Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a device for training flexible ball games, in particular tennis.
  • training materials are characterized by the fact that they only offer one or the other of the following two solutions: 1 - Either return balls to the player by bouncing on a vertical, inclined or convex, these materials being built in masonry or prefabricated; - Either throw balls towards the player by means of more or less elaborate mechanical devices, the player returning the balls towards a bouncing wall, for example, so that they immobilize on the ground in an unpredictable position and that you will have to collect them one by one.
  • the object of the present invention is to overcome the drawbacks of these known devices and to provide a convenient, attractive and high-performance drive device which can, moreover, be easily transported and stored.
  • a type of drive device comprising a frame made up of rigid uprights so as to determine a rebounding surface, and which is characterized by the fact that this frame is provided at its upper part with a support making it possible to hang a fabric away from the rebounding surface or a tensionless net intended to cancel the kinetic energy of the balls sent by the players, this device also comprising, at its base, means for returning the balls which they have sent to the players.
  • the means for returning the balls comprise at least one chute that is adjustable in height and which has at its bottom at least one inclined plane and at least one launching device whose ball admission orifice is in communication with the bottom. of the inclined plane.
  • the frame specified above is extended to the sides and / or upwards by at least one recovery net. which is mounted on a rod connected to the frame by telescopic means.
  • inclined planes are arranged below the lateral recovery nets and open into the chute specified above, which allows the stray balls to be returned to the player, the impact of which is on the lateral recovery nets.
  • the stray balls that hit the recovery net located above the bouncing wall it is clear that they also fall into the chute like normal balls.
  • At least one of the uprights of the frame is made of several elements hinged together which can be locked in alignment to constitute the corresponding amount.
  • the rebounding wall and / or the tensionless hanging net comprise a plurality of targets visually separated from each other and marked with signs making it possible to indicate a score, which makes it possible to score points corresponding to the targets affected and increases the motivation of the players and the interest of the game which thus turns into a new board game and skill.
  • the bouncing surface has several different inclination planes, which also increases the interest of the game by varying the twists and thus forcing the players to instantly adapt to balls whose trajectory and power are different.
  • the drive device of the invention comprises a lighting device / along its upper part to allow the use of the device in a semi-dark atmosphere.
  • the chute specified above has on its bottom two inclined planes hinged together in the middle, at least one of these planes being able to be locked in the high position.
  • the two aligned planes are in alignment, one in the high position and the other in the low position, it is possible to use a single ball launcher at the end of the chute corresponding to the lowest point of the aligned planes.
  • the two inclined planes are in the low position to form an edge, it becomes possible to install a launcher at each end of the chute, these two launchers which determine crossed trajectories simulating an opponent who is moving.
  • the drive device essentially comprises a rigid vertical frame 1 on which is stretched a rebounding wall 2 made of fabric or netting which is little or not extensible.
  • This frame 1 is stabilized on the ground by two feet 3 provided with adjustment members.
  • the frame 1 comprises at its upper end and over at least part of its width a support 4 from which can be freely suspended by any suitable means a fabric or a damping net 5.
  • a fabric or a damping net 5 At the bottom of the frame, and here over its entire width, the device is provided with a chute 6 which opens into ball launchers 7a and 7b of a type known on either side of the chute.
  • the support 4 has been shown in Figure 1 in the form of a plate, but it could take any other form, such as that of a frame ( Figure 2) or rods perpendicular to the surface of the bouncing wall 2 ( Figure 4).
  • the bottom of the chute 6 has two inclined planes 8a and 8b in the form of a roof, the edge of which in the middle of the chute, has been designated by the reference 9.
  • the chute 6 could be provided, over its entire length, with a single inclined plane (see FIG. 2) opening into a single lan right or left of the device.
  • all the balls arrive at the launcher 7a if it is the inclined plane 8b that is brought in the extension of the other.
  • the inclined planes 8 the shape of an inverted roof, the balls then converging on a single launcher located in the middle of the chute 6.
  • the device also comprises lateral threads 14a and 14b for the recovery of stray bales, which are freely suspended from horizontal rods 15a and 15b, respectively, slidingly mounted (arrows F) in the tube which forms the upper part of the frame 1. It is thus possible, after dismantling the nets, to retract their suspension rods 15 in the frame 1, which limits the size of the device to that of the frame 1, for example for its transport.
  • inclined planes 16a and 16b are arranged below the threads 14a and 14b, respectively, to bring the balls received by these nets towards the chute 6.
  • Another stray ball recovery net 14c could be mounted above the rebounding wall 2, for example by hanging it on the horizontal bar of an inverted U-shaped frame whose lateral branches would be mounted sliding with possibility of blocking in the vertical uprights of the frame 1.
  • the sides of the frame 1 can be constituted by several articulated elements like the elements 1a and 1b of FIG. 3, which makes it possible to fold the frame 1 for its transport or its storage.
  • the elements 1a and 1b are articulated around the axis 17 of a hinge 18, the two parts of which are respectively integral with the elements in question.
  • a corner 19 with a flattened rectangular section which is inserted into two sleeves 20a and 20b of corresponding shape / respectively secured to the elements la and 1b on their face opposite to that of the joint 17.
  • a chain 21 connects the corner 19 to one of the elements of the upright, la or 1b to prevent it from escaping during transport.
  • the rebounding wall 2 stretched over the frame 1 can be constituted by several different planes 2a, 2b, 2c, which, by modifying the trajectories, increase the interest of the game as indicated above.
  • this rebounding wall 2 and the hanging net 5 may comprise several targets 22a, 22b, 22c, 22d, separated from each other by display lines 23 and marked with signs 24 making it possible to indicate a score, which motivates the players and increase the interest of the game, as indicated above.
  • a lighting device shown very diagrammatically at 25 in FIG. 1 is placed at the upper part of the frame 1. It allows the device according to the invention to be used even when it is dark. Of course, this lighting device is protected from the impact of bullets by a strip 26 secured to the support 4. In addition, it can be arranged in any other suitable location.
  • the inclined planes of types 2a, 2b, 2c which constitute the rebounding wall (or surface), as well as the series of upper and lateral threads of type 26 are fixed to rods telescopic supports 27 with folding means so that the threads 26 can be retracted on the one hand and, on the other hand, fold the assembly, as shown in FIG. 6, along the frame 28 which, fitted with 29 casters, can be easily transported and sheltered.
  • FIG 7 shows the case where, instead of using a single chute 6 at the bottom of the frame 1 as for example in Figure 1, there are two half-chutes 6a and 6b of identical shapes but offset in height one by relative to each other and the height adjustment of which is obtained by vertical sliding of the telescopic tubular legs 30, 31. Either of these chutes 6a, 6b can be turned over or mounted in twinning.
  • frame 1 can be connected by cables to a gantry provided with nets, the whole supporting a light, removable cover, translucent or not, allowing to shelter the device as well as the player (s).
  • the rebounding wall (or surface) 2 can be rigid instead of being flexible as indicated above.
  • the ball game training device is designed to allow a player, beginner or not confirmed, or even a physically handicapped to train alone or with partners. This with the possibility of varying the cadence of the game, in the case of implementation of a ball launcher, by using two balls instead of one.
