Description
BATTOIR POUR JEU DE BALLES BATTERY FOR BALL GAMES
La présente invention concerne un battoir susceptible d'être enfilé sur une main d'un joueur pour lui permettre de jouer de la même manière qu'au tennis. Il s'applique donc à un nouveau jeu de balles couramment dénommé hand tennis. Le jeu de balles dans lequel le joueur frappe la balle à l'aide d'un battoir qui lui est fixé à la main est un dérivé du jeu de paume. On connaît par le document FR.2.437.848 un battoir spécialement conçu pour ce type de jeu. Il comprend deux plaques de percussion, qui sont séparées l'une de l'autre par un intervalle assez grand pour loger une main et qui supportent chacune un ensemble qui est destiné à les unir à cette main. Dans ce document, l'ensemble destiné à unir les deux plaques de percussion à la main comprend un lien, flexible ou rigide, qui relie l'une à l'autre les deux plaques en leur milieu et qui est destiné à être saisi par le doigt du joueur. Eventuellement le battoir comporte également un fourreau qui est assujetti aux deux plaques et qui enveloppe la main du joueur, les deux dites plaques pouvant être intégrées dans ledit fourreau.The present invention relates to a beater capable of being threaded on a hand of a player to allow him to play the same way as tennis. It therefore applies to a new game of balls commonly referred to as hand tennis. The game of balls in which the player strikes the ball with the help of a beater which is fixed to him by hand is a derivative of the game of palm. Document FR.2.437.848 discloses a beater specially designed for this type of game. It comprises two percussion plates, which are separated from each other by an interval large enough to house one hand and which support each one. a set that is meant to unite them to this hand. In this document, the assembly intended to join the two percussion plates by hand comprises a link, flexible or rigid, which connects the two plates in their middle and which is intended to be grasped by the player's finger. Optionally, the beater also comprises a sheath which is secured to the two plates and which envelops the player's hand, both said plates being able to be integrated in said sheath.
Un autre mode de réalisation a été proposé par le document FR.2.696.352. Dans ce document, le battoir est formé de deux éléments de forme générale plate, qui sont fixés l'un à l'autre le long de leur pourtour à l'exception d'une ouverture d'introduction de la main, chaque élément étant plus rigide dans une partie centrale destinée à former une surface de percussion sensiblement plane qu'à proximité de son pourtour. Lorsque le joueur veut introduire la main dans l'ouverture, il doit nécessairement écarter l'un de l'autre les deux éléments de forme aplatie pour dégager un intervalle d'introduction et faire avancer en force la main dans cet intervalle de manière à déformer les pourtours moins rigides des deux éléments.Another embodiment has been proposed by the document FR.2.696.352. In this document, the beater is formed of two elements of generally flat shape, which are fixed to each other along their periphery with the exception of an opening of introduction of the hand, each element being more rigid in a central portion for forming a substantially flat impact surface that near its periphery. When the player wants to introduce the hand into the opening, he must necessarily move the two flattened elements apart from each other in order to clear an insertion interval and to make the hand advance in this interval so as to deform the less rigid edges of the two elements.
Le but de la présente invention est de proposer un battoir de structure différente, qui soit d'une conception et d'une fabrication simples, et également qui permette une introduction de la main facilitée par rapport au mode de réalisation du document FR.2.696.352.
II s'agit d'un battoir pour jeu de balles qui comprend, de manière connue, deux plaques de frappe, entre lesquelles est aménagé un logement pour une main du joueur.The object of the present invention is to provide a beater of different structure, which is of a simple design and manufacture, and also allows a facilitated hand introduction compared to the embodiment of the document FR.2.696. 352. It is a ball game beater that includes, in known manner, two striking plates, between which is arranged a housing for a player's hand.
De manière caractéristique, selon la présente invention, les deux plaques sont reliées l'une à l'autre , exception faite d'une ouverture pour le passage de la main : a) par un prolongement coudé, flexible, définissant une charnière rectiligne de liaison et b) par au moins un élément de liaison disposé sur la périphérie des deux plaques, en dehors de l'ouverture de la charnière de liaison.Typically, according to the present invention, the two plates are connected to each other, with the exception of an opening for the passage of the hand: a) by a bent extension, flexible, defining a rectilinear connecting hinge and b) by at least one connecting element disposed on the periphery of the two plates, outside the opening of the connecting hinge.
