Description

Domaine de l'inventionField of the invention

La présente invention concerne une table de jeu de balle au pied dit « baby foot » constituée par un caisson supportant une série de barres, parallèles entre elles et disposées perpendiculairement entre deux côtés latéraux de celui ci. Des tubes coulissants sont montés sur ces barres sur lesquelles sont disposés des éléments de frappe d'une balle simulant les joueurs. Les tubes sont, pendant le jeu, actionnés par l'intermédiaire de poignées.The present invention relates to a ball game table foot called "baby foot" consisting of a box supporting a series of bars, parallel to each other and arranged perpendicularly between two lateral sides thereof. Sliding tubes are mounted on these bars on which are placed striking elements of a ball simulating the players. The tubes are, during the game, operated via handles.

État de la techniqueState of the art

Le jeu de balle au pied dit « baby foot » consiste à faire pivoter des éléments de frappe autour d'une barre et/ou de les translater d'avant en arrière par coulissement. L'ensemble de ces deux mouvements conjugués permet de bloquer et de frapper la balle dans différentes directions avec plus ou moins de vigueur suivant la force initiale exercée sur les poignées. Dans l'état de la technique actuelle les éléments de frappe limitent les actions à une frappe plus ou moins orientée et le jeu de tête est inexistant. Il en est de même de l'impossibilité d'effectuer un jeu aérien tel que la chandelle ou « lob », de pouvoir conserver la balle entre les pieds du joueur dit « dribble » ou encore de frapper d'un pied ou de l'autre et ceci du fait que chaque élément de frappe ou joueur n'a qu'un pied monobloc. L'étendue des possibilités du football dont le jeu s'est inspiré semble donc très restrictif. Pour remédier à cela le document américain 5 605 328 décrit un élément de frappe comportant à sa partie inférieure un réceptacle formant deux zones frontales distinctes simulant les pieds d'un joueur.The ball game called "baby foot" is to rotate the strikers around a bar and / or translate them back and forth by sliding. The combination of these two movements allows to block and hit the ball in different directions with more or less vigor following the initial force exerted on the handles. In the current state of the art, the strike elements limit the actions to a more or less oriented strike and the head game is non-existent. It is the same for the impossibility of performing an aerial game such as the candle or "lob", to be able to keep the ball between the feet of the player said "dribble" or to hit a foot or the other and this because each impactor or player has only one foot monobloc. The extent of the possibilities of football which the game was inspired seems very restrictive. To remedy this, the American document 5 605 328 describes an impactor comprising at its lower part a receptacle forming two distinct frontal zones simulating the feet of a player.

Bien que ne concernant pas le même type de sport, en fait s'agissant de balle au panier dit «basket-bal »l et non de « football », le document américain US4260152 décrit une table de jeu de type « baby foot » mais mettant en oeuvre des éléments de lancement vers un panier incorporé à la table, comportant dans leurs parties inférieures un premier réceptacle permettant la préhension et l'éjection de la balle, se prolongeant par un chemin de roulement assurant le transfert de celle ci vers un second réceptacle situé à leurs extrémités supérieures, permettant son blocage puis son éjection par retournement de l'élément sur lui même autour de la barre.Although not about the same type of sport, in fact when it comes to basket ball, not football, the American document US4260152 describes a game table type "baby foot" but implementing launch elements to a basket incorporated in the table, having in their lower parts a first receptacle for gripping and ejection of the ball, extending by a raceway ensuring the transfer thereof to a second receptacle at their upper ends, allowing its blocking and ejection by turning the element on itself around the bar.

Selon les règles de ce sport il est uniquement recherché selon ce document, à prendre la balle et à la lancer vers le panier. Est exclu non seulement toute notion de frappe mais également toute possibilité de figures de « football » tels que « lobs », « dribbles » ou reprises de la tête évoqués précédemment.According to the rules of this sport it is only wanted according to this document, to take the ball and throw it towards the basket. Is excluded not just any concept of striking but also any possibility of "football" figures such as "lobs", "dribbles" or head resumes mentioned above.

