Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a manufacturing process a figurine for table games like table football.
  • Such table games include a horizontal plate, most often supported by feet, forming the playing field.
  • This board has a shape rectangular and it is bordered by surrounding walls maintaining the ball on the playing area.
  • longitudinal enclosure rotatably support bars horizontal maneuvers arranged above the platform and on which are attached figures representing players.
  • these figurines are produced by molding first of all a roughly dimensioned outline identical to those of the final figurine.
  • This draft can be molded either around the maneuvering bar or within a separate mold. In the latter case, the draft is forced up on the bar.
  • the number of blanks arranged on this bar depends on the position occupied by the latter on the board game.
  • the subject of the invention is a process for manufacturing a figurine which allows to increase production rates, and to reduce the cost price unitary.
  • the invention relates to a method of manufacture of a table football game figurine, in which one molds a blank of said figurine and makes said blank integral with an operating bar of said set of table, in particular by molding the blank on the bar in a first mold, characterized in that at least one is molded first additional element of said figurine in a second mold independent, at least one other additional element is molded in a another independent mold, and immobilize the or each first additional element on the draft by means of the other (s) additional element (s) that are attached to the blank.
  • the invention also relates to a figurine for play table football type, characterized in that it comprises a blank integral with an operating bar of said set of table, and at least a first additional element produced separately of the blank and reported on said blank, the or each first additional element being immobilized on the blank by means at least one other additional element produced separately from the blank and attached to said blank.
  • the subject of the invention is also a table game of the type table football, including a tray, surrounding enclosure walls the plate and, mounted with free pivoting, bars supporting figurines, characterized in that the figurines are as described above.
  • the upper terms, lower, front and rear refer to a figurine in standing position, namely the position it naturally occupies on the table game, at rest.
  • the figurine shown in Figure 1 and designated in its together by reference 2 includes a blank 4 on which are fixed several additional elements 6. These are intended to respectively form the feet 6A, the 6B socks, 6C thighs, 6D shorts, 6E jersey and the hair 6F of the figurine 2.
  • the blank 4 is produced, in a conventional manner, around an operating bar not shown in Figure 1 but designated by reference 8 in the following figures, by molding within a first mold 9 shown diagrammatically in FIG. 1, the bar 8 forming an insert during molding.
  • first mold 9 shown diagrammatically in FIG. 1, the bar 8 forming an insert during molding.
  • roughing can be done independently, then force-fitted to the operating bar.
  • This blank 4 comprises an upper part 4A and a lower part 4B arranged on either side of the bar 8.
  • the upper part 4A comprises, immediately above the bar 8, a curved portion 10 whose shape is intended for recall the human torso.
  • This part 10 is provided with a lower notch 10A of a shape complementary to that of the bar and two sets of four 10B indentations arranged with on either side of the median frontal plane P of the figurine. These recesses define between them ribs 10C of stiffening.
  • the convex part 10 is terminated, upwards, by a end portion 12 comprising a portion approximately hemispherical 12A with concavity directed towards the rear, completed by a summit flat 12B projecting rearwards, at from portion 12A which is intended to form the face of the figurine.
  • a cylindrical sleeve 13 projects rearward from this semi-circular portion 12A.
  • the lower portion 4B of the blank includes an area semi-cylindrical 14 thinned in contact with the bar maneuver 8, below which extends a core 16 located in the frontal, median plane and of substantially trapezoidal shape.
  • This core 16 has a cylindrical central part full 17 and is thinned in the sagittal plane P 'of the figurine by forming two sails 18 extending radially to from this part 17 in the plane P '.
  • Core 16 has also several horizontal flanges 19 provided notches 19A on their front face. They assume a transverse holding function of the ancillary elements, such as this will be explained with reference to Figures 2 and 3.
  • the lower portion 4B is extended, downwards, by two legs 20 arranged on either side of the sagittal plane P ' of the figurine. Each of these legs 20 is terminated by a rim 22 undercut.
  • the feet 6A have a shape of a pyramid section flaring up. They are hollowed out with an axial opening 24 through a substantially rectangular section, which has two shoulders 26 made at its end lower.
  • Elements 6B, 6C and 6D have an overall shape frustoconical and annular with internal dimensions correspond to those of the flanges 19 of the blank 4, on which they are intended to support, such as show in particular Figures 2 and 3.
  • the 6D short is in in addition provided, on both sides of the sagittal plane P ', of two upper semicircular notches 28 intended to cooperate with the operating bar 8.
  • the front face of these elements 6B to 6D is provided with projections 27 directed inwards, intended to cooperate with the notches 19A of the flanges 19.
  • the fixing of elements 6A to 6D on the blank 4 consists first of all successively thread the elements 6D, 6C then 6B along the flanges 19.
  • the joint presence of notches 19A and protrusions 27 allow for coding of the user during this assembly phase.
  • the flanges 22 in undercut of these legs 20 cooperate with the shoulders 26 corresponding feet 6A, so that these are fixed to the blank 4 by elastic snap-fastening, and then fix the elements 6B to 6D in place.
  • this attachment is removable since it is possible for the user to access the ledges 22, since the opening 24 formed in the feet 6A is through.
  • the 6D short is maintained axially in a first direction by the operating bar 8 and in the opposite direction by the other elements, above which it is stacked.
  • Elements 6B and 6C are held axially back and forth by the items immediately to them adjacent. These elements 6B to 6D are also immobilized transversely by the flanges 19 formed on the blank 4.
  • the blank 4 is in contact with the elements 6A to 6D only at part of its outer periphery, in this case the flanges 19 and legs 20. So the figurine once mounted has recesses 30 made between the blank and the ancillary elements and which are in particular visible in FIGS. 2 and 3.
  • Element 6E forming the jersey of figurine 2 presents a shape complementary to that of the envelope of the part convex 10 of the blank 4.
  • This element 6E is provided with a upper orifice 32 whose transverse dimensions are greater than those of the end portion 12, so that this element 6E can be threaded onto the convex part 10 without its movement is not hampered by the end part 12.
  • Element 6E also includes lower notches 34 intended to cooperate with the operating bar 8.
  • 6F hair has a roughly hemispherical portion 36 with forward-facing concavity, the dimensions of which are slightly larger than portion 12A so that make possible a mutual nesting of these two portions.
  • the portion 36 of the hair 6F is finished, at its part upper, by a flat 38 intended to rest on that 12B which is provided with the end portion 12.
  • the positive fixing hair 6F on the blank 4 is provided by of a pin 40 projecting forward from the portion 36, and penetrating by force within the cylindrical sleeve 13, as shown in Figures 2 and 3.
  • the 6F hair once fixed on the blank, ensures the maintenance axial of the jersey 6E, by linear support of the lower end 6F hair on part of the end upper of the jersey 6E.
  • the element 6E forming the jersey is further immobilized in the opposite direction by the bar operation 8 and transversely by the ribs 10C of the blank 4.
  • the hair may be part of the draft 4 and therefore came integrally with the part domed 10.
  • the hair has restricted dimensions allowing the passage of the 6E jersey, and the face is formed by an annex element fixed on the hair, for example by cooperation of a pawn and a socket analogous to those described above.
  • the invention makes it possible to achieve the objectives previously mentioned. Indeed, the quantity of material necessary for the completion of the draft is significantly lower than that used in the processes of the prior art, in particular due to the presence of the recesses 30, 42 and 44. This draft therefore presents a cost price and a time of reduced manufacturing.
  • the figurine according to the invention has a great modularity, since the user is able to choose the color of the ancillary elements that compose it. In the case where these are removably attached, the same draft can therefore allow the production of figurines different, depending on what is reported there.
