Arrangement for preventing and protecting calf bites while rowing boat

Abstract

The invention discloses an arrangement for preventing and protecting of calf bites during rowing boat including a slide endcap and a slide rail. Rowing boat “Calf Bites” are abrasions or cuts on the calves caused by the repetitive impact with the metal tracks of the boat's slide during the rowing stroke. The slide endcap of the present invention is prepared by three-dimensional printing and which is designed innovatively to protect the user and prevent calf-bites during boat rowing. The slide endcap provides flexibility to absorb impact during the rowing. The invention further discloses a rowing boat with a user having an arrangement for preventing and protecting of calf bites during rowing boat.

We claim: 
     
         1 . An arrangement ( 200 ) for preventing and protecting of calf bites during rowing boat comprising:
 A slide endcap ( 100 ) and a slide rail ( 202 );   Wherein the said slide endcap ( 100 ) comprises an impact face ( 102 ) on the front side; a reinforced area ( 104 ) on the top; a flange guard ( 106 ) on one side of the said slide endcap ( 100 );   Wherein the said reinforced area ( 104 ) comprises a screw holder ( 108 );   Wherein the said slide rail ( 202 ) is attached with the said slide endcap ( 100 ) using a screw thru the said screw holder ( 108 ).   
     
     
         2 . The arrangement ( 200 ) for preventing and protecting of calf bites during rowing boat according to the  claim 1 , wherein said slide endcap ( 100 ) is prepared either by three-dimensional printing or by molding process. 
     
     
         3 . The arrangement ( 200 ) for preventing and protecting of calf bites during rowing boat according to  claim 1 , wherein said slide endcap ( 100 ) is made up from polyethylene terephthalate (PET), polylactic acid (PLA) or Thermoplastic Polyurethane (TPU). 
     
     
         4 . The arrangement ( 200 ) for preventing and protecting of calf bites during rowing boat according to  claim 3 , wherein said slide endcap ( 100 ) is made up Thermoplastic Polyurethane (TPU). 
     
     
         5 . A rowing boat ( 310 ) having an arrangement ( 200 ) for preventing and protecting of calf bites during rowing boat comprising: a slide endcap ( 100 ) and a slide rail ( 202 ); Wherein the said slide endcap ( 100 ) comprises an impact face ( 102 ) on the front side; a reinforced area ( 104 ) on the top; a flange guard ( 106 ) on one side of the said slide endcap ( 100 ); Wherein the said reinforced area ( 104 ) comprises a screw holder ( 108 ); Wherein the said slide rail ( 202 ) is attached with the said slide endcap ( 100 ) using a screw thru the said screw holder ( 108 ); and
 a track ( 302 );   Wherein said track ( 302 ) is configured to slide on the said slide rail.
