Description

TAPIS DE PRACTICE
Description de l'invention, appelée brosse de practice de Golf
La demande de brevet et de protection ci-jointe, à pour objet la conception et la réalisation d'une brosse de practice pouvant servir dans tous les clubs de golf déjà équipés par des systèmes classiques ou non.
PRACTICE MATS
Description of the invention, called Golf practice brush
The attached patent and protection application relates to the design and production of a practice brush that can be used in all golf clubs already equipped with conventional systems or not.

Elle reprend les caractéristiques dimensionnelles et qualitatives de la brosse faisant l'objet du brevet n" 87 088 44 du 14/12/90.It incorporates the dimensional and qualitative characteristics of the brush which is the subject of patent No. 87 088 44 of 12/14/90.

Cependant, des modifications portant sur l'interchangeabilité des fibres entre elles, donc sur son procédé de fabrication nous impose la constitution d'un nouveau brevet.However, modifications relating to the interchangeability of the fibers between them, and therefore to its manufacturing process, requires the constitution of a new patent.

Il s'agit d'un ensemble solide, composé en partie inférieure d'un socle (A) et d'une partie supérieure souple (B) composée de fibres serties dans des réglettes linéaires.It is a solid assembly, composed in the lower part of a base (A) and a flexible upper part (B) composed of fibers crimped in linear strips.

Le socle (A) réalisé en matériau inoxydable au moyen d'une filière, est la pièce support réceptrice de l'ensemble des réglettes de fibres de la partie supérieure (B).The base (A) made of stainless material by means of a die, is the receiving support part of all the fiber strips of the upper part (B).

Sur la partie supérieure du socle une série de rainures linéaires (C) de section trapézoidale - 15 rainures par élément de 150 mm reçoivent les réglettes de fibres (D).On the upper part of the base a series of linear grooves (C) of trapezoidal section - 15 grooves per 150 mm element receive the fiber strips (D).

La tenue des ensembles dans le plan horizontal est créé par une glissière mâle-femelle le long de chacun des éléments.The holding of the sets in the horizontal plane is created by a male-female slide along each of the elements.

4 vis servent à fixer la butée (E) au bout des éléments (A) afin d'empécher les réglettes de glisser le long des rainures. 4 screws are used to fix the stop (E) at the end of the elements (A) in order to prevent the strips from sliding along the grooves.

L'ensemble une fois rigidifié et maintenu, équipé en partie supérieure par les réglettes de fibres enfilées sur toute la longueur de la pièce présente en surface (G) l'aspect d'une brosse classique souple et plane.Once rigidified and maintained, the assembly is equipped in the upper part with the strips of fibers threaded over the entire length of the part having on the surface (G) the appearance of a conventional flexible and flat brush.

L'avantage d'un tel assemblage, réside dans le fait qu'il autorise et facilite l'interchangeabilité des lignes de fibres entre elles.The advantage of such an assembly lies in the fact that it allows and facilitates the interchangeability of the lines of fibers between them.

En effet, la surface d'usure étant très limité sur une brosse de practice, il est aisé de procéder à la permutation des lignes de fibres entre elles, permettant outre une meilleure répartition de l'usure, une longévité des plus accrues.Indeed, the wear surface being very limited on a practice brush, it is easy to swap the lines of fibers between them, allowing in addition to a better distribution of wear, a more extended longevity.

Ainsi la brosse apporte une bien meilleure rentabilité à son utilisateur, car au lieu de changer un morceau entier de brosse relativement coûteux, il ne suffit plus que de changer une ou plusieurs lignes de fibres à la fois.Thus the brush brings a much better profitability to its user, because instead of changing an entire piece of relatively expensive brush, it is no longer sufficient to change one or more lines of fibers at a time.

Ce principe permet également, d'intégrer à volonté selon le choix de son utilisateur, une ou plusieurs lignes de fibres de couleur différente - blanche - à des fins pédagogiques.This principle also makes it possible to integrate at will according to the choice of its user, one or more lines of fibers of different color - white - for educational purposes.

Ce principe permet également de moduler la hauteur des fibres dépassantes sans avoir à modifier ni la forme, ni l'épaisseur du socle.This principle also makes it possible to modulate the height of the protruding fibers without having to modify either the shape or the thickness of the base.

Ainsi l'intégration dans les postes de practice déjà existant ne pose plus de problème, la hauteur totale de la brosse s'adaptant à tous les cas de figure.Thus integration into the existing practice stations no longer poses a problem, the total height of the brush adapting to all cases.

Comme il est possible de jouer sur la hauteur des fibres sans modification du socle, il est possible de modifier la dureté de la brosse en changeant simplement les caractéristiques de densité et de calibre des fibres serties dans les réglettes.As it is possible to play on the height of the fibers without modifying the base, it is possible to modify the hardness of the brush by simply changing the density and caliber characteristics of the fibers crimped in the strips.

