Description

The application of a utility model relates to a children's toy, in particular a small football goal without a net, which allows the players to score goals from both sides of the goal.

As is known, many children are enthusiastic about football from their earliest childhood. For this purpose, various types of toy gates are known and commercially available, the dimensions of which are small enough to be used inside the house. These goals are generally nets or in any case have a structure with brackets that protrude backwards out of the goal as the player shoots only at the front of the goal.

In any case, the player or the referee must be careful when the ball passes the goal line and remember the scores well. This process may be complicated, especially if it is not immediately apparent if the ball has passed the goal line and if many goals are scored.

The purpose of the present patent application is to eliminate the above-described disadvantages of the art by presenting a children's toy comprising a small football netless gate which allows players to score goals from both sides of the goal.

It is a further object of the present invention to provide a soccer goal for children capable of detecting the goal hits on both sides of the goal and counting the points on either side of the goal.

Another object of the present invention is to provide a toy that is both reliable and easy to use and easy to manufacture.

These objects are achieved by the features of the preamble 1.

Advantageous embodiments of the invention will become apparent from the dependent claims.

• - A second indicator, which is connected to the control unit to display the score of a second player who shoots the ball on the back of the goal.

The advantages of the toy according to the invention are thus clearly recognizable, since it offers the possibility of allowing two players to play at the same time, shooting from opposite sides into the same goal, thereby displaying the points of each player in an automatic, precise and reliable manner.

Further advantages of the invention will become apparent from the following detailed description, which refers to the embodiments illustrated in the accompanying drawings, which are not limiting, but are to be understood as exemplary only. Show it:

1 a perspective view of the toy according to the invention;

2 a front view of the toy according to 1

3 a sectional view along the horizontal section plane III-III 2 ;

4 a sectional view taken along the vertical section plane IV-IV 2 ; and

5 a block diagram illustrating the operation of the toy according to the invention.

With the aid of the figures, the toy according to the invention is described below.

The toy includes a gate ( 1 ) for the soccer game with small dimensions. The term "small dimensions" means that the dimensions of the gate are less than the prescribed dimensions (a proper goal for 11er football must have a length of 7.32 m and a height of 2.44 m).

With reference to 2 can the gate ( 1 ), for example, have a width (W) between 60 and 150 cm and a height (H) between 10 and 100 cm.

The gate ( 1 ) comprises two mounted posts ( 10 . 11 ), the cross member ( 12 ) wear. Each post ( 10 . 11 ) is on a circulation basis ( 2 ) arranged to be laid on the ground. For example, each support base ( 2 ) two plates ( 20 ), which protrude in front and behind, and a counterweight ( 21 ) projecting laterally outward. The counterweight ( 21 ) may comprise a container capable of being filled with water or sand. In this case, a lid ( 22 ) on the container of the counterweight ( 21 ) arranged.

The gate ( 1 ) includes a front side (A) and a rear side (B) which are perfectly symmetrical. The gate ( 1 ) does not provide any net and any support that projects into the goal area. In this way, the gate ( 1 ) can be used with a ball ( 5 ) To score goals both when the ball ( 5 ) on the front side (A) of the goal, as well as when it is shot in the goal on the rear side (B).

Although in the figures, a goal is shown with a free goal area in order to shoot from both sides of the goal, a goalkeeper to be set in the goal area can be provided to make the game more challenging. But the goalkeeper figure makes it possible in any case to score goals from both sides.

With reference to the 3 and 5 The toy according to the invention comprises at least one front sensor (S _A ) and at least one rear sensor (S _B ). The front sensor (S _A ) is mounted closer to the front side (A) of the door. The rear sensor (S _B) is closer to the rear side (B) attached to the door.

For example, the two sensors (S _A , S _B ) in the horizontal direction from the front side (A) to the rear side (B) at a distance (D) from each other. The distance (D) between the front sensor and the rear sensor is understood to be the distance between two vertical planes, on each of which the beams (I) of the front sensors and the beams (I) of the rear sensors are located. The distance (D) is at least greater than 5 mm, preferably between 5 and 60 mm.

Each sensor (S _A , S _B ) is adapted to an object, such as the ball ( 5 ), which covers the area of the gate ( 1 ). It follows that when the ball ( 5 ) is shot into the goal on the front side (A) of the goal and passes through the goal area, both sensors (S _A , S _B ) detect the passage of the ball; in this case, however, the front sensor (S _A ) detects the passage of the ball a moment earlier than the rear sensor (S _B ); this means that the ball ( 5 ) on the front side (A) of the goal was shot into the goal, so that he has crossed the gate thus from the front side to the rear side.

Even if the ball ( 5 ) is shot into the goal on the rear side (B) of the goal and passes through the goal area, both sensors (S _A , S _B ) detect the passage of the ball; in this case, however, the rear sensor (S _B ) detects the passage of the ball a moment earlier than the front sensor (S _A ); this means that the ball ( 5 ) on the back side (B) of the goal was shot into the goal, so that he crossed the goal thus from the rear side to the front side.

If the ball ( 5 ) is shot on the front side (A) at a speed of 36 km / h, corresponding to 10 m / s, and the distance (D) between the front sensor (S _A ) and the rear

Sensor (S _B ) is 10 mm, the rear sensor (S _B ) detects the passage of the ball one millisecond (10 ^-3 s) later than the front sensor (S _A ). This time interval (10 ^-3 s) is more than enough to avoid errors due to overlaps between the detections of the two sensors (S _A , S _B ).

