Description
Die Erfindung betrifft eine Ballhülle, insbesondere für Fußbälle, die eine Anzahl miteinander verbundener, insbesondere vernähter, Abschnitte aufweist.The invention relates to a ball cover, in particular for footballs, which has a number of interconnected, in particular sewn, sections.
Ballhüllen dieser Art sind im Stand der Technik hinlänglich bekannt, wozu exemplarisch auf die

Im Stand der Technik ist des weiteren eine große Vielfalt von Möglichkeiten beschrieben, wie die Oberflächenabschnitte, die die Ballhülle bilden, geformt sein können.Further, a great variety of ways in which the surface portions forming the ball cover may be formed are described in the prior art.

Bei allen vorbekannten Ballhüllen müssen drei Kriterien berücksichtigt werden, um einen Ball in wirtschaftlicher Weise herstellen zu können, der auch gute Spieleigenschaften aufweist.In all previously known ball covers three criteria must be considered in order to produce a ball in an economical manner, which also has good play properties.
Zunächst muss darauf geachtet werden, dass die Anzahl der Abschnitte, mit denen die Kugeloberfläche parkettiert wird, nicht übermäßig groß ist. Nur so kann eine wirtschaftliche Herstellung einer Ballhülle erreicht werden. Sind zu viele Abschnitte vorgesehen, die jeweils miteinander verbunden, beispielsweise vernäht, werden müssen, ist ein großer Aufwand erforderlich, um die Ballhülle herzustellen, was die Herstellkosten groß werden lässt.First, care must be taken that the number of sections that parquet the surface of the sphere is not excessive. Only then can an economical production of a ball cover be achieved. If too many sections are provided, which must be connected to each other, for example sewn, must be, a lot of effort is required to produce the ball cover, which makes the manufacturing costs can be large.
Weiterhin ist es nachteilig, wenn eine große Anzahl Zusammentreffstellen von Nähten vorhanden ist. Die Ballhülle kann insbesondere an den Stellen, an denen mehrere Nähte zusammentreffen, bei Benutzung des Balls im Nassen Wasser absorbieren, was die Spieleigenschaften negativ beeinflusst. Ein guter Ball sollte wenig Wasser aufnehmen, damit seine Spieleigenschaften auch bei der Benutzung in feuchter Umgebung nicht verändert werden. Somit ist anzustreben, dass die Balloberfläche möglichst wenige Zusammentreffstellen mehrerer Nähte aufweist.Furthermore, it is disadvantageous if a large number of meeting places of seams is present. The ball cover can absorb, especially at the points where several seams meet, when using the ball in wet water, which adversely affects the playing properties. A good ball should absorb less water so that its playing characteristics are not altered even when used in a humid environment. Thus, it is desirable that the Balloberfläche has as few meeting points of multiple seams.
Schließlich hat die Rundheit des Balls bzw. der Ballhülle eine große Bedeutung. Der Ball sollte möglichst rund geformt sein, d. h. die möglichst genaue Form einer Kugel oder eines Ellipsoids aufweisen. Dies kann deshalb nur annähernd erreicht werden, weil die einzelnen Abschnitte im wesentlichen eben sind und nur durch den Innendruck im Ball im Rahmen ihrer Elastizität ballig verformt werden.Finally, the roundness of the ball or the ball cover has a great importance. The ball should be shaped as round as possible, d. H. have the most accurate form of a sphere or ellipsoid. This can therefore only be approximately achieved because the individual sections are substantially planar and are deformed spherically only by the internal pressure in the ball in the context of their elasticity.
Für einen Ball der eingangs genannten Art, der aus Hexagonen und Pentagonen zusammengesetzt ist, ergibt sich konzeptbedingt ein gewisser Grad an Unrundheit, die in
Der Radius r01 ist der Abstand vom Ballzentrum 22 zur Mitte des Pentagons 20; er beträgt in einem Ausführungsbeispiel 103,3 mm. Der Abstand r02 gibt die Distanz zwischen Ballzentrum 22 und der Mitte eines Hexagons 19 an, wobei in dem Ausführungsbeispiel dieser Radius 106,1 mm beträgt. Der Radius r03 beschreibt den Abstand vom Ballzentrum 22 zur Verbindungsstelle zwischen einem Pentagon 20 und einem Hexagon 19 und beträgt im Ausführungsbeispiel 108,7 mm. r04 ist die Distanz zwischen Ballzentrum 22 und der Verbindungsstelle zwischen zwei Hexagonen 19; der Wert liegt im Ausführungsbeispiel bei 110,2 mm. Das Verhältnis zwischen größtem und kleinstem Radius - im vorliegenden Falle zwischen dem Radius r04 und dem Radius r01 - gibt die Unrundheit der Ballhülle 1 an; im Ausführungsbeispiel beträgt das Verhältnis 1,067.The radius r 01 is the distance from the center of the
Anzustreben ist, dass dieses Verhältnis möglichst nahe an den Wert 1 gelangt, so dass die Rundheit der Ballhülle möglichst groß ist.It is desirable that this ratio comes as close to the

