Playset for building a stationary playing field

Description

[0001] The invention relates to a game set for constructing a stationary playing field arranged in a playing field plane for a movable playing element, wherein the movable playing element is movable on the playing field to achieve a game success, in particular by means of a game device, with a first barrier element and a connecting element, wherein the connecting element has a first receptacle for receiving the first barrier element and a second receptacle for receiving a second barrier element and / or a further barrier element, so that the first barrier element can be detachably connected to the second barrier element and / or to the further barrier element by means of the connecting element and in a connected state by means of the first barrier element,by means of the second band element and / or by means of the further band element, a band for deflecting a movement of the movable playing element for the playing field is formed on the playing field level.

[0002] Such play sets for constructing a stationary playing field, especially for a movable play element such as a ball or puck, are generally known. Such playing fields or play sets either feature side-by-side barrier elements used to protect an outer surface or prevent a ball from rolling away, or they are complex and large elements that are difficult to store and require complex connection.

[0003] For example, DE 196 14 274 A1 discloses a play system for a minigolf course in which corresponding barrier elements are connected together with connecting elements. Likewise, US 9,623,319 B2, for example, shows a corresponding playing field with connected barrier elements.

[0004] What the respective solutions have in common is that a special plug-in connection of rigid band elements is necessary in order to fix the band elements within the connecting elements, for example dovetail joints or the like.

[0005] Likewise, GB 800,440 A, for example, discloses arrangements in which a playing field is constructed from a stretched band, for example, attached to a table using brackets. These systems are tied to a specific table geometry and are also not very stable, so the safe construction of the playing field depends heavily on the construction method.

[0006] US 3,138,387 A discloses a game set in which a playing field can be constructed and defined using fixed corner pieces, fixed intermediate pieces, and fixed barrier elements. The respective corner pieces and intermediate pieces can be geometrically connected to each other using the barrier elements at respective receptacles corresponding to the barrier elements. When connected, a playing field is formed and defined, allowing, for example, a ball or a sphere to be played on the playing field.

[0007] The object of the invention is to improve this state of the art.

[0008] The object is achieved by a game set for constructing a stationary playing field arranged in a playing field plane for a movable playing element, wherein the movable playing element is movable on the playing field to achieve a game success, in particular by means of a game device, with a first barrier element and a connecting element, wherein the connecting element has a first receptacle for receiving the first barrier element and a second receptacle for receiving a second barrier element and / or a further barrier element, so that the first barrier element can be detachably connected to the second barrier element and / or to the further barrier element by means of the connecting element and in a connected state by means of the first barrier element,by means of the second barrier element and / or by means of the further barrier element, a barrier for deflecting a movement of the movable playing field element for the playing field on the playing field plane is formed in a continuous manner, wherein the first barrier element, the second barrier element and / or the further barrier element has a strip-shaped base body, wherein the strip-shaped base body, in particular in an extended position, has a curved cross-section with a curvature contour, so that the strip-shaped base body can be transferred from a rolled-up position to an extended position by means of a bistable shaping behavior using the cross-section curved in an extended position, and the strip-shaped base body can be received in the extended position with the curvature contour of the curved cross-section along a respective receiving axis in the first receptacle and / or the second receptacle.

[0009] The inventive playset makes it possible to set up a corresponding playing field on a playing field level in a simple manner and with just a few, compactly stowable components, whereby this can also be done relatively independently of the surface. For example, a table, a grassy area, or even a gravel parking lot can be used. A paved outdoor area can also be used to set up the playset. The advantage here is that corresponding connecting elements with simply shaped geometric holders in conjunction with the bistable, strip-shaped base bodies of the barrier elements can be compactly stowed away at any time. When used in the appropriate extended position of the barrier elements, a large and very stable playing field can be set up.

[0010] The following terms are explained in this context:

[0011] A "playset" is a collection of different items that serve to enable a game for one or more players, for example, when connected or in a corresponding interaction of the components. In the sense of the invention, the playset refers in particular to a physically active game that can then be played by one or more players. This playset serves to construct a so-called "playing field," i.e., a correspondingly limited area or a partially or completely limited region for the implementation of a corresponding game. This stationary playing field is constructed in a "playing field plane," which can be formed, for example, by a flat or largely flat surface, a table or other piece of furniture, or even a surface necessary for the game.The term playing field level is not only to be understood in the mathematically exact sense of a plane, but also in the sense of a reference plane, which, for example, forms a mean plane from an uneven floor or an uneven subsurface.

[0012] A movable "game element" in this context is an object that is used to be pushed, shot, or placed on the stationary playing field in order to achieve a certain result. Such a game element could be a ball, a puck, or, in the simplest case, a pebble found near the playing field being set up.

[0013] The "achieving a game success" describes, for example, analogous to a football game, scoring a goal in a different form in relation to the game set mentioned here, moving the game element into a certain zone of the playing field or following a certain, predetermined skill course using the game element, similar to, for example, mini golf.

[0014] A "play device" describes an aid in the sense of a game tool, such as a bat or other object used to move the game element on the playing field. Such a play device does not necessarily have to be designed as a bat, but can also be, for example, a hollow body for blowing the game element, a play device with a spring preload for partially random movement of the game element, or another type of play element.

[0015] A "board element" serves within the playset to guide, catch, intercept, and / or redirect the play element by mechanically interacting with or reflecting the play element on such a board element. Such a board element can, for example, be strip-shaped, elongated, and with a thickness sufficient to provide flexural rigidity, and can be made of different materials, such as metal, plastic, or wood. A "connecting element" can then connect a board element to another board element or several other board elements. Such a connecting element is, for example, a geometric body designed with one or more "receptacles," for example, having indentations, milled recesses, or pocket-shaped recesses or cutouts for accommodating a respective board element.Such a connecting element has, in particular, a base or floor surface, by means of which the respective connecting element can be positioned at the playing field level. Together with the barrier elements, it then forms a corresponding "board" above the playing field level, i.e., a closed border along a specific distance, for deflecting the movement of the movable playing element. The term "continuously formed" board in this context describes at least a section of a board that is independently stable and thus, for example, enables the deflection of the movable playing element, at least in a partial area.Such stability can be achieved, on the one hand, by a corresponding geometric size and / or weight of the connecting elements, which then serve as a fixed point on the playing field for the barrier elements, or by the geometric design of the barrier elements in relation to one another in connection with the connecting element, for example by spanning a certain installation area and thus bringing about geometric stability.

[0016] A "strip-shaped base body" of a respective band element refers to the geometric design of the band element in which the band element has a significantly greater length than its width and a significantly greater width than its thickness, so that, for example, the corresponding base body is formed from a sheet metal strip or plastic strip. The strip-shaped base body has a curved cross-section with a curvature contour, particularly in an extended position. This "curvature contour" describes a contour rolled around the longitudinal extent of the strip-shaped base body, which makes the strip-shaped base body appear, for example, analogous to a partial pipe wall in this extended position.In this extended position, the strip-shaped base body is dimensionally stable, whereby a local disturbance of the corresponding curvature contour can result in an automatic rolling along a rolling direction into a rolled-up position due to the then released prestress of the strip-shaped base body. This behavior is described as so-called "bistable shape behavior" due to the two inherently stable states. The curvature contour then serves to insert the strip-shaped base body in the extended position, i.e., in the extended stable state, into a respective receptacle along a "receiving axis" or to be received by the respective receptacle. This receiving axis runs essentially parallel to the playing field plane, whereby parallelism is permissible within the scope of technical deviations of, for example, up to 15° or even 30° relative to a full angle of 360°.If the respective receptacle is shaped accordingly or, for example, open to a corresponding side, the receptacle axis can also be arranged at up to 90° to the playing field plane. In particular, mounting along the receptacle axis in this way ensures that the curvature contour interacts with the receptacle in such a way that the strip-shaped base body is accommodated in the respective receptacle in such a way that displacement of the strip-shaped base body relative to the connecting element is not possible, or at least temporarily impossible.

[0017] Because the respective connecting element has a first receptacle and a second receptacle, it is possible in particular to form a band from a first band element and a second band element together with a connecting element.

[0018] In order to be able to construct a larger playing field or a more complex geometry of the boards, the connecting element has a third receptacle, a fourth receptacle and / or a further receptacle, so that the respective strip-shaped base body of the respective board element can be received in the extended position with the curvature contour of the curved cross-section along a respective receiving axis in the third receptacle, in the fourth receptacle and / or in the further receptacle.

[0019] In one embodiment, a receiving contour of the respective receptacle substantially corresponds to the curvature contour of the curved cross section of the respective strip-shaped base body of the respective band element and / or a receiving contour of the respective receptacle geometrically restricts the curvature contour of the curved cross section of the strip-shaped base body of the respective band element and / or geometrically deforms the curvature contour of the curved cross section of the strip-shaped base body of the respective band element in such a way that the respective band element can be received, in particular reversibly clamped, in the receiving contour of the respective receptacle in a form-fitting and / or friction-fitting manner by means of an elastic deformation of the curvature contour of the strip-shaped base body.

