Arrière-plan de l'inventionBackground of the invention

La présente invention a trait au domaine des équipements de sport, en particulier les sports se jouant sur une aire de jeu, et notamment les sports de raquettes.The present invention relates to the field of sports equipment, especially sports playing on a playground, including sports rackets.

Elle concerne plus précisément un équipement de sport destiné à être déployé au sol pour partager deux aires de jeu.More specifically, it relates to a sports equipment intended to be deployed on the ground to share two playgrounds.

De manière générale, il est connu des équipements de sport comportant une structure transportable supportant un lien ou un filet. Ces structures comprennent deux potences indépendantes et distantes l'une de l'autre, entre lesquelles sont installées un lien ou un filet permettant de séparer les aires de jeu.In general, sports equipment is known comprising a transportable structure supporting a link or a net. These structures comprise two independent brackets and distant from each other, between which are installed a link or net to separate the playgrounds.

L'un des inconvénients de ce type d'équipement est la difficulté à mettre le lien en tension.One of the disadvantages of this type of equipment is the difficulty in putting the link in tension.

Il est connu, également, des équipements de sport, tel que décrit dans le document US 5,018,746 . Ce dernier divulgue un ensemble de jeu comportant un filet et un support de filet comprenant une base dans laquelle sont emboités des tubes à chacune des extrémités de la base. Chacun des tubes reçoit à son extrémité supérieure, un premier tube prolongateur comprenant un alésage traversé par un cordon dont l'extrémité est nouée. Pour réaliser le montage complet de la structure, il est nécessaire d'agir sur le cordon afin de le tendre et simultanément le raccorder au second tube prolongateur.It is also known sports equipment, as described in the document US 5,018,746 . The latter discloses a set of game comprising a net and a net support comprising a base in which are nested tubes at each end of the base. Each tube receives at its upper end, a first extension tube comprising a bore through which a cord whose end is knotted. To complete the assembly of the structure, it is necessary to act on the cord in order to tension it and simultaneously connect it to the second extension tube.

La figure 5e du document US 5,018,746 décrit la structure démontée ou l'ensemble des pièces sont désolidarisées les unes des autres.The figure 5e of the document US 5,018,746 describes the disassembled structure or all the parts are separated from each other.

Cet équipement présente toutefois l'inconvénient d'être long et difficile à monter et à démonter.This equipment however has the disadvantage of being long and difficult to assemble and disassemble.

Objet et résumé de l'inventionObject and summary of the invention

Un but de l'invention est de proposer un équipement de sport qui remédie aux inconvénients précités. L'invention a notamment pour but d'améliorer le déploiement et le pliage de l'équipement de sport.An object of the invention is to provide a sports equipment that overcomes the aforementioned drawbacks. The invention particularly aims to improve the deployment and folding of sports equipment.

Ce but est atteint par le fait que l'équipement de sport selon l'invention, qui est destiné à être déployé sur le sol pour partager deux aires de jeu, est du type comportant un piètement comprenant au moins deux arcs espacés, reposant sur le sol, inclinés l'un vers l'autre et rattachés l'un à l'autre en deux points espacés, au-dessus du sol, un lien maintenant les deux arcs tendus de façon ascendante et lesdits arcs reposant sur le sol au voisinage de leurs parties médianes respectives, chaque arc comprenant plusieurs segments connectés bout à bout par des articulations blocables, et lesdits arcs sont déployés, en position d'utilisation, de telle façon que lesdites articulations sont maintenues bloquées par la tension dudit lien.This object is achieved by the fact that the sports equipment according to the invention, which is intended to be deployed on the ground to share two playing areas, is of the type comprising a base comprising at least two spaced arcs, resting on the ground, inclined towards each other and attached to one another at two spaced apart points, above the ground, a link maintaining the two arches stretched upwardly and said arches resting on the ground in the vicinity of their respective median parts, each arc comprising several segments connected end to end by blockable joints, and said arcs are deployed, in use position, such that said joints are kept blocked by the tension of said link.