Le prolongement coudé flexible, permet d'une part de définir, dès l'origine, un certain écartement entre les deux plaques de frappe, écartement qui facilite le passage de la main lors de la mise en place du battoir et d'autre part de créer un effet charnière localisé qui facilite l'écartement des deux plaques l'une de l'autre pour l'introduction de la main.The flexible elbow extension, on the one hand to define, from the outset, a certain spacing between the two striking plates, spacing that facilitates the passage of the hand during the establishment of the beater and secondly create a localized hinge effect that facilitates the spacing of the two plates from one another for the introduction of the hand.
Selon une variante de réalisation, les deux plaques et le prolongement coudé flexible sont monoblocs, étant réalisées par moulage d'une matière plastique. Il n'y a donc pas , dans ce cas, d'étape complémentaire pour la fixation l'une à l'autre des deux plaques, cette fixation étant d'emblée réalisée lors du moulage d'une seule pièce des deux plaques et du prolongement flexible coudé qui les relie.According to an alternative embodiment, the two plates and the flexible elbow extension are in one piece, being made by molding a plastic material. In this case, therefore, there is no additional step for fastening the two plates to one another, this fastening being made immediately during the molding of one piece of the two plates and the flexible elbow extension that connects them.
L'épaisseur moyenne du prolongement coudé est égale ou éventuellement inférieure à celle de chacune des deux plaques de frappe.The average thickness of the elbow extension is equal to or possibly less than that of each of the two striking plates.
Dans une variante de réalisation, le prolongement coudé est disposé latéralement par rapport à l'ouverture, pour le passage de la main. Ce prolongement peut notamment délimiter l'ouverture sur l'un de ses deux côtés.In an alternative embodiment, the elbow extension is disposed laterally relative to the opening, for the passage of the hand. This extension may in particular delimit the opening on one of its two sides.
Eventuellement dans une autre variante de réalisation, le prolongement coudé peut se trouver à l'opposé de l'ouverture pour le passage de la main.Optionally in another embodiment, the elbow extension may be opposite the opening for the passage of the hand.
Selon une variante de réalisation, l'élément de liaison qui est disposé sur la périphérie des deux plaques, en dehors de l'ouverture et de la charnière de liaison, est un élément élastique. Cet élément élastique doit permettre, grâce à
son élasticité, d'écarter les deux plaques l'une de l'autre lors de l'introduction de la main et de créer une force de contention suffisante pour le maintien du battoir sur les deux faces de la main, une fois cette introduction réalisée.According to an alternative embodiment, the connecting element which is disposed on the periphery of the two plates, outside the opening and the connecting hinge, is an elastic element. This elastic element must, thanks to its elasticity, to separate the two plates from each other during the introduction of the hand and to create a sufficient force of restraint for the maintenance of the beater on both sides of the hand, once this introduction carried out .