[0020] With this design of the receiving contour of the respective receptacle, the curvature contour can be used in the sense of an elastic deformation or a frictional engagement due to the curvature contour with the receptacle in order to establish an at least temporarily stable connection between the connecting element and the respective band element.

[0021] A "receiving contour" specifically describes the contour of the respective receptacle as viewed along the receptacle axis, i.e., along the direction in which the band element is inserted into the receptacle. However, it can also refer to a contour along a different axis, for example, if an undercut or some type of bayonet or rear-thrust closure is used to accommodate the band element.

[0022] A match between the receiving contour and the curvature contour refers to a geometric similarity so high that, for example, a frictional connection is created through a visually invisible deformation of the curvature contour, or, for example, a certain insertion depth into the receiving contour alone, with an analogous design of the receiving contour to the curvature contour, creates a safeguard against game elements striking the cushion from the side. In contrast, a restriction or deformation of the corresponding curvature contour describes a pick-up in the sense of a "clamping" due to an elastic deformation of the curvature contour.

[0023] "Reversibly clampable" describes an arrangement such that the band elements can of course also be removed from the connecting element again, for example by eliminating or overcoming friction or a certain form fit through a movement, pulling on the band element or the like.

[0024] Analogously, a receiving contour of the respective receptacle can essentially correspond to the curvature contour of the curved cross-section of several strip-shaped base bodies of several respective board elements and / or geometrically restrict and / or deform the curvature contour of the curved cross-section of the strip-shaped base bodies of the respective board elements in such a way that the respective board elements can be received, in particular reversibly clamped, in the respective receptacle by means of an elastic deformation of the curvature contour of the strip-shaped base bodies of the respective board elements in a form-fitting and / or friction-fitting manner. Thus, several board elements can then be received by one receptacle in the same way as described above, for example to form gussets or acute angles in the playing field.

[0025] In one embodiment, a first receiving axis of the first receptacle, a second receiving axis of the second receptacle, a third receiving axis of the third receptacle, a fourth receiving axis of the fourth receptacle and / or a further receiving axis of the further receptacle are arranged at an angle of 180°, less than 180° to 90°, 90° to 45° and / or 45° to 30°, around a vertical axis of the respective connecting element arranged substantially orthogonally to the playing field plane.

[0026] In this way, complex playing fields can be created using the game set, which, particularly through differently arranged holders at different angles, continually allow for new and interesting game forms when the game set is reassembled into a playing field in a different form. This means that not only can straight connections be created with board elements, but corners and / or goal areas, for example, can also be formed. Such a goal area can be an end zone of a playing field on a particular side of a particular player, designed using several board elements and several connecting elements. If a particular holder is arranged at a corresponding angle to another holder, for example, different angles can be created between individual board elements depending on the design of the holders in the respective connecting element.These can, for example, be arranged at right angles, i.e. at an angle of 90°, or at an angle of 30°, 45°, 60° or any other angle, each related to a full angle of 360°.

[0027] The "angle" is defined around a "vertical axis" of the respective connecting element that is essentially orthogonal to the playing field plane, whereby this vertical axis is defined as a perpendicular to the playing field, i.e., to the playing field plane. In this context, it should be noted that orthogonality in the mathematical sense is not required here; rather, a vertical axis that is "essentially" orthogonal to the playing field plane is to be seen in terms of the tolerances of such a play set and a corresponding playing field. For example, deviations of up to ± 15° relative to a full angle of 360° are tolerable.

[0028] For example, in order to take the impact force on the corresponding playing element into account in an interesting way during play, a respective receiving height of the respective receiving element, arranged essentially orthogonally to the respective receiving axis, is arranged at an angle of more than 45°, in particular essentially orthogonal to the playing field plane. This "receiving height" describes the actual height extension of the board element in the connecting element, whereby, for example, a corresponding angle of more than 45° makes it possible to tilt the board relative to the direction of impact of the playing element in such a way that, for example, the board element forms a kind of jump ramp, allowing a playing element played too hard or too fast to also step over the board. If the corresponding receiving height is arranged essentially orthogonally to the playing field plane, a board is formed, such as in indoor soccer, which does not exhibit this effect.However, if the respective support or another support on the respective connecting element is positioned essentially horizontally and thus essentially parallel to the playing field plane, the high rigidity of the barrier element can be utilized to prevent impact with the playing element. This allows the playset to be used in interesting and diverse ways.

[0029] Here, too, it should be noted that the corresponding angle specifications are shown with the tolerances mentioned above and that it is not mathematical precision but the purpose of the play set that is decisive for the necessary tolerances.

