Definitions

  • the invention relates to a trophy comprising a first trophy part and a second trophy part, and a coupling whereby the first trophy part and the second trophy part are coupled to each other.
  • the invention further relates to an adapter part whereby the first trophy part and the second trophy part can be coupled to each other.
  • a trophy is traditionally assembled from a base and one or more trophy parts connected thereto, which are mutually connected with a screw thread connection. Although successive trophy parts can in each case be mutually connected using separate screw thread connections, in such situations a construction is often opted for wherein a rod provided with screw thread extends through a number of successive trophy parts.
  • the conservative trophy market is very attached to such screw thread connections which, in addition to the advantage of providing a very reliable connection, also have several significant drawbacks.
  • a very important drawback is that such screw thread connections are labour-intensive. During assembly a nut is twisted onto a rod provided with screw thread, usually a bolt, until this nut clamps the different parts of the trophy relative to each other. Fastening of the nut creates a relative rotation force between the trophy parts, which may displace the trophy parts relative to each other.
  • the relative orientation of successive trophy parts is generally critical, especially when a continuous decoration or print is present.
  • the invention now has for its object to provide a trophy of the above described type, wherein said drawbacks do not occur, or at least do so to lesser extent.
  • the trophy according to the invention comprises: a first trophy part, a second trophy part, a coupling whereby the first trophy part and the second trophy part can be coupled to each other, wherein the coupling comprises a rapid-action coupling which lacks a screw thread, and wherein the coupling further comprises a screw thread connection whereby the first trophy part and the second trophy part can be coupled to each other.
  • the trophy thus comprises a coupling whereby the first trophy part and the second trophy part can be coupled to each other, wherein the coupling comprises on the one hand a rapid-action coupling which lacks a screw thread and the coupling on the other hand further comprises a screw thread connection whereby the first trophy part and the second trophy part can be coupled to each other.
  • the screw thread connection forms part of the coupling between the first trophy part and the second trophy part and thus forms an additional coupling to the rapid-action coupling.
  • the trophy additionally comprises a conventional screw thread connection, this can if desired be utilized in addition to the rapid-action coupling to couple the first and the second trophy part.
  • the first trophy part and/or the second trophy part can further be provided with a screw thread on which can engage a nut which is configured to function as locking nut for the rapid-action coupling. If a conventional screw thread connection is present, a user can thereby of course connect the first trophy part and the second trophy part as desired.
  • the trophy parts can for instance be connected to a conventional base, which is not configured to engage with a rapid-action coupling according to the invention.
  • the invention provides on the one hand a rapid-action coupling whereby a desired relative orientation of the trophy parts can be ensured, so that a continuous print can for instance be aligned over multiple trophy parts.
  • the relative orientation of successive trophy parts is generally critical, especially when a continuous decoration or print is present.
  • the screw thread connection for instance in the embodiment of a bolt-nut connection, provides on the other hand an additional locking of the trophy.
  • the rapid-action coupling in turn prevents a relative rotation force, which is created between the trophy parts during tightening of the nut, from being able to displace the trophy parts relative to each other.
  • a rapid-action coupling and a conventional screw thread connection can be applied simultaneously in the trophy according to the invention.
  • This provides for respectively a good mutual alignment of the trophy parts and a reliable mutual connection between the trophy parts.
  • the trophy parts can be coupled both by the rapid-action coupling and by the screw thread connection, which guarantees a dependable coupling.
  • the screw thread connection then forms as it were a locking for the rapid-action coupling.
  • the coupling comprises both a rapid-action coupling and a screw thread connection whereby the first trophy part and the second trophy part can be coupled. It is noted that, although the two can be applied simultaneously, as elucidated above, this is of course not always necessary. Both types of coupling, i.e. rapid-action coupling and screw thread connection, are however always available.
  • the trophy according to the invention gives the user multiple options for effecting a coupling between the first trophy part and the second trophy part: - simultaneously applying a rapid-action coupling and a screw thread connection;
  • the second trophy part which also forms the superstructure, comprises the screw thread connection.
  • figurines as superstructure, with a rapid-action coupling and a screw thread connection they can be coupled both to a conventional base and to a base provided with a corresponding rapid-action coupling.
