Abstract

A racket for a ball to be hit and guided at the ground includes a frame of an oval shape and surrounding a central opening through the frame. The frame has opposite arcuate-shaped top and bottom portions being oppositely curved away from another and opposite arcuate-shaped lateral end portions extending between the top and bottom portions and being oppositely curved away from one another so as to provide the frame with the oval shape. The racket also includes a striking face mounted to the frame and extending across the central opening thereof and an elongated shaft joined with the frame at one of the arcuate-shaped lateral end portions thereof and extending from the frame in a generally tangential relationship to the frame. The striking face has a pair of opposite sides. The frame at the bottom portion thereof has a bottom surface and opposite inner faces adjacent to the bottom surf ace being concavely shaped and converging with the opposite sides of the striking face and with the bottom surface of the frame to form therewith a sharply cornered angle. The bottom portion of the frame is wider than the top portion thereof in cross section so as to reinforce the bottom portion of the frame to withstand coming into contact with the ground during play.

Description

Die vorliegende Erfindung betrifft einen Schläger für einen am Boden zu schlagenden und führenden Ball mit einem Stiel und davon im Winkel abstehender Schlagfläche mit Gitterstruktur.The present invention relates to a racket for a ball to be struck on the ground and leading with a stick and of which striking surface with grid structure protruding at an angle.

Aus dem Sport- und Freizeitbereich sind eine Vielzahl von Schlägern bekannt. Darunter gibt es eine erste Gruppierung von Schlägern mit in Fortsetzung der Längsachse einer relativ großen Schlagfläche angeordneten Stielen (Tennis-, Squash-, Badminton, Tischtennisschläger etc.) sowie eine weitere Gruppierung von Schlägern mit einer vom Stiel abgewinkelten, relativ kleinen Schlagfläche (z.B. Eishockey, Streethockey-, Hockey-, und Golfschläger).There are a variety of sports and leisure activities Known to thugs. There is a first grouping of Clubs with a relatively large continuation of the longitudinal axis Stalks arranged on the playing surface (tennis, squash, badminton, Table tennis bats etc.) and another grouping of Clubs with a relatively small angled handle Playing surface (e.g. ice hockey, street hockey, hockey and golf clubs).

Aus US-PS 4,340,224 ist ein Schläger für Eishockeytorwarte bekannt, der eine vom Stiel abgewinkelte Fläche und eine sich daran anschließende, in Verlängerung des Schlägerstiels angeordnete, etwa ebenso breite Fläche aufweist. Beide Flächen besitzen einen Rahmen, in dem ein Netz aus Nylon oder Lederriemen gespannt ist. Mit diesem Netz soll ein Rückprall des Pucks vom Schläger vermieden, zumindest aber abgemindert werden. Ansonsten unterscheidet sich dieser Schläger nicht vom typischen Aufbau eines Torwartschlägers für Eishockey.From US-PS 4,340,224 is a racket for ice hockey goalkeeper known, the one angled surface from the stem and one itself adjoining, arranged in the extension of the stick, has approximately the same area. Own both areas a frame in which a net of nylon or leather straps is stretched is. This net is intended to rebound the puck from the racket avoided, but at least reduced. Otherwise makes a difference this racket does not differ from the typical structure of a Goalie stick for ice hockey.

US-PS 3,720,410 betrifft einen Ball-Hockeyschläger mit einer geschlossenen, schüsselförmigen Schlagfläche, die im Winkel zum Stiel angeordnet ist, wobei zwischen dieser Schlagfläche und dem Stiel eine ebenfalls zum Stiel abgewinkelte, zur schüsselförmigen Schlagfläche divergierende Schlagfläche vorgesehen ist. Dabei dient die schüsselförmige Schlagfläche zum Schlagen eines Balles, während die divergierende Schlagfläche zum Führen eines Balles gedacht ist.U.S. Patent 3,720,410 relates to a ball hockey stick with a closed, bowl - shaped face, which is at an angle to the Stalk is arranged, between this face and the Stem also angled to the stem, to the bowl-shaped Playing surface diverging playing surface is provided. there the bowl-shaped face serves to hit a ball, while the diverging face for guiding a ball is thought.

In EP 0 74 339 A1 ist ein Tennisschläger beschrieben, der von dem für Tennisschläger typischen Aufbau abweicht. Zwar entsprechen seine Schlagfläche und sein Stiel einzeln betrachtet. der Schlagfläche und dem Stiel eines typischen Tennisschlägers, jedoch steht die Längsachse der im wesentlichen ovalen Schlagfläche im Winkel zum Stiel, wobei die verlängerte Achse des Stiels durch den Mittelpunkt der Schlagfläche verläuft.EP 0 74 339 A1 describes a tennis racket made by deviates from the structure typical of tennis rackets. Adhere to its face and stem looked at individually. the Playing surface and the handle of a typical tennis racket, however stands the longitudinal axis of the substantially oval face at an angle to the stem, with the elongated axis of the stem passing through the center of the face runs.

