Description
i i GUARD DEVICE FOR A GOAL
This invention relates to a guard device for a goal, and more particularly, to a guard device for a goal, which permits an efficient practice or game by defending the goal and permitting a player to shoot at that goal and score.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
Many different games provide for scoring by putting an object into a goal. Typically, that goal has a frame and a net. Such games include, but are not limited to, hockey, water polo, soccer, field hockey, and lacrosse. With those games, a goalie is a very important position.
Sometimes, a goalie is hard to find, especially for practice situations. To that end, many devices are known to provide protection for the goal and permit scoring practice for the remaining members of the team. However, none of these devices provide a good practice system.
Practice, to be effective, must closely simulate game conditions. If the device is struck without scoring, there is a great advantage to having the rebound off the goal simulate game conditions.
This is especially true in a hockey game or practice.
Many goals in hockey are scored on a rebound of the puck off Page 1 of 21 I i of the goalie or the net post.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
Among the many objectives of this invention is the provision of a guard device for a goal in a game, which uses a goal.
A further objective of this invention is the provision of a guard device for a goal, which stimulates game conditions.
Yet a further objective of this invention is the provision of a guard device for a goal, which assists in scoring practice.
A still further objective of this invention is the provision of a guard device for a goal, which is easily installed.
These and other objectives of the invention (which other objectives become clear by consideration of the specification, claims and drawings as a whole) are met by providing a guard device for a goal, which can be easily attached to the goal, shaped to provide simulated rebound circumstances and has apertures to provide scoring opportunities.

Throughout the figures of the drawings, where the same part appears in more than one figure of the drawings, the same number is applied thereto.
DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS
1~ In accordance with the present invention, a temporary protective guard device for a goal is designed to attach to the desired goal. A shaped surface for the guard device for a goal provides a variety of rebounds when the hockey puck or other device strikes the goal. Within the guard device, are a series of apertures, which are slightly larger than the goal scoring device. In ice hockey, the scoring device is a puck.
In soccer and most other games using a goal, the scoring Page 3 of 21 i ~ I it device is a ball.
In each game, the guard device for the goal has a surface shape similar to that of a human figure playing goalie. For a hockey game, the surface of the guard device for a goal is that on the typical hockey goalie in full gear. There are four corner apertures and various other apertures. When the puck goes through an aperture, a score, that is to say a goal, is made. By molding the sheet to the shape of the goalie, once the ball or puck hits another part of the surface, the rebound is very similar to game conditions, because of the shape of the body and the pads.
Appropriate adjustments are made for soccer, water polo, lacrosse, field hockey, or other desired game having a goal.
The surface shape assumes the goalie is present.
Whichever goal is present, the guard device for a goal includes fastening devices, which permit easy attachment of that device to the goal. The fastening devices may include snap devices, elastic cord devices, rope devices, and combinations thereof.
Referring now to Figure 1, generic guard device for the goal 100 has a sheet fastening device 110 adapted to secure the guard device for the goal 100 to the desired goal 102.
Page 4 of 21 I i Clearly goal 102 is the scoring goal of any game using a goal for scoring. Generic guard device for the goal 100 includes aperture caps 102, each which releasably blocks goal apertures 104 using cap fasteners 106, which secure each aperture 104 with an aperture cap 102 by a snap mechanism. As many aperture caps 102 as desired may be removed to provide as many goal apertures 104 as desired. That number is determined every time the guard device for the goal 100 is used.
Sheet fastening device 110 and cap fastener 106 are any suitable device capable of holding the required parts in the desired position. Such a fastening device 110 can be a hook and loop assembly, the snap fit or other suitable device. The snap fit device appears to be the most suitable. A standard hook and loop assembly is available under the registered trademark VELCRO, owned by Velcro Industries B.V. LIMITED
LIABILITY COMPANY NETHERLANDS Castorweg 22-24 Curacao NETHERLANDS ANTILLES.
