Description

[Detailed description of the invention]

[0001]

[Technical field to which the invention belongs]

 The present invention relates to a ski lift for snowboards, and more particularly, to a snowboard lift that is easy for snowboarders with snowboards to get on and off.

[0002]

[Prior art]

 Traditionally, snowboarders use ski lifts because there is no lift for snowboarding. Regardless of the skier or snowboarder, if the skiing or snowboarding direction is not oriented straight toward the direction of the lift when the lift is getting on or off, the edges of the skiing or snowboarding may get caught and cause a fall. In the ski lift, as shown in FIG. 4, a seat A1 of a carrier A has a front edge A2 located at the front end in the lift traveling direction formed in a substantially straight line in a direction orthogonal to the lift traveling direction A '. When standing upright with the ski's running direction straight in the direction of lift, the body's orientation naturally became substantially parallel to the leading edge of the seat, so it was easy to get on and off. Also, when a snowboarder gets on or off the lift, only the front legs need to be attached to the snowboard in order to reach the boarding position of the lift. The front foot of the snowboarder is attached by binding so as to incline with respect to the gliding direction of the snowboard, for example, about 45 degrees in the case of freestyle and about 37 to 38 degrees in the case of alpine.

[0003]

[Problems to be solved by the device]

 Therefore, as shown by the solid line in FIG. 4, even if the snowboarders B ′ and B ″ direct the gliding directions C ′ and C ′ of the snowboards C 1 and C 3 straight toward the lift advancing direction A ′, the front legs B1 and B1 Due to the inclination of the insertion angle of B1, the orientations of the bodies B and B in the state of standing naturally did not become parallel to the front edge A2 of the seat A1 which is orthogonal to the lift traveling direction A ′. When a snowboarder B ', B "rides on a lift, the seat A1 which is orthogonal to the snowboard C, C with the sliding direction C', C'of the snowboard C, C still facing the lift advancing direction A ', as shown by the chain double-dashed line. It is necessary to twist the bodies B and B in a direction substantially parallel to the tip edge A2 of the robot, and a technic is required to turn around and confirm that the lift is coming. Transport when approaching While sitting on the bowl, it was necessary to have a technique in which one of the left and right hips was moved forward so that the body was tilted so that the gliding direction of the snowboard was straight in the direction of the lift. However, the techniques described above are mainly obtained by experience, and no beginners with little experience are naturally involved, and even if they are experienced, snowboarders will not be able to use other techniques, especially when riding a lift. If you are in a hurry due to factors such as being distracted by this, and if you forcibly change the direction of your body so that it is parallel to the front edge of the seat, which is orthogonal to the direction of travel of the lift, the sliding direction of the snowboard is inevitable. There is a problem that it tends to be inclined with respect to the traveling direction, and falls easily due to the edge being caught. Furthermore, even if you can get on the lift well, your body is diagonal to the edge of the seat, so you can easily drop from the seat because it is shallow, and you can sit down on the carrier while facing in a hurry when you get off the lift. Even if it is forcibly changed so that it is oblique to the front edge of the seat that is orthogonal to the direction of travel of the lift, the gliding direction of the snowboard is difficult to point straight in the direction of travel of the lift, and it is easy for a fall to occur due to an edge being caught. There is.

According to the first aspect of the present invention, the snowboarder can get on and off the lift without forcibly changing the body's direction in a natural posture with the snowboarder's gliding direction straight in the lift advancing direction. The purpose is to make it possible. The invention according to claim 2 is, in addition to the object of the invention according to claim 1, intended to prevent the handrail part from interfering with getting on and off the lift. Further, in addition to the object of the invention according to claim 1 or 2, the invention according to claim 3 is intended to be carried by the same carrier even for snowboarders having different stances.

[0005]

[Means for Solving the Problems]

 In order to achieve the above-mentioned object, a device according to claim 1 of the present invention is such that a seat of a carrier is provided with an inclined portion at a front edge located at a front end in a traveling direction of the lift, and the inclined portion is used for sliding a snowboard. Direction of the lift straight toward the lift advancing direction, so as to be approximately parallel to the body direction of the snowboarder when getting on and off the lift, the lift advancing direction goes toward one end orthogonal to the lift advancing direction of the above-mentioned leading edge. It is characterized in that it is formed so as to gradually retreat in the opposite direction and gradually protrude in the direction of lift movement as it goes to the center of the tip edge. According to a second aspect of the present invention, in addition to the structure of the first aspect, a pair of handrails is provided at both ends of the seat, and the front end portions of the handrails located at the front ends in the lift advancing direction are connected to the inclined portion. It is characterized by adding a configuration in which it is set back to the vicinity of the most set back edge part. According to a third aspect of the invention, in addition to the structure of the first or second aspect of the invention, a slope portion for a snowboarder of a regular stance is formed on one side orthogonal to the lift advancing direction of the leading edge and the leading edge is formed. It is characterized by adding a sloped part for the Goofy stance snowboarder to the other side.