Aufgabe der vorliegenden Erfindung ist es, einen völlig neuartigen Schläger für einen am Boden zu schlagenden und führenden Ball zur Verfügung zu stellen.The object of the present invention is a completely new Racket for a player to hit and lead on the ground To provide ball.

Diese Aufgabe wird mittels eines gattungsgemäßen Schlägers dadurch gelöst, daß seine Schlagfläche im wesentlichen die Form und Größe eines typischen Tennis-, Squash-, Badminton- oder Tischtennis-Schlägers besitzt, wobei sein Stiel an einem Ende der Schlagfläche einbindet.This task is accomplished by means of a racket of the generic type solved in that its face essentially the shape and size of a typical tennis, squash, badminton or Has table tennis racket, with its handle at one end of the Includes face.

Die aus dem Hauptanspruch hervorgehenden Merkmale des erfindungsgemäßen Schlägers scheinen dem ersten Eindruck nach banal zu sein. Tatsache ist jedoch, daß die oben genannten Gruppen von Schlägern schon Jahrzehnte nebeneinander existieren, ohne daß der erfindungsgemäße Vorschlag erfolgte. Mit der vorliegenden Erfindung werden alte, eingetretene Pfade verlassen. Das Ergebnis ist ein Schläger mit völlig neuer Optik, der ein Element der oben genannten ersten Schlägergruppe, nämlich die Schlagfläche, mit einem Element der zweiten Schlägergruppe, nämlich den in Schlagflächenebene von der Schlagfläche abgewinkelten Stiel, vereint. Der Schläger dient dem Schlagen und Führen eines Balles am Boden, wo bei auf Rollerblades oder Rollschuhen oder auch zu Fuß, genauso gut aber auch auf dem Eis mit Schlittschuhen gespielt werden kann.The features of the invention arising from the main claim Schläger's seem to be banal at first impression his. The fact is, however, that the above groups of Thugs have existed side by side for decades without the proposal according to the invention was made. With the present invention will leave old, established paths. The result is a racket with a completely new look, which is an element of the above first club group, namely the face, with a Element of the second group of clubs, namely the club face level stem angled from the face, united. The Racket is used to hit and guide a ball on the ground where when on roller blades or roller skates or on foot, just the same but also good to be played with ice skates on the ice can.

Vorteilhafte Ausgestaltungen des Schlägers ergeben sich aus den Unteransprüchen.Advantageous configurations of the racket result from the subclaims.

Nachstehend werden zunächst Merkmale beschrieben, die allen Ausführungsbeispielen gemeinsam sind. Anschließend daran wird dann auf die Unterschiede eingegangen.First, features are described below that all Embodiments are common. Then it will then went into the differences.

Da der Stiel 1 des Schlägers in allen Darstellungen abgebrochen gezeigt ist, sei hier darauf hingewiesen, daß der Stiel 1 kürzer als der eines Eishockeyschlägers und steiler als dieser angestellt ist. Der Schläger ist zudem sehr leicht gebaut, so daß er im wesentlichen einarmig sowohl mit Vorhand als auch mit Rückhand spielbar ist. Gespielt wird mit einem Schaumstoffball von mindestens 5 cm Durchmesser. Diese Kombination Leichtschläger - Schaumstoffball macht das Spiel relativ ungefährlich, da sowohl die Verletzungsgefahr der Spieler untereinander durch das Hantieren mit dem Schläger als auch die Gefahr von Personen- oder Sachschäden durch den Softball sehr gering ist.Since the handle 1 of the racket broken off in all representations is shown here, it should be noted that the handle 1 shorter than that of an ice hockey stick and steeper than this is employed. The racket is also very light, so that he is essentially one-armed with both forehand and backhand is playable. The game is played with a foam ball from at least 5 cm in diameter. This combination light racket - Foam ball makes the game relatively safe because both the risk of injury to each other from the handling with the racket as well as the risk of personal injury or Property damage from the softball is very low.

Die Schlagfläche 2 der Schläger ist gerahmt. Sie hat etwa die Größe und die Form der Schlagfläche eines Tennisschlägers. Aus der Zeichnung geht hervor, daß der Rahmen 3 in seinem unteren Bereich an seiner Vorderseite beginnend bei gleichzeitig zunehmender Stärke allmählich breiter wird, um dann, etwa ab der Mitte, wieder schmaler zu werden. Durch diese Ausbildung ist der Rahmen 3 an seiner Unterseite, also in dem Bereich, der beim Spielen Bodenkontakt bekommt, verstärkt. Zudem ist der Rahmen 3 aus einem verschleißfesten Material gefertigt.The face 2 of the racket is framed. She has about that Size and shape of the face of a tennis racket. Out the drawing shows that the frame 3 in its lower region starting at its front and increasing at the same time Starch gradually becomes wider, then from about the middle to become narrower again. This training is the framework 3 at its bottom, i.e. in the area that is in contact with the ground when playing gets amplified. In addition, the frame 3 is made of one wear-resistant material.

