Abstract

The board (4) has a game ball (2) provided on a flexible board body. A secured laminar zone and a gripping area are formed on the body. Receiving elements (3a) are provided on the body. A rigid goalkeeper part (5) is fixed with a long appendix part (51) for gripping the receiving elements.

Description

A game.

Object of the invention

The present invention is referred to as its title indicates a game, of the type of those directed preferably to children's audience and that incorporate a series of intended elements to allow its use on a table or other surface Similary.

Background of the invention

Currently there are many in the market of games intended to allow its use on a table or another similar surface being their purpose purely playful

Some of these games include a series of elements that simulate some sports like football, basketball, hockey, etc., since the game itself consists of throwing balls, chips, discs or other throwing elements in order to introduce them into a receptacle intended for it, and which allows to increase the score of the players as you get it.

The problem with these games is that both the surface or base used for game development as the elements used to throw the balls or chips are generally of great constructive complexity and are shaped in molded plastic materials so both the manufacturing cost of the molds, such as the volume they occupy are excessive

Description of the invention

\hbox{recogida.}

The game object of the present invention presents a series of constructive particularities oriented to obtain a great constructive simplicity in each and every one of the constituent elements thereof, so that the manufacturing cost is significantly lower than those currently known and that occupy a minimum volume, in order to facilitate your

 \ hbox {collection.} 

According to the invention, the game comprises, at least: a game ball; a figure for the launch of the ball, said figure being formed from a body flexible laminar and equipped with a hand grip or grip area and an area for the grip and traction of all or a part of the figure intended to propel the game ball to be released and return to starting position due to own elasticity of the forming sheet body of the figure; a receiving element of the thrown balls, being able to treat said receiving element of a goal, a basketball basket or other Similary; a game board provided with means for assembly and retention thereon of the receiving element and, optionally, a rigid figure, as a goalkeeper, provided with a elongated appendix for its grip and movement through the area of ball access to the ball receiving element.

The conformation from a laminar body flexible of the figures used to throw the ball notably simplifies their manufacturing tasks, since which can be obtained by die cutting and initially presented flat, which facilitates its incorporation as an article promotional on other products intended for children.

According to the invention, it is provided that both the figures for the throwing of the ball, and the figures rigid, present printed or attached identification means which can be, as an example, the image of a player, the shield of a team or any other element that consider appropriate.

In accordance with the invention, and in order to allow the disassembly of the game to keep it in a space reduced, it is planned that the means defined in the board of set for mounting and retaining the ball receiving element are composed of folding eyelashes, defined in the own board, and provided with some passages for the accommodation of flaps defined in the ball receiving element, regardless of the specific configuration of that element receiver; presenting the lapels in question some cleavages of retention in the coupling position.

It is also expected that the laminar body flexible conformant of the figure for the throwing of the ball may present a hole or seat for placement on the same of the ball to throw.

Description of the figures

To complement the description that is being performing and in order to facilitate the understanding of characteristics of the invention, is attached herein descriptive a set of drawings in which, with character Illustrative and not limiting, the following has been represented:

Figure 1 shows a perspective view of an exemplary embodiment of two of the figures used for the thrown from the balls.

Figure 2 shows a perspective view of the game board on which you can see the two figures represented above in the throwing position of the ball as well as the ball receiving element, represented in this case by a goal, and the rigid figure as a goalkeeper positioned over that one.

Figure 3 shows a variant embodiment of the ball receiving element, represented in this case by a Basketball basket.

Figure 4 shows a detail of the means of coupling of the ball receiving element with respect to the board of game.

Preferred Embodiment of the Invention

In the exemplary embodiment shown in the figures the game includes two figures (1a and 1b) that will be the used to throw the ball (2) towards an element receiver (3a or 3b) that can be optionally mounted on a game board (4) being represented the receiving element  (3a) in Figure 2 by a goal and the receiving element (3b) in Figure 3 for a basketball basket.

The figures (1a and 1b) are shaped from of a flexible laminar body, preferably of material plastic, and some media are printed on the front identifiers (11) that can be treated as an example of the Image of a player.

In the exemplary embodiment shown, the Figures (1a and 1b) have an area (12) for their grip or manual hold, and an area (13) for its grip and traction, causing the flexion of the laminar body forming it, with the end that when said zone (13) is released the laminar body conformant of the figure (1a or 1b) return, due to the own elasticity of the material, to the initial position driving the ball (2) towards the ball receiving element, either the goal (3a) or the basketball basket (3b).

Specifically, in figure (1a) the area of grip (13) is formed by an appendix that extends towards the posterior area of one of the legs of the figure (1a), with which the ball (2) will be hit when the grip zone (3) is released once the player's leg is bent towards the area later.

In the figure (1b) the grip area (13) corresponds to the upper area of the figure itself (1b), arranging in this case the mentioned figure (1b) of a seat (14) on the laminar body of figure (1b) for placement of the ball (2) to throw.

As can be seen in figure 2, the game can incorporate in addition to the elements mentioned above a rigid figure (5) provided with an elongated appendix (51) for its grab and move through the access area of the ball (2) to the goal (3a), acting the mentioned rigid figure (5) of goalkeeper. Like the figures (1a and 1b), the rigid figure (5) presents printed some identifying reasons (52), specifically the image of a player.

To fix the receiving element of balls, either the goal (3rd) or the basketball basket (3b), on the game board (1), it is expected that have, as shown in figure 4, some tabs folding (41) provided with passages (42) for accommodation of flaps (31) defined in the receiving elements (3a and 3b), said flaps (31) also having clefts (32) for retention in the coupling position.

Once the nature of The invention, as well as a preferred embodiment, is for the appropriate purposes that the materials, form, size and arrangement of the elements described may be modified, as long as this does not imply an alteration of the essential features of the invention claimed in continuation.
