A figure unit for a sports game which includes a base cup, and the top of the cup is closed by a disc, and the figure of the unit stands on the disc. The disc is connected to the base cup by a spigot and socket element connection, and the connection is contained within the cup closed by the disc.
Description
1~77~77 1 This invention relates to figure units for sports games comprising a figure on a mounting which is of the type which tends to keep the figure upright so that the unit will be "self-righting" in the event that the unit is tilted from the upright position. Such units may be for use in sports games such as football, hockey, cricket or rugby in which case the figure will be a representation of a human figure, but the inven-tion also applies where the figure represents an inanimate object, such as a ball, wickets, and so on, the re~erences to "figure" in this specification and in the appended claims are to be construed accordingly.
The mountinqs of such units have usually comprised a generally saucer shape hollow base cup which is clos`ed by a disc, the disc carrying or being adapted to carry the figure. -In such arrangement, it is usual furthermore to include in the ~ase cup, a ballast weight which assists in keeping the unit upright.
There have been a number of proposals for connecting the disc to the base cup. Normally, the periphery of the disc simply is glued to the top of the base cup, but this suffers from a number of disadvantages. The glue and disc have to be applied manually, which is time consuming, and the use of glue can sometimes result in an unsightly finished article. One pro-posal for overcoming these difficulties is set out in our British Patent No. 1,334,133 in which it is proposed that the disc and cup be designed for snap fitting together. This arrange-ment can give rise to problems as the manufacturing tolerances are small, and there is the danger of the parts coming apart when the units are subjected to certain temperature conditions, as a result of which could cause expansion or contraction of the :1~77~7~
1 parts to such an extent that they come apart.
Most of the assembly of these mountings is done by hand, and the known arrangements for connecting base cup and disc do not lend themselves to automating the assembly process.
The present invention seeks to provide a means for the connecting together of the disc means and base cup, which is free from the aforesaid disadvantages, and which, at least in a preferred form lends itself to automating the assembly of disc means and base cup.
In accordance with the present invention there is provided a figure unit for a sports game comprising a figure mounted on a self righting mounting, said mounting comprising a base cup, the top of which is closed by disc means on the top side of which the figure stands, characterized in that the disc means is connected to the base cup by means o a spigot and socket element connection, of which one element is at the bottom of the cap and the other element is at the side of the disc means remote from the figure.
Preferably, the disc means is in two parts, namely a centre part and a peripheral part, the central part having said figure on one side and the spigot element on the other side, the socket element being at the base of the cap.
The socket element may extend upwards from the base and the peripheral part of the disc means may be provided with a holding sleeve which fits round the socket element when the disc means closes the base cup. In an alternative arrangement, there may be a spring sleeve for fitting round the socket element.
In a modified arrangement, the disc means is in one piece with the figure on one side and the spigot element on the other side.

-. : . .
1077~)77 1 Although it is preferred that the disc means ~e cir-cular and the base cup ~e of circular section, other configur-ations are possible within the scope of the present invention.
The disc means and base cup preferably are of plastics material, and conveniently there may also be a ballast weight for the mounting.
The socket element is preferably a bush formed inte-grally with the base cup and is axially split to define sections which can by the holding sleeve or tensioning means, be pre-vented from distorting excessively outwards. The ballast weight may suitably be a metal washer of appropriate si~e to be pushed over the bush. The spigot element and socket element may be held together by the frictional interfit therebetween and/or by means of adhesive positioned in the socket element.
Embodiments of the present invention will now be de-scribed, by way of example, with reference to the accompanying drawing, wherein:-Figure 1 is a perspective view of a base cup of a mounting according to the present invention;

Referring to the drawings, and first to Figure 1, in this drawing there is shown a base cup for a mounting of a figure unit of the type to which the invention relates. The base cup is moulded in plastics material in the configuration shown, which is of circular cross-section, and in the centre of the cup, which is referenced 10 in the drawing, there is provided a socket element 12 of a spigot and socket element connection which socket element connection which socket element extends upwardly from the central bottom region of the cup. The socket element is a bush of generally cylindrical form and has a chamfered top edge 14. The socket element is provided with axial slots 16 at 90 spaced locations so as to leave four socket element sections which can be distorted radially inwards or outwards together so as to narrow or enlarge the bore of the socket, at least at the top end thereof.
