The frame is designed so as not to pose any danger to football players in the event of an impact and is made such that it automatically returns the initial position thereof should it be knocked down following a strike or impact. The frame consists of: a one-piece body produced using a mould and provided with an inner supporting element on which the printed advertising message is displayed; and a spring aligned with each of the goal posts and coupled between the post and a respective part for joining same to a peg designed to be screwed into the ground, each spring being covered with a resilient, flexible protective sleeve.

Description

BASTI DOR ABATI BLE AND F LEXI BLE WITH REDON DEKA SKIRT TO PLACE PU BLICIDAD J UNTO TO THE PORTERÍAS DE FOOTBALL Descri ption Objective of the invention The present invention, as expressed in the statement of this specification, refers to a flexible and collapsible frame, manufactured in one piece, by means of a mold, with materials of polyethylene, polyurethane, rubber or any material with property of flexibility and that is also collapsible, by means of a spring, so that it is folded in the event that a player falls or hits on it, and that it can lodge publicity, to be able to place it next to the sides of the soccer goals, as well as in the back parts of them. The folding frame has been designed so that besides complying with the FI FA regulations, it does not constitute any danger for the players or referees since with other fixed supports accidents have occurred and are therefore dangerous and can cause accidents when colliding with them.

Likewise, this folding and flexible frame is designed to house and place advertising in it in printed, screen-printed or painted form, on a material such as fabric, nylon, net, paper, vinyl, plastic or any other material that can be printed .

The field of application of the invention is comprised within the sector dedicated to the manufacture of devices and supports advertising Background of the invention Currently, in the sport of football, there are advertising media that are located around the playing field, and that are dural or even flexible supports, but they are rigid and non-folding and do not have rounded corners, so they are not they could be placed next to the soccer goals, given their rigidity and hardness, because they would be dangerous for the players or referees and therefore the soccer estates do not allow their placement. That is why we have designed this new folding support, and flexible with rounded skiing.

It is already known, through the Spanish Utility Model U-200600523, a flexible support developed to present advertising messages, of preferential positioning before football goals, which, according to one of its modalities, is composed of a support of flexible material, in the form of a one-piece frame, realized with a single mold, whose frame includes an advertising network joined to said frame by any known technique appropriate, and whose frame is fixed to the ground by means of two conical pieces stuck in the grass, earth, etc. , prepared to receive the corresponding ends of the side posts of said advertising frame.

Brief description of the invention To achieve the objectives set and avoid the inconveniences indicated above, the invention consists of a frame or folding support that, besides being flexible, in one piece and with rounded corners, properties that constitute our highest priority and claim, presents the additional particularity that is endowed with the property of flexibility, in order to achieve the ideal formula so that the frame of the invention provides a perfect solution and can not cause injuries to players, whose preferred modality has been achieved by manufacturing a polyurethane elastomer frame with a hardness of 98 Sh ° A (shores A) equivalent to 60Sh ° D (shores D), and with a diameter of the order of 25 mm, all manufactured by means of a mold and in a single piece, in order that the ends are rounded and that there are no unions or glued or soldiers that can constitute any danger to players and referees, together with the property of folding achieved thanks to the of a spring in relation to the lower ends of each of the lateral uprights, through which the connection between the upright of each side and the respective stake previously stuck in the turf is established. This spring is lined with a rubber sheath that protects the spring from the blows of the players without subtracting at all the property that it is collapsible.

With this innovation of the folding, two fundamental objectives have been achieved: on the one hand, the fact that when the support is hit by a player does not cause any damage, and on the other hand, that in case this action occurs or even that the frame is hit by the ball, the support returns to its original state by itself same, without the need for an operator to reposition it, achieving an innovative advertising effect, never seen before on a football field.

As it has been said, the fixation to the game ground will be made by two stakes, hollow, that carry a thread of screw to be able to bury them in the lawn without having to hit them, thus avoiding their deformation.

BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS Next, to facilitate a better understanding of this descriptive specification and forming an integral part thereof, some drawings are attached in which, with illustrative and non-limiting character, the object of the invention has been represented. In such drawings: Figure 1 represents a front view of the collapsible and flexible frame with rounded corners, object of the invention, and Figure 2 shows a view equivalent to Figure 1, with the difference that the springs of both sides are integrated within the rubber of the frame.

Preferred mode of the invention Next, a description of the preferred embodiment of the invention will be made, referring to the numbering adopted in the figures. Thus this modality of the folding and flexible frame with rounded corners to place advertising on the soccer goals, is what will be realized preferably in the following manner: A folding and flexible polyurethane elastomer frame of 98 Sh ° A (shores A) equivalent to 60Sh ° D (s D) and with 25 mm in diameter, which has been manufactured by means of a mold and in one piece, which appears referenced in the Figures with the number (1), is joined by stitching, welding or gluing to a support (2) network, fabric, or any other material, to insert an advertising that may be printed silkscreen, painted, etc. , on said support (2). Once the advertising is incorporated in the support (2), a respective spring (3) is incorporated in each of the side posts of the frame (1), which has the function of joining and assembling each side of the frame (1) with the piece (6) of union, made with the same material, and all this insert it into the cylindrical stake (5) which in turn will be introduced in the turf (7) of the football field, but not before protecting the spring (3) with one (4) rubber or sponge cylindrical sleeve. With all this a set is achieved such that, in the event of frontal or lateral collision of a footballer on the support (1) and thanks to the action of the spring (3), the support is turned in the same direction in which it is apply the force, so that by means of its folding and flexible function does not harm the player, and in the event that the collision is against the spring, thanks to the protective handle (4), the athlete can not suffer any damage when hitting the pier (3). Also in the case of collision with any corner of the frame, being rounded, the athlete will not suffer the damage that would cause a corner with edge.
