Description

20243320EVG 04.1 1.2024 - 1 - DEVICE FOR FIXING VARIOUS ATTACHMENTS TO WATER SPORTS BOARDS DESCRIPTION Technical field

[0001] The present invention relates to a device for arranging various attachments such as chairs, electric drives, bags, sails, tables, etc. on water sports boards (hereinafter generally referred to as boards) such as stand-up paddleboards (SUP boards), wakeboards, knee or multi-position boards, etc., according to the preamble of claim 1. State of the art

[0002] Seating options on boards are limited. So far, only unsecured chairs are known, or chairs are inadequately secured to boards using cargo straps. These often don't fit the boards properly. Combining multiple boards has previously only been possible with cumbersome poles.

[0003] In the prior art, devices such as clamps, cuffs, etc., are generally known, some of which also include a retaining profile for mounting one or more attachments. These retaining profiles have a strap- or band-like fastening element for attaching the retaining profile to various objects. However, such devices are not suitable for mounting attachments on boards and do not allow for easy connection of these devices to identical devices. 20243320EVO 04.1 1.2024 - 2 - Description of the invention

[0004] The present invention aims to eliminate the aforementioned disadvantages and to create a device that allows various attachments, such as chairs and / or other accessories, to be easily and quickly fixed to any board and to combine several boards.

[0005] According to the invention, the aforementioned problem is solved in accordance with the preamble of claim 1 in conjunction with the characterizing features. Advantageous embodiments and further developments of the device according to the invention are specified in the dependent claims.

[0006] According to the prior art, the device according to the invention comprises at least one first retaining profile for arranging one or more attachment parts, wherein at least one strap- or band-like fastening means for attaching the first retaining profile to a water sports board is arranged on the retaining profile.

[0007] The device according to the invention is characterized in that it further comprises at least one rod-, bar- or tubular-shaped and / or elongated connecting element which can be inserted into or attached to at least one receptacle of the first holding profile designed for slidably inserting and / or attaching the connecting element to the first holding profile.

[0008] The rod-, bar-, or tubular and / or elongated connecting element, which is preferably elastic, allows several identical retaining profiles to be reversibly connected to one another by means of the appropriately designed receptacle. By appropriately designing the retaining profile and the length of the connecting element or several such connecting elements, at least two 20243320EVG 04.1 1.2024 - 3 - Boards can be connected in parallel. This allows multiple units to be combined as often as desired, so that a single board can be used to create a catamaran, trimaran, or, with further boards, rafts. The elasticity of the materials used allows for compensation of waves and heeling.

[0009] The design of the strap- or band-like fastening mechanism on the device means the mounting profile is not limited to a specific board size. The strap circumference is adjustable. If longer or shorter straps are needed, they can be quickly and easily replaced to allow the system to be used on boards outside of standard widths. Brief description of the drawings

Alternatively, other actuating devices can be used to move the clamping arm and / or clamping leg 1051 instead of the clamping lever 1050.

[0023] As can be seen from Figs. 1 to 6, the first retaining profile 10' is preferably formed from an elongated profile part 106 and is preferably plate-like.

[0024] On the first retaining profile 10' at least one fastening receptacle 101 for receiving the belt- or strap-like fastening means 1 1 can be arranged or formed.

[0025] Furthermore, another embodiment of the invention provides that at least one adjusting, locking, and / or clamping means for adjustable adjustment and / or fixing of the belt- or strap-like fastening element 1 1 to the first holding profile 10' is provided. The fastening element 1 1 may preferably comprise at least one first end 1 10 an adjusting, locking, and / or clamping element 1 12 corresponding to the adjusting, locking, and / or clamping means 102, wherein the adjusting means 102 is preferably a ratchet and the adjusting element 102 is a ratchet rail.In this embodiment of the invention, the fastening means 1 1 is preferably attached or attachable to the first retaining profile 10' in a non-displacing or immovable manner with its second end 1 1 1 opposite the first end 1 10, wherein the two ends 1 10, 1 1 1 are advantageously each inserted into the first retaining profile 10' at its end. 20243320EVO 04.1 1.2024 - 6 -

[0026] In a further embodiment of the invention, at least one holding device 103 for arranging one or more attachment parts is provided on the first holding profile 10', wherein the holding device 103 is particularly preferably designed for reversibly attachable receiving of a round bar, round rod, and / or tubular body.

[0027] In a further advantageous embodiment of the invention, the first retaining profile 10' is formed from at least two form-fitting half-profiles 104', 104", wherein a) to form the receptacles 100 and / or b) to form the fastening receptacle 101 on the first retaining profile 10' corresponding recesses 1040', 1040" opposite each other are formed on the half-profiles 104', 104" opposite each other.

[0028] As already explained, a particularly advantageous embodiment of the invention – as illustrated in E. 4-6 – provides that the device 1 comprises at least one second retaining profile 10", which is designed according to the first retaining profile 10', wherein the first retaining profile 10' and the second retaining profile 10" are connected or connectable to each other with variable spacing by inserting the connecting means 13 into the respective receptacles 100 of the at least two retaining profiles 10', 10"

[0029] The distance between the first retaining profile 10' and the second retaining profile 10" can advantageously be individually adjustable by moving the connecting element 13 on or within one or more receptacles 100 of the retaining profiles 10', 10". 20243320EVO 04.1 1.2024 - 7 - List of reference numbers 1 Device 2 watersports boards 10' first holding profile 10" second retaining profile 1 1 Fastening device designed like a belt or strap 12 Fasteners 100 Receptacles for the connecting element on a holding profile 101 elongated mounting receptacle for the fastener 102 Adjusting, locking, clamping devices 103 Holding device 104', 104" Half-profiles of the retaining profiles 105 Fixatives 106 elongated profile part of the retaining profiles 1 10 first end of the fastener 1 1 1 second end of the fastener 1 12 Adjustment, locking and / or clamping element on the fastener 1050 clamping lever on the fixing device 1051 Clamping arm / clamping leg 1052 spring 1040, 1040 opposite recesses on the half-profiles L Longitudinal direction of the retaining profiles
