Description

Curling game set {

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a curling game set, and more particularly, to a game set in which a curling game that could only be performed on an ice sheet can be enjoyed in a very similar manner indoors and outdoors. More specifically, the present invention is characterized in that a curling ball is inserted in a room, and a curved surface of a game mat on which a curling ball moves moves in a longitudinal direction in which a ball moves, and a central region is lowered and an arc- And at the same time using the broom to control the friction force of the curling ball moving inertially by sweeping the fiber yarn of the pile fabric on the surface of the game mat by laying down or by adjusting the grain direction of the fiber yarn You can play games indoors in the same way as a real curling game.

Curling is a game played on the ice, and after pitching a curling ball made of flat stone, the surface of the ice sheet is swept by a solver sweeper called Broom in order to induce the progression, thereby reducing the surface frictional force It is a game in which a curling ball slides at an intended speed in an intended direction of the player, and the ball is pushed out and the ball is put on the target to compete for the goal. The athlete slides a curling ball at a position relatively close to the center line dividing the seat into half, and the ice sheet is sprayed with fine droplets on the ice sheet regularly in order to reduce the friction between the ice and the curling ball. On the other hand, the pitcher is the most important feature in that two sweepers sweep the ice path through which the curling ball passes by using a broom-shaped brush called "broom" to adjust the course and speed so as to stop as close as possible to the target point can do.

The curling competition consists of four teams in each team. In the 42.1m long and 4.3m wide, pitch the team in a concentric circle called house, and score the score to see which side is closer to the target. A curling ball is a stone with a weight of 20 kg or less, a circumference of 91.4 cm or less, a height of 11.4 cm, and 16 times as one end, and a 10-end or 12-end game as one game. Each team pits 8 balls per end and scores I hate the game according to some.

In Korea, curling was a very unfamiliar sport, but the popularity of Korean women's team in the 2018 PyeongChang Winter Olympic Games was gaining in popularity. This has led to a growing public interest in curling, There is a stadium or an ice rink where you can enjoy it, and you can not enjoy it publicly.

As shown in FIG. 7, a Korean Registered Utility Model No. 20-0436642 discloses a donut-shaped air tube which is filled with air. The donut-shaped air tube is installed on the inner circumference of the air tube to float the air tube from the bottom surface, An air stone constituted by lifting means provided with a throwing handle; A pushing means composed of a hand pump to pressurize the outer surface of the air stone to provide propulsive force to the air stone; And a score plate on which an air stone propelled by the pushing means is seated. The air curling unit has been developed to be able to enjoy a curling game in a flat place regardless of a specific place.

However, the above registration technique can not control the bottom friction force of the curling ball, which is the greatest feature of curling, and can not enjoy the game properly. In other words, although the air stone continues to move to the destination with buoyancy and inertia in a pitched state, the air stone under friction acts only as a limiting factor in the movement process, and it is difficult to induce the movement route, There is a large problem that it is difficult to stop the frictional force control. In order to compensate for this problem, there is a pumping pump using a hand pump. However, it is not easy for the elderly people to pumping along a fast curling ball in a limited room. To control the moving air stone, Frequent fair game progress was difficult.

To solve this problem, it is required to develop a new technique that combines a helmet and sweeping in which the curling can be enjoyed indoors without using the broom, and the curling ball is slid with the broom in the intended direction and speed.

Korean Utility Model Registration No. 20-0436642

Accordingly, the present invention has been made to solve the above problems, and it is an object of the present invention to provide a method of enjoying a curling game easily without sweeping the sweeper's broom. The present invention also provides a proper curling game set capable of controlling the ball movement by sweeping the surface of the game mat on which the curling ball moves, using the broom even when the sweeper uses the broom.

The problems to be solved by the present invention are not limited to those mentioned above, and other solutions not mentioned can be clearly understood by those skilled in the art from the following description.

In order to solve the above problems, the present curling game set is a curling game set comprising a curling ball and a game mat. The game mat includes a supporting plate placed on a floor surface, and a pile fabric formed on the upper surface of the supporting plate .

