Definitions

  • the present invention relates to distractions and in particular to sports activities.
  • a playful device in particular for sporting purposes, which comprises two rigid plates mounted on feet, unfoldable or not, adjustable in height possibly, assembled by fixing lugs to ensure the rigidity of the assembly, having on each of them, several circular orifices arranged symmetrically with respect to the assembly plane and the two assembled plates of which are surmounted by two rigid uprights which hold a flexible mesh net stretched between them, said uprights being held in place in a recess arranged in the edge of each tray.
  • the device according to the present invention allows a multiplicity of modes of execution which differ or which deviate from the practice of the game of table tennis. Thus, it is possible to practice other sports games.
  • the device according to the invention further comprises pucks having a central circular hole. Through this central hole passes a fixing device, such as a chain or a ribbon, connected to the edge of the circular opening.
  • the pucks are intended to close off said circular orifices and the fixing device is used to install or remove, if necessary, the puck from the circular orifice.
  • the circular hole can also remain free so that it can be inserted on a hook or a peg.
  • Each orifice includes, in addition, a flexible mesh basket intended to collect the bale when it has passed through the circular orifices. We can thus retain the balls and recover them easily, preventing them from going too far.
  • Each tray has a section plane so that it is possible - when a tray is removed - to fold them into two symmetrical parts. On the contrary, they can be assembled by fixing lugs and thus kept securely assembled.
  • the feet which support the trays are preferably foldable and / or removable so that they can be removed in order to be able to fold, in two halves, the tray or, on the contrary, fold the feet below the surface of the tray.
  • the circular orifices arranged on the plate are in variable number ranging from 4 to 8, preferably 5 plus or minus 2, arranged on each plate, in a predetermined manner.
  • the number of circular orifices is odd and very particularly of five, namely: two orifices along the thread, an orifice in the center of the plate and two orifices arranged parallel to the bottom line.
  • Each post of the net is formed by a cylindrical or parallelpipedic rod, terminated by a circular pin fixed to the end part of the post which allows the introduction and fixing in each of the recesses.
  • the positioning of the plates blocks the pin in each of the recesses so that the net can no longer move once the two plates are in place and secured.
  • the device according to the invention is used to exercise a sporting activity which consists in sending a ball using a racket of a particular shape and of an appropriate flexibility, over the net and in bringing it into a chosen orifice.
  • the racket an essential means for putting the playful device according to the invention into practice, is formed of a handle and an ovoid body.
  • the body is made of a slightly elastic material such as plywood or impact polystyrene. It is perforated with holes of variable diameters going from the widest, at the periphery, to the narrowest in the center of the racket.
  • the racket handle is short but rigid enough.
  • bale recovery baskets are arranged below each hole.
  • the net attached to it is long enough to receive the ball and flexible enough so that it does not interfere with folding. We can also extract the bullet that would be there.
  • the recovery baskets can be replaced by a central chute in communication with a conduit allowing the recovery of bales.
  • the pucks which close the orifices have an approximately cylindrical shape having, in the center, a hole of small section which allows them to pass a gripping means and in particular the hand or a tool, so as to extract or put them easily in place.
  • the holes can be arranged two by two on a straight line parallel to the axis of the net, or each at a different distance from the longitudinal axis of the net. Furthermore, the lateral circular orifices are arranged symmetrically along two longitudinal axes, joining on each side the orifice close to the thread and the orifice placed on the bottom line.
  • the central hole can be placed in the center of the plate or more or less offset from the center of the plate formed by the point of intersection of the diagonals.
  • the two posts of the net are arranged on either side of the two plates, in symmetrical recesses, of semi-circular shape determined by the assembly of the two plates edge to edge and secured by an assembly hook disposed at the junction on each side of the tray.
  • n ° 1 there is shown, seen from above, the two plates (1) and (1 '), each divided in two by the articulation line (2 ) and (2 ') and having on each plate, in total, five circular orifices (3). There is also shown in section the pucks (4) and (4 '), disengaged from the orifices, suspended on either side of the plates. Also shown is the net (6) seen from above, and the two uprights (7) and (7 '), engaged in their housing.
  • Figure 2 shows, seen from above, each of the two plates (1) and (1 '), the line of articulation (2) and (2') as well as the method of assembling the two plates by a series pins (8) (8 ') and (8' ') distributed regularly along the edge of the plate as well as the semicircular recesses (9) and (9') arranged symmetrically on the outer edge of each of the plates to form , when the two plates (1) and (1 ') are assembled, a channel in which the pins of the amounts of the net are inserted in a non-removable manner, as long as these plates are held in place.
  • the circular orifices each closed, by a puck (10) crossed in its center by an orifice (11).
  • Figure 3 shows, seen from the side, the device according to the invention comprising the two plates (1) and (1 ') rigidly assembled as well as the net (6) whose uprights (7) are engaged in their recess, the articulation line (2) and (2 ') of each of the trays, the vertical uprights (12) (12') (12 '') and 12 '''), arranged at each angle of each of the trays and reinforced by a spacer (13) (13 ') (13'') and (13'''), also inserted in the thickness of the plate.
  • the tray also includes, at its lower part, the baskets (14) (14 ') and (14''), arranged under the tray (1) and the baskets (15) (15') and (15 '') arranged under the plate (1 '), intended to collect the balls when they have penetrated into the circular orifices.
  • the shutter pucks (17) and (17 ') are shown suspended and inserted on a peg with a horizontal branch (16) and (16').
  • Figure 4 shows the front plate (1) with the net (6), presented engaged in its recesses by its uprights (7) and (7 ').
  • the vertical uprights (12) and (12 ') have also been shown with the unfolded spacer (13) and (13').
  • the vertical uprights can be mounted in a vertical plane perpendicular to the plane of the platform (1) or (1 ') or so as to form an obtuse angle to widen the base of support and thus ensure better balance.
  • the number and position of the uprights under the tray (s) may vary depending on the dimensions.
  • the shutter discs (17) are circular in shape with a diameter of 7 to 20 cm and preferably 15 cm, with a hole 1.5 cm in diameter in the center allowing a finger to pass through. to facilitate their handling.
  • the horizontal hook (16) has a rod of a slightly lower section to allow convenient threading. It is articulated so that during folding, it ends up inside the tray.
  • the amounts of the net have a height which ranges from 20 to 30 cm, while the net itself has a decreasing height towards the center.
  • the height of the net varies from 8 cm to 20 cm and preferably from 13 to 21 cm.
  • the bale collection baskets have a height can vary from 10 to 20 cm, preferably 15 cm.
  • each board (1) and (1 ') can vary depending on the nature and number of players and the difficulty of the game. Conveniently, each board will consist of a rigid folding table 100 cm long on 96 cm wide. The feet give a height of 73 cm. Each plate (1) and (1 ') preferably carries 5 circular orifices 15 cm in diameter. The thickness of each plate is chosen so as to guarantee good rigidity to the assembly. It is of the order of 4 to 12 mm.
  • Each tray further comprises an outer belt ensuring the solidity of the assembly.
  • Each tray (1) and (1 ') can be easily articulated and folded, into two panels, for example 96 cm x 50 cm each having a thickness of 8 cm in total.