Dans une variante de réalisation, au moins un élément de liaison est une sangle, disposée à proximité de l'ouverture pour le passage de la main, sangle de liaison permettant l'ajustement du serrage des deux plaques sur la main. Cette disposition particulière est destinée à permettre l'adaptation d'un même battoir pour des mains de joueurs de conformations différentes, notamment en ce qui concerne l'épaisseur de la main au niveau de la paume. De préférence, chacune des deux plaques comporte, pour chaque élément de liaison, à proximité de son bord périphérique, un trou débouchant permettant le passage dudit élément de liaison. S'agissant d'un élément élastique, celui-ci sera avantageusement constitué sous la forme d'une boucle fermée passant dans les deux trous débouchants en vis-à-vis des deux plaques. S'agissant d'une sangle de réglage, l'une des extrémités de la sangle sera fixée rigidement, par exemple par couture, à une plaque au niveau dudit trou débouchant, tandis que l'autre extrémité pourra être enfilée dans le trou débouchant de l'autre plaque et être bloquée en position grâce à la présence d'éléments à crochets et d'éléments à boucles disposés successivement sur la longueur de la sangle.In an alternative embodiment, at least one connecting element is a strap, disposed near the opening for the passage of the hand, connecting strap for adjusting the clamping of the two plates on the hand. This particular provision is intended to allow the adaptation of the same beater for the hands of players of different conformations, particularly with regard to the thickness of the hand at the palm. Preferably, each of the two plates comprises, for each connecting element, near its peripheral edge, a through hole allowing passage of said connecting element. As it is an elastic element, it will advantageously be in the form of a closed loop passing through the two through holes vis-à-vis the two plates. In the case of an adjustment strap, one of the ends of the strap will be fixed rigidly, for example by stitching, to a plate at the said through hole, while the other end may be threaded into the through hole of the other plate and be locked in position by the presence of hook elements and loop elements arranged successively along the length of the strap.
Selon une variante de réalisation, le battoir comporte au moins une couche de mousse sur la face intérieure de chaque plaque et éventuellement sur la face intérieure du prolongement coudé. Cette couche de mousse a pour but d'assurer un certain confort au joueur, en protégeant les deux faces de la main, d'une part lors du serrage des deux plaques et d'autre part en amortissant les chocs provoqués par la frappe de la balle.According to an alternative embodiment, the beater comprises at least one layer of foam on the inner face of each plate and optionally on the inner face of the elbow extension. This layer of foam is intended to provide some comfort to the player, protecting both sides of the hand, firstly when tightening the two plates and secondly by damping the shocks caused by the striking of the ball.
Avantageusement les deux plaques de frappe du battoir et éventuellement les deux couches de mousse sont percées d'orifices d'aération. Dans un mode préféré de réalisation, le battoir comporte : - de part et d'autre de l'ouverture pour le passage de la main, d'une part un prolongement coudé flexible délimitant une
charnière de liaison d'axe rectiligne et d'autre part une sangle de serrage et dans la zone opposée à l'ouverture, deux éléments élastiques de liaison, distants l'un de l'autre. La présente invention sera mieux comprise à la lecture de la description qui va être faite d'un exemple préféré de réalisation d'un battoir pour jeu de balles dont les deux plaques de frappe sont reliées l'une à l'autre par un prolongement coudé flexible définissant une charnière de liaison rectiligne illustré par le dessin annexé dans lequel : La figure 1 est une vue en perspective du battoir,Advantageously, the two striking plates of the beater and optionally the two layers of foam are pierced with ventilation holes. In a preferred embodiment, the beater comprises: on either side of the opening for the passage of the hand, on the one hand a flexible elbow extension delimiting a rectilinear axis connecting hinge and secondly a clamping strap and in the zone opposite the opening, two elastic connecting elements, spaced apart from each other. The present invention will be better understood on reading the description which will be given of a preferred embodiment of a beater for a set of balls whose two striking plates are connected to one another by an elbow extension. hose defining a straight connecting hinge illustrated by the accompanying drawing in which: Figure 1 is a perspective view of the beater,
La figure 2 est une vue schématique en plan de dessus du battoir de la figure 1,FIG. 2 is a diagrammatic plan view of the beater of FIG. 1,
Les figures 3 et 4 sont des vues schématiques de côté du battoir des figures 1 et 2, respectivement depuis l'ouverture de passage de la ma in pour la figure 3 et depuis la charnière de liaison pour la figure 4.FIGS. 3 and 4 are diagrammatic side views of the beater of FIGS. 1 and 2, respectively from the passage opening of the mast in FIG. 3 and from the connecting hinge for FIG.
