Description

Hockey Puck for Table Hockey

The present invention relates to a hockey puck used in a hockey game table, and more particularly, to a hockey puck for table hockey that can secure a sense of hitting and speed of the hockey puck without using air and increase the fun.

Table hockey is designed so that you can enjoy the game of hockey even in a small indoor space.

Such table hockey is a game played with a flat and smooth table with goalposts on both sides of the table, and a flat plastic hockey puck on the table. .

In particular, in hockey, hitting at high speed is a very important factor for the fun of the game. If the friction between the table top and the hockey puck is high, it is not easily pushed. give.

In other words, it uses air to make the hockey puck very subtly float in the air to minimize frictional force. It is slightly lifted, so if you hit it with a batting stick, the hockey puck is hit at high speed as if there is no friction, so you can enjoy the game.

However, the table used for table hockey as above has a problem in that the production cost increases because an electric device for ejecting air is built-in. There is a problem that the price and installation cost are very expensive.

In particular, in order to drive an electric device such as an air blower built into the table, it can be installed only in a place where electricity can be supplied, so the installation location is very limited, and it takes up too much space. And because the space utilization is very low, it is almost impossible to use it at home.

In addition, if the air outlet is partially blocked by foreign substances, etc., the air ejection amount varies, so the fun is halved and the performance is reduced, so management is very important. It has the disadvantage that it is very cumbersome to use because it is necessary.

Therefore, some hockey pucks have recently been made to slide smoothly with a bearing structure without using air, but there is a problem in that the manufacturing cost is excessively increased due to the complexity of the structure. There is a problem in that the sliding performance is lowered and the fun is halved.

The present invention is to solve the above problems, and it is not only possible to enjoy a high-speed hockey game on the table without using air, but also to make the hockey puck a lightweight structure with a simple sliding structure and a structure with high elastic repulsion. This is to provide a hockey puck for table hockey that can double the fun of the game.

The present invention, as a technical idea for achieving the above object, comprises a plurality of support parts along the circumference of a circular hockey puck body, and a plurality of supporting parts formed to protrude downward to maintain the hockey puck body in a floating state from a table top plate. The support portion including the hemispherical protrusion is radially arranged, and the hockey puck body has a ring structure in which a perforation is formed in the center to generate a repulsive force due to elasticity when the hockey puck is struck.

In addition, the support part inserts a moving tool inside the housing to hit the hockey puck to slide in a rolling structure, and divides the rings constituting the hockey puck body into first and second rings with different diameters to further increase the elastic repulsion. made it possible

According to the hockey puck for table hockey of the present invention, the structure of the table can be simplified by allowing the hockey puck to slide smoothly without the need to make the hockey puck float in the air by blowing air.

In addition, it is possible to provide inexpensive table hockey game equipment by greatly reducing the production cost of the table, and since the table is self-installing and very easy to install, it can be used at home. can be promoted

In addition, since there is no need for air blow holes in the table and the material of the table top is not limited, the table can be manufactured in a structure that can be used for multiple purposes, such as using it in common with other sports tables. Therefore, it can be configured to be folded, so there is almost no restriction on installation space, and after use, the table can be folded and stored, so space can be used very efficiently.

In addition, when hitting the hockey puck, the repulsion force is increased by the resilience force generated by the structure of the hockey puck itself, so that the game can be played at a faster speed. It has a doubling effect.

Hereinafter, the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

The hockey puck for table hockey of the present invention includes a circular hockey puck body 100 and a lower part of the hockey puck body 100 to keep the hockey puck body floating from the table top as shown in FIGS. 1 to 5 . The hockey puck body 100 is maintained in a state of being floated from the table top by the protrusion 220 formed at the bottom of the support part 200 to include the support part 200 that is formed to protrude to the side. By minimizing the friction area, it is characterized in that the sliding speed of the hockey puck is increased without installing an air exhaust device on the table, so that a high-speed table hockey game can be enjoyed.

First, the hockey puck body 100 is made of a disc shape having a predetermined thickness, and the material is made of synthetic resin injection material having its own elasticity, so that a repulsive force is generated by its own elastic force when hitting using a striking club.

In addition, the support unit 200 has a protrusion 220 protruding toward the lower side of the hockey puck body 100 so that the hockey puck body 100 can maintain a floating state from the table top. The hockey puck 100 body is maintained in a floating state by the protrusion 220 of In order to ensure stable sliding while maintaining, a plurality of support units 200 may be arranged radially to prevent inclination to either side.

The most preferred embodiment for the quantity and location of the support parts 200 is to form three support parts 200 near the outer edge of the hockey puck body 100 to reduce friction with the table top without inclining to either side. can be minimized

At this time, in order to reduce the frictional force with the table when the hockey puck is struck by the striking club and moved while sliding, the support unit 200 includes a plurality of protrusions 220 protruding in a hemispherical shape toward the lower side of the hockey puck body 100 in a radial shape. is composed of an array of

At this time, the protrusion 220 is integrally formed of the same material as the hockey puck body 100, so that the hockey puck body 100 and the support unit 200 can be simply molded and manufactured into a single body only by one injection molding. , more preferably, the protrusion 220 is a receiving space ( 242) can be provided to insert the moving member 260 into the receiving space 242 so that the sliding movement can be made more smoothly.