  • Figure 1 is a perspective view of a trophy according to the invention
  • Figure 2 is an exploded perspective view of the trophy according to figure 1 ;
  • Figure 3 is a perspective bottom view of a second trophy part of the trophy shown in figures 1 and 2;
  • Figures 4 and 5 are perspective views of respectively an exploded and an assembled state of a second trophy part with an adapter according to a first preferred embodiment of the adapter;
  • Figures 6 and 7 are perspective views of respectively an exploded and an assembled state of a second trophy part with an adapter according to a second preferred embodiment of the adapter.
  • Figures 8 and 9 are perspective views of an assembled and exploded state of a trophy according to a further preferred embodiment, wherein a coupling part of the rapid-action coupling can be fixed to the first and to the second trophy part using an arresting element;
  • Figures 10 and 11 show an assembled and exploded state of a trophy part (dish part) with an arresting element according to a first embodiment
  • Figure 12 shows an exploded state of a trophy part (dish part) with an arresting element according to a second embodiment
  • Figure 13 is a cross-sectional view in which a coupling part of the rapid-action coupling can be fixed to a first trophy part using an arresting element.
  • Trophy 1 comprises a first trophy part 10 and a second trophy part 20, wherein first trophy part 10 forms in the shown embodiment a base 12 and second trophy part 20 forms a superstructure 22.
  • superstructure 22 can depict for instance a number, a player, a characteristic of a game, or another figure.
  • Trophy 1 further comprises a rapid-action coupling 30 whereby first trophy part 10, i.e. base 12, and second trophy part 20, i.e. superstructure 22, can be mutually coupled. Applying a rapid-action coupling 30 makes assembly of such a trophy 1 less labour-intensive than when the different trophy parts 10, 20 are mutually connected using a screw thread connection.
  • second trophy part 20 is assembled from a foot part 26 and one superstructure part 24. It is however likewise possible to envisage that in a further preferred embodiment (not shown) second trophy part 10 comprises at least two superstructure parts 24 in addition to a foot part 26, wherein provided between superstructure parts 24 is a further rapid-action coupling (not shown) whereby superstructure parts 24 can be coupled. It is noted that such a further rapid-action coupling can be constructed in the same way as rapid-action coupling 30.
  • first trophy part 10 and/or second trophy part 20 can further be provided with a (conventional) screw thread 4 on which a nut 6 can engage.
  • Screw thread 4 can for instance form part of a bolt.
  • Such a bolt can be received in a slot 48.
  • a chamber can be formed in which a head of a bolt can be received, wherein the form of the chamber preferably prevents rotation of the bolt head in this chamber.
  • Nut 6 can be employed as locking nut for rapid-action coupling 30 in cases where the user requires an extra reliable connection.
  • Screw thread 4 is in that case engaged by a nut 6 of a coupling part lying opposite.
  • the (conventional) screw thread 4 can also be used when a connection has to be effected to a conventional base which lacks measures for co-action with rapid-action coupling 30 according to the invention.
  • rapid-action coupling 30 is provided in addition to rapid-action coupling 30, rapid-action coupling 30 and/or the further rapid-action coupling and screw thread 4 are arranged substantially concentrically relative to each other.
  • rapid-action coupling 30 and/or the further rapid- action coupling comprises two co-acting coupling parts 34, 44, wherein a first coupling part 34 corresponds to first trophy part 10 and wherein a second coupling part 44 corresponds to second trophy part 20.
  • first coupling part 34 corresponds to first trophy part 10
  • second coupling part 44 corresponds to second trophy part 20.
  • a stop 38 is provided which limits the relative rotation of the two co-acting coupling parts 34, 44 in the coupling position, this ensuring a desired alignment of the different trophy parts 10, 20 (figure 2).
  • nut 6 can if desired be employed as locking nut for rapid-action coupling 30, and the screw connection preferably has a screw thread which produces a rotation force in the direction of stop 38 during tightening, so that the coupling position remains secured during tightening of nut 6.
  • the rapid-action coupling comprises a bayonet closure 32.
  • a bayonet closure 32 can be assembled in very simple and rapid manner and can likewise provide a desired alignment. Such a bayonet closure can likewise be applied for the further rapid-action coupling (not shown).
