing (6) Fig. 8.

[0412] The carbon cable (7) passes through all the bushings (6) to the damper rod with the eye (47) Fig. 19 (B) which is spring-loaded by the damper spring (46) and is located in the casing (49) which is secured to the end of the damper rod in the form of a damper tip (50) secured with a nut (51) Fig. 7 (E) through a threaded connection at the end (47.1) of the damper rod.

[0413] The casing body (49) repeats the contour of the inner walls of the damper body (8) and moves coaxially along them, guiding the damper rod and the damper spring (46) along the axial channel of the damper (8) Fig. 19 (A).

[0414] Operation of the "carbon cable tension spring locking mechanism"

[0415] In Fig. 17, four successive states of the mechanism are shown in axial section: At stage (A) "cable tension spring" (5)

[0416] - is in a compressed state, before making a jump, and is clamped between the piston (23) and the protrusion (82).

[0417] And is locked by the shutter (39), which, with a protrusion in the form of a shutter frame (61), is hooked on the rod shelf (63) located on the rod (22).

[0418] At the same time, the head of the shutter (64) rests into the shutter washer (44), which rests on the end of the protrusion (82), the shutter leg (62) is in an upright position and it is blocked by the shutter sleeve (52).

[0419] In this case, the rod (22) is under stress, which is created by the elastic deformation of the metal of the compressed "cable tension spring" (5), which presses on the piston (23), while resting on the protrusion (82)

[0420] In this case, the piston (23) is in turn connected to the rod (22) and therefore the rod tends to rise in the vertical direction, but it is held by the shutter (39), which is also under stress from the force coming from the rod (22), namely from its shelf rod (63), which presses from the bottom it is placed on the shutter frame (61) and tries to turn it around, and this rotary movement is blocked by the shutter sleeve (52);

[0421] Stage (B) shows the moment of shutter release (39).

[0422] At a certain moment of bending of the pole, current begins to flow through the electric wire (10) into the solenoid (25), which as a result of this shifts downwards (this movement is reflected by the dotted arrow downwards) and lowers the "trigger sleeve" (52) connected to itself and at the same time compresses the solenoid spring (42).

[0423] As a result, the bolt leg (62) is released, which is able to turn (this movement is shown by the dotted arrow), since the projection of the bolt frame (61) is under the pressure of the rod shelf (63), which is directed upwards, then the "bolt head" (64) begins to turn, while the "bolt leg" (62) also turns and compresses the "bolt spring" (43).

[0424] At stage (B) at the moment of rotation of the shutter head (36)

[0425] - comparable to the angle of 45-70 degrees, the shelf of the rod (63) is released from the grip of the shutter frame (61) and the rod (22) under the straightening action of the "cable tension spring" (5) rushes upwards while pulling the carbon cable (7).

[0426] At the same time, the "cable tension spring" (5) presses and pushes the piston (23) which moves towards the cover (18) and as a result the piston (23) hits and rests against the shock absorber (40) made of elastic material (polyurethane, rubber) in the form of a round cylinder with an axial channel with a diameter with the possibility of passing the pusher (19). The shock absorber (40) dampens and softens the impact load transmitted by the piston (23).

[0427] MECHANISM FOR REMOVING THE BEND OF THE POLE

[0428] One of the key elements of the mechanism is the bushing (6)

[0429] The bushing (6) is made of polyethylene terephthalate, polycarbonate with a compressive strength of 13 kg per 1 square millimeter.

[0430] In the preferred embodiment, the bushing (6) has a hole (12) located at the peripheral edge of Fig. 8, then the carbon cable (7) will run closer to the outer side of the bend Fig. 11 (B), 12 and is located at a distance of 25-30 mm from the inner wall of the pole bend. The hole (12) and the corresponding axial channel of the bushing (6) are designed to allow the passage of the carbon cable (7) and ensure the normal operation of the carbon cable (7).

[0431] In this case, the end ends of the sleeve (6) are made in the form of a trapezoidal stop Fig. 25, containing: - a peripheral axial channel (12) for passing an elastic element - carbon cable (7), shifted to the outer side of the pole bend,

[0432] - a wide base, and saddles (11) in contact with the inner wall of the pole from the side of the concave bend,

[0433] - end hinge elements - saddles (11) Fig. 8: a convex cylindrical surface on one end and a cylindrical recess on the opposite end;

[0434] - the depth of the cylindrical recess is 40-90% of the diameter of the cylindrical convexity, ensuring freedom of angular deviation of ±5°-10° before the formation of a gap. - the bushing (6) segment is made by injection molding from thermophthalate or polycarbonate with a compressive strength of £ 120 MPa (or > 12 kgf / mm2).

[0435] - the hinge joint - saddle (11) Fig. 8 has an area of 180 square millimeters, which provides the bushings (6) with a safety margin of up to 2340 kg at the joints during deviations.

[0436] - the diameter of the bushing (6) is 1-2 mm less than the diameter of the pole, the length of the cylindrical part can be equal to the diameter, for example, 40 * 40 mm, in the preferred embodiment, the length is 50 mm.

[0437] In order to manufacture the bushing (6) from the required material during injection molding, it is necessary to maintain a uniform thickness of all walls of the product in order to avoid uneven shrinkage, for this

[0438] - the bushing (6) consists of two coaxial inserts Fig. 25, mating along the plane of symmetry, and the mating zone contains interlocking transverse ribs that form a reinforced wall in the area of the hinge elements - saddles (11), and:

[0439] - the inserts contain interlocking transverse ribs in the joint area that form a reinforced wall 5-10 mm thick;

[0440] - the ribs are made rectangular in profile with a height equal to the height of the bushing (40-60 mm) and a thickness of 1.5-2 mm with a mating pitch of 1.5-2 mm;

[0441] - the area of the hinge elements - saddles (11) is cast as a single unit with the inserts without casting seams.

[0442] - transverse ribs (11.1) Fig. 25 extend along the entire height of the liners and have a rectangular profile with the following parameters:

[0443] - depth 5-10 mm, - width 1.5 - 2 mm,

[0444] - length (corresponding to the bushing height): 40-60 mm;

[0445] - during assembly, the projections of one bushing enter the grooves of the other, forming a monolithic wall with a total thickness of 5-10 mm;

[0446] In an alternative implementation, an "aluminum bushing" (83) is installed in the saddle

[0447] OPERATION OF THE MECHANISM

[0448] The bushings (6) are pulled together by a Carbon cable (7) which is kinematically connected to the rod (22) at one end and is connected to the damper rod (47) at the other end. For this, the Carbon cable (7) was pulled toward the "compression modulus" (4) during the dynamic movement of the rod (22) toward the cover (18).

[0449] In this case, the shortening length of the carbon cable (7) pulled the damper body (8), which rested against the end of the adapter sleeve (55) Fig. 19(A) which in turn rests with its mating end part against the end part in the area of the saddle (11) in a series of bushings (6), which in turn in the area of the saddle (11) rest with their ends opposite each other in an arc and run in the axial channel of the pole for a length of at least half the length of the pole (1) and rest against the plug (41) Fig. 7(C), 12, wherein the saddles (11) of the bushing (6) run on the inner side of the bend of the pole (1), and the axial channel of the opening (12) of the bushing (6) runs along the wall along the outer side of the bend of the pole Fig. 12, ensuring that the carbon cable (7) runs along the wall located along the outer side of the bend of the pole (1).

[0450] And thus, a series of bushings (6) were clamped between the damper body (8) and the "compression modulus" body (4), where the closed end faces of the bushing (6) in the area of the saddle (11) Fig. 12 are pulled together by the carbon cable (7).

[0451] In this case, the ends of the bushing (6) receive a compression pressure comparable to 200 kg and higher. The calculated peak compression ranges from 200 kg to 2000 kg, while the width of the gap (21) between the end faces of the bushing (6) is usually 0.6-0.8 mm. In this case, the compressive force of pressure arising on the end faces of the bushing (6) forces the gap locations (21) to close, and the "column" of the bushing series (6) begins to straighten vertically with a force comparable to 1 to 20 kg. The specific value of the force depends on the compression force of the bushings (6), the "cable tension spring" (5), the height of the pole (1), and the tensile modulus of the carbon cable (7).

[0452] In this case, at stage (B), the shutter leg (62) stopped pressing the button (68) Fig. 16, which as a result opened the contact and the current stopped flowing into the solenoid (25).

[0453] And at the same time, the solenoid spring (42) began to expand and lifted the solenoid (25) and the shutter bushing (52), which rested against the inclined shutter leg (62).

[0454] In this case, the shutter leg 62 is under the tension of the shutter spring (43), but cannot turn and take a vertical position since the shutter frame (61) rests against the body of the rod (22), and the back of the shutter (65), Fig. 17 (C), rests against the wall of the middle element (59).

[0455] And in such a state (B) is the "compression modulus" (4) after completing the standard work.

[0456] At stage (G) the compression moment of the "cable tension spring" (5) is shown, - before the jump, the dotted arrow shows the direction of the jack pressure.

