DESCRIPCIÓN DESCRIPTION
EQUIPAMIENTO RECOGEPELOTAS PARA PISTAS DEPORTIVAS BALL COLLECTING EQUIPMENT FOR SPORTS COURTS
Campo del invento field of invention
La presente invención consiste en un equipamiento recogepelotas que se ubica a ambos lados o costados de la red principal de una pista deportiva y donde la red principal o divisoria está preferentemente dirigida a deportes de raqueta como el tenis o el pádel. The present invention consists of ball-collecting equipment that is located on both sides of the main net of a sports court and where the main or dividing net is preferably aimed at racket sports such as tennis or paddle tennis.
Este invento permite agilizar y mejorar la práctica deportiva al desarrollar un equipamiento desmontable, ajustable y acoplable a ambos lados de la red divisoria, y por tanto, se trata de un equipamiento reutilizable que tiene como objetivo el recoger y almacenar las pelotas que quedan en dicha red, evitando tener que detener el juego cada vez que una pelota queda en mitad de la pista, y permitiendo su recogida solo en los parones programados del propio juego; y por tanto, el presente invento permite mejorar y agilizar la práctica deportiva por parte de los jugadores y usuarios. This invention makes it possible to speed up and improve the practice of sports by developing a removable, adjustable and attachable equipment on both sides of the dividing net, and therefore, it is a reusable equipment whose objective is to collect and store the balls that remain in said net. network, avoiding having to stop the game every time a ball is left in the middle of the court, and allowing it to be picked up only during scheduled breaks in the game itself; and therefore, the present invention allows players and users to improve and streamline sports practice.
El campo de aplicación del presente invento es el relacionado con la práctica deportiva, de forma preferente el tenis, el pádel u otros deportes de raqueta en los que existe una red divisoria del terreno de juego; y más concretamente, la presente invención se encuadra dentro de los diferentes equipamientos, accesorios o medios que permiten mejorar la práctica de estas disciplinas deportivas. The field of application of the present invention is that related to the practice of sports, preferably tennis, paddle tennis or other racket sports in which there is a net dividing the playing field; and more specifically, the present invention falls within the different equipment, accessories or means that allow improving the practice of these sports disciplines.
Antecedentes del invento Background of the invention
Como es sabido, en determinados deportes se necesita un elemento de separación que divida el juego en al menos dos partes o campos y que permita a los jugadores ubicarse en dichas zonas. Este elemento de separación es esencialmente una red, y esta red es principalmente utilizada, pero no de forma limitante, en deportes de raqueta como el tenis y el pádel. As is known, in certain sports a separation element is needed that divides the game into at least two parts or fields and that allows the players to locate themselves in said areas. This separating element is essentially a net, and this net is mainly used, but not limited to, in racket sports such as tennis and paddle tennis.
En este sentido, se sabe que, a nivel aficionado, los deportistas o usuarios de las pistas se encuentran constantemente con el problema de que las pelotas golpean en la red y vuelven a la zona de juego. Esto hace que la práctica deportiva o bien se interrumpa constantemente para tener que recoger dichas pelotas, lo que hace desconcentrarse a los jugadores y ralentizar el juego, o bien que se practique el deporte con las pelotas en medio de la pista, lo cual entorpece y también desconcentra a los jugadores, incluso supone un riesgo para los jugadores que pueden pisar dichas pelotas y lesionarse. En cualquier caso, este problema hace que baje la calidad y fluidez del juego. In this sense, it is known that, at an amateur level, athletes or court users constantly encounter the problem that the balls hit the net and return to the playing area. This means that sports practice is either constantly interrupted to have to pick up said balls, which makes the players lose concentration and slows down the game, or sports are practiced with the balls in the middle of the court, which hinders and it also deconcentrate the players, it even poses a risk for the players who can step on said balls and injure themselves. In any case, this problem lowers the quality and fluidity of the game.
