DE2916262A1 - Training surface for ball games - has wall surface provided with recesses or raised sections to reproduce different ball return characteristics - Google Patents

Abstract

The training surface includes additional surfaces or surface sections in the form of elements or alternatively has either surface or surface sections removed from the base surface. The training surface may be either wholly or partially removed from a level surface and may include concave and/or convex curvatures on or in the surface. Any additional surface section elements are attached either by a magnet or by being firmly seated such as being pressed in, being inserted or attached by a similar method. Uneven sections can be worked into the training wall in the form of recesses or raised sections to provide different divertions for the ball in accordance with the different requirements of particular games e.g. tennis or volleyball.

Description

Uwe N a t u s

Fixberg 18a 479 Paderborn and Heide B r e h m, née Ehrmuth Thomas Knorrstrasse 25 81 Garmisch-Partenkirchen training area The invention relates to a training area for ball games or

Games of the same kind.

Training walls for ball games are known per se, e.g. the so-called Coach wall for tennis players with network marking, as they are on most tennis facilities is to be found; the football wall known from television with circular recesses, into which the ball is to be shot; Tables, one half of which is vertical is provided in order to be able to practice playing table tennis without a partner, etc.

All known training and game walls have a common disadvantage: They are flat, i.e. they pass the ball passed by the player on an easily calculable, regular way back. The trainee can therefore already be when the ball is handed over adjust to the following regularity and prepare his reaction: play delivery angle of the ball on the wall = kickback angle to the player, etc. Object of the invention is to create a training tool1 which gives the player the opportunity to Even without a partner player, e.g. being served balls in an unpredictable trajectory, i.e. his reaction must be spontaneous, his reaction must be so desirable for foot and handball players Both-handedness and two-footedness "will train your stamina through versatility of movements greatly strengthened. The training or the game can be both alone, as well as with one or more partners, or carried out by the trainer The given task is solved by a training area, just like you is described in claim l and the subclaims.

The training area can be used for various ball games, e.g.

B. tennis, table tennis, hand and soccer, volleyball and basketball etc. can be adapted to the very different requirements.

The surface can be rigid, e.g. made of wood, plastic or similar material be designed or flexible, bendable in a circle or as a mat made of rubber or Plastic, or plastic film, possibly double-layered with slide-in pockets, be rollable, etc.

This area, e.g. flexibly designed as a mat, has the advantage of that every existing area, e.g. basement wall, garage door, house wall, etc., can be used as a play area can be used so that it can be attached and tidied up quickly and easily that it can be taken to save space, e.g. rolled up (car etc).

The bumps, which -depending on the training and type of game- in very different ways Requirements must be coordinated, can be designed in many variations, e.g.

Any number of elements that can be inserted into the rigid or flexible wall and arrangement can be plugged in, screwed in, magnetically fastened, etc. can be and their parts protruding beyond the wall, e.g. lenticularly arched, with facets provided or equipped with other structures.

Also as elements that are in a double-layer mat with insertion openings be inserted.

The bumps can also be shaped right into the training area of e.g. raised or recessed bulges, facets, knurls, etc. integrated be.

Such training surfaces can be made of wood or deep-drawn plastic or injected, complete or in parts or made of rubber, possibly with inlaid Elements that are made to connect firmly to the wall during manufacture will.

There is also the option of a training area this Way of accommodating one or more visually striking target points, which at Hit the ball, e.g. give an acoustic or optical signal.

Further details of this invention are illustrated by means of examples and result in additional clarifications from the description and the drawings namely shows: FIG. 1: an embodiment of a training surface with a Plug element in section and diagram of ball trajectories, Fig. 2: an embodiment a training area with structure and insert for target hit exercises in the cut, Fig. 3: the top view of an embodiment as a mat, Fig. 4: a cross section a version as a mat with pockets and Fig. 5: the cross-section a semicircular curved training surface.

F i g u r 1 shows a rigid training wall 1 (could also be elastic, partially elastic, be arched at least 1 times, etc.) with a plug-in element 2, whose Lens-shaped domed head 3 causes the player hit against the wall Ball 4, which reaches the wall at an angle α, does not, as with conventional, flat planes Training TJ lands at the same setback angle b rebounds from the same, but deflected at angle c, which the player cannot calculate, from the wall rebounds.

Plug elements 2 of this or a similar type can be used in a variety be provided on at least one surface 1. The angle of inclination can be be chosen differently; symmetrical design of a plug element 2 is not mandatory.

Fig. 2 shows, for example, a deep-drawn or injection-molded training surface 5 with depressions 6 and elevations 7 (e.g. wavy line-like), which are different Create ball trajectories "d" and "e".

In addition, there is an insert 8 for training target accuracy to recognize which at any point in any number on the training area can be attached; it can also be when a ball hits the center trigger optical and / or acoustic signal.

The depressions 6 and elevations 7 can, for example, be in the form of strips be provided offset from one another or the entire surface is designed in this way. Here, too, plug-in elements 2 (see FIG. 1) or other deflection means can be provided be.

FIG. 3 shows a training surface designed as a mat 9 Insert 8 for the target meeting. It can be attached, e.g. using the eyelets 10. Tension springs provide the necessary tension 11. The smooth edge 12 can be any be designed broadly. You can assign several mats 9 to one another. The other Mat (s) could, for example, be arranged at an angle to the mat (s) shown. The mat (s) can be stretched to a greater or lesser extent - even in only one direction.

FIG. 4 shows the cross section of a two-layer rubber or plastic mat 13, where the pockets are open by welding, gluing or similar 14 for receiving e.g.

loose, e.g. plate-shaped elements 15 emerged. A multitude such elements 14/15 can optionally with the otherwise indicated or not shown, differently shaped elements are used.

FIG. 5 shows a strongly curved training surface 16 with an irregular shape Structure and suspended or stretched exercise device 17, as they are for Offers reaction training in a small space, e.g. boxing. It's easy to understand that you can bend such a surface closer together or pull it further apart can. This can be done mechanically or by a drive during the game, so that the reset angles always vary.

Such a surface can also change due to its angle of inclination (can be kinked) experienced (more or less inclined or even tilted towards the player etc).

Such a wall or another wall can be stretched or it can also be convex. By moving the surface back and forth (e.g. also by swinging etc.) there are other variants.