[0457] In this case, the rod (22) goes down and as a result, the rod shelf (63) is slightly lower than the shutter frame (61), opening a free space in front of it, which is located above the rod shelf (63) and the shutter head (64) begins to crawl onto the rod shelf (63).

[0458] And since the shutter spring (43) presses on the shutter leg (62), it begins to turn towards the vertical position, while the shutter leg (62) begins to press on the trigger sleeve (52) and the solenoid (25) and they go down, while the shutter spring (43) is made more powerful, so much so that it is capable of pressing through the solenoid spring (42).

[0459] And at the moment when the shutter leg (62) reaches the vertical position, it stops pressing on the trigger sleeve (52) from above and ends up above the “trigger sleeve shelf (pocket)” (66) and at this moment the solenoid spring (42) straightens out and lifts the solenoid (25) and the trigger sleeve (52) to the position as in Fig. 17(A).

[0460] In this case, the “button” (68) is under the pressure of the “shutter leg” (62) and closes the electric cable and a low-current current begins to flow through it, which is not enough to move the solenoid (25), but enough to power the electric cable, sensor (28) and wi-fi relay (26), which informs the application on the vaulter smartphone that the “cable tension spring” (5) is in a compressed and fixed position.

[0461] Thus, the trigger sleeve (52) locks the shutter leg (62), and the shutter frame (61), hooked onto the "rod shelf' (63), holds the shock (22), which is under the pressure of the compressed "cable tension spring" (5).

[0462] And at the moment when a current sufficient to shift the solenoid (25) is supplied, the "cable tension spring" (5) will be released, repeating stages (A, B, C, D).

[0463] DAMPER MECHANISM

[0464] - consists of a housing which is made of polyethylene terephthalate, polycarbonate or aluminum and repeats the shape of the "bushing" (6) Fig.19, as if these were two bushings connected to each other at the end part and at the place of their connection there is a transverse jumper (57), which has an opening for the passage of the "damper rod with an eye" (47), and there is also an "opening" (79) for the passage of an electric wire (10).

[0465] The damper body (8) essentially consists of the components of the bushing (6) and repeats their geometry. The "damper rod with eye" (47) is connected to the carbon cable (7) and the damper spring (46), which exerts constant pressure on the ends of all the involved bushings (6) with a force sufficient to hold the ends of the bushings (6) end-to-end in a straight or bent position along the saddle (11) during the bending of the pole (1).

[0466] The damper spring is protected by a casing (49). The "damper rod with eye" (47) has a damper tip (50) that repeats the end profile of the bushing (6) and is held by a nut (51) that connects the damper tip (50) to the "damper rod with eye" (47).

[0467] Damper (8)

[0468] - works as follows: when the pole is in a straight position, and the "cable tension spring" (5) is in the position of Fig. 17 (C), i.e. the spring is not compressed, then the "damper rod with eye" (47) is pressed into the damper body (46) Fig. 19 (A) due to the "cable tension spring" (5).

[0469] In this case, the "cable tension spring" (5) with a residual minimum force draws in and spring-loads the damper rod (47), and this is sufficient to create tension on the end faces of the bushings (6) for self-centering and maintaining a straight position relative to the carbon cable (7), ensuring the possibility of their sequential placement in the axial channel of the pole (1) during the initial installation of the booster (2) in the pole (1).

[0470] In this case, the damper spring (46) is in the compressed position, i.e. the residual pressure of the "cable tension spring" (5) presses it with a force sufficient for the standard installation of the booster in the pole, and for maintaining the series of bushings (6) in a straight position. Preferably, this pressure is in the range of 3-10 kg.

[0471] When the "cable tension spring" (5) Fig. 17(A) is compressed, the rod (22) and the carbon cable (7) connected to it are released towards the damper (8) by the amount of compression of the said spring, usually in the range of 2 cm - 5 cm.

[0472] The specific value depends on the length of the spring, for example, the "cable tension spring" (5) 15 cm long will be compressed by only 2 cm, and the said spring with a length of 30 cm will be compressed by 4 cm, and will have a greater value of the working stroke, which is preferable. In this case, the damper spring (47) will come out of the damper body Fig. 19(B) by the amount of the released carbon cable (7), this is approximately by the length (4-5 cm) and will select a part of the released carbon cable (7) and will continue to support it in a taut state, ensuring that the pressure on the ends of the bushings

[0473] (6) is maintained and that they are self-centered.

[0474] At the moment of bending of the pole, the end faces of the bushing (6) are deflected along the outer side of the bend and form gaps (21), in which a radial increase in the length between the bushings occurs, and this increase is by a total amount of approximately 4-5 cm, and this value is comparable to the released section of the carbon cable (7) that occurred during compression of the "cable tension spring" (5). And at the moment of bending of the pole (1) the spring of the damper (46) is compressed again Fig. 19(A) and gives 4-5 cm to the carbon cable

[0475] (7) and allows the end faces of the bushing (6) to move apart and form a gap (21) Fig. 12, while following the carbon cable (7) the damper rod with the eye (47) Fig. 19(A) connected to it moves and its damper tip (50) approaches the damper body

[0476] (8) and begins to rest against the damper body (8) Fig. 19(A) and stop the "free" advancement of the carbon cable (7).

[0477] And this coincides with the moment when the "compression modulus" (4) is triggered and tightens the carbon cable (7). As a result, a powerful compression of the ends of the faces of the bushings (6) occurs, which begins to lead them to self-centering and vertical alignment.

[0478] In this case, between the bushing (6) and the damper (8), there is an adapter bushing (55) Fig. 19 (B) in which the "channel for carbon cable" (70) is located diagonally and helps the carbon cable, secured to the "eye of the damper rod" (47), to rise along the shallow channel, and at the exit from the hole to be at the same level with the hole for carbon cable (12) located on the peripheral top of the end of the bushing (6).

[0479] The adapter bushing (55) can be made of polycarbonate, polyethylene terephthalate or aluminum and has a "channel" (56) for the electric wire.

[0480] CARBON CABLE FASTENING UNIT - allows to fix the carbon cable (7) both in the center of the pole (1) (A) and along the wall of the pole (B) Fig. 20, and in this case a "nut with an end frame" (80) Fig. 21 is used, which on the opposite side from the frame has a hole (81) for the electric wire and an "eye for the carbon cable" (24).

[0481] And in the case of the central placement of the carbon cable, a "nut with an eye" (71) is used.

[0482] Fig. 7 shows an embodiment of the fastening unit.

[0483] Fig. 22 shows an alternative embodiment, where the possibility of fixing the carbon cable to the "end of the pole" (72) Fig. 22 (A) is realized. In this case, the carbon cable (7) runs along the entire length of the pole and is fixed to the end washer (48) Fig. 22 (B).

[0484] Fastening to the end of the pole (72) makes sense when the pole is 5 meters or more long and this fastening is more complicated for the vaulter, but in technical terms, for example, in the case of fastening the carbon cable to the damper (8), the vaulter does not need to perform complex installation work on the end of the pole.

[0485] For example, the device with the damper (8) is enough to simply push into the pole, meet the electric wire from the lower support hole of the pole (1), insert the electric wire with a quick-release connection into the tip of the pole (9) with the sensor (28) and put it on the end support end of the pole and that's it, you can use the device.

[0486] But the device with a damper (8) has limitations, since its bushings (6) withstand pressure up to 2 tons and they are relatively heavy and the longer the pole, the longer the row of bushings and at the same time the adapter bushing (55) and damper (8) add weight and therefore it is not advisable to move them far to the support end of the pole, because even the slightest change in weight at the end of the pole creates a problem for the vaulter during the run-up.

[0487] And since the most experienced vaulters jump on long poles of about 5 meters or more, who are looking for ways to reduce the weight of the pole, then the option with a carbon cable mount on the support end of the pole is suitable for them, although this is associated with some complex installation manipulations.

[0488] Thus, when fastening the carbon cable to the lower support end of the pole (72) Fig. 22 (A), two fastening options are used, in the center of the pole (B) and along the outer wall of the pole to the bend (B), while the lower element (60.1) is removed from the "compression modulus" body (4), since there is no longer any need for the bushings (6) to rest against each other and against the "tension module" body (4).

[0489] The carbon cable pressure now goes to the end washer (48), and the cylindrical bushings (74) Fig. 24 experience pressure on their walls from the carbon cable tension, and at the moment of bending the pole, which is applied evenly to all bushings at once and the load is distributed evenly.

[0490] Thus, with a carbon cable pressure of 1500 kg, and a pole length of 5 meters, the pressure on the "cylindrical bushing" (74) Fig. 23, 24 with a length of 5 cm, in total 15 kg, therefore it is made of foam plastic and serves as a support for the "washer-sleeve" (75), which is made of polyethylene terephthalate or polycarbonate, it is light and thin and at the same time withstands pressure up to 100 kg, and takes on the load of the carbon cable.

