Description

Catapult ball game device The invention relates to a novel game device, consisting of a catapult (slingshot) with a small ball and one with the same rigidly connected capture net. Fig.l. The catapult device can e.g. in the drawing. In the embodiment shown there is the Handle (1) and the ball penetration rino (2) made of a light material, e.g. made of thermoplastic material. The penetration ring (2) can differ from the one shown Example also differ from the circular shape. On the side of the penetration ring (2) there are two approaches (3) for attaching the rubber centrifugal strands (4). At the other two ends of the rubber slingshot strings, there is a ball insert pocket (5) attached. This tab can be made of a thin leather, plastic, or another consist of suitable material.

The ball to be used for the game (Fig.2) is used to prevent physical injuries to avoid at the playing partner, suitably made of a foam rubber. Of the Ball can have three transverse holes so that it can be held more easily in the insert flap through the center of the ball, the axes of which are perpendicular to each other in the center of the ball stand. (Fig. 3).

Instead of the three through holes, there can be six in the same Well arranged wells serve the same purpose. (Fig. 4) That Ball net (6) is attached to a ring (7) e.g.

attached to a metal wire or other suitable material. The mesh of the net should be chosen so small that the ball cannot catch it can hop through.

The net material can consist of natural or plastic yarns, should however, they can sag as softly as possible.

The depth T of the network (6), which is as funnel-shaped as possible, is expedient approximately equal to the diameter D of the net fastening ring so that the net when the play equipment is held upright, the ball passage opening is not covered.

According to the invention, the catch net (6) is over the fastening ring (7) Fixed or adjustable connected to the catapult device f1-5i.

To complete the play equipment belong for the main spike two more toros to delimit the forest penetration field (Eig.5),} es1-ehend e.g. four vertical tent poles (8), which are used in the playground, Provided with a device for attaching two adjustable tiheights horizontal ropes or net-like straps.

The game can be done in many variations. It will only be a few Variants of it described.

1. Main game With e.g. four tent poles, two game goals are set up. By attaching two colored plastic parts to two goal posts fields of fire arise. The arrangement of the rods and ropes as well as the distances are can be seen from FIG.

Rules of the game The players take their position behind the fields of fire a. Both players have a catapult catcher. The one starting the game The player now has the task of placing the ball in the field of fire of his opponent in such a way that that he cannot catch the ball. For this he receives one point. Catches If the opponent hits the ball, he receives a point for it. He shoots Passing the ball past the field of fire and the opponent catches it anyway Ball, the 1st player receives o points, the 2nd player 3 points. Who is first 20 Reached points wins the game. As in tennis, the game can be between two Double teams are played. Only the distance between the goal posts is used here extended by approx. 2 m.

2. Driftball game to be played primarily on play streets. The player shoots the ball at an opponent from a certain distance. From there, where the ball touches down, it is shot back. If the opponent catches the ball in Catcher, he can advance a number of steps to be agreed and from there shoot back.

3. Bounce ball game From a certain point, the ball will hit a Wall played and must be caught when bouncing back.

Every ball caught is counted as a plus point.

The catapult ball games are primarily to be played outdoors. Game variants however, they can also be played in large, closed spaces. Recommend the games suitable for children aged 8 and up and can of course go beyond that be played by all ages. The game using the catapult ball is completely harmless, as the rubber foam balls are soft and none Cause injuries.