Para solucionar este problema, en el ámbito profesional y de élite, se cuenta con la participación de personas en al menos un extremo de la red que manualmente recogen las pelotas que quedan en la red o en cualquier lado de la pista. Esta es básicamente la solución que se realiza en los torneos del circuito profesional de tenis. No obstante, en otros deportes de raqueta como por ejemplo el pádel, incluso en su circuito profesional, no se dispone de dichas personas a ambos lados de la red y, en ningún caso, tampoco se utiliza esta solución en la práctica amateur de estos deportes. To solve this problem, in the professional and elite arena, people are involved in at least one end of the net who manually pick up the balls that are left in the net or on either side of the court. This is basically the solution that is carried out in tournaments on the professional tennis circuit. However, in other racket sports such as paddle tennis, even in their professional circuit, there are no such people on both sides of the net and, in no case, is this solution used in the amateur practice of these sports. .
Es conocido lo divulgado en el documento ES1233669U donde se describe una solución que está dirigida a solucionar este problema, y que consiste en ubicar junto a los postes de la red unos soportes laterales que fijan una red supletoria, y donde la red supletoria a ambos lados de la red principal, estando anclada a esta red principal, de forma que la red supletoria consigue una forma de V independiente que genera una zona de recogida de pelotas, quedando el vértice fijado en la arista inferior de la red principal. Esta solución requiere de una pluralidad de refuerzos distribuidos a lo largo de toda la red supletoria que la fijan a la red principal, y que hacen que esta forma de V se mantenga longitudinalmente. Sin embargo, esta solución presenta el problema de que no es una solución desmontable, no permite el ajuste de su altura, y requiere de una pluralidad de elementos distribuidos longitudinalmente que permitan que la red independiente en forma de V mantenga esa forma, dado que sin ellos la red caería y no permitiría obtener el resultado buscado. Adicionalmente, esta solución no es estándar para cualquier tipo de red, sino que cada red divisoria requiere de una red supletoria determinada para esa red principal concreta, y una vez fijada no es regulable en altura o posición. Esto hace que esta solución no sea versátil. It is known what is disclosed in the document ES1233669U where a solution is described that is aimed at solving this problem, and that consists of locating side supports that fix an extra net next to the net posts, and where the extra net on both sides of the main net, being anchored to this main net, so that the supplementary net achieves an independent V-shape that generates a ball collection area, with the vertex fixed on the lower edge of the main net. This solution requires a plurality of reinforcements distributed throughout the entire supplementary network that fix it to the main network, and that ensure that this V-shape is maintained longitudinally. However, this solution has the problem that it is not a removable solution, it does not allow its height to be adjusted, and it requires a plurality of longitudinally distributed elements that allow the independent V-shaped network to maintain that shape, since without them the network would fall and would not allow obtaining the desired result. Additionally, this solution is not standard for any type of network, but each dividing network requires a specific supplementary network for that specific main network, and once fixed it is not adjustable in height or position. This makes this solution not versatile.
Para resolver estos problemas técnicos previamente indicados, la presente invención propone un equipamiento compuesto por al menos dos redes laterales ubicadas a ambos lados de la red principal, siendo ambas redes independientes de dicha red, y con unos medios de soporte y ajuste tanto en posición y altura fijados en los extremos de la red que tensionan de forma independiente a cada red lateral, y que permiten ajustar su posición sin necesidad de que las redes laterales tengan que estar fijadas a la red principal. Esto permite, frente a otras soluciones conocidas en el estado del arte, tener una solución versátil, ajustable en posición y altura, sencilla y rápida de montar o desmontar y que es por tanto reutilizable cuantas veces sea necesario, es una solución ligera y fácil de transportar y/o almacenar, y permite resolver el problema de recoger las pelotas que chocan en la red evitando que éstas vuelvan a la zona de juego. To solve these previously indicated technical problems, the present invention proposes equipment made up of at least two lateral networks located on both sides of the main network, both networks being independent of said network, and with support and adjustment means both in position and height fixed at the ends of the net that independently tension each lateral net, and that allow their position to be adjusted without the need for the lateral nets to be fixed to the main net. This allows, compared to other solutions known in the state of the art, to have a versatile solution, adjustable in position and height, simple and quick to assemble or disassemble and that is therefore reusable as many times as necessary, it is a light and easy solution to transport and/or store, and allows to solve the problem of collecting the balls that hit the net, preventing them from returning to the playing area.