[0491] If the carbon cable is located along the wall of the pole, then the "washer-sleeve" (75) and the "cylindrical sleeve (74) Fig. 24 (A) have an axial "hole for carbon cable" (12) located near the peripheral end edge, and if the carbon cable passes through the center, then the axial "hole for carbon cable" (12) will pass through the axis of the cylindrical sleeve (75) and in the center of the circle of the washersleeve (75) Fig. 24 (B).

[0492] In this case, the washers of the sleeve (A) and (B) have stiffening ribs (84) of which there can be at least four and more from each flat side of the bushingwasher.

[0493] The same applies to the "end washer" (48), it has a hole in the center of the circle with a thread Fig. 23 (A) for interaction with the stud (76), Fig. 23 (A) which is screwed from below with a "stud nut" (77). But if the carbon cable passes along the wall of the pole Fig. 23 (B), then the stud (76) enters the "hole (73) located from the peripheral edge of the end washer" Fig. 23 B.

[0494] In this case, the stud (76) has a "cutout" (81) in the lower part of at least 5 mm, which allows fixing its rotation, which facilitates the work when installing the "carbon cable fastening unit" in the end of the pole.

[0495] ALTERNATIVE FASTENING UNIT

[0496] Fastening unit with anti-angle kinematic connection with passive radial stabilization.

[0497] Self-centering traction unit with lateral load compensation for a linearly moving rod of the tension module Fig. (21a), comprising a carriage (118), roller supports (119), a carbon cable eye (24), a hinged axial unit for fastening the carbon cable to the carriage (24.1), a carbon cable eye (24), a hinged connection with a transverse locking pin (120), a nut with an eye (71) connected to the rod via a threaded connection, a wall of the cylinder of the lower part (60). Moreover, the hinged connection with the transverse locking pin (120.1) is located in the geometric center of the carriage (118).

[0498] The size of the carriage (118) and the material of its elements are selected to ensure the normal operation of the device (steel, aluminum), ball bearings 06-8 mm (for example, SKF W624-2RS1), radial load up to 50 kg. The size and materials are given as an example and not for limitation, and can change while maintaining the relationship. The distance between the wheels (119) preferably corresponds to the internal diameter of the lower element (60.1) and is in the range of 10-35 mm, the length of the carriage (118) exceeds the internal diameter of the lower element (60.1) by a value sufficient for the normal operation of the declared system, in the preferred embodiment 100 mm.

[0499] Operating principle

[0500] 1. Axial force (operating state): - Rod (22) pulls carriage (118) — ► carbon cable (7) is stretched along carbon cable tension axis (7.1), which passes along the inner wall of pole (1).

[0501] 2. Lateral load compensation:

[0502] - When attempting to shift carbon cable (7) to the center of axial channel of pole (1), pressure force is generated on — > rollers (119) and they are pressed against the walls of cylinder of lower element (60.1), creating reaction of symmetrical minimal rotation of carriage (118) along axis of pin (120.1) transferring load to side walls of cylinder of lower element (60.1), while axis of pin (120.1) remains as before in the center of axis of cylinder of lower element (60.1), therefore rod (22) moves under load without deviations from axis of cylinder of lower element (60.1).

[0503] Result: Resultant force along the rod (22)

[0504] Centering: Rollers (119) automatically align the carriage (118) along the central axis of the cylinder of the lower element (60.1) due to the symmetrical arrangement.

[0505] The declared preferred fastening unit Fig. 21a allows to eliminate the axial radial deviation of the rod (22) during the traction movement of the carbon cable (7) under load, provided that the carbon cable (7) is engaged in a place parallel to the axis of the rod (22), which ensures zero backlash: roller supports eliminate radial runout, self-compensation: the system autonomously neutralizes lateral loads without additional stabilizers.

[0506] Formation of the carbon cable (7) and its fastening loops:

[0507] The carbon cable (7) is a single closed structure formed by parallel winding of continuous carbon threads (roving) around two support pins spaced apart by the required cable length (e.g. 3.5 m). In this case:

[0508] - The threads are wound in parallel without interlacing around both pins, forming two natural, non-detachable end loops at the ends of the future cable.

[0509] - After winding and fixing with a binder (e.g. epoxy resin), the pins are removed, leaving loops.

[0510] - The resulting cable (7) has a solid body of length L and two integrated loops at the ends, the thickness of the cable in the body area is 5-7 mm. Fastening to the carriage (118):

[0511] - The loop at one end of the cable (7) is directly placed on the transverse locking pin (120) of the carriage (118), forming a hinged joint.

[0512] Fastening to the damper (47):

[0513] - The loop at the opposite end of the cable (7) is passed through the hole in the eye (47.2) of the damper rod (47). After passing, the loop is placed on the body of the damper rod (47) itself in the area below the eye and tightened, tightly gripping the rod (47) and fixing it due to friction and geometry.

[0514] Technical effect:

[0515] This fastening method:

[0516] - Provides an absolutely permanent connection of the cable (7) with the carriage (118) and the damper rod (47) without additional clamps, knots, end holders or threaded elements.

[0517] - Eliminates stress concentrators at the attachment point, typical of clamping devices.

[0518] - Ensures that the tensile force is transmitted directly through the cable loop to the pin (120) of the carriage and the body of the rod (47) of the damper.

[0519] - Allows adjustment of the tension of the cable (7) during the installation phase by selecting the tightening point of the loop on the rod (47).

[0520] Preferred embodiment of the fastening unit

[0521] Carriage (118) of a linear drive with an antifriction bushing - fluoroplastic (122) for operation in tubular guides Fig. 21b. The device relates to linear movement units operating under conditions of high axial and radial loads in a tubular guide.

[0522] Linear movement carriages Fig. (21a) are known, containing a housing with support rollers or wheels mounted on it, moving along the inner surface of a tubular guide.

[0523] The disadvantages of the known solution are: high contact stresses at the roller contact points (up to 2.5 MPa); complexity of the design, requiring precision assembly; need for periodic maintenance of bearing units; complexity of maintenance; increased noise level during movement.

[0524] DISCLOSURE OF INVENTION

[0525] Technical task:

[0526] Reduction of contact stresses, simplification of the design and increase in the durability of the linear drive carriage (118).

[0527] Technical result:

[0528] Uniform distribution of the axial load on the rod (22) and along the sliding surface of the lower part (60) is achieved with a 25-fold reduction in specific pressure (from 2.5 to 0.1 MPa), simplification of the design and an increase in the service life.

[0529] In this case, the guide tube - the lower element (60.1) is preferably made of an aluminum alloy with an anodic oxide coating 15-25 pm thick. The anodic oxide coating increases the wear resistance of the working surface by 10-20 times while maintaining the strength characteristics of the base material.

[0530] The essence of the invention:

[0531] The linear drive carriage contains a metal housing (118) of cylindrical shape with a central hole for accommodating the drive pin (120.1). The housing is placed inside the bushing (122) made of an antifriction polymer material - polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE, fluoroplast-4). The outer surface of the bushing is made cylindrical with a diameter that provides a gap of 0.1 -0.2 mm relative to the inner surface of the tubular guide. Fig. 21b shows a longitudinal section of the carriage assembly; a cross section;

[0535] - an antifriction sleeve (122) made of F-4 fluoroplastic with a wall thickness of 3-20 mm;

[0536] - a central axial channel providing for the passage of the rod (22) and its fastening with the carriage (118) by means of a pin (120.1), an opening with a diameter providing for the installation of a drive pin (120.1) and a carbon cable drive pin a (120);

[0537] - spiral grooves (122.1) with a depth of 0.5-1.0 mm for removing wear products.

[0538] - implementation option: sectional bushing (122), consists of 3-5 rings of 15 - 30 mm, gaps between rings of 2-3 mm. The bushing is made of separate rings, which ensures independent self-installation of each element and eliminates the need for preliminary running-in. The operating characteristics are achieved from the first loading cycle.

[0539] - through all the specified fluoroplastic bushings near the peripheral edge there passes an axial channel for an electric wire with a diameter sufficient for the normal operation of the device.

[0540] ADVANTAGES:

[0569] Load calculation:

[0570] With an axial load F = 10 kN (1000 kgf) and an eccentricity of force application e = 10 mm, an overturning moment occurs:

[0571] M = F xe= 10000 N x 0.01 m = 100 N«m

[0572] Radial load on supporting surfaces:

[0573] F_r = M / L_k where L_k is the length of the carriage.

[0574] With L_k = 100 mm:

[0575] F_r = 100 / 0.1 = 1000 N (100 kgf) Contact stresses:

[0576] Contact surface area:

[0577] S = L_k x b where b is the width of the contact zone (10 mm is assumed).

