Description

    FIELD OF THE INVENTION
  • This invention concerns a sideline bench of the type used in sporting activities, to assist the coaching staff and the team during practice or during sports competitions.
    • BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION AND PROBLEMS TO BE SOLVED
  • Until now, benches have been made as fixed structures that are placed close to the playing field, at the same level as the field or a level below. That means that it was not possible to move them from one place to another if needed. In auxiliary or training fields, they did not exist or were improvised using chair or benches placed on the ground. This left the coaching staff and players exposed to the weather, without the required amenities for sitting down or the storage of first aid items, or other items: shoes, shirts, etc.
  • Furthermore, current sideline benches do not allow for the projection of images for communication of advertisement.
    • AIM OF THE INVENTION
  • The idea of this invention was conceived with the aim of solving the indicated problems, by providing a portable bench that has a sliding roof cover and sides adaptable to needs, seating and/or benches for tournaments, and as a place to store first aid items and other items. The roof has an ample surface for displaying advertising, both static and dynamic through placement of LED screens, or the like.
  • Therefore, the primary object of the present invention, "SIDELINE BENCH" of the type used in sports fields is to assist the coaching staff and the team during practice or during sporting tournaments. It is characterized by a tubular frame structure, comprising a flat rectangular base covered by a laminar plate constituting the bottom; the back of the structure has an axis of the same length as its longest side with at least one wheel at each of its ends. In the middle section of the base stands a horizontal support upon which the seats are placed side by side or the benches are fixed; behind these is placed at least one annex unit with shelves, at least four pillars or rods, equidistant from the horizontal support, and raised vertically from the base supporting a curved roof, The roof starts in relation to the axis and extends curving outward to form a weather-protective visor; said roof comprises of a fixed lower covering and a mobile upper covering; the upper covering can slide on sliding rollers over the fixed lower covering, through a pinion fixed to the bottom cover and a rack system on the upper mobile cover, synchronized by a Cardan shaft and activated by motive device.
  • Embodiments of the present invention are fixed and mobile coverings that form the roof, permit projection of images and static publicity.
  • Another embodiment of the present invention is that the fixed and mobile coverings that form the roof permit projection of images and dynamic publicity.
  • Another embodiment of the present invention is that the fixed and mobile coverings that form the roof contain LED screens that cover their entire surface.
  • Another embodiment of the present invention is that the fixed and mobile coverings that form the roof contain FLC displays that cover their entire surface.
  • Another embodiment of with the present invention is that has transparent side panels, between the pillars and rods that sustain the roof.
  • Another embodiment of the present invention is characterized by the fact that the aforementioned rectangular base contains on its front part a leg cover formed by a tubular structure that is sustained by a convex plate higher then the seats and of the same length as the base of the structure.
  • Another embodiment of the present invention is that the leg cover contains LED screens that cover their entire surface.
  • Another embodiment of the present invention is that the leg cover contains FLC displays that cover their entire surface.
  • Another embodiment of the present invention is that the aforementioned motive device is a low voltage motor with a switch-controlled transmission system featuring a clutch brake.

    DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
  • Hereafter, using the established reference numbers is a detailed explanation of what constitutes the present invention and how to use it.
  • As can be seen in aforementioned figures, the sideline bench comprises a tubular frame structure (1), comprising of a flat rectangular base (2) covered by a laminar plate constituting the bottom. The back of the structure has an axis (3) of the same length as its longest side with at least one wheel (4) on each of its ends. In the middle section of said base stands a horizontal support (5) separated from the bottom, upon which the seats are placed side by side or the benches are fixed (6), behind them is placed at least one annex unit with shelves (7). At least four pillars or rods (8), equidistant from the horizontal support, raised vertically from the base and supporting a curved roof (9). The roof (9) begins by the axis (3) and extends curving outward forming weatherproof visor; the same roof comprises a fixed lower covering (10) and a mobile upper covering (11), the upper covering (11) can slide on sliding rollers (12) over the fixed lower covering (10), through a pinion (13) fixed to the bottom cover (10) and a rack system on the upper mobile cover (11), synchronized by a Cardan shaft and activated by motive device (not shown in the drawings).
  • The fixed and mobile coverings that form the roof permit projection of images and static advertising. They also permit projection of dynamic advertising. The fixed (10) and mobile (11) coverings that form the roof (9) contain LED screens that cover their entire surface and may contain FLC (Flexible LED Curtain) displays that cover their entire surface.
  • The bench has transparent side panels (15) on both sides and between the pillars or rods (8) that sustain the roof (9).
  • The aforementioned rectangular base contains on its front part, a leg cover (16) formed by a tubular structure that is sustained by a convex plate higher then the seats (6) and of the same length as the base of the structure.
  • On the leg cover (16), static and/or dynamic advertisements may also be placed through LED screens or FLC displays that cover their entire surface. The upper mobile covering (11) that forms the roof (9) is moved by a motive device, consisting of a low voltage motor with a switch-controlled transmission system, the latter featuring a clutch brake (not shown in drawings).
  • It should be clear that the transport of the sideline bench of the present invention can be done by lifting its front part both manually and mechanically with any engine powered vehicle, in such a way that its weight rests on its wheels, making transportation easy according to necessities.
  • Having herein described and determined the nature and the scope of the present invention and the way it is brought to practice, declaring ownership and claiming exclusive right:
