Abstract

The invention relates to a disc golf basket (100) having a plurality of depending outer (10) and inner chains (11) each having upper ends (12) and lower ends (13), the upper ends (12) being secured by means of fasteners (10). 14) are connected to a chain suspension (101) and the lower ends (13) are either all connected to each other by a single closed ring (15) or the rows of chains separated by a closed ring. So that a flying disc does not fly out of the disc golf basket (100) in the event of a valid hit, according to the invention at least one additional chain (16) is positioned between the upper (12) and lower ends (13) of the chain (11) hanging from the inside selected chain link of several all around hanging inner chains (11) threaded through successively and connected together at both ends and forms such a closed circle, so in the case of at least two equally spaced at a distance such chains (16) together with the inner drooping chains (11) forming a net (103).

Mesh-like telescopic chain arrangement on disc golf baskets

The invention relates to a disc golf basket (100), comprising a central rod (1) having an upper end (2) and a lower end (3); a chain suspension (101) having a centrally disposed first sleeve (4) and a plurality of radially extending spokes (5) extending from the first sleeve (4) to the outer periphery (6), the chain suspension (101) via the first sleeve (10). 4) is mounted at the upper end (2) of the rod (1); a basket (102) having a centrally disposed second sleeve (7) and a plurality of radial spokes (8) and rings (9) mounted over the second sleeve (7) on the rod (1) below the chain suspension (101); a plurality of depending outer chains (10) and inner chains (11) each having upper ends (12) and lower ends (13), the upper ends (12) connected by fasteners (14) to the chain suspension (101) and the lower ones Ends (13) connected to each other by means of a closed ring (15) threaded.

Disc golf baskets are known, which have 2 to 3 rotationally symmetrical chain rows up to 20 individual chains, divisible into an outer chain row and inner chain row (s), all individual chains are suspended at their upper ends with fasteners and at the lower end to each other by 1 or 2 closed ring (s) are tightly grouped together. The upper chain suspension with the mounted and thus hanging chains forms together with a central reaching to the ground rod and a basket arranged under the chains the disc golf basket mentioned above.

Flies the thrown disc in the chains - hit the disc golf basket with the least possible throwing attempts so that the disc in the basket comes to rest is the goal in disc golf sport - the chains stop the disc in such a way that the entire kinetic energy of the disc is absorbed in the chains and the disc then falls down into the basket, wherein the vote of the safety catch system depend essentially on the number, the weight and the suspension positions of the chains. Since each individual chain acts independently of one another, it can sometimes occur that, in the case of an unfavorable, often somewhat laterally tilted, approach position of the disc, it penetrates the rows of chains without appreciable resistance, since the affected chains, acting only on their own, are unfavorably pushed to the side. If the direction of flight of the disc is central here, then as a result of a great deal of confusion, it will be possible to jump back to the outside of the basket above the edge of the basket underneath, which is a very undesirable situation, comparable to a ball at the ballgolf , which, once sunk in the hole, would jump out again. In the case of a non-central approach position, there may be occurrences that the disc finds unhindered a way through the rows of chains and fly out beyond the edge of the basket and thus also undesirable way does not find their way into the basket. In both cases, a supposedly successful final litter is thwarted by the described technical weaknesses.

It is therefore an object of the invention to eliminate the weaknesses described by clever arrangement of additional chains.

This object is achieved with a disc golf basket mentioned above in that at least 1 additional chain, positioned between the upper ends and lower ends of the inside drooping chains, threaded through one selected chain link of at least several all around hanging inner chains successively and at their two Ends is connected together and thus forms a closed circle, so that forms in the case of at least 2 in the same way at a distance from each other arranged such chains together with the inner chains hanging down a network. The catch quality of the Disc golf basket for centrally approaching discs is thus optimized so that this inner reticulated chain arrangement no penetration of the disc in the direction of the central rod allows more and thus an undesirable jump back the disc over the edge of the

In a variant of the invention, at least one additional chain has narrower individual chain links than the inner drooping chains, so that the relevant chain links of the inner chain hanging down, in which the additional chain is threaded through, are displaceable along it. As a result, the inner chains continue to maintain their mobility due to this mobility and thus cause a soft and thus safe catching for not centrally approaching flying discs. A side unwanted bouncing of the disc due to an otherwise too stiff network arrangement can be prevented.

In a further variant of the invention, at least one additional chain is suspended from a plurality of chain links of the inner chain hanging around each by means of a fastening element and fixed in order not to support this chain in the chain links of the inner chains hanging down. ι ρπρπ _ pnndprn npwpi 1 q 7ωί srhpn Hati

The invention will be explained in more detail below with reference to a non-limiting embodiment, which is illustrated in the figures. Show:

Figure 2 according to the invention additionally arranged chains mounted on the inner chain row, the outer chain row is not shown; and

Based on a standard disc golf basket 100 shown in Fig. 1, comprising a chain suspension 101 mounted at the upper end of the rod 1 with a plurality of radially extending spokes 5 extending from a central sleeve 4 to the outer circumferential chain row 10 and an inner drooping chain row 11, wherein all the chains of both rows of chains respectively at the upper ends 12 by means of fasteners 14 with the spokes 5 of the chain suspension 101 and at the lower ends 13 with each other by means of a scored Kinges io io-oG., ΘΙίΊΘΠ ηΟΓΟ iUZ mlu 61Γι6Γ ΣθηυΓαΙΘΓι 1ίίΙ_ί_3Θ Z f taula 1ΘΠ spokes 8 and rings 9, mounted on the rod 1 below the chain suspension 101, the inner chain row 11 is represented by at least 1 additional chain 16, as shown in Fig. 2, between the upper chain ends 12 and lower chain ends 13 of the Ke hanging down inside Positioned 11, each successively threaded through one selected chain link of several, preferably all around hanging inner chains 11 and connected to each other at both ends and so forms a closed circle, so that in the case of at least 2 in the same way at a distance from each other arranged such chains 16 together with the inner drooping chains 11, a network 103 is formed. This reticular arrangement of the chains optimizes the catch quality of the disc golf basket for centrally approaching discs, especially since the dreaded direct repelling the disc from the central rod 1 is avoided due to the low braking effect of the chains of a standard Disc golf basket.

The circulating chains 16 - threaded into the depending inner chains 11 - are to be arranged displaceably to each other, this is particularly well done by smaller-sized circumferential chains 16. In Fig. 3, this smaller dimensioned circumferential chain 16 dargestelit, the hanging inner chains 11 have somir Weirernin in the direction indicated by arrows lateral freedom of movement. With this invention, therefore, the quality of capture of not centrally approaching flying discs is obtained qualitatively due to the freedom of movement obtained.

In order to make the mobility still smoother, in a variant at least 1 revolving chain 16 can be suspended and fixed to a plurality of chain links of the inner all-around hanging chains 11 each by means of a fastener 17, not the circumferential chain 16 in the chain links of the inner hanging chains 11 rest continuously but let sag between each 2 fasteners.
