Description

[Detailed description of the invention] The present invention relates to a new type of ball game.

As a representative leisure sport, golf is excellent overall in terms of its scale, entertainment value, and health benefits, and the reason it has rapidly gained popularity among Japanese people in recent years and continues to maintain its popularity is because of its This is probably because the complexity and variety of play, which is part of the entertainment value, does not leave players feeling bored.

Polling, which once became popular as a leisure sport, is thought to have lost its popularity rapidly as the competition lacked complexity and variety compared to golf, leaving players feeling bored. .

Also, I can't fault the fact that Pauling doesn't have the fun of unexpected blocks and troubles that occur in nature like golf.

However, although it has become widely popular and established among the masses,
Golf still requires a considerable amount of time and money to enjoy, and the reality is that it is still a leisure sport for only a limited number of people. The day when you can enjoy it easily is still a long way off, and because it requires a vast amount of land, it is becoming more and more limited in terms of location.

Therefore, anyone can easily and inexpensively (popularity), enjoy leisurely in nature (healthy), the content is varied and interesting (entertainment), and fashionable (fashionable). The present invention was invented as a product.

In the present invention, the balls are hit and hit the poles placed on the course, and the sound emitted when hitting the balls is
It is a comfortable sound unlike any other leisure sport to date, and it greatly helps modern people relieve stress.

Embodiments of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings.

The ball 1 is disk-shaped, and its sliding surface 2 is made smooth and easy to slide because it affects the running of the ball.

The side surface 3 has a vertically curved surface, and when it collides with the head 5 of the hitting tool 4, it makes point contact, the thrusting action is concentrated at the center of gravity of the ball, and it rebounds in a stable state.

The part continuing from the side part 3 to the sliding surface 2 or surface part 6 is chamfered 7 to improve the feel and prevent bears from getting caught on the surface of the course 8.

Since the surface portion 6 is the most visible, it is useful to create an image of the ball by applying appropriate colors, markings of manufacturers, trademarks, and various other designs.

In the figure, there is a knob 9 in the center of the surface, which can be used to pick up balls or move balls, and also serves as a guide for determining the direction in which balls are running.

The above balls do not crack or dent during a collision, emit a pleasant sound when a collision occurs, have a smooth surface, and are easy to slide on.
For long-term use, it is preferable to use materials that do not wear out, have a balanced and appropriate weight, and do not change over time such as warping or bending, and are usually made of wood such as sakshi or plastic such as ABS resin. , cut or molded so that there are no cavities or cracks inside.

As shown in FIG. 3, it is preferable to use a slippery and wear-resistant slipping material 10 such as polyacecool resin on the sliding surface 2, and to embed a weight 11 such as metal below the center part.

In this case, if the sliding material becomes worn out, it is economical to extend the life of the ball by replacing it, and lowering the center of gravity will further increase stability, and as will be explained later, the protrusion effect exerted by the hitting tool The ball extends toward the center where the weight is located, and the ball slides straight on the course, making it difficult to roll over.

The size of this ball is determined appropriately depending on the usage conditions such as the size of the course, but after various experiments, we found that, for example, the diameter is 90 to 96 mm and the height is 22 to 24 mrIL.
One with a height of 15 to 20 mrn was good.

At first glance, the hitting tool 4 looks similar to Gononov's wood club, with the head 5 and grip 12 connected by a shaft 13, but because its purpose is different, it is structurally quite different from a golf club. many.

The head 5 is usually made of the same material as the above-mentioned ball, has no internal air bubbles or cracks, and has a smooth surface 14.
Since it comes into contact with the course surface, it is smooth and slippery, and like the ball, a wear-resistant and slippery sliding material 15 is sometimes fixed in a replaceable manner (Fig. 6).

The front and rear end toe 16 and heel 17 of the sliding surface 14 are chamfered to prevent them from getting caught on the course surface when the hitting tool is pushed back and forth, so that it operates smoothly.

The hitting surface 18 is functionally important and is made smooth without warping, deformation, unevenness, etc. in order to drive the ball accurately in the aimed direction.

If the striking surface is made vertical or tilted so that the upper part protrudes slightly forward, it may be possible to further prevent the ball from jumping up when struck.

It may also be advantageous to fit and secure a block 19 made of a strong material into the striking surface.

Although the upper surface 20 and side surface 21 of the head are not directly important functionally, they can also be called the face of the hitting tool.
Various designs are usually applied.

(Figure 5).

