Abstract
Description
La présente invention concerne un support de filet de volley-ball.The present invention relates to a volleyball net holder.
Les supports actuels de filet de volley-ball sont constitués par des poteaux verticaux qui, bien qu'ils soient implantés à l'extérieur du terrain de jeu, constituent un certain danger pour les joueurs. Il n'est pas rare en effet que ceux-ci les heurtent accidentellement et se blessent plus ou moins gravement contre eux.Current volleyball net holders are made up of vertical posts which, although located outside the playing field, pose a certain danger to the players. It is not uncommon indeed that they accidentally strike them and injure themselves more or less seriously against them.
La présente invention se propose d'éviter ce risque d'accident et, pour ce faire, elle a pour objet un support de filet de volley-ball qui se caractérise en ce qu'il comprend une potence dont l'extrémité supérieure comporte des moyens de fixation pour retenir l'une des extrémités du filet et dont l'extrémité inférieure comporte des moyens d'ancrage au sol, cette potence s'étendant parallèlement au filet et ayant son extrémité inférieure déportée vers l'extérieur par rapport à son extrémité supérieure.The present invention proposes to avoid this risk of accident and, to do this, it relates to a volleyball net support which is characterized in that it comprises a bracket whose upper end comprises means of fixing to retain one of the ends of the net and the lower end of which comprises means for anchoring to the ground, this bracket extending parallel to the net and having its lower end offset outwards relative to its upper end .
Le support de filet conforme à la présente invention permet de dégager complètement la zone se trouvant à l'aplomb des moyens de fixation du filet. Les risques pour que les joueurs entrent en collision avec ce support sont par conséquent beaucoup plus faibles qu'avec les poteaux des supports classiques.The net support in accordance with the present invention makes it possible to completely free the area lying directly above the means for fixing the net. The risks for players to collide with this support are therefore much lower than with the posts of conventional supports.
Avantageusement, les moyens de fixation comprennent un manchon vertical solidaire de l'extrémité supérieure de la potence et une colonne montée coulissante dans le manchon, cette colonne comportant des organes d'accrochage supérieur et inférieur pour retenir l'extrémité correspondante du filet.Advantageously, the fixing means comprise a vertical sleeve integral with the upper end of the bracket and a column mounted to slide in the sleeve, this column comprising upper and lower hooking members for retaining the corresponding end of the net.
Il suffit bien entendu de positionner convenablement la colonne par rapport au manchon pour régler le filet à la hauteur désirée.It suffices of course to properly position the column relative to the sleeve to adjust the net to the desired height.
Quant aux moyens d'ancrage, ils sont constitués par au moins un doigt vertical faisant saillie sous l'extrémité inférieure de la potence et qui est reçu avec un faible jeu dans un évidement ménagé dans le sol.As for the anchoring means, they consist of at least one vertical finger projecting from the lower end of the bracket and which is received with little play in a recess in the ground.
L'installation du support de filet peut ainsi être réalisée de façon extrêmement simple et rapide.The installation of the net holder can thus be carried out in an extremely simple and rapid manner.
Selon un mode de réalisation particulier de l'invention, la potence supporte un podium d'arbitrage comportant une plate-forme horizontale pourvue d'un garde-corps et dont la partie située à l'opposé du filet est reliée au sol par l'intermédiaire d'une échelle.According to a particular embodiment of the invention, the gallows supports an arbitration podium comprising a horizontal platform provided with a guardrail and the part of which situated opposite the net is connected to the ground by the intermediate of a ladder.
Contrairement aux podiums d'arbitrage actuels, ce podium ne comporte pas de pied sur sa face qui est tournée vers le filet et permet à son tour d'améliorer la sécurité des joueurs contre les risques de collision.Unlike current refereeing podiums, this podium does not have a foot on its face which is turned towards the net and in turn allows improve player safety against collision risks.
De préférence, la plate-forme comporte sur sa partie située du côté du filet une encoche recevant la potence avec un faible jeu.Preferably, the platform has on its part located on the side of the net a notch receiving the bracket with little play.
Ce podium peut ainsi être installé de façon sûre et rapide sur le support de filet. On conçoit par ailleurs aisément que son poids est nettement plus faible que celui des podiums actuels, ce qui permet non seulement de le manutentionner plus facilement mais également de le réaliser avec un prix de revient plus compétitif.This podium can thus be installed quickly and securely on the net support. It is also easy to see that its weight is significantly lower than that of current podiums, which allows not only to handle it more easily but also to achieve it with a more competitive cost price.
