The filling is pre-stressed in a spherical shape and exhibits free-flowing granules (8), where the granules are embedded in a viscous or dry lubricant e.g. oil, sand, of the filling. The ball exhibits a diameter (2) in the range of 70 to 80 millimeter and a weight in the range of 650 to 800 gram. The granule is in spherical shape and exhibits a grain size smaller than 4 millimeter.

Description

Die vorliegende Erfindung betrifft einen Hallen-Boule-Kugel.The present invention relates to an indoor boules ball.

Das Boule-Spiel, auch Boggia-Spiel, erfreut sich einer großen Beliebtheit. Das Boule-Spiel, insbesondere Petanque-Spiel, wird auch wettkampfmäßig betrieben. Dementsprechend treffen sich die Boule-Spieler zum Training. Da Wettkampf-Boule-Kugeln aus Metall, insbesondere aus Stahl, bestehen, sind die Boule-Kugeln bei niedrigen Temperaturen kaum zu handhaben, da der Einsatz von Handschuhen das Gefühl für den Wurf der Kugel zu stark verändert. Hierdurch wird das Training für Boule im Winter stark eingeschränkt. Ein Boule-Training ist einem geschlossenen Gebäude ist mit dem Wettkampf-Boule-Kugeln undenkbar, da die herkömmlichen Boule-Kugel jeden üblichen Fußboden oder Hallenboden beschädigen würden.The boule game, also boggia game, enjoys a great popularity. The boule game, especially petanque game, is also competitively operated. Accordingly, the boules players meet for training. Since competition boule balls are made of metal, especially steel, the boule balls are hardly to handle at low temperatures, since the use of gloves changes the feel of the ball too much. This greatly reduces training for boules in winter. Boule training is unthinkable in a closed building with the competition boule balls, as the conventional boule ball would damage any common floor or hall floor.

Die vorliegende Erfindung beschäftigt sich mit dem Problem, für das Boule-Spiel eine Möglichkeit aufzuzeigen, das Trainieren im Winter zu vereinfachen.The present invention addresses the problem of showing boule play a way to facilitate winter training.

Die Erfindung löst dieses Problem durch den Gegenstand des Schutzanspruchs 1. Vorteilhafte Ausführungsformen der Erfindung sind in den abhängigen Schutzansprüchen wiedergegeben.The invention solves this problem by the subject matter of claim 1. Advantageous embodiments of the invention are set forth in the dependent claims.

Die Erfindung beruht auf dem allgemeinen Gedanken, eine Hallen-Boule-Kugel bereitzustellen, die eine gummielastische Hülle oder Haut aufweist, die kugelschalenförmig ausgestaltet ist, ein rieselfähiges Granulat umhüllt und in die Kugelform vorspannt. Durch entsprechende Materialauswahl kann somit eine Hallen-Boule-Kugel geschaffen werden, die hinsichtlich ihres Gewichts und hinsichtlich ihrer Abmessungen einer Wettkampf-Boule-Kugel entspricht, wodurch ihre Handhabung für Trainingszwecke im wesentlichen der Handhabung einer Wettkampf-Boule-Kugel entspricht. Durch den erfindungsgemäß vorgeschlagenen Aufbau ist jedoch die Hallen-Boule-Kugel in geschlossenen Gebäuden, insbesondere in Sporthallen, verwendbar. Die gummielastische Hülle ermöglicht in Verbindung mit dem rieselförmigen Granulat als Füllung starke reversible Deformationen der Hallen-Boule-Kugel beim Auftreffen auf den jeweiligen Boden, wodurch die Aufschlagkräfte zu einem wesentlichen Teil durch Deformationskräfte und Reibungskräfte innerhalb der Hallen-Boule-Kugel abgebaut werden. Die Belastung des Bodens wird bei der Verwendung einer derartigen Hallen-Boule-Kugel erheblich reduziert.The invention is based on the general idea to provide a halls boule ball having a rubber-elastic shell or skin, which is designed spherical shell, wrapped in a flowable granules and biases in the spherical shape. By appropriate choice of material thus a hall boule ball can be created, which corresponds in terms of their weight and in terms of their dimensions of a competition boule ball, whereby their handling for training purposes essentially corresponds to the handling of a competition boule ball. Due to the structure proposed by the invention, however, the halls boule ball in closed buildings, especially in sports halls, usable. The rubber-elastic shell allows in conjunction with the granular granules as filling strong reversible deformation of the halls boule ball when hitting the respective floor, whereby the impact forces are reduced to a significant extent by deformation forces and friction forces within the hall boule ball. The load on the floor is considerably reduced when using such a hall boule ball.

