Abstract

The handball game mat called "Vip Flipp" is a piece of sporting equipment. Two handles are mounted to the left and right of a woven cloth mat of approximately 60 cm long and 25 cm wide. In the center of said mat, two retention balls are affixed on the lateral edges. A ball is placed in the loose mat. The mat is immediately tensioned by jerking and stretching both handles. The energy thus generated is transmitted to the ball. Depending on the force exerted, the ball is thrown at a distance or into the air. The shape of the mat can be very rapidly transformed into various catch pouches while the ball is in the air. The Vip Flipp game can be played by individual players, in pairs or groups. The Vip Flipp game can be played in swimming pools, at the beach, in sports stadiums, etc. The Vip Flipp game can be rolled up. The ball consists of a semi-soft plastic material thereby precluding any possible injuries. The game can also be played with other balls such as tennis balls, golf balls or the like and small beach balls.

In the longitudinal center of the track is a recess in which a game ball is inserted to spin, which can then be collected in the recess.

Die US 5 301 954 A vermittelt ein Wurf- und Fanggerät für einen Spielball, insbesondere einen Wasserball. An einem rahmenförmigen Gestell ist ein Fangnetz oder Fangtuch eingehängt, mit dem der Spielball durch manuelle ein- oder zweihändige Bewegungen hochgeworfen und aufgefangen werden kann.The US 5 301 954 A provides a throwing and fishing gear for a game ball, especially a beach ball. On a frame-shaped frame a safety net or catching cloth is hung, with which the ball can be thrown up by manual one- or two-handed movements and collected.

Durch die US 4 938 484 ist eine Schleudervorrichtung bekannt, die ein an zwei Stangen befestigtes Wurftuch aufweist, von welchem ein Spielball weggeschleudert und durch ein ausgebreitetes Wurftuch aufgefangen werden kann. Die das Wurftuch haltenden Stangen weisen verlängerte freie Enden auf, an denen jeweils ein Handgriff befestigt ist, so dass das Wurftuch zum Schleudern des Spielballs durch die Stangen geschwungen und danach zum Auffangen des Spielballs ausgebreitet werden kann.By the US 4,938,484 a spinning device is known which has a fixed to two rods throwing cloth, from which a ball can be thrown and collected by a spreading towel. The bars holding the towelette have extended free ends, to each of which a handle is attached, so that the toweling cloth can be swung to spin the game ball through the bars and then spread out to catch the ball.

Ein gattungsverwandtes Spielgerät nach der US 4 234 183 A besteht aus einem rechteckförmigen netzartigen Band, an dessen Enden jeweils ein Handgriff befestigt ist und das zwischen den Handgriffen eine durch einen Ring gebildete Ausnhmung aufweist, in der ein Spielball zum Hochwerfen eingelegt und nach dem Wurf aufgefangen resp. in der Ausnehmung wieder positioniert wird.A generic game device according to US 4,234,183 A consists of a rectangular net-like band, at the ends of each a handle is attached and having between the handles formed by a ring Ausnhmung in which inserted a ball for throwing up and collected after the throw respectively. is positioned in the recess again.

Die DE 574 792 C erklärt ein für zwei Personen bestimmtes Zweikampfspiel mit einem Rollball, das ein in der Längsmitte am Boden mittels Querstangen verankertes Spanntuch aufweist, an dessen freien Enden Griffstangen zum Verwinden des Spanntuches angebracht sind.DE 574 792 C explains a two-man game with a rolling ball, which has an anchored in the middle of the floor at the bottom by means of crossbars Spangen, at the free ends of the handle bars for twisting the tension cloth are attached.

Aufgabe der vorliegenden Erfindung ist es, ein Sportgerät der eingangs beschriebenen Art so auszugestalten, dass beim Spielen auf einfache Weise nicht nur ein ungewolltes Wegrollen jedes beliebigen Spielballs aus der Matte verhindert wird, sondern auch individuelle Fangtechniken geübt werden können.Object of the present invention is to provide a sports equipment of the type described above in such a way that when playing in a simple manner not only an unintentional rolling any game ball is prevented from the mat, but also individual fishing techniques can be practiced.