In Figure 2 there is shown a washer 18 which serves as a ballast weight for the base cup, and indeed the entire mounting, 1077()~7 1 as will be explained. In order to prevent distortion of the socket element sections outwardly after locating the washer 18 on the chamfered top edge 14, and pushing the washer 18 down-wardly until it reaches the seating ledge 20 ~Figure 4~ in the bottom of the base cup 10, the spring clip 19, which is a split, spring metal sleeve, is pushed over the socket element 12 until it reaches the position shown in Figure 4 in which it is wrapped round the outside of socket element 12 and bears on washer 18 keeping it in position.
10In order to complete the assembly the cup 10 is closed by the disc means 22 shown in Figure 3. On the bottom side, and in the central region thereof, the disc means 22 is provided with the spigot element 24 of the spigot and socket element - connection. Spigot element 24 is of cylindrical form, and has a chamfered end 26. On the top side, the disc means 22 is provided integrally with a figure 28, in this case a figure representing a model of a football player.
In fitting the disc means 22 to the base cup 10, the chamfered end 26 of spigot element 24 is located in the bore of the socket element 12, and then the disc 22 is simply pushed downwards, frictionally engaging in the socket element 12, until the disc seats on ledge 30 formed internally at the rim of the base cup 10. The spring clip 19 acts to prevent excessive out-wards distortion of the sections of socket element 12 and indeed acts to push the sections of socket element 12 into firm fric-tional engagement with the spigot element and this prevents accidental detachment of the base and disc means. Figure 4 shows the assembled unit of figure and mounting in sectional elevation, and it will be noticed that the spigot and socket elements are located internally of the mounting.
. -~077~77 1 By springingly holding the socket element 12, the spigot element 24 will become engaged therein with a much greater frictional force than it otherwise would be, were the spring clip l9 to be omitted. As a result, the disc means 22 can only su~sequently be removed with great difficulty, and as it is arranged that the disc means 22 should lie in the cup 10 so that its top surface is flush or under the top peripheral rim of the cup 10, then it is not possible to prise the disc means out of the cup using a screwdriver or the like instrument.
Figures 5 and 6 show another embodiment of the disc means and figure arrangement. In the embodiment of Figures 5 and 6, the disc means 22 is in two parts, namely a small central part 22A, and an annular peripheral part 22B. The bore in the part 22B is stepped as shown in Figure 6 at 32, and the central part 22A is adapted to seat on this ledge 32 in the assembled condition of the mounting, as shown in Figure 6. The spigot element 24 is provided on the underside of central part 22A, and the figure 28 is formed integrally with and on the upper side of the part 22A. Therefore, in the assembled condition shown in Figure 6 the frictional grip ~etween spigot element 24 and socket element 12 effects the connection between the centre part 22A of the disc 22 and the base cup lO and as the centre part 22A seats on ledge 32, this frictional engagement also ensures the holding in position of the outer annular part 22B of the disc 22. Clip 19 is provided as in the Figure 4 arrangement, as shown in Figure 6, for the purpose as described.
Referring now to Figures 8 to lO of the drawings, the base cup llO shown in Figure 8 is basically the same as that shown in Figure 1, except for a few exceptions. The socket element 112 again has axial slots 116 at 90 spaced locations so 1077~77 1 as to leave four socket element sections which are squared off at the top instead of having chamfer 14 and which can be dis-tortedradially inwards or outwards together so as to narrow or enlarge the bore of the socket element, at least at the top and end thereof. In addition, each socket element section is provided with an axial location rib 116A for the location of a washer similar to washer 18 shown in Figure 2.
After locating the washer 18 over the socket element 116, the washer 18 is pushed downwardly until it reaches the seating ledge 120 (Figure 10) in the bottom of the base cup 110, so that its central aperture engages the ribs 116A.