Wie am besten aus den Figuren 1.1, 2.1 und 3.1 hervorgeht, nimmt die Stärke des Rahmens in seinem unteren Breich von seinem vorderen Ende bis zu seinem stielseitigen Ende ständig zu. Der Rahmen 3 läuft dort nach oben in einen Einsteckansatz 4 für den Stiel 1 aus. Dieser Einsteckansatz 4 besitzt eine Sackbohrung 5 mit einem Zylinderzapfen 6 am Bohrungsgrund. Der Stiel 1 ist in die Sackbohrung 5 ein- und auf den Zapfen 6 aufsteckbar. Er kann in die Sackbohrung 5 eingeklebt werden, um eine dauerhaft feste Verbindung mit der Schlagfläche 2 herzustellen, oder aber, wenn eine lösbare Verbindung vorgezogen wird, mit dieser z.B. versplintet oder verschraubt werden. Ebenso möglich ist natürlich eine einstückige Ausbildung von Schlagfläche 2 und Stiel 1. As best seen in Figures 1.1, 2.1 and 3.1, takes the strength of the frame in its lower range from its front end to its stem-side end constantly. The frame 3 runs up there in an insertion lug 4 for the stem 1 out. This insertion lug 4 has a blind hole 5 with a cylinder pin 6 on the bottom of the bore. The stem 1 is in the blind hole 5 and plugged into the pin 6. He can be glued into the blind hole 5 in order to make it permanently firm Establish connection with the face 2, or if a detachable connection is preferred, e.g. keyed or screwed. It is also possible, of course a one-piece design of the face 2 and stem 1.

Aus den Schnittdarstellungen gemäß den Fig. 1.2, 2.2, und 3.2 geht hervor, daß der Rahmen 3 in seinem unteren Bereich auf seiner Innenseite beidseitig der Schlagfläche 2 konkav ausgebildet ist und mit der Rahmenunterseite beidseitig jeweils unter einem spitzen Winkel zusammenläuft. Diese Ausbildung ermöglicht es, einen auf dem Boden liegenden oder rollenden Ball besser heben zu können.From the sectional views according to FIGS. 1.2, 2.2 and 3.2 shows that the frame 3 in its lower region its inside is concave on both sides of the face 2 and with the underside of the frame on both sides under one acute angle converges. This training enables better to lift a ball lying or rolling on the floor can.

Nachdem oben stehend die allen drei Ausführungsbeispielen gemeinsamen Merkmalen beschrieben wurden, wird nachstehend auf die Unterschiede eingegangen.According to the above, the common to all three exemplary embodiments Features have been described below on the Differences entered.

Der Schläger gemäß den Fig. 1.1 bis 1.4 hat eine gegitterte, ebene Schlagfläche 2. Die Gitterung kann aus einem starren Kunststoffgitter bestehen, wobei es dann herstellungstechnisch sinnvoll ist, den Rahmen 3 und das Kunststoffgitter als einstückiges Spritzgußteil auszuführen. Sie kann aber auch durch eine Besaitung, die im Rahmen 3 gespannt ist, wie das vom Tennisschläger her bekannt ist, geschaffen werden.1.1 to 1.4 has a latticed, flat face 2. The grid can be made of a rigid plastic grid exist, then it makes sense from a manufacturing point of view is the frame 3 and the plastic grid as one piece Perform injection molding. But it can also be done by stringing, which is excited in frame 3, like that of the tennis racket is known to be created.

Der Schläger gemäß den Fig. 2.1 bis 2.4 hat ebenfalls eine gegitterte Schlagfläche 2. Diese besteht aus zwei sich kreuzenden, ebenen Saitenflächen. Dazu sind die im wesentlichen lozrecht verlaufenden Saiten jeder Fläche, wie am besten aus Fig. 2.2 ersichtlich ist, zwischen dem linken oberen Rand des Rahmens 3 und dem rechten unteren Rand des Rahmens 3 bzw. zwischen dem rechten oberen Rand des Rahmens 3 und dem linken unteren Rand des Rahmens 3 gespannt. Im Ergebnis ergibt sich im wesentlichen eine auf beiden Seiten konkave Schlagfläche 2. Diese Ausbildung der Schlagfläche 2 ermöglicht es bei entsprechender Schlagtechnik, das Schlagen des Balls schräg nach oben oder nach unten zu unterstützen. The racket according to FIGS. 2.1 to 2.4 also has one latticed face 2. This consists of two intersecting, flat string surfaces. For this, they are essentially lozrecht strings of each surface, as best seen in Fig. 2.2 is, between the upper left edge of the frame 3 and the lower right edge of the frame 3 or between the right upper edge of the frame 3 and the lower left edge of the frame 3 excited. The result is essentially one on both Sides concave face 2. This formation of the face 2, with the appropriate striking technique, enables Support hitting the ball diagonally up or down.

