Description

L'objet de la présente invention est un jouet individuel pour le rebondissement aérien d'une balle, en particulier d'une balle partiellement reliée à un châssis à fourche.The object of the present invention is an individual toy for the aerial bouncing of a ball, in particular a ball partially connected to a fork frame.

Le but de la présente invention est celui de réaliser un jouet qui permet, à chaque individu, le rebondissement aérien d'une balle, par rebondissement, à partir d'une première position à une autre spéculaire à la première, et vice-versa.The object of the present invention is that of making a toy which allows, to each individual, the aerial rebounding of a ball, by rebounding, from a first position to another specular to the first, and vice versa.

Un autre but de la présente invention est celui de permettre ce qu'on a ci-dessus mentionné, indépendamment de la position prise, dans l'espace, par ledit jouet.Another object of the present invention is that of allowing what has been mentioned above, independently of the position taken, in space, by said toy.

Ces buts sont atteints grâce à l'invention en question, qui est caractérisée par le fait de comprendre un châssis à fourche, doué, à la partie centrale et à l'extérieur, d'une poignée, tandis qu'à l'intérieur, les deux dents de la fourche se terminent par deux surfaces élargies, l'une vis à vis de l'autre et à la base des deux dents le châssis à fourche porte un fil flexible, à l'extrémité duquel est reliée une balle, se trouvant à la hauteur des deux surfaces élargies; la longeur dudit fil flexible est donc telle que la-dite balle puisse contacter l'une et l'autre des deux surfaces ayant une forme préférablement ronde ou ovale.These aims are achieved thanks to the invention in question, which is characterized by the fact of comprising a fork frame, endowed, at the central part and outside, with a handle, while inside, the two teeth of the fork end in two enlarged surfaces, one opposite the other and the base of the two teeth the fork frame carries a flexible wire, at the end of which is connected a ball, being at the height of the two widened surfaces; the length of said flexible wire is therefore such that the said ball can contact one and the other of the two surfaces having a preferably round or oval shape.

Une solution préférée de l'invention prévoit que lés surfaces élargies frappées par la balle soient dirigées légèrement en dehors, de façon à soumettre le fil à une traction continue.A preferred solution of the invention provides that the enlarged surfaces struck by the ball are directed slightly outward, so as to subject the wire to continuous traction.

Une autre solution préférée de l'invention prévoit que le châssis à fourche soit réalisé d'une matière particulièrement convenable pour faire rebondir la balle.Another preferred solution of the invention provides that the fork frame is made of a material particularly suitable for bouncing the ball.

Encore une autre réalisation préférée de-l'invention prévoit que les surfaces élargies soient revêtues sur la face frappée par la balle d'une matière destinée à faire rebondir mieux la balle, ou bien d'une matière qui peut amortir le bruit produit par celle-ci.Yet another preferred embodiment of the invention provides that the enlarged surfaces are coated on the face struck by the ball with a material intended to make the ball bounce better, or else with a material which can dampen the noise produced by that -this.

D'autres caractéristiques de la présente invention seront plus évidentes de la description détaillée d'une forme préférée, mais non limitative de réalisation de l'invention en question, illustrée seulement à titre d'exemple sur le dessin annexé, où:

  • la Figure 1 est une vue de face d'une réalisation préférée de l'invention;
  • La Figure 2 est une vue d'une seconde réalisation de l'invention; et
  • La Figure 3 est une vue en perspective et agrandie de la réalisation de la Figure 2.
Other characteristics of the present invention will be more evident from the detailed description of a preferred, but nonlimiting embodiment of the invention in question, illustrated only by way of example in the appended drawing, where:
  • Figure 1 is a front view of a preferred embodiment of the invention;
  • Figure 2 is a view of a second embodiment of the invention; and
  • Figure 3 is an enlarged perspective view of the embodiment of Figure 2.