Ainsi, lorsque l'utilisateur souhaite déployer l'équipement de sport, il le pose tout d'abord au sol. Chaque segment articulé est déplié longitudinalement. Le piètement ainsi déplié, est ensuite retourné. Le piètement est ensuite courbé afin d'obtenir deux arcs rattachés l'un à l'autre en deux points espacés. Le lien initialement raccordé à chacune des extrémités du piètement permet une mise en tension de l'ensemble de l'équipement de manière aisée.Thus, when the user wants to deploy the sports equipment, he puts it first on the ground. Each articulated segment is unfolded longitudinally. The base thus unfolded, is then returned. The base is then bent to obtain two arches attached to one another at two spaced points. The link initially connected to each end of the base makes it easy to tension all the equipment.

On comprend, par ailleurs, que les articulations de l'équipement de sport sont donc maintenues bloquées par la tension appliquée par le lien à l'ensemble de l'équipement.It is understood, moreover, that the joints of the sports equipment are thus kept blocked by the voltage applied by the link to all the equipment.

On obtient donc un piétement courbé dont les articulations sont dans une position de blocage. Comme les articulations sont en position de blocage, ce sont les segments qui se courbent pour former les arcs rattachés l'un à l'autre en deux points espacés.We thus obtain a curved base whose joints are in a locking position. As the joints are in the locking position, it is the segments that bend to form the arches attached to one another at two spaced points.

Lorsque l'utilisateur souhaite ranger son équipement de sport, il va diminuer la tension du lien, sans pour autant séparer le lien du piètement, de manière qu'il puisse plier les segments les uns par rapport aux autres, au moyen des articulations.When the user wants to store his sports equipment, it will reduce the tension of the link, without separating the link from the base, so that it can bend the segments relative to each other, by means of the joints.

De préférence, deux segments consécutifs reliés par une des articulations sont sensiblement dans le prolongement l'un de l'autre lorsque cette articulation est dans une position prédéterminée de blocage.Preferably, two consecutive segments connected by one of the joints are substantially in the extension of one another when the joint is in a predetermined locking position.

De préférence, dans un autre mode de réalisation, deux segments consécutifs reliés par une des articulations peuvent former un angle α compris entre 90° et 180°.Preferably, in another embodiment, two consecutive segments connected by one of the joints may form an angle α of between 90 ° and 180 °.

De manière avantageuse, une articulation reliant les extrémités voisines de deux segments consécutifs d'un arc précité, comprend deux embouts rattachés respectivement à ces extrémités, et chaque embout comporte au moins une branche de chape et ces branches sont reliées par un même tourillon transversal.Advantageously, an articulation connecting the adjacent ends of two consecutive segments of a bow mentioned above, comprises two endpieces attached respectively to these ends, and each end has at least one clevis leg and these branches are connected by a same transverse trunnion.

De préférence, les deux embouts sont conformés pour qu'au moins un chant d'une branche de chape d'un embout vienne en butée contre un épaulement correspondant défini au voisinage de la base d'une branche de chape de l'autre embout, permettant le blocage de ladite articulation.Preferably, the two end pieces are shaped so that at least one edge of a clevis leg of a bit comes into abutment against a corresponding shoulder defined in the vicinity of the base of a clevis leg of the other end, allowing the locking of said articulation.

De manière avantageuse, l'équipement de sport comprend des éléments formant des pieds fixés aux embouts situés par rapport aux extrémités d'un segment médian de chaque arc. Ainsi, les pieds offrent une stabilité accrue de l'équipement de sport arc-bouté. Ils évitent ainsi que l'équipement ne bascule selon la courbure des arcs formés.Advantageously, the sports equipment comprises elements forming feet fixed to the ends located relative to the ends of a median segment of each arc. Thus, the feet provide increased stability of the sports equipment braced. They avoid that the equipment does not tilt according to the curvature of the arcs formed.

De préférence, l'équipement de sport comprend en outre un filet associé audit lien.Preferably, the sports equipment further comprises a net associated with said link.

De manière avantageuse, le filet comprend des moyens de tension entre la partie inférieure du filet et des éléments du piétement. Ainsi la partie inférieure du filet est également maintenue.Advantageously, the net comprises tensioning means between the lower part of the net and elements of the base. Thus the lower part of the net is also maintained.

