FR2541122A1 - Movable training "wall" with oscillating dummies for a footballer - Google Patents

Abstract

The invention relates to a movable training "wall" with oscillating dummies, for footballers during training in shots at goal with a ball on a football pitch. This "wall" comprises a set of plywood footballer silhouettes 1 fastened onto metal frameworks 2 equipped with bearings 4. The set pivots on a cylindrical shaft 6 which is itself mounted on a movable metal frame consisting of two supports 10 and 11 and of a horizontal crosspiece 9 and two other horizontal crosspieces 14. This frame is equipped with four small wheels having solid rubber tyres (two 15 of which can be oriented and two 16 of which are stationary). Immobilisation of the apparatus is achieved with the aid of a blocking system 19 on an orientable small wheel 15 within the scope of its use on a football pitch.

Description

- MOBILE TRAINING "WALL" WITH OSCILLATING MANNEQUINS FOR FOOTBALLER
The object of the present invention consists of a mobile device signaling the point of impact of the soccer ball by the perzistance of the movement in space of independent oscillating mannequins during the training of shots on goal on a field.

 In known devices there are fixed d @ mannequins walls @ made up of various materials (polystyrene, plasticized canvas on mesh, etc.).

The device according to the invention allows better signaling to the fooballer of the point of impact of the ball. This allows him to apply corrections to his shots on goal to get the ball pass over the "wall" of dummies and reach the "storm" defended by the goalkeeper,
Description of the mobile training "wall" device with oscillating dummies for a footballer which is the subject of the invention in the form of an assembly with reference to the appended drawings in which:
BOARD I is a front view of the complete apparatus comprising 5 mannequins oscillating on an axis and suspended on a metal frame fitted with wheels.

 PLATE II is a rear view of the complete apparatus comprising the five mannequins fitted with their metal frame, the suspension system on the metal frame with its wheels.

 PLATE III is a right side view of the device showing a mannequin, its suspension and fixing system on the mobi @ frame, the side of which has a triangular shape.

 PLATE IV represents two detailed partial sections of the oscillating mechanical system supporting a dummy and of the assembly system of the metal parts constituting the frame.

 BOARD Y is a perspective view of the complete device including the five mannequins suspended on the mobile frame as well as the locking system of a wheel ensuring the perfect immobilization of the e seem during its use in the training on a soccer field.

 With reference to FIGS. 1 - II - III - IV - V - VI, the mobile device with oscillating mannequins presents five independent footballer silhouettes 1. Each of these five silhouettes 1 is made of thick plywood and protected by two layers of paint. Each silhouette 1 is fixed to a metal frame in a square tube 2 by seven steel round head bolts 3. This frame 2 is equipped with a welded cylindrical metal bearing 4 at the height of the forearm of the silhouette 1. The part low of the metal frame 2 supports a welded steel counterweight 5 allowing to quickly restore the balance of the silhouette 1 in a vertical position when in use.

The five independent mannequins thus formed are suspended on a cylindrical axis with steel handle 6. This axis 6 crosses the bearings 4 of the annequins and the steel bearings in round tube 7 and 80
These latter are welded themselves on a horizontal high cross in square tube 9.This cross 9 is also suspended on the metal supports in square tube 10 and 11, the assembly being carried out at the two ends by two steel keys square tube 12 welded on these supports 10 and II and two steel bolts 50 The stability of the two supports t and it is ensured by two crossbars in steel square tube 14 at the front and rear by assembling welded keys 12 and steel bolts 13 .

 Four metal casters with solid rubber tires (two swivel casters 15 and two other fixed 16) allow the mobility of the device.

These rollers 15 and 16 are fixed by bolts 17 on four plates 18 welded themselves on the lower parts of the supports 10 and 11.

 Finally, a round steel blocking flange articulated on a metal hinge 19 welded to the lower part of the support 10 ensures the blocking of one of the two steerable wheels 15. The device is thus perfectly immobilized during its use.

 All metal parts are protected by a paint to prevent rust.

 The device described above can be used by schools and football clubs in order to develop the shots on goal of precision of the players.
