Abstract

A small-area games or sports hall for individual or team games, for example of the type and format of football, relieving the joints of the players and avoiding the risk of injury is designed in such a way that the bodies of the individual players (K) are held in straps (7) of a seat or parachute type which are resiliently suspended from the hall ceiling (4), the securing means (8) of the straps (7) being positively guided in a horizontally movable manner in predetermined movement tracks (10, 11) on the said ceiling, the guide tracks (10, 11) on the hall ceiling (4) which are on the longitudinal sides (2) of the playing area and in the region of the goal wall (1a) running linearly (10), whereas those in the central area may be designed arcuately or circularly (11). <IMAGE>

Description

Die Erfindung bezieht sich auf ein völlig neuartiges, von zwei aus jeweils mehreren Spielern gebildeten, gegnerischen Mannschaften in einer speziell dafür ausgebildeten Halle bzw. hallenartigen Konstruktion durchzuführendes Kleinfeld-Ballsportspiel nach Art von Hand und/oder Fußball.The invention relates to a completely new type of handball and / or soccer small field ball game to be carried out by two opposing teams, each formed from two or more players, in a specially designed hall or hall-like construction.

Das besondere Ziel bei dieser neuen Sportart ist es, einerseits die Sprung- und sonstigen Gelenke des Körpers während des Spielvorgangs weitestgehend zu entlasten und zum anderen Stürze sowie jeglichen Körperkontakt mit den Mit- sowie Gegenspielern zu verhindern.The special goal of this new sport is, on the one hand, to relieve the ankle and other joints of the body as much as possible during the game process and, on the other hand, to prevent falls and any physical contact with fellow players or opponents.

Gelöst wird diese Aufgabe dabei durch die im Patentanspruch 1 angegebenen besonderen baulichen Mittel und Maßnahmen. Die Unteransprüche beinhalten hierbei vorteilhafte Weiterbildung bzw. notwendige Details des erfinderischen Spielsystems und seiner Vorrichtungen; ein vergleichbarer Stand der Technik liegt bislang nicht vor.This problem is solved by the special structural means and measures specified in claim 1. The sub-claims contain advantageous further development or necessary details of the inventive game system and its devices; a comparable state of the art is not yet available.

Die zum Anmeldetext zusätzlichen Zeichnungsskizzen dienen zur weiteren Erläuterung des neuartigen Mannschaftsspiels und zeigen in weitestgehend schematischer Andeutung in

Fig. 1
eine perspektivische Darstellung der gesamten Spielvorrichtung und in
Fig. 2
eine Draufsicht auf die Decke der Spielanlage.
The additional drawing sketches for the application text serve to further explain the new team game and show a largely schematic indication in
Fig. 1
a perspective view of the entire game device and in
Fig. 2
a top view of the ceiling of the play structure.

Die Darstellung in Fig. 1 und 2 deutet zunächst einmal umrißmäßig eine Kleinfeld-Spielhalle an, bestehend aus Stirn- und Seitenwänden 1 und 2, Hallenboden 4 und ggf. einer zusätzlichen Bedachung 5 bei Aufstellung im Freien; zugänglich ist diese Halle dabei über mindestens eine Tür 6 an einer der Stirn- oder Längsseiten 1 oder 2. Desweiteren ist hierbei vorgesehen, daß die seitlichen Spielfeldbegrenzungen banden- oder wandartig ausgebildet sind und beispielsweise aus Plexiglas, Gittergeflecht o. ä. Aufbau bestehen.The representation in FIGS. 1 and 2 first of all indicates a small-sized game arcade, consisting of end and side walls 1 and 2, hall floor 4 and possibly an additional roofing 5 when installed outdoors; This hall is accessible via at least one door 6 on one of the end or long sides 1 or 2. Furthermore, it is provided here that the lateral boundaries of the field of play are designed in the manner of bands or walls and consist, for example, of plexiglass, meshwork or the like.

Das eigentlich Neue und somit Wesentliche bei dem vorliegenden System liegt nun darin, daß die Körper der einzelnen Spieler "K" in sitz- bzw. fallschirmspringerartigen an der Hallendecke 4 federnd aufgehängten Gurten 7 gehalten sind, wobei die Halterungen 8 der Gurte 7 in dort vorgegebenen Bewegungsbahnen 10, 11 horizontalverfahrbar zwangsgeführt sind.The actually new and therefore essential in the present system is that the bodies of the individual players "K" are held in seat-like or parachutist-like straps 7 which are resiliently suspended from the hall ceiling 4, the holders 8 of the straps 7 being predetermined there Trajectories 10, 11 are positively guided horizontally.

