Descrizione del Brevetto per Invenzione Industriale avente per titolo: “PUTTING GREEN A MORFOLOGIA VARIABILE PER IL GIOCO DEL GOLF” Description of the Patent for Industrial Invention entitled: "PUTTING GREEN WITH VARIABLE MORPHOLOGY FOR THE GAME OF GOLF"
DESCRIZIONE DESCRIPTION
La presente invenzione ha come oggetto nuovo putting green a i morfologia variabile, particolarmente adatto per il gioco del golf. The present invention relates to a new putting green with variable morphology, particularly suitable for the game of golf.
Il campo dell’invenzione è quello dei putting green a morfologia variabile, che simulano, in modo artificiale, le diverse esperienze dell’azione di putting nel gioco del golfo. The field of the invention is that of putting greens with variable morphology, which simulate, in an artificial way, the different experiences of putting action in the game of the gulf.
A tale scopo sono attualmente noti dei putting green controllati da sistemi computerizzati, i quali ne modificano la morfologia o il percorso, a partire da sistemi meccanici (solitamente meccanismi a cilindro e pistone), i quali hanno lo svantaggio di essere considerevolmente complessi e di richiedere una difficile ed elaborata manutenzione. For this purpose, putting greens controlled by computerized systems are currently known, which modify their morphology or course, starting from mechanical systems (usually cylinder and piston mechanisms), which have the disadvantage of being considerably complex and requiring a difficult and elaborate maintenance.
Costituisce lo scopo principale della presente invenzione quello di fornire un putting green a morfologia variabile il quale, a differenza dei noti sistemi dello stesso tipo, sia più semplice e più facilmente riparabile ! in caso di malfunzionamento. The main purpose of the present invention is to provide a putting green with variable morphology which, unlike known systems of the same type, is simpler and more easily repairable! in case of malfunction.
Questo ed altri scopi sono raggiunti con il putting green della rivendicazione 1. This and other purposes are achieved with the putting green of claim 1.
Dei preferiti modi di realizzare l’invenzione risultano delle restanti rivendicazioni. Preferred ways of carrying out the invention result from the remaining claims.
Rispetto ai putting green della tecnica nota, quello secondo l’invenzione offre il vantaggio di essere reso molto semplice, grazie all’uso di cuscini gonfiabili o riempibili con fluidi ad alta pressione. Compared to the putting greens of the known technique, the one according to the invention offers the advantage of being made very simple, thanks to the use of inflatable cushions or those that can be filled with high pressure fluids.
Inoltre la collocazione dei mezzi di riempimento dei cuscini all’esterno del corpo del putting green facilita considerevolmente gli interventi di manutenzione sugli stessi. Furthermore, the placement of the filling means of the cushions outside the body of the putting green considerably facilitates maintenance interventions on the same.
Questi ed altri scopi, vantaggi e caratteristiche risultano dalla descrizione che segue di un preferito modo di realizzare il putting greeen dell’invenzione illustrato, a titolo di esempio non limitativo, nelle figure dei disegni allegati, in cui: These and other purposes, advantages and characteristics result from the following description of a preferred way of making the putting green of the invention illustrated, by way of non-limiting example, in the figures of the attached drawings, in which:
la figura 1 illustra in modo schematico il putting green dell’invenzione, provvisto dei relativi sistemi di controllo sulla morfologia dello stesso; Figure 1 schematically illustrates the putting green of the invention, equipped with the related control systems on the morphology of the same;
la figura 2 illustra lo schema del sistema di compressionedecompressione di un’unità del putting green a morfologia variabile; Figure 2 illustrates the scheme of the compression and decompression system of a putting green unit with variable morphology;
la figura 3 illustra il particolare del sistema di controllo di riempimento di un cuscino dell’unità di figura 2; figure 3 illustrates the detail of the filling control system of a cushion of the unit of figure 2;
la figura 4 illustra una variante di realizzazione dell’unità di figura 2; la figura 5 illustra in sezione trasversale un esempio di putting green realizzato secondo l’invenzione. Figure 4 illustrates a variant embodiment of the unit of Figure 2; Figure 5 illustrates in cross section an example of a putting green made according to the invention.
