Description

The utility model relates to play equipment and can be used for entertaining games and sports training with a ball for children aged three to ten years, as well as for children with disabilities.

A known panel is intended for the sports game of torball and consists of a plastic plate (fiberglass) in the shape of an ellipse, to which three tori (rings) also made of plastic (fiberglass) are welded, located along three successive faces of a regular hexagonal truncated pyramid with a large base at the top , and the plane of each torus makes an angle of 80° with the ground, while the panel, which has a vertical position, is suspended on a pole, and behind the panel there is a net for shock absorption and collection of the ball (publication CA2111824, IPC A63B 63/00, A63B 63/08, A63B 67/00, 1993, 1995, https://patentscope.wipo.int/search/ru/detail.jsf?docId=CA94679248&_cid=P21-LLDPO4-15760-7).

The disadvantages of the known device are:

the presence of a moving element - a mesh, which, especially in street conditions, quickly becomes unusable;

the absence in the design of elements that increase the time the ball falls out of the outlet holes, which does not allow the device to be used in games for children with disabilities.

A device for playing with a ball on a round court is known, consisting of a spherical structure supported by one pole and having a plurality of gates located at equal distances around the maximum horizontal diameter of the sphere and parallel to the playing surface, the device additionally contains a plurality of gas discharge tubes inserted into the bottom of the sphere, and the specified number of tubes corresponds to the number of goals, holes are further cut into the sphere relative to the position of each target, so that a net attached to the bottom of each target can guide a round ball into the sphere, with the ball eventually leaving the bottom of the sphere through one of the gas discharge tubes, which then place the ball into the base of the structure along the playing surface (publication US5836837, IPC A63B 63/08, A63B 63/00, A63B 67/00, 1996, 1998, https://patentscope.wipo.int/search/ru/ detail.jsf?docId=US38838644&_cid=P21-LLDPO4-15760-7). The disadvantage of the known device is its insufficient safety for children, since the ball comes out at the feet and to catch it the child is forced to bend down, while he runs head first, as a result of which there is a high probability of him falling by inertia directly into the pipe. In addition, due to this disadvantage, the device is not suitable for children with disabilities.

A playground for playing ball is known, including a stand made of galvanized steel, a basket in the form of an inverted lampshade, numbered outlets with gutters, mounting bolts for connections (URL: https://www.customplaygroundequipment.com/playground-toys/triple-shoot -playground-toys-ball-toss.html, Access date: 08/24/2023). The disadvantages of the known device are

cone-shaped basket for throwing the ball, which increases the likelihood of the ball ricocheting off the walls of the basket and flying out of it;

the absence in the design of elements that increase the time the ball falls out of the outlet holes, which does not allow the device to be used in games for children with disabilities.

The technical essence closest to the claimed utility model is a playground, consisting of a support column made of a stainless steel pipe, a body in the form of an inverted truncated cone made of durable molded weather-resistant plastic, four numbered outlet holes with gutters, mounting bolts for connections (URL: https: //pwap.com/gyminee-goal, Access date: 08/24/2023). The disadvantages of the known device are:

cone-shaped basket for throwing the ball, which increases the likelihood of the ball ricocheting off the walls of the basket and flying out of it;

the absence in the design of elements that increase the time the ball falls out of the outlet holes, which does not allow the device to be used in games for children with disabilities.

The objective of the claimed utility model is to eliminate these shortcomings, and the technical result is to increase safety when using a sports module for playing with a ball.

Obtaining the specified technical result is achieved due to the fact that the sports module for playing with a ball includes a support column made of stainless steel pipe connected to each other using fastening bolts, a funnel-shaped body, in the upper part of which there are three multi-level numbered baskets for throwing balls in the form inverted cones, which are made with the possibility of balls getting inside the funnel-shaped body, and from the bottom of the funnel-shaped body there are three outlet openings with gutters, and their numbering is applied to the funnel-shaped body, inside the funnel-shaped body there is a protrusion that serves as a bumper, while the gutters are located under at an angle of 128° from the axis of symmetry at the inlet and at an angle of 125° from the axis of symmetry at the outlet, while stiffening ribs are made along the entire length of the gutters in the cross section around the circumference.

The bumper inside the funnel-shaped body reduces the speed of balls entering the baskets, which prevents the possible ricochet of the ball from the walls of the body, increases the time they remain in the body and rolls through the chutes of the outlet openings. The angles of inclination of the exit hole grooves to the axis of symmetry are also selected to increase the time of ball rolling. Stiffening ribs on the outlet grooves help to retain and additionally spin the ball, which also increases the time it moves inside the groove and reduces the speed and force of the ball's impact upon exit. In addition, the stiffening ribs increase the sound noise created by the movement of the ball along the chute, allowing players to hear the location of the ball's exit in order to have time to prepare to catch it. Additionally, stiffening ribs extend the life of the structure. Increasing the time the ball passes inside the module and reducing the speed and force of the ball impact at the exit allows you to avoid injuries during the game, which makes it suitable for use in games not only for children from three to ten years old, but also for children with disabilities who require more time to react.

To increase the resistance of the device to atmospheric influences, it is advisable to make the body of the basket for throwing balls and the chute of the outlet holes from a composite based on polyester resin and fiberglass.

It is advisable to make exit hole grooves with the following dimensions: length 760 mm, entrance diameter 300 mm, exit diameter 400 mm, in order to further increase the time the ball leaves the module and at the same time the time players prepare to catch it, in order to avoid injuries.

The claimed utility model is illustrated

in fig. 1 - general view;

fig. 2 - in section, using the following notations:

1 – support column;

2 – body;

3 – basket;

4 – outlet;

5 – gutter;

6 – protrusion;

7 – stiffener.

The sports module for playing with a ball includes a support column 1 made of stainless steel pipe and a funnel-shaped body 2 connected to each other using fastening bolts. In the upper part of the body 2 there are three multi-level baskets 3 for throwing balls in the form of inverted cones, on which are numbered. In the lower part of the housing 2 there are three outlet openings 4, the numbering for which is printed on the housing 2 itself, with grooves 5 at an angle of 128° from the axis of symmetry at the inlet and at an angle of 125° from the axis of symmetry at the outlet, along the entire length of which in cross section there are stiffening ribs 7 around the circumference. Inside the funnel-shaped body 2 there is a protrusion 6, which serves as a bumper for balls falling through the baskets 3. All elements of the sports module for playing with the ball, except for the support pillar 1, are made of a composite based on polyester resin and fiberglass by casting in special forms with their subsequent processing. Bolted connection of elements to each other allows for quick and reliable assembly of the device at the installation site after it has been transported in disassembled form. During the assembly of the sports module for playing with a ball, first the housing 2 is attached to the support column using bolts, and then the baskets 3 for throwing balls and the chutes 5, installed coaxially with the outlet holes 4, are alternately attached to the housing 2.

The sports module for playing with a ball is designed for a game of the “street basketball” type with the possibility of simultaneous participation of several players who can throw balls into baskets 3. In this case, the players do not know in advance through which of the outlet holes 4 along the gutters 5 the ball they threw will fall out, which contributes to the development of reactions in children. The numbering of baskets 3 and outlet holes 4 with gutters 5 is used to count points during the game: the numbers indicating the number of basket 3 into which the ball hit, and the number of outlet hole 4 with groove 5 through which the ball came out, are summed up to determine the number of points, which the player earned with his throw.
