Definitions

  • the present invention relates to marking the score during tennis games. It relates, more particularly, to a small device enabling a tennis player to score the score of the game himself.
  • US Patent 4,172,595 describes a score marker of the above type, which adapts to the end of the handle of the racket, which it matches the octagonal shape. It essentially consists of a base pierced with two parallel slots and two sliders respectively engaged in these slots along which indexing means make it possible to immobilize them in four determined positions corresponding respectively to points 0.15, 30 and 40.
  • the present invention aims to provide a score marker for tennis which allows this information to be displayed in a clear and simple manner.
  • the marker shown in Figures 1 and 2 has, as a basic element, a disc-shaped plate 10, which is pierced by three elongated rectilinear slots 12, 14 and 16, forming the letter U.
  • the slots 12 and 14, which have the same length, are parallel to the axis x'x of the disc and arranged symmetrically with respect to it. They are offset towards the upper half (in FIG. 1) of the disc, thus leaving, in its lower half, the place for the slot 16. This is perpendicular to the axis x'x and has a length which roughly corresponds at the distance between the outer edges of the parallel slots 12 and 14.
  • each slot delimited by two parallel walls, opens onto the front face 10a of the plate by a flared portion 18 (for reasons of simplification, not shown in FIG. 1) and on its rear face 10b by a simple rectangular groove 20.
  • This is itself pierced by small cylindrical housings, or positioning notches, 22 which are centered on the axis of the slots.
  • the slots 12 and 14 include four of these housings, regularly spaced.
  • the slot 16 has only three. The middle housing is centered on the axis x'x of the wafer, while the other two are in the extension of the axes of the slots 12 and 14.
  • the three slots 12, 14 and 16 are each intended to receive a cursor 24 made of an elastically deformable material.
  • This comprises a body 26 and, at its respective ends, a rounded head 28 bearing on the front face 10a and a circular base 30 of diameter corresponding to that of the positioning notches 22.
  • the body 26 has two parallel flat faces which are opposite the walls of the slot. The base and the body are cut in half by a central notch 32. The introduction of the sliders into the slots is facilitated by the presence of the flared portions 18.
  • the cursor 24 is shown, in FIGS. 1 and 2, in the two states that it can occupy, depending on its position along the slot.
  • the cursor When, as shown on the right-hand side of the figures (slot 14), the cursor is not at the level of one of the inscriptions on the face 10a of the plate, its base 30 is wedged between the walls of the slot and the 'notch 32 allows the two halves of the body 26 to approach.
  • the cursor is brought to the level of an inscription on the plate, the base 30 takes place in the positioning notch 22, at the same time as the two halves of the body 26 move apart, due to their elasticity, to return to their rest position.
  • the base plate 10 and the three sliders 24 are advantageously made of plastic, such as a polystyrene or a product sold under the name of "Delrin". Of course, there is nothing to prevent the plate from being made of metal. It is preferable, too, that the plate and the sliders be of different colors.
  • This device allows the player not only to mark his own points and those of his opponent by placing the sliders of slots 12 and 14 at the level of inscriptions 0, 15, 30 and 40, but also to indicate if there is equality and, if not, to which player the advantage belongs by placing the cursor of the slot 16 level respectively of the inscription D or of the inscription A being in the extension of the slot 12 or 14 allocated to the player which advantage.
  • a double-sided adhesive 34 making it possible to stick the marker on a tennis racket, preferably at the end of its handle.
  • any other fixing means in particular by screwing or gluing, can be used.
  • the racket is not the only support to which the marker according to the invention can be attached.
  • the plate 10 may include an ear 36, or any similar means, for hanging a chain or cord 38 allowing the marker to be worn as a pendant.
  • This can also, as illustrated in FIG. 4, be fixed or integrated into a bracelet 40 to be worn like a watch.
  • the invention is not limited to a particular form of plate. There is nothing to prevent it, for example, from being oval, square, rectangular, even triangular or trapezoidal. It is particularly advantageous, when the marker is intended to adapt to the end of the racket handle, to give the pad 10 the same shape as this end, generally octagonal, as well as shown in Figure 5.
  • an H-shaped arrangement can be used or, as shown in Figure 6, the three slots can be arranged along the sides of an isosceles or equilateral triangle (in the case of the figure).
  • the equality-advantage slot 16 is located on the base of the triangle and the points slots 12 and 14 are along its two equal sides. The latter are symmetrical with respect to an axis x'x on which the slot 16 has its midpoint. Note in passing that this figure gives an embodiment of a plate 10 of square shape.
  • FIG. 7 gives the example of another embodiment, in which the slots of points 12 and 14 are arcs of a circle symmetrical with respect to an axis x'x.
  • the slot 16, rectilinear, is then arranged along the axis y'y, perpendicular to the two axes, at the center of the circle.
  • the base plate 10 has a circular shape.
  • FIG. 8 illustrates the possibility of using as the basic element 10 the middle part of a wristwatch which, in the example shown, has a rounded shape.
  • the slots of points 12 and 14 then extend respectively from 8 to 11h. and from 4 to 1h., while the slot 16, whose midpoint is at 6h., extends from 5 to 7h.
  • the flexibility of the sieve is then taken advantage of so that, the marker being applied to a rope, its tabs 42 carry out the fixing by hanging on the two adjacent cords.
  • the base can be fully incorporated.
