Abstract

A device for containing and distributing footballs for punts, consisting of a container (1) for a plurality of balls (P) led, due to gravity, through an inclined duct (2) to a distributor (3), consisting of a rotor (4) operated by an electric motor and provided with a cam (5) for operating a lever means (7) so as to determine the pulling of the balls one by one towards the gravity outlet duct (6) where it may be punted.

Description

"A DEVICE FOR CONTAINING AND DISTRIBUTING FOOTBALLS FOR PUNTS"
The present invention concerns a device for containing and distributing footballs for punts.
A device for football training is already known and the patent application relating thereto has already been filed in Italy by the same applicant of the present application and extended at an international level; said device is thought for training athletes in calibrating and repeating in a training and/ or in open air, punts of different power and direction.
Furthermore, said device allows to act on a resting football and therefore it needs to be coupled with a similar device for the training of punts, so as to obtain a complete equipment for the training of footballers.
Above mentioned need is solved by means of the device according to the present invention, consisting of an automatic dispenser of footballs in sequence or, in general, of balls for playing coming from a container and that fall down, possibly from many directions, so as to be punted by the user who may take advantage of said device which forms a new, complete and functional training method. The advantage of the device according to the present invention is evident: as an autonomous training means as well as coupled with above mentioned device for kicking a resting ball.
The present invention will be described more in detail hereinbelow relating to the enclosed drawings in which two embodiments are shown.
Figure 1 shows an axonometric scheme of a device for containing and distributing footballs for punting, according to the present invention.
Figure 2 shows a variant of the device for dispensing balls to be punted, coming from different directions.
The enclosed figures show a device for containing and distributing footballs for punting, consisting of:
- a container 1 for a plurality of footballs P or, in general, of balls for playing of different dimensions according to the needs, and that may lead, due to gravity, said footballs through an inclined duct 2 to the dispenser 3;
- a dispenser 3, containing a rotor 4 operated by an electric motor with variable speed according to the chosen frequency of emission of the footballs, provided with a cam 5 for receiving and pulling the footballs one by one towards the gravity outlet duct 6; - a means 7 for receivig and moving the footballs one by one, consisting of a lever element operated by said cam 5 of the rotor 4 which, during its clockwise rotation determines the lifting of an arm 8 and the following lowering of the back portion 10 with the falling down of a football from said container 1 and the further pulling, due to a return spring 9, at the end of the contact between said cam 5 and said arm 8, of each football P towards the outlet duct, from where it may be punted according to the aim of the present invention.
In the device according to the present invention, the balls P for playing come from one single direction, but the distributor 3' may be realized according to said figure 2 if a more complete and differentiated system is to be obtained, i.e. consisting of two coaxial rotating elements with an electric motor, wherein each element is provided with a housing 11 where each ball P comes from any container 1' through the relative duct 2', and after having performed a rotation of half a revolution, reaches the outlet duct 6', thus increasing the difficulty rate of the punting of balls P falling down from different directions.
In a possible variant, said rotor 4 may rotate clockwise and it may determine the push of portion 10 onto said ball P and its starting off towards the outlet duct 6 by lowering said arm 8 by means of said cam 5, while at the end of the contact of said cam the return spring 9 allows the lowering of said portion 10 and the falling down of the following ball from said container 1.

Claims

1. A device for containing and distributing footballs for punting, characterized in:
- a container (1 ) for a plurality of footballs (P) or, in general, of balls for playing, of different dimensions according to the needs, and that may lead, due to gravity, said footballs through an inclined duct (2) to the dispenser 3);
- a dispenser (3), containing a rotor (4) operated by an electric motor with variable speed according to the chosen frequency of emission of the footballs, provided with a cam (5) for receiving and pulling the footballs one by one towards the gravity outlet duct (6);
- a means ((7) for receivig and moving the footballs one by one, consisting of a lever element operated by said cam (5) of the rotor (4) which, during its clockwise rotation determines the lifting of an arm (8) and the following lowering of the back portion (10) with the falling down of a football from said container (1) and the further pulling, due to a return spring (9), at the end of the contact between said cam (5) and said arm (8), of each football (P) towards the outlet duct, from where it may be punted.
2. A device according to claim 1, characterized in a distributor (3') consisting of two coaxial rotating elements with an electric motor, wherein each element is provided with a housing (11) where each ball (P) comes from any container (!') through the relative duct (2') and after having performed a rotation half a revolution, reaches the outlet duct (6'), thus increasing the difficulty rate of the punting of balls (P) falling down from different directions.
3. A device according to claim 1, characterized in that said rotor (4) may rotates clockwise and it determines the push of said portion (10) onto said ball (P) and its starting off towards the outlet duct (6) by lowering said arm (8) by means of said cam (5), while at the end of the contact of said cam the return spring (9) allows the lowering of said portion (10) and the falling down of the following ball from said container (1).