The shaft 13 is made of a tough and durable material such as a metal pipe, and its tip is inserted above the center of the smooth surface 14 of the head 5, and as shown in FIG. The tip is cut to face the direction.

It is a good idea to drive a pin or the like between the two to prevent it from coming out.

A neck collar 22 is fitted into the joint between the head 5 and the shaft 13 to protect the neck.

The role of this collar is important because the neck of a golf club is subject to excessive force, and although the neck collar and shaft collar are separated, the neck collar alone is sufficient.

A grip 12 is fixed to the other end of the shaft with a stopper 23.

The grip is one-handed, so it's much shorter and thicker than a golf club grip.

Since it needs to be hard to slip when gripped by hand, it is made of rubber or plastic such as polyvinyl chloride by a molding method, and irregularities such as warts are provided as appropriate to prevent slipping.

This hitting tool has angles θ (see Figure 4) of 20 degrees, 25 degrees, and 3.
0 degrees, total length 120cm, 115crn.

If you prepare various types of 110crI'L1105crfL1100crrL, you can choose the appropriate one according to your physique.

Course 8, where Tama skis, has various things set up and painted on it.

The ones shown include 15 poles 24 with which the ball collides, 30 obstacles 25, and a bridge 26 over a river or the like (Figures 1 and 11).

The outer shape of Course 8 is irregular and has an appropriate shape, and it is like a road built on the ground surface, and since people walk on the course and the balls slide, the surface is paved with concrete or asphalt, and the surface is paved with concrete or asphalt. It is coated with weather-resistant resin or covered with special tiles to make it smooth so that the ball can glide smoothly, and its outer periphery and corners around obstacles are chamfered.

On the pole 24 on the course, a stand 27 that directly collides with the ball is fitted into the course, and a plate 28 is attached thereon.

This stand is usually made of metal so that it can withstand the impact of the balls and makes a pleasant sound when the balls hit.

Also, through an electric circuit, it can be made to ring a bell, music box, chime, etc., or to light up an electric light when Tama appears.

By preparing a preliminary hole on the course into which the stand 27 can fit and covering it with a lid, it is possible to vary the play by changing the position of the pole from time to time.

If you place a weight inside the stand to make this pole heavy so that it won't move even if the ball hits it, you can just leave it on the course.

In the figure, the stand portion has a cylindrical shape with a diameter of about 20 crfL, but it can also have a prismatic shape or the like.

Obstacles 25 installed in the course are formed in an appropriate shape to be concave or convex from the course surface, but in the example shown, a circular hole with a diameter of about 1 to 3 m is made in the course. They put soil inside and plant grass and plants (Part 1)
Figure 1).

This restricts the direction in which the ball moves and makes the competition even more interesting.

The illustrated bridge 26 is installed in a hollow, a stream, etc. outside the course, and this part has a width of about 1 to 3 meters at the narrowest part of the course.

In the course shown, the angles A and B formed by the lines connecting poles 29, 30, 31 and 32, as partially shown in Figure 8, are 7.
At least 5 degrees, and the distance between each pole is about 10 to 30 meters.
The straight line distance from the start zone 33 through each pole to the final pole is approximately 280 to 350 meters.

In addition, the shortest distances between the pole and the edge of the obstacle, the pole and the outer edge of the course, and the edge of the obstacle and the outer edge of the course are set to be 1 m or more.

A corner line 33 is clearly drawn with baking paint or the like at a constant width around the outer edge of the course and around obstacles, approximately 30 to 50 crnrfy in the diagram, so that the outer circumference of the course and the position and condition of obstacles can be seen from a distance. A circular pole round 34 is similarly drawn around the pole stand, which is shown as an area that is easy to see and technically difficult to shoot.

A transparent coating may be applied to protect the paint.

Area 35 outside the course plays an important role in enhancing the course and creating a playing environment, so it can be designed by planting trees, lawns, creating ponds and streams, and placing stones and various ornaments. do.

In this case, it is a good idea to clearly indicate the name of the course and the overall length of the poles within the course on the signboard so that players can clearly read it.

Items installed outside the course should be kept at least 1 meter away from the perimeter of the course so that they do not interfere with play.

When playing in a competition, before starting the competition, each player should check the hitting equipment that they are comfortable with, check the color etc. of balls, check the balls of other players, and avoid hitting other players' balls during play. Make sure you don't do anything like that.

It is also a good idea to have a spare in case your ball gets damaged or lost during the competition.

