Description

Ball playfield for practising ball games
Subject of this invention is a ball playfield for practising ball games which consists of at least one game space and at least one practising space element, the practising space element being directly or indirectly anchored to the ground in a detachable way. The practising space element comprises two vertical supports that are anchored to the foundation formed in the ground by detachable fasteners, an upper horizontal support connecting the two vertical supports together at the top and the two vertical supports and the upper horizontal support make up a single rigid support frame, and a lower horizontal support at ground level along the connecting line between the two vertical supports and fastened to the ground. There is a practising wall between the upper horizontal support of the support frame and the lower horizontal support fastened at least to the upper horizontal support with detachable fastening elements.
The currently existing playfields are mostly closed, have a relatively small ground space, but most of all are not adequately proportioned, consequently the playing spaces for different ages hit into each other disturbing self-forgetting play. Other issues may emerge due to the fact that children show different dynamic behaviour while playing.
In addition, we are well aware of the adverse effects of, and addiction to computer games which highlights even more emphasised way the need for counteractions against withdrawal symptoms caused by depriving of these games by providing real-world customized activities for the different needs as a source of joy.
Numerous solutions are known to satisfy physical activity needs. For example, school gymnastics, playgrounds, sport clubs, exercises done at home and other activities, that are supposed to protect our health. Most of the time, however, these occasions are sporadically available and provide limited options due to time constrains, costs, lack of play mates or the monotony.
There are other solutions used for developing and mastering physical movement technics such as kicking wall for football players of which description can be found in published Hungarian patent application No. 5903/90, "Complex football exercise field" featuring multiple parallel kicking walls installed in a closed exercise field. Disadvantage of this solution is the rigid arrangement on a closed area.
Patent document with registration number HU 193929 A titled as "Device for training ball players first footballers and tennis-players for practising the ball technique" also consists of similar solutions. The structure described in the invention is a wall from which the kicked or stroked ball bounces back unpredictably. This feature of the wall is ensured by overlapped curved surfaces mounted on the forefront face of the wall from which the ball bounces back and their geometric centrelines are perpendicular to the wall surface. Mentioned curved surfaces are formed preferably as spherical segments. Disadvantage of the solution is the relatively high implementation cost.
Next known solution is described in the patent document HU 222643 Bl with title "Equipment for helping training of a ball game" which includes a target board aimed at by players with balls used for the training and exercise and this board features a rigid frame with elastic, light-transmitting ball- catching surface stretched over it, and behind this surface a segmented light source is installed to lit distinct areas of the surface in a controllable way. The training and exercising board uses an impact sensor which is capable of detecting the impact time and impact place of the ball when it hits the ball- catching surface. The equipment also comprises a central unit which receives the place and time information from the sensor and is linked to the actuating lines of the light source. Disadvantage of the solution is the fact that a trainer is required to cooperate.
Also known a published patent document with publication number WO 2004/002585 Al and titled as „Dismountable practice walF. The subject of the invention is a dismountable practice wall consisting of a vertical panel comprising boards, a frame comprising two vertical tubular legs and two horizontal U-shaped sections which are disposed opposite one another, and a support base comprising two support elements which are disposed perpendicular to the panel and which are anchored to each side of the frame. The described practice wall is not anchored to the ground, it needs to get assembled for the use and disassembled after use.
Also known a published patent document with publication number DE 32 39 249 Al which is titled as „Training wall, at which individual target practice can be carried out for different ball games". The subject of the invention is a mobile training wall, at which individual target practice can be carried out for different ball games, such as football, handball, hockey or the like. The training wall consists essentially of a stable bearing construction, preferably in a framework construction, which is covered by wall-forming elements, such as boards, panels or the like. The described training wall is not anchored to the ground, and it is moved away on rolls.
None of the known solutions can cover all possible forms of ball games and does not allow each age range to play equally and get to know their capability boundaries in a pace that suits their needs and enjoyable also for adults on one single ball game playfield customized for practising.
We have not found written determination in professional literature and patent documents that would aim saving and maintaining the instinctive and natural need for physical activities developed in the childhood period for the whole life.
None of the known solutions include complex playground that can be used by different ages and can be implemented quickly at low cost and can be dismounted easily then re -installed on another place if required. The aim of the invention is to create ball playfield suitable to satisfy these needs and allows practising ball games in a complex way.

Figure 1 shows an embodiment of the invention in which a ball playfield J for practising ball games shows a possible implementation comprising 4 pieces of regular hexagonal game spaces 1 and the edges of these hexagonal game spaces 1 are in touch at one or more sides, and the practising space elements are located at one of the edges of each game space 1. There is a tyre space element 2 installed at shared edge of first game space 1.1 and second game space 1.2. There is a reflex space element 3 installed at shared edge of first game space 1.1 and third game space 1.3. The tyre space element 2 and the reflex space element 3 can be used from both sides due to having them installed at shared edges. There is a targeting space element 4 installed at the second edge of third game space 1.3. There is a velocity measuring space element 5 installed at one edge of fourth game space 1.4. There is a coordinating space element 6 formed at one edge of the tyre space element 2. Preferably, the game spaces 1 are 120-180 m2 in size and are installed on the natural soil or provided with artificial cladding.
