Definitions

  • the invention relates to a ball game with a game board having a ball rolling field, which has a ball rebound surface on at least one side and a delimited field at a distance from the rebound surface.
  • Such a ball game is known per se (DE-GM 7 905 901).
  • the ball rebound surface enables an extension of the rolling path of the ball. Therefore, the playing field is inevitably arranged next to the starting point of the ball, on the side of the ball rolling field of the playing board opposite the rebound surface.
  • the playing field itself is preferably formed on an exchangeable playing field plate, so that the ball rolling game can be played in different ways, depending on the type and design of the playing field the respective field plate.
  • the rebound surface In the known ball game, the rebound surface is straight. It therefore requires some skill from the player to place the thrown ball in the correct place on the field. If one assumes that when the ball is reflected on the rebound surface, the angle of incidence equals the angle of reflection, there is only one point of impact on the rebound surface for each location on the playing field (in truth there is a scattering range, but there are other uncertainty factors such as different ones Flexibility of the rebound surface over its length) for one location on the playing field.
  • the invention is therefore based on the object of providing a ball game in which, with regard to the interaction of the ball and the rebound surface, better accuracy and different running directions are achieved in the playing field.
  • the rebound surface has at least one curved section or sections arranged at an angle to one another.
  • the curved curve is also steered, unless the centrifugal force ensures constant contact between the ball and the curved surface.
  • the rebound surface is curved in an arc shape for reflection purposes. It is assumed that in many cases the starting point of a thrown or otherwise set ball is almost unchanged or is at least within a limited range. According to a further embodiment of the invention, it is then readily possible for the curvature to be chosen such that the ball is reflected essentially in the same area on the playing surface regardless of the point at which the ball strikes the rebound surface. Such a curvature can be constructed relatively easily by connecting the start and target of the ball with a number of points in the area of the rebound surface and always ensuring that the angle of incidence is equal to the angle of reflection. With a curved rebound surface, another running direction can also be achieved and thus a play direction in the playing field that cannot be achieved with straight rebound surfaces.
  • the curvature of the rebound surface can also be chosen differently depending on the design of the playing field or the choice of the starting point for the ball.
  • the rebound surface can also be curved in one area so that the center of curvature lies on the side opposite the game board.
  • the rebound surface can be arranged in a corner.
  • the rebound surface runs at an angle, the apex area of which may be curved.
  • the rebound surface can be arranged in a more or less undulating course if this can serve the purpose of the game or convey a higher level of difficulty.
  • the ball game can be designed as a billiard, which can consequently be arranged in the corner of a room.
  • Known billiard tables are usually set up so that they are accessible from all sides. Therefore, the ball game according to the invention enables the arrangement of a billiard game area in smaller rooms or a space-saving arrangement.
  • the band sections arranged at an angle can be connected via a concavely curved band.
  • the billiard table can also be the cover of a corner cupboard which is formed below the playing surface.
  • the rebound surface can be composed of several straight sections.
  • the straight sections of the rebound surface can be guided in such a way that they approach a uniformly curved curve.
  • the straight sections can be rebound elements which are arranged so as to be adjustable relative to one another in terms of angle. With the help of such rebound elements, any curve shape of the rebound surface can be set.
  • the rebound surface can be formed on an elongated element which is pivotally mounted on the lower or upper side, while a spring arrangement rests on the opposite side.
  • the pivot axis is expediently in the lower region of the elongate element. It is understood that the rebound elements mentioned above can each be pivotally mounted in the sense mentioned.
  • the rebound surface can be formed on an elongated, relatively soft-elastic element which bears against an elongated, hard-elastic element.
  • the hard elastic element can in turn rest against a soft elastic elongated element. In the latter two cases, there is a favorable reflection effect, i.e. a low loss rebound.
  • a further embodiment of the invention provides that the interchangeable field plate from one Taking the game board is so recordable that it can be used in different positions. Each position means a change in the playing field, for example increasing or decreasing the level of difficulty.
  • the playing field plate can be insertable in layers rotated about a vertical axis, for example by 90 °, 180 ° etc.
  • a playing field body can also be provided with a plurality of sides containing playing fields, which can be inserted into the recess in different positions. It is understood that the respective playing field to be played is arranged so that it can also be reached by the ball. If the playing field is higher or lower than the ball track of the game board, corresponding ramp-like transition surfaces or the like must be provided so that discontinuities in the taxiway are avoided as far as possible.
  • a ramp surface sloping towards the playing surface is arranged in front of the rebound surface. This prevents the ball from lying next to the rebound surface. Rather, it will always roll back at a distance from the rebound surface so that it can be pushed again with the cue.
