Description

The present invention relates to a ball enclosure that surrounds the ground and the floor and holds the ball in the enclosed range so that the ball used in practice or the like does not diffuse.

In soccer practice, 10 to 20 or more balls are required, but since they are placed directly on the ground (court), they are easy to roll and diffuse. In order to increase the effectiveness of the practice, it is necessary to prevent the ball from spreading, and conventionally, nets and baskets were used.
Such a net or urn is not an instrument for preventing the diffusion of the ball, such as moving the storage device for storing the ball to the practice place, and in particular, encloses the ball within a certain range of the ground and floor. It is not devised to hold a foldable ball enclosure.

As a folding ball holding tool, for example, Patent Document 1 discloses a bowl-shaped tool.

JP 2002-119619 A

  Even if the conventional bowl-shaped storage device such as Patent Document 1 is compact and foldable, it is difficult to move during practice because it is large and heavy. Furthermore, it is inconvenient to put in and out of the ball, so it is inconvenient to hold the ball in the desired place while changing the position as necessary so that the ball does not spread according to the situation during practice or game. there were.

  In addition, in competitions that are performed outdoors, especially in competitions that are practiced or played in rainy weather, such as soccer, it may be inappropriate to use a basket-like device that also serves as a storage device due to rain, wind, and ground conditions. It was.

Accordingly, the present invention aims to provide a foldable ball enclosure that is light, small, easy to carry, and easy to carry in and out of the ball, and that is not affected by natural conditions outdoors. It was.

  In order to achieve the above object, the folding ball enclosure of the present invention is configured as follows.

1. By surrounding the ground or the floor with an enclosing member that is high enough to stop the ball and can be easily put out by a person, the ball is held in the enclosed area.
The enclosure member is configured by combining a plurality of plate-like plates, and is configured to be foldable and accommodated in a state where the plates are stacked.
At the time of use, the ball is held in a certain range of the ground or the floor by arranging in an annular shape so as to surround the ground or the floor on which the ball is to be held.

By configuring in this way, the ball is held by surrounding a certain range of the ground or floor, so that it can be configured more compactly than a bowl-shaped one. Further, since the enclosing member has a height that allows a person to easily take out the ball, the ball can be taken in and out smoothly.
Furthermore, since the enclosure member is configured by connecting a plurality of plate-like plates, it can be folded and stored in a state where each plate is overlapped, and even if stored in a warehouse separately from the ball storage device, it hardly disturbs. .
It should be noted that to put out the ball includes not only the case where the ball is taken using the hand but also the case where the ball is kicked out using the foot in a competition where the use of the foot is the center, such as soccer.

2. It is configured to surround the ground or floor in a circular shape.
Furthermore, the lower part (bottom side) of the plate is configured so as to incline the entire plate inward, for example, by forming an arc-like curve.

By encircling in this way, the range for holding the ball can be maximized with respect to the total length of the ball enclosure. That is, since the total length of the enclosure plate for holding a certain number of balls is minimized, the most compact configuration can be achieved.
In soccer practice, the ball can be taken out smoothly by enclosing it in an annular shape, improving the efficiency of the practice.
Furthermore, the ball can be reliably held by inclining the whole plate inward.

3. Each plate is connected and pivotally connected with a grommet to form an enclosure member.
In addition, the last plate connected in a band shape is provided with a portion that is not provided in an inverted U shape that matches the diameter of the eyelet fitting so that the eyelet fitting of the first plate can be clamped.

  With this configuration, the eyelet fitting of the first plate can be locked to the missing portion of the last plate when in use. Moreover, at the time of storing, it can be removed and folded. Therefore, the enclosure can be easily assembled and disassembled.

4). A stopper member is added to fix the shape of the annularly arranged plate during use.

By comprising in this way, the cyclic | annular enclosure shape can be reliably hold | maintained at the time of use.

Since the ball is held by surrounding the ground or the floor, it can be configured to be very compact as compared with the bowl-shaped one. Further, since the enclosing member has a height that allows a person to easily take out the ball, the ball can be taken in and out smoothly.
In particular, in soccer, field players use their feet to handle the ball, but the ball can be removed when needed by simply kicking the ball lightly.
For this reason, the efficiency of practice can be greatly improved.

Even if it is stored in the warehouse separately from the ball storage device, it will not get in the way. Moreover, the burden of preparing a plurality is small, and a plurality can be easily installed in a practice form.
Furthermore, since the ball can be reliably held by inclining the entire surrounding plate in a circular shape, unexpected diffusion of the ball can be prevented.
In addition, it is easy to assemble and dismantle by securing the eyelet bracket to the missing part during use and removing it during storage, so that installation or movement does not take time and does not interfere with practice.

With the addition of the stopper member, the annular surrounding shape can be securely held, so that there is no fear of losing the shape even if there is some impact such as a ball hit.