The curling game set may further include a broom for sweeping, wherein the curling ball includes: a curling hole case having an air inlet located at the center of the upper surface and a plurality of air discharging holes formed in parallel along an outer circumferential surface of the lower surface; And an annular elastic member surrounding the outer circumferential surface of the curling hole case, the curling hole protruding from the upper end of the curling hole case, the curling handle, the air bladder being located inside the curling hole case and generating buoyancy, .

Further, an outer guide film coated with graphene is formed on a lower surface of the curling hole case on the outer side of the air outlet.

In addition, the game mat may have a circular arc-shaped inclined structure in which the central region is lower in the longitudinal direction in which the curling ball moves, and the height is increased toward both ends of the left and right sides, and the game mat is formed to be assembled so that a plurality of support plates can be detached.

In the present invention, a game mat is installed on a floor surface on which a curling ball moves, and a pile fabric is formed on the surface of the curling pile, whereby the sweeper changes the fiber sieve through a sweeping action, Can be effectively controlled. Through this, the curling ball can be guided accurately to the destination through sweeping of the player, so that the player can enjoy the game with the same feeling as the actual game.

The battery of the curling ball of the present invention can be played out without a battery by playing with a solar rechargeable battery, and the game can be played by adjusting the buoyancy by radio by connecting a radio controller transmission to the internal motor.

The annular elastic member is provided on the outer circumferential surface of the curling ball case of the present invention, so that it is possible to support the curling ball to move due to elasticity in collision.

In the following description, a detailed description of known functions and configurations incorporated herein will be omitted when it may make the subject matter of the present invention rather unclear. In addition, the terms described below are defined in consideration of the functions of the present invention, and these may vary depending on the intention of the user, the operator, or the precedent. Therefore, the definition should be based on the contents throughout this specification.

Fig. 1 is an overall configuration of a curling game set according to the present invention, Fig. 2 is a perspective view of a curling ball used in the set of the present invention, and Fig. 3 is a curling air sectional view in the present invention. FIG. 5 is a longitudinal sectional view of the game mat of the present invention, FIG. 6 is a view showing a pile fabric structure formed on the game mat surface of the present invention, and FIG. Lying or standing up.

1 to 6, a curling game set according to the present invention is a curling game set comprising a curling ball and a game mat, wherein the game mat includes: a support plate placed on a floor surface; And a fabric.

The curling hole 100 may protrude from the upper end of the curling hole and may have a handle formed in a curved shape at a predetermined height. The game mat may be a basic shape of a game mat 200 on which a curling ball moves.

The mat further comprises a broom (300) for swaging the pile pile yarn of the pile fabric and laying or erecting the pile yarn, wherein the mat comprises a backing plate resting on the bottom surface and a pile fabric formed on the top surface thereof Game set can be exemplified. That is, when the athlete punches the curling ball 100 over the pile fabric formed on the upper surface of the game mat 200, the sweeper uses the pile 300 to lay down or raise the pile of pile fabric, The ball 100 can be controlled to move the center of gravity of the score plate 220 in the intended direction and speed.

A pile fabric which is the subject of sweeping is a fabric that is densely packed with fiber yarns in the form of an upright file on the surface of the fiber. The most widely known type of fabric is a velvet fabric. In other words, the velvet fabric is a fabric in which soft fiber hairs (fiber yarns) are densely planted on the surface of the fabric, and the fiber yarn is laid down or raised in a direction in which pressure is applied from the outside, Have been treated as one of the high-grade fabrics.

Referring to FIG. 6, when the fiber fabric is laid down by sweeping, the pile fabric reduces the frictional force of the lower surface of the curling ball moving due to the inertia, and the sectional area in which the discharge air forming the floating force from the lower portion of the curling hole comes in contact with the fabric So that the frictional force is greatly reduced. This makes it possible to simply control the inertia and direction of the curling ball.

The pile fabrics are made by known weaving, knitting or tufting methods. However, the method of the present invention is not particularly limited, and the pile fabrics used in the present invention may be in the form of a cut pile, File (loop pile) format is preferable. This is because the sweeper uses the broom to sweep the upright fibers so that the top of the cut file is cut off and can be controlled much more effectively.