[0030] In one embodiment, the respective receptacle completely penetrates the connecting element from an upper side facing away from the playing field to a lower side facing the playing field and / or from a starting side to an end side.

[0031] This allows for particularly simple production of the connecting element.

[0032] A corresponding "top side" and the opposite "bottom side" describe the corresponding beginning of the shot facing away from the playing field and an end of the shot facing the playing field. The bottom side can also be the installation side, whereby, for example, in the case of an angled shot of a corresponding barrier element, analogous to the above example of the ski jump, the top side can then be arranged diagonally on the connecting element. The terms "start side" and "end side" are to be understood analogously, for example, in the case of a shot arranged essentially parallel to the playing field plane, thus indicating the beginning and end of a shot that completely penetrates the respective connecting element from beginning to end.

[0033] In one embodiment, a respective receptacle for a barrier element and / or for the respective barrier element, arranged substantially horizontally to the playing field plane, is arranged in a receptacle elevation above the playing field plane corresponding to a height of the movable playing element such that the receptacle elevation is selected to be lower than the height of the movable playing element such that the curvature contour of the curved cross-section of the barrier element, which is oriented in the direction of the playing field, enables the movable playing element to be deflected, retained and / or clamped between the playing field plane and the barrier element.

[0034] This design enables, for example, goal zones or holding areas that do not require a complex design, for example a U-shaped zone with several barrier elements and a large number of connecting elements.

[0035] To further simplify the production of the connecting elements, the first receptacle, the second receptacle, the third receptacle, the fourth receptacle, and / or the further receptacle is / are designed as a slot-shaped receptacle or slot-shaped receptacles, in particular with a constant slot cross-section. This design enables, for example, the production of a receptacle using a simple saw cut that completely penetrates the connecting element.

[0036] In one embodiment, a depth of the respective receptacle directed in the direction of the respective receptacle axis is dimensioned such that the extended position of the base body of the respective band element is fixed in the respective connecting element.

[0037] Thus, secure fixation of the connecting element can be achieved solely through the geometric design of the respective receptacle. In this context, for example, a depth of the respective receptacle could be such that it corresponds, for example, to twice or even three times or even a multiple of the curvature height of the curvature contour of the bistable base body.

[0038] A "depth" is measured in the direction of the receiving axis, thus describing the respective insertion or insertion depth of the band element into the connecting element.

[0039] To procure suitable barrier elements inexpensively and, for example, to complete a playset using existing connecting elements and other available parts, the first barrier element, the second barrier element, and / or the further barrier element are clapping bands and / or snap bands. Such bands, known both as "clap bands" and "snap bands," are used, for example, as reflective bands for tying together trouser legs while cycling, or as party fun or festival identification. Such clapping bands can be equipped with a reflective surface, in fluorescent colors, or with additional effects.

[0040] In a further embodiment, the first barrier element, the second barrier element and / or the further barrier element are connected by means of the connecting element or by means of several connecting elements in such a way that the barrier for the playing field is formed in a continuous, closed manner, so that the barrier completely encloses the playing field.

[0041] In this way, the game set can be used to create a closed playing field, which makes it almost impossible to lose the game equipment, for example, and thus enables the game to be played while traveling, even on a narrow table, such as a camping table.

[0042] Such a band element and / or such a connecting element has in particular a height of between 2 cm and 20 cm, preferably between 3 cm and 10 cm, for example between 4 cm and 5 cm.

[0043] In a further embodiment, the movable game element is a ball, a sphere, or a disc, in particular a disc with a round cross-section, also known as a puck. Such a ball and / or disc has or have a diameter of, for example, 1 cm to 6 cm.

[0044] The associated play equipment can be a bat, a pusher, or a correspondingly shaped handle for pushing the play element. Such a bat, pusher, or handle can also consist of several elements, for example, a handle connected to a contact element for contact with the play element, for example, by means of a screw connection, which can also be replaced.

[0045] To provide the playing field with lighting effects or simple illumination for playing in the dark, the first board element, the second board element, and / or the respective board element can have a lighting device so that the playing field can be illuminated by the lighting device. Such a lighting device can be an LED strip integrated into a corresponding board element or another lighting device.

[0046] Alternatively, a combination of connecting elements and barrier elements, even without a play element and / or play equipment, can form a play set in the sense of a construction game for building almost any geometry.

[0048] A game set 101 is constructed from a plurality of parts and forms a playing field 103. The game set 101 includes both clapping bands 105 and connecting blocks 107. The clapping bands 105 are connected by means of the connecting blocks 107, namely by inserting the elongated clapping bands 105 into corresponding slots of the respective connecting block 107. The playing field 103 includes a goal zone 121 in an end area 120 and a goal zone 123 in an end area 122. A ball 171 can be moved in the playing field 103 using respective paddles 191. For this purpose, each paddle 191 includes a base plate 193 and a handle 195.