Gemäß einer vorteilhaften Ausführungsform kann die Füllung zusätzlich ein viskoses oder trockenes Gleitmittel aufweisen, in das das Granulat eingebettet ist. Das jeweilige Gleitmittel begünstigt dabei die Deformationen der Hallen-Boule-Kugel beim Aufschlag auf den jeweiligen Boden und vereinfacht die Rückformung in die Kugelform nach deren Deformation beim Aufschlag der Hülle der Kugel.According to an advantageous embodiment, the filling may additionally comprise a viscous or dry lubricant, in which the granules are embedded. The respective lubricant favors the deformation of the hall boule ball when impacting on the respective soil and simplifies the return to the spherical shape after their deformation when the shell of the ball.

Weitere wichtige Merkmale und Vorteile der Erfindung ergeben sich aus den Unteransprüchen, aus der Zeichnung und aus der zugehörigen Figurenbeschreibung anhand der Zeichnung.Other important features and advantages of the invention will become apparent from the dependent claims, from the drawing and from the associated description of the figures with reference to the drawing.

Es versteht sich, dass die vorstehend genannten und die nachstehend noch zu erläuternden Merkmale nicht nur in der jeweils angegebenen Kombination, sondern auch in anderen Kombinationen oder in Alleinstellung verwendbar sind, ohne den Rahmen der vorliegenden Erfindung zu verlassen.It is understood that the features mentioned above and those yet to be explained below can be used not only in the particular combination given, but also in other combinations or in isolation, without departing from the scope of the present invention.

Ein bevorzugtes Ausführungsbeispiel der Erfindung ist in den Zeichnungen dargestellt und wird in der nachfolgenden Beschreibung näher erläutert.A preferred embodiment of the invention is illustrated in the drawings and will be explained in more detail in the following description.

Die einzige Fig. 1 zeigt eine teilweise geschnittene Seitenansicht einer Hallen-Boule-Kugel.The only Fig. 1 shows a partially sectioned side view of a hall boule ball.

Entsprechend Fig. 1 weist eine Hallen-Boule-Kugel 1 einen Durchmesser 2 auf, der im Bereich von etwa 70 mm bis 80 mm liegt. Die Hallen-Boule-Kugel 1 weist ein Gewicht auf, das im Bereich von 650 g bis 800 g liegt. Somit entspricht die Hallen-Boule-Kugel 1 hinsichtlich ihres Durchmessers 2 und hinsichtlich ihres Gewichts den offiziellen Wettkampfbedingungen des Boule-Spiels bzw. des Petanque-Spiels.Corresponding Fig. 1 For example, an indoor boule ball 1 has a diameter 2 that ranges from about 70 mm to 80 mm. The Hall Boule Ball 1 has a weight ranging from 650 g to 800 g. Thus, the hall boule ball 1 corresponds in terms of its diameter 2 and in terms of their weight the official competition conditions of boules game or petanque game.