Entsprechend der zuvor erläuterten Herstellung des Kreisringteils durch Zusammenfügen der Enden einer einzigen Unterbrechungsstelle eines Kreisringteils können hiernach also mehrere segmentartig ausgebildete, vorzugsweise gleich große Kreisringteilelemente miteinander verbunden werden, um das gesamte Kreisringteil zu bilden. Dabei kommen bevorzugt vier gleich große Kreisringteil-Segmente zum Einsatz, wenn die Ballhülle mit sechs Abschnitten der ersten Gruppe versehen ist; drei gleich große Kreisringteil-Segmente können mit Vorteil eingesetzt werden, wenn die Ballhülle mit vier Abschnitten der ersten Gruppe ausgestattet ist.Alternatively, it can also be provided that at least a portion of the sections of the first group, preferably all sections of the first group, are made of one each at a plurality, preferably at three or four, circumferential points interrupted circular ring part, wherein the points of interruption facing sides of the circular ring part interconnected, in particular sewn, are.

Each section of the second group may further be formed symmetrically with respect to two mutually perpendicular axes.
Eine gute Möglichkeit zur Parkettierung der Oberfläche der Ballhülle wird dadurch begünstigt, wenn weiterbildungsgemäß jeder Abschnitt der zweiten Gruppe an beiden Querseiten eine aus zwei Geraden oder zwei Kreisbögen gebildete Spitze aufweist. Die Geraden oder Kreisbögen können dabei zu einer der Achsen einen Winkel zwischen 35° und 110°, vorzugsweise zwischen 40° und 60°, besonders bevorzugt zwischen 47° und 49° bei vier Abschnitten der ersten Gruppe und zwischen 56° und 59° bei sechs Abschnitten der ersten Gruppe, einschließen.A good way of tiling the surface of the ball cover is facilitated if, according to further development, each section of the second group on both lateral sides has a tip formed from two straight lines or two circular arcs. The straight lines or circular arcs may in this case be at an angle of between 35 ° and 110 °, preferably between 40 ° and 60 °, particularly preferably between 47 ° and 49 ° for four sections of the first group and between 56 ° and 59 ° for six Include sections of the first group.
Die seitliche Begrenzung der beiden Längsseiten jedes Abschnitts der zweiten Gruppe kann durch einen Kreisbogen oder durch einen elliptischen Bogen gebildet werden. Die Abschnitte der zweiten Gruppe können weiterhin in ihren Endbereichen eine größere Breite aufweisen, als in ihrem Mittenbereich. Bevorzugt entspricht die größte Breite jedes Abschnitts der zweiten Gruppe mindestens dem Doppelten der kleinsten Breite des Abschnitts.The lateral boundary of the two longitudinal sides of each section of the second group can be formed by a circular arc or by an elliptical arc. The sections of the second group may furthermore have a greater width in their end regions than in their middle region. Preferably, the largest width of each section of the second group is at least twice the smallest width of the section.
Die Ballhülle bzw. ihre Teile bestehen mit Vorteil aus Kunststoff, insbesondere aus thermoplastischem oder duroplastischem Material, oder aus Gummi. Als Kunststoff kommen Polyäthylen, Polypropylen, Polybutan, Polyamid, Polyurethan, Polyvinylchlorid, Polyolefin, Äthylen-Vinyl-Acetat oder eine Mischung von wenigstens zwei dieser Kunststoffe in Betracht. Die Ballhülle bzw. ihre Teile können auch aus Leder oder Kunstleder bestehen. Weiterhin eignet sich für die Ballhülle auch synthetisches Material, beispielsweise ein Gewebe aus Nylon oder auch Baumwolle.The ball cover or its parts are advantageously made of plastic, in particular thermoplastic or thermosetting material, or rubber. Suitable plastics are polyethylene, polypropylene, polybutane, polyamide, polyurethane, polyvinyl chloride, polyolefin, ethylene-vinyl acetate or a mixture of at least two of these plastics. The ball cover or its parts can also be made of leather or synthetic leather. Furthermore, synthetic material is suitable for the ball cover, for example a fabric made of nylon or cotton.
Die vorgeschlagene Ballhülle zeichnet sich durch eine relativ geringe Anzahl Abschnitte aus, die die Balloberfläche parkettieren. Ferner ist auch die Anzahl der Zusammentreffstellen von Nähten relativ gering. Schließlich liegt eine gute Rundheit der Ballhülle vor.The proposed ball cover is characterized by a relatively small number of sections that parquet the Balloberfläche. Furthermore, the number of meeting places of seams is relatively low. Finally, there is a good roundness of the ball cover.
Nicht unwesentlich ist ferner, dass die benötigten Abschnitte für die Parkettierung der Balloberfläche eine relativ einfache Kontur aufweisen, was die Herstellung und Handhabung bei der Verarbeitung einfach macht.Not insignificant is further that the required sections for the tiling of the Balloberfläche have a relatively simple contour, which makes the manufacture and handling during processing easy.
In vorteilhafter Weise hat die erfindungsgemäße Ballhülle auch eine sehr hohe Formstabilität.Advantageously, the ball cover according to the invention also has a very high dimensional stability.

