Description

  The present invention relates to sports equipment that has both golf and tennis elements and is similar to the badminton competition method, and also belongs to the field of toys by being appropriately reduced.

According to the present invention, a pitching portion provided with a saucer portion on a golf wood-like head is formed so that the angle of the upper surface of the saucer portion is opened by about 15 ° with respect to the extension line of the shaft (down toward the tip). The application is based on the principle that the ball flies straight regardless of whether the vibration is strong or weak. In the present invention, the connecting portion to the shaft is a connecting portion to the pipe-shaped transfer portion.
Japanese Patent Publication No. 04-053553

  When attempting to throw with a conventional golf equipment for throwing with a golf-like swing, there is a risk of falling due to an excessive backswing or timing shift.

  Moreover, since the sport to be performed with the above-mentioned throwing exercise equipment requires a vast site, it is an exercise equipment with a competition facility, and thus it has been difficult to put it into practical use when a course is established.

  Therefore, taking advantage of the characteristics of the exercise equipment, it was decided to look for ways to make it a sport that can be performed individually at sites such as tennis and badminton, and can be easily performed if there is a corner or a safe place on the playground. .

  In the above-described conventional exercise equipment, in order to prevent a falling ball when throwing with a golf swing, by providing a falling ball prevention cover (11) that does not hinder the throwing between appropriate positions at the rear of the saucer part, Settled.

  In addition, in order to create a sport that can be easily and individually performed at a site such as tennis or badminton, a ball catching unit for catching a ball thrown by a golf swing is created. By interposing and connecting the pipe-shaped transfer part (5) between the pitching parts, the ball caught by the ball catching part (3) is immediately passed through the pipe-shaped transfer part (5) into the pitching part (7). The rally was made possible by transferring and allowing the ball to be returned by a golf swing.

  In addition, the falling ball prevention cover (11) prevents the ball from falling due to the acceleration of the ball when transferred to the pitching unit (7) through the pipe-shaped transfer unit (5). Is possible.

  The situation of the transfer of the ball at the time of catching with the exercise tool according to the present invention formed as described above will be described. When the liner-like ball is caught with the catching part whole surface vertical, the speed of the ball itself Due to the rolling property, the ball can be caught by rolling up to the ball inlet (2) from the lower part of the ball catching part (3) or from the obliquely lower part.

  In addition, by making the substantially trumpet-shaped catching portion into a non-circular shape (net-like), the effect of reducing the repulsion of the hole and preventing the slipping during rolling is obtained.

  Also, since it takes a few seconds to complete the game from catching to the completion of the pitch, it will be a very slow tempo game compared to tennis etc. It is interesting to perform three different actions of catching, transferring, and throwing continuously, and it seems to be acceptable to young people.

Best Mode for Carrying Out the Invention

  The best mode for carrying out the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS. 1 and 2. A ball introduction port 2 having a corner having a large R shape at the center of the bottom of an unshaped portion 1 made of a slightly soft synthetic resin. As a result, a substantially trumpet-shaped ball catching portion 3 is formed.

  The ball catching portion 3 is fixed to the elbow-shaped portion 4 by a screw-in type or a press-fit adhesion method, and the other end of the elbow-shaped portion is perpendicular to the ball catching portion 3. Pipe-shaped transfer units 5 are connected in the same manner as described above.

  Further, at the other end of the pipe-shaped transfer part 5, a pitching part 7 provided with a receiving part 6 of an appropriate depth on a substantially hemispherical head-like part having an elliptical upper surface is provided with a screwing part 8 and a fixed part. Although it is continuously attached by the nut 9, the ball catching section 3 and the pitching section 7 are set so as to face in the same direction.

  The pitching portion 7 is formed so that the angle 10 on the upper surface of the saucer portion 6 opens about 15 ° (lowers toward the front) with respect to the parallel extension line of the pipe-shaped transfer portion 5.

  Reference numeral 11 denotes a falling ball prevention cover for preventing the ball from falling when the ball is transferred from the catching unit 3 to the throwing unit 7, and the falling ball prevention cover 11 does not interfere with throwing between appropriate positions at the rear of the tray 6. However, as an example of how to attach it, a concave groove 12 is provided between appropriate locations on the outer periphery of the upper end thick portion of the saucer portion 6, and a bent portion 13 provided at the lower end of the falling ball prevention cover is provided in the concave groove 12. It is glued.

