Abstract

Ball usable in games for people with visual disabilities, characterized by containing two sound devices (3) and (4) where one is internal to the surrounding spherical surface (4) and the other is housed on this surface through a capsule appropriate (5), so that the first device is an intermittent discontinuous buzzer (4) that can be turned on or off voluntarily through a suitable element (8) located on the spherical surface and the second device is of the rattle type (3). ) that is activated only with the movement of the ball.

Description

Ball usable in games for people with visual disability.

Object of the invention

The present invention, as expressed in the set forth in this specification, refers to a ball Usable in games for people with visual impairment, which It has been conceived and carried out in order to obtain greater advantages with respect to other existing means of analogous purposes.

This ball is scheduled to issue two different sounds. Well, the ball is based on a sphere inside which are housed the two devices that emit the two sounds mentioned above.

Background of the invention

Other balls are known that are also Game-oriented for people with visual impairment.

In this sense, balls such as used in Football for the Blind or in the Goal ball. They are balls hollows that use the jingle system, which are loose inside the ball.

This system has the disadvantage that when the ball stops it does not emit any sound. This is due to that the bells can only emit sound if the ball is found in motion rolling on the ground.

Description of the invention

This ball presents a new structure in base to which improvements are achieved in several aspects.

Facilitate the visually impaired player the perception of the speed of movement of the ball. For this has been housed each rattle in an individual capsule near The surface of the ball.

Make possible the detection of the ball by the Blind player when it has stopped. This has been done a buzzer device installed in the central area of the ball flashing that when activated emits a discontinuous sound.

In addition, both sound devices, the rattles and the intermittent buzzer are installed so that They can withstand the blows the ball can receive. I also know have installed so that if the ball hit a person, at no time these devices can harm you, since it They are well insured inside.

To complement the description that then it will be done and in order to help a better understanding of the features of the invention, accompanies the present descriptive memory of a sectional plane of the ball in base whose figures innovations will be more easily understood and advantages of this ball object of the invention.

Brief description of the drawings

Figure 1.- Sample of a view of the section of the ball showing the different pieces and / or devices of the ball that constitute the object of the invention.

Description of a preferred embodiment

In view of the commented figure, you can observe how the ball (figure 1) is mainly constituted by a spherical body (1) made in one piece. The material The padding used to make it was foam rubber (2). This material allows to reduce the bounces of the ball to the maximum and favor so roll on the ground. Also this flexible material (2), thanks to the fact that it dampens the impacts on the ball, it protects to the maximum the sound devices, bells (3) and buzzer discontinuous (4), which the ball contains.

The only holes the ball has in its interior are made for the accommodation of the two types of sound devices that it contains. The bells (3) and the discontinuous buzzer (4).

Each rattle (3) is housed in a capsule cylindrical (5). The rattle is fixed to its capsule (5) with a thread of nylon, so that the rattle (3) can move freely without getting out of its capsule (5).

The discontinuous buzzer device (4) goes housed in a cylindrical PVC pipe (6) which is located in the central core of the ball. To access this central core of the ball in which the inner cylinder (6) is located in which the discontinuous buzzer device (4) is housed, the ball It has a cover (7) whose upper part is manufactured with the same material from which the ball is made, said cover (7) is foam rubber cover. Thus, by means of this cover (7), The inside of the ball can be easily accessed, thus allowing activate and / or deactivate said buzzer device at will discontinuous (4) by means of a switch (8).

In case the buzzer battery (4) is use up, it will be easy to replace it by removing the cylinder inside (6) of the ball in which the buzzer device is housed flashing with its corresponding battery (4).

The buzzer device (4) when activated by middle of the switch (8) emits, without interruption, a sound discontinuous as intermittent beeps.

Claims (2)

1. Ball usable in games for people with visual impairment, characterized by containing two sound devices (3) and (4) where one is internal to the spherical surface envelope (4) and the other is housed on this surface through a capsule appropriate (5), so that the first device is an intermittent discontinuous buzzer (4) that can be switched on or off voluntarily through a suitable element (8) located on the spherical surface and the second device is rattle type (3 ) which is operated only with the movement of the ball. 2. Ball usable in games for people with visual impairment, according to claim 1, characterized in that the ball is made of padded material both on its surface (1) and inside (2).
