Description

in iDK 2008 00057 U3 BAR-TENNIS GAMES CONNECTED TO A WATER SUPPLY Background for the Generation 5 The Generation relates to a rod-tennis game connected to a water supply. Description of the Prior Art 10 The bar-tennis game is known as a ball attached to one end of a leash and the other end of the leash attached to the top of a vertically placed post.

From US 5,462,284, it is known to further integrate one or more 15 water spreaders into said post, whose jets of water affect the course of the ball and make it irregular.

The aim of the present invention is to produce an advantageous bar-tennis game.

The creation

The invention relates to a bar-tennis game connected to a water supply 25 which is new in that the game is provided with a water control unit containing means for delivering a water jet depending on the game direction.

By the term game direction is meant the direction of movement of the ball around the bar-tennis pole, such as in or against the clock direction, for example if the game is viewed from above (bird's eye view).

5 By providing the bar-tennis game with a water control unit that emits a water jet depending on the game direction, it is possible to achieve the effect that water is sprayed on one or more of the participating players depending on the direction of movement of the ball around the post.

10 For example, water is obtained in the direction of a player who, according to the rules of the game, must try to change the direction of movement of the ball around the post and / or the player who has failed to do so and the water spray acts as a kind of punishment.

15 It is further obtained that when a participating player has managed to change the direction of movement of the ball around the post, the direction of the jet of water reverses and sprays on his opponent until he is able to change the direction of movement of the ball.

According to one aspect of the production, said connection to a water supply is effected by means of a quick coupling, such as a standard W connection to a water hose or the like. This results in a quick and easy connection of the water control unit to the water supply. In various embodiments of the production, other forms and sizes of mercury couplings may be used.

According to another aspect of the generation, said water control unit includes control means for changing the direction of the water jet. Hereby, the direction of the water jet can be changed and controlled so that it can, for example, be alternately directed at the participating players.

DK 2008 00057 U3

According to yet another aspect of the generation, said water control unit contains at least one pivotal component which follows said play direction and pushes a carrier to one of two end stops depending on the play direction. Hereby, the direction of the jet of water can be assumed to assume at least two fixed and controlled directions, such as in the direction of, for example, two participating players.

According to yet another aspect of the production, said carrier contains at least two control means for alternately delivering the jet of water in at least two different directions controlled by said end stop. Hereby, the direction of the jet of water can be assumed to assume at least two fixed and controlled directions, such as in the direction of, for example, two participating players.

According to one aspect of the invention, said control means are formed as curved tubes. Hereby an easily performed and effective construction of said control means is obtained.

According to a further aspect of the invention, said water control unit further comprises control means for regulating the characteristics of the water jet, such as its strength, direction and / or shape, for example by the use of a faucet, nozzle, atomizer and / or spreader. The result is that the game can be varied by changing, for example, the amount of water that the water jet spreads, varying the design of the water steel so that, for example, a thin beam, a beam with a wide horizontal spread, a beam with a wide vertical spread, etc. is spread.

The invention further relates to a bar-tennis game retrofitting unit which is new in that the unit includes a water control unit with means for delivering a water jet depending on the game direction and means for attaching the bar to the bar-tennis game and means engaging with it. the game, so that follows the direction of the game.

This ensures that existing bar-tennis games can be retrofitted with said unit and thereby obtain the unit's advantages.

Detailed description of the production

Figure 1 shows the production in an oblique perspective, according to one embodiment of the production.

5

This embodiment of the invention includes at least one pivotal component 1 which follows the game direction of the bar-tennis game. Here, component 1 is formed by a cup / tube 2 which is lowered over the top tennis bar's vertical post's top 3.

10

A cutout 4 means that a fastening means 5 connecting the top 3 of the post to the string of the game 6, which is attached at the other end to the ball of the game, is not hindered in movement, for example by rotating the fastening means 5 in a horizontal plane about the post 3 as a result of the outcome of the game. Further, said cutter 4 ensures that the rotatable component 1 follows the direction of play of the game.

Further, an end plate 7 of said cup / tube 2 ensures that the cup / tube 2 remains above the post top and does not move down 20 above the post 3 towards the other end of the post.

Said rotatable component 1 further includes an actuator 8 which, upon rotation, actuates a carrier 9 to assume one of two end stops.

The carrier 9 receives water from the connected water supply via parts of the water control unit, for example via nozzle 10.

Connection to water supply can be made via a quick coupling 12, such as a standard Vs' connection to water hose or the like.

In this embodiment of the invention, the carrier contains control means 11 designed as curved tubes.

Figure 2 shows the production in another inclined perspective, according to one embodiment of the production.

As illustrated in this figure, the cutter 4 is through which fastener 5 extends. When rotating the fastener 5 in a horizontal plane around the post 3, the fastener 5 will push to the cup / tube 2 and this will follow the fastener 5.

In the illustrated embodiment of the bar-tennis game, the game is designed where the fastener 5 can rotate around the post 3.

In another embodiment of the bar-tennis game, the game's leash 6 is attached directly to the top of the post 3. However, the rotatable component 1 will have and perform the same function as outlined above, the leash 6 now pushing to the cup / tube 2 and this one will follow the leash 6.

Figure 3 shows a frontal view of one embodiment of the invention,

The actuator 8 is attached to the rotatable component 1 and thus follows its rotation about the post 3.

The function of the actuator is to push the pin 13 of the carrier 9 for possible movement to at least two positions determined by the direction of rotation, whereby one of the control means 11a, 11b is placed immediately above the nozzle 10.

The control means 11a, 11b are designed such that water sprayed 5 out of the nozzle 10 will pass through either 11a or 11b whereby these will bend the jet of water so that it is sprayed in different directions, depending on the position of the carrier 9.

Figure 4 shows a side view of one embodiment of the invention.

Clearly illustrated in this figure is how the actuator 8 can engage and push to the pin 13, attached to the carrier 9, thereby changing the position of the carrier 9.

15

Figure 5 shows an embodiment of the rear view.

As illustrated in this figure, the end stops 14 of the carrier unit 9. When rotating the carrier unit 9 around its center, the end stops 20 14 at predefined positions will strike a fixed object (not illustrated). In this way, it is ensured that the control means 1a and 11b are placed correctly over the nozzle 10, 25 8GB 2008 00057 U3
