Abstract

The strip (5) consists of a first rubber strip (5a) between 30 and 60 cm broad, especially 50 cm broad. The bottom of the first strip is flat and the concave sides curve upwards at a shallow angle from sharp edges. There is a broad square-cut groove in the center portion, which accommodates a second rubber strip (5b), which has a smooth stripe (7) in the middle of its top surface, and a pattern of longitudinal ribs on either side. The edges of the first rubber strip may be reinforced by longitudinal metal rods (6).

Description

Die Erfindung bezieht sich auf eine Spielfeldbegrenzung.The invention relates to a field boundary.

Kinder und Jugendliche werden zum Erlernen von Tennis üblicherweise auf normalen Tennisplätzen trainiert, die in ihren Abmessungen auf Erwachsene ausgelegt sind und an die Bedürfnisse von Anfängern und Kindern nicht optimal angepasst sind. Insbesondere ist die Länge des Spielfeldes für Kinder und Jugendliche zu groß, so daß sie üblicherweise beim Aufschlag nicht an der Grundlinie sondern an der Aufschlaglinie stehen und infolgedessen für den Aufschlag und den Return nicht geschult werden können.Children and teenagers are usually used to learning tennis normal tennis courts trained in their dimensions on adults are designed and not optimal for the needs of beginners and children are adjusted. In particular, the length of the playing field for children and Youngsters too big, so that they usually do not hit the Baseline but stand on the service line and consequently for the Surcharge and return cannot be trained.

Es ist bereits bekannt, Kindern und Jugendlichen ein kleineres Spielfeld dadurch zur Verfügung zu stellen, daß man bei einem normalen Spielfeld die eine Seite des Feldes zwischen Aufschlaglinie und Grundlinie in Querrichtung in der Mitte durch ein Netz abteilt und nur dieses kleinere Feld benutzt. Für absolute Anfänger mag diese Lösung brauchbar sein, nicht aber für bereits etwas fortgeschrittene Schüler, für die das Spielfeld dann nicht ausreichend lang und breit ist.It is already known that children and young people have a smaller playing field to make available that on a normal playing field one side of the Field between the service line and the baseline in the transverse direction in the middle divides a network and only uses this smaller field. For absolute beginners this solution may be useful, but not for more advanced students, for which the playing field is then not sufficiently long and wide.

Der vorliegenden Erfindung liegt die Aufgabe zugrunde, eine Lösung zu finden, die leicht an unterschiedliche Bedürfnisse von Tennisschülern anpaßbar ist.The object of the present invention is to find a solution, which is easily adaptable to different needs of tennis students.

Diese Aufgabe wird gelöst durch die Merkmale des Schutzanspruchs 1.This object is achieved by the features of protection claim 1.

Mit einem als Spielfeldbegrenzung benutzten Materialstreifen, der ausreichend rutschfest und trittfest ist, lassen sich auf einfache Weise die beiden zwischen den Aufschlaglinien und Grundlinien liegenden Felder verkleinern, indem der Materialstreifen jeweils in diesem Feld parallel zur normalen Grundlinie ausgelegt wird. Die beiden Materialstreifen bilden dann die neuen Grundlinien. Vorzugsweise unterteilt man mit diesem Materialstreifen das Feld für Tennisanfänger etwa in der Mitte zwischen Aufschlaglinie und Grundlinie. Da dieser Materialstreifen leicht verschiebbar ist, läßt sich die Größe dieses "reduzierten" Tennisfeldes leicht an die Bedürfnisse des Schülers anpassen. Für Jugendliche wird man den Streifen näher an der normalen Grundlinie plazieren als für Kinder. Es ist beabsichtigt, ein derartiges "reduziertes" Tennisfeld als Normfeld für Jugendliche und Kinder publik zu machen, wobei dann die Unterteilung exakt in der Mitte zwischen Aufschlaglinie und Grundlinie vorgenommen wird, also nicht variabel gestaltet ist.With a material strip used as a boundary of the field, the sufficient is non-slip and non-slip, the two can be easily between the Reduce service lines and baseline fields by using the Strips of material laid out in this field parallel to the normal baseline becomes. The two strips of material then form the new baselines. Preferably one divides with this material strip the field for tennis beginners approximately in the Middle between service line and baseline. Because this strip of material is light can be moved, the size of this "reduced" tennis field can easily be compared to that Customize student needs. For teenagers you get closer to the strip place on the normal baseline as for children. It is intended to be a such "reduced" tennis court as a standard field for young people and children to make, the division then exactly in the middle between the service line and baseline is made, so it is not variable.

Eine bevorzugte Weiterbildung der oben angesprochenen Spielfeldbegrenzung ist in Anspruch 2 angegeben. Durch die relativ weiche, auf dem Boden zu liegen kommende untere Schicht wird für eine ausreichende Rutschfestigkeit des Materialstreifens gesorgt, während die mit höherer Festigkeit ausgebildete Oberschicht für ausreichende Trittfestigkeit und Wetterbeständigkeit sorgt. A preferred further development of the field limitation mentioned above is specified in claim 2. Due to the relatively soft to lie on the floor coming lower layer is for sufficient slip resistance of the Strips of material catered for, while those trained with higher strength The upper layer ensures sufficient tread resistance and weather resistance.