Die Hallen-Boule-Kugel 1 weist eine Hülle oder Haut 3 auf, die aus einem gummielastischen Material, insbesondere aus Gummi oder aus gummiartigem Kunststoff, besteht. Die Haut 3 ist kugelschalenförmig gestaltet, d.h., die Haut 3 nimmt bei fehlender äußerer Belastung von selbst die gezeigte Kugelform ein. Zweckmäßig kann die Haut 3 aus zwei Halbschalen 4, 5 zusammengesetzt sein, die jeweils für sich vergleichsweise einfach herstellbar sind. Die beiden Halbschalen 4, 5 sind vorzugsweise in einer Äquatorialebene bzw. in einem äquatorialen Kontaktbereich 6 miteinander fest verbunden, beispielsweise durch Verkleben, Verschweißen oder Vulkanisieren.The halls boule ball 1 has a shell or skin 3, which consists of a rubber-elastic material, in particular rubber or rubber-like plastic. The skin 3 has a spherical shell-shaped design, that is, the skin 3 inherently assumes the spherical shape shown in the absence of external stress. Suitably, the skin 3 may be composed of two half-shells 4, 5, each of which is comparatively easy to produce per se. The two half-shells 4, 5 are preferably firmly connected to each other in an equatorial plane or in an equatorial contact region 6, for example by gluing, welding or vulcanization.

Die Haut 3 umhüllt eine Füllung 7, die aus einem rieselfähigen Granulat 8 besteht oder rieselförmiges Granulat 8 aufweist. Die Haut 3 ist so dimensioniert, dass sie die Füllung 7 in die gezeigte Kugelform vorspannt. Insbesondere ist die Haut 3 so ausgelegt, dass sie die Füllung 7 bei fehlender äußerer Belastung gegen die Schwerkraft in die Kugelform bringt.The skin 3 encloses a filling 7, which consists of a free-flowing granules 8 or has granular granules 8. The skin 3 is dimensioned so that it biases the filling 7 in the spherical shape shown. In particular, the skin 3 is designed so that it brings the filling 7 in the absence of external stress against gravity in the spherical shape.

Um die Einnahme der Kugelform aufgrund der federelastischen Vorspannung der Haut 3 zu vereinfachen, kann die Füllung 7 zusätzlich mit einem viskosen oder trockenen Gleitmittel versehen sein, in welche das Granulat 8 eingebettet ist. viskose Gleitmittel sind beispielsweise Wasser, Öl oder Fett. Trockene Gleitmittel sind beispielsweise Pulver, Puder oder feinkörniger Sand. Beispielsweise eignet sich Talkumpuder oder Magnesiapuder.In order to simplify the taking of the spherical shape due to the elastic bias of the skin 3, the filling 7 may be additionally provided with a viscous or dry lubricant, in which the granules 8 is embedded. Viscous lubricants are, for example, water, oil or fat. Dry lubricants are, for example, powder, powder or fine-grained sand. For example, talcum powder or magnesia powder is suitable.

Das Granulat 8 kann kugelförmig ausgestaltet sein. Grundsätzlich ist jedoch eine beliebige Formgebung für das Granulat 8 möglich. Bevorzugt besitzt das Granulat 8 eine Körnung, die kleiner als 4 mm ist. Als Granulat 8 eignet sich in besondere Weise ein Eisengranulat oder Eisenkugel. Hierdurch lässt sich vergleichsweise einfach das gewünschte Gewicht für die Hallen-Boule-Kugel 1 realisieren.The granules 8 may be designed spherical. In principle, however, any shape for the granules 8 is possible. Preferably, the granules 8 has a grain size which is smaller than 4 mm. As granules 8 is suitable in a special way an iron granules or iron ball. As a result, the desired weight for the indoor boule ball 1 can be realized comparatively easily.

Die Haut 3 besitzt beispielsweise eine Dicke von 3 mm bis 6 mm, wodurch sie bei entsprechender Materialauswahl eine hinreichende Festigkeit und eine hinreichende Rückstellkraft zur Realisierung der Kugelform besitzt.The skin 3 has, for example, a thickness of 3 mm to 6 mm, whereby it has a sufficient strength and a sufficient restoring force for the realization of the spherical shape with appropriate choice of material.