Il putting green dell’invenzione è indicato complessivamente con 1 in figura 1. The putting green of the invention is indicated as a whole with 1 in figure 1.
Esso si compone di una copertura 2, al di sotto della quale è disposta una pluralità di cuscini 3 realizzati di materiale flessibile e resistente. It consists of a cover 2, under which a plurality of cushions 3 made of flexible and resistant material are arranged.
Questi cuscini sono riempiti con un fluido in pressione (aria o un liquido come l’acqua), alimentato da un sistema di tubi 4 controllati da rispettive valvole 9 montate sul blocco 5 di distribuzione del fluido di riempimento dei cuscini 3. These cushions are filled with a pressurized fluid (air or a liquid such as water), fed by a system of pipes 4 controlled by respective valves 9 mounted on the distribution block 5 of the filling fluid of the cushions 3.
Inoltre ogni valvola 9 è collegata rispettivamente a un compressore 6 e a un decompressore 7, i quali comunicano attraverso la detta vaivola 9, e di qui con il cuscino 3, per mezzo di un rispettivo condotto 4. Furthermore, each valve 9 is connected respectively to a compressor 6 and to a decompressor 7, which communicate through said valve 9, and hence with the cushion 3, by means of a respective duct 4.
Il sistema di riempimento/svuotamento dei cuscini 3 è controllato da un PCL 8, il quale regola l’apertura/chiusura delle valvole 9 di ciascun cuscino 3, in modo da modificare la morfologia del putting green 1 in funzione della richiesta del giocatore. The filling / emptying system of the cushions 3 is controlled by a PCL 8, which regulates the opening / closing of the valves 9 of each cushion 3, in order to modify the morphology of the putting green 1 according to the player's request.
Il mezzo fluido di riempimento dei singoli cuscini 3 può essere un gas (preferibilmente aria) o un liquido (per esempio l’acqua). The fluid medium for filling the individual cushions 3 can be a gas (preferably air) or a liquid (for example water).
I suddetti cuscini sono realizzati di materiale flessibile, adatto per passare da una posizione completamente schiacciata (cuscino vuoto) ad una completamente gonfia (cuscino pieno), e viceversa. The aforementioned cushions are made of flexible material, suitable for passing from a completely compressed position (empty cushion) to a fully inflated position (full cushion), and vice versa.
Di preferenza il putting green 1 comprende un insieme di unità 10, ciascuna formata da una pluralità di cuscini 3 (figura 2). Preferably, the putting green 1 comprises a set of units 10, each formed by a plurality of cushions 3 (Figure 2).
Secondo la variante di realizzazione illustrata in figura 4, il putting green 1 comprende una pluralità di cuscini che formano una unità composita stratificata 11, a sua volta formata da un cuscino 12 di dimensioni maggiori, al di sopra del quale sono disposte una o più unità 10 di cuscini 3. According to the variant embodiment illustrated in figure 4, the putting green 1 comprises a plurality of cushions which form a layered composite unit 11, in turn formed by a cushion 12 of larger dimensions, above which one or more units are arranged. 10 of cushions 3.
Nella forma di realizzazione illustrata in figura 5, il putting green 1 comprende una copertura 2 al di sotto della quale sono disposti nell’ordine: una base 13 provvista di canalizzazioni 14 per il passaggio dei tubi 4; dei cuscini grandi 12, riempiti con aria o acqua; e degli strat superiori sovrapposti di cuscini 3, allo stato di cuscino pieno 3a e di cuscino vuoto 3b. In the embodiment illustrated in Figure 5, the putting green 1 comprises a cover 2 below which are arranged in the order: a base 13 provided with channels 14 for the passage of the tubes 4; 12 large pillows, filled with air or water; and of the superimposed upper layers of cushions 3, in the state of full cushion 3a and empty cushion 3b.