The curling hole 100 of the present invention sucks air from a narrow air inlet port located at the center of the upper surface of the curling hole and discharges air through a plurality of air outlet ports formed in parallel along the outer surface of the lower surface of the curling hole 100, do. Since the curling ball is lifted by buoyancy from the surface of the game mat 200, the floating curling ball slips and advances due to inertia when the athlete throws the curling ball 100. At this time, if there is no resistance of the mat surface on which the curling ball touches, the curling ball continues to advance and can not stop at a desired place. Therefore, the present invention improves this, and thus the pile- . In this way, a game mat is provided on the floor where the curling ball moves, and a pile fabric is formed on the surface of the pile, so that the sweeper can sweep the pile fabric or sweep the pile fabric to change the fiber sieve to effectively control the movement of the curling pillar. This allows you to enjoy the game with the same feel as the actual game.

The curling hole 100 includes an outer curling hole case 101, an air blading hole 120 formed in the curling hole case for generating buoyancy in the curling hole case, and an outer peripheral surface of the curling hole case, And an annular elastic member 130 for imparting elasticity while relaxing the impact.

The curling ball case 101 may be made of a lightweight material such as plastic, which is easy to handle in accordance with the indoor game and easily slidable with respect to the air lifting force. However, the curling ball case 101 is not limited to such a structure and may be constituted by a steel plate such as a thin aluminum metal plate, It may be made of heavy material. In other words, considering the lifting force and elasticity, the case material, weight, and motor output can be adjusted appropriately.

A knob 113 is formed on the upper surface 109 of the curling hole case 101 so as to protrude and curved upward in the same manner as a conventional curling stone knob and is provided at the center of the upper surface 109 The air inlet 111 may be formed to be narrow in the downward direction so that air can be supplied. Accordingly, the curling ball case 101 generates a floating force while discharging air to a plurality of air discharging holes 107 formed at regular intervals along the outer circumferential surface of the curling ball case 101, and the curling ball is moved by the inertial force and the air lifting force during throwing. In other words, the upper surface of the casing is narrow and the suction air flow is accelerated, and the buoyant force is generated evenly by discharging the air to the plurality of outlets of the lower face in a balanced manner. .

The curling hole case 101 is provided with a motor 121 and an air blowing fan 120 for blowing outside air through the air inlet port 111 and discharging air to the lower side through the air outlet port 107. [ The battery 123 can be further installed and supported. In addition, a solar heat collecting plate may be formed on the outer surface of the curling ball and connected to the rechargeable battery 123 to store electric power, so that the game can be performed without a battery.

In addition, culling is a game in which a total of eight curling balls are played over a long period of time over 10 ends, and power supply for providing lifting force of the curling ball may be a problem. In order to solve this problem, it is preferable that a rechargeable battery is mounted inside a curling ball case, and a quick charging part is added to a part of a game mat in correspondence thereto. Considering that 16 curling stones are used, Is more preferable. In this way, the curling ball used in the game can be charged quickly. In addition, it is more preferable that the quick charging part is buried in the game mat in which the curling ball is moving in the upper part so that charging is performed simultaneously during the game.

In addition, the motor connected to the air bladder 120 can control buoyancy and power by a wireless controller in combination with a control transmission through wireless communication. This allows you to play a game with a new style of rules, or you can reduce buoyancy from the curling ball that has been moved toward the scoreboard, or turn off the power completely to stop it.

The curling hole case 101 is coupled with an annular elastic member 130 surrounding the outer circumferential surface of the curling ball so that the curling hole case 101 can be pushed out by the elasticity in collision with the other curling holes 100. A protrusion-shaped engaging portion 131 is formed on the inner circumferential surface of the elastic member 130 and a groove portion 103 is formed on the outer circumferential surface of the curling hole case 101 to be engaged with the engaging portion 131, Although it is preferable to fix it, the coupling method can be variously carried out. As a result, if a curling ball hits the same as a real curling game, it will use the rebound caused by the elasticity in the game. Therefore, although the elastic member 130 may be made of a polymer foamed resin having excellent elasticity, there is no limitation in the use of a material such as a carbon fiber or a shape memory steel sheet that is excellent in elasticity and resilience in an external impact. The elastic member 130 preferably has a hollow space inside so that the outer surface is bent and the weight is reduced so as to maximize the impact applied from the outside of the same height, Structure can be exemplified. For example, a donut-shaped plastic member having a plurality of hexagonal honeycomb-like holes formed on its surface can further reinforce the elastic function structurally.

