Sailboard centerboard

Device for securing a forked boom to the mast of a sailboard

This invention relates to a boom end piece, which has at least approximately the shape of a U or V and is adapted to be connected by a plug joint to two tubular spars of a boom of a sailboard rig. The two leg ends of the end piece consist of pegs and the end piece consists of two one-half sections, which are rigidly connected to each other and each of which comprises two half pegs.

Boom end piece

Sailboard provided with foot-retaining loops

The sailboard has an opening, which contains a tongue of a mast base, which is articulatedly connected to the mast, so that the mast base is detachably connected to the sailboard. One side face of the opening is provided with a detent cam, which is adapted to be depressed against spring force and has an oblique or curved camming surface, which is adapted to snap behind the step or stop as the tongue is inserted into the opening.

Sailboard

Method and apparatus for testing the resetting capacity of safety ski

A device for connecting a sailmast to a sailboard comprises a mast-connecting universal joint, which is connected at one end to the mast and is permanently fixed thereto or can be only arbitrarily separated therefrom and is connected at its other end to a supporting member, which when the device is in position for use is received at least in part by a recess in the upper surface of the sailboard so as to be positively connected thereto. To provide for an overload coupling, the supporting member is constantly biased by a spring so that the positive connection can be eliminated only when the spring force is overcome.

Device for connecting a sailmast to a sailboard

A mast-connecting universal joint is provided, which is connected at one end to the mast and is permanently fixed thereto or can be only arbitrarily separated therefrom, and which is connected at its other end to a supporting member, which is biased by a resilient element and in position for use is positively held in a slide, which is longitudinally slidably guided and adapted to be resilient locked in a groove of the sailboard. The resilient element constitutes a return spring for the supporting member when the mast is in any position of use, and a return spring for moving the longitudinally slidable slide to a position in which the slide is releasably locked.

A cable is connected at one end to the skiing boot and at the other end to the ski. Detent elements are provided to hold the skiing boot in skiing position on the ski. A mounting fixture is secured to the ski approximately in the middle portion thereof and is connected to the cable. A tensioner is connected to the cable and causes the latter to hold the detent elements in engagement with each other. A single detent device is provided, which comprises a one-base or two-base segment of a sphere or ellipsoid and a mating cap. The cable extends at the center of one detent element and through the center of the other detent element. The tensioner always loads the cable, in a manner known per se. Where the detent device comprises a segment of a sphere, said segment has at least one protection and the cap has a mating interior recess.

Safety ski binding

A baseplate is mounted on the upper surface of the ski adjacent to the heel of the skiing boot and extends normally in the longitudinal direction of the ski and is rotatable on a vertical axis against a preferably adjustable resistance. A boot carrier is hinged to the baseplate at the forward end of the latter and holds the skiing boot so that the latter is only arbitrarily detachable. The rear end of the boot carrier is lifted from the baseplate against a preferably adjustable resistance. The boot carrier comprises a frame and extends across the baseplate adjacent to the skiing boot. The forward end member of the frame constitutes a hinge pin, which is rotatably mounted on the baseplate. The rear ends of the baseplate and boot carrier are connected by a spring-loaded tension cable and winder assembly.