Avantageusement, les deux arcs sont rattachés l'un à l'autre par deux pièces de liaison situées respectivement aux deux points espacés précités et chaque pièce de liaison comporte deux tronçons fixés aux portions d'extrémité rejointes des deux arcs.Advantageously, the two arcs are attached to each other by two connecting pieces located respectively at the two aforementioned spaced points and each connecting piece comprises two sections attached to the end portions joined to the two arcs.

De manière avantageuse, un passant de boucle est relié à au moins l'une des pièces de liaison, recevant une sangle formant une extrémité correspondante dudit lien.Advantageously, a loop loop is connected to at least one of the connecting pieces, receiving a strap forming a corresponding end of said link.

De préférence, au moins un écarteur est monté entre les deux arcs.Preferably, at least one spacer is mounted between the two arcs.

Selon un mode de réalisation non limitatif, un écarteur formant embase est intercalé entre deux segments médians respectifs des deux arcs.According to a nonlimiting embodiment, a spacer forming a base is interposed between two respective median segments of the two arcs.

Avantageusement, l'écarteur formant embase comporte deux bords parallèles conformés pour s'emboiter sur lesdits segments médians.Advantageously, the spacer forming a base comprises two parallel edges shaped to fit on said middle segments.

De préférence au moins un tel écarteur est intercalé entre deux articulations blocables des deux arcs, respectivement.Preferably at least one such spacer is interposed between two blockable joints of the two arcs, respectively.

Selon un mode de réalisation non limitatif, au moins un tel écarteur comporte deux branches articulées en ciseau entre elles et respectivement reliées à des articulations blocables des deux arcs.According to a non-limiting embodiment, at least one such spacer has two branches articulated in a chisel between them and respectively connected to blockable joints of the two arcs.

Selon un mode de réalisation non limitatif, au moins un tel écarteur comporte deux branches, coulissant l'une par rapport à l'autre, reliées à des articulations blocables des deux arcs.According to a non-limiting embodiment, at least one such spacer has two branches, sliding relative to each other, connected to blockable joints of the two arcs.

Ainsi on comprend que les écarteurs ont pour avantage de maintenir un écartement constant entre les deux arcs et participent à la stabilité de l'équipement de sport.Thus, it is understood that the spacers have the advantage of maintaining a constant spacing between the two arcs and participate in the stability of the sports equipment.

Selon un mode de réalisation non limitatif, l'équipement de sport peut être immobilisé au sol.According to a non-limiting embodiment, the sports equipment can be immobilized on the ground.

Description détaillée de l'inventionDetailed description of the invention

Sur les figures 1 à 3 , on a représenté un équipement de sport destiné à être déployé sur le sol pour partager deux aires de jeu. Dans cet exemple, l'équipement de sport S comporte un piètement 3 comprenant deux arcs 2, 4 espacés reposant sur le sol, inclinés l'un vers l'autre et rattachés l'un à l'autre par leurs extrémités 15 en deux points espacés, au-dessus du sol. Il comporte en outre un lien 6 maintenant les deux arcs 2, 4 tendus de façon ascendante, de sorte que les arcs 2,4 reposent sur le sol au voisinage de leurs parties médianes respectives. Le lien s'étend entre les deux extrémités 15 du piètement arqué. En tendant le lien 6, on rapproche les deux points l'un de l'autre. Chaque arc comprend plusieurs segments 20 connectés bout à bout par des articulations 1 blocables, et lesdits arcs 2, 4 sont déployés, en position d'utilisation, de façon que lesdites articulations sont maintenues bloquées par la tension dudit lien 6. On the Figures 1 to 3 , there is shown a sports equipment intended to be deployed on the ground to share two playgrounds. In this example, the sports equipment S comprises a base 3 comprising two arcs 2, 4 spaced apart resting on the ground, inclined towards each other and attached to one another by their ends 15 at two spaced apart points, above the ground. It further comprises a link 6 holding the two arches 2, 4 stretched upwardly, so that the arches 2.4 rest on the ground in the vicinity of their respective median portions. The link extends between the two ends 15 of the arcuate base. By stretching the link 6, we bring the two points closer to each other. Each arc comprises several segments 20 connected end-to-end by blockable articulations 1 , and said arcs 2, 4 are deployed, in the position of use, so that said articulations are kept blocked by the tension of said link 6.

