La présente invention concerne un jeu d'adresse utilisant un nouveau propulseur muni d'un accessoire volant original.The present invention relates to a game of skill using a new thruster provided with an original flying accessory.

Cependant un examen de ces dispositifs montre qu'ils comportent des inconvénients de taille, qui les rendent difficiles à manier, fatiguants et peu performants. Ces principaux inconvénients se caractérisent par :However, an examination of these devices shows that they have major drawbacks, which make them difficult to handle, tiring and ineffective. These main drawbacks are characterized by:
— Des poignées positionnées totalement en dehors du plan qui prolonge latéralement la surface de propulsion. Le dispositif de JACQUET FR 2 387059 ou celui de DAVIS US 4938 484 illustrent cet inconvénient qui procure au joueur une difficulté et une fatigue accrues pour obtenir une égale tension sur toute la largeur ou hauteur du propulseur, lors de son extension.- Handles positioned completely outside the plane which laterally extends the propulsion surface. The device of JACQUET FR 2 387059 or that of DAVIS US 4938 484 illustrate this drawback which gives the player increased difficulty and fatigue in order to obtain equal tension over the entire width or height of the propellant, during its extension.
— Une structure compacte de la surface de propulsion comme par exemple dans le jouet de BLANC FR 2 520 245 ce qui provoque une importante résistance à l'air rendant le dispositif plus fatiguant et ayant moins d'effet.- A compact structure of the propulsion surface as for example in the toy of WHITE FR 2 520 245 which causes significant resistance to air making the device more tiring and having less effect.
— Un lien ou corde en matière élastique ("tendeur", "ruban en caoutchouc"...) s'étendant sur toute la longueur des côtés longitudinaux de la surface de propulsion, ce qui non seulement, exige du joueur, un effort musculaire supplémentaire pour manier le dispositif, mais amortit son extension brusque, ce qui limite l'effet de propulsion. Cet inconvénient concerne essentiellement les propulseurs de APERT FR 355 672 ; MIGNOT FR 821 508 et DAVIS US 4 938 484.- A link or rope made of elastic material ("tensioner", "rubber band" ...) extending over the entire length of the longitudinal sides of the propulsion surface, which not only requires muscular effort from the player additional to handle the device, but dampens its sudden extension, which limits the propelling effect. This drawback mainly concerns the propellants of APERT FR 355 672; MIGNOT FR 821 508 and DAVIS US 4 938 484.

Cet inconvénient concerne notamment les inventions de- . - . ,, . - . - - <- ' • • - - - A rigid, complicated or bulky support, insofar as it is not limited simply to a side bar on each side of the propulsion surface. This drawback concerns in particular the inventions of
LIEBICH DE 2704303 ; ROSENKAIMER DE 565654, STEPHENS US 4234 183 ; HAUPHOFF DE 223960 ; MIGNOT FR 821 508 et APERT FR 355672.LIEBICH OF 2704303; ROSENKAIMER OF 565654, STEPHENS US 4234 183; HAUPHOFF OF 223960; MIGNOT FR 821 508 and APERT FR 355672.
En outre, il semble évident que tous les propulseurs connus, ont été conçus soit avec une surface de propulsion très étroite engendrant une plus grande difficulté à recevoir le projectile, soit avec une hauteur insuffisante, réduite à une dimension de "poignée", d'où une peine accrue à rattraper le projectile à une volée basse, où un peu éloignée. Ainsi à travers les figures des dessins contenus dans l'invention de MIGNOT FR 821 508, le poing du joueur, couvre-t-il quasiment toute la hauteur ou largeur du propulseur. DAVIS quant à lui dans son invention US 4 938 484 propose 6 pouces (soit environ 15 cm), comme largeur de la surface de propulsion.In addition, it seems obvious that all known thrusters have been designed either with a very narrow propulsion surface causing greater difficulty in receiving the projectile, or with an insufficient height, reduced to a dimension of "handle", where an increased pain to catch the projectile at a low volley, where a little distant. Thus through the figures of the drawings contained in the invention of MIGNOT FR 821 508, the fist of the player, it covers almost the entire height or width of the propellant. DAVIS meanwhile in his invention US 4,938,484 offers 6 inches (about 15 cm), as the width of the propulsion surface.