Un mode d'exécution de la présente invention sera décrit ci-après à titre d'exemple nullement limitatif en référence aux dessins annexés dans lesquels :
- . la figure 1 est une vue de côté d'un support de filet conforme à l'invention
- . la figure 2 est une vue du support depuis sa face qui est à l'opposé du filet ; et
- . la figure 3 est une vue de dessus du support.
- . Figure 1 is a side view of a net support according to the invention
- . Figure 2 is a view of the support from its face which is opposite the net; and
- . Figure 3 is a top view of the support.
Le support de filet de volley-ball que l'on peut voir sur les dessins comprend une potence 1 dont l'extrémité supérieure comporte des moyens de fixation 2 pour retenir-l'une des extrémités du filet 3 et dont l'extrémité inférieure comporte des moyens d'ancrage au sol 4.The volleyball net support which can be seen in the drawings comprises a bracket 1 whose upper end comprises
La potence 1, est disposée parallèlement au filet 3 de manière à ce que son extrémité inférieure soit déportée vers l'extérieur par rapport à son extrémité supérieure. Dans l'exemple de réalisation représenté, elle est constituée par un caisson incliné réalisé en tôle, mais il va de soi que l'on ne sortirait pas du cadre de la présente invention si elle avait une configuration et une section différentes.The bracket 1, is arranged parallel to the
Les moyens de fixation 2 comprennent un manchon vertical 5 fixé à l'extrémité supérieure de la potence 1 et une colonne 6 montée coulissante dans le manchon 5. La colonne 6 fait saillie de chaque côté du manchon et comporte à chacune de ses extrémités des organes d'accrochage 7, 8 réalisés d'une manière connue en soi pour retenir l'extrémité correspondante du filet 3. Elle comporte en outre deux séries opposées de trous (non représentés) destinés à être alignés sélectivement avec deux trous opposés ménagés dans le manchon. Ainsi, en introduisant une goupille de verrouillage 9 dans les deux trous du manchon et dans deux trous judicieusement choisis de la colonne, on peut donc facilement régler la hauteur du filet.The fixing means 2 comprise a
On précisera encore que le manchon et la colonne ont une section carrée mais qu'ils pourraient bien entendu avoir une section circulaire ou de toute autre forme.It will also be specified that the sleeve and the column have a square section but that they could of course have a circular section or any other shape.
Les moyens d'ancrage 4 sont constitués quant à eux par un doigt vertical 10 faisant saillie sous la face inférieure d'une embase 11 fixée sous la potence 1 parallèlement au filet, ce doigt étant reçu avec un faible jeu dans un évidement 12 délimité par un fourreau dont l'extrémité supérieure affleure la surface du sol.The anchoring means 4 consist for their part by a
Dans le cas d'un- terrain de jeu utilisable aussi bien pour pratiquer le volley-ball que le tennis, le fourreau pourrait être celui habituellement utilisé pour la mise en place d'un poteau de tennis.In the case of a playground which can be used for both volleyball and tennis, the scabbard could be that usually used for the installation of a tennis pole.
On remarquera ici que l'embase 11 pourrait être plus longue que celle représentée sur le dessin de manière à s'étendre davantage sous la potence 1 et à augmenter ainsi la stabilité du support de filet. Un second doigt vertical 10 pourrait par ailleurs être ajouté si cela s'avérait nécessaire.It will be noted here that the
Conformément à une autre caractéristique de l'invention, la potence 1 supporte un podium d'arbitrage comportant une plate-forme horizontale 13 pourvue d'un garde-corps 14. La partie de la plate-forme qui est située à l'opposé du filet 3 est reliée au sol par l'intermédiaire d'une échelle 15 tandis que sa partie qui est située du côté du filet comporte une encoche 16 recevant la potence avec un faible jeu et permettant la réalisation d'un assemblage parfaitement stable entre le support de filet et le podium.According to another characteristic of the invention, the bracket 1 supports an arbitration podium comprising a
En se référant en particulier à la figure 1, on pourra enfin aisément constater que grâce à la structure particulière du support de filet et du podium d'arbitrage conformes à l'invention, l'espace situé sous la potence 1 est entièrement dégagé de sorte que les joueurs risquent nettement moins de se blesser que si l'on utilisait un poteau vertical pour supporter le filet et un podium d'arbitrage ayant deux pieds sur sa face tournée vers le filet.With particular reference to FIG. 1, it will finally be easy to see that, thanks to the particular structure of the net support and the referee podium in accordance with the invention, the space located under the stem 1 is entirely cleared so that players are much less likely to be injured than if a vertical pole was used to support the net and a referee podium with two feet on its side facing the net.
