Definitions

  • the present invention concerns a game, in particular a game which can be played either as a game as such or as a sport.
  • the invention concerns a game whereby, on the one hand, a projectile can be shot off and whereby, on the other hand, a projectile can be caught.
  • Games are already known whereby a ball or such thrown by an opponent must be caught by means of a collecting element.
  • the ball is thrown back and forth between two or more players, and this object is subsequently caught by another player by means of a glove, basket or such like.
  • a disadvantage of the above-mentioned games is that the players must stand at a relatively short distance, in other words at the most the possible casting distance, in relation to one another. Moreover, the speed of the ball or such is low in these games, and it is difficult for the player to determine the casting direction, such that the agility of the players is tried but little.
  • the present invention aims a game which mainly consists of the combination of a collecting element, a projectile and means which make it possible to shoot off said projectile.
  • the mutual distance between the players is less restricted, and an extra advantage consists in that, thanks to the use of the means for shooting off a projectile, the players can better determine the trajectory of the projectile.
  • the collecting element and the above-mentioned means for shooting off a projectile are provided on one and the same device, there are a number of extra advantages, namely that the whole can be held in one hand, whereas the other hand is free and may serve to pick up the projectile or to keep one's balance as the projectile is caught and held while it is being shot off.
  • the game according to the invention mainly consists of the combination of two elements of which the first consists of shoot-off means and collecting means for a projectile and the second element consists of the above-mentioned projectile.
  • the game according to the invention mainly consists of two elements, 1 and 2 respectively, which can each work in conjunction with a hand 3 and 4.
  • the element 1 which is meant as it were to shoot off a projectile 2 and to catch this projectile 2 mainly consists of a central part 5 which may have any form whatsoever, but which is circular in the embodiment shown, whereby this central part 5 is surrounded by a reinforcement border 6.
  • This central part 5 is provided on one side with for example male adhering means 7 which are preferably bent somewhat over a whether or not resilient underlayer, in this case in the shape of a sphere segment 8 which is provided to this end on the central part 5.
  • the central part 5 of the element 1 is provided with two protrusions, 15 and 16 respectively, which preferably form a whole with the above-mentioned peripheral border 6, whereby an extensible element, for example an elastic 17, is fixed between the free ends of these protrusions.
  • the two protrusions 15 and 16 may have any form whatsoever and may be whether or not provided with one or several recesses.
  • Figures 5 and 6 represent the second element of the game according to the invention, which consists of the projectile 2 with mainly a spherical head 18 which is extended by two identical, divergent, tail-shaped elements, 19 and 20 respectively.
  • Both the spherical head 18 and the tail-shaped elements 19 and 20 should be preferably made of the same material, in particular an elastic material such as for example rubber, a resilient plastic or such like.
  • the spherical head 18 can be made of an elastic material, whereas the tail-shaped elements 19-20 are made of a hard material.
  • the tail-shaped elements 19 and 20 each consist of a flat part 23 upon which a rib 24 is provided which gradually thickens towards the spherical head 18, whereby the free ends of the tail-shaped elements 19-20 show thickenings in the shape of a cross rib 25.
  • a coating is provided, for example by means of glue, onto which part of the adhering means 26 are provided.
  • the coating in this case has a corrugated edge, as a result of which said coating can be very easily applied on more than half of the head 18.
  • the first element 1 on one hand for example the left hand 3, between the central part 5 of the element 1 and the bands 9 and 10 whereby the band 10 is pulled such that the hand is firmly joined to the element 1.
  • a projectile 2 as represented in the figures 5 and 6 with the tail-shaped elements 19 and 20 is to be provided around the elastic 17 whereby the elastic 17 is placed in the recesses 21 and 22 of the element 2 and whereby the tail-shaped elements 19 and 20, behind the elastic 17, are pressed against one another between thumb and forefinger of the second hand 4 around the elastic 17, whereby the rib-shaped thickenings 25 make sure that the projectile 2 does not shoot off unwanted.
  • the distance between the protrusions 15-16 and the length of these protrusions make it possible for the projectile to fly off freely in relation to the element 1.
  • a second player holds an identical element 1 in his hand and will try to catch the projectile 2 with the central part of his element 1 whereby the adhering means 7 and 26 catch hold of one another at that instant.
  • this second player in turn shoots off the projectile 2 with his element 1 to the first player, etc.
  • Both the adhering means 13-14 on the band 10 and the adhering means 7 and 26 can be made for example of products of the deposited brand VELCRO.
  • Figure 7 shows a variant of the embodiment of the element 1 according to figure 3 whereby this element is provided at the bottom with a grip 27 with which it can be held as the projectile 2 is being shot off and caught.
  • Figures 8 to 10 show another variant of the embodiment of an element 1, whereby in this case a disc 28 is provided in the peripheral border 6, for example by means of glue, which is made of a supple material and which has adhering means 7 at the front side, whereby a star-shaped incision 29 is provided in said disc 28.
  • the disc 28 can be made of any material whatsoever upon which the actual adhering means are applied, but it may also consist of the usual support of such adhering means.
  • the incision 29 may of course have another shape than this represented in the figures, but the incision always starts from the centre of the central part 5 to its perimeter.
  • Every edge of an incision 29 should, as is represented in the drawings by the way, preferably end in a large cylindrical recess which so to say forms a hinge for the flaps 30 situated between the edges.
  • the peripheral border 6 is provided with the elastic 17 which is attached in this case in two points on the peripheral border which are diametrically opposed to one another, in particular in a straight line which goes through the middle of the star-shaped incision 29.
  • the second element which can cooperate with a first element 1 according to figures 8 to 10 may consist of either an element as represented in figures 5 and 6, or an element as represented in figure 11 which merely differs from that in figure 5 in that the ribs 24 are shorter and the recesses 21-22 have been left out.
  • the second player will at this moment try to catch the second element 2 by bringing its spherical head 18, which is provided with adhering means 26, for example female ones, into contact with the adhering means 7, for example male ones, of the element 1.
  • FIGs 14 and 15 show another embodiment whereby the central part 5 can be made for example in the same way as the central part 5 in the embodiment according to figures 1 to 4.
  • two bridges 31-32 are provided on the peripheral border 6 which serve as a support for a pipe 33 upon which a grip 34 is provided between the bridges 31-32.
  • an extensible element for example an elastic 39 which is bent over around a shaft 40 which is fixed in a screw cap 41 with which the free top end of the pipe 33 is sealed, are connected to the pen 37 in a suitable manner, such that the elastic 39 can be replaced.
  • Figure 16 shows a second element of projectile 2 according to the invention which in this case consists of a spherical head or ball 18 which is provided with adhering means 26 which can cooperate with the adhering means 7 of the element 1 and whereby a passage 42 is provided in this projectile 2 whose dimensions are slightly bigger than the outside dimensions of the pipe 33, such that the ball 2 can be slid over the pipe 33.
  • the element 1 is held with the grip 34, whereas the projectile 2 is applied on the pipe 33 and moved downward over this pipe with the second hand, all this such that, as the projectile 2 makes contact with the stop 38 and thus carries it along downward, the elastic 39 is tightened.
  • the element 1 can be made of any material whatsoever, such as wood, plastic or such like.
  • adhering means on the one hand on the first element 1 and on the other hand on the second element 2 which can work in conjunction with one another, it is clear that said adhering means can be replaced by other elements which can work in conjunction with one another, such as for example little suction cups which are provided either on the element 1 or on the element 2.
