OBJETO DE LA SOLICITUDPURPOSE OF THE APPLICATION

La presente invención se refiere a un brazo mecánico, colector y posicionador de pelotas de golf, y para el implante y rescate de soportes y pastillas en campos de golf.The present invention relates to a mechanical arm, collector and positioner of golf balls, and for the implantation and rescue of supports and pads on golf courses.

SECTOR TÉCNICO DE LA INVENCIÓNTECHNICAL SECTOR OF THE INVENTION

Es la industria dedicada a la fabricación de artículos y accesorios para la práctica de los deportes, y la de fabricación de juegos lúdicos, didácticos y similares.It is the industry dedicated to the manufacture of articles and accessories for the practice of sports, and the manufacture of recreational, educational and similar games.

ANTECEDENTES DE LA INVENCIÓNBACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

En el estado actual de la técnica no existe, en conoci¬ miento del autor de la presente invención, ningún ante¬ cedente del objeto de la misma. No se tiene noticia de la existencia, en el mercado o en fase de proyecto y/o construcción, de ningún tipo de aparato o dispositivo que permita efectuar mecánicamente la recogida y el posicionado de las pelotas de golf y sus accesorios en los campos de juego. En la práctica de este deporte se presenta el problema clásico de que los participantes, en la realización de las diferentes y sucesivas jugadas, deben efectuar rápidos y continuados movimientos que afectan a diferentes partes del cuerpo, particularmente de los brazos, manos y espalda, movimientos que, a fuerza de repetidos e intensos, llegan a producir fatiga muscular, dolores e incluso lesiones en aquellas partes. Al tener que adoptar posiciones forzadas y rápidas se originan sobrecargas, tirones y pinzamientos en distintas zonas del cuerpo, que pueden alcanzar cierta gravedad e incluso llegar a impedir totalmente la práctica del golf. Los problemas mencionados se ven incrementados en los casos de jugadores de salud precaria, de edad avanzada e incluso jóvenes, para la realización de los esfuerzos normalmente necesarios para el implante y el rescate de soportes y pastillas marcadoras. Se hacia necesario, pues, contar con medios de asisten¬ cia mecánica que facilitaran la práctica del deporte del golf especialmente a las personas en las condiciones mencionadas, evitándoles' efectuar aquellos movimientos inde- seados. Dichos movimientos consisten principalmente en la captación de pelotas situadas en el suelo y el implante y la recuperación de soportes y pastillas marcadoras en forma de discos, todos ellos con apéndices de fijación temporal.In the current state of the art there is, in the knowledge of the author of the present invention, no antecedent of the object thereof. There is no news of the existence, in the market or in the project and / or construction phase, of any type of device or device that allows the collection and positioning of golf balls and their accessories on the playing fields mechanically. . In the practice of this sport the classic problem arises that the participants, in the realization of the different and successive plays, must make rapid and continuous movements that affect different parts of the body, particularly of the arms, hands and back, movements that, by force of repeated and intense, get to produce muscular fatigue, pains and even injuries in those parts. When having to adopt forced and fast positions, overloads, pulls and impingements originate in different areas of the body, which can reach a certain gravity and even prevent the practice of golf altogether. The aforementioned problems are increased in the cases of precarious, elderly and even young health players, for the realization of the efforts normally necessary for the implantation and rescue of brackets and marker pads. It was necessary therefore to have mechanical means asisten¬ cia to facilitate the practice of the sport of golf especially people under the above conditions, sparing 'effect those unwanted movements. These movements mainly consist of the capture of balls located on the ground and the implant and the recovery of brackets and marker pads in the form of discs, all of them with temporary fixation appendages.

El aro cilindrico 34, de altura pequeña respecto a su diámetro, presenta un par de entallas I, una pestaña delimi- tadora II, una valona de base III y una pestaña IV para el cuerpo cilindrico de doble diámetro 28.c) The proximal functional part of the new arm, according to Figure 3, is formed by the double diameter cylindrical component 28, provided with grooves 29 and 30 in its widest part, surrounded by a surrounding annular element 31 and housing in its most part narrows the cylindrical part 27. The teeth 32, in the form of a moon, and the pivot teeth 33, in a complex way, are articulated by their central parts in the outer annular element 31 and constitute fastening elements in convergence. The cylindrical ring 34, of small height with respect to its diameter, has a pair of notches I, a delimited flange Tadora II, a base III wall and an IV flange for the double diameter cylindrical body 28.

d) El mecanismo distal interno del brazo mecánico de la invención comprende, según las figuras 4A y 4B, en el interior del cuerpo tubular 1, los cuerpos cilindricos 16 y 19 montados en el eje 17 (guiado y estabilizado por el casquillo 18) y asociados, mediante tornillos radiales 20, a sendos pulsadores exteriores 21 de accionamiento manual. El cuerpo 19 presenta un saliente tubular 41 hembra axial y éste aloja un resorte helicoidal 42.d) The internal distal mechanism of the mechanical arm of the invention comprises, according to Figures 4A and 4B, inside the tubular body 1, the cylindrical bodies 16 and 19 mounted on the axis 17 (guided and stabilized by the bushing 18) and associated, by means of radial screws 20, to two external buttons 21 of manual operation. The body 19 has an axial female tubular projection 41 and it houses a helical spring 42.

e) El mecanismo proximal interno, según las figuras 5a y 5B, comprende el cuerpo cilindrico 22, de mayor diámetro en sus extremos hembra I (con vastago central 43) y II (con orificio roscado para recibir el eje 24 de rosca extrema). Se evita el giro del cuerpo 22 mediante la guia-tope 5 en el exterior del cuerpo 1. El resorte helicoidal 23 condiciona la posición del eje 24 y se apoya en la tuerca 25 y la arandela 26 en función de cabeza externa al cuerpo' 1.e) The internal proximal mechanism, according to Figures 5 a and 5B, comprises the cylindrical body 22, of greater diameter at its female ends I (with central rod 43) and II (with threaded hole to receive the axis 24 of extreme thread) . The rotation of the body 22 is avoided by the guide-stop 5 on the outside of the body 1. The helical spring 23 determines the position of the shaft 24 and is supported by the nut 25 and the washer 26 as a function of the head external to the body ' 1 .

Las ranuras 3 y 4 del cuerpo 1 (fig. 1) determinan cinco posibles posiciones de la parte funcional móvil, a saber: a. Deslizamiento distal (apertura de los brazos 15 para su función prensora de una pelota) ; b. Deslizamiento proximal (apertura de los elementos 32 y 33 en orden a su función prensora de soportes y pastilla marcadora) ; c. Fijación, para el anclaje de los tornillo 20; d. Depósito, para situar los brazos 15 en posición semi-abierta; e. Descanso, reposo de los elementos móviles, especial¬ mente de los 32 y 33 reteniendo los soportes o la pastilla marcadora. El elemento 39 es una pieza de un material antideslizante (caucho, plástico, etc.) que sirve de tope para la mano al realizar el hincado del cuerpo tubular 1 en el suelo. El brazo mecánico que queda descrito, además de su aplicación en la práctica deportiva del golf, puede servir también como elemento de juego lúdico, de pasatiempo y didáctico, apto, por ejemplo, para niños, mejorando su destreza y capacidad de concentración.