[0578] At L_k = 100 mm:

[0579] S = 100 x 10 = 1000 mm2

[0580] Specific pressure: p = F_r / S = 1000 / 1000 = 1 N / mm2= 0.1 MPa

[0581] Safety factor relative to the compressive strength of fluoroplastic (12 MPa): n = 12 / 0.1 = 120

[0582] Advantages:

[0583] Distributed load provides a specific pressure of 0.1 MPa versus 2.5 MPa for roller systems;

[0584] Friction coefficient of fluoroplastic on aluminum is 0.05-0.06;

[0585] Self-lubricating properties of the material;

[0586] CARBON CABLE TENSION SPRING COLLAR MECHANISM

[0587] It consists of a support (13), a guide bushing (20), a "pusher" (19), preferably a worm jack (15), a jack handle (16), a V-shaped limiter (53), a V-shaped "support frame" (54) Fig. 6, 7.

[0588] Support (13)

[0589] - cut according to a template from a sheet of metal 3-5 mm thick. Then the necessary elements are bent and thus, the support has four horizontal "supports of the support" at the corners and eight vertical supports, four of which have a V- shaped slope, two vertical supports for the guide bushing (20) and two vertical supports for the base of the jack. The supports of the support can be changed in appearance while maintaining the interconnections to ensure the normal operation of the device. Pusher (19) the pusher (19) is covered with a transparent casing (89) made of organic glass, this prevents foreign objects from getting between the guide sleeve (20) and the pusher (19) at the moment of compression Fig. 27. The tip of the pusher (19.1) (Fig. 10a) has a spherical shape, which is a mating part for the recess (19.2) located in the center of the circumference of the end face of the piston (23), when the spherical surface of the pusher tip (19.1) and the recess (19.2) interact and contact, the pusher rod (19) is self-centered. The pusher rod (19) is designed with the possibility of passing into the opening of the cover (17) to ensure the normal operation of the device.

[0590] Jack (15)

[0591] - worm type, designed with the possibility of mechanization.

[0592] A device for mechanization of the worm jack (15) Fig. 27, including:

[0593] Flexible mechanical transmission (86), including

[0594] - means for removable connection of the first end of the flexible transmission with the drive spindle of the screwdriver;

[0595] - means for removable connection of the second end of the flexible transmission with the shaft (16.1) of the manual drive of the worm mechanism of the jack;

[0596] Screwdriver (85)

[0597] - ensures rotation of the input shaft (16.1) of the jack, replacing manual effort;

[0598] This allows for the mechanization of the compression of the "cable tension spring" (5) using a standard worm jack (15), in which a removable screwdriver (impact wrench) is used to rotate its input shaft (16.1), kinematically connected to the said shaft via a flexible mechanical transmission, which eliminates the need for manual rotation of the standard jack handle (16). Moreover, the screwdriver allows changing the direction of rotation and thus controlling the direction of movement of the pusher (19). LINEAR ACTUATOR WITH CONTROL SYSTEM

[0599] Allows control of the pressure force transmitted to the "tension module spring" (5). Has a force sensor.

[0600] The device includes a force (load) sensor, functionally installed to measure the force applied by the actuator rod (15.1) to the pusher (19) (Fig. 10a).

[0601] Sensor type: Preferably, a strain gauge force sensor is used, converting mechanical deformation into an electrical signal proportional to the applied load. Alternatively, piezoelectric force sensors, magnetoelastic effect sensors or other transducers can be used, ensuring measurement of static and / or dynamic force with the required accuracy.

[0602] Sensor characteristics:

[0603] Measuring range: Should cover the expected operating forces (e.g. 0 ... 2000 kgf or 0 ... 20 kN) with a reserve above the required maximum process force (e.g. > 800 kgf).

[0604] Accuracy: Sufficient to reliably determine whether the specified setpoint has been reached (e.g. accuracy class 0.5% or 1% of full scale).

[0605] Output signal: Analogue (e.g. 0-10 V, ±10 V, 4-20 mA) or digital (e.g. RS485, CANopen interfaces), compatible with the input interfaces of the control unit (3).

[0606] Installation location:

[0607] The force sensor (19.3) is installed in series in the power circuit between the actuator rod end and the pusher rod (19) or directly to the force application object (e.g. via adapters, adapter plate).

[0608] Means of monitoring the position of the rod (to determine the initial position): To determine whether the actuator rod has reached the initial position (the "Home" position) after the return stroke, the device contains position feedback means.

[0609] Type of sensors / switches:

[0610] Limit switches (limit position switches) are preferably used, mechanically triggered when the rod reaches the extreme retraction position.

[0611] Alternatively, the following can be used:

[0612] Contactless position sensors (inductive, capacitive, optical), recording the passage of the rod or an element associated with it through a certain point.

[0613] Potentiometers (rheostats), mechanically connected to the rod.

[0614] Magnetic linear encoders or incremental / absolute encoders mounted on the shaft of the actuator motor or connected to the motion conversion mechanism (screw), providing continuous or discrete measurement of the rod position.

[0615] Function: Generate a signal ("logical 0 / 1", analog level, digital value) that clearly indicates to the control unit (3) that the actuator rod is fully retracted and has reached the initial position, ready to begin a new working cycle.

[0616] Examples of implementation in the preferred embodiment, as a force sensor (19.3) in one of the working prototypes, a strain gauge HBM S9M (range 2 t, output 0-10 V) or an analogue from Tenzo was successfully used. Limit switches of the Omron Z-15G type or similar inductive sensors Sick IME were used.

[0617] BOOSTER ACTIVATION TORQUE CONTROL SYSTEM

[0618] It is an electrical network that unites several devices that work in an interconnected manner Fig. 18. It consists of an electrical wire (10), a solenoid (25), a sleeve (52), a "button" (68), a wi-fi relay (26), a battery (27), a sensor (28) Fig. 7(D) and is controlled via an application on a smartphone via a wi-fi network. When the "cable tension spring" (5) is cocked, the button (68) closes and a low- current current appears in the electrical network, which is provided by the battery (27) and which turns on the wi-fi relay (26), which begins to exchange data with the vaulter a smartphone application and reports that the carbon cable a tension spring is cocked.

[0619] Next, the vaulter sets on his smartphone how much time should pass after the sensor (28) is triggered, until the "carbon cable tension spring locking mechanism" is unlocked.

[0620] The moment of booster activation is determined exclusively by the user's delay time setting (0.1-3.0 s) via the mobile application, and:

[0621] > - With the standard setting of 1.0 s, activation occurs at a bending angle of ~120° (full deformation of the pole);

[0622] > - With a reduced setting of 0.8 s, activation occurs at an angle of ~110°, preventing excessive sagging of long poles;

[0623] > - The device does not affect the natural biomechanics of bending until the moment of activation, providing free deformation in the range of 0-110°.

[0624] Then, at the moment of the vault, the pole tip (9) hits the pole vault box (3) Fig. 1 and the sensor (28) is triggered. In the form of a sensor (28), you can use a sensor that reacts to impact, pressure, impact sound, vibration, any sensor that clearly reacts to the moment of impact and can be fed into the tip for the pole (9).

[0625] After the impact, the sensor (28) sends a signal to the wi-fi relay (26), which begins counting the time planned by the vaulter and, after the specified time has elapsed, sends a powerful current along the electric wire (10), sufficient for the solenoid (25) to move along the rod (22), towards the carbon cable attachment unit.

[0626] When the solenoid (25) descends to a depth sufficient to unlock the "shutter leg" (62), the button (68) is no longer under pressure and it opens the electrical contact and switches off the wi-fi relay. As a result, the application on the smartphone loses connection with the wi-fi relay (26) and understands that the "compression modulus" (4) has worked and turned off the power in the electrical network and informs the vaulter that the "compression modulus" is discharged.

[0627] To control the activation system in the absence of a smartphone, a system is provided:

[0628] - a desktop computer with a wi-fi modem and software associated with the application for setting the device activation time, which allows you to control the activation time setting for a group of connected "boosters" (2), - convenient for organizing work in a sports club, the setting is made personally by the trainer and can block the operation of any connected booster (2) using a software method, for example, sending a command over the wi-fi network disabling the ability to set the activation time; This is a built-in safety feature that prevents the use of the “booster” (2) in the absence of a trainer;

[0629] - an additional option, the possibility of manual adjustment, for this purpose an external time relay (84) is used, located on the outer side of the pole Fig. 26 or on the body of the pole tip (9) and the vaulter, after compressing the spring, presses the button on the body of the external time relay and sets the desired time.

[0630] Then, after the shock sensor (28) is triggered, the relay will start counting down the time and at the appointed moment will supply power to move the solenoid (25).

[0631] The external time relay is installed on the inner side of the bend of the pole, thereby protecting it from a possible impact on the edge of the pole vault box rib (3).

[0691] PROCEDURE FOR WORKING OF THE CLAIMED INVENTION Before making a jump, Vaulter places the upper end of the pole (1) in which the "compression modulus" (4) is located longitudinally on the support (13) Fig. 10 between the V-shaped self-centering limiter located on the end of the support and places the cuff (14) on top of the perpendicularly located edges of the selfcentering V-shaped frame of the support (54) Fig. 10.

[0692] This allows centering and holding the round pole (1) at the moment when, through the hole (17) in the cover (18), the pusher (19) begins to squeeze the "cable tension spring" (5). The worm jack (15) allows it to be used in a horizontal position Fig. 10 (A).

