  As a response to the fears against CCCD: e.

  . ,,. ,. This invention relates to a volleyball net holder. The invention relates to a volleyball net holder.

  The current volleyball net racks are vertical poles which, although they are located outside the playing field, constitute a certain danger to the Players. It is not uncommon for them to accidentally hit them and injure themselves more or less

seriously against them.

  The present invention proposes to avoid this risk of accident and,

  to do this, it aims at a volleyball net support which is

  is characterized in that it comprises a bracket whose upper end comprises

  fastening means for retaining one of the ends of the net and whose ex-

  lower tremite comprises ground anchoring means, said stem extending parallel to the net and having its lower end offset to the outside

  relative to its upper end.

  The net support according to the present invention makes it possible to clear

  completely the area directly above the net attachment means.

  The chances of the Players colliding with this support are

  therefore much lower than with conventional support posts.

  Advantageously, the fixing means comprise a vertical sleeve

  tical solidaire of the upper end of the gallows and a mounted column

  sliding in the sleeve, this column comprising fastening members

  upper and lower geometry to retain the corresponding end of the net.

  It is sufficient, of course, to properly position the column

  relative to the sleeve to adjust the net to the desired height.

  As for the anchoring means, they consist of at least one vertical finger projecting under the lower end of the gallows and which

  is received with a weak game in a recess in the ground.

  The installation of Fa'.t support can thus be carried out

extremely simple and fast.

  According to a particular embodiment of the invention, the bracket supports an arbitration podium comprising a horizontal platform provided with a railing and whose '- in the opposite! ', is connected to the ground by

through a ladder.

  Unlike the current podiums, this podium has no foot on its face which is turned towards the net and in turn allows (

  to improve the safety of the players against the risk of collision.

  Preferably, the platform has on its part located the c & -

  net a notch receiving the gallows with a weak game.

  This podium can thus be installed quickly and securely on the net support. It is also easy to understand that its weight is much lower than that of the current podiums, which not only makes it easier to handle but also to achieve it with

cost price more competitive.

  An embodiment of the present invention will be described hereinafter by way of non-limiting example with reference to the accompanying drawings in which: Figure 1 is a side view of a net holder according to the invention; FIG. 2 is a view of the support from its face which is at the set bone of the net; and

  Figure 3 is a top view of the support.

  The volleyball net support that can be seen on the, includes a bracket 1 whose upper end has attachment means 2 for holding one of the ends of the net 3 and whose end

  lower comprises ground anchoring means 4.

  The stem I is arranged parallel to the thread 3 so that its lower extremity is offset outwardly relative to its upper end. In the exemplary embodiment shown, it is constituted by an inclined box made of sheet metal, but it goes without saying that it would not be outside the scope of the present invention if it had a

  configuration and a different section.

  The fastening means 2 comprise a vertical sleeve 5 attached to the upper end of the stem t Bu a column 6 mounted sliding

  in the sleeve 5. The column 6 protrudes on each side of the sleeve and-

  has at each of its ends hooking members 7, 8 made in a manner known per se to retain the corresponding end of the net It further comprises -: - e opposite d.

  so easily adjust the height of the net.

  It will be further specified that the sleeve and the column have a square section but that they could of course have a circular section or

in any other form.

  The anchoring means 4 are constituted. as for them by a vertical finger 10 making a1llie under the lower face of a base 11 fixed under the ote-c- 'parallel to the net, this finger being received with a weak Game in a recess 12 delimited by a sleeve of which upper end

is flush with the ground surface.

  In the case of a playing field that can be used for both volleyball and tennis, the scabbard could be the usual one

  used for setting up a tennis pole.

  It will be noted here that the base 11 could be longer than

  the one shown in the drawing so as to extend further under the

  this 1 and i thus increase the stability of the net support. A second finger

  vertical 10 could also be added if necessary.

  According to another feature of the invention, the bracket 1 supports an arbitration podium comprising a horizontal platform 13 provided with a railing 14. The part of the platform which is located opposite the net 3 is connected to the ground via a ladder 15 while its part which is located on the side of the net has a notch 16

  receiving the gallows with a weak game and allowing the realization of an assem-

  perfectly stable bond between the net support and the podium.

  Referring in particular to Figure 1, we will finally be able to

  However, thanks to the particular structure of the net support and the podium of arbitration according to the invention, the space under the bracket 1 is completely clear so that the players are much less likely to be injured than if the we used a vertical pole to support the net

  and an arbitration podium with two feet on its face facing the net.