Erfindungsgemäss wird diese Aufgabe dadurch gelöst, dass mittig zwischen den Handgriffen beidseits im Randbereich an einer Flachseite der Matte jeweils zwei beabstandete Retentionselemente befestigt sind. Dadurch ist es möglich, ein sicheres Ballgefühl und eine präzisere Ballbehandlung zu entwickeln.According to the invention, this object is achieved in that two spaced-apart retention elements are mounted centrally between the handles on both sides in the edge region on a flat side of the mat. This makes it possible to develop a secure ball feel and a more precise ball treatment.

Damit der Spielball im Bereich der Retentionselemente leicht geführt werden kann, sind letztere vorteilhaft als über die eine Flachseite der Matte vorstehende Kugeln oder Zylinder ausgebildet.So that the game ball can be easily guided in the area of the retention elements, the latter are advantageously designed as projecting balls or cylinders over the one flat side of the mat.

Vorzugsweise ist der Durchmesser der Kugeln oder der Zylinder kleiner als der Spielball ausgebildet, sodass dieser in den Bewegungen auf der Matte nicht gehindert wird.Preferably, the diameter of the balls or the cylinder is made smaller than the play ball, so that it is not hindered in the movements on the mat.

Als Werkstoff der Kugeln oder Zylinder eignet sich Holz, Kunststoff, Gummi oder Metall.The material of the balls or cylinders is wood, plastic, rubber or metal.

Anschliessend wird die Erfindung unter Bezugnahme auf die Zeichnung, auf die bezüglich aller in der Beschreibung nicht näher erwähnten Einzelheiten verwiesen wird, anhand eines Ausführungsbeispiels erläutert. Es zeigen:

Fig. 1
eine schematische Darstellung einer schlaff hängenden Matte mit einem aufgelegten Spielball und
Fig. 2
eine räumliche Darstellung der in Fig. 1 veranschaulichten, mit den Händen eines Spielers an Handgriffen erfassten Matte.
Subsequently, the invention will be explained with reference to the drawing, to which reference is made with respect to all unspecified details in the description, based on an embodiment. Show it:
Fig. 1
a schematic representation of a flaccid hanging mat with an attached ball and
Fig. 2
a spatial representation of the illustrated in Fig. 1, mat gripped with the hands of a player on handles.

Die Fig. 2 zeigt eine an zwei Handgriffen 2 schlaff hängende Matte 1 auf der etwa mittig ein aus halbweichem Kunststoff gebildeter Spielball 3 in der Grösse eines Tennisballs liegt. Beim Aufprall springt dieser Spielball jedoch nur ein- bis zweimal nach.
Die Matte 1 ist aus Stoffgewebe, Kunststoffaser, einer Kunststoffblache oder einem ähnlichen Material gefertigt. An den schmalen Enden der Matte 1 ist jeweils ein Handgriff 2 aus einem Rundholz, aus Kunststoff oder Metall befestigt, der einen Durchmesser von ca. 3 cm aufweist.Fig. 2 shows a two handles 2 flaccid hanging mat 1 on the approximately centrally formed of a semi-soft plastic game ball 3 is the size of a tennis ball. On impact, however, this game ball jumps only once or twice.
The mat 1 is made of cloth fabric, plastic fiber, a Kunststoffblache or similar material. At the narrow ends of the mat 1 is in each case a handle 2 made of a round wood, made of plastic or metal attached, which has a diameter of about 3 cm.