At this time, the moving member 260 is made of metal to minimize friction and to facilitate rolling, but except for the moving member 260, the entire hockey puck body 100 and the support unit 200 are integrally molded with synthetic resin. By inserting the moving member 260 and assembling it, it can be easily manufactured.

In addition, by making the housing 240 of the support unit 200 in an open shape with a spherical lower portion, a part of the moving port 260 is exposed to the lower side to allow rolling while improving the moldability of the housing 240 . It can be manufactured simply with a single mold, and when configuring the housing 240 , the inner space area of the receiving space 242 is finely larger than the size of the moving port 260 , and the entry part of the receiving space 242 . When the width of 244 is formed to be small, as shown in FIG. 6 , the spherical moving member 260 is inserted by force to enable simple assembly, and in the state in which the moving member is already inserted, the moving member 260 ), and it can be prevented from falling arbitrarily.

That is, the entire outer wall of the moving member 260 minimizes the area in contact with the inner wall of the receiving space 242 rather than in close contact so that the moving member 260 can roll more smoothly, at this time the receiving space. In order to minimize the frictional force with the inner wall of 242, as shown in FIG. 7, an uneven 243 or a protruding wall may be configured, and the uneven or protruding wall is neutral without biasing the direction of the rolling to either side. It can be configured radially to maintain

At this time, if the cutout 246 is formed in the entry part 244 as shown in FIG. 8 , it can be assembled more easily when the moving tool 260 is inserted into the receiving space 242 of the housing 240, If you want to separate the moving member 260 from the housing 240, you can take it out after holding the hockey puck main body 100 and twisting it to open the incised part. When this is lowered, it can be used very conveniently because it is possible to manage the removal and washing of foreign substances by separating the moving port 260 .

On the other hand, the hockey puck body 100 is formed of a ring 140 having a hole 120 formed in the center so that a repulsive force is generated by elasticity when the hockey puck is struck.

The ring 140 is composed of first and second rings 142 and 144 spaced apart from each other inside and outside in diameter to secure an elastic repulsive force when striking the hockey puck, as shown in FIG. Rings 1 and 2 (142, 144) are suspended by the support unit 200 so that the protrusions 220 are radially arranged along the circumference of the hockey puck body 100 while the ring 140 has a double elastic structure. there is.

That is, a first ring 142 having a relatively large diameter and constituting the outer periphery of the hockey puck body 100 is provided, and a second ring 144 having a relatively small diameter is provided inside the first ring ( By providing a space 143 between the 142 ) and the second ring 144 , the elastic repulsive force of the hockey puck body 100 can be doubled.

Therefore, while the housing 240 is integrally formed with the hockey puck body 100, the cost of raw materials is reduced due to the structure in which the hole 120 formed in the hockey puck body 100 and the space 143 with a double ring structure are provided. It is possible to shorten the cooling time as much as possible during injection molding while minimizing it, and because it can be molded simply by using the upper and lower single molds, the striking force due to the elastic repulsive force can be greatly improved due to the double ring structure despite the very low cost. there will be

In addition, while the body 100 of the hockey puck, which is relatively light in weight, is manufactured by plastic injection molding, the moving tool 260, which is relatively heavy in weight, is built-in to prevent the hockey puck from being overturned by hitting and to enjoy the game continuously.

And, since there is a deviation in the elasticity of the part where the support part 200 is formed and the outer periphery that is not formed in the hockey puck main body 100 as described above, it is more difficult to predict the hitting direction when hitting using the hitting club, and the fun is doubled. it will be possible to do

At this time, in order to adjust the elastic force by the double ring, the elastic force may be decreased by increasing the quantity of the support part 200 or the elastic force may be greatly adjusted by minimizing the quantity.

And by auxiliaryly forming a suspension connecting the first and second rings to each other in the separation space 143 of the ring 140, even when made of a limited material, the degree of elastic repulsion of the first and second rings can be adjusted. It is possible to adjust the elasticity according to the purpose or purpose of use such as education or entertainment, and it is possible to provide more various options for the hockey puck.

In this case, the second ring 144 may have a polygonal ring structure such as a triangle, and has a polygonal ring structure having a shape corresponding to the number of the support units 200 formed along the circumference of the hockey puck body 100 . It is possible to make the deviation of elasticity higher by making it lower.

For example, if you want to configure the three support parts 200 along the edge of the hockey pack body 100, the shape of the second ring 144 is a triangle or a hexagon, and the vertex is the support part ( 200), when hitting the outer periphery of the hockey puck main body 100 using a striking club, it is possible to further increase the deviation of the elastic force according to the hitting position.

In addition, when the support part 200 forms a through hole 248 at the upper end of the housing 240 as shown in FIG. 10 , when the moving member 260 is inserted into the housing 240 , the housing 240 ) Since the inside air is ejected to the outside, the moving member 260 can be easily assembled.

And when the moving tool 260 is to be separated from the hockey puck main body 100, a tool is inserted into the upper side of the through hole 248 to push the moving tool 260 to the housing 240 of the support unit 200. By taking it out easily, cleaning and maintenance can be made very easily, and the molding structure can be further simplified.