Set the ball at the starting zone 33 or starting line, which is clearly drawn in a circle with a diameter of about 2 to 2.5 meters on the course, and before taking a shot, first decide which direction the ball will run in. Determine how far Tama will run the shot, stand behind Tama, and position your feet so that the hitting tool is aligned with the direction of Tama (Figure 9 A).

Slowly bend your hips, keep your eyes on the ball, slide the ball across the course, and strike the ball straight 2-3 times (see the figure below). Once you have your breathing in sync, push the tool straight forward with all your might. When you hit the ball (C in the same figure), twist your body enough while keeping your feet in the same position, and bring the hitting tool forward with your arms straight, the launching action will be concentrated from the side of the ball in the direction of its center of gravity. and proceed straight on the course (Figure 2).

Also, if you shift the ball from the center line and hit it on the side, it will curve to the left or right and move forward.

What is important in this case is that the smooth surface of the hitting tool remains in contact with the course surface until it hits the ball.

In this way, avoid obstacles and move the ball forward.

When Tama is at the position where you can see the pole the most, aim and hit the pole with the next shot.

In this way, when all the players (usually 2 to 4 players) hit the pole one after another, the pole ends and each player writes their score on their scorecard.

In this case, the ball bounces off the pole and remains stationary.

The next start will be from this position, and the process will continue in the same way after the second pole.

The most difficult part of hitting a ball is when it hits the pole, and it is the most interesting part of the game.

In other words, in Figure 10, when a ball is hit from point C to pole D, if the ball that hits the pole travels in the direction of E and comes to rest at point E, then when the next ball is aimed at pole F, there will be an obstacle. G becomes an obstacle to hitting the ball.

When the ball that hits pole D runs in the H direction and comes to rest at point H, it is possible to aim directly at the next pole F.

Also, if the ball hit from point C runs in the ■ direction without hitting pole D, the bear will fall into obstacle G.

In this way, by appropriately arranging the positions of the poles and obstacles, and by changing the direction in which the ball that hits the pole rebounds, the content of the competition becomes more complex and interesting.

If the ball is close to the pole, you won't be able to fully extend the ball, so make a shot by pulling the ball back as soon as you hit the ball.

Also, when you have to pass through a narrow place, you must make a shot that accurately determines the direction of the ball.

When there is an obstacle behind the ball, you cannot shoot in the normal position.

It is prohibited to put your feet or hands on anything other than the course when making a shot, so in such a case, you should stand close to the corner of the course, pull your hands back far enough, and take a small shot.

As a general rule, players are not allowed to touch the ball with their hands or feet during play.

However, in the following cases, the ball position will be moved according to the rules.

If your ball touches and moves another player's ball during the competition, the other player's ball will be returned to its original position and the player will be assessed a penalty of 1.

When the ball stops inside the pole round, it must be moved to a place where it touches the outer periphery of the pole round on the opposite side of the pole.

In this case, there will be no penalty. If a bear stops on a corner line, it will be moved so that it makes contact with the inside of the corner line closest to the stopping point, but there will be no penalty.

If the ball flies off the course or falls into an obstacle, move it from the shot position to the corner line where the ball passed.

In this case, it will be outbound and a penalty of 2 will be awarded.

If the ball overturns on the course, it may be returned to its normal state at the position where it stopped in the overturned state, but in this case, there will be a penalty of 1.

However, even if the player rolls over once, if it returns to normal before the player stops, play can continue and there will be no penalty.

If you want to move the ball on the course, such as when it is difficult to make a shot on the course, you can move the ball by the entire length of the hitting tool.

In this case, add a penalty of -1.

Also, if a ball that falls outside the course or into an obstacle does not stop and bounces back onto the course and stops, it will be invalidated and will be treated as out-of-bounds.

If the ball is damaged and becomes unusable during play, or if the powder is lost, the shot is invalid and the shot must be restarted from the original position.

In this case, the penalty is -1.

If the rider does not stop on the course after hitting the final pole and falls off the course, it will still be considered out of bounds and a penalty will be added to the score.

If a ball is damaged or destroyed by hitting another player's ball, the player who hit the ball will be penalized.

One round ends when everyone finishes in the west position one after another at the final pole, and the total score is tallied based on the number of strokes and penalties, and the one with the fewest strokes has an advantage.

The balls that hit each pole may be reset to a preset starting position to proceed with the game.

In addition, the above-mentioned ball can be spherical, and the course surface may be modified such as having loose waves.