The ball playfield J can be realized in a variety of shapes, sizes and number of game spaces 1 and practising space elements, and the natural soil of the game space 1 may be, for example, a lawn surface, artificial claddings such as slag, concrete or resin depending on needs and space available.
Figures 2a, 2b, 2c show a possible implementation of tyre space element 2 of the ball playfield J according to the present invention. The tyre space element 2 comprises two vertical supports anchored with detachable fasteners to sized foundations from reinforced concrete 20 with stud-bolts 21 through gusset plates 22, and a horizontal support connecting the upper ends of the vertical supports together, and the two vertical supports and the upper horizontal support compose a single rigid support frame 24. Reinforced concrete beam 23 is laid in the ground between the two sized foundations from reinforced concrete 20 to which a T-profile 25 is anchored at ground level to form a lower horizontal support. Steel pipes 26 are welded to the T-profile 25 to make up vertical support connected to steel pull-out joint-pins 27 led through the holes of the upper horizontal support.
The material of the support frame is constructed preferably from two steel U-profile beams welded together. The support frame 24, the T-profile 25, the pipes 26 and the joint-pins 27 can be made of other materials that meet the strength requirements, such as alloyed aluminium or glass fibre reinforced plastic, when the fixing method is chosen according to the selected material.
The practising wall of the tyre space element 2 is constructed by recycled tyres 28 and at the end of each second row recycled tyres 29 with cut edges fixed to each other by using through-bolts, where displacement of the superimposed tyres (28, 29) forming a bonded wall is prevented by removable vertical supports that connect the upper horizontal support and the lower horizontal support, thereby creating a practising wall with diverse and flexible surface which can be used from both sides of the tyre space element 2. The distance between the upper end of the pipes 26 and the lower plane of the upper horizontal support is greater than the height of the tires 28, 29 which allows the tyres 28, 29 being removed or installed after pulling out joint-pins 27.
Figures 3a, 3b, 3c, 3d show a possible implementation of the reflex space element 3 of the ball playfield J according to the present invention. The reflex space element 3 comprises two vertical supports anchored with detachable fasteners to sized foundations from reinforced concrete 30 with stud-bolts 31 through gusset plates 32, and a horizontal support connecting the upper ends of the vertical supports together, where the two vertical supports and the upper horizontal support compose a single rigid support frame 34. Reinforced concrete beam 33 is laid in the ground between the two sized foundations from reinforced concrete 30 to which a T-profile 35 is anchored at ground level forming a lower horizontal support. Pins 36 are welded to the T-profile 35 as vertical supports.
The practising wall of the reflex space element 3 is constructed from column elements 38 that can be turned around a vertical axis and lifted out, the column elements 38 are connected to the pins 36 and to joint-pins 37 led through holes of the upper horizontal support, and the pins 36 are terminated in hemispherical convex surfaces which surfaces form swivel beddings to allow turning of the column elements 38 on their hemispherical concave surfaces. The column elements 38 have long prism shape, the cross section of the columns is bordered by square shape surface at three sides, semicircle shape at the fourth side, in other words, the column elements 38 have flat surfaces on three sides and curved surface on the fourth side.
The T-profile 35, the pins 36, and the joint-pins 37 can be made of other materials that meet the strength requirements, such as alloyed aluminium or glass fibre reinforced plastic, in which case the fixing method is chosen according to the selected material.
The material of the column element 38 is preferably dense reinforced concrete or fibre reinforced concrete or other material, such as steel, alloyed aluminium or waste material recycled from glass fibre reinforced plastic constructed as hollow grid structure meeting the strength requirements, in which case connection methods must be selected according to the material used. Using of different materials allows the creation of surfaces with different properties.
As shown in Figure 3d elevation of the joint-pins 37 allows that the column elements 38 are lifted out. Elevation of the joint-pins 37 further allows that the column elements 38 are turned around a vertical axis as shown in Figure 3c as an example, and by replacement of the joint-pins 37 the column elements 38 are fixed in a set position, allowing to the practising wall of the reflex space element 3 to have different surface characters, thereby creating a practising wall with varied surface, which can be used from both sides of the reflex space element 3.
Even more diverse surface characters can be achieved by utilizing the examples shown in Figure 3e, 3f. Figure 3f shows an example on cross-section implementation of the column elements 38: the first side is a flat surface 70, the second side is a curved surface 71, the third side is a conical surface 72, and the fourth side is a flat elastic surface 73 allowing the creation of practising wall sections with different surface characteristics. Column elements 38 may be made up from three or more sides featuring identical or varying surface shapes, including, for example, cylindrical column elements 38, too.
Figure 3e shows an advanced implementation of the reflex space element 3 of the invention, wherein the upper horizontal support of the support frame 34 can be elevated together with fixed joint-pins 39 led through the holes of the horizontal support, allowing that the column elements 38 are turned in groups.
The upper horizontal support at both end is connected to one of lifting gears made up from shaft 91, eccentric 92, and removable crank handle 93 with the help of lifting bars 90 reaching into the vertical supports, which allows in a first raised position the column elements 38 being turned by any angle and in a second raised position the column elements 38 being lifted out, meanwhile lowering the upper horizontal support makes column elements 38 being fixed in a set position.
