Abstract:
Table tennis tables include a base that support two playing surfaces and a net supported between two playing surfaces by a left and right net support posts. For regulation table tennis tables, the table tennis net must extend a regulation distance beyond the left and right edges of the playing surface boards and a regulation height above the playing surfaces. The net support systems may comprise a net retraction system that is automatic or manual. An automatic net retraction system will move the net support posts from an in-use extended configuration to a retracted storage configuration.
Abstract:
Изобретение относится к спортивному инвентарю для настольных и напольных игр с мячом одновременно двумя ракетками. Игровой набор включает отражающую игровую поверхность, разделенную пограничной поверхностью на игровые зоны, мячик с возможностью свободного перемещения относительно игровой поверхности, пограничной поверхности и игрока, для которого предусмотрена одна игровая ракетка, включающая основание с отражающей поверхностью и содержащая крепление для руки игрока. По крайней мере, у одного из игроков дополнительно предусмотрена вторая игровая ракетка для парной руки игрока, у которой крепление для руки игрока выполнено с тыльной стороны по отношению к рабочей отражающей поверхности. Игровой набор позволяет расширить возможности игры в настольный теннис за счет активного включения в игровой процесс обоих полушарий мозга.
Abstract:
본 발명은 지면에 낙하한 탁구공이 자동으로 수집된 후 피칭 머신에 공급되는 순환식 구조로 구성되어 연 습 중 사방에 흩어진 탁구공을 일일이 수거할 필요없이 혼자서도 효과적인 탁구 연습을 실시할 수 있도록 하는 장치에 관한 것이다. 본 발명에 의한 자동 탁구 연습장치는 너비 방향을 따라 수직으로 설치되는 네트를 기준으로 하여 일측의 제 1 코트 및 타측의 제 2 코트로 구분되고, 하단을 지지하는 지지대에 의해 높이가 형성되는 직사각형의 탁구대, 제 1 코트의 말단부에 설치되어 순차로 공급되는 탁구공을 제 2 코트를 향해 발사하는 피칭 머신, 제 1 코트의 말단부 측에 설치되고, 이송 또는 낙하하는 탁구공을 수집하여 피칭 머신에 공급하는 수집대, 지면에 수평하게 설치되는 하부 가이드와 하부 가이드의 상방으로 설치되는 그물망으로 구성되어 탁구대 가 내입되는 공간을 형성하고, 탁구공이 이탈되는 범위를 제한하며, 지면에 낙하한 탁구공의 이동 방향을 유도하는 펜스부로 이루어진 자동 탁구장치에 있어서, 탁구대 하부의 지면에 낙하한 탁구공을 송풍하여 탁구대의 하방에 설치된 하부 가이드의 일측 말단부로 이동시키는 송풍부 및, 하부 가이드의 일측 말단부로 이동한 탁구공을 흡입하여 수집대로 이송하는 이송 부를 포함하는 자동 탁구연습장치에 관한 것이다. 또한 탁구대 하부 지면에 낙하된 탁구공을 제 1코트와 제 2코트의 중앙부분으로 경사진 바닥면 안내판을 따 라 안내홈에 수집하고, 안내홈에 탁구공 이송장치를 구비하여 수집대에 탁구공(A)을 이송하는 자동 탁구 연습장치를 특징으로 한다.
Abstract:
Table-tennis net apparatus (10) comprises two net-supporting devices (14), a suspension element (16) extending between the two net-supporting devices (14), and a table-tennis net (12) supportable by the suspension element (16) and attachable to the two net- supporting devices (14). Each net-supporting device (14) includes an upright post (24) having an at least substantially hollow tubular cartridge holder (30) and an elongate cartridge (28) receivable in the cartridge holder (30). The cartridge holder (30) includes a longitudinal slot (38) for the net (12) to extend therethrough, and the suspension element (16) includes a flexible elongate element (55)and a spring element (50) which is engagable with a said cartridge (28). The net (12) is suspendable from the flexible elongate element (55), and the flexible elongate element (55) is automatically tensionable by the in use spring element (50). A table-tennis net-supporting device (14), and a method of automatically tensioning a flexible elongate element (55) for a table-tennis net (12) using such apparatus (10) are also provided.
Abstract:
A structure such as a table-tennis top (2) or a table top may include a first portion (6) and a second portion (8). The first portion may be constructed from blow-molded plastic and include a hollow interior portion that is formed during the blow-molding process. The first portion may also have a first set of characteristics such as light weight. The second portion may be attached to the first portion and the second portion preferably has a second set of characteristics that are different than the first set of characteristics of the first portion. For example, the second portion may have increased mass relative to the first portion. The different characteristics may allow a structure such as a table-tennis top or table top to be constructed with desired characteristics.
Abstract:
A table tennis table (10) has a main panel (12) defining a playing surface and a pair of opposing edges (14, 16). A frame (18) is connected to the playing surface for supporting the playing surface in a horizontal orientation, a pair of substantially rigid auxiliary panels (24, 26) and adjustable mounting elements mounting the auxiliary panels to the frame along respective ones of the edges (14, 16) so that the auxiliary panels (24, 26) each have a first orientation extending substantially perpendicularly relative to the main panel (12) to extend the playing surface of the main panel. A table tennis net (28) is connected perpendicular to the playing surface and extends transversely along a midline thereof.
Abstract:
A game in which each opposing player utilizes a racquet, a paddle (16), or a hand to propel a ball onto a game board apparatus having three playing surfaces (e.g., 40, 42, 44). These playing surfaces are related to one another at angles which are within a specified range. The rules of the game require that the ball come into contact with the surfaces in a specified order both while serving and during play. The game utilizes a game board that may be incorporated into furniture, (Fig. 1) may be wall mounted (Fig. 7), or may be on a free-standing base (Fig. 5).
Abstract:
Systems and methods for selectively enhancing the weight and aerodynamics of sporting equipment are provided. A system may include a piece of sporting equipment having openings extending through the sporting equipment. The system may include a plug operable to be secured within one of the openings extending through the sporting equipment. The plug may include a first end portion, a second end portion, and an attachment mechanism. The first end portion may include a first outer flange and a first body. The first outer flange may have a larger diameter than the first body. The second end portion may include a second outer flange and a second body. The second outer flange may have a larger diameter than the second body. The attachment mechanism may be configured to connect the first end portion to the second end portion to secure the plug within the one of the openings.
