Description

DESCRIPTION

VARIABLE PADDLE COURT TO PLAY IN DIFFERENT WIDTHS

TECHNICAL SECTOR

The present invention refers to a paddle tennis court which, based on the usual structuring of this type of court, has the particularity of offering a

that allows you to quickly and easily change the width of said track, to allow

the paddle tennis game in different widths.

The object of the invention is therefore to provide a highly variable track

versatile for the game of paddle tennis of various modalities and quick to transform.

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

Although many types of paddle tennis courts are known, they all have the same dimensions, that is, 10 meters wide by 20 meters long. In this way,

each half of the track is made up of a 10 meter by 10 meter square. This

It means that the paddle tennis court, so far known, has two symmetrical parts,

And, therefore, a padel court in use has 200 square meters.

However, there are other ways of playing or practicing paddle tennis that require a different size of the court, since the dynamics of the game itself allows it, for example, to be used to play one against one, instead of doubles or even to practice individually or to teach a specific type of stroke and, in these cases, it is

The track may be required to reduce its width, which is not possible to carry

carried out on conventional paddle tennis courts.

EXPLANATION OF THE INVENTION

The variable paddle tennis court that is recommended comes to fill the technical gap described above, allowing the width of a paddle tennis court to be expanded or reduced depending on the

the needs of the game that you want to develop.

To do this, and starting from the conventional structuring of a paddle tennis court, in which

a rectangular playing surface participates, on which they are arranged perimeter

and vertically a series of walls closing the track, a network that extends

crosswise over the middle area of the track, and at least one area of and preferably two, in correspondence with the ends of the net, the track of the

The invention focuses its characteristics on the fact that the track enclosure is

movable, that is, the side walls of the track will have wheels and rails and / or guides

on the ground on which to slide, as well as that, the method of fastening the walls

laterals will be based on a hydraulic actuation system, with locking means

in different positions, allowing the walls to be opened or closed to enlarge or

the paddle tennis court to practice other types of paddle games in just a few minutes.

In this sense, it has been foreseen that the network will be extensible to accompany the

movement of the walls and can be shrunk or stretched according to the desired width

on the paddle tennis court and that it is fixed on the classic net posts of this courts but that they are inserted into the wall itself allowing the

movement of the walls does not limit the functionality of the network and it remains

intact and centered before any lateral movement.

In this way, a highly versatile track is achieved, easy and fast to resize.

and adapt to the practice of different types of paddle tennis.

BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

To complement the description that is going to be made below and in order to

help a better understanding of the characteristics of the invention, according to a

preferred example of practical realization of the same, it is attached as part

an integral part of said description, a set of plans where with an illustrative and

non-limiting, the following has been represented:

Figure 1.- Shows a perspective view of a variable paddle tennis court made of

in accordance with the object of the present invention, in its configuration as a paddle tennis court

with conventional measurements.

Figure 2.- Shows a view similar to that of figure 1, but in which the track appears

with different dimensions, that is to say with less width.

Figure 3.- Shows a view of the side wall with the safety and the switch to start

the movement of the side walls.

PREFERRED EMBODIMENT OF THE INVENTION

In view of the figures outlined, it can be seen how the court of the invention is constituted, as is conventional, from a rectangular playing surface (1),

as part of the runway enclosure and bounded on the perimeter by a structure

based on metal posts and crossbars (2), distinguishing between the bottoms of the enclosure with front walls (3) and the side walls (4), on which glass, plastic, wood or other material faces (5) are established, determinants of bouncing surfaces of the ball, as well as grids (6) of containment of the ball in

within the track, having a network (7) that is arranged in correspondence with the

middle and transverse area of the track, in correspondence with whose ends two access doors (8) to the track are established.

Well, in accordance with the essence of the invention, it has been envisaged that the walls

sides (4) rest on the ground on displacement wheels (9) at the height of the center

from the track, by a rail (10) just below where the net (7) is located and by two other rails

on both floors of the pavement, allowing them to be moved forward or backward along the lateral width of the court itself, as well as with horizontal guides (11) on the front walls, at the height of the side walls (4) , which allow a correct mobility and fastening of the walls, with locking means to

that said side walls can adopt different positions in width, the one shown in figure 1, to play conventional paddle tennis, or a more closed position,

as shown in figure 2, to allow the practice of individual paddle tennis or one against

one, or even greater width of the conventional track of Figure 1, to make the

larger court and allow, for example, the training of athletes hitting with

one or the other hand without having to adjust to the dimensions of a conventional track.

In accordance with another of the characteristics of the invention, it has been envisaged that the

side walls (4) can be moved manually, pushing on the same, after removing the main safety (12) that would act as a stop so that they are fixed in the desired position or with a motor (18), activating a switch that starts the movement. All this as represented in figure 3.

To secure the side walls (4), the use of a hydraulic drive system (17) has been foreseen that allows the closing of the track in a few minutes, in addition the versatility of the system allows the track to be located in several positions (more closed or less closed).

The net (7) may be extendable to accompany the movement of the side walls (4) and can shrink or stretch according to the desired width on the paddle tennis court or it will be fixed on the classic net posts (14) of this type of courts but that they are adhered to the side wall of the court and not to the ground, allowing the movement of the walls not to limit the functionality itself, remaining intact and centered before any lateral movement.

Finally, on the playing surface (1), it has been planned that the lines of the conventional paddle court (15) are drawn in white and superimposed, but in other colors, the lines that must be followed to play with the different track widths.

Finally, it only remains to point out that the track may, as is conventional, have lighting means (16), to be able to be used a maximum of hours a day.
