Abstract
Description
Technical FieldThe present invention relates to a target device for a throwing game device according to the preamble of claim 1.Prior ArtVarious target devices for throwing game devices are already known from the prior art, which comprise a net mounted within a frame for catching or playing back the throwing game device. U.S. Pat. No. 6,793,594 B1, for example, shows such a targeting device in which an integrated target receptacle is provided within a frame or a net tensioned within the frame, into which receptacle a game device can be introduced.U.S. Pat. No. 8,827,845 B1 discloses a targeting device for a throwing game device, which has a frame and a flexible and / or deformable and planar structure mounted within the frame, wherein a plurality of targeting receptacles are arranged within the frame, the targeting receptacles are of slot-shaped design and are formed by planar elements spaced apart from one another, the targeting surfaces of which extend transversely to the frame plane of the frame and which are fastened to the frame and / or the structure directly or indirectly or are connected to the frame and / or the structure.US 2020 / 0 238 143 A1 discloses a targeting device in which a planar structure oriented transversely to the planar elements extends on the targeting device and is formed from a flexible or elastic material.CN 209 155 050 U and US 2014 / 0 145 401 A1 disclose targeting devices for a throwing game device, which comprise a plurality of target receptacles and are formed from an assemblable frame.DE 33 44 955 A1 discloses a targeting device which consists of a sheet-like structure composed of a plurality of elements and foldable, in which a plurality of spaced-apart target receptacles are introduced.U.S. Pat. No. 2016 / 0 192 783 A1 shows a tent-like target device with a plurality of target receptacles.The disadvantage of the known target devices is primarily that they are primarily designed for the introduction (shooting or striking) of balls, but are only conditionally suitable for a specific throwing exercise with disc- or plate-shaped throwing game devices, especially since the flight alignment of the throwing game device is of no importance due to the partly round or angular configuration of the target receptacles. Only U.S. Pat. No. 8,827,845 B1 shows a target device which appears to meet the above-mentioned requirements, but which is less practicable with regard to its handling, especially since the throwing game devices must be removed from their target receptacles in a complicated manner.SUMMARY OF THE INVENTIONThe object of the present invention is to provide a target device which eliminates the aforementioned disadvantages.According to the invention, the above object is achieved according to the preamble of claim 1 in conjunction with the characterizing features. Advantageous embodiments and developments of the target device according to the invention are specified in the dependent dependent claims.Brief Description of the DrawingsFurther objectives, features, advantages and possible applications of the inventive target device will become apparent from the following description of an exemplary embodiment with reference to the drawings.In the drawings, FIG. 1 shows the target device according to the invention in an advantageous embodiment in a perspective front view; FIG. 2 shows an enlarged detail of the target receptacles in an advantageous embodiment as in FIG. 1 in a perspective front view; FIG. 3 shows an enlarged detail of a further embodiment of the target device in a perspective front view.EMBODIMENT OF THE INVENTIONAs can be seen from FIG. 1, the target device 1 according to the invention comprises at least one frame 10 and at least one flexible and / or deformable and planar structure 11 which is fitted within the frame 10 and is designed for (opening) catching and / or playing back the throwing game device, wherein a plurality of target receptacles 120 for inserting the throwing game device are arranged within the frame 10.Playing back a throwing device would be possible, for example, by the structure 11, preferably a net or a grid (as shown in FIG. 1 ), being of elastic design. A planar structure 11 can also be, for example, a planar-preferably elastic-woven fabric or a film. The structure 11 can furthermore also be arranged on the frame 10 by means of elastic fastening means in order to achieve this playing back (or springing back) effect.As can be seen from FIG. 1, it is preferably provided that the distances between the individual target receptacles 120 gradually decrease-preferably to the center (between top and bottom side), in order to increase the degree of difficulty of the targets, for example.In a further exemplary embodiment of the invention (not shown in the drawing), the individual target receptacles 120 can also gradually