In order to complete the assembly, the cup 110 is closed by a disc means 122 which is in two parts, namely a small central part 122A, and an annular peripheral part 122B. At the top side thereof, the bore in the part 122B is stepped as shown in Figure 10 at 132, and the central p~rt 122A is adapted to seat on this ledge 132 in the assembled condition of the mounting, as shown in Figure 10.
The spigot element 124 is provided on the underside (as shown in Figure 9) of central part 122A and a figure 128 is formed integrally with and on the upper side of the part 122A
similar to the arrangement of Figures 5 and 6. On the underside of the peripheral part 122B there is an integral holding sleeve 126, which is adapted to engage the outside of the top of the socket element 112 in the assembled condition. In order to assemble the mounting, the peripheral part 122B is pressed into the position shown in Figure 10, in which the sleeve 126 engages over the top of socket element 112 in order to hold the tops of the sections of the socket element 112 in position. Next, the central part 122A is pushed into the position shown in Figure 10, . . ~
107~77 1 a suitable tool being used if desired. The spigot element 124 firmly and fictionally engages in the socket element 112. The sleeve 126 may either push the tops of the sections of socket element 112 inwardly or may simply prevent the section tops from moving outwardly as the spigot element 124 engages in the socket, but in any event the sleeve improves the maintenance of the frictional grip between the socket element and spigot element when the mounting i5 assembled. Therefore, in the assembled condition shown in Figure 4, the frictional grip between spigot element 124 and socket element 112 effects the connection between the centre part 122A of the disc 122 and the base cup 110 and as the centre part 122A seats on ledge 132, this frictional engagement also ensures the holding in position of the outer annular part 122B of the disc 122. The holding together of the spigot element 124 and socket element 112 may be assisted by means of adhesive in the socket element 112.
In another embodiment, the figure is not formed integrally with the disc means, but the disc is otherwise adapted to accept a figure. The figure may simply be glued to the disc means, but it is unlikely that this will be considered the best method of mounting the figure, as it may be liable to ready detachment in use.
In the embodiments described the connection between the spigot element and socket element is described as being by frictional engagement. This may be assisted by means of adhesive, or alternatively the spigot element may be a loose fit in the socket element and the connection between socket and spigot element may be by means of adhesive in the socket. Although the socket element in the embodiments is illustrated in the drawings as being in split bush, it may be a hole formed in the :,: , -- . : . .
1077~77 1 bottom of the cup, where such cup is moulded with a thickened bottom.
The assembled units, for example as shown in Figure 4, Figure 6 and Figure 10 are for use in a table football game, and the method of play involves the flicking of the units over a playing surface. The ballast weight 18, combined with the particular shape of the ~ase cup shown, has the effect of tending to return the unit to the upright position. In other words, the units tend to be self-righting.
With the exception of the metal weight 18, and spring clip 19 it is preferred that all of the other components be moulded in plastics material.
..
The mountinqs of such units have usually comprised a generally saucer shape hollow base cup which is clos`ed by a disc, the disc carrying or being adapted to carry the figure. -In such arrangement, it is usual furthermore to include in the ~ase cup, a ballast weight which assists in keeping the unit upright.
There have been a number of proposals for connecting the disc to the base cup. Normally, the periphery of the disc simply is glued to the top of the base cup, but this suffers from a number of disadvantages. The glue and disc have to be applied manually, which is time consuming, and the use of glue can sometimes result in an unsightly finished article. One pro-posal for overcoming these difficulties is set out in our British Patent No. 1,334,133 in which it is proposed that the disc and cup be designed for snap fitting together. This arrange-ment can give rise to problems as the manufacturing tolerances are small, and there is the danger of the parts coming apart when the units are subjected to certain temperature conditions, as a result of which could cause expansion or contraction of the :1~77~7~
1 parts to such an extent that they come apart.
Most of the assembly of these mountings is done by hand, and the known arrangements for connecting base cup and disc do not lend themselves to automating the assembly process.
The present invention seeks to provide a means for the connecting together of the disc means and base cup, which is free from the aforesaid disadvantages, and which, at least in a preferred form lends itself to automating the assembly of disc means and base cup.