Bei dem Schläger gemäß den Fig. 3.1 bis 3.4 besteht die Schlagfläche 2 ebenfalls aus einem Kunststoffgitter, welches jedoch eine geschlossene Mittelfäche 7 aufweist. Diese Mittelfläche 7 kann beispielsweise optisch ansprechend bedruckt oder als Werbeträger benutzt werden.In the racket according to FIGS. 3.1 to 3.4 Face 2 also made of a plastic grid, which however, has a closed central surface 7. This middle surface 7 can, for example, be printed in a visually appealing manner be used as an advertising medium.

Neben den in der Zeichnung dargestellten Ausführungsbeispielen sind natürlich noch zahlreiche weitere Varianten von erfindungsgemäß ausgeführten Schlägern vorstellbar. So konnte der Stiel 1 an seinem unteren Ende, der Schlagflächenkontur folgend, in eine nach vorn bzw. oben offenen Rinne auslaufen. Das ist am besten vorstellbar, wenn man z. B. die Fig. 1.1 betrachtet und sich den Einsteckansatz 4 mit dem sich daran anschließenden verstärkten Rahmen 3 als integrale Bestandteile des Stiels 1 vorstellt. Der Rahmen 3 wäre in diesem Fall auf seinem gesamten Umfang gleich stark ausgebildet und wird in die offene U-förmige Rinne des Stielauslaufs eingesteckt und dort arretiert. Der Stielauslauf bildet in diesem Falle die bodenseitige Verstärkung des Schlägers. Diese Ausführungsform des Schlägers ermöglicht einen Austausch bzw. Wechsel der Schlagfläche 2.In addition to the embodiments shown in the drawing there are of course numerous other variants of the invention performed rackets imaginable. So he could Handle 1 at its lower end, following the contour of the face, run into a channel that is open towards the front or upwards. That is on best imaginable if you As viewed in Fig. 1.1 and the insertion approach 4 with the subsequent reinforced Introduces frame 3 as an integral part of the stem 1. In this case, the frame 3 would be on its entire scope trained equally and is in the open U-shaped Groove of the stem outlet inserted and locked there. The In this case, the stem outlet forms the reinforcement on the bottom of the racket. This embodiment of the racket enables one Exchange or change of the face 2.

Bei dem Schläger gemäß den Fig. 1.1 bis 1.4 wäre ein Austausch des dargestellten Kunststoffgitters ebenfalls möglich. Dazu müßte der Rahmen 3 in der Schlagflächenebene geschlitzt werden, und zwar in seinem oberen Bereich durchgehend und in seinem stielseitigen und unteren Bereich nicht durchgehend, d.h., der Schlitz bildet in den letztgenannten Bereichen eine in Rahmenmitte verlaufende Rinne in der Breite des Kunststoffgitters. Die Tiefe der Rinne muß so bemessen sein, daß das Kunststoffgitter sicheren seitlichen Halt hat. Das Kunststoffgitter kann dann von oben in den Schlitz eingeschoben werden, bis es in der Rinne im Rahmen 3 fest siezt. Es liegt dann in seinem Randbereich auf dem gesamten Umfang beidseitig an Rahmen 3 an. Der Schlitz im Rahmen 3 kann, nachdem die Schlagfläche 2 eingeschoben wurde, z.B. durch ein T-förmiges flexibles Eindrückband geschlossen werden.In the racket according to FIGS. 1.1 to 1.4 there would be an exchange of the plastic grid shown is also possible. To the frame 3 would have to be slotted in the face plane, and that in its upper area continuously and in its stalk-side and lower area not continuous, i.e., the In the latter areas, a slot forms in the center of the frame running channel in the width of the plastic grid. The The depth of the gutter must be such that the plastic grille has a secure lateral hold. The plastic grid can then be inserted into the slot at the top until it is in the groove in the Frame 3 firmly sealed. It then lies on the edge of the entire circumference on both sides of frame 3. The slot in the frame 3 can after the striking surface 2 has been inserted, e.g. through a T-shaped flexible indentation band can be closed.

Es ist sinnvoll, den Schläger mit einem Teleskopstiel auszurüsten, um die Stiellänge an die Spielergröße anpassen zu können, die sich auch schon dadurch ändert, wenn anstelle zu Fuß z. B. auf Rollerblades gespielt wird.It makes sense to equip the racket with a telescopic handle, to be able to adjust the handle length to the player size, which already changes if, instead of walking z. B. is played on roller blades.
