Abstract

A device for making balls slow down more than they would otherwise do in order to force a user to make a greater effort than usual or allow users more time to react. The device consists of an optionally woven sock (1) and the ball (6) is placed at one end (5) thereof. When the user strikes or throws the ball, the sock causes air resistance which slows the ball down. The device is particularly designed to slow balls down in order to (a) improve the strength, speed and technique of the user, and (b) enable slower players to play certain ball games (tennis, volleyball, etc.) more easily.

Description

DISPOSITIF DE FREINAGE POUR BALLES BRAKING DEVICE FOR BALES
La présente invention concerne un dispositif pour freiner des balles de tennis (ou balles et ballons d'autres sports) pour obliger l'utilisateur à un effort anormal. Autre intérêts : musculation des joueurs, ralentir, raccourcir et visualiser les trajectoires.The present invention relates to a device for braking tennis balls (or balls and balls of other sports) to force the user to an abnormal effort. Other interests: bodybuilding of players, slowing down, shortening and visualizing trajectories.
L'utilisation de balles normales n'oblige par le joueur à utiliser le maximum de puissance et de vitesse. Ceci peut entrainer au niveau musculaire un phénomène appelé "barrière de vitesse". Par ailleurs les balles normales pour les joueurs de bas niveau ont une vitesse trop importante pour leur permettre d'avoir le temps de s'organiser.The use of normal balls does not oblige the player to use maximum power and speed. This can cause a phenomenon called "speed barrier" at the muscular level. In addition, normal balls for low level players have too high a speed to allow them to have time to organize.
Le dispositif selon l'invention permet de remédier à ces inconvénients. En effet, le dispositif de freinage selon une première caractéristique, est constitué d'un manchon tissé fermé à l'une des extrémités, dans lequel on introduit la balle. La résistance à l'air supplémentaire due au manchon freine la balle. Les utilisateurs voulant propulser la balle seront obligés de fournir un effort beaucoup plus important que normalement et ils auront aussi plus de temps pour organiser le renvoi de cette balle.The device according to the invention overcomes these drawbacks. Indeed, the braking device according to a first characteristic, consists of a woven sleeve closed at one of the ends, into which the ball is introduced. The additional air resistance due to the sleeve brakes the ball. Users wanting to propel the ball will be forced to exert a much greater effort than normal and they will also have more time to organize the return of this ball.
Selon des modes particuliers de réalisation : l'extrémité contenant la balle peut être renforcée, renforcement dû à une maille plus serrée et un fil plus épais;According to particular embodiments: the end containing the bale can be reinforced, reinforcement due to a tighter mesh and a thicker wire;
- les longueurs des manchons peuvent être comprises entre 0,05 m et 3 m;- the lengths of the sleeves can be between 0.05 m and 3 m;
- le manchon peut être non fermé et cousu sur le périmètre de la balle;- the sleeve can be closed and sewn on the perimeter of the bale;
- le manchon peut être constitué d'une membrane;- the sleeve may consist of a membrane;
- le manchon peut être resserré pour envelopper la balle et ainsi l'immobiliser;- the sleeve can be tightened to wrap the ball and thus immobilize it;
- l'extrémité du manchon opposée à la balle peut être resserrée ceci afin d'éviter les accrochages avec la raquette par exemple.- the end of the sleeve opposite the ball can be tightened this to avoid snagging with the racket, for example.
Les dessins annexés illustrent l'invention.The accompanying drawings illustrate the invention.
En référence à ces dessins, le dispositif est composé d'un manchon tissé 1, dont l'une des extrémités est fermée et a une forme correspondant à la balle 6.With reference to these drawings, the device is composed of a woven sleeve 1, one of the ends of which is closed and has a shape corresponding to the ball 6.
Dans la forme de réalisation selon les figures 1, 3 et 4,In the embodiment according to FIGS. 1, 3 and 4,
FEUILLE DE REMPLACEMENT l'extrémité du manchon 5 contenant la balle peut être renforcée, renforcement dû à une maille plus serrée et un fil plus épais.REPLACEMENT SHEET the end of the sleeve 5 containing the ball can be reinforced, reinforcement due to a tighter mesh and a thicker wire.
Dans la forme de réalisation selon la figure 2, l'extrémité 2 du manchon peut être non fermée et cousue sur le périmètre de la balle. Dans la forme de réalisation selon la figure 3. le manchon peut être resserré 3 pour envelopper la balle et ainsi l'immobiliser.In the embodiment according to Figure 2, the end 2 of the sleeve can be unclosed and sewn around the perimeter of the bale. In the embodiment according to Figure 3. the sleeve can be tightened 3 to wrap the ball and thus immobilize it.
Dans la forme de réalisation selon la figure 4, l'extrémité du manchon opposée à la balle peut être resserrée 4.In the embodiment according to FIG. 4, the end of the sleeve opposite the ball can be tightened 4.
Selon une variante non illustrée, le manchon peut être constitué d'une membrane.According to a variant not illustrated, the sleeve may consist of a membrane.
A titre d'exemple non limitatif, le manchon pourra avoir une longueur comprise entre 0,05 m et 3 m.By way of nonlimiting example, the sleeve may have a length of between 0.05 m and 3 m.
Le dispositif selon l'invention peut être utilisé simplement comme frein plus ou moins important ou comme support d'un nouveau sport, variante du tennis (mais aussi du volley, hand, foot etc...).The device according to the invention can be used simply as a more or less important brake or as a support for a new sport, a variant of tennis (but also volleyball, handball, football, etc.).
Il permet :It allows:
- premièrement d'améliorer la puissance, la vitesse et la mécanique gestuelle de l'utilisateur;- firstly to improve the power, speed and gestural mechanics of the user;
- et deuxièmement, il permet aussi à des joueurs moins rapides de pratiquer plus facilement certains sports de balles (tennis, volley etc... ) .- and secondly, it also allows slower players to practice certain ball sports more easily (tennis, volleyball, etc.).