Ainsi, on peut offrir à notre clientèle des brosses souples pour les débutants, et des brosses plus fermes pour les joueurs confirmés.Thus, we can offer our customers soft brushes for beginners, and firmer brushes for experienced players.

La densité de surface se rapprochant de celle d'une herbe naturelle, le golfeur à l'entraînement ne peut qu'apprécier un tel produit.The surface density approaching that of a natural grass, the golfer in training can only appreciate such a product.

Le foisonnement des fibres en surface offre une apparence régulière et plane ne laissant pas apparaître les lignes de fibres.The abundance of fibers on the surface offers a regular and flat appearance that does not let the lines of fibers appear.

Ainsi une balle de golf positionnée en n'importe quel point de cette surface, se retrouve dans les mêmes conditions que si elle était posée sur de l'herbe dense.Thus a golf ball positioned at any point on this surface is found in the same conditions as if it were placed on dense grass.

La juxtaposition des socles entre eux, ne laisse apparaître aucune différence de surface, l'intervalle entre les réglettes extérieures à chaque élément étant scrupuleusement respecté.The juxtaposition of the bases between them, does not reveal any difference in surface, the interval between the strips external to each element is scrupulously respected.

Le choix du matériau dont les fibres sont issues - nylon - rilsan polypropylène - étiré ou frise - n'a plus la même incidence sur la durabilité, et permet d'envisager de substantielles économies, et par voie de conséquence un meilleur prix de vente et une meilleure pénétration du marché. The choice of the material from which the fibers come - nylon - polypropylene rilsan - stretched or frieze - no longer has the same impact on durability, and makes it possible to envisage substantial savings, and consequently a better selling price and better market penetration.

L'intérêt de ce procédé, par rapport aux tapis de practice de conception traditionnelle réside dans les points suivants - plus grande durabilité et fiabilité accure par la conception même de la brosse.The advantage of this process, compared to traditionally designed practice mats, lies in the following points - greater durability and reliability provided by the very design of the brush.

- socle imputrescible et inoxydable, offrant tout au long de sa vie, la même facilité à mettre et interchanger les réglettes de fibres.- rot-proof and stainless base, offering throughout its life, the same ease to put and interchange the fiber strips.

- lors de l'impact des clubs sur la surface de la brosse, la densité des fibres et leur souplesse évitent la dégradation de la matière le club glissant le long des fibres.- During the impact of the clubs on the surface of the brush, the density of the fibers and their flexibility prevent the degradation of the material, the club sliding along the fibers.

- dans le cas de joueurs confirmés, la souplesse des fibres permet de faire passer la tête de club sous la balle, et de la prendre en remontant comme sur un parcours naturel.- in the case of experienced players, the flexibility of the fibers allows the club head to pass under the ball, and to take it up as on a natural course.

Le geste ainsi autorisé, est beaucoup plus technique et s'apparente plus au jeu de golf que sur un tapis classique non compressible.The gesture thus authorized, is much more technical and more akin to the game of golf than on a classic non-compressible mat.

- dans le cas d'un joueur débutant, la hauteur des fibres autorise une très grande marge d'erreur en profondeur, épargnant outre la dégradation de leur matériel, une réaction physique violente dans les mains et l'avant bras, pouvant provoquer à terme des traumatismes dénommés "Golf Elbow".- in the case of a beginner player, the height of the fibers allows a very large margin of error in depth, saving in addition to the degradation of their material, a violent physical reaction in the hands and forearm, which may ultimately lead to trauma known as "Golf Elbow".

- dans le même cas de figure, et lors d'un martelage vertical de la surface par le club d'un débutant, les fibres se couchent et provoquent un phénomène de matelassage, évitant l'impact direct sur le socle, préservant l'état des rainures, et de la tête des clubs.- in the same case, and during a vertical hammering of the surface by the club of a beginner, the fibers lie down and cause a quilting phenomenon, avoiding direct impact on the base, preserving the state grooves, and the head of the clubs.

- la dimension allongée de la brosse, évite la dégradation de cette dernière à l'entrée du swing.- the elongated dimension of the brush, avoids the degradation of the latter at the entrance of the swing.

- la brosse, grâce à sa rigidité, et à son poids, présente une parfaite stabilité de l'ensemble et de son positionnement devant le joueur quelques soient la fréquence des swings.- the brush, thanks to its rigidity, and to its weight, presents a perfect stability of the whole and of its positioning in front of the player whatever the frequency of the swings.

- l'épaisseur réduite du socle diminuant la hauteur totale de l'ensemble, l'intégration de la brosse est possible dans n'importe quel tapis traditionnel. - the reduced thickness of the base decreasing the total height of the whole, the integration of the brush is possible in any traditional carpet.