[0049] To form the playing field 103, the clapping bands 105 are connected to each other both in a straight line with connectors 131 and at an angle of approximately 90° with corner connectors 133. The goal zones 121 and 123 are also constructed using corner connectors 133. The clapping bands 105 can be variably moved within the connecting blocks 107, allowing the size of the playing field 103 to be variably adjusted.

[0050] For this purpose, the connecting blocks 107 have longitudinal slots 201 and transverse slots 203. The longitudinal slots 201 and transverse slots 203 are formed in the respective connecting blocks 107 from a bottom side 205 to a web 207. The longitudinal slots 201 and transverse slots 203 do not extend to the top side 209 of the respective connecting block. The longitudinal slots 201 and transverse slots 203 are arranged at an angle of approximately 90° to each other.

[0051] Alternatively, the longitudinal slots 201 and 203 or other slots in other connecting blocks can also be arranged at a different angle, for example 30°, 45° or even 60° (see also Figure 6 ).

[0052] The underside 205 of each connecting block 107 serves as a base on a flat surface such as the base 151.

[0053] The respective connecting block 107 is depicted as a cuboid block; alternatively, such a connecting block can also be designed like the connecting block 307 with corresponding longitudinal slots 301, transverse slots 303, and beveled flanks 305. The flanks 305 enable a smoother transition between the connecting block 307 and the clapping bands 105, so that the ball 171 used for playing can bounce more evenly off a cushion 181 formed by the clapping bands 105 and the connecting blocks 107 or 307.

[0054] Each clapping band 105 is a metallic, bistable band with a plastic coating or sheath, which forms a roll 413 when rolled up. An end cross-section 411 is curved, creating a bulge 412. When fully unrolled and stretched, this bulge 412 runs along the entire length of each clapping band 105, ensuring that it remains stably stretched out. If this bistable state is mechanically disrupted, for example, by locally buckling the clapping band 105, it forms a straight end cross-section 415 and automatically rolls up into a roll 413.

[0055] In a disassembled state, the game set 101 consisting of the connecting blocks 107 or 307 as well as the respective clapping bands 105 and one or more bats 191 can be stored very compactly.

[0056] An alternative connecting block 507 is shown as a cuboid block, analogous to connecting block 107, wherein connecting block 507 has longitudinal slots 501 and transverse slots 503, which are arranged at an angle of approximately 90° to one another, circumferentially on the corresponding outer surfaces of the cuboid connecting block 507. Each longitudinal slot 501, as well as the transverse slots 503, each have a width 571, which is slightly smaller than the free width of the curvature 412 of the clapping band 105 (viewed into the plane of the drawing). As a result, the curvature 412 of the clapping band 105 is deformed with a flat spot 551 and is thereby clamped within the longitudinal slot 501 and, analogously, also within the transverse slot 503 (not explicitly shown).

[0057] Analogously, a connecting block 508 can also have a corresponding width 572 of the respective longitudinal slot 501 and transverse slot 503, which is suitable for receiving the clapping band 105 and another clapping band 106. Corresponding flat areas 553 and 555 then hold the clapping bands 105 and 106 frictionally due to the pretension of the clapping bands 105 and 106 within the longitudinal slot 501 or the transverse slot 503. A connecting block 510 additionally has respective flat slots 511, which run horizontally to the support surface 151 and can receive the clapping band 105 horizontally. The height of the flat slot 511 is selected such that the ball 171 is clamped under the curvature of the clapping band 105 when the ball 171 is played into the area between the connecting blocks 510 ( Figure 9bshows a section of a playing field, for example, as a supplement or as an alternative detail to the playing field 103). An alternative connecting block 607 is hexagonal in plan view and has receiving axes 681, 682, and 683 arranged symmetrically around a vertical axis 691 in the corresponding side surfaces of the hexagonal prismatic connecting block 607, with opposite slots 601, 602, and 603. The function is analogous to the previously shown connecting blocks; here, however, another geometry of such a connecting block is presented, which enables the construction of interesting playing field geometries (compare Figure 6 ).

[0058] A bat puck 701 which can be used as an alternative to the bat 191 and has a base body 703 and a handle 705 (compare Figure 7) and an alternative racket 801 with a base plate 803, a handle 805 and a curved face 807 (compare Figure 8 ) can be used to create different game variations or different levels of difficulty.