Descriptif de l'inventionDescription of the invention

Dans le but de combiner toutes ces possibilités, l'invention concerne une table de jeu de balle au pied dit « baby foot » constitué par un caisson supportant une série de barres, parallèles entre elles et disposées perpendiculairement entre deux côtés latéraux de celui ci, des tubes coulissants étant montés sur ces barres sur lesquelles sont disposés des éléments de frappe d'une balle simulant les joueurs, les dits tubes étant susceptibles d'être actionnés par l'intermédiaire de poignées ; chacun des éléments de frappe comportent au moins à sa partie inférieure un réceptacle formant deux zones frontales distinctes simulant les pieds d'un joueur, CARACTÉRISÉE EN CE QUE le réceptacle formant la partie inférieure de l'élément de frappe simulant le joueur, se prolonge à sa partie supérieure par un second réceptacle simulant la tête du joueur permettant également la préhension et l'éjection de la balle par retournement de l'élément sur lui même autour de la barre, les deux réceptacles étant reliés entre eux par un chemin de roulement assurant le transfert de la balle de l'un vers l'autre, indifféremment dans un sens ou dans l'autre.In order to combine all these possibilities, the invention relates to a football table game called "foot football" consisting of a box supporting a series of bars, parallel to each other and arranged perpendicularly between two lateral sides thereof, sliding tubes being mounted on these bars on which are placed strike elements of a ball simulating the players, said tubes being able to be actuated via handles; each of the impactors comprises at least at its lower part a receptacle forming two distinct frontal zones simulating the feet of a player, CHARACTERIZED IN THAT the receptacle forming the lower part of the impactor simulating the player, extends to its upper part by a second receptacle simulating the player's head also for gripping and ejection of the ball by turning the element around itself around the bar, the two receptacles being interconnected by a raceway ensuring the transfer of the ball from one to the other, indifferently in one direction or the other.

La table de jeu 1 globalement désignée sur la figure 1 est constituée par un caisson 2 supportant une série de barres 3, parallèles entre elles et disposées perpendiculairement entre deux côtés latéraux 4 et 5 de celui ci, des tubes coulissants 8 étant montés sur ces barres 3 sur lesquelles sont disposés des éléments de frappe 6 d'une balle 7 simulant les joueurs, les dits tubes 8 étant actionnés par l'intermédiaire de poignées 9.The game table 1 generally designated on the figure 1 is constituted by a box 2 supporting a series of bars 3, parallel to each other and arranged perpendicularly between two lateral sides 4 and 5 thereof, sliding tubes 8 being mounted on these bars 3 on which are placed striking elements 6 of a ball 7 simulating the players, said tubes 8 being actuated via handles 9.

Selon une première caractéristique de l'invention chacun des éléments de frappe 6 comporte au moins à sa partie inférieure INF un réceptacle 10 formant deux zones frontales distinctes 11 et 12 simulant les pieds d'un joueur, de manière à frapper sur la balle 7 avec l'un ou l'autre ou « dribbler » selon une première fonction du réceptacle 10, tout en permettant la préhension et l'éjection de la balle 7 selon une seconde fonction du même réceptacle 10, pour effectuer une chandelle ou « lob ».According to a first characteristic of the invention, each of the striking elements 6 comprises at least at its lower part INF a receptacle 10 forming two distinct frontal zones 11 and 12 simulating the feet of a player, so as to strike on the ball 7 with one or the other or "dribble" according to a first function of the receptacle 10, while allowing the gripping and ejection of the bullet 7 according to a second function of the same receptacle 10, to make a candle or "lob".

Selon une seconde caractéristique de l'invention, le réceptacle 10 formant la partie inférieure INF de l'élément de frappe 6 simulant le joueur, se prolonge à sa partie supérieure SUP par un second réceptacle 13 simulant la tête du joueur permettant également la préhension et l'éjection de la balle 7 par retournement de l'élément 6 sur lui même autour de la barre 3, les deux réceptacles 10 et 13 étant reliés entre eux par un chemin de roulement 14, 15 assurant le transfert de la balle 7 de l'un 10 vers l'autre 13, indifféremment dans un sens ou dans l'autre.According to a second characteristic of the invention, the receptacle 10 forming the lower part INF of the impactor 6 simulating the player, extends to its upper part SUP by a second receptacle 13 simulating the player's head also for gripping and the ejection of the ball 7 by turning the element 6 on itself around the bar 3, the two receptacles 10 and 13 being connected together by a raceway 14, 15 ensuring the transfer of the ball 7 of the 10 to the other 13, indifferently in one direction or the other.

