DESCRIPCIÓNDESCRIPTION

Aro de croquet para casaCroquet hoop for home

El Aro de croquet para casa (1) es un aro que permite a los jugadores aficionados a este deporte practicar el tiro al aro sin necesidad de clavar el mismo en el terreno o superficie sobre el que se está desarrollando la práctica.The croquet hoop for home (1) is a hoop that allows players who are fond of this sport to practice shooting at the hoop without having to drive it into the ground or surface on which the practice is taking place.

Sector de la técnicaTechnical sector

La presente invención pertenece al campo del deporte, y en especial se refiere a un instrumento deportivo para la práctica del croquet.The present invention belongs to the field of sports, and in particular it relates to a sports instrument for practicing croquet.

Estado de la técnicaState of the art

La estructura del aro de croquet consiste en dos partes o "patas” verticales conectadas por arriba por una parte horizontal llamada "larguero” (3), teniendo una imagen similar a la de una portería.The structure of the croquet hoop consists of two vertical parts or "legs" connected at the top by a horizontal part called "spar" (3), having an image similar to that of a goal.

Para evitar que el aro oscile o se desplace al pasar la bola por dentro del mismo, éste debe estar clavado, por cada pata, 30 cm aproximadamente sobre el terreno. Por tanto, parece indispensable contar con un terreno que permita clavar el aro para sujetarlo firmemente y que éste no se desplace u oscile al ser golpeado por la bola.To prevent the ring from oscillating or moving when the ball passes inside it, it must be nailed, for each leg, approximately 30 cm above the ground. Therefore, it seems essential to have a ground that allows the ring to be nailed in order to hold it firmly and that it does not move or oscillate when hit by the ball.

Actualmente no existe ningún aro que pueda utilizarse sin estar clavado en el terreno, limitando por tanto su práctica a los jugadores que disponen de un jardín, terreno o superficie apta para clavar el aro con cierta profundidad.Currently there is no hoop that can be used without being nailed to the ground, thus limiting its practice to players who have a suitable garden, ground or surface to drive the hoop with a certain depth.

Explicación de la invenciónExplanation of the invention

La presente invención resuelve el requisito de contar con un terreno donde clavar el aro, permitiendo al jugador de croquet practicar el tiro al aro sobre una alfombra, una moqueta, un césped artificial o cualquier otro tipo de superficie dura sin necesidad de realizar dos agujeros de 30 cm de profundidad en el terreno.The present invention solves the requirement of having a field where the hoop can be nailed, allowing the croquet player to practice hoop shooting on a carpet, a carpet, an artificial turf or any other type of hard surface without the need to make two holes. 30 cm deep in the ground.

Mediante un sistema de pesos que se sitúan detrás del aro -en concreto, con la colocación de dos barras de acero (2)-, se consigue dotar al aro de la estabilidad y la sujeción necesarias (pese a prescindir de las dos patas que se clavan en el terreno) evitando que se desplace al ser golpeado por la bola.By means of a system of weights that are placed behind the ring - specifically, with the placement of two steel bars (2) -, it is possible to provide the ring with the necessary stability and support (despite dispensing with the two legs that are spike into the ground) preventing it from moving when hit by the ball.

Una de las dos barras de acero (la barra de acero inferior) tiene un protector de gomaespuma (4) para amortiguar el impacto de las bolas y evitar su deterioro al pasar el aro. Asimismo, en paralelo al larguero y al suelo, se sitúa una varilla reguladora (6) que permite modificar la anchura del aro, lo que permite ensanchar o estrechar el mismo facilitando o dificultando el pase de la bola, según las preferencias y habilidades de cada jugador.One of the two steel bars (the lower steel bar) has a foam rubber protector (4) to cushion the impact of the balls and prevent their deterioration when passing the ring. Likewise, parallel to the crossbar and to the ground, a regulating rod (6) is located that allows to modify the width of the ring, which allows it to widen or narrow it, facilitating or making it difficult to pass the ball, according to the preferences and skills of each player.

Desatornillando la barra de acero superior se libera de la estructura el aro, quedando por un lado las dos barras de acero (2) unidas por unas varillas laterales (5) y, por otro lado, el propio aro. Esto hace que el Aro (1) se pueda desmontar y transportar con gran facilidad. Unscrewing the upper steel bar frees the ring from the structure, leaving the two steel bars (2) joined by side rods (5) on one side and the ring itself on the other. This makes the Ring (1) easy to remove and transport.

Por último, las patas del aro están pintadas, preferentemente, de color blanco mientras que las barras de acero y las varillas laterales (5) que las unen están pintadas de color de negro.Finally, the legs of the ring are preferably painted white while the steel bars and the side rods (5) that join them are painted black.

Exposición detallada de un modo de realización de la invenciónDetailed exposition of an embodiment of the invention

La solución que ofrece el Aro (1) de croquet para casa para evitar tener que clavar el aro de croquet a la superficie o terreno es la eliminación de los extremos inferiores de ambas patas del aro, que son las que se clavan al terreno en su modelo tradicional. Para conseguir el mismo efecto de sujeción y firmeza sobre el terreno, se colocan de forma paralela al aro (1) dos barras de acero (2) que le proporcionan estabilidad y evitan que se desplace al ser golpeado por la bola. The solution offered by the Home Croquet Hoop (1) to avoid having to nail the croquet hoop to the surface or ground is the elimination of the lower ends of both hoop legs, which are the ones that stick to the ground in your traditional model. To achieve the same holding effect and firmness on the ground, two steel bars (2) are placed parallel to the ring (1) that provide stability and prevent it from moving when hit by the ball.

Claims

1. Croquet hoop of those made up of two vertical parts or "legs" and a stringer characterized by the fact that by placing two steel bars on the back of the hoop they provide the necessary stability and support to avoid having to nail the hoop on the ground. One of these steel bars rests directly on the ground (the lower steel bar) and the other is raised and located just behind the side member (the upper steel bar). It also has two lateral rods that join the steel bars and are 48 cm long. It also has a regulating rod -parallel to the crossbar and to the ground- that allows the width of the hoop to be modified so that each player can adapt it according to their level (the higher the width of the ring, the easier it is to pass the ball inside.) This regulator rod is located 16.5 cm high from the ground, enough distance to allow the ball to pass the ring without colliding with it.

2. Croquet hoop according to claim 1, characterized in that the upper steel bar is joined to the spar of the hoop with two screws.

3. Croquet hoop according to claim 1, characterized in that each steel bar has a weight of 7 kg and measures 30 cm long, 5 cm wide and 5 cm high.

4. Croquet ring according to claim 1 characterized in that the lower steel bar has a foam rubber protector to cushion the impact of the balls and prevent their deterioration when passing the ring and hitting against the steel bar.