Any suitable fastening device 110 may be used to secure generic guard device 100 for a desired goal 102 or hockey guard device 130 for a hockey goal 134 to the required goal.
A ball and bungee cord system may be used because it~is easily adaptable to the different sized posts of the various types of Page 5 of 21 ,, soccer goals. Nuts and bolts, rope, or other fastening devices may also be used.
Furthermore, the generic guard device 100 may be divided into a first section 112, a second section 114, a third section 116 and a fourth section 118. Such sections are joined or separated by appropriate use of a section fastening device 120. The section fastening device 120 can be a snap fit mechanism, a nut and bolt device, a hook and loop assembly, or other desired fastening device.
Turning now to Figure 2 and Figure 3; a hockey guard device 130 has a rigid plastic sheet 132 of sufficient size to cover an ice hockey goal 134. Within the surface of the plastic sheet 132 is an image shaped therein having more or less the shape of an ice hockey goalie 136 in full gear. The ice hockey goalie 136 has the face mask 138, leg pads 140, glove 142, and other items. These and other items of equipment for an ice hockey goalie 136 are molded right into the surface 144 of rigid sheet 132.
Within rigid plastic sheet 132 are puck apertures 146 as desired. Each puck aperture 146 may be closed by a puck cover 148. With a puck cover 148 in place, the aperture 146 is not available for scoring. With puck cover 148 removed, Page 6 of 21 n w, I Ir the aperture 146 is available for scoring. In this fashion, various scoring challenges can be set up, depending on what type of practice is desired.
Rigid plastic sheet 132 has edge fasteners 150 capable of snap fitting onto frame 152 of hockey_goal 154. Furthermore, puck aperture 146 may have a puck cover 148 snap fitted thereon. This snap fitted device 150 is the most efficient way of securing and removing puck cover 148. Other factors may also be used to secure the rigid plastic sheet 132.
Figure 3, Figure 4 and Figure 5 also depicts the use of rigid plastic sheet 132 in the first section 112, the second section 114, the third section 116 and the fourth section 118 used in the application to a hockey goal 134. Such a structure eases the shipping requirements of the hockey guard device 130.
Referring now to Figure 4, the hockey guard device 130 depicts not only a rear perspective thereof, but also various other advantages. For example, over one or more of the puck apertures 146, may be placed a net 162. Within the net 162, may be a net aperture 164 of sufficient size to permit a puck to pass therethrough. So when a puck hits the net 162, and does not make it through the net aperture 164, a goal is not Page 7 of 21 r. . I n -scored and a save is made.
With Figure 5, the hockey guard device 130 can be separated into four pieces for shipment. Once the hockey guard device 130 reaches the desired destination, the first piece 170 is secured to the second piece 172 followed by securing of the third piece 174 and the fourth piece 176.
This is accomplished by a wing nut 178 and bolt 180, securing matching sheet bolt apertures 182 of different pieces together. If desired a coupling plate 184 with coupling apertures 186 may be used with wing nut 178 and bolt 180, for a sturdier joining mechanism.
This application -- taken as a whole with the abstract, specification, claims, and drawings being combined -- provides sufficient information for a person having ordinary skill in the art to practice the invention as disclosed and claimed herein. Any measures necessary to practice this invention are well within the skill of a person having ordinary skill in this art after that person has made a careful study of this disclosure.

1~ In accordance with the present invention, a temporary protective guard device for a goal is designed to attach to the desired goal. A shaped surface for the guard device for a goal provides a variety of rebounds when the hockey puck or other device strikes the goal. Within the guard device, are a series of apertures, which are slightly larger than the goal scoring device. In ice hockey, the scoring device is a puck.

The surface shape assumes the goalie is present.
Whichever goal is present, the guard device for a goal includes fastening devices, which permit easy attachment of that device to the goal. The fastening devices may include snap devices, elastic cord devices, rope devices, and combinations thereof.
Referring now to Figure 1, generic guard device for the goal 100 has a sheet fastening device 110 adapted to secure the guard device for the goal 100 to the desired goal 102.
