Definitions

  • the present invention relates to an apparatus for picking up, on a surface, objects liable to roll.
  • objects of spherical, spheroidal shape or more generally of at least approximately rounded shape so that they are capable of rolling can be for example, balls or fruits of relatively firm consistency.
  • the invention aims to eliminate these drawbacks by proposing a pick-up device as defined in claim 1. Such a device allows rapid pick-up avoiding excessive back strain.
  • the bale catcher shown comprises a box with a flat bottom, side walls at least approximately vertical and open upward, consisting of two distinct shells 1 advantageously symmetrical joining in the closed state of the device (Figure 1) by their edge internal to form the box.
  • Each shell 1 is provided with an articulation with a vertical axis 2 near the median plane of the device and connected to a handle 3.
  • a handle 4 On the handle 3 slides a handle 4 connected on either side to an arm 5 articulated at one end on this handle 4 and at the other end near the lateral edge of the rear vertical wall of the corresponding shell 1 by articulations 7.
  • a displacement of the handle 4 from the position illustrated in FIG. 1 to that illustrated in Figure 2 rotates the shells 1 around the vertical axes 2 and open the box.
  • the shells 1 are also externally fitted with rollers 6, which are preferably orientable in a conventional manner and making it possible, by action of the handle 3, to move the open or closed box in any direction over the surface considered, while maintaining the bottom of this box very close to this surface.
  • the articulations 7 of the arms 5 will be of the known omnidirectional type, and the handle 3 will be connected to the part integral with the vertical axes 2 by means of an articulation device with a horizontal pin 8 which can be locked and, in the unlocked state movable in longitudinal slots 9 formed in the handle 3 (Figure 3).
  • the handle 3 can take various positions between an operating position in the fully deployed state, the handle 3 being inclined (right part of Figure 3) and a fully folded position limiting the size for example for transport or storage, as it appears in FIG. 3.
  • a vertical position also sketched in FIG. 3 also makes it possible to use the handle 3 of the device at rest as a support for a video camera, the use of which is generalized for teaching tennis, or as a basket support for balls.
  • the ball collecting operation is very simple.
  • the handle 3 being placed in the unfolded position, the handle 4 is pulled along the handle 3 and the two shells 1 move apart by opening the box.
  • the apparatus is pushed towards the balls which roll and penetrate on the bottom of the shells 1 where they collect.
  • the box is then closed by pushing the handle 4 until the shells 1 are completely closed.