Um nun beispielsweise ein Mannschafts-Ballspiel mit Torwart, Verteidigern und Stürmern durchführen zu können, ist vorgesehen, daß die an der Hallendecke 4 befindlichen Führungsbahnen 10, 11 an den Spielfeldlängsseiten 2 und im Bereich der Torwand 1a linear 10 verlaufen, wogegen diejenigen im Mittelfeld bogen- oder kreisförmig 11 ausgebildet sein können; jede andere Variante, als die in den Zeichnungen dargestellte, ist hierbei ebenfalls denkbar.In order, for example, to be able to carry out a team ball game with goalkeepers, defenders and strikers, it is provided that the guideways 10, 11 located on the hall ceiling 4 on the longitudinal sides of the field 2 and in the area of the goal wall 1 a linear 10 run, whereas those in the middle can be arcuate or circular 11; any other variant than that shown in the drawings is also conceivable here.

In spezieller Ausgestaltung des neuen Systems ist weiterhin vorgesehen, daß die Führungsbahnen 10, 11 als Rollenbahnen ausgebildet sind, die Halterungen 8 der Sitze bzw. Gurte 7 als sog. über Rollen 8a freiverfahrbare Laufkatzen und die 8a Federelemente 9 zwischen letzteren und den Gurten 7 angeordnet sind, wobei diese Federelemente 9 in ihrer Charakteristik veränderbar, d. h., in ihrer Härte bzw. Schwingweite verstellbar und somit der Größe und/oder dem Gewicht der jeweiligen Spieler individuell angepaßt werden können.In a special embodiment of the new system, it is further provided that the guideways 10, 11 are designed as roller conveyors, the brackets 8 of the seats or belts 7 as so-called trolleys freely movable via rollers 8a and the 8a spring elements 9 between the latter and the belts 7 are, these spring elements 9 in their characteristics changeable, d. h., adjustable in their hardness or amplitude and thus the size and / or the weight of the respective player can be individually adjusted.

Letztlich ist es hierbei denkbar, daß die gesamte Spielanlage nicht nur als feste Halle, sondern beispielsweise auch als Rahmengestell in einer Halle bzw. als überdachte Freianlage sowie zerleg- und transportierbar ausgebildet werden kann.Ultimately, it is conceivable that the entire play area can be designed not only as a fixed hall, but also, for example, as a frame in a hall or as a covered outdoor area and can be dismantled and transported.

Die im vorstehenden kurz in den wesentlichsten Grundzügen beschriebene, neue Hallen- bzw. Hallen-Ballsportart ist somit insbesondere hervorragend geeignet für bewegungstherapeutische Zwecke in Sportzentren, Schulen, Rehabilitationseinrichtungen u.dgl. sowie ganz allgemein zur Körperertüchtigung ohne Verletzungsrisiko und ohne Überbeanspruchung wesentlicher Körperregionen der Spieler.The new indoor or indoor ball sport briefly described in the essentials above is therefore particularly suitable for movement therapy purposes in sports centers, schools, rehabilitation facilities and the like. as well as in general for physical exercise without risk of injury and without overuse of essential body regions of the players.

Im übrigen sind sämtliche Darstellungen in den Fig. 1 und 2 bezüglich Art, Aufbau, Abmessungen und gegenseitiger Zuordnung der einzelnen Bauteile nur rein qualitativ zu betrachten und können im Sinne der technischen Lehre der vorliegenden Erfindung beliebig variiert, ergänzt oder praxisbezogen ausgestaltet werden. Dies betrifft dabei auch die eigentliche Hallenkonstruktion hinsichtlich deren statischer und dynamischer Festigkeit und Steifigkeit gegen Beanspruchungen aus dem Spielbetrieb.Otherwise, all of the representations in FIGS. 1 and 2 with regard to the type, structure, dimensions and mutual assignment of the individual components can only be considered purely qualitatively and can be varied, supplemented or configured in a practical manner within the meaning of the technical teaching of the present invention. This also applies to the actual hall construction with regard to its static and dynamic strength and rigidity against stresses from gaming operations.