Le battoir 1 de la présente invention comporte deux plaques de frappe 2, 3 qui sont séparées l'une de l'autre par un intervalle 4 apte à servir de logement pour la main du joueur. Ces deux plaques 2, 3 sont reliées l'une à l'autre par un prolongement coudé et flexible 5, apte à former une charnière de liaison d'axe XX' rectiligne. Les deux plaques 2 et 3 sont également reliées l'une à l'autre par des éléments de liaison 6, 7 qui sont disposés sur la périphérie 8 des deux plaques, en dehors de la charnière de liaison 5 et d'une zone correspondant à une ouverture 9 pour le passage de la main.The beater 1 of the present invention comprises two striking plates 2, 3 which are separated from each other by an interval 4 adapted to serve as a housing for the player's hand. These two plates 2, 3 are connected to each other by a bent and flexible extension 5, adapted to form a connecting hinge axis XX 'rectilinear. The two plates 2 and 3 are also connected to each other by connecting elements 6, 7 which are arranged on the periphery 8 of the two plates, outside the connecting hinge 5 and a zone corresponding to an opening 9 for the passage of the hand.
Dans l'exemple préféré qui est illustré aux figures, l'ouverture 9 pour le passage de la main est délimitée d'un côté par le prolongement coudé 5, formant charnière de liaison, et de l'autre côté par un élément de liaison 7.In the preferred example which is illustrated in the figures, the opening 9 for the passage of the hand is delimited on one side by the elbow extension 5, forming a connecting hinge, and on the other side by a connecting element 7. .
Cette disposition n'est pas exclusive de la présente invention. L' ouverture 9 pour le passage de la main pourrait également être délimitée de part et d'autre par deux éléments de liaison 6, 7 et le prolongement coudé 5 pourrait être disposé sur la périphérie des deux plaques à l'opposé de cette ouverture 9 pour le passage de la main. Néanmoins le mode de réalisation qui est illustré et qui
va être plus particulièrement décrit ci-après est préféré du fait que la présence du prolongement coudé 5 à proximité immédiate de l'ouverture 9 permet de former un espace permettant l'introduction des doigts de la main, sans l'obligation d'écarter les deux plaques 2, 3 l'une de l'autre. Le prolongement coudé 5 a une double fonction. Il permet de délimiter, entre les deux plaques 2, 3, un intervalle 4 pour le passage de la main. De plus étant par nature flexible, il permet aux deux plaques 2, 3 de s'écarter l'une de l'autre lors de cette introduction, écartement qui est fonction de la conformation de la main du joueur, notamment son épaisseur au niveau de la paume.This provision is not exclusive of the present invention. The opening 9 for the passage of the hand could also be delimited on both sides by two connecting elements 6, 7 and the elbow extension 5 could be arranged on the periphery of the two plates opposite this opening 9 for the passage of the hand. Nevertheless the embodiment which is illustrated and which is more particularly described below is preferred because the presence of the bent extension 5 in the immediate vicinity of the opening 9 allows to form a space for the introduction of the fingers of the hand, without the obligation to dismiss the two plates 2, 3 from each other. The elbow extension 5 has a dual function. It allows delimiting, between the two plates 2, 3, an interval 4 for the passage of the hand. Moreover being by nature flexible, it allows the two plates 2, 3 to deviate from each other during this introduction, which is a function of the conformation of the player's hand, including its thickness at the level of the Palm.
Avantageusement, les deux plaques 2, 3 et le prolongement coudé 5 sont réalisés, d'une seule pièce, par moulage d'un matériau plastique.Advantageously, the two plates 2, 3 and the bent extension 5 are made in one piece, by molding a plastic material.
L'épaisseur E5 du prolongement coudé 5 au niveau de son axe central XX' est égale ou éventuellement inférieure à l'épaisseur E3 des deux plaques de frappe 2, 3.The thickness E 5 of the bent extension 5 at its central axis XX 'is equal to or less than the thickness E 3 of the two striking plates 2, 3.
