Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a device for throwing balloons, including team sports.
  • the invention relates to the field of sports training equipment, and more particularly the field of devices for the projection of balloons, as well as that of games or toys for the projection of balls.
  • the invention more particularly relates to the improvement of the devices for throwing existing balloons, in which the balloons are struck through an impact arm, such as those described in the documents.
  • WO 2008/056038 and EP 0 520 929 are particularly relates to the improvement of the devices for throwing existing balloons, in which the balloons are struck through an impact arm, such as those described in the documents.
  • EP 0 520 929 are particularly relates to the improvement of the devices for throwing existing balloons, in which the balloons are struck through an impact arm, such as those described in the documents.
  • these devices comprise a frame incorporating a balloon magazine and a striking mechanism, the latter comprising a striking arm provided at its free end with a striking means, pivotally movable through a shaft and associated with driving means adapted to pivotably drive such that said striking means can describe a path passing through a location for receiving a balloon delivered by said magazine.
  • the drive means essentially comprise a suitable energy accumulator, under the effect of a control means to restore and transmit this energy to said shaft and thus to the striking arm.
  • These devices are particularly intended for teaching collective sports using a ball, for the purpose of learning technical gestures. They make it possible to reproduce balloon throws according to regular trajectories.
  • the device of the document EP 0 520 929 has a striking arm moving in a vertical or substantially vertical plane, while the document WO 2008/056038 has a striking arm moving in a horizontal or substantially horizontal plane.
  • These arms are provided at their free end with a striking means in the form of a plate or the like, and which is intended to come into contact with the balloon.
  • the object of the present invention is to propose a device for launching balloons making it possible to remedy the various aforementioned drawbacks.
  • the device for launching balloons comprises a frame incorporating a striking mechanism comprising a striking arm provided at its free end with a striking means, said arm being pivotally movable through a shaft and associated with driving means adapted to drive said arm pivotably so that said striking means can describe a circular path passing through a location for the reception of a balloon, and is essentially characterized in that said striking means consists in a roller mounted for free rotation along an axis parallel to that of pivoting said striking arm.
  • the roller When struck, the roller can turn in contact with the balloon, which allows a refocusing of the impact.
  • the alignment correction is not performed by sliding the ball on the striking medium, but by pivoting the roller, so it has a function positioning damper.
  • the location for receiving the balloon is in the form of a plate provided with balloon positioning means, and associated with adjusting means for moving the balloon. vertical and / or lateral.
  • the tray has a chute shape so as to allow to center the ball, whatever the size thereof.
  • the means for positioning the balloon on the plate consist of brushes making it possible to hold the balloon while being placed on either side of the location intended to be occupied by the latter.
  • the drive means comprise a mechanical energy accumulator capable of accumulating the mechanical energy produced by a geared motor, and able to restore and transmit this energy to the shaft, said energy accumulator being further secured to the frame and connected to said shaft at an eccentric attachment point relative to the axis of rotation of said shaft, while said drive means comprise eccentric means by relative to said axis of rotation, rotated along this axis being driven by said geared motor, and adapted to cooperate with said shaft so as to cause it to pivot, only by bearing eccentrically on part of the or on an integral part of it.
  • the energy accumulator consists of a compression or traction spring, mechanical and / or pneumatic.
  • the energy accumulator (5) is associated with means for adjusting its voltage.
  • the device for throwing balloons comprises means for attenuating oscillations of the arm on its shaft after the striking of a balloon.
  • the oscillation damping means of the arm consist of a freewheel through which the shaft is mounted on the frame, or a damper simple coaxial effect to the mechanical energy accumulator.
  • this device 1 comprises, inside a not shown frame, a striking mechanism 2 comprising a striking arm 20 mounted on a shaft 21 movable pivotally on the frame through a freewheel 22.
  • An eccentric 23, set in rotation on the shaft 21, is connected, via an eccentric fixing pin 24, to one end of a mechanical energy accumulator, in this case a spring 25, of which the other end is integral with a means 26 for adjusting the tension of the spring 25.
  • a geared motor 27 is provided capable firstly of pushing, by means of a rearming stop 28 , the finger 24 in revolution around the shaft 21, so as to extend the spring 25, and secondly to release the finger 24 to allow, under the effect of expansion of the spring 25, the rotation of the 21 and thus the displacement of the striking arm 20.
  • the device 1 also comprises a balloon storage magazine B, which is represented only the end which consists of a hopper 10 which overhangs the location intended to receive the ball B to launch.
  • This location is materialized by a plate 11 associated with two brushes 12 arranged laterally, on either side of the location intended to be occupied by the balloon B, the plate 11 being of course arranged in the path of the free end striking arm 20.
  • the plate 11 is in the form of a chute, curved about an axis tangent to the trajectory of the free end of the striking arm 20.
  • This form of chute can index the positioning of the balloon B, whatever the size of it.
  • the free end of the striking arm 20 is provided, according to the invention, with a roller 3, mounted for free pivoting along an axis YY 'parallel to the shaft 21, by means of a bearing 30.
  • the roller 3 constitutes the impactor intended to come into contact with the ball B.
  • the finger 24 is driven in revolution about the axis of pivoting of the shaft 21 by the geared motor 27, being pushed by the resetting stop 28, with the effect of the displacement of the striking arm 20 and the setting in tension of the spring 25.
  • the finger 24 is diametrically opposed to the point of attachment of the other end of the spring 25, the latter is in maximum extension, and when the finger 24 exceeds this position, the spring 25 contracts and abruptly causes the shaft 21 and thus the striking arm 20 to pivot.
  • the roller 3 thus describes a circular path that passes through the location occupied by the balloon B on the plate 11.
  • the tray 11 in the form of chute is movably mounted in vertical translation through a screw jack type adjustment means 13. This adjustment possibility allows that, whatever the size of the balloon B, the impact can be given at the desired location, that is, optimally, at a median height.
  • the device 1 may comprise means of adjustment in the lateral direction of the plate 11, or more exactly of the assembly formed by the hopper 10, the plate 11 and the brushes 12, so as to make a lateral displacement, one side or the other, and thus obtain throws in different trajectories oriented laterally.
  • roller 3 of the device 1 to launch balloons makes it possible to perform throws of high accuracy, and therefore of greater efficiency for the user.
  • the combination of this roller 3, tray 11 in the form of chute and two brushes 12 arranged laterally, increases the accuracy of the throws.
