Definitions
- the invention relates to a tennis court.
- the tennis court according to the invention comprises a panel composed of a single or of various elements and supported by a frame, said court being movable. It is characterized in that the support frame is mounted on a pivot oriented in the longitudinal axis of the court and is provided with jacks intended to adjust the lateral inclination of said panel.
- the tennis court shown in the drawing comprises a panel 1 of agglomerated wood or other agglomerated material, such as that which is marketed under the designation "Eternit” 1 , ® disposed on a metal frame 2, mounted on a pivot 3, oriented in its longitudinal axis.
- Cylinders 4 arranged in the vicinity of the longitudinal edges of the frame 2 make it possible to adjust the lateral inclination of the panel 1 which has along one of its longitudinal edges a gutter 5.
- a slight lateral inclination of the panel 1 as shown in Figure 3 allows the flow of rainwater into the gutter 5. This avoids any accumulation of water on the panel 1 in the event of rain and the deterioration of the surface of the panel 1 which could result therefrom.
- bale picker 7 also comprising a conveyor belt 8, driven by an electric motor, these bales can be poured into the receptacle 9 of a bale return device (not shown ) allowing a player to train alone on the court.
- the panel 1 is made of "Eternit” ® or any other material tending to expand under the effect of heat

Abstract
Description
L'invention a pour objet un court de tennis.The invention relates to a tennis court.
Les courts de tennis usuels sont aménagés à même le sol, dans un plan parfaitement horizontal. On prévoit généralement un empierrement assurant une certaine stabilité du sol, que l'on recouvre de terre, de sable et/ou d'une couche de béton ou autre matériau rigide ou semi-rigide.The usual tennis courts are laid out on the ground, in a perfectly horizontal plane. It is generally expected that there will be a rock formation ensuring a certain stability of the soil, which is covered with earth, sand and / or a layer of concrete or other rigid or semi-rigid material.
Par le brevet US-A-3.779.437, on connaît déjà un court de tennis formé d'éléments disposés côte à côte sur une armature de support démontable et déplaçable.From US-A-3,779,437, a tennis court is already known which is formed of elements placed side by side on a removable and displaceable support frame.
Le court de tennis selon l'invention comprend un panneau composé d'un seul ou de divers éléments et supporté par une armature, ledit court étant déplaçable. Il est caractérisé en ce que l'armature de support est montée sur un pivot orienté dans l'axe longitudinal du court et est munie de vérins destinés à ajuster l'inclinaison latérale dudit panneau.The tennis court according to the invention comprises a panel composed of a single or of various elements and supported by a frame, said court being movable. It is characterized in that the support frame is mounted on a pivot oriented in the longitudinal axis of the court and is provided with jacks intended to adjust the lateral inclination of said panel.
Le dessin annexé représente schématiquement et à titre d'exemple, une forme d'exécution du court de tennis selon l'invention.
- La figure 1 est une vue de dessus.
- La figure 2 est une vue en bout dans une première position.
- La figure 3 est une vue en bout dans une seconde position.
- La figure 4 représente un accessoire destiné à alimenter un appareil renvoyeur de balles.
- Figure 1 is a top view.
- Figure 2 is an end view in a first position.
- Figure 3 is an end view in a second position.
- FIG. 4 represents an accessory intended to supply a ball returning device.
Le court de tennis représenté au dessin comprend un panneau 1 en bois aggloméré ou autre matériau aggloméré, tel que celui qui est commercialisé sous la désignation « Eternit »1,® disposé sur une armature métallique 2, montée sur un pivot 3, orienté dans son axe longitudinal. Des vérins 4 disposés au voisinage des bords longitudinaux de l'armature 2 permettent d'ajuster l'inclinaison latérale du panneau 1 qui présente le long d'un de ses bords longitudinaux une gouttière 5. Une faible inclinaison latérale du panneau 1 telle que représentée à la figure 3, permet l'écoulement de l'eau de pluie dans la gouttière 5. On évite ainsi toute accumulation d'eau sur le panneau 1 en cas de pluie et les détériorations de la surface du panneau 1 qui pourraient en résulter. D'autre part, il est possible d'utiliser le court très peu de temps après que la pluie s'arrête de tomber.The tennis court shown in the drawing comprises a
En équipant la gouttière 5 d'une bande transporteuse 6, entraînée par un moteur électrique, on peut, dans cette position légèrement inclinée du court 1, collecter les balles de tennis hors jeu dans la gouttière 5 et les transporter vers une extrémité du court 1. En disposant à cette extrémité de la gouttière 5 d'un ramasseur de balles 7, comprenant également une bande transporteuse 8, entraînée par un moteur électrique, on peut déverser ces balles dans le réceptacle 9 d'un appareil renvoyeur de balles (non représenté) permettant à un joueur de s'entraîner seul sur le court.By equipping the
Il est, bien entendu, possible de recueillir les balles amenées à une extrémité de la gouttière 5 par la bande transporteuse 6 dans un logement branché sur une soufflerie qui les propulse vers le renvoyeur de balles.It is, of course, possible to collect the balls brought to one end of the
Dans le cas où le panneau 1 est réalisé en « Eternit »® ou tout autre matériau tendant à se dilater sous l'effet de la chaleur, il est préférable de disposer côte à côte sur l'armature métallique 2 des éléments de panneau et de les maintenir au contact les uns des autres au moyen d'organes élastiques tels que des ressorts de compression disposés entre les bords de l'armature métallique 2 et les éléments de panneau voisins de ces bords et de monter sous l'armature 2 un vibreur destiné à faciliter le rapprochement de ces éléments.In the case where the
Parmi les autres avantages que représente le court de tennis décrit ci-dessus, il y a lieu de signaler la possibilité de le transférer, sans détérioration aucune, en un autre lieu.Among the other advantages of the tennis court described above, it is worth mentioning the possibility of transferring it, without any deterioration, to another place.