  • First coupling part 34 comprises a recess 36 and the second coupling part comprises one or more than one protruding part 46 which engages with recess 36 of first coupling part 34.
  • a contact surface 40 of recess 36 of first coupling part 34 with the one or more than one protruding part 46 of second coupling part 44 is provided with a protrusion 42, wherein the orientation of the two co- acting coupling parts 34, 44 in the coupling position is preserved.
  • the rapid-action coupling and/or the further rapid-action coupling are manufactured from plastic, and are preferably injection-moulded parts.
  • rapid-action coupling 30 is integrated with first trophy part 10 and with second trophy part 20.
  • the further rapid-action coupling (not shown) can be integrated with at least two superstructure parts of second trophy part 20.
  • FIGS 4-7 show two embodiments of an adapter part 60, 70.
  • Such adapter parts 60, 70 enable a rapid-action coupling 30 according to the invention to be applied with already existing second trophy parts 20. This means that the current moulds can continue to be used and that it is not per se necessary to make a new mould in order to enable application of a rapid-action coupling 30 according to the invention.
  • Rapid-action coupling 30 and/or the further rapid-action coupling can thus be provided with an adapter part 60, 70 which is independent of first trophy part 10 and second trophy part 20, and wherein adapter part 60, 70 engages with screw thread 4 of first trophy part 10 and/or second trophy part 20.
  • Figures 4 and 5 show a preferred embodiment of an annular adapter part 60 which is provided with a recess 62 whereby it is displaceable over screw thread 4.
  • annular adapter part 60 can be slid over screw thread 4 in longitudinal direction. Sliding arrangement in this manner is less labour-intensive than if annular adapter part 60 were to be screwed over screw thread 4, which can of course also be possible according to an alternative embodiment.
  • resilient slats 64 which extend inward from the inner diameter of recess 62 and into the pitch of screw thread 4 an axial locking can be obtained which prevents an undesired axial displacement of adapter part 60 along screw thread 4.
  • annular adapter part 60 is provided with two protruding parts 66 which can fulfil the function of the protruding parts 46 of first coupling part 34 of rapid-action coupling 30.
  • adapter part 60 is provided with a rotation limiting protrusion 68, which in assembled state (figure 5) engages with recess 48. This ensures the orientation of protruding parts 66 relative to second trophy part 20.
  • a horseshoe-shaped adapter part 70 shown in figures 6 and 7 can be applied instead of the annular adapter part 60 shown in figures 4 and 5.
  • the horseshoe-shaped adapter part 70 is distinguished from annular adapter part 60 by the presence of a slot 72. Because this slot 72 extends in radial direction from the peripheral wall and to drilled hole 62, horseshoe-shaped adapter part 70 can be slid over screw thread 4 in radial direction.
  • the legs of the horseshoe shape are preferably resilient to some extent, and clamp screw thread 4.
  • the slats arranged in drilled hole 62 prevent an axial shift of the adapter part along screw thread 4.
  • the other measures of horseshoe-shaped adapter part 70 are identical to annular adapter part 60, as a result of which the description thereof is not repeated here.
  • the protruding parts 46, 66 of rapid-action coupling 30 can alternatively (not shown) be distributed non-uniformly over the periphery, which makes the coupling between first trophy part 10 and second trophy part 20 possible in only a single position, this securing a desired relative orientation of these trophy parts 10, 20.
  • a coupling part 34, 44 of rapid-action coupling 30 can be fixed to first trophy part 10 or second trophy part 20 using an arresting element 76.
  • a rapid-action coupling 30, such as a bayonet closure 32, consists of two co- acting coupling parts 34, 44.
  • these coupling parts 34, 44 of rapid-action coupling 30 are in each case shown integrated with a trophy part 10, 20. Arranging a coupling part 34, 44 of rapid-action coupling 30 on a trophy part 10, 20 using an arresting element 76 makes it possible to also equip conventional trophy parts with a coupling part 34, 44 of a rapid-action coupling 30.
  • a further advantage is that a trophy part 10, 20 of a material which is difficult to process can also be provided with a coupling part 34, 44 of a rapid-action coupling 30 in simple manner.
  • the choice is thus often made, particularly for the European market, to embody base 12 from a hard material which is difficult process, including types of rock such as marble or granite.
  • a base 12 of glass or wood is also possible.
