Abstract
Description
Die vorliegende Erfindung betrifft eine Sicherheitseinrichtung für einen Seilgarten.The present invention relates to a safety device for a rope garden.
In als Sport- oder Freizeitanlagen benützten Seilgärten, manchmal auch als Seilparks oder Klettergärten bezeichnet, werden Seile an Bäumen oder Masten befestigt. Die Benützer können einen Parcours absolvieren, bei dem es auf geschicktes Steigen, Hangeln, Balancieren, Halten, Rutschen und/oder Gleiten ankommt. Insbesondere in Hochseilgärten, wo sie sich in grösserer Höhe bewegen, müssen die Benützer Klettergurte verwenden und sich an Stahlseilen sichern. Dabei kommt es auf die permanente Sicherung an. Diese erfolgt bisher meistens mittels Karabinerhaken, wobei im Bereich der an Bäumen oder Masten angeordneten Seilhalter ein Umhängen stattfinden muss. Da dabei ein gefährliches Entsichern stattfindet, wurden Sicherungen mit zwei Karabinerhaken entwickelt, wobei einer der beiden Karabinerhaken stets am Sicherungsseil angeschlagen sein muss. Erfahrungsgemäss kommen bei ungeübten Benützern dennoch falsche Handhabungen vor, was zu schlimmen Unfällen führen kann. Daher wurden die Sicherungssysteme entwickelt, bei denen das gleichzeitige Öffnen beider Karabinerhaken technisch verunmöglicht ist. Die Sicherheit ist damit wohl verbessert. Dem Bedienungskomfort ist diese Sicherheitstechnik aber abträglich, gerade für ungeübte Benützer. So kommt es beim Umhängen zu unerwünschten Verzögerungen und Wartezeiten.In ropes courses used as sports or leisure facilities, sometimes referred to as rope parks or climbing gardens, ropes are attached to trees or masts. The users can take part in a course that involves skilful climbing, hanging, balancing, holding, sliding and / or gliding. Especially in ropes courses, where they move at higher altitudes, the users have to use climbing harnesses and secure themselves to steel cables. It depends on the permanent backup. This is done so far mostly by means of snap hooks, which must take place in the field of arranged on trees or masts rope holder. Since a dangerous Entsichern takes place, fuses were developed with two snap hooks, with one of the two snap hooks must always be posted on the safety rope. Experience has shown that inexperienced users, however, wrong handling, which can lead to serious accidents. Therefore, the safety systems were developed in which the simultaneous opening of both snap hooks is technically impossible. The security is probably improved. The ease of use of this safety technology but is detrimental, especially for inexperienced users. So it comes with the hanging to unwanted delays and waiting times.
Auf der Grundlage dieser Erkenntnisse setzt sich die Erfindung die Aufgabe, eine Sicherheitseinrichtung für einen Seilgarten zu schaffen, die gleichermassen eine hohe Sicherheit und einen hohen Bedienungskomfort bietet.On the basis of these findings, the invention has the object to provide a safety device for a rope garden, which also offers a high level of safety and ease of use.
Die erfindungsgemässe Sicherheitseinrichtung entspricht den kennzeichnenden Merkmalen des Patentanspruchs 1. Weitere vorteilhafte Ausbildungen des Erfindungsgedankens sind aus den abhängigen Patentansprüchen ersichtlich.The inventive safety device corresponds to the characterizing features of

Die Sicherheitseinrichtung beinhaltet einen Seilhalter 1 nach
Das hier nur angedeutete Sicherungsseil 5 wird durch eine am Seilhalter 1 angeordnete, als Hohlkörper ausgebildete Seilführung 6 geführt. Deren Innenquerschnitt 7 ist entsprechend dem Durchmesser des Sicherungsseils 5 dimensioniert. Die Seilführung 6 kann ein rohrförmiges Mittelteil 8 mit gleichbleibendem Aussenquerschnitt aufweisen. Die beiden Endteile 9 verjüngen sich dagegen konisch und enden dünnwandig, so dass die Seilführung 6 in diesem Bereich mit einem Aussenquerschnitt endet, der nicht wesentlich grösser als der Durchmesser des Sicherungsseils 5 ist.The only hinted here
Dank des derart ausgebildeten Seilhalters 1 kann, wie in
Am Seilläufer 11, der im Übrigen auch eine Mehrzahl von Rollen 10 aufweisen kann, wird sich der Benützer mittels eines geeigneten Klettergurtes oder dergleichen sichern. Ein Umhängen von Karabinerhaken im Bereich der Reihe von Seilhaltern 1, die der Benützer auf seinem Parcours passieren wird, ist somit nicht mehr notwendig. Vielmehr bleibt er auf seinem ganzen Weg lückenlos gesichert, ohne dass es hierzu besonderer Handgriffe bedürfte. Damit ist eine Fehlbedienung ausgeschlossen und selbst für ungeübte Benützer eine hohe Sicherheit gewährleistet.On the
Der Seilhalter 1 kann sowohl einstückig sein, zum Beispiel als Guss geformt, oder auch aus mehreren, zusammengesetzten Bauteilen bestehen. Eine besondere, mehrteilige Ausführung ist aus den
Die Zeichnungen stellen nach derzeitigen Erkenntnissen bevorzugte Konstruktionen dar. Es liegt aber im Rahmen der Erfindung nach Patentanspruch 1 die Sicherheitseinrichtung auch anders als gezeichnet auszubilden. Die einzelnen Teile 2 bis 23 können sowohl eine andere Form als auch andere Proportionen haben. Der Begriff Teile bezieht sich in diesem Zusammenhang auf den jeweils gemeinten Bereich des Seilhalters 1. Die Seilführung 6 kann anstelle eines rohrförmigen Mittelteils 8 mit sich anschliessenden Endteilen 9 auch einen sich bogenförmig zu beiden Enden verjüngenden Hohlkörper aufweisen, so dass das Mittel- und das Endteil jeweils nahtlos ineinander übergeht. Ferner ist es denkbar, dass die Seilführung 6 nicht in sich geschlossenen, sondern als einen oben offenen, nutförmigen Hohlkörper ausgebildet wird. Aus Sicherheitsgründen wird man in diesem Fall eine hinterschnittene Nut bilden. Theoretisch könnte der Seilhalter 1 auch für mehr als ein Sicherheitsseil 5 konzipiert sein und entsprechend mehr als eine Seilführung 6 aufweisen. Ferner ist auch eine gebogene, beziehungsweise gekurvte Variante der Seilführung denkbar, so dass das Sicherheitsseil 5 den Baum oder Mast nicht zwingend in gerader Linie passieren muss, sondern auch in eine andere Richtung umgelenkt werden kann, sei es nach links oder nach rechts aber auch nach oben oder unten. Auch für diesen Zweck ist die zweigeteilte Ausführung des Seilhalters 1 nach den