Les éléments de liaison 6, 7 ont pour fonction d'appliquer les deux plaques 2, 3 contre la main du joueur après introduction de celle-ci dans l'intervalle 4. Il y a, dans l'exemple illustré, deux types d'élément de liaison. Le premier type d'élément de liaison est référencé 6 sur les figures 1 et 3. Il s'agit d'un élément élastique non réglable par le joueur. Il se présente sous la forme d'un ruban élastique fixé selon le bord périphérique 8 des deux plaques 2, 3. Sur la figure 2 on a représenté, vue de dessus, la plaque 2 dépourvue d'éléments de liaison 6, 7. Cette plaque 2 comporte, répartis selon sa périphérie 8, trois trous débouchants 10 de forme oblongue, disposés en regard de trois trous débouchants de même taille et de même configuration formés dans la seconde plaque de frappe 3. L'élément de liaison 6 du premier type se présente sous la forme d'un ruban élastique, en boucle, passant successivement dans les deux trous débouchants 10 des deux plaques 2 et 3. Ces éléments élastiques du premier type 6 sont visibles sur la figure 3. L'élément de liaison du second type 7 est réglable par le joueur. Dans l'exemple préféré, cet élément de liaison 7 est disposé immédiatement sur le
côté de l'ouverture 9 de passage de la main du joueur. Il se présente sous la forme d'une sangle 11, non élastique, dont une extrémité lia est fixée sur la périphérie 8 de l'une des deux plaques de frappe 3 et dont l'autre extrémité libre llb est passée à travers le trou débouchant oblong 12. Sur la face de la sangle 11 qui est tournée vers l'extérieur du battoir 1 sont disposés successivement deux types d'éléments auto agrippants, à savoir à crochets lie et à boucles Hd. Avant introduction de la main du joueur par l'ouverture 9 dans l'intervalle 4, la sangle 11 est totalement libre se présentant dans la disposition représentée à la figure 1, et les deux plaques 2,3 sont écartées au maximum, ce qui permet au joueur d'introduire la main très facilement au niveau de la zone proche de l'ouverture 9 dans laquelle l'épaisseur de la main est la plus importante. Une fois la main placée en position entre les deux plaques 2 et 3, il suffit au joueur de se saisir de l'extrémité libre Hb de la sangle 11 et de rabattre la portion distale pourvue d'éléments à boucles Hd vers la portion proximale pourvue d'éléments à crochets lie pour effectuer le serrage des deux plaques 2, 3 contre les deux faces de la main et obtenir ainsi le maintien en place efficace du battoir 1.The connecting elements 6, 7 have the function of applying the two plates 2, 3 against the hand of the player after introduction of the latter in the interval 4. There are, in the illustrated example, two types of connecting element. The first type of connecting element is referenced 6 in FIGS. 1 and 3. It is an elastic element that can not be adjusted by the player. It is in the form of an elastic tape attached to the peripheral edge 8 of the two plates 2, 3. In Figure 2 there is shown, from above, the plate 2 devoid of connecting elements 6, 7. This plate 2 comprises, distributed along its periphery 8, three through holes 10 of oblong shape, disposed opposite three through holes of the same size and the same configuration formed in the second strike plate 3. The connecting element 6 of the first type is in the form of an elastic band loop, passing successively in the two through holes 10 of the two plates 2 and 3. These elastic elements of the first type 6 are visible in Figure 3. The connecting element of the second type 7 is adjustable by the player. In the preferred example, this connecting element 7 is disposed immediately on the side of the opening 9 passage of the player's hand. It is in the form of a strap 11, inelastic, one end 11a is fixed on the periphery 8 of one of the two strike plates 3 and the other free end 11b is passed through the hole opening oblong 12. On the face of the strap 11 which is facing the outside of the beater 1 are arranged successively two types of self gripping elements, namely hooks lie and Hd loops. Before introduction of the player's hand through the opening 9 in the gap 4, the strap 11 is completely free in the arrangement shown in FIG. 1, and the two plates 2,3 are spaced apart as far as possible, which allows the player to introduce the hand very easily at the area near the opening 9 in which the thickness of the hand is the largest. Once the hand placed in position between the two plates 2 and 3, it suffices for the player to seize the free end Hb of the strap 11 and fold down the distal portion provided with loop elements Hd to the proximal portion provided with hook elements binds to perform the clamping of the two plates 2, 3 against both sides of the hand and thus obtain the effective retention of the beater 1.