Sur les figures 2a à 2e , on a représenté les étapes de dépliage du piètement 3. Ainsi on comprend qu'au départ, sur la figure 2a , les segments 20 articulés sont pliés les uns sur les autres de manière à présenter une structure compacte. On constate sur les figures 2b à 2e qu'on déplie alors les segments 20 les uns après les autres jusqu'à obtenir le piètement 3 complètement déplié. Il s'étend alors de façon sensiblement rectiligne.On the 2a to 2e , we have shown the unfolding steps of the base 3. So we understand that at the beginning, on the figure 2a The articulated segments 20 are folded over each other so as to have a compact structure. We see on Figures 2b to 2e the segments 20 are then unfolded one after the other until the base 3 is completely unfolded. It then extends substantially rectilinearly.

A l'inverse, pour replier l'équipement, l'utilisateur doit retrouver la configuration illustrée en figure 2e . Ainsi, l'utilisateur procède en sens inverse du dépliage, il peut plier les segments les uns sur les autres selon les articulations 1. L'utilisateur obtient une structure compacte de l'ensemble des segments articulés.Conversely, to fold the equipment, the user must find the configuration illustrated in figure 2e . Thus, the user proceeds in the opposite direction of unfolding, it can bend the segments on each other according to the joints 1. The user obtains a compact structure of all articulated segments.

Comme on le constate sur les figures 1 , 4 et 5 , dans chaque arc, deux segments consécutifs 20 sont reliés l'un à l'autre par une articulation 1. Cette articulation 1 comprend deux embouts 8 rattachés respectivement à ces extrémités, chaque embout 8 comportant au moins une branche de chape 10, ces branches étant reliées par un même tourillon 12 transversal.As can be seen from the figures 1 , 4 and 5 In each arc, two consecutive segments 20 are connected to each other by a joint 1. The joint 1 includes two end pieces 8 attached respectively to these ends, each end piece 8 having at least one yoke arm 10, these branches being connected by a same transverse pin 12 .

Ainsi les articulations 1 peuvent s'ouvrir pour former un angle maximal de 180°. L'articulation 1 est ouverte à son maximum et elle se retrouve dans une position de blocage. On comprend par ailleurs que les articulations 1 de l'équipement de sport sont maintenues bloquées par la tension appliquée par le lien 6 à l'ensemble de l'équipement.Thus the joints 1 can open to form a maximum angle of 180 °. Joint 1 is open at its maximum and it is found in a blocking position. It is also understood that the joints 1 of the sports equipment are kept blocked by the voltage applied by the link 6 to all the equipment.

Ainsi, dans ce mode de réalisation, on constate que deux segments 20 consécutifs reliés par une des articulations 1 sont sensiblement dans le prolongement l'un de l'autre lorsque cette articulation 1 est dans une position prédéterminée de blocage, et avant mise en tension du lien 6. Thus, in this embodiment, it is found that two consecutive segments 20 connected by one of the joints 1 are substantially in the extension of one another when the hinge 1 is in a predetermined locking position, and before tensioning link 6.

En outre, dans un autre mode de réalisation, non limitatif, deux segments 20 consécutifs reliés par une des articulations peuvent former un angle α compris entre 90° et 180°. On comprend, ainsi, qu'il est possible d'obtenir une hauteur du lien 6 plus élevée, pour une même tension dudit lien, quand l'angle α formé entre deux segments 20 est inférieur à 180°, et lorsque les articulations 1 sont dans une position prédéterminée de blocage.In addition, in another non-limiting embodiment, two consecutive segments 20 connected by one of the joints may form an angle α of between 90 ° and 180 °. It is thus understood that it is possible to obtain a higher link height 6 , for the same voltage of said link, when the angle α formed between two segments 20 is less than 180 °, and when the joints 1 are in a predetermined blocking position.