Enfin, un autre inconvénient relevé et non des moindres, c'est que dans tous ces dispositifs cités plus haut, les deux bords latéraux de la surface de propulsion sont rigides ou rigidifiés, par exemple, à l'aide "d'entretoises rigides" chez MIGNOT. Cet inconvénient, non seulement encombre, alourdit le dispositif et gêne le joueur, mais empêche le relâchement de ces deux côtés rigidifiés et, par conséquent, limite le relâchement de la surface souple, ce qui affecte et amoindrit l'effet de l'extension.Finally, another drawback noted and not least, is that in all these devices mentioned above, the two lateral edges of the propulsion surface are rigid or stiffened, for example, using "rigid spacers" at MIGNOT. This drawback not only clutters, weighs down the device and annoys the player, but prevents the loosening of these two stiffened sides and, consequently, limits the loosening of the flexible surface, which affects and lessens the effect of the extension.
La présente invention a, en conséquence, pour but de remédier à ces inconvénients. Pour atteindre cet objectif, le dispositif selon l'invention, est constitué d'une surface souple, sensiblement en forme de quadrilatère, de préférence en structure de type filet, limitant au maximum la résistance de l'air. Ladite surface souple, est reliée à deux supports latéraux, constituant deux manches, sensiblement rigides, de façon à obtenir de chaque côté une grande ouverture, entre un bord souple de la surface de propulsion et un manche-support rigide. Lesdites grandes ouvertures latérales, destinées à faciliter la préhension du dispositif, permettent aux mains du joueur d'être décalées par rapport au milieu des manches-supports et, de se retrouver le plus près possible de l'extrémité postérieure de ceux-ci afin que le joueur puisse bénéficier d'un effet de levier, exploiter au mieux toute la hauteur du dispositif et enfin pour ne pas être gêné par la partie postérieure. On entend par partie postérieure du dispositif, celle qui se trouve le plus près du corps du joueur lorsque, ce dernier tient le propulseur tendu horizontalement devant lui, les manches supports orientés vers l'avant, en prolongement de ses bras tendus. La partie antérieure, étant alors celle qui se trouve la plus éloignée vers l'avant. La hauteur du propulseur serait, à titre indicatif, voisine de la longueur d'une raquette de tennis, variant bien entendu suivant les catégories des sportifs. Une pareille hauteur de la surface souple et des manches-supports permet d'optimiser les effet du dispositif car elle le dote d'une grande surface de propulsion, ce qui facilite la réception du projectile, son rattrapage à une volée basse, ou un peu éloignée, ainsi que son ramassage au sol, sans trop se baisser ou fléchir le genou. Alors on ramène tout simplement le projectile sur la surface souple, dont la partie avant touche le sol, en se servant de l'extrémité antérieure d'un manche-support.The present invention therefore aims to remedy these drawbacks. To achieve this objective, the device according to the invention consists of a flexible surface, substantially in the form of a quadrilateral, preferably in a net-like structure, limiting air resistance as much as possible. Said flexible surface is connected to two lateral supports, constituting two handles, substantially rigid, so as to obtain on each side a large opening, between a flexible edge of the propulsion surface and a rigid support handle. Said large lateral openings, intended to facilitate gripping of the device, allow the player's hands to be offset relative to the middle of the support sleeves and, to be as close as possible to the rear end of the latter so that the player can benefit from a leverage effect, make the most of the entire height of the device and finally so as not to be hampered by the rear part. We hear by rear part of the device, that which is closest to the player's body when, the latter holds the thruster stretched horizontally in front of him, the support sleeves facing forward, in extension of his outstretched arms. The anterior part, then being that which is furthest forward. The height of the thruster would be, as an indication, close to the length of a tennis racket, varying of course according to the categories of athletes. Such a height of the flexible surface and of the support handles makes it possible to optimize the effect of the device because it endows it with a large propelling surface, which facilitates the reception of the projectile, its catching up with a low flight, or a little distant, as well as its pickup on the ground, without bending down too much or bending the knee. So we simply bring the projectile back onto the flexible surface, the front part of which touches the ground, using the front end of a support handle.