Por tanto, habida cuenta de todos los aspectos previos, no se conoce un equipamiento recogepelotas como el descrito en la presente invención, el cual mejora y se diferencia de cualquier accesorio o equipamiento conocido en el estado de la técnica, tanto en su estructura, en su mecanismo de montaje y desmontaje, como en las prestaciones que permite obtener, y con la que se consigue resolver el problema técnico previamente indicado existente en la práctica de deportes, principalmente de raqueta, donde existe una red divisoria y se pretende evitar que las pelotas queden desperdigadas por la zona de juego. Therefore, taking into account all the previous aspects, there is no known ball-collecting equipment such as the one described in the present invention, which improves and differs from any accessory or equipment known in the state of the art, both in its structure, in its assembly and disassembly mechanism, as well as in the benefits that it allows to obtain, and with which it is possible to solve the previously indicated technical problem existing in the practice of sports, mainly racket sports, where there is a dividing net and it is intended to prevent the balls are scattered around the play area.
Breve descripción del invento Brief description of the invention
El equipamiento recogepelotas objeto de la presente invención consiste en ubicar en la parte inferior de ambos lados o costados de una red divisoria o red principal, una red lateral que recoja las pelotas que caen por gravedad al suelo tras golpear con la red principal. El invento se puede instalar en cualquier tipo de pista que tenga red divisoria, donde la misma está fijada en sus dos extremos en dos postes, o de elementos similares en las paredes laterales o en el marco central de las puertas de acceso de algunas pistas de pádel, y está pensada para evitar que una pelota, tras golpear con la red divisoria, no vuelva a la zona de juego, lo que hace que entorpezca y ralentice el juego, además de evitar que en el trascurso del mismo un jugador pueda pisar una pelota y lesionarse, o que la propia pelota de juego golpee con alguna otra que esté descansando en la zona de juego. The ball-collecting equipment object of the present invention consists of locating in the lower part of both sides or sides of a dividing net or main net, a lateral net that collects the balls that fall to the ground by gravity after hitting the main net. The invention can be installed on any type of track that has a dividing net, where it is fixed at its two ends on two posts, or similar elements on the side walls or on the central frame of the access doors of some tracks. padel, and is designed to prevent a ball, after hitting the dividing net, from returning to the playing area, which makes it hinder and slow down the game, as well as preventing a player from stepping on a ball and get injured, or that the game ball itself hits another that is resting in the playing area.
Entrando en el detalle del invento, el equipamiento está constituido por: Going into the detail of the invention, the equipment consists of:
- unas redes laterales, donde existe al menos una red en cada costado de la red principal y ubicada en la parte inferior de la misma, donde cada red está constituida por un cordón superior y un cordón inferior que sirven de sustento del cuerpo de red; y donde el cordón superior e inferior pueden ajustarse en posición para ajustarse a la zona de la red principal donde se desee instalar; - side nets, where there is at least one net on each side of the main net and located in the lower part of the same, where each net is made up of an upper and a lower cord that serve as a support for the net body; and where the upper and lower cord can be adjusted in position to fit the area of the main network where it is desired to install;
- unos soportes abrazadera donde hay al menos uno fijado en cada uno de los postes de fijación de la red principal, donde estos soportes comprenden al menos una pletina lateral sobresaliente, donde cada pletina comprende al menos un orificio de fijación con lo que un usuario puede ajustar unos centímetros en altura y anchura y evitar tener que mover el soporte abrazadera entero; y donde un usuario puede fijar la altura o posición del soporte abrazadera que sea precisa; - unos elementos tensores, preferentemente muelles de tracción con unos ganchos, donde cada elemento tensor se fija, por un lado, en la pletina del soporte abrazadera y, por otro lado, se fija el cordón superior de una red lateral, de forma que el cuerpo de la red lateral se encuentra paralelo a la cara externa de la red principal generando una zona de recogida de pelotas, las cuales tras chocar con la red principal caen por gravedad en dicha zona de recogida; donde el cordón superior de dicho cuerpo de la red principal se encuentra tensado longitudinalmente manteniendo su posición en todo momento sin necesidad de elementos de anclaje intermedios, y donde el cordón inferior se fija a los postes de la red principal sin tensar; y donde al ser cada red lateral independiente, el choque de una pelota en un lado de la red principal y el desplazamiento de la citada red principal no afecta en su posición a ninguna de las dos redes laterales. - some clamp supports where there is at least one fixed on each of the fixing posts of the main network, where these supports comprise at least one protruding side plate, where each plate comprises at least one fixing hole with which a user can adjust a few centimeters in height and width and avoid having to move the entire clamp support; and where a user can set the height or position of the clamp support that is precise; - Some tensioning elements, preferably traction springs with hooks, where each tensioning element is fixed, on the one hand, to the platen of the clamp support and, on the other hand, the upper cord of a lateral net is fixed, so that the body of the lateral net is parallel to the external face of the main net, generating a collection area for balls, which after colliding with the main net fall by gravity into said collection area; where the upper cord of said body of the main net is longitudinally tensioned, maintaining its position at all times without the need for intermediate anchoring elements, and where the lower cord is fixed to the posts of the main net without tension; and where as each side net is independent, the impact of a ball on one side of the main net and the displacement of said main net does not affect the position of any of the two side nets.
