Description

Ballon de jeu à multiple usage Domaine de l'invention La présente invention concerne les jeux de ballon, en particulier le basket-ball et le football. Elle concerne plus précisément les ballons utilisés dans ces jeux.
Etat de la technique Un jeu de ballon tel que le basketball, le volleyball, le football ou le handball, se caractérise notamment par un ballon dont les dimensions, la forme, la matière et la structure sont adaptées au jeu pour lequel il est destiné.
Un ballon de football, de volleyball ou de handball présente en général une surface externe lisse.
Inversement, la surface d'un ballon de basketball est plutôt rugueuse. La rugosité
améliore l'adhérence du ballon à la main, ce qui est important car les dimensions d'un ballon de basketball sont telles qu'il ne peut être tenu dans une main aussi aisément qu'un ballon de handball.
Un problème observé avec les ballons de l'état de la technique réside dans le fait qu'ils ne sont pas adaptés à des usages multiples. Pour jouer efficacement au football l'usage d'un ballon spécifique est préféré. On peut certes utiliser un ballon de football pour la pratique d'un autre jeu comme le basketball mais dans ce cas le ballon n'est pas aussi efficace qu'un ballon de basketball dont la structure de surface, le poids et les dimensions sont spécifiquement conçues pour ce jeu.
Ce problème est encore plus marqué lors de la pratique de jeux dans lesquels le ballon est à la fois utilisé avec les pieds et les mains.
Il existe donc un besoin de remédier aux problèmes précités.

Description générale de l'invention Un but de l'invention consiste à offrir un seul et unique ballon destiné à au moins deux usages, à l'instar du jeu FooBaSKlLLTM.
Un autre but de l'invention consiste à offrir un ballon qui conserve les avantages offerts par les ballons de l'état de la technique, notamment au niveau de l'adhérence du ballon à la main et au pied.
Un autre but de l'invention consiste à offrir un ballon à multiple usage qui préserve les sensations tactiles obtenues avec les ballons de l'état de la technique.
L'invention concerne donc un ballon de jeu à usage multiple dont la surface externe comprend au moins deux types de zone ; caractérisé par le fait que chaque zone comporte une structure qui est adaptée à l'usage d'un jeu spécifique.
De préférence les structures se différencient par leur rugosité.
Selon un mode de réalisation une des structures est lisse (rugosité nulle).
Selon un mode particulièrement avantageux de l'invention la surface du ballon est constituée d'un ensemble d'éléments fixés les uns aux autres, au moins un desdits éléments présentant une structure différente de celle des autres éléments.
Le nombre de structures différentes, et donc le nombre d'usages du ballon, ne se limite pas forcément à deux.
Multi-purpose game ball Field of the invention The present invention relates to ball games, in particular basketball ball and the soccer. It concerns more precisely the balloons used in these games.
State of the art A ball game such as basketball, volleyball, football or handball, characterized in particular by a balloon whose dimensions, shape, material and the structure are adapted to the game for which it is intended.
A football, volleyball or handball usually has a area external smooth.
Conversely, the surface of a basketball is rather rough. The roughness improves grip of the ball in the hand, which is important because the dimensions of a basketball are such that it can not be held in one hand as well easily a ball of handball.
A problem observed with the balloons of the state of the art lies in the made that they are not suitable for multiple uses. To play effectively football the use of a specific ball is preferred. We can certainly use a balloon football for the practice of another game like basketball but in this case the ball is not as effective as a basketball whose structure of surface, weight and dimensions are specifically designed for this game.
This problem is even more pronounced when playing games in which the balloon is both used with the feet and hands.
There is therefore a need to remedy the aforementioned problems.

General description of the invention An object of the invention is to provide a single balloon for less two uses, like the game FooBaSKlLLTM.
Another object of the invention is to provide a balloon which retains the advantages balloons of the state of the art, especially at the level of adhesion balloon in hand and foot.
Another object of the invention is to provide a multipurpose balloon which preserves the tactile sensations obtained with the balloons of the state of the art.
The invention therefore relates to a multi-purpose play ball whose surface external includes at least two types of zones; characterized by the fact that each zone has a structure that is adapted to the use of a specific game.
Preferably the structures are differentiated by their roughness.
According to one embodiment, one of the structures is smooth (zero roughness).
According to a particularly advantageous embodiment of the invention, the surface of the balloon is consisting of a set of elements attached to each other, at least one said elements with a different structure than the other elements.
The number of different structures, and therefore the number of uses of the balloon, himself not necessarily two.

2 Description détaillée de l'invention L'invention sera mieux comprise ci-après au moyen d'un exemple illustré par les figures suivantes :
Figure 1 : Différentes vues d'un ballon destiné à une pratique combinée du football et du basketball.
Figure 2 : Vue éclatée du ballon de la figure 1 ainsi que deux autres vues de ce même ballon.
Dans cet exemple, le ballon 1 est sphérique et se compose de deux matières différentes , l'une présentant une structure plus rugueuse que l'autre. La matière rugueuse reproduit la texture d'un ballon de basketball et la matière lisse celle d'un ballon de football. Dans cet exemple, la matière basket est constituée d'éléments 2 de forme sensiblement triangulaire alors que la matière foot est constituée de bandes 3 de forme hexagonale. Les différents éléments 2,3 sont fixés les uns aux autres selon une technique traditionnelle (couture, collage, etc...). Le volume du ballon 1 peut p.ex. correspondre à une taille 5 de type ballon de football.
Le poids peut se situer entre 460 et 480 grammes.
Comme indiqué précédemment, le ballon 1 décrit dans cet exemple est destiné à
la pratique d'un sport qui combine les spécificités du football et du basket-ball. Ce ballon est conçu pour que le joueur ressente les mêmes sensations tactiles, lors de la pratique du football et du basket-ball, tout en jouant avec un ballon unique.
Il va de soi que l'invention ne se limite pas à l'exemple précité et qu'elle couvre toute autre variante couverte par le domaine revendiqué.
La liste suivante de variantes de réalisation de l'invention est non-exhaustive :
2 Detailed description of the invention The invention will be better understood hereinafter by means of an example illustrated by the following figures:
Figure 1: Different views of a balloon for a combined practice of football and basketball.
Figure 2: Exploded view of the balloon of Figure 1 and two other views of this same balloon.
In this example, the balloon 1 is spherical and consists of two materials different, one with a rougher structure than the other. The material rough reproduces the texture of a basketball and the smooth material that of a soccer ball. In this example, the basketball material is incorporated elements 2 of substantially triangular shape while the football material is consists of strips 3 of hexagonal shape. The different elements 2,3 are fixed to each other according to a traditional technique (sewing, collage, etc ...). The The volume of the balloon 1 can for example correspond to a size 5 of the balloon type.