Selon le présent exemple de réalisation, l'élément de frappe 6 simulant le joueur est réalisé à partir d'un fil en matière métallique ou plastique conformé en U, définissant deux branches latérales 14, 15 parallèles entre elles. Les dites branches 14, 15 relient les deux réceptacles 10, 13 pour former le chemin de roulement de la balle 7. Les extrémités libres inférieures 14a, 15a des dites branches 14, 15 sont recourbées sur elles mêmes pour constituer à la fois les zones frontales de frappe 11 et 12 et le premier réceptacle 10, et se rejoignent à leurs autres extrémités supérieures pour former le second réceptacle 13.According to the present embodiment, the impactor 6 simulating the player is made from a metal wire or U-shaped plastic material, defining two lateral branches 14, 15 parallel to each other. Said branches 14, 15 connect the two receptacles 10, 13 to form the raceway of the ball 7. The lower free ends 14a, 15a of said branches 14, 15 are curved on themselves to form both the frontal areas 11 and 12 and the first receptacle 10, and meet at their other upper ends to form the second receptacle 13.

Avantageusement, les zones frontales 11 et 12 constituées par les zones recourbées 14a, 15a des extrémités libres des branches 14, 15 constituant le premier réceptacle 10 sont revêtues d'un bloc de frappe 16 et 17 aptes à restituer sa force sur la balle 7.Advantageously, the frontal zones 11 and 12 constituted by the curved zones 14a, 15a of the free ends of the branches 14, 15 constituting the first receptacle 10 are coated with a striking block 16 and 17 able to restore its force on the ball 7.

Préférentiellement, la face frontale des blocs 16 et 17 revêtant les extrémités libres 14a, 15a des branches 14, 15 du premier réceptacle 10 présente une dépouille « d » positive ou négative par rapport à une verticale xx' de référence, d'un angle α prédéterminé, pour obtenir des « lobs », des chandelles et des frappes aux trajectoires différentes. Il en est de même du second réceptacle 13 qui présente une dépouille d'. A noter également que les blocs de frappe 16 et 17 présentent sur leur côté interne des épaulements longitudinaux 21 et 22 destinés à former le réceptacle 10 et à y retenir la balle 7.Preferably, the front face of the blocks 16 and 17 coating the free ends 14a, 15a of the branches 14, 15 of the first receptacle 10 has a relief "d" positive or negative with respect to a reference vertical xx ', an angle α predetermined, to obtain "lobs", candles and strokes with different trajectories. It is the same for the second receptacle 13 which has a body of. Note also that the striking blocks 16 and 17 have on their inner side longitudinal shoulders 21 and 22 for forming the receptacle 10 and retaining the ball 7.

Bien entendu, comme l'illustre la figure 4 la face frontale des blocs 16 et 17 pourrait être droite.Of course, as illustrated by figure 4 the front face of the blocks 16 and 17 could be straight.

Selon une autre caractéristique de l'invention, un troisième bloc de frappe central 18 est interposé entre les deux branches 14, 15 de l'élément de frappe 6 constituant le joueur, en retrait des deux zones frontales de frappe 11 et 12.According to another characteristic of the invention, a third central striking block 18 is interposed between the two limbs 14, 15 of the striking element 6 constituting the player, set back from the two striking frontal zones 11 and 12.

Plus particulièrement, le bloc de frappe central 18 présente deux faces antérieure 18a et postérieure 18b inclinées selon des angles prédéterminés, de manière à permettre l'exécution d'un « lob ».More particularly, the central striking block 18 has two anterior faces 18a and posterior 18b inclined at predetermined angles, so as to allow the execution of a "lob".

Le second réceptacle 13 pourrait n'être constitué que par la simple extrémité du fil conformé en U formant l'élément de frappe 6, mais selon un perfectionnement de cette caractéristique il constitue un accessoire rapporté et coiffant l'extrémité horizontale ou courbe en U en fil métallique ou plastique formant l'élément de frappe 6, les bords latéraux du dit second réceptacle 13 étant également en forme de U ou d'oméga, et présente un fond 19 pour constituer une double cuvette.The second receptacle 13 could be constituted only by the single end of the U-shaped wire forming the impactor 6, but according to an improvement of this characteristic it constitutes an accessory reported and capping the horizontal end or U-shaped curve. wire or plastic forming the impactor 6, the side edges of said second receptacle 13 is also U-shaped or omega, and has a bottom 19 to form a double bowl.