Es importante indicar que las redes laterales son ¡guales, pero son elementos independientes y, por tanto, no tienen cordones comunes entre ambas. Del mismo modo se destaca que la red principal se considera que es un elemento vertical; mientras que las redes laterales, dependiendo de la longitud de las dimensiones de las pletinas sobresalientes de los soportes abrazadera que fijan la posición del cordón superior y del ancho del poste donde se fija el cordón inferior, puede hacer que el cuerpo de cada red lateral pueda ser vertical o pueda tener una ligera inclinación. En cualquier caso o posible realización, la zona inferior del conjunto existente entre la red principal y las redes laterales genera la zona recogepelotas a cada lado de la red principal. It is important to indicate that the lateral nets are the same, but they are independent elements and, therefore, they do not have common cords between them. In the same way it is highlighted that the main network is considered to be a vertical element; while the lateral nets, depending on the length of the dimensions of the protruding plates of the clamp supports that fix the position of the upper chord and the width of the post where the lower chord is fixed, can make the body of each lateral net be vertical or may have a slight incline. In any case or possible embodiment, the lower area of the set existing between the main net and the lateral nets generates the ball collecting area on each side of the main net.
En una realización particular de la invención, concretamente en algunas pistas de pádel, cabe destacarse que no existen postes como tal, sino que la red divisoria va fijada directamente en las paredes laterales o en el marco central de las puertas de acceso a la pista, que en cualquier caso actúa como poste de sustentación de la red principal. En estos casos, se fija o atornilla la pletina lateral a esas mismas paredes o marco central de las puertas de acceso. In a particular embodiment of the invention, specifically in some paddle tennis courts, it should be noted that there are no posts as such, but rather the dividing net is fixed directly to the side walls or to the central frame of the access doors to the court, which in any case acts as a supporting post for the main network. In these cases, the side plate is fixed or screwed to the same walls or central frame of the access doors.
En una realización de la invención, y con el objetivo de que las redes laterales no vuelen o por los posibles desplazamientos de la red debido a pelotazos, o por efecto del viento, las redes laterales pueden comprender longitudinalmente una pluralidad de uniones inferiores que fijen el cordón inferior del cuerpo de la red lateral a la parte inferior de la red principal. Este tipo de uniones inferiores pueden ser de fijación rápida tipo velero, anillas, bridas o cualquier otro elemento de unión que fije ambas redes. En posibles realizaciones de la invención, las redes laterales pueden ser de cualquier color, aunque en una realización preferente de la invención son del mismo color que la de la red principal de la pista, precisamente para que éstas se mimeticen al máximo con la red divisoria con objeto de pasar lo más inadvertida posible para los jugadores. In one embodiment of the invention, and with the aim that the lateral nets do not fly or due to the possible displacements of the net due to balls, or due to the effect of the wind, the lateral nets can longitudinally comprise a plurality of lower joints that fix the bottom chord of the side net body to the bottom of the main net. This type of lower joints can be fast-fixing type sailboat, rings, flanges or any other joining element that fixes both nets. In possible embodiments of the invention, the lateral nets can be of any color, although in a preferred embodiment of the invention they are the same color as that of the main net of the track, precisely so that they blend in as much as possible with the dividing net. in order to go as unnoticed as possible for the players.