L'on reçoit le projectile sur la surface souple, relâchée par le rapproche¬ ment d'au moins un manche-support de l'autre, et on le renvoie par une extension rapide de la surface souple, en écartant brusquement, au moins un manche-support de l'autre. La Fig. 1 montre le dispositif tendu, le schéma de la Fig. 2 le montre relâché.The projectile is received on the flexible surface, released by the approximation of at least one support handle to the other, and it is returned by a rapid extension of the flexible surface, abruptly discarding, at least one support handle on the other. Fig. 1 shows the tensioned device, the diagram in FIG. 2 shows it released.
Ce dispositif, est apte à lancer tout projectile adapté, telle une petite balle mais, n'étant pas heurté par une surface dure, le joueur risquerait de se sentir privé de l'agrément que lui donne le "claquement", qui rythme le jeu, tel par exemple lors d'une partie de tennis. Pour pallier à cette lacune, l'on a adapté au propulseur un accessoire volant original qui, justement, non seulement ne prive pas le joueur du plaisir que lui procure le "claquement" qui rythme le jeu, mais il est amusant et agréable à voir voler. Ce volant, est formé d'une masse d'inertie reliée à une partie souple, de très faible poids et épaisseur, constituant "un ralentisseur". Pour assembler ces deux parties, la masse d'inertie est munie d'un "passant", faisant fonction de "chas", qui sert à faire passer et fixer "le ralentisseur". Ce dernier est constitué d'une bande souple, longue et étroite, en tissu ou en plastique, très fin et très léger. Ce "ralentisseur" alors, non seulement produit un "claquement" à la manière d'un fouet par son renvoi brusque, ou un chuintement par son frottement à l'air rythmant le jeu, mais il flotte et ondoie dans l'air ce qui rend le projectile amusant et agréable à regarder.This device is capable of launching any suitable projectile, such as a small ball but, not being struck by a hard surface, the player would risk feeling deprived of the pleasure that the "click" gives him, which punctuates the game. , such as during a game of tennis. To make up for this shortcoming, an original flying accessory has been adapted to the propellant which, in fact, not only does not deprive the player of the pleasure which the "snap" which gives them rhythm gives them, but it is fun and pleasant to see steal. This flywheel is formed by a mass of inertia connected to a flexible part, of very low weight and thickness, constituting "a retarder". To assemble these two parts, the mass of inertia is provided with a "passer", acting as "chas", which is used to pass and fix "the retarder". The latter consists of a flexible, long and narrow strip, made of fabric or plastic, very thin and very light. This "retarder" then, not only produces a "snap" like a whip by its sudden return, or a hissing by its friction in the air punctuating the game, but it floats and undulates in the air which makes the projectile fun and pleasant to watch.