The outer side guide film 105 is formed on the lower surface of the curling hole case 101 on the outer side and the inner side of the air discharge hole 107 to prevent the buoyancy of the air discharged through the air discharge hole 107 from being dispersed. And the inner guide film 105a are formed in parallel. That is, the outer guide film 105 is formed in an annular shape corresponding to the outer edge of the curling hole case 101 so that air discharged through the lower air outlet 107 is guided so as not to be released to the outside when buoyancy is formed, It is possible to form the buoyancy more effectively and thus to control more precisely while reducing the production cost. In addition, by closing the air moving place inside the inner guide film, the air discharged through the air outlet 107 is prevented from being dispersed toward the center of the curling hole case 101, Guides the air to be concentrated more directly to the discharge port 107. [

If the outer guide film 105 and the inner guide film 105a both touch the surface of the game mat 200, the frictional resistance may increase. To compensate for this, the outer guide film 105 may be formed on the surface of the game mat 200 The inner guide film 105a is slightly lower than the outer guide film or omitted so as not to touch the floor of the game mat and at the same time acts as a film for closing the air lifting force for discharging the outer guide film, It is also possible to support the internal buoyancy to work well in case.

In order to reduce the output of the motor connected to the air bladder 120 of the curling ball of the present invention developed in the indoor game and minimize the generation of frictional force and static electricity, the lower outer side guide film 105 of the curling hole case, Or the inner guide film 105a is more preferably graphened. In addition, the graphene coating can be coated on the inner surface of the curling ball case and the air bladder to prevent foreign substances such as dust from adhering to the inside of the case.

Examples of the method for obtaining the graphene include a mechanical method such as the scraping method of Andrew Gym, a mechanical method obtained by drawing from graphite, a chemical vapor deposition method obtained by chemical vapor deposition on a substrate, an oxidizing agent and / or a reducing agent to graphite, (Chemical exfoliation), and the chemical vapor deposition method has an advantage in that graphening and coating can be performed at the same time. In another coating method, a binder such as epoxy or silicone, a solvent such as ether, acetone, or alcohol, and a coating liquid comprising graphene are coated and cured.

Graphene coating is expected not only to reduce friction but also to prevent corrosion when the case of curling ring is made of metal. It has excellent thermal conductivity, dissipates heat quickly, and has excellent electric conductivity. Prevention. Therefore, it is possible to maximize the fun of the game by extending the useful life of the curling ball according to the present invention in which a large amount of frictional force is generated and improving the lubricating action.

The game mat 200 of the present invention is provided with a hog line 221 for separating a region for punching a curling hole 100 at one side and a score plate 220 having a plurality of concentric circles at the other side, And a pile fabric 230 is formed on the upper surface of the support plate 210. The pile fabric 230 has a circular arc shape and has a central region that is lower in the moving longitudinal direction and becomes higher toward both the left and right ends. In this way, when the athlete eccentrically pivots the curling ball toward the outer edge of both left and right ends, the curling ball can move using gravity while drawing the parabolic curve of the curved trajectory. In this case, the inertia of the flying ball can be controlled by the inclined structure. That is, even when the ball falls to the low center region and goes up, it is guided to the low center region by the action of gravity. Therefore, a new type of curling game can be enjoyed by using the game mat and curling ball of the present invention without using the broom.

The material of the support plate 210 may be composed of elastic urethane resin, rubber, foamed resin, hard plastic, etc. However, the bottom surface of the support plate 210 may be coated with an elastic material and a non-slip material so as to reduce floor adhesion and inter- Is preferably used.