Como se ha indicado anteriormente, tanto el cordón superior como el inferior permiten ajustar en posición las redes laterales, de modo que puede haber una parte de cordón que sobre en longitud. El cordón sobrante superior se puede cortar una vez fijado convenientemente al muelle, puesto que ese cordón sobrante no tiene ninguna utilidad; pero éste también puede ser atado o enrollado al poste, por si en un siguiente uso o instalación se requiere de una longitud mayor. El cordón sobrante inferior se enrolla a la parte inferior del poste. En este sentido, es importante mencionar que no todas las pistas de tenis/pádel tienen la misma distancia entre los postes, por eso, la longitud de dichos cordones es superior a la longitud oficial de las redes, lo que permite que el usuario pueda ajustar la dimensión de red lateral que requiera para cada caso particular. Por tanto, independientemente del ancho de red con el que nos encontremos, el invento permite que la red se pueda ajustar fácilmente a cada tipo de pista deportiva donde sea instalada. As indicated above, both the upper and lower cords allow the lateral nets to be adjusted in position, so that there may be a part of the cord that is too long. The upper excess cord can be cut once it has been conveniently attached to the spring, since this excess cord is of no use; but it can also be tied or rolled to the pole, in case a longer length is required in a subsequent use or installation. The bottom excess cord is wrapped around the bottom of the post. In this sense, it is important to mention that not all tennis/paddle courts have the same distance between the posts, therefore, the length of these cords is greater than the official length of the nets, which allows the user to adjust the lateral network dimension required for each particular case. Therefore, regardless of the width of the net with which we find ourselves, the invention allows the net to be easily adjusted to each type of sports court where it is installed.
Esto hace que la presente invención, frente a los problemas técnicos descritos anteriormente, permita simplificar y tener ventajas como la de poder eliminar las tablas o travesanos laterales existentes en otras soluciones que resultan pesadas y aparatosas, mientras que con la presente invención las redes se fijan directamente en unas abrazaderas y no requiere de piezas adicionales; no son necesarios refuerzos que permitían asegurar la forma de las redes accesorias en forma de V o cualquier otra formación, y con la presente invención se mantiene la tensión en las redes a lo largo de toda su longitud gracias a los muelles de tracción en cada extremo para asegurar esa tensión; se puede simplificar el material de la red y se pueden utilizan redes de menor gramaje, tipo bádminton, mucho más ligeras y discretas, sin ser el material una característica limitante de la invención. Todo esto hace que la presente invención sea un equipamiento sencillo de instalar; muy versátil y ligero, lo que facilita el transporte; no es aparatoso, con lo que se puede almacenar fácilmente y puede ser presentado comercialmente en forma de kit; y es una solución discreta y más segura al no sobresalir prácticamente nada de la red original evitando enganchones y golpes accidentales de los jugadores con los soportes, travesanos o refuerzos longitudinales existentes en otras soluciones. This makes the present invention, in the face of the technical problems described above, simplify and have advantages such as being able to eliminate the existing side boards or crossbars in other solutions that are heavy and cumbersome, while with the present invention the nets are fixed directly on clamps and requires no additional parts; reinforcements are not necessary to ensure the shape of the accessory nets in the form of a V or any other formation, and with the present invention tension is maintained in the nets along their entire length thanks to the traction springs at each end to ensure that tension; the material of the net can be simplified and nets of lower grammage, badminton type, much lighter and more discreet, can be used, without the material being a limiting characteristic of the invention. All this makes the present invention a simple piece of equipment to install; very versatile and light, which facilitates transport; it is not cumbersome, so it can be easily stored and can be commercially presented in kit form; and it is a discreet and safer solution as practically nothing protrudes from the original net, avoiding accidental snags and hits by the players with the supports, crossbars or longitudinal reinforcements existing in other solutions.
Considerando los aspectos anteriores, se ha de tener en cuenta que, a lo largo de la descripción y las reivindicaciones, el término “comprende” y sus variantes no pretenden excluir otras características técnicas o elementos adicionales. Como se ha indicado previamente, el presente equipamiento no se limita en cuanto a tamaño, color, material o dimensiones, dado que puede ser ajustado tanto en posición como en altura a cualquier tipo de red existente en una pista deportiva. Además, para completar la descripción y como objeto de ayuda a una mejor comprensión de las características del invento, se presenta un juego de dibujos en donde, con carácter ilustrativo y no limitativo, se representa lo siguiente: Considering the above aspects, it must be taken into account that, throughout the description and the claims, the term "comprises" and its variants are not intended to exclude other technical characteristics or additional elements.