Les dessins ci-annexés illustrent à titre d'exemple, le propulseur et son accessoire volant, lequel peut être encore adapté à d'autres dispositifs de frappe, telle une raquette, mais il est alors plus fragile. Ledit propulseur est composé, selon la Fig 1 d'une surface souple de propulsion 1 en forme de quadrilatère, en structure de type filet, dont les quatre côtés ont été renforcés par une bande mince souple et solide. Ladite surface souple est reliée, en enserrant par quatre prolongements 5' de ses sommets, des gorges 6 situées aux quatre extrémités de deux manches- supports 2 qui pivotent, s'étendant sur toute la hauteur ou largeur de ladite partie souple. Ainsi, obtient-on de chaque côté, une grande ouverture 3 entre un bord souple 4 de la surface de propulsion et le manche-support rigide 2. Ces deux grandes ouvertures 3 permettent aux mains du joueur d'être décalées par rapport au milieu 2' desdits manches-supports et de se trouver le plus près possible de leur extrémité postérieure. Des boucles (ou griffes) coulissantes 7 permettent au joueur de régler à sa guise la longueur de chacun des deux bords souples 5,5' antérieur ou postérieur. Des "coulants" 8 réalisés de préférence en matière élastique permettent alors de maintenir les bouts libres des prolongements 5' et de les empêcher de pendre.The accompanying drawings illustrate by way of example, the propellant and its flying accessory, which can be further adapted to other striking devices, such as a racket, but it is then more fragile. Said propellant is composed, according to Fig 1 of a flexible propulsion surface 1 in the form of a quadrilateral, in net-like structure, the four sides of which have been reinforced by a thin flexible and solid strip. Said flexible surface is connected, by enclosing by four extensions 5 'of its vertices, grooves 6 located at the four ends of two sleeve-supports 2 which pivot, extending over the entire height or width of said flexible part. Thus, we obtain on each side, a large opening 3 between a flexible edge 4 of the propulsion surface and the rigid support handle 2. These two large openings 3 allow the player's hands to be offset from the middle 2 'of said support handles and to be as close as possible to their rear end. Sliding loops (or claws) 7 allow the player to adjust as desired the length of each of the two flexible edges 5.5 'anterior or posterior. "Runners" 8 preferably made of elastic material then keep the free ends of the extensions 5 'and prevent them from hanging.
Lesdits prolongements 5' peuvent faire partie d'un renfort souple des bords de la surface de propulsion comme le montre la Fig. 1. Cependant, chaque prolongement 5' peut être réalisé en un élément à part, sous forme de bande ou de cordon. Il peut avoir, par exemple, la forme d'un lacet 5" circulaire, mais étiré, dont les deux bouts se transforment facilement en deux nœuds coulants comme le montre la Fig. 4. L'un de ces deux nœuds coulants enlace la surface souple à l'un de ses sommets, tandis que l'autre vient enserrer l'une des dites gorges situées aux extrémités des manches-supports. Les sommets de ladite surface souple, sont alors plus épais, ou munis d'un élément faisant fonction de saillant, pour une meilleure fixation du nœud coulant. Ce dernier peut également enserrer la surface souple, à travers la maille du sommet, ou à travers un œillet posé à cet effet. Ce mode de réalisation, avec des prolongements 5" en éléments à part, semble très simple, pratique et économique, puisqu'il permet leur simple remplacement en cas d'usure. Le joueur peut en disposer en différentes longueurs, afin de pouvoir modifier à sa guise, selon son confort personnel, les dimensions des bords souples 5,5' antérieur ou postérieur. Bien entendu différentes méthodes et matières permettent la fixation des prolongements dits en éléments à part. Aussi, divers procédés permettent-ils le réglage de leur longueur, sans pour autant changer en rien le principe de l'invention.Said extensions 5 ′ may be part of a flexible reinforcement of the edges of the propulsion surface as shown in FIG. 1. However, each extension 5 ′ can be produced in a separate element, in the form of a strip or a cord. It can have, for example, the shape of a circular but stretched 5 "lace, the two ends of which easily transform into two slip knots as shown in Fig. 4. One of these two slip knots wraps around the surface flexible at one of its tops, while the other encloses one of said grooves located at the ends of the support handles. The tops of said flexible surface are then thicker, or provided with a function element protruding, for a better fixation of the slip knot. The latter can also grip the flexible surface, through the mesh of the top, or through an eyelet laid for this purpose. This embodiment, with 5 "extensions in elements to hand, seems very simple, practical and economical, since it allows their simple replacement in case of wear. The player can have them in different lengths, in order to be able to modify as he pleases, according to his personal comfort, the dimensions of the flexible edges 5,5 ′ anterior or posterior. Of course different methods and materials allow the attachment of so-called extensions in separate elements. Also, various methods allow the adjustment of their length, without in any way changing the principle of the invention.
