Portería para canchas de poloGoal for polo fields

SECTOR DE LA TÉCNICATECHNICAL SECTOR

La presente invención se refiere a una portería para canchas de polo.The present invention relates to a goal for polo fields.

El objeto de la invención es proporcionar una portería para la práctica de este deporte que sea fácil de montar así como segura a la hora de recibir un golpe, ya sea del jinete o del caballo.The object of the invention is to provide a goal for the practice of this sport that is easy to assemble as well as safe when receiving a blow, either from the rider or the horse.

ANTECEDENTES DE LA INVENCIÓNBACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

El polo es un deporte de equipos, en el que dos equipos con cuatro jugadores cada uno, montados a caballo, intentan llevar una pequeña pelota de madera hacia la portería del rival, formada por dos postes de mimbre, por medio de un taco. El objetivo consiste en marcar la mayor cantidad de goles. El deporte tradicional del polo se juega en un campo de hierba de 270 por 150 metros, y originalmente las porterías estaban obtenidas en mimbre, materializándose en unos postes cónicos con base de madera, los cuales se fijaban al campo mediante un palo de madera.Polo is a team sport, in which two teams with four players each, mounted on horseback, try to carry a small wooden ball towards the opponent's goal, formed by two wicker posts, by means of a cue. The objective is to score the most goals. The traditional sport of polo is played on a grass field measuring 270 by 150 meters, and originally the goals were made of wicker, materializing in conical posts with a wooden base, which were fixed to the field by means of a wooden pole.

Por seguridad este modelo ha ido cambiando y ha sido sustituido por postes cilíndricos de goma espuma cubierto con una lona.For safety, this model has been changing and has been replaced by cylindrical foam rubber posts covered with a canvas.

Su anclaje al suelo se realiza con un tubo de metal o madera introducido tanto en la goma espuma como en la tierra.It is anchored to the ground with a metal or wooden tube inserted both in the foam rubber and in the ground.

También se hacen bases de hormigón o metal encajadas en el suelo, de las cuales sale un tubo de cobre que va unido a otro de acero que se introduce en la goma espuma. Este tubo de cobre al impacto rompe y debe ser sustituido por otro.Concrete or metal bases embedded in the ground are also made, from which a copper tube comes out that is joined to another made of steel that is inserted into the foam rubber. This copper tube on impact breaks and must be replaced by another.

Ambas opciones suponen un alto riesgo tanto para el jinete como para el caballo por el elemento externo, el tubo metálico, de sujeción.Both options pose a high risk for both the rider and the horse because of the external element, the metal tube, clamping.

De forma más concreta, al producirse un impacto contra estos postes la portería de goma espuma sale de su posición natural dejando al descubierto el hierro metálico y creando así un elemento punzante sumamente peligroso.More specifically, when an impact occurs against these posts, the foam rubber goal comes out of its natural position, exposing the metallic iron and thus creating an extremely dangerous sharp element.

A mayor abundamiento, este sistema presenta otro problema relativo a la dificultad de su montaje por el elaborado proceso de ensamblaje que necesita.Furthermore, this system presents another problem related to the difficulty of its assembly due to the elaborate assembly process that it requires.

EXPLICACIÓN DE LA INVENCIÓNEXPLANATION OF THE INVENTION

La portería para canchas de polo que se preconiza resuelve de forma plenamente satisfactoria la problemática anteriormente descrita en los diferentes aspectos comentados.The goal for polo fields that is recommended solves in a fully satisfactory way the problems described above in the different aspects discussed.

Para ello, la portería de la invención, partiendo de la estructuración convencional de este tipo de porterías, en el que participan dos postes de configuración tronco piramidal alargada, a base de gomaespuma con tubo metálico interior y recubierta por una lona, la portería de la invención centra sus características en el hecho de que su base se divide en dos elementos complementarios que se fijan mediante imanes.For this, the goal of the invention, based on the conventional structuring of this type of goal, in which two posts with an elongated trunk pyramidal configuration participate, based on foam rubber with an interior metal tube and covered by a canvas, the goal of the The invention focuses its characteristics on the fact that its base is divided into two complementary elements that are fixed by magnets.

De forma más concreta, el extremo inferior del poste se vincula a una base discoidal destinada a vincularse y desvincularse magnéticamente a una base de fijación al suelo, igualmente discoidal, y que se fija al suelo mediante al menos una barrena, pasante por un orificio central establecido en dicha base.More specifically, the lower end of the post is linked to a discoidal base designed to be linked and magnetically unlinked to a base for fixing to the ground, also discoidal, and which is fixed to the ground by means of at least one auger, through a central hole. established on said base.

