Enligt föreliggande uppfinning bildas en anordning , som är anordnad att användas av golfspelare i samband med träning av svingar och andra slag vid bollslagning mot visst mål, av ett bollfång 2 och_en ram 3. Anordningen 1 l , som är avsedd att vara anordnad att kunna vikas samman till en kompakt enhet för att ta liten plats vid lagring och transport av densamma, inne- fattar av detta skäl en ram 3 , som uppvisar medel för att kunna vikas mellan ett hopvikt lagringsläge I, ssåsom visas i fig 6 pá ritningarna, och ett utvikt mottagningläge II, såsom visas i fig 1, 2 och 4 på ritningarna, för uppställning pá ett passande underlag.According to the present invention, a device which is arranged to be used by golfers in connection with the training of swings and other strokes when hitting the ball against a certain target is formed by a ball catcher 2 and a frame 3. The device 11, which is intended to be arranged to be foldable together into a compact unit for taking up little space during storage and transport thereof, for this reason a frame 3 comprises means which can be folded between a folded storage position I, as shown in Fig. 6 of the drawings, and a unfolded receiving position II, as shown in Figs. 1, 2 and 4 of the drawings, for mounting on a suitable substrate.

I lagringsläge I är ramen 3 hopvikt att kunna mottagas i en väska Å eller på annat sätt omslutas av något annat slags fodral, såsom exempelvis visas i fig 6.In storage position I, the frame 3 is folded to be able to be received in a bag Å or otherwise enclosed by some other kind of case, as is shown, for example, in Fig. 6.

Sagda medel kan utgöras av svängleder 5-13 belägna mellan i ramen 3 ingående ramdelar 31, 311 14-19 den stöd sïïï' I Ramen 3 kan bildas av en nedre stödramdel 3 och en övre bärramdel 3II med ett antal leder 5 belägna mellan sagda båda delar samt mellan i delarna 31, BII 15, 16-17, , som är , delelement ingående delelement 14- 18-19, se ett förse den övre barremdelen aïï, som kan vara bàgformad med väsentligen konkav form, sett i riktning 20 från avsedd bollutslagningsplats 21, kan vik as ned i riktning 22 mot den nedre stödramdelen 3I innan ramdelelementen 14-15, 16-17, 18-19 parvis vikas samman i riktning 23, 24 mot ramens mitt 25.Said means may consist of pivot joints 5-13 located between frame parts 31, 311 14-19 included in the frame 3. The support s1 in the frame 3 may be formed by a lower support frame part 3 and an upper support frame part 3II with a number of joints 5 located between said two parts and between in the parts 31, BII 15, 16-17,, which are, sub-elements included sub-elements 14- 18-19, see provide the upper bar part aïï, which may be arcuate with a substantially concave shape, seen in direction 20 from intended ball deflection location 21, can be folded down in direction 22 towards the lower support frame part 3I before the frame part elements 14-15, 16-17, 18-19 are folded in pairs in direction 23, 24 towards the center 25 of the frame.

Mellan de båda ramdelarna 31, BII är stöd 3III anordnade att sträcka sig exempelvis diagonalt, och i det visade exemplet bildas sagda stöd av stag 26, 27, som uppvisar leder 12, 13, som möjliggör vikning av desamma tillsammans med ramdelarna 31, 3II_ staden sïïï är lampiigen försedda med spärr 28, 29, så att de lösgörbart kan kopplas samman med bärramdelen 3II vid behov, såsom senare skall förklaras.Between the two frame parts 31, BII, supports 3III are arranged to extend, for example, diagonally, and in the example shown said support is formed by struts 26, 27, which have joints 12, 13, which enable their folding together with the frame parts 31, 3II_ the city. sïïï are lampically provided with latches 28, 29, so that they can be releasably connected to the support frame part 3II if necessary, as will be explained later.

Ramen 3 är uppbyggd så, att den bildar tvâ pâ inbördes avstånd belägna ramgavlar 3A, 3B, vilka kan vara formade 459 395 att likna ett böjt L sett från sidan, och som är inbördes för- bundna via svängledsförsedda ramdelselement 14-19.The frame 3 is constructed so as to form two mutually spaced frame ends 3A, 3B, which may be shaped 459 395 to resemble a curved L seen from the side, and which are interconnected via hinged frame member 14-19.

Genom att lederna 5-13 är anordnade att kunna vikas åtminstone 90° och ramdelelement 14-19 samt gavlar 3A, 3B är formanpassade till varandra kan ramen 3 vikas mellan sagda lägen II; I med bakre ramdelelement 16, 17 resp främre ramdel- element l4, 15; 18, 19 vikbara i motriktade riktningen 24 resp 23 i förhållande till varandra och med gavlarna 3A, 3B anordnade i hopvikt läge förbara i riktning mot 30 resp från 31 varandra.Because the joints 5-13 are arranged to be able to be folded at least 90 ° and frame part elements 14-19 and ends 3A, 3B are shaped to each other, the frame 3 can be folded between said positions II; I with rear frame part elements 16, 17 and front frame part elements 14, 15, respectively; 18, 19 foldable in the opposite direction 24 and 23, respectively, relative to each other and with the ends 3A, 3B arranged in a folded position, extendable in the direction of 30 and 31, respectively.