In accordance with the present invention there is provided a figure unit for a sports game comprising a figure mounted on a self righting mounting, said mounting comprising a base cup, the top of which is closed by disc means on the top side of which the figure stands, characterized in that the disc means is connected to the base cup by means o a spigot and socket element connection, of which one element is at the bottom of the cap and the other element is at the side of the disc means remote from the figure.
Preferably, the disc means is in two parts, namely a centre part and a peripheral part, the central part having said figure on one side and the spigot element on the other side, the socket element being at the base of the cap.
The socket element may extend upwards from the base and the peripheral part of the disc means may be provided with a holding sleeve which fits round the socket element when the disc means closes the base cup. In an alternative arrangement, there may be a spring sleeve for fitting round the socket element.
In a modified arrangement, the disc means is in one piece with the figure on one side and the spigot element on the other side.

Referring to the drawings, and first to Figure 1, in this drawing there is shown a base cup for a mounting of a figure unit of the type to which the invention relates. The base cup is moulded in plastics material in the configuration shown, which is of circular cross-section, and in the centre of the cup, which is referenced 10 in the drawing, there is provided a socket element 12 of a spigot and socket element connection which socket element connection which socket element extends upwardly from the central bottom region of the cup. The socket element is a bush of generally cylindrical form and has a chamfered top edge 14. The socket element is provided with axial slots 16 at 90 spaced locations so as to leave four socket element sections which can be distorted radially inwards or outwards together so as to narrow or enlarge the bore of the socket, at least at the top end thereof.
In Figure 2 there is shown a washer 18 which serves as a ballast weight for the base cup, and indeed the entire mounting, 1077()~7 1 as will be explained. In order to prevent distortion of the socket element sections outwardly after locating the washer 18 on the chamfered top edge 14, and pushing the washer 18 down-wardly until it reaches the seating ledge 20 ~Figure 4~ in the bottom of the base cup 10, the spring clip 19, which is a split, spring metal sleeve, is pushed over the socket element 12 until it reaches the position shown in Figure 4 in which it is wrapped round the outside of socket element 12 and bears on washer 18 keeping it in position.
10In order to complete the assembly the cup 10 is closed by the disc means 22 shown in Figure 3. On the bottom side, and in the central region thereof, the disc means 22 is provided with the spigot element 24 of the spigot and socket element - connection. Spigot element 24 is of cylindrical form, and has a chamfered end 26. On the top side, the disc means 22 is provided integrally with a figure 28, in this case a figure representing a model of a football player.
In fitting the disc means 22 to the base cup 10, the chamfered end 26 of spigot element 24 is located in the bore of the socket element 12, and then the disc 22 is simply pushed downwards, frictionally engaging in the socket element 12, until the disc seats on ledge 30 formed internally at the rim of the base cup 10. The spring clip 19 acts to prevent excessive out-wards distortion of the sections of socket element 12 and indeed acts to push the sections of socket element 12 into firm fric-tional engagement with the spigot element and this prevents accidental detachment of the base and disc means. Figure 4 shows the assembled unit of figure and mounting in sectional elevation, and it will be noticed that the spigot and socket elements are located internally of the mounting.
. -~077~77 1 By springingly holding the socket element 12, the spigot element 24 will become engaged therein with a much greater frictional force than it otherwise would be, were the spring clip l9 to be omitted. As a result, the disc means 22 can only su~sequently be removed with great difficulty, and as it is arranged that the disc means 22 should lie in the cup 10 so that its top surface is flush or under the top peripheral rim of the cup 10, then it is not possible to prise the disc means out of the cup using a screwdriver or the like instrument.
Figures 5 and 6 show another embodiment of the disc means and figure arrangement. In the embodiment of Figures 5 and 6, the disc means 22 is in two parts, namely a small central part 22A, and an annular peripheral part 22B. The bore in the part 22B is stepped as shown in Figure 6 at 32, and the central part 22A is adapted to seat on this ledge 32 in the assembled condition of the mounting, as shown in Figure 6. The spigot element 24 is provided on the underside of central part 22A, and the figure 28 is formed integrally with and on the upper side of the part 22A. Therefore, in the assembled condition shown in Figure 6 the frictional grip ~etween spigot element 24 and socket element 12 effects the connection between the centre part 22A of the disc 22 and the base cup lO and as the centre part 22A seats on ledge 32, this frictional engagement also ensures the holding in position of the outer annular part 22B of the disc 22. Clip 19 is provided as in the Figure 4 arrangement, as shown in Figure 6, for the purpose as described.