Selon l'invention, les deux embouts 8 sont conformés pour qu'au moins un chant 14 d'une branche de chape 10 d'un embout 8 vienne en butée contre un épaulement 16 correspondant défini au voisinage de la base d'une branche de chape de l'autre embout, permettant le blocage de ladite articulation 1. En d'autres termes, l'articulation 1 ne peut donc pas être d'avantage ouverte.According to the invention, the two end pieces 8 are shaped so that at least one edge 14 of a clevis leg 10 of a tip 8 abuts against a shoulder 16 corresponding defined in the vicinity of the base of a branch of clevis of the other end, allowing the locking of said hinge 1. In other words, the hinge 1 can not be advantageously open.

Ainsi, après avoir déplié les segments, l'utilisateur retourne le piètement 3, pour le faire reposer sur des pieds 18. En outre, le lien 6 est initialement installé sur le piètement 3. Thus, after unfolding the segments, the user returns the base 3, to make it rest on feet 18. In addition, the link 6 is initially installed on the base 3.

Le piètement 3 est ensuite plié en arc en rapprochant les extrémités 15 l'une de l'autre.The base 3 is then bent in an arc by bringing the ends 15 closer to each other.

En d'autres termes, comme les articulations 1 sont dans une position de blocage et comme elles ne peuvent pas être ouvertes d'avantages, le pliage du piètement 3 provoque le pliage des segments 20, ce qui donne une forme d'arche au piètement 3. In other words, as the joints 1 are in a locking position and as they can not be opened advantages, the folding of the base 3 causes the folding of the segments 20, which gives an arch shape to the base 3.

En outre, sur les figures 6 et 9 , on peut remarquer que les pieds 18 sont fixés aux embouts 8 situés aux extrémités d'un segment médian 20a de chaque arc 2,4. On comprend que les pieds 18 offrent une stabilité accrue de l'équipement de sport arc-bouté. Ils évitent ainsi que l'équipement ne bascule selon la courbure des arcs 2,4 formés.In addition, figures 6 and 9 , It can be seen that the feet 18 are attached to end caps 8 at the ends of a central segment 20a of each arc 2.4. It is understood that the feet 18 provide increased stability of the sports equipment braced. They avoid that the equipment does not tilt according to the curvature of the arcs 2,4 formed.

De préférence, l'équipement de sport comprend un filet 22 associé audit lien 6. En outre, le filet comprend des moyens de tension entre la partie inférieure du filet 22 et des éléments du piétement 3. On comprend que le filet restera dans une position relativement verticale et qu'il n'aura pas tendance à voler au vent lors d'une utilisation en plein air.Preferably, the sports equipment comprises a net 22 associated with said link 6. In addition, the net comprises tensioning means between the lower part of the net 22 and elements of the base 3. It is understood that the net will remain in a position relatively vertical and will not tend to fly in the wind when used outdoors.

De manière non limitative, sur la figure 1 , les moyens de tension, compris entre la partie inférieure du filet 22 et des éléments du piétement 3, peuvent être des cordons 5 coopérant avec un écarteur 30 intercalé entre deux articulations 1 blocables des deux arcs 2, 4. L'écarteur 30 comporte une partie centrale 30b sur laquelle une ouverture 30c est réalisée. Une extrémité libre d'un cordon 5 passe au travers de l'ouverture 30c. On comprend que l'écarteur 30 permet de maintenir un écart constant entre les deux arcs 2,4. Cet écart constant entre les deux arcs 2,4 participe à une meilleure stabilité de l'équipement de sport.Without limitation, on the figure 1 , the tensioning means, between the lower part of the thread 22 and elements of the base 3, may be cords 5 cooperating with a spacer 30 interposed between two blockable joints 1 of the two arcs 2, 4. The spacer 30 comprises a central portion 30b on which an opening 30c is made. A free end of a cord 5 passes through the opening 30c. It will be understood that the spacer 30 makes it possible to maintain a constant distance between the two arcs 2,4. This constant gap between the two arcs 2.4 contributes to a better stability of the sports equipment.

