Definitions

  • the present invention relates to the field of ball games in which players have to pick up one or more balls.
  • the object of the present invention is to propose a device for collecting balls which prevents the player from bending down to perform this operation and which allows him to easily have one or all the bullets present in the device.
  • the bale collecting device includes means for gripping a ball placed on the ground, a means of storing a plurality of balls, and means for bringing the balls up to the level of the user's hand.
  • the storage means is provided a side window and a flexible wall, so that the edges of the window be able to move aside to let a bullet pass.
  • the invention applies to different types of balls, such as balls golf, tennis balls, ping pong balls, etc.
  • the player can use the pick-up device without bending down and thus dispose a reserve of balls that he can grab, at his height, one by one by the window.
  • the means of grip includes a size opening suitable for balls and provided with at least one flexible lug capable of leaving the balls in the direction of entry and to oppose their exit. So all the bullets picked up pass successively in the opening of the means of gripping, the bale being picked up causing the bales to rise previously picked up.
  • the storage means includes a vertical cylinder adapted to receive a plurality of bullets.
  • the cylinder may include, at its upper end, a opening larger in diameter than a bullet. We can thus quickly empty the device of all the balls it contains, by example, in a shopping cart used by a teacher in group lessons.
  • the device pickup includes a handle.
  • the handle can be attached to the cylinder on the side opposite the window. This facilitates gripping shot through said window.
  • the handle includes an adjustment mechanism of its height, making it possible to adapt the collection device to players of different sizes.
  • the handle may include a rod slidably mounted in a tube of corresponding section, integral with the storage means, and provided with a plurality of holes, the rod comprising a lug able to protrude elastically into the holes to block the rod relative to the tube.
  • the tube is of section square to obtain good rigidity.
  • the lug can be mounted on a leaf spring mounted in a hollow of the rod. The player wishing change the height of the handle of the device presses with a finger on the pin so as to bring it into the hollow of the rod and release the corresponding bore from the tube. It then exerts a traction or a push on the handle which moves longitudinally by compared to the tube, the lug no longer being in front of a bore. Ergot made again protrusion when it appears before the next hole. The locking the handle relative to the tube is thus automatic.
  • the cylinder of the collection device can be produced by example in a portion of tube made of elastic synthetic material, the window being obtained either directly during molding of the material synthetic, either later by cutting.
  • the lugs of the gripping means can also be made of flexible synthetic material and come from a single piece end of the device, fixed to the cylinder. We could also consider making the end piece in one piece with the cylinder.
  • the ball collector comprises a cylinder 1 with circular section provided with an opening upper 2 and a lower opening 3.
  • the upper opening 2 is of the same diameter as the inside of cylinder 1 or can, in variant, be slightly narrower.
  • the lower opening 3 includes a plurality of pins 4 directed inwards and outwards top of cylinder 1 and evenly distributed around opening 3.
  • the cylinder 1 made of synthetic material having a certain elasticity and low weight, includes a window 5 of shape elongated parallel to the axis of cylinder 1, and separated from the openings upper 2 and lower 3.
  • the ball collector also includes a handle 6 integral with a sole 7 fixed to two open rings 8, surrounding the cylinder 1 between window 5 and upper opening 2. Handle 6 is provided on the opposite side to that of window 5. A support 9 is provided under the handle 6, substantially halfway up the window 5 and is capable of receiving an object, such as a water bottle 10.
  • bales 11 can be stored in the pick-up balls in the following way.
  • a player wants to pick up balls scattered on the play area, he grabs the handle 6 of the pickup and comes place it over a ball. It exerts a slight pressure on the pickup, which causes the ball to enter through the opening lower 3 and the erasure of the pins 4 against the wall of the cylinder 1.
  • the pins 4 return to their original inclined shape, for example at 45 °, towards the center and up from cylinder 1.
  • balls 11 are already present when a new bullet enters, the latter push the other balls 11 up.
  • the bale collector is of lower capacity than that of FIGS. 1 and 2.
  • the handle 6 is provided with a telescopic mechanism 12 comprising a section tube square 13 integral with cylinder 1 and disposed on the side opposite the window 5, and a rod 14 also with a square section of dimension adapted for slide in the tube 13, and secured to the handle 6.
  • the tube 13 is provided with a plurality of holes 15 arranged on the opposite side to the cylinder 1.
  • the rod 14 comprises a lug 16 and a leaf spring 17 mounted in a hollow, not shown, of the rod 14.
  • the spring 17 is shown. as projecting from the rod 14. It is obvious that the spring 17 must be housed in a hollow of the rod 14 so that the latter can enter the tube 13 and slide inside.
  • the lug 16 is capable of being completely erased in the hollow of the rod 14, but tends to protrude from the hollow under the pressure of the spring 17.
  • One end of the spring 17 is fixed for example by riveting or by screwing into the rod 14. The lug 16 is secured to the other end spring 17.
  • handle 6 For transporting the pickup in a sports bag, we retract handle 6 completely so as to reduce the overall dimensions all of said pickup. You can even mount the handle 6 and the rod 14 to upside down in the tube 13, the handle 6 being oriented above the upper opening 2. The handle 6 which is completely retracted located near the upper opening 2, which can thus be closed, the balls 11 being blocked by the handle 6. In this configuration, the lateral and longitudinal dimensions of the pick-up is very reduced.
  • the ball collector adapts to different people sizes while remaining low in weight, economical, low size and can store a large number of balls.
