Definitions

  • the invention relates to a device for adjusting the height of a tennis court net intended to adapt a net, initially adjusted in height for a double game, into a height-adjusted net for a single game without having to intervene on the initial setting.
  • Said net is supported by end posts and said adjustment device consists of two rods for raising the cable, carrying said net, at the regulatory height in simple play and a means adapted to keep each rod in the vertical position and at the prescribed distance from the singles line.
  • the court is a rectangular lot 23.77 m long and 8.23 m wide. It is divided in the middle by a net suspended on a rope or a metal cable, with a maximum diameter of 0.8 cm, the ends of which are fixed to, or pass over the upper part of, two posts of square section of 15 cm maximum side, or circular 15 cm maximum diameter. These posts must not exceed the top of the rope or cable by more than 2.5 cm, their center must be located outside the court, 0.914 m from the side lines, and their height must be such the top of the rope or wire rope is 1.07 m from the ground.
  • the device according to the invention has been designed to remedy these various drawbacks, as well as those linked to the lack of stability and verticality of said stakes.
  • each stake to the post to which it is attached consists of two flexible cables, fixed, by one of their ends, to the corresponding post, at two distinct points, and, by the other of their ends, to the corresponding stake, at two distinct points, and in that the length of said cables and the position of their fixing points are adapted to guarantee, on the one hand, the correct positioning of the stake and, on the other hand, its verticality.
  • connection between said panel and said cables is ensured by appropriate attachment means.
  • - Figure 1 is a front view of the device according to the invention, stake in the deployed position, and the relevant part of the net and the post concerned;
  • - Figure 2 is a front view of said device, stake in the folded position, and the relevant part of the net and the post concerned.
  • the device shown in the figures intended for adjusting the height of a tennis court net, is designed to adapt a net (11), initially adjusted in height for a double game, into a net adjusted in height for a simple game ; said net being supported by end posts (1) and said adjusting device being consisting of two stakes (2) for raising the cable (3), carrying said net, at the regulatory height in simple play and a connecting means (4,5) adapted to maintain each stake in the vertical position and at the regulatory distance from the singles line.
  • the means of connection of each stake (2) to the post (1) to which it is attached consists of two cables (4) and (5), flexible, fixed, by one from their ends, to the post (1), at two separate points (A) and (B), and, by the other of their ends, to the stake (2), at two separate points (C) and (D), and whose length of said cables and the position of their fixing points are adapted to guarantee, on the one hand, the positioning of the stake (2) at the regulatory distance from the single line and, on the other hand, its verticality.
  • the cables (4) and (5) are adapted to serve as a support for at least one advertising panel (12).
  • the connection between a panel (12) and the cables (4) and (5) is ensured by attachment means (13), for example of the self-gripping type or by clips.
  • the cables (4) and (5) are positioned crossed; in this case they may include a central holding point (E);
  • each stake (2) has, in the upper part, a guide groove (6) of the cable (3);
  • Each stake (2) has, in the lower part, a base (7) for bearing on the court (8);
  • the device comprises at least one means (9) adapted to hold each stake (2), in its folded position, against the post (1) to which it is attached;
  • Each post (1) has a cavity adapted to contain the post (2) associated with it, in its folded position.
  • the cable (3) is generally connected to a take-up reel (10).