Referring now to Figures 8 to lO of the drawings, the base cup llO shown in Figure 8 is basically the same as that shown in Figure 1, except for a few exceptions. The socket element 112 again has axial slots 116 at 90 spaced locations so 1077~77 1 as to leave four socket element sections which are squared off at the top instead of having chamfer 14 and which can be dis-tortedradially inwards or outwards together so as to narrow or enlarge the bore of the socket element, at least at the top and end thereof. In addition, each socket element section is provided with an axial location rib 116A for the location of a washer similar to washer 18 shown in Figure 2.
After locating the washer 18 over the socket element 116, the washer 18 is pushed downwardly until it reaches the seating ledge 120 (Figure 10) in the bottom of the base cup 110, so that its central aperture engages the ribs 116A.
In order to complete the assembly, the cup 110 is closed by a disc means 122 which is in two parts, namely a small central part 122A, and an annular peripheral part 122B. At the top side thereof, the bore in the part 122B is stepped as shown in Figure 10 at 132, and the central p~rt 122A is adapted to seat on this ledge 132 in the assembled condition of the mounting, as shown in Figure 10.
The spigot element 124 is provided on the underside (as shown in Figure 9) of central part 122A and a figure 128 is formed integrally with and on the upper side of the part 122A
similar to the arrangement of Figures 5 and 6. On the underside of the peripheral part 122B there is an integral holding sleeve 126, which is adapted to engage the outside of the top of the socket element 112 in the assembled condition. In order to assemble the mounting, the peripheral part 122B is pressed into the position shown in Figure 10, in which the sleeve 126 engages over the top of socket element 112 in order to hold the tops of the sections of the socket element 112 in position. Next, the central part 122A is pushed into the position shown in Figure 10, . . ~
107~77 1 a suitable tool being used if desired. The spigot element 124 firmly and fictionally engages in the socket element 112. The sleeve 126 may either push the tops of the sections of socket element 112 inwardly or may simply prevent the section tops from moving outwardly as the spigot element 124 engages in the socket, but in any event the sleeve improves the maintenance of the frictional grip between the socket element and spigot element when the mounting i5 assembled. Therefore, in the assembled condition shown in Figure 4, the frictional grip between spigot element 124 and socket element 112 effects the connection between the centre part 122A of the disc 122 and the base cup 110 and as the centre part 122A seats on ledge 132, this frictional engagement also ensures the holding in position of the outer annular part 122B of the disc 122. The holding together of the spigot element 124 and socket element 112 may be assisted by means of adhesive in the socket element 112.
In another embodiment, the figure is not formed integrally with the disc means, but the disc is otherwise adapted to accept a figure. The figure may simply be glued to the disc means, but it is unlikely that this will be considered the best method of mounting the figure, as it may be liable to ready detachment in use.
In the embodiments described the connection between the spigot element and socket element is described as being by frictional engagement. This may be assisted by means of adhesive, or alternatively the spigot element may be a loose fit in the socket element and the connection between socket and spigot element may be by means of adhesive in the socket. Although the socket element in the embodiments is illustrated in the drawings as being in split bush, it may be a hole formed in the :,: , -- . : . .
1077~77 1 bottom of the cup, where such cup is moulded with a thickened bottom.
The assembled units, for example as shown in Figure 4, Figure 6 and Figure 10 are for use in a table football game, and the method of play involves the flicking of the units over a playing surface. The ballast weight 18, combined with the particular shape of the ~ase cup shown, has the effect of tending to return the unit to the upright position. In other words, the units tend to be self-righting.
With the exception of the metal weight 18, and spring clip 19 it is preferred that all of the other components be moulded in plastics material.