  • the game board of the ball game according to the invention can be a uniform board or consist of several interconnectable individual elements which can be arranged on a table, on the floor, on special supports or the like. In many cases it is desirable to accommodate such a game in a space-saving manner in such a way that it disturbs the use of the space as little as possible.
  • a further embodiment of the invention provides that the game board has a suspension device.
  • the hanging device is preferably attached to the back and allows the entire playing surface to be hung on a wall.
  • the rebound surface itself or part of the ball game can be designed so that the entire game board can be hung on it, so that the back of it faces the room.
  • a further embodiment of the invention provides that a fastening device is arranged on the back of the game board, which holds a covering made of paper, cardboard, textile fabric or the like.
  • the ball game can be used for room decoration, for example by the fact that the covering is designed in a special way graphically.
  • the design of the covering can also be such that there is an adaptation to the design of the room wall.
  • 10 generally designates a game board which can consist of one piece or of individual elements which can be releasably connected to one another.
  • the playing board 10 is delimited by return tracks 11, which have a slope towards the front and have a raised edge 12 on the side.
  • a playing field plate 13 can be inserted in a recess in the playing plate 10 and can be replaced by another playing field plate with the same dimensions.
  • the game board 13 extends only over part of the width of the game board 10 and thereby leaves space for a starting location 14, from which a game ball 15 can be set in motion.
  • the ball 15 can also roll off a ramp 16 inclined towards the playing board 10.
  • the return path 11 on the the left side of the game board 10 merges into a return path 17 on the front face of the game board 10.
  • a rebound band 18 is arranged on the opposite end face, the rebound surface 19 of which is curved in an arc.
  • the curvature of this board 10 is concave.
  • the curvature of the rebound surface 19 can. can be selected according to the desired requirements. So it can be such that regardless of the point of impact of the ball 15 on the baffle 19, the ball 15 is always deflected towards the field plate 13. This is shown in Fig. 1 using three different examples.
  • a recess 20 is arranged in the game board 10, which is shown in dashed lines.
  • the recess serves to receive a playing field plate, as it is designated by 13 in FIG. 1. It can also have an embodiment according to FIG. 3, in which it is designated by 21.
  • the playing field plate 21 is designed such that it can be inserted into the recess 20 offset by an angle of 90, 180 ° etc., the degree of difficulty changing depending on the position of the playing field plate 21.
  • the playing field plate 21 can also be inserted into the recess 20 tilted by 180 °.
  • Fig. 4 shows a rebound band 22, the rebound surface ei NEN concave portion 23 and a convex portion 24, which merge continuously and form approximately an S-curve.
  • the different rebound directions of a ball, which is sent from a starting location 25 in the direction of the band 22, is again shown in three examples.
  • FIG. 5 shows a game board 30 which has two sides tapering at right angles, which are connected to one another via four sides running at an obtuse angle.
  • a game board 31 can be used interchangeably in a recess.
  • a wave-shaped rebound surface 32 is provided in the area of the right angle.
  • In front of the rebound surface 32 there is a surface 33 that slopes down to the playing field plate 31.
  • a plurality of rebound columns 34 are arranged on the front side of the playing plate 30.
  • the course of a ball, which e.g. is set in motion from a starting location 35 is again shown in several examples. 5 is particularly suitable as a billiard and can be arranged in the corner of a room according to the training shown.
  • FIG. 6 shows a playing field body 40 with a plurality of playing field sides 41, 42 and 43 which can be inserted into the recess of a playing board, as is shown in the previous figures.
  • a rebound band 50 can be composed of straight individual elements 51 and at the same time roughly achieves the effect of a continuous arcuate curvature of the rebound surface.
  • Various examples of the course of a ball 52 played against the board 50 are also shown. If the individual elements 51 are adjustable relative to one another, a curve profile can also be achieved, as is shown in FIG. 8.
  • FIGS. 9 and 10 show an exemplary embodiment of the arrangement of a single element 51, it must be added that an entire band, which is provided for a ball game according to the innovation, can also be used.
  • the element 51 is suspended in a bearing 54 by means of laterally projecting pins 53.
  • three spring arrangements 55 bear against the rebound plate 51, which is inclined obliquely to the rear.
  • a ball 52 rolling on the playing plate 56 has the direction of rotation 57 and pivots the element 51 in the direction of arrow 58 against the force of the spring assemblies 55.
  • the element 51 gives the ball an impulse in the opposite direction, so that the ball rotates in the direction of arrow 59 and moves in the direction of arrow 60.