taper in their width-preferably towards the middle (between the top side and the bottom side) in order thus for example to further increase the degree of difficulty of the targets.The target receptacles 120 of the target device 1 according to the invention are slot-shaped and formed by surface elements 12 spaced apart from one another, the target surfaces 121 of which extend transversely to the frame plane RE of the frame and which are fastened directly or indirectly to the frame 10 and / or the structure 11 or are connected to the frame 10 and / or the structure 11.According to the invention, a planar element 12 is understood to be an element which is planar at least on one side, is generally plate-like and / or planar and advantageously has the shape of a polygon, preferably a rectangle.Either the surface elements 12 are directly connected to the frame 10 or the structure 11 or they are arranged or arrangeable indirectly on the frame 10 via, for example, a holding device 16 or a plurality of holders, as is illustrated by way of example in FIG. 1.Particularly preferably, the surface elements 12 extend at the front F along or parallel to the frame plane RE.The target surfaces 121 are preferably oriented perpendicular to the frame plane RE.On and / or behind the rear sides R of the surface elements 12, a planar structure 13 oriented transversely to the surface elements 12 extends on the target device 1.By means of this structure 13, the throwing game devices 2 inserted into the target receptacles 120 can be captured (soft). For this purpose, the planar structure 13 is preferably formed from a flexible or elastic material. For this purpose, the structure 13 can also be the structure 11 which extends further behind surface elements 12.The structure 13 is advantageously designed or designed in such a way that an elastic and / or flexible material does not bulge the throwing game device 2 backwards, as in the case of a net, and the speed of the throwing game device 2 is intercepted, but rather, it is hardly recognizable to the viewer, softly intercepts the throwing game device 2 and deposits it directly on the compartment base, i.e. the target surfaces of the surface elements 121.The target surfaces 121 can be formed, for example, from a flexible and / or elastic material.As can be seen from FIG. 1, below (i.e. in the direction of the underside U) and at the front F of the surface elements 12 on the frame 10 at least one catching frame 14 is formed, within which the structure 11 or a further flexible and / or deformable and planar structure 11' for catching or playing back the throwing game device is attached.As can be seen from FIGS. 1 and 3, at least one additional vertical target receptacle 17 is also provided on the target device 1, which receptacle is preferably formed as recesses on the holding device 16 which are arranged vertically or perpendicularly with respect to the surface elements 12 which are advantageously arranged and / or formed horizontally.In a particularly advantageous embodiment of the invention, a dispensing opening 171 is provided below the vertical target receptacle 17, wherein a feed shaft 170 leads from the target receptacle 17 to the dispensing opening 171. The throwing game device can preferably be guided from the target receptacle 17 into the dispensing opening 171 or a front region of the dispensing opening 171 via an obliquely formed and / or arranged ramp or guide 172, so that the throwing game device can be removed more easily.The frame 10 and the catching frame 14 are advantageously connected together in an articulated manner 15 in order to fold them in relation to one another.A further embodiment of the invention provides that it comprises a holding device 16 and / or a plurality of holders on or in which the planar elements 12 are arranged or formed, wherein the holding device 16 and / or the holders is / are fastened or can be fastened to the frame 10.In a further preferred embodiment of the invention, the holding device 16 and / or the holders comprises / are at least one connecting means 160 corresponding to the frame 10 or at least one connecting part provided on the frame 10, by means of which connecting means the holding device 16 and / or the holders is / are fastened or can be fastened to the frame 10.List of Reference Numbers1 Aiming device 10 frame 11 net 11' further net 12 surface elements 13 planar structure 14 catching frame 15 joints 16 holding device 17 aiming receptacle 120 aiming receptacles of the surface elements 121 aiming surfaces of the surface elements 160 connecting means on the holding device 170 feed shaft 171 output opening 172 ramp or guide 1200 openings on the aiming receptacles F front side of the surface elements O upper side of the aiming device R rear side of the surface elements RE frame plane U lower side of the aiming device