It must also be borne in mind that when at least one front sensor (S _A ) and at least one rear sensor (S _B ) are provided, it is possible to determine not only whether the ball ( 5 ) has traversed the goal area, but also to detect the direction of the ball, ie to detect whether the ball on the front side (A) or on the back side (B) of the goal was shot into the goal.

In this way, two players can play simultaneously: a first player who shoots the ball on the front side (A) of the goal and a second player who shoots the ball on the back side (B) of the goal.

The sensors (S _A , S _B ) are connected to a control unit ( 4 ) connected. The control unit ( 4 ) is set to receive data from the sensors (S _A , S _B ); based on the received data, the control unit ( 4 ) the Direction of the ball ( 5 ) (on the front or on the back side of the goal directed goal shots) and the number of hits achieved in each direction.

The control unit ( 4 ) is connected to first display means (L1) and second display means (L2). The first display means (L1) displays the score (scores scored) of the first player (ie the player who shoots the ball on the front side (A) of the goal.) The second display means (L2) show the score (scores scored ) of the second player (ie the player who shoots the ball on the back side (B) of the goal in the goal.

Optionally, the game according to the invention can also be a loudspeaker ( 3 ) to the control unit ( 4 ) is connected to indicate a goal hit and / or the score of the two players with a respective acoustic signal.

Advantageously, each sensor (S _A , S _B ) comprises a transmitter (T) emitting a beam (I) and a receiver (R) coupled to the transmitter for detecting the beam (I) emitted by the transmitter (T) ) to recieve. The sensors (S _A , S _B ) are preferably infrared sensors, ie the beam (I) emitted by the transmitter (T) is radiation lying in the infrared range.

In this way, the receiver (R) receives when an object such as the ball ( 5 ) passes the beam (I) of a sensor, the beam (I) of this sensor does not and interprets this event as a passage of the ball ( 5 ).

The sensors are arranged so that the steels (I) of the front sensors (S _A ) and the beams (I) of the rear sensors (S _B ) form respective nets in the door surface. Each net has meshes of such size that the ball ( 5 ) can not happen without the ball ( 5 ) is detected by the rays of a sensor.

In the figures, an embodiment is shown, in which the transmitter (T) of the sensors on a post ( 11 ) and the receivers (R) of the sensors on the opposite post ( 10 ) are arranged at the same height as the associated transmitter (T) such that horizontal, parallel beams (I) are generated. This embodiment comprises two front sensors (S _A ) arranged at different heights and two rear sensors (S _B ) arranged at the same heights as the front sensors.

With reference to 2 The two front sensors (S _A ) produce two horizontal beams (I) dividing the goal area into three meshes each in height (H1, H2, H3), where H1 is the distance from the ground to the first beam, H2 is the distance between the two beams and H3 the distance between the second beam and the crossbar ( 12 ). Preferably, the sensors are uniformly spaced apart in the vertical direction, ie H1 = H2 = H3 = H / 3.

In this embodiment, in which the sensors are evenly spaced from each other in the vertical direction on the post ( 10 . 11 ), the number of sensors on each side of the gate must be greater than the ratio resulting from the gate height (H) divided by the diameter (d) of the ball, ie the number of sensors must be> H / d ,

• – genügt ein vorderer und ein hinterer Sensor, wenn das Tor (1) eine Höhe (H) von weniger als 40 cm aufweist,
• – werden zwei vordere und zwei hintere Sensoren benötigt, wenn das Tor (1) eine Höhe (H) zwischen 40 und 60 cm aufweist,
• – werden drei vordere und drei hintere Sensoren benötigt, wenn das Tor (1) eine Höhe (H) zwischen 60 und 80 cm aufweist,
• – werden vier vordere und vier hintere Sensoren benötigt, wenn das Tor (1) eine Höhe (H) zwischen 80 und 100 cm aufweist usw..

For example, if the ball ( 5 ) has a diameter (d) of 20 cm,

• - a front and a rear sensor is sufficient when the gate ( 1 ) has a height (H) of less than 40 cm,
• - two front and two rear sensors are required when the gate ( 1 ) has a height (H) between 40 and 60 cm,
• - three front and three rear sensors are required when the gate ( 1 ) has a height (H) between 60 and 80 cm,
• - four front and four rear sensors are required when the gate ( 1 ) has a height (H) between 80 and 100 cm, etc ..

Of course, other arrangements may be provided for the sensors, for example arrangements in which the beams (I) of the sensors are obliquely related to a horizontal plane. In this case, the receiver (R) is arranged at a different height than the associated transmitter (T). The receiver (R) or the transmitter (T), for example, on the crossbar ( 12 ) to be ordered.

Advantageously, the indicators (L1, L2) and / or the loudspeaker ( 3 ) on the cross strut ( 12 ) arranged. The indicators (L12, L2) are visible to both a first player facing the front (A) of the goal and a second player facing the back (B) of the goal.

Advantageously, each indicator (L1, L2) comprises a row of LEDs, preferably ten LEDs. In this way, each player is informed about his own score and the opponent's score as soon as a player hits the goal ( 1 ) has achieved.

In the embodiments of the invention presented herein, changes and modifications can be made which are accessible to the person skilled in the art, but in any case fall within the scope of the invention.
