Abstract
Description
Dispositif de ramassage de balles adaptable aux raquettes de tennis. Ball collecting device adaptable to tennis rackets.
I1 est destiné à permettre au joueur de prendre en main une balle à terre sans se baisser. I1 is intended to allow the player to take in hand a ball on the ground without bending down.
Habituellement sauf s'il y a un ramasseur de balles, les joueurs sont dans l'obligation après chaque lancer de rarnasser les balles pour les services, à cet effet, ils la coincent avec leur raquette contre leurs chaussures et soulèvent leurs jambes pour la mettre à portée de la main. La plupart du temps, ils sont dans l'obligation de se baisser pour les prendre en main. Usually except if there is a ball collector, the players are obliged after each throw to pick up the balls for the services, for this purpose, they wedge it with their racket against their shoes and lift their legs to put it at hand. Most of the time, they have to bend down to take them in hand.
Le dispositif suivant l'invention supprime ces inconvénients et permet d'utiliser le cadre de la raquette et son manche pour ramasser la balle à terre et la prendre en main directement dans n 'importe quelle position même en des endroits peu accessibles. The device according to the invention eliminates these drawbacks and makes it possible to use the frame of the racket and its handle to pick up the ball on the ground and take it in hand directly in any position even in inaccessible places.
II est constitué par la combinaison de l'utilisation des parties rigides du cadre de la raquette comme support suivant un positionnement fonctionnel déterminé d'un adhésif mécanique tel un tissu à crochets avec éléments d'accrochage en nappes souples pourvus de brins de rétention et d'accrochements naturels, artificiels, synthétiques ou mêmes métalliques, c 'est-à-dire en toute matière résistante adhérant sur l'enveloppe en tissu de la balle. It is constituted by the combination of the use of the rigid parts of the racket frame as a support according to a determined functional positioning of a mechanical adhesive such as a hook fabric with hooking elements in flexible plies provided with retention strands and d 'natural, artificial, synthetic or even metallic hooks, that is to say of any resistant material adhering to the fabric envelope of the ball.
Sur les dessins annexés, donnés à titre d'exemple non limitatif, d'une des formes de réalisation de l'objet de l'invention
La figure 1 représente le positionnement fonctionnel des surfaces de tissu à éléments d'accrochement.In the accompanying drawings, given by way of nonlimiting example, of one of the embodiments of the subject of the invention
FIG. 1 represents the functional positioning of the fabric surfaces with hooking elements.
La figure 2 montre le détail de montage de la surface d'accrochement à la partie haute de la raquette. Figure 2 shows the mounting detail of the attachment surface to the upper part of the racket.
Les figures 3 et 4 représentent le fonctionnement du dispositif de ramassage de balles. Figures 3 and 4 show the operation of the bale collection device.
La raquette 1, figure 1, comporte sur les périphéries latérales externes 3, 4 du cadre 2 des surfaces souples à crochets adhésifs. The racket 1, FIG. 1, has on the external lateral peripheries 3, 4 of the frame 2 flexible surfaces with adhesive hooks.
La partie supérieure 6 du cadre, fig 2, est pourvue à la base de ses surfaces débordantes inférieures 7, 8 de deux épaulements 9, 10 préférentiellement en résine synthétique résistante et semi rigide, fixés aux cordages. The upper part 6 of the frame, fig 2, is provided at the base of its lower projecting surfaces 7, 8 with two shoulders 9, 10 preferably made of resistant and semi-rigid synthetic resin, fixed to the ropes.
Ces épaulements dégressifs et profilés pour ne pas enlever à la raquette sa souplesse sont recouverts de tissu à crochets 11, 12 suffisamment débordants pour retenir le tissu 13 de la balle 14. These tapering and profiled shoulders so as not to remove the flexibility of the racket are covered with fabric with hooks 11, 12 which are sufficiently protruding to retain the fabric 13 of the ball 14.
Les faces 6, 7, 8 pouvant également être recouvertes de tissu à crochets par bandes continues ou par secteurs séparés. The faces 6, 7, 8 can also be covered with hook fabric by continuous strips or by separate sectors.
L'extrémité 15 du manche est également recouverte par un tissu adhésif à crochet 16. The end 15 of the handle is also covered by an adhesive hook fabric 16.
L'usager peut ainsi, fig 3, 4, accrocher une balle 17 ou 19 sur le sol 18 et la relever pour la saisir à la main sans se baisser. Il ramassera les balles avec la même facilité en toutes positions. The user can thus, fig 3, 4, hang a ball 17 or 19 on the ground 18 and lift it to grab it by hand without stooping. He will pick up the balls with the same ease in all positions.
L'utilisateur a la possibilité, fig 4, d'accrocher une balle 20 soit verticalement sur le sol 18 ou en utilisant son manche pour passer par exemple sous le grillage, ramener la balle sur la surface de jeu pour la ramasser plus commodément avec les adhésifs 3, 4, 11, 12. The user has the possibility, fig 4, to hang a ball 20 either vertically on the ground 18 or by using his handle to pass for example under the fence, bring the ball back on the playing surface to pick it up more conveniently with the adhesives 3, 4, 11, 12.
La légèreté, la plasticité du tissu adhérant sur sa face portante ni n'alourdissent la raquette, ni ne gênent le joueur dans ses évolutions. The lightness, the plasticity of the fabric adhering to its load-bearing side neither weighs down the racket, nor does it hinder the player in his progress.
De plus les cordages ne provoquent aucune limitation de surface de frappe. In addition, the strings do not cause any limitation of the striking surface.
Il est possible de poser la garniture sur toute la périphérie externe de la raquette ou même sur les faces verticales latérales suivant les nécessités ou les besoins des usagers. It is possible to place the pad on the entire outer periphery of the racket or even on the vertical side faces according to the needs or the needs of the users.
C ' est pourquoi les formes, dimensions et dispositions des différents éléments et la nature des matières utilisées pour la fabrication des crochets pourront varier dans la limite des équivalents sans changer pour cela, la conception générale de l'invention qui vient d'être décrite. This is why the shapes, dimensions and arrangements of the various elements and the nature of the materials used for the manufacture of the hooks may vary within the limit of equivalents without changing for this, the general design of the invention which has just been described.