[0693] Then the vaulter rotates the jack handle (16), the pusher (19) begins to move towards the piston (32) - this movement is shown by the dotted arrow Fig. 10 (B) and at the same time moves it and it begins "cable tension spring" (5) and when the pusher with its extended base reaches the guide sleeve (20), then this coincides with the position of the "compression modulus" (4) in Fig. 17 (G) in which the rod (22) is fixed by the shutter (39) and thus the said compressed spring is fixed.

[0694] And at this moment, the button (68) Fig. 17 (A) is pressed, which closes the contacts and a low-current current flows through the electric cable, which begins to ensure the operation of the wi-fi relay and sensor.

[0695] Then the vaulter, using his smartphone and the application, establishes a connection with the wi-fi relay via wi-fi, Fig. 18, which shows the vaulter that the carbon cable tension spring is cocked.

[0696] Then the vaulter sets the time after which the solenoid (25) should be activated.

[0697] Then the vaulter prepares to make a jump and checks the soft side of the pole - which is expressed by the deflection - and the marks on the cover (18) for the match, and if they match, then everything is ready to make a vault. Then the athlete takes the pole by the upper end, which contains the "compression modulus" (4), and runs up as usual and sticks the pole (1) into the pole vault box (3) Fig. 1.

[0698] At this moment, the sensor (28), which is located in the tip of the pole (9), sends a signal to the wi-fi relay and the countdown of the time set by the vaulter begins. In this case, at the moment of the vault, the inner walls of the pole bend along the arc Fig. 11 (A) and also deflect the bushings (6) Fig. 11 (B, C) along the arc, forming gaps (21) between the ends of the bushings facing the outer side of the bend Fig. 12. In this case, on the inner side of the bend, the ends of the bushings (6) remain butt-to-butt in the area of the saddle (11). And when the programmed time has come, the wi-fi relay sends a more powerful current to the network and this is enough for the solenoid (25) to start moving and unlock the carbon cable tension spring locking mechanism, releasing the compressed "cable tension spring" (5), which begins instantaneous tension of the carbon cable (7), which begins to compress the end faces of the bushing (6), compressing them towards the "tension module" 4.

[0699] In this case, the carbon cable (7) passes through the ends of the bushings (6) and is secured to the damper (8), which rests against the extreme end of the last bushing Fig. 19 (A) in the form of an adapter bushing (55).

[0700] And as a result of the pulling movement of the carbon cable (7) directed towards the "compression modulus" (4), the direction of movement of which is shown by the dotted arrow Fig. 19 (C), the upper bushing (6) is supported in the plug (41), which is mounted on the lower element (60.1) Fig. 13 and Fig. 7 (C).

[0701] As a result, all the bushings (6) are clamped between the plug (41) and the damper (8) and their ends begin to be compressed along the carbon cable (7) and this forces the gaps (21) to close, and all the bushings (6) to align vertically, while they begin to exert a straightening effect on the bent pole until the walls of the pole are completely straightened.

[0702] This increases the lifting force of the straightening pole (1) with the vaulter hanging on it Fig. 1 by at least 0.1 - 10 kilograms or more. The declared materials and components such as "cable tension spring" (5), carbon cable (7) made of carbon threads, wi-fi relay, battery (27), solenoid (25), shock sensor (28), jack (15) are freely available.

[0703] The polyethylene terephthalate bushing is manufactured on a specially made press form and injection molding machine.

[0704] The tension module body is made of aluminum.

[0705] The shutter (39) is manufactured on a CNC machine. The rod (22) is manufactured on a lathe or other appropriate machine - all elements of the "carbon cable tension spring locking mechanism" are made of high-strength steel grades that can withstand the resulting loads.

[0706] POLE ADAPTATION OPTION

[0707] "Compression module" (4) is a complex electromechanical device with a limited ability to reduce the diameter of the housing, associated with the diameter of the spring body, its shape and bending radius. The smaller the diameter of the coils, the smaller the thickness of their cross-section profile and the less the ability to create sufficient pressure force while maintaining the length of the working stroke.

[0708] In this case, the internal diameter of the poles varies from 35 to 48 mm, and the poles have different heights.

[0709] Problem:

[0710] Limited miniaturization of the compression module (4) due to:

[0711] - Requirements for the spring force (>2000 kgf)

[0712] - Necessary working stroke (20-50 mm)

[0713] - Design limitations of the solenoid (25) and the locking mechanism

[0714] To solve this problem, the upper part, into which the "compression module" is inserted, is made cylindrical with an internal diameter corresponding to the external diameter of the "compression module" (4), preferably 45-55 cm long. This section, as a rule, does not participate in the bending of the pole (1). The bending usually occurs along the central part of the pole (1), which is located from the upper end part at a distance of usually 1.5 to 2.5 meters and depends on the total length of the pole (1).

[0715] Solution (Fig. 30):

[0716] 1. Cylindrical bowl (4.1):

[0717] - Length: 45-55 cm (zone not involved in bending)

[0718] - Inner 0: 40 mm (under the compression module body)

[0719] - Wall thickness: 15-20% greater than the main part of the pole

[0720] 2. Conical geometry of the main part:

[0721] - Inner 0 decreases from 40 mm to 34 mm

[0722] - Taper: 0.5-1 .5°

[0723] - Bending zone: 1.5-2.5 m from the upper end

[0724] Production technology:

[0725] The pole (1) is manufactured using the existing level of technology - usually this is winding layers of glass and carbon fiber on a cylindrical metal mandrel. In this case, the metal mandrel can be made with a slight taper to ensure that the post (1) breaks off after the polymer resin impregnating the material of which the pole is made has hardened.

[0726] A [Conical mandrel 91] -> B [Winding of carbon fiber impregnated with epoxy resin]

[0727] B -> C [Polymerization at 120-180°C]

[0728] C --> D [Removal of the mandrel due to taper]

[0729] Key parameters:

[0730] | Element | Parameters | Technical justification |

[0731] - Cup (4.1): 040 mm, length 45-55 cm, Ensures the fit of the module with a gap of 0.1-0.3 mm

[0732] - Taper: A0=2-6 mm over a length of 5 m, Allows the mandrel to be removed without destruction - Wall thickness: +15-20% in the bowl area, Compensates for local loads from the module

[0733] Advantages:

[0734] - Preservation of spring power at 040 mm

[0735] - Possibility of use in poles with min 034 mm

[0736] - Simplification of mandrel removal due to taper

[0737] - Reinforcement of the module mounting area without increasing the weight

[0738] Example of implementation:

[0739] For a 5.2 m long pole:

[0740] - Bowl: 040 mm x 50 mm

[0741] - Main part: 040 034 mm (taper 0.7°)

[0742] - Weight increased by only 4%

[0743] Thus, if the mandrel (91) in Fig. 30 has a slight taper, then the place of formation of the cylindrical "cup" (4.1) for holding the "compression module" (4) is located on the widest side of the conical expansion, as shown in Fig. 30. The diameter of the "cup" (4.1) is 40 mm, and the end section of the rod adjacent to it has a diameter of 38 mm, and on the opposite side of the said pole (1) the internal diameter is already 34 mm.

[0744] This allows the finished pole (1) to be separated from the mandrel (91). The separation occurs by pulling the metal mandrel (91) out of the formed "cup" (4.1), located on the pole (1).

[0745] This solution allows the body of the "compression module" (4) with an external diameter of 40 mm to be placed in a rod with an internal diameter of less than 40 mm.

[0746] ANOTHER OPTION FOR ADAPTATION OF THE POLE Problem:

[0747] Limited miniaturization of the tension module (4) due to:

[0748] - Requirements for the spring force (£2000 kgf)

[0749] - Necessary working stroke (20-50 mm)

[0750] - Design limitations of the solenoid and the locking mechanism

[0751] Solution 1 :

[0752] Cylindrical cup (Fig. 31)

[0753] "cable tension spring" (5) is shown in Fig. 31 , protruding beyond the inner diameter of the pole (1) by an amount comparable to the length of the "cable tension spring" (5), in the region of 15 cm - 20 cm.

[0754] Projecting module (Fig. 29, 31)

[0755] A [Standard pole] --> B[0 inside 34-48 mm]

[0756] B -> C [tension module (4)]

[0757] C -> D [Inside pole: mechanisms 0<3O mm]

[0758] D -> E [Protruding part: 15-20 cm, 0>4O mm]

[0759] E -> F [Streamlined cover 18]

[0760] Key features:

[0761] - Internal components diameter: ^30 mm

[0762] - Projection: 15-20 cm (40-60% of module length, 0>4O mm)

[0763] - Athlete grip zone: 10-50 cm from the end the pole

[0764] - Body material: aluminum alloy AD33T1

[0765] In this case, the "carbon cable tension spring locking mechanism" and the "carbon cable fastening unit" are located in the axial channel of the pole (1).