[0006]

[Action]

 According to the first aspect of the present invention, the inclined portion is provided at the leading edge of the seat, so that the snowboarder only has to direct the gliding direction of the snowboard straight toward the lift traveling direction when riding the lift, and the body is naturally inclined. As they are almost parallel, the back sides of the knees of both feet are in contact with the slopes, respectively, and the rider is naturally seated along the slopes when he / she descends from the lift. It is one that faces straight. According to a second aspect of the present invention, in addition to the structure of the first aspect, a pair of handrails is provided at both ends of the seat, and the front end portions of the handrail portions located at the front ends in the traveling direction of the lift are the most of the inclined portions. The handrail part does not project in the direction of lift movement from the inclined part because a structure has been added in which the part is retracted close to the retracted edge part. Furthermore, the invention of claim 3 is different from the structure of claim 1 or 2 in that a slope portion for a snowboarder of a regular stance is formed on one side of the leading edge that is orthogonal to the lift traveling direction, and the leading edge is formed. Since we added a configuration in which the slope part 1 for the goofy stance snowboarder is formed on the other side of the, the regular stance snowboarder should stand on the extension line in the direction of lift movement of the slope part when riding the lift. By arranging the snowboarders of the stance on the extension lines of the inclined portions for the stance, the directions of the snowboarders having different stances become substantially parallel to the respective inclined portions.

[0007]

[Embodiment of the invention]

 Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. In this embodiment, as shown in FIG. 1 and FIG. 2, the seat A1 of the carrier A suspended from the rope R of the ski lift at a predetermined interval is for two persons, and the lift advancing direction A ' At the front edge A2 located at the front end, the front part B1 which is the axial foot is the left foot and the slope part 1 is exclusively for the snowboarder B'of the regular stance, and the front foot B1 is the slope for the snowboarder B "of the Goofestance, which is the right foot. A pair of the parts 1 is provided in the left-right direction that is orthogonal to the lift traveling direction A ′.

The inclined portion 1 is substantially parallel to the direction of the body B of the snowboarders B ′ and B ″ when the rider gets on and off the lift while standing naturally with the gliding direction C ′ of the snowboard C straight in the lift advancing direction A ′. As shown in FIG. 5, the tip edge A2 is gradually retracted in the direction opposite to the lift advancing direction A'as it goes to one end orthogonal to the lift advancing direction A ', and the lift advancing direction A is made toward the center of the tip edge A2. It is formed by gradually projecting to '.

The body B of the snowboarders B ′ and B ″ standing naturally when getting on and off the lift is oriented in the direction B of the lift, and the front foot B1 attached to the snowboard C which is straight in the gliding direction C ′. And the rear foot B2 that is not attached to the snowboard C. The snowboarders B ′ and B ″ are such that the front foot B1 is in the gliding direction C ′ of the snowboard C, that is, the lift advancing direction A ′. On the other hand, the snowboard C is fixed so that it is tilted at about 45 degrees in the case of a freestyle and about 37 to 38 degrees in the case of an alpine, so if there is no special consciousness, in most cases, take a lift. The rear foot B2 of time is placed on the snow surface behind the front foot B1 which is fixed as shown by the solid line in FIGS. 1 and 2, and in this state, the body B stands naturally. Is substantially parallel to the inclination angle of the straight line B3 connecting the front foot B1 and the rear foot B2. Further, the rear foot B2 when descending from the lift is fixed as shown by the one-dot chain line in FIGS. 1 and 2 in order to stand up by sliding the snowboard C while directing the chest in the lift advancing direction A '. The body B which is placed substantially parallel between the rear leg binding C1 and the rear leg binding C1 and stands naturally in this state is substantially parallel to the inclination angle of the straight line B3 or slightly sideways.