  At the time of pitching, the sensing groove 14 provided at a shallow position near the ball catching part on the upper surface of the pipe-shaped transfer part is used when throwing with a golf-like swing with a golf-like grip that overlaps the thumb at the time of pitching. The determination of the finger position by visual inspection is inaccurate and takes time, so that the finger position is immediately detected.

  In addition, since this sport is performed with a tennis-like grip at the time of catching, and with a golf-like grip and swing at the time of throwing, the left and right shakes of the ball muscle at the time of throwing are adjusted by loosening the fixing nuts 9 individually. It can be done.

  FIG. 3 is a front view as seen from the direction of the throwing part 7. The saucer part 6 has a substantially boat shape so that a better result can be obtained for the ball muscles. 11 and the position of the concave groove 12 and the shape of the saucer portion 6 need to be reversed left and right.

  In addition, since the sport according to the present invention is thrown by a golf-like swing, the exit hole in the saucer portion 6 is formed by approaching a considerable tip from the center of the bottom portion of the saucer portion 6 having an appropriate depth. Although it seems that it does not become a hindrance, when providing a check valve just in case, the core rod 17 inserted through the seesaw-like portion comprising the valve portion 15 and the weight portion 16 as shown in FIG. It penetrates and is fixed at a lower proper position in front of the outlet hole 18.

  By doing so, when the ball passes over the weight portion 16 and reaches the valve portion 15, the weight of the ball indicates a state indicated by a two-dot chain line, and when the ball falls into the tray portion 6, the valve portion 15 The ball jumps back to its original position and prevents the ball from going backwards.

  It should be noted that the ball used in this sport needs to be slightly smaller in structure, and a soft golf ball is considered appropriate, but even if the surface is small such as white, red, yellow, etc. It is necessary to make it easier.

  Although the present invention can be implemented as described above, it is necessary to practice not to drop the ball at the time of catching, transferring, or throwing, and to practice throwing the ball at the place where it was expected. When catching a ball, it is necessary to change the entire catching area like a baseball glove, almost to the front for liner and upward for fly, according to the ball fall angle. It seems that it is necessary to drop the ball to the falling ball prevention cover side with an appropriate inclination and to throw the ball with good timing using centrifugal force without taking too much back swing.

  The outline and rules of the competition performed by the exercise equipment according to the present invention having the form as described above will be explained. As shown in FIG. 5, the court is about the middle size between tennis and badminton, and the height of the net is It has a relatively high eye of around 2m, and it is performed by singles or doubles in a no-bound system.

  The front service line 19 is located at a position 2 m from the net, and the left half of the net is the left service court 20 and the right service court 21.

  The service for starting play is after the end line 22 and from the left side or right side of the center line 23 after hand-in (the ball is put into the throwing part by hand) and then the golf swing to the right side. From the left side to the right service court 21 and from the left side to the right side left service court 20, in other words, the service court is diagonally forward, but at this time, it enters the service court. If not, or if hitting the net, it will be a fault, and one double point will be given for a double fault.

  The opponent will wait for the service in the service court where the opponent is going to throw, but from the second pitch after that, the entire court will be in the in-play zone, during play, throwing, catching, transferring If a ball is dropped at any point in time, one goal will be lost, and the ball that was thrown will return to play from the service, but the ball that was thrown at transfer will continue to play as it is hand-in.

  When picking up a ball that has fallen, the rear foot (right foot) is not moved, but the left foot is moved and picked up, but if it still fails to reach or rolls off the line, the throwing unit 7 The ball catching part 3 is placed on the outer side of the right foot to serve as a marker. In this case, in the case of left-handed, the rear foot (left foot) is the axis.

  In addition, after the catching operation is completed, if it moves unnecessarily until the pitching is completed, a foot fault will occur, and one goal will be lost for two times in total. In such a case, the player must return to the nearest point in the line at the passing point of the line before throwing (no penalty).

  The above has been described as an example of a competition performed with the exercise equipment according to the present invention, but there are many counting methods and other inadequacies, and these points need to be supplemented and changed with reference to conventional sports practices etc. There is.

  As another embodiment, if a safe place can be secured, it is possible to enjoy the rally as a catch ball as well as practice.

  It is also possible to play with a sense like badminton or feathers by reducing the size appropriately for toys.

  It is a 1 part section side view showing the exercise device by the present invention.   It is the top view which showed the exercise device by this invention.   It is the front view which showed the state seen from the pitching part 7 direction.   It is the side view which showed an example of the check valve.   It is the top view which showed an example of the court of the competition performed with the exercise equipment by this invention.