[0766] Such adaptation is useful if there is no possibility to remake the pole (1) or to make a special pole (1) Fig. 30 to order, then it is possible to use the existing pole, due to the adapted body of the tension module, in which the "carbon cable tension spring locking mechanism" and the "carbon cable fastening unit" can be made in a diameter comparable to 30 mm, while the aluminum body of the tension module consists of 60 percent of the length of the "carbon cable tension spring locking mechanism" and the "carbon cable fastening unit", which, being placed in the axial channel of the pole, provide sufficient stability for the booster mechanism (2) for normal operation. At the same time, the cylindrical body protruding by 15 - 20 cm with a smooth rounded cover(18) Fig. 29 does not interfere with the vault, since the vaulter has a grip point at the end of the pole located in the range from 10 cm to 50 cm.

[0767] Advantages:

[0768] - Possibility of installation in standard poles

[0769] - Ergonomic shape does not interfere with the grip

[0770] - Protection of mechanisms inside the pole

[0771] Example of implementation:

[0772] - Pole length 5.0 m (internal 038 mm)

[0773] - Module projection: 18 cm

[0774] - Internal components:

[0775] - Locking mechanism: 028 mm

[0776] - Cable attachment unit: 028 mm

[0777] - Solenoid: 025 mm

[0778] - Total module length: 40 cm (22 cm internal + 18 cm external)

[0779] Advantages:

[0780] - Possibility of installation in standard poles

[0781] - Ergonomic shape does not interfere with the grip

[0782] - Protection of mechanisms inside the pole

[0783] Example of implementation:

[0784] - Pole length 5.0 m (internal 038 mm)

[0785] - Module projection: 18 cm

[0786] - Internal components:

[0787] - Locking mechanism: 028 mm - Cable attachment unit: 028 mm

[0788] - Solenoid: 025 mm

[0789] - Total module length: 40 cm (22 cm internal + 18 cm external)

[0790] ACTIVE SAFETY SYSTEM FOR POLE VALLING WITH A BOOSTER

[0791] According to the NCAA ISS, pole vaulting is one of the top 10 injury-prone sports in track and field.

[0792] Analysis of injuries in pole vaulting shows the presence of potentially dangerous zones not covered by protective mats, where an athlete may fall, - safety corridor (93) Fig. 1.

[0793] The safety corridor (93) is a free zone of at least 1.22 m wide located between the side sections of the vault pit, extending from the front edge of the pole vault box (3) Fig. 1 to the far edge of the landing zone.

[0794] According to Penn State University (2018), there is a statistically significant risk of injury in the safety corridor area (93), which necessitates additional protection when using the claimed invention.

[0795] Thus, in order to increase the safety of vaulters who use the booster (2) to train for a record vault height, it became necessary to cover the "safety corridor" (93) with additional soft cushions that will create a soft barrier between the pole vault box (3), the safety corridor (93) and the vaulter during a higher jump with the booster (2).

[0796] SAFETY PROTECTION SYSTEM - “Smart Safety Cushion”

[0797] Alternative name:

[0798] «Pop-Up Safety Cushion», «Deployable Soft Shield».

[0799] Purpose:

[0800] Automatic deployment of protective cushions (92) Fig. 33 at the moment of vaulting Fig. 34 to prevent injuries when using the booster(2). The protective cushions (92), automatically extend from the side pads of the pole vault landing area (92.1) (Fig. 32, 33a) pole vault landing are s of the pole vault landing area that lie on top of it.

[0801] In this case, the mats of the side pads of the pole vault landing area can be uniformly raised by the thickness of the "safety cushions" (92). For example, as a rule, the side pads (92.1) Fig. 34 already have a gentle slope towards the treadmill. And it is possible to place safety cushions (92) under the section of the side pads (92.1) by extending and raising the said section by the amount of the length and thickness of the safety cushions (92) (Fig. 34a).

[0802] Safety cushions (92) are pushed into the niche (92.2) (Fig. 33a) which is made in the form of a supporting structure for the mats of the pole vault landing area (91) located on top and a niche (92.2) in which the safety cushion (92) extension mechanisms are also located.

[0803] The said supporting structure can be made of aluminum, metal or composite materials and plastic, with rounded and streamlined shapes, which are covered with soft rubber pads and soft mats, with the ability to ensure the normal operation of the side pads of the pole vault landing area in the case of safety cushions (92) pushed into the niche (92.2). a creating a protective soft barrier of "safety cushions" (92) between the "pole vault box" (3), the treadmill and the vaulter Fig. 34 using the booster (2).

[0804] Construction (Fig. 32-35):

[0805] A [Side sections 92.1] -> B [Niches 92.2]

[0806] B --> C [Cushions 92]

[0807] C --> D [Extension mechanism]

[0808] D --> E [Linear actuator 94]

[0809] E --> F [Rack 102 with spring 95]

[0810] F -> G [Latch 96]

[0811] G --> H [Solenoid 96.1]

[0812] Key components: 1. Protective cushions (92):

[0813] - Material: polyurethane foam (25-35 kg / m3)

[0814] - Cover: reinforced PVC (650-900 g / m2)

[0815] - Dimensions: 20x60xL cm (L = section length)

[0816] - Features:

[0817] - Bevels (104) for mutual overlap

[0818] - Flexible ends (3.2) to bypass the pole in the area of the pole vault box (3) Fig. 34.

[0819] - Anti-slip surface texture

[0820] 2. Extension mechanism:

[0821] - Linear drive: Hsiang Neng HN710B (300 mm stroke, 200 kgf)

[0822] - Lock: spring wedge with a service life of 10,000 cycles

[0823] - Support frame: aluminum slats (101 ,102)

[0824] - Hinge system: uniform force distribution

[0825] The training process sometimes requires disabling the safety cushions. For example, under normal training conditions, when an athlete practices a run-up or a vault technique that does not perform a full vault, then an additional safety system is not required and is not in the activated mode, but the pole vault landing area continues to operate normally.

[0826] Thus, the design of the niche (92.2) and the safety cushions (92) are made with the ability to ensure the normal operation of the pole vault landing area, with the safety cushions (92) pushed into the niche (92.2) and not activated.

[0827] The thickness of the safety cushions (92) is selected to provide shock absorption when the athlete lands, and the thickness can lie in the range of the thickness of the side sections of the jumping pit to ensure a safe landing of the athlete.

[0828] The training process sometimes requires disabling the safety cushions. For example, under normal training conditions, when an athlete practices a run-up or a vault technique that does not perform a full vault, then an additional safety system is not required and is not in the activated mode, but the pole vault landing area continues to operate normally. Thus, the design of the niche (92.2) and the safety cushions (92) are made with the ability to ensure the normal operation of the pole vault landing area, with the safety cushions (92) pushed into the niche (92.2) and not activated.

[0829] PRINCIPLE OF OPERATION OF “Smart Safety Cushion”

[0830] Operating principle:

[0831] D as Sensor in the box (3)

[0832] P as Time relay

[0833] S as Solenoid (96.1)

[0834] M as Mechanism

[0835] D-»R: Pole strike signal

[0836] P-»S: Activation after 1 sec

[0837] S-»M: Wedge release

[0838] M-»P: Cushion extension

[0839] P-»M: Cushioning when hitting an obstacle loop Return

[0840] M-»M: Retraction by drive (94) end

[0841] Before the moment of vault, the “safety cushions” (92) are hidden and pushed into the side pads and are located under the mats of the pole vault landing area (91) and are extended from the side pads (92.1) Fig. 32 only at the moment of vault due to the smart system of activation of the extension mechanism.

[0842] That is, if the vaulter or any other athlete is simply in the “safety corridor” (93), then the “safety cushions” will not work, but if the vaulter is performing a vault, then at the moment of vault, the “safety cushions” will automatically extend Fig. 33 closing the area between the side pads. Moreover, the extension is safe, if, for example, there is a foot in the path of the "safety cushions", then the soft cushions will cushion the impact with the obstacle and smoothly stop their movement without causing harm to the athlete, due to the spring drive of the extension mechanism, which in the event of a collision with an obstacle smoothly dampens the movement and the cushions stop.

[0843] Fig. 35 shows an electromechanical pusher with automatic locking of the rack (102) and a return mechanism; linear pusher (94).

[0844] The essence of the invention:

[0845] The mechanism is designed for cyclic displacement of the spring-loaded rack (102) on which the "safety cushion" (92) is located, followed by fixation and safe release. Consists of Fig. 35:

[0846] - Linear drive (94), creating a force on the rack (102), with an L-shaped return protrusion (94.1)

[0847] - Rack (102) with a compression spring mounted on guides - in the form of a telescopic pusher with a return spring (95)

[0848] - Blocker (96) in the form of a spring-loaded wedge interacting with a groove on the rack (102), spring (96.2) of the blocker.

[0849] - Solenoid (96.1), controlling the blocker.

[0850] - "Safety cushions" (92) have a supporting frame made of metal, aluminum or plastic with which the cushions extension mechanisms interact. The supporting frame includes - the first rail (101) external, running along the side section and hidden by soft safety cushions.

