Abstract
Description
Die Neuerung betrifft eine Vorrichtung zum Handhaben von Kegeln für das Kegel- oder Bowlingspiel insb. bei der Reinigung der Kegel, wobei die Vorrichtung einen Bolzen aufweist, der in eine Bohrung im Kegel eingeführt und dort festgehalten werden kann.The innovation relates to a device for handling cones for playing skittles or bowling, in particular when cleaning the cones, the device having a bolt which can be inserted into a bore in the cone and held there.
Eine derartige Vorrichtung ist aus der DE 101 06 102 A1 bekannt. In der DE 101 06 102 A1 ist eine Vorrichtung zum Reinigen von Kegeln beschrieben, die einen trommelartigen, nach oben offenen Behälter aufweist, der innen mit Bürsten versehen ist und der zudem mit Wasser, einer Reinigungsflüssigkeit oder dgl. gefüllt sein kann. Während des Betriebes sollen die Bürsten um die Mittelachse des Behälters rotieren. Zur Handhabung des Kegels in dieser Reinigungsvorrichtung wird eine Vorrichtung der eingangs genannten Art verwendet, die in eine Bohrung im Boden des Kegels eingesetzt wird. Das dem Kegel abgewandte Ende der Vorrichtung weist einen Handgriff auf. An dem Handgriff wird die Vorrichtung ergriffen und so der Kegel mit dem Kopf nach unten in den Behälter eingetaucht, wobei er von den rotierenden Bürsten gereinigt wird. Dabei macht man es sich zunutze, dass aus Kunststoff hergestellte Kegel üblicherweise aus produktionstechnischen Gründen eine Bohrung im Boden aufweisen. Gleiches gilt natürlich auch für Kegel aus anderen Werkstoffen wie z.B. Holz bzw. Kombinationen aus verschiedenen Werkstoffen, wie z.B. Kegel mit einem Kern aus Holz, welcher mit einem Überzug aus Kunststoff versehen ist.Such a device is known from DE 101 06 102 A1. DE 101 06 102 A1 describes a device for cleaning cones which has a drum-like container which is open at the top and which has brushes on the inside is provided and which can also be filled with water, a cleaning liquid or the like. The brushes should rotate about the central axis of the container during operation. To handle the cone in this cleaning device, a device of the type mentioned at the outset is used, which is inserted into a hole in the bottom of the cone. The end of the device facing away from the cone has a handle. The device is gripped by the handle and so the cone is immersed head down into the container, whereby it is cleaned by the rotating brushes. It makes use of the fact that cones made of plastic usually have a hole in the bottom for production reasons. The same naturally also applies to cones made of other materials, such as wood, or combinations of different materials, such as cones with a wooden core, which is provided with a plastic covering.
Der Neuerung liegt die Aufgabe zugrunde, eine Vorrichtung der eingangs genannten Art so auszubilden, dass der Bolzen bei einfacher Ausbildung fest in der Bohrung gehalten werden kann, wobei die Verbindung einfach und schnell herstellbar und lösbar sein soll.The innovation is based on the object of designing a device of the type mentioned at the outset so that the bolt can be held firmly in the bore with a simple design, the connection should be simple and quick to produce and detach.
Diese Aufgabe wird gemäß der Neuerung dadurch gelöst, dass der Bolzen konisch ausgebildet ist und sich zum freien Ende hin verjüngt. Vorzugsweise ist der konische Abschnitt des Bolzens zudem außen mit einem Gewinde versehen, wodurch die Verbindung noch verbessert wird.According to the innovation, this object is achieved in that the bolt is conical and tapers towards the free end. The conical section of the bolt is preferably also provided with a thread on the outside, as a result of which the connection is further improved.
Aufgrund der Neuerung kann der Kegel auf einfache Art aufgenommen und gegen axiales Herausrutschen sowie gegen ein Verdrehen gegenüber dem Handgriff gesichert werden. Hierzu wird die vorgeschlagene Vorrichtung mit ihrem freien Ende in das im Kegel, zumeist in seiner Aufstandsfläche befindliche Loch eingeführt. Mit einer halben bis zwei Umdrehungen kann die Vorrichtung einfach und fest mit dem Kegel verbunden werden, wobei die Verbindung sowohl bei Kunststoffkegeln als auch bei hölzernen Kegeln oder Kegeln aus verschiedenen Werkstoffen herstellbar ist. In vorteilhafter Weise sind die Gewindegänge im Bolzen so ausgebildet, dass sie sich einerseits in der Bohrung im Kegel verklemmen, andererseits aber auch ein Gewinde ansatzweise in die Bohrung hinein schneiden.Due to the innovation, the cone can be easily picked up and secured against axial slipping out and against twisting relative to the handle. For this purpose, the proposed device is inserted with its free end into the hole in the cone, usually in its contact surface. With half a turn or two turns, the device can be easily and firmly connected to the cone, the connection being able to be produced from different materials both with plastic cones and with wooden cones or cones. Advantageously, the threads in the bolt are designed such that they jam in the bore in the cone on the one hand, but on the other hand also partially cut a thread into the bore.