Die in Anspruch 3 angegebene Riffelung in Längsrichtung gibt dem Materialstreifen nicht nur ein gefälligeres Aussehen, sondern sorgt auch für eine verbesserte Trittfestigkeit.The corrugation in the longitudinal direction specified in claim 3 gives the material strip not only a more pleasing look, but also provides an improved Impact resistance.

Die in Anspruch 4 angesprochene Profilgebung mit zu den Kanten hin abfallender Dicke reduziert die Stolpergefahr. Eine maximale Wandstärke in der Mitte von 2 bis 4 mm erscheint ausreichend.The profile mentioned in claim 4 with falling towards the edges Thickness reduces the risk of tripping. A maximum wall thickness in the middle of 2 to 4 mm seems sufficient.

Das Merkmal des Anspruches 5 erscheint nur bei extremen Belastungen erforderlich, wenn nämlich die Gefahr besteht, daß sich die äußeren Ränder bei längerem Gebrauch aufbördeln. Der im Anspruch 6 dazu angegebene Bleistreifen ist hierzu eine bevorzugte Weiterbildung.The feature of claim 5 appears only with extreme loads Required when there is a risk that the outer edges at flare for long periods of use. The lead strip specified in claim 6 is a preferred further training for this.

Anhand der Zeichnung wird die Neuerung weiter erläutert. Es zeigen:

Ein normales Tennisfeld weist zu beiden Seiten des Netzes 1 zwei gleich große Felder 2a und 2b auf, die jeweils zwischen der Grundlinie 3 und dem Netz 1 durch eine Aufschlaglinie 4 hälftig unterteilt sind. Zur Begrenzung des normalen Spielfeldes ist jeweils zwischen der Aufschlaglinie 4 und der Grundlinie 3 ein Materialstreifen 5 bzw. einer Materialnabe 5, über die gesamte Breite des Spielfeldes ausgelegt. Dieser Materialstreifen 5 besteht aus einem aufrollbaren Gummiband, wie es im Querschnitt in Figur 2 dargestellt ist. Dieses Gummiband ist aus zwei Schichten, die fest miteinander vulkanisiert sind, aufgebaut, nämlich einer unteren relativ weichen Schicht 5a und einer oberen härteren Schicht 5b. Für die untere Schicht 5a kann auch ein gummiartiges Schaummaterial benutzt werden, da diese Schicht 5a nur für die nötige Rutschfestigkeit zu sorgen hat und keiner weiteren Beanspruchung ausgesetzt ist. Die obere Schicht 5b hingegen muß ausreichend abriebfest und wetterbeständig sein. Die Breite des Materialbandes beträgt zwischen 30 und 60 cm, vorzugsweise 50 cm. Das Profil ist etwa halblinsenförmig ausgebildet und in Längsrichtung mit Materialrillen versehen. In Längsrichtung ist ein vorzugsweise weißer Streifen 7 aufgedruckt oder eingelassen, während das übrige Material farbig gestaltet ist.A normal tennis court has two of the same size on both sides of the net 1 Fields 2a and 2b, each between the baseline 3 and the network 1 through a service line 4 are divided in half. To limit the normal The playing field is between the service line 4 and the base line 3 Material strip 5 or a material hub 5, over the entire width of the Playing field. This material strip 5 consists of a rollable Rubber band, as shown in cross section in Figure 2. This rubber band is made up of two layers that are firmly vulcanized together, namely one lower, relatively soft layer 5a and an upper, harder layer 5b. For the lower layer 5a, a rubber-like foam material can also be used, since this layer 5a only has to provide the necessary slip resistance and none is exposed to further stress. The upper layer 5b, however, must be sufficiently resistant to abrasion and weather. The width of the ribbon is between 30 and 60 cm, preferably 50 cm. The profile is about semi-lens-shaped and provided with material grooves in the longitudinal direction. A preferably white strip 7 is printed in the longitudinal direction or embedded, while the rest of the material is colored.

Im Bedarfsfall kann, wie gestrichelt angedeutet, an den äußeren Rändern auch noch eine drahtförmige runde oder im Querschnitt rechteckförmige Versteifung 6, vorzugsweise aus Metall oder auch zur Beschwerung aus Blei eingearbeitet sein. Gegebenenfalls kann auch noch zwischen die beiden Schichten eine Textilschicht eingebettet sein, die das Band ausreichend reißfest macht.If necessary, as indicated by dashed lines, can also on the outer edges another wire-shaped stiffening 6 which is round or rectangular in cross section, preferably made of metal or lead for weighting. If necessary, there can also be a textile layer between the two layers be embedded, which makes the tape sufficiently tear-resistant.