In addition, the game mat 200 may be formed as a plurality of support plates detachably mountable. That is, a plurality of support plates, each having a coupling protrusion or an engagement groove, may be formed on the rim, and a pile fabric may be coupled to the surface of each support plate. The support plate 210 may include a plurality of detachable parts It is preferable that the mat is assembled so that it can be disassembled after the competition and stored in a small space. 4, the game support plate is divided into left and right sides, and each of the left and right mats is detachably attached to five parts. In this embodiment, a game mat having a width of 1 m and a length of 5 m, 10m and so on. It is possible to use various width and length according to need.

A pile fabric is formed on each of the support plates 210. The support plates may be formed such that the engagement protrusions 211 or the engagement grooves 213 are formed in correspondence with the edges of the support plates so that the support plates can be coupled with each other. The coupling protrusions 211 are inserted and coupled with the coupling grooves 213.

Since the support plate is composed of, for example, 1 m in length and 10 m in length, it is not constituted of a plurality of support plates. When the support plate is integrally formed, it is stored while being rolled. Particularly, since the curved surface structure in which the left and right side faces upward makes it difficult to work the integral support plate, the support plate is divided and attached in an assembled manner, and the assembly number is marked on the back surface of each divided support plate to assemble easily .

The pile fabric 230 can be exemplified by a structure in which the pile fabric 235 is planted in a U shape on the pile fabric 231 made of the weft 233 and the warp 234. [ Representative pile fabrics that are representative include velvet fabrics. The file fibers 235 planted in the pile fabric can be laid up when the sweeper sweeps the surface in one direction using the broom 300 with the horizontal surface as a reference and sweeps the sweeper in the opposite direction. In the present invention, the pile fabric fiber property is used as an effective control means when the curling ball is moved. It is preferable that the lying direction of the pile fiber yarn 235 is arranged in the moving direction of the ball, that is, Do. If the broom is swept in the direction of the curling ball, the fiber yarn will lie down, thereby realizing the intended direction and speed. The air discharged from the lower part of the curling ball is more strongly acted on the flattened floor surface when the pile fiber is laid down, so that buoyancy is increased, so that the lifting force of the curling ball is increased and the game mat resistance is reduced. On the contrary, when the pile fabric is woven in the direction opposite to the curling pillar, the fibers are built up, and only the wind discharged from the lower portion of the curling pile acts on only the uppermost end of the pile fabric. Buoyancy is greatly reduced. As a result, the resistance to obstruct the movement of the curling ball is increased, and smooth sliding is prevented.

As described above, the present invention is characterized in that the characteristic of the filament fiber straight up on the fabric surface is utilized in a curling game, and the conventional technology, that is, a game in which the sweeper can not use the broom as in Korean Utility Model No. 20-0436642 And the curling hole 100 is formed in a curved shape so as to be eccentrically eccentrically directed toward the left and right outsides of the curling hole 100. In this case, ) Is moved to the left and right outwards, and the score plate side moves strongly by curvilinear trajectory due to gravity and inertia, so that the game can be enjoyed by further combining the curling ball flow and the strength of force.

That is, in order to eliminate the resistance caused by the movement of the curling ball, the structure of the moving floor is formed in the same manner as that of a real curling game, and the resistance of the floor is increased or decreased by using a broom, By design, it is developed to be able to enjoy the curling game thoroughly in the home and the workplace without the ice, indoors and outdoors. Also, it is possible to move the curling ball using only gravity without using the broom, so that it is possible to support the game more easily.

The broome 300 of the present invention is the same as Broome used for actual curling, and the sweeper serves to sweep the surface of the game mat to change the movement path of the curling ball 100 or to control the speed. That is, the contact portion 301 provided at the bottom of the broom 300 is for changing the texture of the pile fiber of the surface of the game mat. The contact portion 301 may be formed of a general rubber plate, a brush structure such as a broom, And the same pile fabrics as the game mat. Further, since the action on the pile fabrics may be different depending on the characteristics of the abutting portions, the two sweepers may be constituted by using different materials as the broom.

While the present invention has been described in connection with what is presently considered to be practical exemplary embodiments, it is to be understood that the invention is not limited to the disclosed embodiments, but, on the contrary, It is to be understood that the invention is not limited to the disclosed embodiments, but, on the contrary, is intended to cover various modifications and similarities.
