Description

IMPROVEMENTS IN THE OBJECT OF THE MAIN PATENT N ° 200930941,

BY uPISTA FOR BALL GAMESquot;

The present invention relates to improvements in the object of the main patent No. 200930941, by upista for ball games.

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

There are known tracks for ball games that comprise one to four walls that delimit the playing space. The greater the number of walls, the greater the chances of playing and batting, that is, the frequency of hitting the ball.

The simplest tracks comprise a single front wall against which a ball is thrown, with dividing lines that delimit the playing space.

The tracks composed of two walls include a front wall and a side wall attached to said front wall, such as those used in the sport of the Basque ball. The side wall closes one side of the game space longitudinally and improves the creativity of the game. However, the height and length of both walls significantly limits the viewing angle from the outside.

The tracks that are made up of three walls can be of two types. A first type of track includes a front wall, a left side wall and a rebound back wall, keeping the other side open. In addition, they can be covered by a roof. These types of tracks are used for example for the sport of pediment.

In

he case from tracks from long length be improvement the

creativity of

game. Without embargo, to the same that in he case

from

two walls, the view since he Exterior remains very

limited

He

second kind from track It includes a wall

front, and two side walls. The right wall can serve as a left wall for another attached game court. However, the right wall limits the orientation of the track as it reduces the brightness considerably,

5 forcing to place the front wall facing north. In addition, said right wall improves the creativity of the game very little. Similarly, the view from the outside is very limited.

The tracks that include four walls usually

10 be inside buildings, and include a front wall, a back wall, and two side walls, and may be covered by a roof. These types of tracks are used for sports such as the ratchet, squash or racquetball. However, they present the problem of

15 location of the public, and also the view from the outside is very limited. To solve these problems, the ball court described in the main patent was designed, which is of the type comprising a surface

20 main rectangular play defined by two perimeter lines, and limited by a front wall, a partial side wall attached to said front wall, and a rebound rear wall. The rear bounce wall is slightly inclined towards the

25 outside the track at an angle greater than ninety degrees with respect to the pavement. In this way, the inclination of the rear wall allows changing the action of the ball, since the ball will respond with a more travel parabola

3 Or high, increasing your time in the air before touching the ground. In addition, it is possible to reduce the horizontal travel of the ball, modifying the integration of the rebound in the game in a more practical way, varying the possibilities of response and interaction of the

35 players

The rear bounce wall may be separated from said partial side wall, determining a passage opening. Said passage opening allows access to the main playing surface, and also allows the expansion of the playing area as will be explained hereafter.

The track may also include a first outer play zone disposed adjacent to said passage opening, and a second outer play zone, arranged adjacent to the side devoid of a wall opposite to said partial side wall and said passage opening.

Thanks to these outdoor play areas, a wider total playing surface is achieved compared to a conventional pediment or similar track, thus increasing the playing possibilities.

In this way, if the ball goes out in any of said exterior areas, the player can go out to look for it, either through the passage opening or by crossing the side devoid of wall, to return it inside the main surface without stopping the game.

These outdoor areas, in addition to allowing access to the track, also provide ample visibility from the outside, which makes the track

from

the invention be a place diaphanous, diminishing the

possible

problems from vandalism or crime, Y by

so much

getting better the security from the players Y he

maintenance

of the space of game.

However, the possibilities of play on this track are limited to certain ball games, such as the pediment or similar, where no other physical element is involved other than the ball and the walls of the court itself.

DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

The objective of the track for ball games of

The present invention is to solve the drawbacks of the tracks known in the art,

providing

a track that It allows optimize the

possibilities

from game with a setting structural

simple.

The

improvements in he object of the main patent

No. 200930941, per track for ball games ;, they are of the type that comprise a main rectangular playing surface defined by each perimeter lines, and limited by a front wall, a partial side wall attached to said front wall, and a wall rear bounce, said rear bounce wall being separated from said partial side wall, determining a passage opening, and said track comprising a first outer play area disposed adjacent to said pass opening, and a second outer play zone disposed adjacent to the side devoid of a wall opposite to said partial side wall and said passage opening, and is characterized by the fact that the playing court includes an area intended for the basketball game arranged transversely to the main surface of the game, and provided with paths baskets arranged respectively in said first and second outdoor play areas.

In this way, they are able to increase and improve the possibilities of play in the same game track.

Preferably, the basketball playing area is delimited by two of its sides by the bounce back wall and a line drawn on the ground, and by its other two sides, where the baskets are placed, by means of two separate partition walls of the first and second outdoor play areas,

respectively.

Advantageously, the playing court is also capable of being used as a soccer field, including the front wall and the rear bounce wall defined goals on said walls.

According to one embodiment, the goal represented on the front wall is defined by taking advantage of a horizontal metal sheet frame intended for the ball game, such as a pediment, and two vertical lines, one line being drawn on the front wall while the other line is defined by the connecting edge between said front wall and the adjacent protection panel, and the other goal being drawn on the rear bounce wall.

According to another embodiment, both goals are drawn respectively on the front and rear bounce walls.