Nach einer vorteilhaften Ausführungsform der Neuerung ist vor dem konischen Abschnitt des Bolzens an dessen freien Ende ein zylindrischer Teil als Führungshilfe vorgesehen.According to an advantageous embodiment of the innovation, a cylindrical part is provided as a guide aid in front of the conical section of the bolt at its free end.
Auf Grund der konischen Ausführung am freien Ende der Vorrichtung können Kegel mit unterschiedlich starken Löchern gehalten werden. So können etwa Kegel unterschiedlicher Ausführung und/oder Hersteller gleichermaßen in die Vorrichtung zur Reinigung von Kegeln gemäß der DE 101 06 102 Al eingeführt werden.Due to the conical design at the free end of the device, cones with holes of different strengths can be held. For example, cones of different designs and / or manufacturers can be introduced into the device for cleaning cones in accordance with DE 101 06 102 A1.
Weitere Einzelheiten der Neuerung werden anhand der Zeichnung erläutert.Further details of the innovation are explained using the drawing.
Die Figur zeigt ein Ausführungsbeispiel der Neuerung.The figure shows an embodiment of the innovation.
Die Vorrichtung 1 besteht aus einem stabförmigen Körper, der z.B. durch Drehen aus Metall hergestellt sein kann. Sie weist ein Ende 2 auf, das in eine Bohrung im Boden (d.h. in der Aufstandsfläche) eines Kegels eingeführt werden kann. Weist etwa ein Kegel ein Loch, insbesondere ein Sackloch, oben in seinem Kopf auf, so kann die Vorrichtung selbstverständlich auch einen solchen Kegel aufnehmen. An dem gegenüber liegenden Ende 3 der Vorrichtung 1 kann ein Handgriff befestigt werden. Das Ende 3 ist dazu mit einem Gewinde 4 versehen, auf das der Handgriff (nicht dargestellt) aufgeschraubt werden kann. Der Handgriff kann z.B. eine quer zu der Vorrichtung 1 angeordnete Stange sein, so dass die gesamte Vorrichtung dann eine T-förmige Gestalt erhält, wie es in der oben zitierten DE 101 06 102 A1 dargestellt ist. Die Verbindung der Vorrichtung mit dem Griff kann z.B. auch durch Verschweißen hergestellt werden.The device 1 consists of a rod-shaped body which e.g. can be made of metal by turning. It has an end 2 which can be inserted into a hole in the bottom (i.e. in the contact area) of a cone. If, for example, a cone has a hole, in particular a blind hole, in the top of its head, the device can of course also accommodate such a cone. A handle can be attached to the
Es sind auch andere Ausgestaltungen eines Griffes denkbar, wie Z.B. ein Ring. Die Vorrichtung kann an ihrem Ende 3 z.B. auch mit einer anderen Vorrichtung (nicht dargestellt) verbunden werden, welche etwa das Einführen des Kegels in die Reinigungsvorrichtung gemäß DE 101 06 102 A1 automatisch vornimmt, so dass dieses dann nicht von Hand zu geschehen hat.Other configurations of a handle are also conceivable, such as e.g. a ring. At its
Wichtig ist nun die Ausbildung des Endes 2 der Vorrichtung 1. Die Vorrichtung 1 läuft dort in einen Bolzen 5 aus, der einen konischen, sich zum freien Ende hin verjüngenden Abschnitt 6 aufweist und der mit einem Gewinde 7 versehen ist. Der konische Abschnitt 6 kann sich in unterschiedlich großen Bohrungen festklemmen.The formation of the end 2 of the device 1 is now important. The device 1 ends there in a
In einer vorteilhaften Ausführung der Vorrichtung 1 befindet sich vor dem konischen Abschnitt 6 noch ein zylindrischer Abschnitt 8, der als Führung beim Einsetzen des Bolzens 5 in eine Bohrung dient.In an advantageous embodiment of the device 1, there is also a cylindrical section 8 in front of the
Als besonders vorteilhaft hat sich die Verwendung eines zweigängigen Gewindes 7 mit einer Steigung von 3,5 mm erwiesen.The use of a two-start thread 7 with a pitch of 3.5 mm has proven to be particularly advantageous.