De esta forma, mediante giro de la barrena la base de fijación al suelo se vinculará establemente al mismo de forma rápida y sencilla, eliminando elementos prominentes externos que puedan poner en riesgo la integridad física del jinete o del caballo, de manera que ante un fuerte impacto contra la portería, ésta se desvinculará de su base, sin producir daños ni al caballo ni al jinete por su naturaleza de gomaespuma, siendo fácil y rápidamente re-implantable sobre la base de fijación al suelo mediante simple enfrentamiento a la misma y automática inmovilización por efecto magnético. In this way, by turning the auger, the fixing base to the ground will be stably linked to it quickly and easily, eliminating prominent external elements that could endanger the physical integrity of the rider or horse, so that in the event of a strong impact against the goal, it will be detached from its base, without causing damage to the horse or the rider due to its nature of foam rubber, being easily and quickly re-implantable on the base fixed to the ground by simple confrontation with it and automatic immobilization by magnetic effect.

REALIZACIÓN PREFERENTE DE LA INVENCIÓNPREFERRED EMBODIMENT OF THE INVENTION

A la vista de las figuras reseñadas, puede observarse como la portería para canchas de polo de la invención está constituida, como es convencional, a partir de una pareja de postes (1), de configuración tronco piramidal alargada, en los que se define un núcleo o cuerpo principal a base de gomaespuma con tubo metálico interior y que está recubierto por una lona, pudiendo incluir sobre su extremidad superior un elemento señalizador (2), tal como un banderín o elemento similar que haga mas visible la portería.In view of the figures outlined, it can be seen how the goal for polo fields of the invention is constituted, as is conventional, from a pair of posts (1), with an elongated truncated pyramidal configuration, in which a core or main body based on foam rubber with an interior metal tube and which is covered by a canvas, being able to include on its upper end a signaling element (2), such as a flag or similar element that makes the goal more visible.

Pues bien, a partir de esta estructuración convencional, la portería de la invención presenta la particularidad de que en correspondencia con la extremidad inferior de cada poste (1) se establece una base discoidal (3) la mostrada en la figura 3, fijada a dicho extremidad del poste mediante adhesivo, tornillería, o por cualquier otro medio convencional en la que se establecen una pluralidad de imanes (4) distribuidos equiangularmente sobre su superficie perimetral, si bien la propia base podría ser de naturaleza ferromagnética, o bien la distribución de los imanes variar en configuración y número sin que ello afecte a la esencia de la invención.Well, from this conventional structuring, the goal of the invention has the particularity that in correspondence with the lower end of each post (1) a discoidal base (3) is established, the one shown in Figure 3, fixed to said end of the post by means of adhesive, screws, or by any other conventional means in which a plurality of magnets (4) distributed equiangularly on its perimeter surface are established, although the base itself could be of a ferromagnetic nature, or the distribution of magnets vary in configuration and number without affecting the essence of the invention.

Por su parte, y tal y como muestra las figuras 1 y 2, la base discoidal (3) y consecuentemente el poste (1) está destinada a fijarse por atracción magnética a una base de anclaje al suelo (5) dotada de una pluralidad de imanes (4’) complementarios de los imanes (4) de la base discoidal (3), contando en su zona media con un orificio (6) estrangulado para paso de la cabeza de una barrena (7) de fijación al terreno (8) por simple giro de ésta.For its part, and as shown in Figures 1 and 2, the discoidal base (3) and consequently the post (1) is intended to be fixed by magnetic attraction to a ground anchoring base (5) equipped with a plurality of magnets (4 ') complementary to the magnets (4) of the discoidal base (3), counting in its middle area with a choked hole (6) to pass the head of an auger (7) for fixing to the ground (8) by simple twist of it.

A partir de esta estructuración, y como se ha dicho con anterioridad, se consigue obtener una portería en la que sus postes (1) pueden desvincularse fácilmente y de forma segura ante un fuerte impacto contra la portería, de modo que una vez desvinculado el poste (1), la superficie de juego no incluya elementos prominentes y rígidos que podrían suponer un riesgo para jinetes y caballos. From this structuring, and as has been said previously, it is possible to obtain a goal in which its posts (1) can be easily and safely untied in the event of a strong impact against the goal, so that once the post is untied (1), the playing surface does not include prominent and rigid elements that could pose a risk to riders and horses.