  • Such an embodiment has the advantage that the ball 52 is constantly held against the running surface of the playing plate 56 and is not lifted and bounces during the rebound, as a result of which part of the kinetic energy is lost.
  • the inclination of the rebound element 21 shown in FIG. 10 can be changed depending on the game requirements.
  • a band 7 0 is shown in section, which is composed of an elongated soft-elastic element 71 and an element hartelasti Service 72nd The elements 71, 72 lie snugly against each other.
  • the band 70 is shown inclined for the effective reflection of a ball 73.
  • soft-elastic elements can consist of wood, metal or elastic plastic, while soft-elastic elements can consist of foam, rubber or similar material.
  • a high degree of reflection can be achieved with the aid of the rebound bands shown, in particular in the embodiment according to FIG. 12, because the energy is stored over a short deformation path. There is no loss of energy due to the ball jumping and running up on the rebound surface.
  • a rectangular game board 80 which has a concavely curved rebound band 81 at one end.
  • a playback location 82 is located on the opposite side of the plate 80 and the arrows 83, 84, 85 indicate the possibility of a ball bouncing off of 82.
  • the game objective in the present case consists of two arrangements 86, 87 of bowling skittles, namely in the front half of the game board 80 on both sides of the longitudinal axis of the game board 80. How to get out FIG. 13 also recognizes that there are angular limiting elements 88 on both sides and symmetrical to the longitudinal axis, which prevent the ball from being able to be played on the cone arrangements 86 or 87 from the launch site 82.
  • the game board 80 When cones are set up on the game board 80, the game board 80 is preferably arranged horizontally.
  • the playing surface can also be horizontal or can be arranged with a slope to the play point 82. Lateral boundaries 89 prevent the ball from rolling off the playing surface.
  • the concave band 81 which is curved in the shape of a circular arc, can also be curved to a greater extent such that it is possible to shoot the ball in the direction of arrow 90 towards the right cone arrangement 87 by a shot to the right in the direction of section 90 to steer. It goes without saying that a corresponding section 90 can also be arranged on the right side of the band 81.
  • a curve bump band 101 is provided, which is arranged at the end of a rectangular game board 100. It consists of two spaced convex curve sections 102 and 103 which are connected to one another by a straight section 104. Lateral boundaries 105 prevent the ball from rolling off the playing board 100.
  • a plurality of playing goals 106 are arranged symmetrically to the longitudinal axis of the playing board 100 and consist of two diverging catch elements which are open towards the board 101.
  • the Game targets 106 are arranged in a row except for one on each side, the rows converging in the direction of the launch site 107.
  • the game objectives 106 are provided with markings (numbers, letters). Arrows 108 and 109 indicate the rebound possibilities of a ball hit from 107.
  • a ball 108 is drawn by a rebound element.
  • the playing board 100 or its playing surface can be arranged horizontally or in an inclined position with a slope to the abutment point 107. In the game shown, a certain type of combination is played with a fixed number of balls.
  • FIG. 15 contains a game board 110, the game field of which is formed as a soccer field.
  • Fixed circular obstacles 111 represent players.
  • the obstacles 111 can be provided with special rebound curves, as shown at 112.
  • In front of the gate 113 there are also two deflecting elements 114 converging towards the gate.
  • On the long sides there are convex projections 115 at a distance from one another, which can be played with the balls 116 in order to bring them into the gate 113.
  • the play options are indicated by arrows with solid and dashed lines. It can be seen from this that the ball or ball 116 must always be conveyed into the gate 113 from the side.
  • a goalkeeper 117 who is on a pivoted lever 118 can be moved, as indicated by arrow 119. Balls 116 hit into goal 113 remain in goal area 120, since plate 110 is arranged with a slope in the direction of goal 113.
  • a launcher 121 is located opposite the gate 113 and consists of a tube 122 and a spring-loaded plunger 123 which is moved therein.
  • the tube 122 is pivoted at 124.
  • the plunger 123 can be pulled backwards in the direction of the arrow 125, so that a ball 116 can be received by the tube 122.
  • the plunger 123 By releasing the plunger 123, the ball is fired in the set direction.
  • a raised edge 126 around the playing field 110 ensures that the balls cannot roll off. Since there is a slope in the direction of the gate -113, a rubber band 127 or the like is held between the posts 128 in front of the launcher 121, so that it cannot roll off before the launch.
  • FIGS. 16 and 17 show a game board 130 which can be designed in accordance with the embodiments according to FIGS. 1 to 15.
  • the game board 130 is hinged to a wall 132 by means of a hinge joint 131. 16, can be folded up against the wall 132 (alternatively, it can also be folded down if the hinge is designed accordingly).