Fig. 1 zeigt schematisch die schlaff hängende Matte 1 auf der ein Spielball 3 zwischen zwei in einem Randbereich an einer Flachseite der Matte 1 distanzierten Kugeln 4 oder Zylindern liegt. Der Abstand der Kugeln 4 oder Zylinder beträgt etwa 8 cm. Die Kugeln 4 oder Zylinder, die ein ungewolltes Wegrollen des Spielballs 3 von der Matte 1 verhindern, sind aus Holz, Kunststoff, Gummi oder Metall gefertigt. Dank der Kugeln 4 kann der Spielball 3 nach dem Hochschleudern durch geschicktes Verdrehen der Matte 1 aus der Luft aufgefangen werden. Geübte Spieler können die Matte umdrehen, so dass die Kugeln 4 oder Zylinder nach unten zeigen und das Spielen mit der glatten Rückenfläche der Matte 1 durch Balancieren des Spielballs 3 erfolgt.Fig. 1 shows schematically the flaccid hanging mat 1 on which a game ball 3 between two in an edge region on a flat side of the mat 1 distant balls 4 or cylinders. The distance of the balls 4 or cylinder is about 8 cm. The balls 4 or cylinder, which prevent unintentional rolling of the game ball 3 of the mat 1, are made of wood, plastic, rubber or metal. Thanks to the balls 4 of the ball 3 can be collected after the spin-up by skillful twisting of the mat 1 from the air. Experienced players can turn the mat over so that the balls 4 or cylinders point downwards and play with the smooth back surface of the mat 1 is done by balancing the game ball 3.

Es können unterschiedliche Möglichkeiten in der Spieltechnik mit der Matte 1 und dem Spielball 3 angewendet werden, wobei die Matte 1 beispielsweise von einer Person mit jeweils einer Hand an einem Handgriff 2 gehalten wird, so dass die Matte schlaff nach unten hängt, wie dies beispielsweise die Fig. 1 zeigt. Durch ein Schnelles Auseinanderziehen der Handgriffe 2 wird die schlaffe Matte 1 gespannt, so dass der daraufliegende Spielball 3 hochgeschleudert wird. Durch ein Zusammenführen der Handgriffe 2 erschlafft die Matte 1 zu einer Lasche resp. Fangtasche, mit der der Spielball 3 sanft aufgefangen werden kann.
Zu Beginn des Spiels wird der Spielball 3 in die schlaff hängende Matte 1 eingelegt und danach durch schnelles Auseinanderziehen der Handgriffe 2 in die Höhe geschleudert. D.h., die gestreckte Matte 1 wird beim anschliessenden Aufprall des herunterfallenden Spielballes 3 sofort entspannt. Dadurch kann die Wucht des auftreffenden Spielballs 3 sanft abgebremst resp. gedämpft werden. Die Retentionskugeln 4 hindern den Spielball 3 bei schlaffer Matte 1 vor dem seitlichen Herunterfallen. Der Spielball 3 kann aus dieser Lage wieder sofort in die Luft geschleudert werden. Durch die Möglichkeit des Verdrehens der Matte 1 können verschiedene individuelle Fangtechniken angewendet werden.It can be applied to the mat 1 and the game ball 3 different ways in the game technique, the mat 1 is held for example by a person with one hand on a handle 2, so that the mat hangs down flaccid, as for example the Fig. 1 shows. By quickly pulling the handles 2, the slack mat 1 is stretched, so that the ball lying on it 3 is thrown up. Through a Merging the handles 2, the mat 1 slackens to a tab resp. Catch bag with which the game ball 3 can be caught gently.
At the beginning of the game, the game ball 3 is inserted into the flaccid hanging mat 1 and then thrown by quickly pulling the handles 2 in the air. That is, the stretched mat 1 is immediately relaxed during the subsequent impact of the falling ball 3 game. As a result, the force of the impacting game ball 3 gently braked resp. be steamed. The retention balls 4 prevent the ball 3 in flabby mat 1 from falling sideways. The game ball 3 can be flung back into the air immediately from this position. By the possibility of twisting the mat 1 different individual fishing techniques can be applied.

Es besteht die Möglichkeit, die Flugbahn des Spielballs 3 mit der Bewegungsrichtung der Matte 1 zu bestimmen, sowohl als Einzelspieler wie auch mit einem Partner. Selstverständlich gestattet das Sportgerät ein Spielen in einer Gruppe mit mehreren Spielern.It is possible to determine the trajectory of the game ball 3 with the direction of movement of the mat 1, both as a single player as well as with a partner. Of course, the sports equipment allows playing in a group with several players.
