Definitions
- the invention which is the subject of patent 86 07023 relates to an inground pit device, intended for high level gymnastics for the learning of perilous exercises, allowing the reception of gymnasts evolving on gymnastic apparatus placed on the edge. or above the pit, thus reducing the risks during certain falls.
- the pit is composed in its upper part, at ground level, either of a fitted mattress resting on a net, or of a tarpaulin, all covered with very soft, elastic, slippery fabric and classified as fireproof. Straddling the mattress or tarpaulin, there is a waterproof peripheral flap fixed by sewing, welding or gluing or by a simple metal or plastic joint.
- the net is held by bungee cords or a spring system with a safety rope, which are fixed around the pit at ground level using anchors.
- the object of the invention is to improve this device.
- Figure 1 shows an exploded view of the elements constituting the pit and Figure 2 shows a section of the assembled elements.
- Part 5 of the concrete has a slight drop relative to part 6 of the concrete, this in order to facilitate assembly.
- This drop in the thickness of the profile (about 2 cm) is however not compulsory.
- the foam 7 of low hardness index (flexible) and having between 5 and 15 cm of thickness, is posed directly on the safety net, without intermediate protective fabric, this which has the effect of lightening the whole, and giving increased flexibility to the gymnast.
- the fact of eliminating the intermediate fabric represents several advantages: saving of raw material, saving of time for the fitters, and saving of weight for the whole of the pit.
- the fact of lightening the reception surface makes it possible to reduce the force of inertia at the time of the fall of the gym ⁇ naste, which results in greater flexibility and increases the possibility of damping at the precise point of contact.
- Part 7 represents the useful reception area for gymnasts.
- the concrete edge 5 will measure 250 mm
- the peripheral foam 8 will measure 500 mm (half on concrete, half on bungee cords and pigtails) and the foam 7 covering the entire surface of the medium, will be 3000 mm in width.
- peripheral foam 8 of high hardness index (firm) and of the same thickness as the foam 7 is reinforced on the underside by a fabric 9 glued over approximately two thirds of the width, the non-glued part being on the beveled side (only- for the aesthetics of the whole) and slightly protruding.
- This foam 8 will be glued or loose and placed astride the concrete part 5 and on the pigtail and san ⁇ dows part (approximately up to the point where the bungee cords meet the net) thus protecting the gymnast from the hardness of passing pigtail and closing the gaps between the bungee cords.
- the purpose of the fabric tab 9 projecting from the soft edge 8 is, in the case where this said edge 8 is not glued to the surface 5, to be positioned below the female profile 10 when it is fixed to the ground by screwing, by "spiting", in order to be permanently secured.
- the flexible and fire-rated canvas 11 covers all of the foam 7 and the peripheral edge 8 and will slightly stretched then definitively clipped into the groove of the female profile 10 by the male profile 12.
- FIG 3 shows the detail of the female 10 and male 12 sections made of semi-rigid material (plastic or composite material, or any other material).
- the size of the notches and the robustness of the profile have been calculated so as to be able to wedge between the notches of the male and female profiles the fabric 11; this clipping having a mechanical tensile strength equal to that of a conventional fastening such as screwing, joint cover, etc.