En se rapportant tout d'abord à la Figure 1, on a indiqué par 1 le jouet dans son ensemble, constitué par un châssis à fourche 2, doué d'une poignée 3 et de deux dents 2a aux extrémités libres de laquelle on a réalisé deux surfaces planes 4, de préférence ovales ou elliptiques et raccordées à la partie supérieure au châssis 2. Une balle 5 est reliée, au moyen d'un fil flexible 6, au châssis 2, ou mieux au fond de l'espace entre les dents 2. La longueur de ce fil flexible 6 est au moins telle que la balle 5 puisse arriver à contacter les surfaces planes 4, qui sont placées l'une vis à vis de l'autre, disposées de préférence perpendiculairement à la trajectoire de la balle 5. Dans la réalisation de la Figure 1 lesdites surfaces 4 sont placées essentiellement perpendiculaires à la trajectoire de la balle 5, oscillante entre les deux surfaces 4.Referring first to Figure 1, there is indicated by 1 the toy as a whole, consisting of a fork frame 2, endowed with a handle 3 and two teeth 2a at the free ends of which one has made two flat surfaces 4, preferably oval or elliptical and connected to the upper part of the frame 2. A ball 5 is connected, by means of a flexible wire 6, to the frame 2, or better still at the bottom of the space between the teeth 2. The length of this flexible wire 6 is at least such that the ball 5 can come into contact with the flat surfaces 4, which are placed opposite one another, preferably arranged perpendicularly to the trajectory of the ball 5. In the embodiment of FIG. 1, said surfaces 4 are placed essentially perpendicular to the trajectory of the ball 5, oscillating between the two surfaces 4.

Dans les réalisations des Figures 2 et 3, les surfaces 4 sont indiquées par 14 et elles sont inclinées, toutes les deux vers l'extérieur, du même angle A, par rapport au plan pointillé P perpendiculaire à la trajectoire pendulaire de la balle. Les surfaces 14 sont fixées à l'extrémité 12a du châssis à fourche 12, comme dans la réalisation de la Figure 1, tandis qu'une poignée indiquée par 13 est fixée à son tour dans la zone médiane dudit châssis, vers l'extérieur.In the embodiments of FIGS. 2 and 3, the surfaces 4 are indicated by 14 and they are inclined, both outwards, by the same angle A, with respect to the dotted plane P perpendicular to the pendular trajectory of the ball. The surfaces 14 are fixed to the end 12a of the fork frame 12, as in the embodiment of Figure 1, while a handle indicated by 13 is fixed in turn in the middle zone of said chassis, towards the outside.

La balle 5 peut ainsi effectuer des oscillations alternées en partant d'une surface plane 4 à l'autre, en maintenant toujours le fil 6 en tension, quelque soit la position de la balle 5 par rapport au point de fixation du fil 6 qui la relie, c'est-à-dire même si la balle est placée à la partie supérieure de la poignée 3 (ou 13).The bale 5 can thus carry out alternating oscillations from one flat surface 4 to the other, always keeping the wire 6 in tension, whatever the position of the ball 5 relative to the point of attachment of the wire 6 which connects, that is to say even if the ball is placed at the top of the handle 3 (or 13).

La châssis 2 (ou 12) est de préférence d'une seule pièce avec la poignée 3 (ou 13) et il est constitué par une matière telle à permettre un bon rebondissement de la balle 5 à chaque coup sur les surfaces 4 (ou 14).The chassis 2 (or 12) is preferably in one piece with the handle 3 (or 13) and it is made of a material such as to allow good bouncing of the ball 5 with each stroke on the surfaces 4 (or 14 ).

Le côté intérieur 7 des surfaces 4 (ou 14) peut être revêtu d'une matière qui amortit le bruit ou qui fait mieux rebondir la balle. Lesdites matières peuvent être par exemple le feutre ou le coutchou, respectivement.The inner side 7 of the surfaces 4 (or 14) may be coated with a material which dampens noise or which makes the ball bounce better. Said materials can be for example felt or coutchou, respectively.

Pour faciliter la connexion initiale de la balle 5 au fil 6 et ce dernier au châssis 2 (ou 12) à l'assemblage, la poignée 3 (ou 13) et respectivement la balle 5 doivent présenter un trou longitudinal passant, indiqué par les traits pointillés sur la Figure 3.To facilitate the initial connection of the bale 5 to the wire 6 and the latter to the frame 2 (or 12) at the assembly, the handle 3 (or 13) and respectively the bale 5 must have a passing longitudinal hole, indicated by the lines dotted in Figure 3.

Le jouet en question, structuré comme ci-dessus, permet, à qui l'emploi avec adresse, de rebondir" la balle 5 d'une surface à l'autre, indépendamment de la position prise dans l'espace dudit jouet, qui ainsi réalise les évolutions les plus variées pouvant se placer, avec la balle en mouvement, même au-dessus de la tête du joueur.The toy in question, structured as above, allows those with skillful use to bounce "ball 5 from one surface to another, regardless of the position taken in space of said toy, which thus achieves the most varied evolutions which can be placed, with the ball in motion, even above the player's head.
