DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a shuttlecock for night leisure in which badminton can be enjoyed even in darkness at night by connecting a light emitter to the shuttlecock.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art In general, shuttlecocks for badminton competitions use expensive ones made of waterfowl wings, but the birdcock shuttlecocks are very expensive and fragile for use by ordinary people. Uses a wide range of shuttlecocks made of plastic wings.

[0003] Recently, luminous paint has been mixed into the shuttlecock wings so that the shuttlecock can be moved even at night so that badminton can be easily enjoyed in a small space even in a cool evening. There are also things.

[0004] Known techniques related to the shuttlecock as described above include the following.

[0005] Republic of Korea Utility Model Publication No. 94-2027
In the luminous badminton shuttlecock of No. 0 (September 15, 1994), the shuttlecock is formed by mixing luminous paint into one of a cap-shaped striking head or a wing at the time of molding to form the shuttlecock. The emitted light makes it possible to enjoy badminton even in the dark at night.

However, with such a configuration, it is possible to mix the luminous paint into the wings to some extent, but the luminous paint is mixed with cork or synthetic resin constituting the striking head attached to the tip. There was a problem that it was not technically easy.

Therefore, mixing a luminous paint with a striking head for imparting flight elasticity to the shuttlecock has a limit in realizing a luminous effect while utilizing the characteristics of the shuttlecock itself.

In order to improve this, a utility model 94 filed and published by the same applicant as the above-mentioned utility model was filed and published by the same applicant.
In Japanese Patent No. -20271 (September 15, 1994), an annular coupling groove is formed at an intermediate portion of a cap-shaped striking head, and a separate light emitting ring is projected into the annular coupling groove at a predetermined height. A mated technique was devised.

According to the present technology, a separately provided light emitting ring is inserted into a striking head so that the light emitting ring emits light so that badminton can be enjoyed at night. In this case, the light emitting ring is used. There is a disadvantage in that the work of fitting the ring to the annular coupling groove is complicated, and the fitting of the terminal end of the ring is not easy, but the balance of the shuttlecock cannot be accurately maintained.

Therefore, when a game is performed, not only does the shuttlecock make a meandering flight, but also the ring fitted to the hitting head may come off due to contact or impact when hit by the racket. Therefore, there was a problem in practical use.

Another known technique is disclosed in Korean Utility Model Publication No. 98-59358 (October 26, 1998).
Day) night leisure shuttlecock,
The hitting head of the shuttlecock is made of translucent elastic synthetic rubber, and a luminescent material (sunlight) is placed in the center of the synthetic rubber.
There is a device in which a hole for attaching and detaching the light emitting device is formed, and a light emitting body is inserted into the hole.

However, in this technique, it is technically very difficult to manufacture an elastic body that emits light of a luminous body from synthetic rubber. Also, when inserting the luminous body into the hole, since the hitting head is hit at the time of hitting with the racket, the luminous body may fall out from the hitting head, and in the case of a shuttlecock, the hitting head may be Although the center of gravity of the wing portion should be maintained constant, there was a problem that the function of the shuttlecock could not be sufficiently exhibited because the shuttlecock could not be balanced depending on the degree of insertion of the light emitter.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS An embodiment of the present invention will be described below in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. The present invention is not limited to the embodiments described below. FIG. 1 is an exploded perspective view showing an exploded view of a striking head 1, a blade 2, and a support 3, which are main components of one embodiment of the present invention. Regarding the configuration of the hitting head 1 and the support 3 of the shuttlecock, the structure and characteristics thereof are described in detail in the above-described known technology.
In the following, detailed description is omitted, and only differences from the conventional technology will be described.

First, the impact head 1 can be manufactured in various shapes in the form of an elastic body. In particular, in the form in which the groove 1a is formed in the center of the hitting head 1 so as to be connected to the blade 2 as in the present invention, a conventionally used cork or another elastic material can be used.

According to the present invention, the hitting head 1 is formed of a transparent or translucent synthetic material so that the light of the illuminant coupled to the central portion can be emitted to the outside.

In addition, not in a transparent or translucent form,
It is also possible to mix the synthetic resin material itself with a luminous paint to emit light from the impact head 1.

The blade 2 connected to the striking head 1 has a cylindrical portion 2a of the blade 2 in a groove 1a formed in the striking head 1.
Are inserted and inserted.

As is well known, a separate luminous paint may be mixed into the blade portion 2 so that the blade portion 2 can emit light.

The support 3 which is a main component of the present invention is connected to the blade 2, and the connecting form is separately provided on a locking projection 2b formed on the blade 2 as shown in FIG. The connection is achieved by fitting the indicator 3 as a component.

At this time, the support 3 is also made of an elastic material such as rubber or synthetic resin, and is connected by firmly fitting the support 3 to the locking projection 2b of the blade portion 2. You cannot escape.

An illuminant 4 of an existing product that emits light is fitted into the center of the support 3. The luminous body 4 emits light for a certain period of time. When the shuttlecock is used at night, when the luminous body is impacted with a tool, it emits light for a certain period of time.

The luminous body 4 can be inserted into the support 3 separately, but it is integrated with the support 3 in the form of a consumable from the beginning, and the support 3 is switched every time it is used at night. Can also be used.

Therefore, since the support 3 with the light-emitting body 4 is always accurately and fixedly positioned on the blade 2, the weight of the impact head 1 and the blade 2 is supported. Since the support 3 connected to the wing portion 2 always accurately forms the center of gravity, the problem that the center of gravity changes even when the luminous body is connected and the shuttlecock moves irregularly is solved.

It should be noted that, since the support 3 has the light emitting body coupled with the function of reducing, even if an impact is applied to the shuttlecock 1 at the time of hitting with the racket, there is no possibility that the light emitting body 4 will fall out due to the impact.

[0027]

As described above, the shuttlecock for night leisure according to the present invention can be hit with a racket by using a light emitter inserted into a supporting member connected between the shuttlecock and the blade. This eliminates all the conventional problems such as the luminous body slipping out or changing the center of gravity due to the combination of the luminous bodies, and the effect that badminton can be enjoyed even at night can be obtained.