[0851] - the second rail (102) extending comparable in parallel to the width of the "safety cushions" comparable to half of the width of the "safety corridor" (93), at least 60 cm, and to a length comparable to the length of the "safety corridor" (93).

[0852] - the second rail (102) through the hinged connection (99) passes into the movable lever (98), which through the hinge is connected to another lever (97) which is fixed on the line of symmetry of the "safety corridor" (93). - the hinged connection (97, 98, 99) of the first, second rail, providing uniform transverse deflection of the supporting frame of the safety cushions (92).

[0853] - a stop (103) interacting with the hinged connection (97, 98, 99).

[0854] - rollers (100) connected to the supporting frame (first rail, second rail).

[0855] - in the pole vault box (3), in the place where the pole is inserted during the vault, a metal plate (3.1) is installed, behind which there is a sensor that reacts to impact, pressure, weight, for example model:

[0856] Minisense 100, size: 05x0.3 mm (like a coin) principle: Piezoelectric element;

[0857] Alternative:

[0858] Flexi Force A301 size: circle 025mm, thickness: 0.2mm, linear response.

[0859] These sensors are not provided for limitation, but as an example and can be replaced with similar devices.

[0860] Operating principle of the mechanism:

[0861] 1. The displacement phase of Fig. 35:

[0862] - The linear drive (94) with the help of the L-shaped hook pulls in the rack (102), compressing the spring (95).

[0863] - When the specified deviation is reached, the wedge of the blocker (96) under the action of the rack (102) is pressed downwards and then, when the rack passes over the wedge-shaped protrusion of the blocker (96), under the action of its spring (96.2), the wedge-shaped protrusion of the blocker (96) rises behind the rack and fixes its reverse movement Fig. 37. In this case, the hinged joint - the lever (97), the movable lever (98) allow the second rack (102) to move evenly relative to the "pole vault box" (3) and the telescopic pusher with a return spring (95).

[0864] Moreover, at the moment when the first rail (101) reaches the specified depth, the hinge joint (99) begins to rest against the stop (103), ensuring that the movement of this section stops, while accelerated movement begins on the opposite section of the rail to the required depth of immersion in the niche.

[0865] At the same time, the rollers (100) provide the bearing frame of the safety cushions with smooth sliding along the treadmill.

[0866] 2. Disengagement phase:

[0867] - The linear actuator (94) is retracted to the initial position Fig. 36 and switched off.

[0868] 3. Return phase:

[0869] - When the solenoid (96.1) is activated, the wedge of the locking device (96) is lowered below the point of engagement with the rack and comes out of engagement with the second rack (102).

[0870] - The spring of the telescopic pusher (95) is released, resting against the second rack (102), returning the “safety cushions” (92) to the initial position Fig. 35. In this case, the second rack (102) is in the engagement zone of the L-shaped protrusion of the linear actuator (94).

[0871] 4. Re-engagement:

[0872] - The linear actuator (94) moves back and its L-shaped protrusion at the end of the rod pulls the second rack (102), under the side pads of the pole vault landing area (91) preparing for a new cycle Fig. 37.

[0873] Control:

[0874] Controller with algorithm: IF the second rack (102) is blocked (Hall sensor) —> actuator retraction;

[0875] IF the solenoid is activated waiting for the return of the second rack (102) (encoder) -> linear actuator feed back.

[0876] Finished components:

[0877] - Linear actuator: Hsiang Neng HN710B**: Stroke up to 300 mm (30 cm), force up to 200 kg (1960 N).

[0878] - Solenoid: Trombetta 684-1261-212 (12 V, 250 N thrust).

[0879] - Sensors: Pepperl+Fuchs UC5000-30GM (inductive for stroke control).

[0880] The principle of operation of the activation of "safety cushions" (92)

[0881] When performing a vault, the vaulter sticks the pole into the pole vault box (3) and at this moment the pressure sensor is triggered which sends a signal to the time relay, which after one second sends current to the solenoid (96.1), which unlocks the blocker (96) and the compressed telescopic pusher with a return spring instantly extends the "safety cushions" (92), which extends simultaneously from both sides with a spring straightening force of about 15-30 kg.

[0882] The spring force can be adjusted based on the specific weight of the safety cushions. Moreover, at the moment the safety cushions come out and meet an obstacle, further extension movement will be stopped due to the soft "extension spring" which cushions the sudden encounter with an obstacle.

[0883] The triggering of the safety cushions extension mechanism can be adjusted by adjusting the time relay, as an example:

[0884] - Shelly Plus 1 Mini, application: Shelly Cloud, ready-made iOS / Android application, timers, schedules, scenarios

[0885] - ESP32-C3 SuperMini + ADXL345, WiFi: 802.11 , programmable via Arduino IDE

[0886] When using a vaulter pole equipped with a booster (2), before making a high vault, a visual information system about readiness for work is provided - "Smart Safety Padding", which informs the vaulter that the safety cushion is activated and it is possible to make a vault.

[0887] Advantages:

[0888] - Automatic activation only upon jumping

[0889] - Smooth stop upon encountering an obstacle

[0890] - Compatibility with standard landing zones

[0891] - Quick return to the initial position (0.8-1.2 sec)

[0892] - Visual readiness indicator ("Smart Safety Padding")

[0893] Example of implementation:

[0894] - Response time: 1 sec after pole impact

[0895] - Extension speed: 0.5 m / s

[0896] - Spring force: 200 N (adjustable)

[0897] - Power consumption: 150 W

[0898] - Protection: IP54 for outdoor use

[0899] Integration with booster:

[0900] When using a pole with a booster (2), the system:

[0901] 1. Receives a readiness signal via Wi-Fi

[0902] 2. Activates a visual indicator ("Ready to jump")

[0903] 3. Synchronizes the response time with the booster operation

[0904] SAFETY MODE ACTIVATION SIGNAL SYSTEM

[0905] LED pole vault bar with an indication system that devices such as a booster (2) and a protective safety cushion (92) are activated and ready for normal operation.

[0906] TECHNICAL FIELD

[0907] The invention relates to sports equipment, in particular to bars for high vault and with a pole, equipped with a built-in light indication system for visualizing the training and competition process.

[0908] BACKGROUND ART Traditional high vault bars are known, made of fiberglass or carbon fiber, having a standard diameter of 30 mm and a length of 4.0-4.5 m (see World Athletics rules, section 181-182). Such bars are usually painted in contrasting colors for visual perception.

[0909] The disadvantages of known solutions are:

[0910] - lack of integration with modern security systems;

[0959] Operating algorithm

[0960] Magnetic sensor operating principle:

[0961] 1. The magnetic field of the marker (NdFeB magnet 010x3 mm) is recorded by the Hall sensor. The magnetic marker is installed under the shelf where the end of the bar lies.

[0962] 2. When the stick is moved >5 mm: the sensor registers a change in the field vector (B < 15 mT) -> ESP32 switches the LED from '#00FF00' to '#FF0000'.

[0963] 3. Impact / touch is ignored (response threshold: AB / At < 0.1 T / s).

[0964] 4. Only triggers when the bar is moved - when the bar falls. Gyroscope sensor

[0965] 1. Triggers when hit or touched

[0966] 2. Triggers when the bar is moved

[0967] The system works as follows (Fig. 3):

[0968] Initialization:

[0969] When the safety cushions mechanism is cocked, the second rail (102) is fixed by the blocker (96) Fig. 36 and its wedge-shaped protrusion begins to press on the pressure sensor located between the wedge-shaped protrusion of the blocker (96) and the second rail (102), and the pressure sensor sends a signal via Bluetooth to the ESP32 device located in the vault bar.

[0970] When the vault bar is turned on, self-diagnostics are performed, the sensors are calibrated, communication is established with the control device, which recognizes the signal via Bluetooth from the safety cushions and sends a signal to turn on the green light.

[0971] The vaulter visually receives a signal that the safety cushion is activated and ready for operation.

[0972] In this case, the vault bar enters the touch response mode:

[0973] Continuous polling of the accelerometer with a frequency of 1 kHz;

[0974] Calculation of the acceleration vector modulus;

[0975] Comparison with the dynamic threshold (adaptive algorithm);

[0976] Displays the selected light mode.

[0979] Instant color switching (e.g. green red);

[0980] Sending notifications via WiFi / Bluetooth;

[0981] Writing an event in the log. Light modes:

[0982] Static: constant glow of the selected color;

[0983] Pulsation: smooth change of brightness 0-100% with a frequency of 0.5-2 Hz;

[0984] Running lights: sequential switching on of segments;

[0985] Gradient: smooth color transition along the length of the bar;

[0986] Reactive: change depending on movement.

This design guarantees protection of the kit components from damage during transportation and storage. The internal packing of tools may vary, for example, depending on the screwdriver model (85).

[1041] OPTIONS FOR STORING AND TRANSPORTING A POLE WITH A BOOSTER

[1042] A pole (1) equipped with a booster (2) is a unique training tool and requires careful handling, but also use under the supervision of a trainer and requires separate special storage, which excludes its accidental use by a large group of vaulters.