Därvid kan ramdelelementen 14-19 vara anordnade på en sådan nivå i förhållande till varandra att de kan mottagas med det ena ramdelselementet beläget ovanför ett annat ramdelsele- mentet, och i det visade exemplet är bakre ramdelselement 16, 17, vilka kan vara låsbara till tillhörande gavlar 3A, 3B via haspar eller andra losskopplingsbara kopplingar 32, 33, anordnade att mottagas över de båda främre på varandra staplade ramdelsele- menten 14, 15; 18, 19.In this case, the frame sub-elements 14-19 can be arranged at such a level relative to each other that they can be received with one frame sub-element located above another frame sub-element, and in the example shown rear frame sub-elements 16, 17, which can be lockable to associated end caps 3A, 3B via reels or other detachable couplings 32, 33, arranged to be received over the two front stacked frame member elements 14, 15; 18, 19.

Bollfànget 2, som innefattar åtminstone en öppning 34 för mottagning av ett antal bollar 35, som avses slås från utslagningsplatsen 21, vilken kan vara belägen på ett visst avstånd X från anordningen 7, exempelvis ett par meter framför bollfànget 2, är förbindbar med sagda ram 3 lämpligen lösgörbart, så att ramen 3 efter borttagning av sagda bollfàng 2 kan vikas samman såsom tidigare sagts.The ball catch 2, which comprises at least one opening 34 for receiving a number of balls 35, which is intended to be hit from the striking point 21, which may be located at a certain distance X from the device 7, for example a few meters in front of the ball catch 2, is connectable to said frame. 3 suitably detachable, so that the frame 3 after removal of said ball catch 2 can be folded as previously said.

Lämpligen innefattas bollfànget 2 av en företrädes- vis pàsformad duk av starkt och motstándstáligt material, såsom exempelvis nylon eller annat konstfibermaterial, varvid boll- mottagningsöppningen 34 är långsträckt och anordnad att sträcka sig i höjdled centralt utmed dukens mittområde 2A. öppningen 34 mynnar lämpligen i en till dukens främre parti 21 fästad boll- mottagningsficka 36.Conveniently, the ball catch 2 is comprised of a preferably shaped fabric of strong and resistant material, such as for example nylon or other synthetic fiber material, the ball receiving opening 34 being elongate and arranged to extend vertically centrally along the central area 2A of the fabric. the opening 34 suitably opens into a ball receiving pocket 36 attached to the front portion 21 of the fabric.

En bild 37 av exempelvis en golfflagga kan lämp- ligen vara anrodnad på sagda ficka 36 synlig i riktning från bollutslagsplatsen 2l, men lämpligen finnes även en bild 38 av en golfbana utmed det parti av bollfànget 2, som omger öppningen 34 hos sagda främre parti 21. I Efter losskoppling av stödens spärrar 28, 29 kan sagda bollfàng 2 trädas över ramen 3 i riktning av pilen 39 för mottagning av ramen 3 när denna hàlles i utvikt mottagningsläge II. Bollfànget 2 kan efter återställande av stöden SIII efter 459 595 införing genom urtagningar hos bollfånget 2 och låsning av spärrarna 28, 29 till ramen 3 kvarhàllas effektivt när anord- ningen tages i bruk.An image 37 of, for example, a golf flag may suitably be mounted on said pocket 36 visible in the direction of the ball tee 211, but suitably there is also an image 38 of a golf course along the portion of the ball catch 2 surrounding the opening 34 of said front portion 21. After disengagement of the support locks 28, 29, said ball catch 2 can be stepped over the frame 3 in the direction of the arrow 39 for receiving the frame 3 when it is kept in the unfolded receiving position II. After restoring the supports SIII after insertion after 459 595 insertion by recesses of the ball catch 2 and locking of the catches 28, 29 to the frame 3, the ball catcher 2 can be effectively retained when the device is put into use.

Funktionen av anordningen 1 torde ha framgått av det ovan sagda, men kortfattat kan sägas att beroende, på vilken slags golfklubba, som användes kommer bollarna 35 att spridas utmed öppningens höjd vid rätt utförda slag och mottagas av påsen 36 för att efteråt kunna tömmas ur densamma. Bollar 35, som ej går genom öppningen 34 kommer att effektivt mottagas och dämpas av det parti av bollfànget, som angiver öppningen 34 och falla ned pà underlaget 40, vilket kan utgöras av exempelvis ett golv eller marken beroende på var anordningen 1 uppställes.The function of the device 1 should have been apparent from the above, but in short it can be said that depending on the type of golf club used, the balls 35 will be spread along the height of the opening at properly executed strokes and received by the bag 36 to be subsequently emptied therefrom . Balls 35 which do not pass through the opening 34 will be effectively received and attenuated by the portion of the ball catch which indicates the opening 34 and falls onto the substrate 40, which may be, for example, a floor or ground depending on where the device 1 is set up.

Anordningen 1 är lätt att bruka, eftersom den kan användas överallt och den är även lätt att frakta och förvara tack vare dess vikförmåga.The device 1 is easy to use, as it can be used everywhere and it is also easy to transport and store thanks to its folding ability.

Uppfinningen är ej begränsad till det ovan beskrivna och pà ritningar visade exemplet utan kan varieras inom ramen för patentkraven utan att uppfinningstanken fràngàs.The invention is not limited to the example described above and shown in the drawings, but can be varied within the scope of the claims without departing from the spirit of the invention.
