Abstract

A basketball game for children, of the type comprising a playing track with cavities from which a ball is driven towards a basket characterized in that the driving of the ball is obtained by a jet of air supplied by the own player by pressing a bellows, with the particularity that the opposing player can also deflect or stop the trajectory of the lifted ball with a corresponding air transmission, in such a way that the participating players always take an active position, either in attack or defense.

Description

The present invention relates to a basketball game

for children.

  There are already several toys intended for playing basketball, most of them having mechanical lever-like means or the like for driving the ball, these games generally having a track with a plurality of cavities for receiving the ball. or the

  ball is driven by the corresponding mechanism.

  These games already known, besides the complexity of their general structure and control means, which make

  the game of high cost and considerable weight, pre-

  feel for the children who play the serious disadvantage that it can also happen that a player plays several strokes in a row in order to score a basket, while

  that the other player can not intervene until a

  deny is marked or that by chance the ball falls into

  one of the cavities corresponding to the controls of the ball.

  The above disadvantage has been overcome by the game being the subject of this invention by providing that in this game, the two or more players participating in the game may play continuously to the extent o, or they own the ball. , or they can try

  to take it from the opponent or even to deflect

  ball jectory led by another player.

  This new basketball game is therefore based on the training of the ball by a jet of air provided by the own player with a bellows-type control so that when the ball is in the air , the two opposing players can act on the ball to deflect its trajectory and thus prevent the

  pass or mark the basket by the stroke of the opponent.

  This basketball game has no mechanism and with a simple command, it is possible to obtain a thrust of air towards one or more nozzles provided in each of the cavities of the track, said nozzles being oriented in a convenient manner according to their location. on the track. -2 - Various other characteristics of the invention

  come out from the detailed description which

  follows. An embodiment of the subject of the invention is represented, by way of nonlimiting examples,

in the accompanying drawings.

  Figure 1 shows a partial lateral projection

  fragmented of the new basketball game.

  Figure 2 shows a plan view of this game, and

  Figure 3 shows a cross-sectional elevation of

  dirty game along the line III-III of Figure 2.

  As shown in the drawings, the game comprises a track 1 forming a fence 2 or ramp all around and also comprising the formation of several cavities 3 distributed

  conveniently according to the basic rules of the basketball game.

  ball, the corresponding prescribed game lines 4

  being duly marked on the track.

  On both sides of this track are three

  5a, 5b, 5c, and 5a ', 5b', 5c 'formed by buttons

  respective pushers acting on respective bellows

  6 which, by flexible ducts 7, cause the air to flow towards the nozzles 8 appearing outside via the associated orifices 8 'at the bottom of the cavities 3, which have a suitable inclination for directing the air jet towards the zone o are the respective baskets 9 and 10

  properly connected to their respective boards or

  11 supported by respective arms 12 connected to the

  Ramp 2 of the track in their opposite extreme areas.

  In the upper part of Tables 11 are provided

scoreboards 13.

  The game is very simple, two or more players can participate and each push button or command is connected to two nozzles, so that when a player throws the ball P out of its cavity 3 of the track, as we can see with the arrow F of FIG. 1, the opposing player, by pressing the corresponding command, can act on the ball when it is in the air by means of an air jet F 'and this how to deflect the ball from its initial trajectory to the basket or even to pass it in a determined cavity 3.

  The invention, essentially, can be implemented

  in other embodiments which differ only in

  basketball can be made in any other form.
