Description

La présente invention est relative à un élément de jeu, tel qu'un réceptacle, pour jeu de balle.The present invention relates to a game element, such as a receptacle, for a ball game.

Un exemple d'un tel jeu de balle est notamment décrit dans le document US-A-4 017 076. Le joueur est muni d'un élément de jeu ou réceptacle rigide comportant une bride dans laquelle le joueur glisse une de ses mains, de telle sorte que ce réceptacle repose dans la paume de celle-ci. Sur la face avant du réceptacle rigide, est disposée une couche d'un tissu réalisé en un matériau autoaccrochant, un espace existant entre cette couche et le fond du réceptacle.An example of such a ball game is described in particular in document US-A-4,017,076. The player is provided with a rigid playing element or receptacle comprising a strap in which the player slides one of his hands, such that this receptacle rests in the palm thereof. On the front face of the rigid receptacle, a layer of fabric made of a self-adhesive material is arranged, a space existing between this layer and the bottom of the receptacle.

Un tel réceptacle de l'art antérieur présente l'inconvénient majeur d'être fragile et de pouvoir se casser à tout moment, notamment lors de la réception d'un projectile lancé : ceci risque de blesser gravement la main du joueur.Such a receptacle of the prior art has the major drawback of being fragile and of being able to break at any time, in particular when receiving a projectile launched: this risks seriously injuring the player's hand.

Aussi un des buts de la présente invention estil de procurer un élément de jeu tel qu'un réceptable réellement incassable.Also one of the aims of the present invention is to provide a play element such as a receptacle which is truly unbreakable.

Un autre but de l'invention est de procurer un tel élement de jeu qui soit de conception simple, pratique et de coût faible.Another object of the invention is to provide such a play element which is of simple, practical design and of low cost.

Ces buts, ainsi que d'autres qui apparaîtront par la suite, sont atteints par un élément de jeu ou réceptacle pour jeu de balle, caractérisé selon la présente invention par le fait qu'il est constitué par une pochette souple circulaire dont la face arrière est munie d'une sangle permettant à cette pochette de reposer sur la paume d'une main d'un joueur, dont la face avant est recouverte d'un tissu autoaccrochant et qui comporte dans sa partie intérieure un boudin périphérique.These aims, as well as others which will appear subsequently, are achieved by a game element or receptacle for a ball game, characterized according to the present invention by the fact that it is constituted by a flexible circular pouch, the rear face of which is provided with a strap allowing this pouch to rest on the palm of a player's hand, the front face of which is covered with a self-adhesive fabric and which comprises in its inner part a peripheral flange.

Avantageusement, cette pochette souple comporte sur sa paroi latérale une ouverture partielle munie d'une fermeture, par exemple à glissière.Advantageously, this flexible pouch has on its side wall a partial opening provided with a closure, for example with a slide.

Selon un mode de réalisation préféré de la présente invention, le boudin périphérique est gonflable et amovible. Il peut avantageusement comporter un disque réalisé en un matériau léger.According to a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the peripheral tube is inflatable and removable. It can advantageously include a disc made of a light material.

De préférence, la hauteur de la pochette est sensiblement celle du boudin périphérique.Preferably, the height of the pocket is substantially that of the peripheral flange.

La description qui va suivre, et qui ne présente aucun caractère limitatif, doit être lue en regard des figures annexées, parmi lesquelles :

  • la figure 1 est une vue en perspective d'un réceptacle selon la présente invention;
  • la figure 2 est une vue arrière du réceptacle, et
  • la figure 3 est une coupe selon l'axe III-III de la figure 2.
The description which follows, and which is in no way limiting, must be read with reference to the appended figures, among which:
  • Figure 1 is a perspective view of a receptacle according to the present invention;
  • FIG. 2 is a rear view of the receptacle, and
  • FIG. 3 is a section along the axis III-III of FIG. 2.

Ainsi qu'on peut le voir sur ces figures, un élément de jeu de type réceptacle pour jeu de balle est constitué par une pochette souple, désignée dans son ensemble par la référence 1 : cette pochette comprend une face avant 2, une face arrière 3, et une paroi latérale 4 reliant les faces avant et arrière. Ces faces sont réalisées en un matériau souple, par exemple en une toile imperméabilisée.As can be seen in these figures, a receptacle-type game element for a ball game is constituted by a flexible pouch, generally designated by the reference 1: this pouch comprises a front face 2, a rear face 3 , and a side wall 4 connecting the front and rear faces. These faces are made of a flexible material, for example a waterproof canvas.

La face avant 2 est recouverte par un tissu autoaccrochant 5, tel que celui commercialisé sous la marque déposée VELCRO. Ainsi le projectile, une balle par exemple, recouverte d'un tissu de même type pourra-t-elle être maintenue en position sur ce réceptacle lors de sa réception.The front face 2 is covered by a self-adhesive fabric 5, such as that sold under the registered trademark VELCRO. Thus the projectile, a bullet for example, covered with a fabric of the same type could it be held in position on this receptacle during its reception.

La face arrière 3 est munie, selon un axe, d'une sangle 9 à longueur réglable par tout moyen connu, permettant à un joueur de glisser une de ses mains entre cette sangle et la face arrière : le réceptacle se trouve ainsi en appui contre la paume de cette main.The rear face 3 is provided, along an axis, with a strap 9 of adjustable length by any known means, allowing a player to slide one of his hands between this strap and the rear face: the receptacle is thus in abutment the palm of that hand.

La pochette souple 1 comporte, dans sa partie intérieure un boudin périphérique 6, qui est en contact avec les faces avant 2, arrière 3 et latérale 4 : la hauteur de la pochette est donc déterminée par la hauteur de ce boudin gonflable 6.The flexible pouch 1 has, in its inner part, a peripheral flange 6, which is in contact with the front 2, rear 3 and lateral 4 faces: the height of the pouch is therefore determined by the height of this inflatable flange 6.

On comprendra aisément que lorsqu'un projectile vient frapper la face avant 2 de cette pochette souple 1, l'espace intérieur créé par le boudin 6 permet d'encaisser le choc de ce projectile.It will be readily understood that when a projectile strikes the front face 2 of this flexible pouch 1, the interior space created by the flange 6 allows the impact of this projectile to be absorbed.

Selon un mode de réalisation préféré de l'invention, la pochette souple 1 comprend sur sa paroi latérale 4 une ouverture 7 qui est munie d'une fermeture, par exemple à glissière. Cette ouverture 7 s'étend sur une partie de la circonférence de la paroi latérale 4. Dans un tel mode de réalisation, il est avantageux que le boudin gonflable 6 soit amovible de telle façon à pouvoir être extrait de la pochette 1 et être utilisé comme élément de jeu. Ce boudin gonflable 6 peut même comporter un disque 8 en un tissu léger.According to a preferred embodiment of the invention, the flexible pouch 1 comprises on its side wall 4 an opening 7 which is provided with a closure, for example with a slide. This opening 7 extends over part of the circumference of the side wall 4. In such an embodiment, it is advantageous that the inflatable tube 6 is removable so that it can be removed from the bag 1 and be used as playing element. This inflatable tube 6 may even include a disc 8 made of a light fabric.
