Abstract

The invention relates to a device making it possible to hold balls around the user's waist, in boxes (cans). Each tapered box (Fig. 1) consists of a wider opening (1) with two inner rims (3 and 4) via which the ball is inserted, pressure by the user on the ball via this opening (1) permits its exit via the narrower opening (2). Two slots (5 and 6) permit the passage of a belt. The nesting of several boxes (Fig. 1) makes it possible to constitute a storage box (Fig. 2) held by the position of the rim (7) between the rims (5 and 6). The device according to the invention is intended particularly for tennis balls.

Description

La présente invention concerne un dispositif permettant de maintenir des balles de sport ou de jeux autour d'une partie du corps humain. The present invention relates to a device for holding sports or games balls around a part of the human body.

Les balles sont traditionellement mises par l'utilisateur dans les poches de son vêtement. Elles déforment le vêtement portE et provoque une silouhette peu esthétique. Suivant le nombre de poche et leur grandeur, le nombre de balle mises en réserve est limité et elles ne sont souvent pas facile à ranger ou à extraire des poches. Quand l'utilisateur n'a pas de poche il en garde à la main ce qui le gêne pour jouer ou il les pose au sol et risque en se déplaçant de tomber en marchant dessus. The balls are traditionally put by the user in the pockets of his clothing. They distort the clothing worn and cause an unsightly silhouette. Depending on the number of pockets and their size, the number of bales put in reserve is limited and they are often not easy to store or extract pockets. When the user does not have a pocket, he keeps some in his hand which bothers him for playing or he puts them on the ground and risks moving by falling while walking on them.

Le dispositif selon l'invention permet de remédier à ces inconvénients. Il se compose d'une boite (fig 2) divisée en plusieurs parties pouvant chacune acceuillir une balle (fig i) et être accrochée sur une ceinture portée autour de la taille du corps humain. La forme évasée de chaque boite (fig 1) permet l'introduction rapide d'une balle par le coté le plus large tl) . La forme évasée et les rebords (3 et 4) empêchent la balle de sortir de son logement et de tomber au sol. Une simple pression par l'utilisateur sur la balle par l'ouverture la plus large (1) permet d'extraire la balle par l'ouverture plus étroite (2) et de la récupérer. The device according to the invention overcomes these drawbacks. It consists of a box (fig 2) divided into several parts which can each accommodate a ball (fig i) and be hung on a belt worn around the waist of the human body. The flared shape of each box (fig 1) allows the rapid introduction of a ball by the larger side tl). The flared shape and the edges (3 and 4) prevent the ball from coming out of its housing and falling to the ground. A simple pressure by the user on the bale through the widest opening (1) makes it possible to extract the bale through the narrower opening (2) and to recover it.

Deux fentes (5 et 6) au dos de chaque boite (fig 1) permettent de glisser une ceinture ou tout autre élément permettant d'attacher une ou des boites (fig 1) autour d'une partie du corps de l'utilisateur. La ou les boites (fig 1) seront accrochées de préférence autour de la taille dans le dos de l'utilisateur pour ne pas gêner ses mouvements. Two slots (5 and 6) on the back of each box (fig 1) allow a belt or any other element to be used to attach one or more boxes (fig 1) around a part of the user's body. The box (es) (fig 1) will preferably be hung around the waist behind the user's back so as not to hinder his movements.

Un rebord (7) à l'extérieur de la partie la plus étroite (2) et deux rebords (3 et 4) à l'intérieur de la partie la plus large (1) permettent par simple pression en emboitant les boites de glisser le rebord (7) entre les deux rebords (3 et 4) et de reconstituer la boite principale de rangement (fig 2). Il suffit ensuite de rajouter un couvercle à chaque extrémité. A flange (7) outside the narrowest part (2) and two flanges (3 and 4) inside the widest part (1) allow by sliding the boxes to slide ledge (7) between the two ledges (3 and 4) and to reconstitute the main storage box (fig 2). Then just add a cover at each end.

Selon des variantes non illustrées le système pour accrocher la ceinture (5 et 6) peut- & re extérieur à chaque boite (fig 1). Le système de reconstitution de la boite de rangement peut être à vis ou tout autre système bloquant. According to variants not illustrated, the system for hanging the belt (5 and 6) can be external to each box (fig 1). The storage box reconstitution system can be screw or any other blocking system.

Chaque boite (fig 1) peut permettre au moment de la première mise en boite des balles à la fabrication, de les séparer hermétiquement et de les garder pressurises jusqu't utilisation. Le nombre de balles mises en service par l'utilisateur étant actuellement dépendant du système d'emballage, environ quatre balles et ne correspond pas obligatoirement aux besoins. Each box (fig 1) can allow at the time of the first boxing of the bales during manufacture, to separate them hermetically and to keep them pressurized until use. The number of bales put into service by the user is currently dependent on the packaging system, around four bales and does not necessarily correspond to requirements.

Les (fig.l) et (fig.2) ne sont là que pour illustrer l'invention. Leurs dimensions ne peuvent être limitatives. The (fig.l) and (fig.2) are only there to illustrate the invention. Their dimensions cannot be limiting.

Car elles dépendent de la circonférence de la balle et de l'épaisseur du matériau employées.Because they depend on the circumference of the bale and the thickness of the material used.

Le dispositif selon l'invention est plus particulièrement destiné au maintient autour de la taille d'un corps humain de balles de tennis. The device according to the invention is more particularly intended for holding tennis balls around the waist of a human body.

Claims

1) Device for holding sports balls or games around a part of the human body. Characterized by flared boxes (fig 1) having a wider opening (1) allowing the introduction of the ball. By simple pressure by the same opening (1) on the ball by the user, the latter exits through the opening plus box (2). Each box is provided with two slots (5 and 6) allowing the passage of a belt or similar element

Each box has two flanges (3 and 4) inside the widest part (1) and a flange (7) on the outside of the narrowest part (2).

2) Device according to claim 1 characterized in that the shape of the box (fig 1) and the flanges (3 and 4) keep the ball in the box (fig 1) even in movement.

3) Device according to claim 1 characterized in that the boxes (fig 1) can fit into each other by simple pressure and are held by the passage of the flange (7) between the two flanges (3 and 4). They thus form a storage box (fig 2).

4) Device according to claim 1 in that the belt passed through the slots (5 and 6) attaches around the waist and places the boxes (fig 1) in the back of the user.

5) Device according to claim 1 characterized in that each box (fig 1) can- & re hermetically closed at the time of manufacture.