In the case of the illustrated example, an inclined portion 1 dedicated to a regular stance snowboarder B'is formed on the right side of the tip edge A2 in a direction substantially parallel to or slightly parallel to the inclination angle of the straight line B3. By forming the inclined portion 1 for exclusive use of the Goofance snowboarder B "on the left side of the tip edge A2, the left and right ends of the tip edge A2 are formed by being formed substantially parallel to or slightly lateral to the inclination angle of the straight line B3. As the part is moved back the most, the left and right central parts are projected most in the lift advancing direction A. Further, those inclined portions 1 and 1 are projected in the lift advancing direction A'as shown in FIG. 2 is formed into a substantially straight line, and is formed into a substantially straight line as shown in Fig. 2. In this case, in the middle of the passage leading to the landing of the ski lift, the space of the regular stance is formed. The exclusive boarding position is located on the extension line A'of the slope 1 dedicated to the no-boarder B'and the extension line A'extension line of the slope 1 dedicated to the snowboarder B "of Goofance. By providing a guide such as a signboard to guide the snowboarders B ', B "toward the exclusive boarding position, even if snowboarders B', B" with different stances enter side by side, Correctly separate to the dedicated boarding position to prevent troubles that make it difficult to sit down while standing in a different dedicated boarding position.

Further, a pair of left and right handrails 2 and 2 are provided at both left and right ends of the seat A1. These handrails 2 and 2 retreat the front end portions 2a and 2a located at the front end of the lift advancing direction A'to the vicinity of the most retreated edge portions 1a and 1a of the inclined portions 1 and 1, respectively.

Next, a description will be given of how to get on and off the ski lift for snowboarding. First, when riding a lift, as shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, by inserting only the front foot B1 into the snowboard C and skating, and in the case of a snowboarder B'having a regular stance, the seat A1 is guided by a guide such as a signboard. Lift the slope 1 on the right side to the exclusive boarding position on the extension line of the traveling direction A ', and stand straight with the sliding direction C'of the snowboard C in the traveling direction A'. In the case of the Goofance Snowboarder B ″, the signboard guides you to the exclusive boarding position on the extension line A ′ extension of the slope 1 formed on the left side of the seat A1 and the snowboard C running direction. Stand straight with C'in the direction A'of the lift.

As a result, the directions of the bodies B and B of these snowboarders B ′ and B ″ are substantially parallel to the inclined portions 1 and 1, respectively, and the lift is turned by turning the chest upward and backward. If the person sits down at the same timing while checking, the two sides of the snowboarders B ′, B ″, mainly the back side of the knee, come into contact with the inclined portions 1, 1, respectively. Therefore, the snowboarders B ′ and B ″ can sit deeply in the seat A1 without forcibly changing the directions of the bodies B and B, and at this time, the handrail parts 2 and 2 project forward from the inclined parts 1 and 1. Since it does not, the handrails 2 and 2 do not get in the way when getting on the lift.

After that, the snowboarders B ′ and B ″ slide the snowboards C and C as they are in the lift advancing direction A ′ and lift the rear legs B2 and B2 without the snowboards C and C attached so as not to drag them. Then, even if you are in a hurry due to inexperienced beginners or being distracted by other things when getting on and off the lift, you can easily get on the carrier A.

Then, even if the driver approaches the lift landing position as it is, the sliding directions C ′ and C ′ of the snowboards C and C are naturally lifted only by sitting down along the inclined portions 1 and 1. Since it faces straight in the direction of travel A ', there is no need to have a technique to move one of the left and right hips forward while sitting on the carrier A.

After arriving at the landing of the lift, the snowboarders B ′, B ″ raise the tips of the snowboards C, C while lowering the sliding surfaces of the snowboards C, C to the snow surface. Place your rear legs B2 and B2 between the front legs B1 and B1 and the rear leg bindings C1 and C1 and stand up while sliding snowboards C and C. Even if you are in a hurry due to being caught, you can easily get off the carrier A.

On the other hand, FIG. 3 shows another embodiment of the present invention, in which the seat A1 of the carrier A is for one passenger and is shown in FIG. 1 and FIG. The present embodiment is different from the embodiment shown in FIG. 1 in the other respects. The configuration is otherwise the same as the embodiment shown in FIGS. Specifically, on the right half of the front edge A2 of the seat A1, a slope portion 1 for a snowboarder B'of a regular stance is provided, which is substantially parallel to the inclination angle of a straight line B3 connecting the front foot B1 and the rear foot B2, or It is formed slightly more laterally in a bent shape or a substantially straight shape, and a slope portion 1 for a Goofance snowboarder B ″ is formed on the left half of the tip edge A2, and a straight line B3 connecting the front foot B1 and the rear foot B2. By forming it in a shape that is substantially parallel to, or slightly laterally bent, or substantially linear with the inclination angle of, the left and right end portions of the tip edge A2 are most retracted, and the left and right center portions of the tip edge A2 are the most lifted. In the illustrated example, the snowboarder B'in a regular stance shows the time of getting on and off the carrier A.