Für das Einbringen der Füllung 7 kann die Haut 3 bzw. eine der Halbschalen 4, 5 mit einer Einfüllöffnung 9 versehen sein. Bei vollständig befüllter Hallen-Boule-Kugel 1 ist die Einfüllöffnung 9 mit einem Stopfen 10 verschlossen. Im Beispiel ist die Haut 3 im Bereich der Einfüllöffnung 9 mit einem nach innen vorstehenden Stutzen 11 ausgestattet. Der Stutzen 11 stabilisiert die Haut 3 im Bereich der Einfüllöffnung 9 und ermöglicht eine stabile Festlegung des Stopfens 10 an der Haut 3. Hierzu kann der Stopfen 10 ein inneres, pilzartiges Ende 12 aufweisen. Im gezeigten eingesetzten Zustand übergreift das pilzartige Ende 12 des Stopfens 10 einen nicht näher bezeichneten Rand der Einfüllöffnung 9 bzw. des Stutzens 11 innen, also im Inneren der Haut 3. Das Herausziehen des Stopfens 10 wird dadurch erheblich erschwert. Gleichzeitig weist der Stopfen 10 hier ein äußeres bundartiges Ende 13 auf, das in einer dazu komplementären Aussparung 14, die außen an der Haut 3 ausgebildet ist, vertieft angeordnet ist. Zusätzlich kann der Stopfen 10 mit der Haut 3 verklebt sein.For the introduction of the filling 7, the skin 3 or one of the half-shells 4, 5 may be provided with a filling opening 9. When completely filled hall boule ball 1, the filling opening 9 is closed with a stopper 10. In the example, the skin 3 is provided in the region of the filling opening 9 with an inwardly projecting connection 11. The nozzle 11 stabilizes the skin 3 in the region of the filling opening 9 and allows a stable fixing of the plug 10 to the skin 3. For this purpose, the plug 10 may have an inner, mushroom-like end 12. In the inserted state shown, the mushroom-like end 12 of the plug 10 engages over an unspecified edge of the filling opening 9 or the nozzle 11 inside, ie inside the skin 3. The extraction of the plug 10 is made considerably more difficult. At the same time, the plug 10 here has an outer one collar-like end 13, which is recessed in a complementary recess 14 which is formed on the outside of the skin 3. In addition, the plug 10 may be bonded to the skin 3.

Durch die Verwendung eines rieselfähigen Granulats 8 als Füllung 7 in Verbindung mit einer kugelschalenförmigen elastischen Haut 3, welche die Füllung 7 in die Kugelform vorspannt, wird eine Indoor-Boule-Kugel geschaffen. Wesentlicher Aspekt ist hierbei die extreme Verformbarkeit der Hallen-Boule-Kugel 1, welche die hohen Aufprallkräfte weitgehend absorbiert. Gleichzeitig wird die durch den Aufprall stark deformierte Hallen-Boule-Kugel 1 durch die federelastische Haut 3 selbsttätig und relativ schnell wieder in die Kugelform überführt, so dass die Hallen-Boule-Kugel 1 außerdem ein mit einer herkömmlichen Boule-Kugel vergleichbares Rollverhalten nach dem Auftreffen auf den Boden zeigt. Besonders vorteilhaft ist bei der Hallen-Boule-Kugel 1 jedoch, dass sie sich hinsichtlich ihrer Handhabung kaum von einer Wettkampf-Boule-Kugel unterscheidet. Desweiteren fühlt sich die Hallen-Boule-Kugel 1 auch bei niedrigen Umgebungstemperaturen vergleichsweise warm an, da das Material der Haut 3 ein relativ schlechter Wärmeleiter ist.By using a free-flowing granules 8 as a filling 7 in conjunction with a spherical shell-shaped elastic skin 3, which biases the filling 7 in the spherical shape, an indoor boule ball is created. An essential aspect here is the extreme deformability of the halls boule ball 1, which largely absorbs the high impact forces. At the same time, the hall boule ball 1, which is severely deformed by the impact, is automatically and relatively quickly returned to the spherical shape by the resilient skin 3, so that the indoor boule ball 1 also has a rolling behavior comparable to that of a conventional boule ball Impact on the ground shows. However, it is particularly advantageous in the Hall Boule Ball 1 that it hardly differs in terms of their handling of a competition boule ball. Furthermore, the hall boule ball 1 feels comparatively warm even at low ambient temperatures, since the material of the skin 3 is a relatively poor conductor of heat.