Dans cet exemple non limitatif, on peut remarquer sur les figures 1 et 11 que les extrémités des deux arcs 2,4 sont rattachées l'une à l'autre par deux pièces de liaison 24 situées respectivement aux deux points espacés précités et chaque pièce de liaison 24 comporte deux tronçons fixés aux portions d'extrémité rejointes des deux arcs 2,4. In this non-limiting example, we can notice on the figures 1 and 11 that the ends of the two arcs 2,4 are attached to each other by two connecting pieces 24 located respectively at the two aforementioned spaced points and each connecting piece 24 has two sections attached to the end portions joined the two arcs 2.4.

On constate, sur la figure 7 , qu'un passant de boucle 26, est relié à au moins l'une des pièces de liaison 24, recevant une sangle 27 formant une extrémité correspondante dudit lien 6. On the figure 7 , that a loop loop 26, is connected to at least one of the connecting pieces 24, receiving a strap 27 forming a corresponding end of said link 6.

Ainsi, il est aisé de réaliser la mise en tension de l'équipement de sport. Il suffit à l'utilisateur de tirer sur la sangle 27, pour tendre à la fois le lien 6, le filet 22 associé et le piètement 3 qui va s'arc-bouter et prendre la forme d'une arche s'ouvrant vers le ciel.Thus, it is easy to realize the tensioning of the sports equipment. It is sufficient for the user to pull on the strap 27, to tighten at a time the link 6, the net 22 associated and the base 3 which will be arched and take the form of an arch opening to the sky.

A l'inverse, pour diminuer la tension appliquée à l'ensemble de l'équipement, l'utilisateur pourra agir sur le passant de boucle 26 afin de déverrouiller la sangle 27. Conversely, to reduce the voltage applied to all the equipment, the user can act on the loop loop 26 to unlock the strap 27.

Comme on peut le constater sur les figures 1 , 8 et 10 , l'équipement de sport comprend au moins l'écarteur 30 monté entre les deux arcs 2,4. Au moins l'écarteur 30 est intercalé entre deux articulations 1 blocables des deux arcs 2,4, respectivement.As can be seen from the figures 1 , 8 and 10 , the sports equipment comprises at least the spacer 30 mounted between the two arches 2,4. At least the spacer 30 is interposed between two articulations 1 blockable two arcs 2,4, respectively.

Selon un mode réalisation non limitatif, non représenté, un tel écarteur 30 comporte deux branches articulées en ciseau entre elles et respectivement reliées à des articulations 1 blocables des deux arcs. On comprend que lorsque l'écarteur 30 est replié, l'écartement entre les segments 20 diminue. Ainsi, lorsque l'équipement de sport est replié, il gagne en compacité.According to a non-limiting embodiment, not shown, such a spacer 30 has two branches articulated in a chisel between them and respectively connected to joints 1 blockable two arcs. It is understood that when the spacer 30 is folded, the spacing between the segments 20 decreases. Thus, when the sports equipment is folded, it gains in compactness.

Selon un autre mode de réalisation non limitatif, non représenté, au moins un tel écarteur comporte deux branches coulissant l'une par rapport à l'autre, et ayant un cran d'arrêt. Les deux branches d'un tel écarteur 30 sont reliées à des articulations 1 blocables des deux arcs 2,4. According to another non-limiting embodiment, not shown, at least one such spacer has two branches sliding relative to each other, and having a detent. The two branches of such a spacer 30 are connected to joints 1 blockable two arcs 2,4.

Selon un autre mode de réalisation non représenté, l'équipement de sport peut comprendre un écarteur formant embase, intercalé entre deux segments médians 20a respectifs des deux arcs 2,4. Ledit écarteur formant embase peut comporter deux bords parallèles conformés pour s'emboiter sur lesdits segments médians 20a. According to another embodiment not shown, the sports equipment may comprise a spacer forming a base, interposed between two respective middle segments 20a of the two arcs 2,4. Said spreader forming a base may comprise two parallel edges shaped to fit on said middle segments 20a.

Ainsi on comprend que les écarteurs ont notamment pour avantage de maintenir un écartement constant entre les deux arcs et participent à la stabilité de l'équipement de sport.Thus one understands that the spacers have the particular advantage of maintaining a constant spacing between the two arcs and participate in the stability of the sports equipment.
