Definitions

  • the invention relates to a ball game device consisting of ball and catch disc, the surfaces of which are provided with Velcro material for mutual adhesion, the catch disc comprising a plastic plate, the back of which carries a handle and the front of which carries the Velcro material.
  • Velcro material is to be understood as the pairing of two adhering but easily detachable surface materials, at least one of which has a multiplicity of monofilament projections, the ends of which are bent in the shape of a hook or thickened in the form of heads, and hereinafter referred to as check marks.
  • Material is referred to, while the other has a large number of loose, loop-shaped, preferably monofilament fibers, in which the heads or hooks can get caught and which is referred to below as fiber fluff.
  • Such materials are known and in diverse uses; they therefore do not require any further description here.
  • the above explanations are not intended to be restricted to special designs of Velcro material, although the said designs have proven to be particularly suitable.
  • the plastic plate is stiff and has a full surface. Its ball-catching surface is therefore always essentially flat. If the player extends his arm far to reach a ball flying high or far to the side, it happens easily and involuntarily that he bends his hand a little backwards, so that the catch disc is inclined at an unfavorable angle in relation to the direction of flight of the ball.
  • a further disadvantage of the known device is that the handle can only be produced in one piece with the plate using complicated and expensive injection molds.
  • the invention has for its object to provide a ball game device of the type mentioned that is easy to manufacture and easier to master the game situations described.
  • the solution according to the invention is that the plastic plate has a cutout approximately corresponding to the contours of the handlebar in a vertical plan view below the handlebar.
  • this feature enables a molded part that forms the handle to pass through the cutout of the plastic plate, so that a two-part shape is sufficient for production.
  • this feature has the consequence that the moment of resistance of the plate decreases around an axis running in the direction of the grip, so that the plate is somewhat flexible about this axis. Since this axis is roughly in line with the axes of the metacarpal joints of the hand reaching through the handle and holding the plate, it is possible to bend or kink the catch disc a little by appropriately bending the fingers in relation to the palm of the hand, so that their outer, from the Finger-supported part is bent a little forward compared to the other part and is therefore bent less or not at all when the arm is extended, thereby achieving a more favorable angular position to the trajectory of the ball.
  • the plate expediently has an edge stiffening profile so that its essentially flat shape remains secured despite the cutout mentioned; the said bend, however, does not interfere with the usual choice of material (for example polyethylene).
  • the tick material is arranged on the catch disc or on the ball and accordingly the fiber fleece is on the ball or catch disc.
  • the arrangement of the fiber fleece on the catching disc has proven to be expedient, primarily for cost reasons.
  • the fleece material is less expensive than the tick material, and the Velcro material to be arranged on the catch discs is required in a larger amount.
  • the Velcro material is expediently in the form of several separate elements on the ball. It is not necessary that these elements connect to one another without a gap, although this is possible with a correspondingly precise production. Rather, it is more expedient to provide distances and gaps between the elements because this greatly facilitates their application to the ball body. However, the gaps must not be so large that this questions the adhesion of the ball to the catching disc. This condition is usually when the transverse dimensions of the gaps are only so large that no point on the ball surface is more than about four times the thickness of the Velcro material forming the elements from the next element of the Velcro material.
  • no point on the surface of the ball is more than about 1 cm from the next of these elements.
  • the elements preferably have a minimum transverse dimension of approximately 8 to 15 mm. For circularly delimited elements, this transverse dimension is the diameter and for square elements, the side length. For elongated elements, it is the average width.
  • the largest transverse dimensions of the gaps between the Velcro material elements of the ball are expediently no greater than about four times the thickness of the Velcro material, which in this case is to be understood as the sum of both Velcro materials, because if the ball is in the middle of a Velcro-free gap the catching disc hits, the liability is determined not only by the thickness of the Velcro material on the ball, but also by the compressibility of the Velcro material on the catching disc.
  • the flexibility of the ball also has an effect in this connection, depending on the throwing strength; but since there should be a possibility of liability even if the ball is only slow, it is
  • the compressible thickness of the fiber fleece is expediently at least about 2 mm.
  • tick material elements each 12 mm in diameter, were evenly distributed on the surface of a 5 cm diameter ball. This corresponds to a density of one element on about 4 to 6 cm 2 of the ball surface.
  • the Velcro material elements are expediently attached to the ball by means of a pressure-sensitive adhesive provided on their rear side.
  • the same method of attachment can be provided for the fiber fleece material on the catch disc. This material lies directly on the plate of the catching disc and is more or less rigidly supported by it.
  • the catch disc 1 consists of a plastic plate 2 with a handle 3 and the Velcro material 4 glued onto the side free of the handle 3.
  • the disc is essentially flat, but if desired can also be of slightly concave or convex design. It is limited in a circle and its area corresponds approximately to two adult palms.
  • the plate 2 has a cutout 14 below the handle 3, which corresponds approximately to the contours of the handle (in vertical plan view) and enables a simple method of manufacture according to known principles.
  • the Velcro material 4 is bonded to the support plate 1, for example, by means of a pressure-sensitive adhesive provided on the back of the Velcro material, which can be permanently active.
  • the Velcro material on the catch disc is a fiber fleece of approx. 2 mm compressibility.
  • the edge of the catching disc is provided with a suitable profile 5 for the purpose of stiffening.
  • the ball 6 comprises a spherical ball body, which is, for example, an elastically flexible plastic hollow body.
  • the hook material 7 is applied to its surface as Velcro material, which in the example shown consists in one piece of an equatorial strip (8) and transverse strip 9 extending therefrom and is fastened to the ball body by means of a pressure sensitive adhesive located on its rear side.
  • High adhesive strength is not required; it only has to be greater than the adhesive strength resulting between the fiber fleece and the hook material, so that when the ball is released from the catch disc, the Velcro material cannot detach from the ball body.
  • the transverse stripes 9 are so limited that gaps 10 can remain between them, the width of which is so limited that even with the most unfavorable impact of the ball on the catching disc, a sufficient part is always present of the Velcro material comes into contact with the Velcro material on both sides of the gap.
  • the gaps 10 between the transverse strips 9 have an average width of approximately 1 to 5 mm. Depending on the thickness of the fiber fluff, larger gaps (especially at the poles) are tolerable.
  • FIG. 5 shows the Velcro material to be applied to the ball in the form of a strip, the length of which corresponds to the circumference of the ball. It can be seen that essentially equilateral triangular cross strips 9 are attached to the equatorial strips 8. It does not require any special skill to first place the strip 9 equatorially sufficiently centrally around the ball and then to turn the transverse strips 9 towards the poles.
  • Fig. 6 shows a second embodiment of the ball, which is glued to a plurality of elements 11 of a tick material.