Die Abschnitte 3 der zweiten Gruppe sind in den
Die seitlichen Begrenzungen 14 der Abschnitte 3 im Bereich deren Längsseiten 15 werden durch elliptische Bögen, gegebenenfalls auch durch Kreisbögen, gebildet, die hinsichtlich ihrer Größe so gewählt sind, dass die beim Zusammennähen mit den Abschnitten 2 zur Kreisform passen, die durch die äußeren Radien R1 der Abschnitte 2 definiert werden. Im Ausführungsbeispiel mit sechs Abschnitten 2 beträgt die Bogenlänge s ein Viertel des Umfangs, der durch den äußeren Rand des Kreisringabschnitts 2 bestimmt wird. Im Falle von vier Abschnitten 2 betrüge die Bogenlänge ein Drittel des Umfangs.The
Wie weiter zu sehen ist, ergibt sich so eine Gestalt der Abschnitte 3, bei denen diese in ihren Endbereichen 16 und 17 eine größere Breite B aufweisen, als in ihrem Mittenbereich 18, wo die Breite mit b bezeichnet ist.

Der Radius r11 ist der Abstand vom Ballzentrum 22 zur Mitte des Abschnitts 4 (Kreisabschnitt); er beträgt im Ausführungsbeispiel 107,5 mm. Der Abstand r12 gibt die Distanz zwischen Ballzentrum 22 und der Mitte des Abschnitts 2 (Kreisring) an, wobei im Ausführungsbeispiel dieser Radius 107,2 mm beträgt. Der Radius r13 beschreibt den Abstand vom Ballzentrum 22 zur Mitte des Abschnitts 3 und beträgt im Ausführungsbeispiel 109,0 mm. r14 ist die Distanz zwischen Ballzentrum 22 und der Verbindungsstelle zwischen den Abschnitten 2 und 4; der Wert liegt im Ausführungsbeispiel bei 109,8 mm. Das Verhältnis zwischen größtem und kleinsten Radius - im vorliegenden Falle zwischen dem Radius r14 und dem Radius r12 - gibt wieder die (maximale) Unrundheit der Ballhülle 1 an; im Ausführungsbeispiel beträgt das Verhältnis 1,024, d. h. der maximale Radius beträgt 102,4 % des minimalen Radius. Damit ergibt sich, dass die Rundheit des Balls sehr viel größer ist als beim vorbekannten Ball gemäß