It is the top view and perspective view of a ball enclosure of Example 1. It is a top view of the plate which comprises a surrounding member. It is the top view and perspective view of a ball enclosure of Example 2.

DESCRIPTION OF SYMBOLS 1 Ball enclosure 2 Ball enclosure 11 Enclosure member 101 Plate 102 Plate provided with reverse U-shaped notch 201 Eyelet fitting 202 Stopper member H Plate hole for connecting and pivoting with eyelet fitting U For securing the eyelet fitting Reverse U-shaped missing C circle arc

Embodiments of the folding ball enclosure according to the present invention will be described below.

FIG. 1 shows a foldable ball enclosure 1 according to the first embodiment.
The foldable ball enclosure 1 comprises an enclosure member 11 formed by connecting and pivoting six plates in a band shape with eyelet fittings. The foldable ball enclosure 1 can be constituted by only the enclosure member 11, but if necessary, accessories such as hooks are added to the enclosure member 11.
When folded and stored, as shown in FIG. 1 (a), the plate is inverted with the eyelet fitting as an axis, and the enclosing member 11 is folded so that the plates overlap each other.
In FIG. 1 (a), the plates are slightly shifted for the sake of clarity, but they can be completely stacked when stored.

  When using, as shown in FIG. 1 (b), the eyelet 201 of the outermost plate 101 is fastened to the inverted U-shaped notched portion of the plate 102, and the ground or floor is enclosed in a circular shape. For example, hold a soccer ball.

The height of the enclosure, i.e., the width of the plate, is set to a height that is sufficient to stop the ball and allows a person to easily throw the ball.
For example, in the case of a soccer ball, 5 to 15 cm, preferably about 7 to 10 cm is suitable. Such a height is sufficient to stop the ball and can be easily kicked out with a foot. Also, the storage space can be reduced.
A tennis ball of about 5 centimeters is sufficient, but if it is too low, the plate becomes thin and difficult to handle. Since tennis handles the ball with a racket (advanced players pick up the ball with a racket), there is no problem even if the height of the enclosure is slightly higher than the ball.
In this way, the height of the enclosure is appropriately determined in consideration of the size and usability of the ball for each game.

FIG. 2 shows the plate used in the above example.
As shown in FIG. 2A, the plate 101 is used except for the last plate connected in a strip shape.
The plate 101 is provided with two plate holes H at both ends of the plate for connecting and pivoting with eyelet fittings.
The lower part (bottom side) of the plate 101, that is, the part in contact with the ground or the floor is formed into an arc C having an appropriate curvature. By doing so, the plate is slightly inclined inward when enclosed in an annular shape, so that the ball can be reliably held.
Note that the inclination can be varied by changing the curvature of the arc (the inclination increases as the curvature increases).

Except for the last plate connected, the plate 102 is used as shown in FIG.
The plate 102 is provided with a plate hole H for connecting and pivoting with eyelet fittings and an inverted U-shaped notch U for fastening the eyelet fittings at both ends of the plate.
The lower part (bottom side) of the plate 102 is also an arc C having an appropriate curvature, similar to the plate 101.

The plate is preferably a polypropylene sheet from the viewpoint of shape.

FIG. 3 shows a foldable ball enclosure 2 according to the second embodiment.
This foldable ball enclosure 2 is configured by adding a stopper member 202 to the above-described enclosing member 11 in order to securely hold an annular enclosing shape during use.

  The stopper member 202 can be easily formed by, for example, winding a plate-shaped member around a plate and bonding and fixing both ends.

  The width of the stopper member 202 is formed with a slight margin from the plate width so that it can slide to the left and right.

  When folded and stored, as shown in FIG. 3A, the stopper members 202 are arranged so as to be shifted from the coupling portion of the plates toward the center of the plate.

  As described above, when the lower part of the plate is curved in an arc shape, the stopper member 202 is slid at a position closer to the center where the plate swells by making the width of the stopper member 202 smaller than the widest part of the plate. Can be stopped.

When used, as shown in FIG. 3 (b), the stopper member 202 is disposed at the coupling portion of each plate. In this way, there is no worry of breaking the shape with a little impact.

The present invention is not limited to the above embodiment.
In the above-mentioned embodiment, it is enclosed in a circular shape, but it may be enclosed in any shape. For example, the shape may be a regular polygon or a rectangle.
Moreover, in the said Example, although the plate was couple | bonded with the eyelet metal fitting, another method may be used if it is a method which can couple | bond a plate. For example, a hinge can be used. In this case, if the length of each plate is the same, the enclosing shape is a regular polygon.
The lower portions of the plates 101 and 102 may be straight when installed without being inclined. Moreover, you may form in a wave shape in order to make the part which touches the ground small.
In the case of enclosing a circular shape as in the embodiment, the plate material is preferably a flexible and lightweight material such as polypropylene, but is not limited thereto.