Page 4 of 21 I i Clearly goal 102 is the scoring goal of any game using a goal for scoring. Generic guard device for the goal 100 includes aperture caps 102, each which releasably blocks goal apertures 104 using cap fasteners 106, which secure each aperture 104 with an aperture cap 102 by a snap mechanism. As many aperture caps 102 as desired may be removed to provide as many goal apertures 104 as desired. That number is determined every time the guard device for the goal 100 is used.
Sheet fastening device 110 and cap fastener 106 are any suitable device capable of holding the required parts in the desired position. Such a fastening device 110 can be a hook and loop assembly, the snap fit or other suitable device. The snap fit device appears to be the most suitable. A standard hook and loop assembly is available under the registered trademark VELCRO, owned by Velcro Industries B.V. LIMITED
LIABILITY COMPANY NETHERLANDS Castorweg 22-24 Curacao NETHERLANDS ANTILLES.
Any suitable fastening device 110 may be used to secure generic guard device 100 for a desired goal 102 or hockey guard device 130 for a hockey goal 134 to the required goal.
A ball and bungee cord system may be used because it~is easily adaptable to the different sized posts of the various types of Page 5 of 21 ,, soccer goals. Nuts and bolts, rope, or other fastening devices may also be used.
Furthermore, the generic guard device 100 may be divided into a first section 112, a second section 114, a third section 116 and a fourth section 118. Such sections are joined or separated by appropriate use of a section fastening device 120. The section fastening device 120 can be a snap fit mechanism, a nut and bolt device, a hook and loop assembly, or other desired fastening device.
Turning now to Figure 2 and Figure 3; a hockey guard device 130 has a rigid plastic sheet 132 of sufficient size to cover an ice hockey goal 134. Within the surface of the plastic sheet 132 is an image shaped therein having more or less the shape of an ice hockey goalie 136 in full gear. The ice hockey goalie 136 has the face mask 138, leg pads 140, glove 142, and other items. These and other items of equipment for an ice hockey goalie 136 are molded right into the surface 144 of rigid sheet 132.
Within rigid plastic sheet 132 are puck apertures 146 as desired. Each puck aperture 146 may be closed by a puck cover 148. With a puck cover 148 in place, the aperture 146 is not available for scoring. With puck cover 148 removed, Page 6 of 21 n w, I Ir the aperture 146 is available for scoring. In this fashion, various scoring challenges can be set up, depending on what type of practice is desired.
Rigid plastic sheet 132 has edge fasteners 150 capable of snap fitting onto frame 152 of hockey_goal 154. Furthermore, puck aperture 146 may have a puck cover 148 snap fitted thereon. This snap fitted device 150 is the most efficient way of securing and removing puck cover 148. Other factors may also be used to secure the rigid plastic sheet 132.
Figure 3, Figure 4 and Figure 5 also depicts the use of rigid plastic sheet 132 in the first section 112, the second section 114, the third section 116 and the fourth section 118 used in the application to a hockey goal 134. Such a structure eases the shipping requirements of the hockey guard device 130.
Referring now to Figure 4, the hockey guard device 130 depicts not only a rear perspective thereof, but also various other advantages. For example, over one or more of the puck apertures 146, may be placed a net 162. Within the net 162, may be a net aperture 164 of sufficient size to permit a puck to pass therethrough. So when a puck hits the net 162, and does not make it through the net aperture 164, a goal is not Page 7 of 21 r. . I n -scored and a save is made.
With Figure 5, the hockey guard device 130 can be separated into four pieces for shipment. Once the hockey guard device 130 reaches the desired destination, the first piece 170 is secured to the second piece 172 followed by securing of the third piece 174 and the fourth piece 176.
This is accomplished by a wing nut 178 and bolt 180, securing matching sheet bolt apertures 182 of different pieces together. If desired a coupling plate 184 with coupling apertures 186 may be used with wing nut 178 and bolt 180, for a sturdier joining mechanism.