Selon des modes particuliers de réalisation : — Le bord souple postérieur 5,5' n'a pas la même longueur que le bord souple antérieur 5,5'. — La distance séparant les extrémités d'attaches, qui correspondent aux gorges 6 sur un même manche-support, est légèrement supérieure à la hauteur des bords souples latéraux 4, de la surface de propulsion 1, ce qui optimise encore sa tension.According to particular embodiments: - The posterior flexible edge 5.5 ′ does not have the same length as the anterior flexible edge 5.5 ′. - The distance between the ends of the fasteners, which correspond to the grooves 6 on the same support handle, is slightly greater than the height of the flexible lateral edges 4, of the propulsion surface 1, which further optimizes its tension.
— Les manches-supports sont en structure télescopique, rendant ainsi le dispositif moins encombrant à ranger. Dans certaines formes de réalisation cette structure permet d'ajuster la longueur des manches-supports, ou encore d'alléger le dispositif quant la partie antérieure des manches-supports est celle qui s'emboîte dans la partie postérieure.- The support handles are in telescopic structure, thus making the device less bulky to store. In certain embodiments, this structure makes it possible to adjust the length of the support handles, or even to lighten the device when the front part of the support handles is that which fits into the rear part.
— L'un desdits prolongements 5' ou 5" au moins est en matière élastique, ce qui peut éventuellement amortir le choc d'une extension trop brusque, mais limite la force d'expulsion du projectile.- One of said extensions 5 'or 5 "at least is made of elastic material, which can possibly absorb the shock of an excessively sudden extension, but limits the force of expulsion of the projectile.
Afin de donner un exemple de réalisation du projectile la Fig. 3 montre une balle 10 munie d'un "passant" 20 ancré dans ladite balle, faisant fonction de "chas" par où l'on a fait passer et fixer une souple, longue et étroite bande pliée en deux (en tissu ou en plastique) de très faible poids et épaisseur, formant un "ralentisseur" 30. Ce mode de réalisation permet de remplacer facilement la partie détériorée.In order to give an example of an embodiment of the projectile, FIG. 3 shows a ball 10 provided with a "passer" 20 anchored in said ball, acting as a "chas" through which a flexible, long and narrow strip folded in half (made of fabric or plastic) has been passed and fixed ) of very low weight and thickness, forming a "retarder" 30. This embodiment makes it easy to replace the damaged part.
Selon d'autres modes de réalisation :According to other embodiments:
— La masse d'inertie 10' est constituée d'un ou de plusieurs anneaux solidaires qui se croisent, par exemple au niveau d'un diamètre comme le montre la Fig. 5. Le ralentisseur est alors fixé directement sur le périmètre de l'un des anneaux, faisant alors fonction du "passant", par exemple grâce à un nœud coulant.- The inertial mass 10 'consists of one or more integral rings which intersect, for example at the level of a diameter as shown in FIG. 5. The retarder is then fixed directly on the perimeter of one of the rings, then acting as a "passer-by", for example by means of a slip knot.
— Le "passant" est réalisé dans une matière élastique afin de mieux serrer le "ralentisseur".- The "passer" is made of an elastic material to better tighten the "retarder".
— Le ralentisseur, avant d'être fixé, est une surface plate ayant différentes formes et dimensions.- The retarder, before being fixed, is a flat surface with different shapes and dimensions.
— Un deuxième "passant" indépendant, peut encore réunir le "ralentisseur" au "passant" ancré dans la masse d'inertie.
