Description

DESCRIPTION

Concave frontis.

The present invention, as expressed in the statement of this specification, refers to a concave frontis or bounce wall, intended for training, evaluation, entertainment, improvement and competition of sports with ball or ball, in which the wall rebound is a key element.

Said concave façade has been conceived and made to obtain numerous and notable advantages over the usual plan-shaped ones. These advantages, which will be described in detail later, represent a notable improvement in the current state of the art.

Technique sector

The field of application of the present invention falls within the field of sports facilities construction, focusing on the field of ball or ball sports in which a rebound wall is used.

Background of the Invention

Ball games in general have been present in many previous civilizations: Egyptians, Chinese, Greeks, Phoenician Romans, Aztecs ... All of them had a more or less playful activity that developed around a ball.

Closer references take us back to the 13th century in France, where "jeu de palme" was played. In one of its variants, the frontis appears, a flat wall where the players must return the ball on each move.

There is documentary evidence of a primitive ball game against a wall practiced by the Spanish in the American colonies in the 17th century.

These types of games have undergone evolutions depending on the characteristics of the available ball, hitting instrument and other local adaptations.

Thus, the sport of "hitting the ball against the wall" can currently be enjoyed in these modalities: handball, fronton paddle, basket tip, Valencian ball, frontenis, squash, ping pong ...

The rules and dimensions of the playing court are different and as a general rule they are mainly adapted to the speed of the ball after hitting and the elastic properties of the ball and the court.

There is a characteristic common to these ball sports and it is that the frontis, front wall where the players must return the ball in each play, is a vertical and flat surface. In these conditions a parallel backhand hit is returned by the pediment also backwards, the same happens with drive shots. Likewise a backhand / cross drive will be returned to the drive / backhand hitting.

The use of concave frontis or bounce wall is an innovation in this type of ball games, providing a radical alteration in the dynamics of the games in question, because by having a non-flat wall, concave with respect to the position of the players, a parallel backhand shot would be returned by the pediment to the player's drive. In the same way, a parallel drive would return backwards and the cross shots return to their origin.

It is thus possible:

- Greater dynamism in ball games with bounce in the frontis

- Development of player skills

- New applications such as training camp or individual practice

- New sports and entertainment to develop

As a reference to the state of the art in the field of the installation of tracks with rebound walls, it should be noted that the applicant does not know of the existence of gates that have the same or similar technical characteristics to those presented in this report and whose Distinctive details are conveniently included in the final claims in this document.

Explanation of the invention

This invention is presented as a new ball and bounce sports game system on the wall, which can be built or mounted in any location (indoor, outdoor), without the need for large investments, or the availability of large areas of terrain, with a Simple construction or assembly, a multipurpose playing court, which serves both leisure, training, improvement or competition.

The innovative part of the invention is:

Front or concave rebound wall

The proposed frontis is vertical and has a concave curved plan from the point of view of the players, and can be pure concave (figures 1 and 2), flat-concave (figures 3 and 4) or with variable concavity (figures 5 and 6) .

Brief description of the drawings

To complement the description that is being made and in order to help a better understanding of the characteristics of the invention, the following figures have been shown as an integral part of said description: the figures are illustrative and not limiting:

FIGURE 1. Sports court with concave frontis: pure concave, plan view

FIGURE 2. Sports track with concave façade: pure concave, perspective view FIGURE 3. Sports track with concave frontis: mix of rectum and concave, top view FIGURE 4. Sports track with concave façade: mix of rectum and concave, top view perspective FIGURE 5. Sports court with concave fronts: variable concavity, plan view FIGURE 6. Sports court with concave fronts: variable concavity, perspective view The different elements that make up the track have been referenced in the different figures: 1. Frontis or bounce wall

2. Horizontal base of play undefined shape

PREFERRED EMBODIMENT OF THE INVENTION

In view of the aforementioned figures, and according to the numbering adopted, a non-limiting example of the sports court system with concave frontis for ball or ball games, object of the present invention, can be seen.

Since the concave façade can be used in various sports, the performance regarding the degree of concavity and dimensions of the track must be adapted to the game in question. The individual use will be made preferably for training or improvement.