[1043] In a gym, poles are usually stored vertically along the walls or in a horizontal position and are therefore easily accessible. And the gym can simultaneously contain about 150 - 300 poles. At the same time, there can be only 2-5 poles equipped with a booster (2), and to separate them from the total mass of poles, they require individual storage with restricted access.

[1044] A specially developed storage and transportation system for these purposes allows you to restrict unauthorized access of the vaulter to the pole or group of poles equipped with a booster.

[1045] "A case for storing a pole with a booster with restricted access"

[1046] To organize the storage of poles equipped with a booster with limited access in the training room, an aluminum or plastic roll case with impact protection is used - Pole Vault Carrier Fig. 43, the design of which includes roller elements for transportation, locking elements for limited access and elements for manual carrying.

[1047] TECHNICAL FIELD The invention relates to providing storage of sports equipment with limited free access.

[1048] BACKGROUND ART

[1049] Transport systems for moving poles (1) in the area of a training stadium are known in the form of aluminum racks on wheels allowing a group of poles to be rolled. The poles are located horizontally on protruding racks and are freely accessible.

[1050] The disadvantages of the known solution are: access to the poles is not limited; individual storage is not provided; allocation of a storage location is not provided; visibility of a dedicated guarded group of poles is not ensured; does not allow transportation of poles for air transportation;

[1051] TECHNICAL PROBLEM

[1052] Providing access restriction to the poles; improving the quality of storage of expensive equipment; grouping poles equipped with a booster and elements of a mechanized jack in one place with access restriction; providing intercity transportation of poles with boosters with access restriction.

[1053] TECHNICAL EFFECT

[1054] Even load distribution on the walls of the pole and booster is achieved during storage and movement of the case (115); The locking system provides various options for access restrictions, a combination lock - opened by a digital combination, a frame lock (Lock Housing I Zipper Lock Assembly), in TSA locks this is called a TSA Locking Mechanism, a runner blocker (Slider Lock) - a minilock put on each runner to prevent movement, a TSA-compatible lock and other similar closing systems.

[1055] Hand-carrying elements and a roller system provide mobility for the autonomous storage system of poles with boosters.

[1056] DETAILED DESCRIPTION The lightweight body of the Powerjack Kit Case is made of plastic. Inside there is a molded shock-absorbing insert made of polyurethane foam (PUF).

[1057] The case (115) is made lengthwise to accommodate a pole of a length corresponding to the length of the pole with the possibility of additional space at the end ends for placing additional equipment in the form of booster elements, mechanized jack elements or other devices used by the vaulter to service the pole (1) and prepare for the vault.

[1058] The locking elements (116) Fig. 43 can be located along the entire length of the case (115), they can be of the lock type or in the form of a detachable zipper of the tractor type, allows you to completely unzip the two sides of the case, a two- lock detachable zipper, two movable dogs moving towards each other - a zipper access system.

[1059] Internal equipment:

[1060] - The molded polyurethane insert (88) is made with a geometry repeating the shape of the pole with a protrusion for the booster, ensuring a tight fixation of the poles (1) with boosters (2) Fig. 43, eliminating their displacement and mutual impacts during, for example, vertical storage or, for example, when moving around the sports ground.

[1061] At the same time, the pole equipped with a booster remains under the lock and full control of the trainer and guarantees the safety of the unique vaulting set during transportation and storage.

[1062] To ensure transportation, the Pole Vault Carrier is provided with a pair of rollers (100), which are located on the end ends of the opening halves, while as an option, the rollers can be on only one end side. At the time of use, the case will contain 5 five-meter poles with boosters, then their total weight will be about 20 kg and for carrying you can grab the handle (117) located on one of the end ends, while the opposite end of the case will roll due to the rollers (100) on the ground, while the load on the handle (117) will be 9.7 kg. MOBILE STAND WITH INDIVIDUAL STORAGE PLACE ON THE SPORTS GROUND FOR FIELD ATHLETIC POLES

[1063] TECHNICAL FIELD

[1064] Organization of an individual limited access system on the territory of a stadium for athletics poles equipped with a vault booster.

[1065] BACKGROUND ART

[1066] Portable cases for storing poles, as well as roll cases, are known from the field of technology.

[1067] The disadvantages of known solutions are:

[1068] - requires additional equipment for lifting above the ground to organize convenient access to the equipment

[1069] - does not provide autonomous convenient access to equipment in stadium conditions

[1070] - requires additional racks to ensure storage

[1071] TECHNICAL PROBLEM

[1072] Existing cover storage systems require their integration into transportation means to organize an individual stand at the stadium for convenient extraction and use of unique training equipment

[1073] TECHNICAL EFFECT

[1074] This is achieved through a universal and mobile stand that is easily integrated into the cover storage system of the athletics pole, which is made with the provision of extension of stable supports that raise the cover storage system above the surface of the running track.

[1075] SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION

[1076] The mobile stand (127) comprises - rollers (100) to transport the tube (125)

[1077] - the tube (125) made of a soft plastic material, such as polyethylene, or leather substitute, or PVC

[1078] - on the body of the tube (125) there are grooves (128) for interaction with belts (123), the ends of which are equipped with interlocking elements, contact tape, velcro.

[1079] - the body of the tube (125) is made in the form of a pipe with a diameter of 10 to 40 cm, which can have a longitudinal cut (129)

[1080] - retractable stands (124) connected to the tube (125) made with the ability to fold along the body of the tube (125) and with the ability to extend during installation with the ability to hold the tube (125) above the ground, containing poles (1) with boosters (2) and a cover (126), with the ability to ensure a stable position and a comfortable height during normal use

[1081] - a handle (117) for transportation, provides lifting end of the case (126) and transportation of the tube (125) by means of a pair of rollers (100) connected to the retractable stand (124) and the body of the tube (125)

[1082] - the tube (125) and the case (126) can be equipped with locking systems provide a combination lock, - opened with a digital combination, a frame lock (Lock Housing I Zipper Lock Assembly), in TSA locks this is called a TSA Locking Mechanism, a slider lock (Slider Lock) - a mini-lock put on each slider to prevent movement, a TSA-compatible lock and other similar closing systems

[1083] - PVC cover (126), waterproof with a locking system of the locking type in the form of a detachable zipper of the tractor type, allows to completely unzip the cover (126) longitudinally, two-lock detachable zipper two movable dogs moving towards each other - access system on the zipper, with provision for unzipping

[1084] - along the entire length of the cover - from the end ends with arrangement by diameter, with provision for opening from the end side of the cover (126)

[1085] - the cover is made with the possibility of fastening with the help of belts (123) connected to the body of the tube (125)

[1086] The device operates as follows:

[1087] The pole (1) equipped with a booster (2) is located inside the cover (126), wherein the tip (9) of the pole is located in the depth of the cover (126) in the area of the grip handle (117), and the cover (18) of the booster and the upper end of the pole (1) are located on the side of the outlet opening in the end portion of the tube

[1088] (125) located next to the rollers (100), wherein the end opening of the tube (125) is closed by a quick-access system with a lock-type zipper.

[1089] In another embodiment in which an independent portable cover system (126) is integrated into the mobile stand with the tube (125), the end end of the cover

[1090] (126) with a quick-access system is located there.

[1091] Thus, the mobile stand with a tube (125) can have its own cover system (126), or it can use a third-party cover system, for this purpose the mobile stand with a tube (125) has belts (123) that allow the athlete to use the cover system he has for integration into the mobile stand with a tube (125).

[1092] The mobile stand with a tube (125) is transported by the handle (117), while the end end of the cover system rises above the ground and the opposite end end connected to the tube (125) rests on the rollers (100) and due to them moves smoothly when the athlete moves along the sports field and pulls the cover (126) by the handle (117) behind him.

[1093] Having reached the desired zone on the sports field, the athlete moves to the tube (125). One of the belts (123) is equipped with a Velcro fastener and holds the racks (124). Vaulter disconnects the said belt (123) and extends the retractable racks (124), while the end side of the tube (125) with rollers (100) rises above the ground to a height comfortable for the vaulter.

[1094] At the same time, on the opposite end of the tube (125) there is another retractable rack that can also be extended for a more stable position of the system. As a result, the vaulter receives a mobile, individual and quickly deployable storage system with convenient access to training equipment in any place chosen by him on the stadium training field.

[1095] In this case, the mobile rack can be made as a separate tube (125) without a cover (126).

[1096] And this solution is useful for those vaulters who already have a cover (126) and they can, due to the straps (123) and slots (128) in the body of the tube (125), ensure the coupling of their individual cover (126) with the tube (125), while the cover (126) can have an internal tube made, for example, of PVC and this version of the cover is more preferable for integration with the mobile stand (125) since it allows you to tightly grasp the cover tube with straps (123) which, due to the longitudinal cut (129), can be elastically compressed by the straps (123) and compress the diameter of the tube (125) to any diameter of the cover (126), providing friction coupling.