Dans un mode précis et non exclusif de réalisation, chaque plaque de frappe 2, 3 a une configuration globalement circulaire, avec un rayon R faisant de l'ordre de 8 à 10 cm, en fonction de la taille de la main du joueur, et le prolongement coudé 5, formant charnière de liaison d'axe rectiligne XX', à une longueur L de l'ordre de 6 à 8 cm.In a precise and non-exclusive embodiment, each striking plate 2, 3 has a generally circular configuration, with a radius R of the order of 8 to 10 cm, depending on the size of the player's hand, and the elbow extension 5, forming a straight-axis connection hinge XX ', with a length L of the order of 6 to 8 cm.
Sur la figure 4 on a représenté le battoir 1 dans une vue de côté dans laquelle toute la face extérieure du prolongement coudé 5 est parfaitement visible. Ce prolongement coudé 5 n'a pas la même hauteur sur toute sa longueur L. En vue de côté, comme illustré sur la figure 4, ce prolongement coudé 5 a une configuration sensiblement en trapèze isocèle, avec une hauteur Hl selon la petite base du trapèze isocèle qui est tournée vers les doigts de la main qui est inférieur à la hauteur H2 de la grande base du trapèze isocèle qui est tournée vers l'ouverture 9 pour le passage de la main. Cette disposition particulière permet une meilleure adaptation à la conformation de la main,
l'intervalle 4a entre les deux plaques 2, 3 étant plus important du côté du poignet que l'intervalle 4b du côté des doigts, lorsque le battoir 1 est mis en place sur la main du joueur. Il est donc possible d'obtenir une répartition homogène de l'application des deux plaques 2 et 3 sur l'intégralité de la face supérieure et de la face inférieure de la main.In Figure 4 there is shown the beater 1 in a side view in which the entire outer face of the elbow extension 5 is perfectly visible. This elongated extension 5 does not have the same height along its entire length L. In side view, as illustrated in FIG. 4, this elongated extension 5 has a substantially isosceles trapezoidal configuration, with a height H1 according to the small base of the isosceles trapezium which is turned towards the fingers of the hand which is less than the height H2 of the large base of the isosceles trapezium which is turned towards the opening 9 for the passage of the hand. This particular arrangement allows a better adaptation to the conformation of the hand, the interval 4a between the two plates 2, 3 being more important on the wrist side than the interval 4b on the side of the fingers, when the beater 1 is put in place on the player's hand. It is therefore possible to obtain a homogeneous distribution of the application of the two plates 2 and 3 on the whole of the upper face and the lower face of the hand.
Pour un meilleur confort du joueur et également pour permettre un certain amortissement des chocs induits lors de la frappe de la balle, les deux plaques 2, 3 peuvent être recouvertes intérieurement d'une couche de mousse 13, ladite couche pouvant s'étendre également sur la face intérieure du prolongement coudé 5 comme illustré à la figure 3.For a better comfort of the player and also to allow some damping of the shocks induced during the striking of the ball, the two plates 2, 3 may be covered internally with a layer of foam 13, said layer may also extend over the inner face of the elbow extension 5 as illustrated in FIG.
Les deux plaques de frappe 2, 3, de même que la couche de mousse 13 qui peut les recouvrir intérieurement, peuvent également être percées de trous traversants, non représentés sur les figures. La présence de ces trous permet de diminuer la résistance à la pénétration dans l'air du battoir 1 lorsqu'il est déplacé par le joueur lors de la frappe. Elle permet également d'assurer une certaine ventilation de la main.The two striking plates 2, 3, as well as the foam layer 13 which can cover them internally, can also be pierced with through holes, not shown in the figures. The presence of these holes reduces the resistance to penetration into the air of the beater 1 when moved by the player during the strike. It also helps to provide some ventilation of the hand.
De très bons résultats, en terme de rigidité des plaques de frappe et de flexibilité du prolongement coudé, en mettant en oeuvre, comme matière plastique, du polyéthylène haute densité PEHD de dureté 80 shore D, les plaques ayant une épaisseur de l'ordre de 3 mm.