Avantageusement, le fond 19 du second réceptacle supérieur 13 délimite une seconde cuvette de réception 13A de la balle 7 dirigée dans une direction opposée, contraire à la première 13, de manière à capter la balle 7 dans un sens de retournement de la barre 8, ou dans l'autre.Advantageously, the bottom 19 of the second upper receptacle 13 delimits a second receiving bowl 13A of the ball 7 directed in an opposite direction, contrary to the first 13, so as to capture the ball 7 in a direction of reversal of the bar 8, or in the other.

Ainsi, le second réceptacle de tête 13/13 A peut reprendre une balle 7 de front ou de nuque comme le montre la figure 9, la cinématique de frappe 6 au delà de sa fonction de frappe proprement dite est la suivante :

  • position I : préhension de la balle 7
  • position II : enlèvement de la balle 7 selon le sens F1 de l'élément 6 par rotation autour de la barre 3
  • position III : basculement de la balle 7 depuis le premier réceptacle 10 vers le second réceptacle 13 par l'intermédiaire du chemin de roulement 11 mis en inclinaison.
  • position IV : la balle 7 se trouvant alors dans le fond du second réceptacle 13, une force contrôlée d'éjection F2 est exercée par le joueur sur le tube coulissant 8 par rotation autour de la barre 3, par action manuelle sur la poignée 9. La balle 7 est alors éjectée et retourne dans le jeu.
Thus, the second head receptacle 13/13 A can take a bullet 7 from the front or neck as shown in FIG. figure 9 , the striking kinematics 6 beyond its actual striking function is as follows:
  • position I: gripping the ball 7
  • position II: removal of the ball 7 according to the direction F1 of the element 6 by rotation around the bar 3
  • position III: tilting of the ball 7 from the first receptacle 10 to the second receptacle 13 through the raceway 11 set inclination.
  • position IV: the ball 7 is then in the bottom of the second receptacle 13, a controlled ejection force F2 is exerted by the player on the sliding tube 8 by rotation around the bar 3, by manual action on the handle 9. The ball 7 is then ejected and returns to the game.

Optionnellement, une figurine 20 décorative ou publicitaire est insérée à la partie supérieure de l'élément de frappe 6 constituant le joueur, entre les fils métalliques ou plastiques 14, 15, et habille au moins le fond 19 de la cuvette supérieure 13 et 13A.Optionally, a decorative or advertising figure 20 is inserted at the top of the impactor 6 constituting the player, between the metal or plastic son 14, 15, and dresses at least the bottom 19 of the upper bowl 13 and 13A.

Il pourra s'agir d'une photographie, d'un dessin, d'un hologramme ou de tout graphisme publicitaire.It could be a photograph, a drawing, a hologram or any advertising graphic.

Comme le montre bien la figure 3, les blocs de frappe frontaux 16, 17 simulant les pieds d'un joueur, le bloc de frappe central 18, le second réceptacle supérieur 13 et 13A, et la figurine 20 sont obtenus par moulage d'une matière plastique ou métallique et comportent respectivement des moyens de clipage 16a, 17a-18c,18d-13a-20a qui leur sont propres et aptes à les rendre amovibles et interchangeables.As the figure 3 the frontal striking blocks 16, 17 simulating the feet of a player, the central striking block 18, the second upper receptacle 13 and 13A, and the figurine 20 are obtained by molding a plastic or metallic material and respectively comprise clipping means 16a, 17a-18c, 18d-13a-20a which are specific to them and able to make them removable and interchangeable.

Selon une variante de réalisation non représentée, l'élément de frappe 6 est réalisé à partir d'un profilé concave en matière métallique ou plastique dont les bords latéraux définissent le chemin de roulement et dont les extrémités sont conformées pour définir d'une part le premier réceptacle 10 et d'autre part le second réceptacle 13.According to an alternative embodiment not shown, the impactor 6 is made from a concave profile of metal or plastic material whose lateral edges define the raceway and whose ends are shaped to define on the one hand the first receptacle 10 and secondly the second receptacle 13.

Il est à noter que les les réceptacles 10 et 13 sont dirigés dans le même sens.It should be noted that the receptacles 10 and 13 are directed in the same direction.

Bien que non représentés, de façon optionnelle, les éléments de frappe 6 comportent des moyens d'adaptation sur des éléments existants.Although not shown, optionally, the impactors 6 comprise adaptation means on existing elements.