Therefore, when riding the lift, whether the snowboarder B ′ having the regular stance shown or the snowboarder having the goofy stance not shown, rides on the extension line A ′ of the lift advancing direction of the seat A1. Proceed to the position and stand straight with the gliding direction C'of the snowboard C facing straight toward the lift advancing direction A ', and the body B is oriented toward the slope 1 formed on the right half of the leading edge A2 or on the left side of the leading edge A2. It is naturally approximately parallel to the inclined portion 1 formed in half.

As a result, as shown in FIG. 3, both the regular stance snowboarder B ′ and the unillustrated Goofy stance snowboarder have to stand at the same riding position, as shown in FIGS. 1 and 2. As in the example, it is not necessary to guide and stand the snowboarders B ', B "having different stances to the respective dedicated riding positions, which is advantageous in that the snowboarder can easily guide the work.

Although the seat A1 of the carrier A has two seats for passengers and one seat for one passengers in the above-described embodiments, the present invention is not limited to this. The same applies to passengers and passengers of a higher size. For example, in the case of a three-seater, the tip edge A2 is divided into three parts in the left-right direction, and the slope portion 1 for the snowboarder B'of the regular stance is at the right end and the goofous stance is at the left end. The slopes 1 for snowboarders B'are formed respectively, and the slopes for snowboarders with the larger number of stances are formed in the center of the left and right, or snowboarders with either stance can be used for getting on and off. As described above, it is formed in a straight line in the left-right direction orthogonal to the lift traveling direction A ′.

Further, a slope portion 1 for a snowboarder B ′ having a regular stance is formed on the right side of the tip edge A2, and a slope portion 1 for a snowboarder B ″ of a goofy stance is formed on the left side of the tip edge A2. However, the present invention is not limited to this. On the contrary, the slope portion 1 for the Goofy stance snowboarder B ″ is formed on the right side of the tip edge A2, and the slope for the regular stance snowboarder B ′ is formed on the left side of the tip edge A2. By forming the portion 1, both left and right end portions of the tip edge A2 may be most protruded in the lift advancing direction A ′, and the left and right center portions may be most retracted. Further, the inclined portion 1 corresponding to only one of the regular stance snowboarder B'and the goofy stance snowborder B "may be formed over the entire tip edge A2.

[Effect of the invention]

 As described above, according to the first aspect of the present invention, the inclined portion is provided at the leading edge of the seat so that the snowboarder can straighten the sliding direction of the snowboard in the lift traveling direction when riding the lift. By doing so, the body's orientation naturally becomes substantially parallel to the slope, the backs of the knees of both feet mainly contact the slope, and when you step off the lift, you can simply sit along the slope and snowboard. Since the skiing direction of the snowboard straightens straight to the direction of the lift, the snowboarder can get on and off the lift in a natural posture with the snowboard's running direction straight to the direction of the lift. it can. Therefore, as compared to the conventional snowboarder in which the body direction when standing naturally and the leading edge of the seat orthogonal to the lift traveling direction were not parallel, the snowboard gliding direction was straightened in the lift traveling direction. In order to point it, there is no need for any technique to twist the body when riding the lift, or to move one of the left and right hips forward while sitting in the transporter when approaching the exit of the lift. Even if you are in a hurry due to people or other things being distracted when getting on or off the lift, you can prevent them from falling and you will be able to sit deeper in the seat, making it difficult to fall.

In addition to the effect of the invention of claim 1, since the handrail portion does not project in the lift advancing direction from the inclined portion, the handrail portion does not interfere with getting on and off the lift.

Further, in addition to the effects of the invention of claim 1 or 2, the invention of claim 3 makes a snowboarder of a regular stance stand on the extension line of the lift advancing direction of the inclined part for riding when riding a lift. , Standing the snowboarder of Goofy stance on the extension line of the lift direction of the inclined part for it, the direction of the snowboarder body with different stances becomes substantially parallel to the respective inclined parts, so that the stance differs. The same carrier can be used for snowboarders.
