Description
FIELD OF INVENTION
[0001] The present invention relates to the field of sports training equipment for practicing ball games, more particularly for football training. TECHNOLOGICAL BACKGROUND
[0002] More specifically, the invention relates to a rebound system. Football training requires the repetition of sending and receiving the ball. In order to simulate receiving the ball without using a playing partner, rebound panels are used to simulate sending the ball.
[0003] A major advantage of rebound boards lies in the consistent quality of ball return they provide, independent of the skill of a playing partner. Rebound boards facilitate the learning of technical skills by allowing the rapid repetition of identical movements, enabling players to develop automatic ball-receiving reflexes.
[0004] In the field of rebound panels for football training, it is common to use structures with only one rebound surface, thus limiting the frequency of repetitions during training sessions for a group of players. This slows down the players' progress.
[0005] This is a key factor in the quality and effectiveness of football training. The French Football Federation recommends that players in training touch the ball every 45 seconds during training time to promote their technical and tactical development.
[0006] Existing single-sided devices need to be stabilized so that they can return the power of the shot through a rebound of the ball instead of absorbing the shock, which would have the effect of slowing the ball down, or even stopping the ball and preventing a significant rebound.
[0007] The known solutions rely on heavy, rigid, flat structures offering a single rebound face.
[0008] They are often equipped with at least one reservoir to be filled with a sufficiently heavy content (water, sand, etc.), or with hooks that cooperate with stakes fixed in the ground to prevent the rebound board from recoiling upon impact of the ball.
[0009] Document US2002022540A1 describes a football training device comprising a plurality of interconnected boards forming a closed geometric shape intended to serve as a rebounding surface. The number of boards used determines the geometric shape of the device. The device is designed to be easy to assemble and disassemble.
[0010] These solutions have significant limitations in terms of the rebound panel's stability. They also require delicate handling by a single person, cumbersome installation, bulky transport, and substantial storage space.
[0011] In practice, known bounce boards with a single bounce face offer a limited repetition rate, forcing players to take turns using them and creating wasted waiting time for learning. Finally, known bounce boards are not suitable for all football playing surfaces (synthetic turf, grass, clay, hardwood, etc.).
[0012] Furthermore, existing solutions do not allow for different configurations, forcing the user to equip themselves with different types of rebound panels to have all the desired types of rebound.
[0013] The invention aims to offer a simple, modular, efficient and easy-to-handle alternative compared to known rebound panels. SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
[0014] According to the invention, the problem posed and solved by the features of claim 1. Thus, the invention relates to a rebound system for sports training in ball games, comprising at least three rebound panels, each rebound panel being assemblable to at least two other rebound panels at at least two opposite edges of said rebound panel by a fastening device allowing at least one rotation between two contiguous rebound panels assembled along an axis of rotation parallel to the lateral edges of the contiguous rebound panels. The axis of rotation is located at the intersection of the planes formed by two adjacent surfaces of two contiguous rebound panels, so that each rebound panel is able to interlock with another rebound panel lying flat.Thus, two adjacent rebound panels can be folded one on top of the other on one side, allowing the two rebound surfaces of two adjacent panels to come into full contact. This increases storage ease and training configuration possibilities.
[0015] A rebound board is a board designed to bounce a ball.
[0016] Thanks to these features, the panels can be assembled in less than a minute, with each interlocking edge connecting to the edge of another rebound panel. Modifying the assembly is just as quick.
[0017] Thus, we have at least three rebound faces oriented towards different directions, thereby increasing the training capacity of a single rebound panel.
[0018] Each rebound panel offers a different rebound direction, thus also providing very important possibilities for different ball returns.
[0019] To enhance the stability of the system during its use in the training phase, each lateral edge of a first rebound panel is assembled to a lateral edge of a second rebound panel, thus creating a stable closed polygonal shape.
[0020] To facilitate storage and transport, the edges are disassembled during transport.
[0021] The rebound system, delimiting a limited space by three assembled rebound panels, thus constituted, offers great stability when a ball is shot onto one of the rebound faces when placed on the ground, whether that ground is made of synthetic material, grass, earth, parquet, etc.
[0022] The rebound system, comprising three rebound panels, can be placed on the ground in different positions: on an edge of the rebound panels or on the surface of one of the rebound panels.
[0023] The invention also increases the learning frequency, and allows for different shape configurations, creating different angles.
[0024] The number of possible configurations in terms of closed shapes can vary from triangular to decagonal, including square, rectangular, and any other intermediate polygonal shape. The user can then practice all ball handling techniques: ground techniques, aerial techniques, and the full range of a player's movements: passing, shooting, lay-offs or deflections, one-twos, feints, etc.
[0025] The rebound panels can be assembled and disassembled quickly. Once disassembled, the rebound system takes up very little space, making it easy to transport and store.
[0026] Training effectiveness is improved through higher frequency repetition of movements and faster assembly and disassembly. Finally, the invention is usable on all playing surfaces thanks to enhanced stability, thus ensuring complete versatility.
[0027] Depending on various aspects, it is possible to provide for one and / or the other of the provisions below.
[0028] According to one embodiment, the rebound panels have a quadrilateral shape comprising lateral edges of identical length and longitudinal edges of variable length.
[0029] Thus, the rebound system can have different configurations and be adapted to different exercises.
[0030] According to one design, the rebound panels have contiguous edges that form right angles.
[0031] Thus, regardless of the angle between two rebound panels, one edge of each rebound panel is in contact with the ground.
[0032] At least one fastening device allows at least one degree of freedom of orientation between two assembled rebound panels.
[0033] By degree of freedom of orientation allowed, we mean the possibility of changing the angle between two rebound panels assembled along an axis defined by the fixing device.
[0034] The angle between the two rebound panels can be modified according to training needs.
[0035] According to one design, at least one fixing is reversible.
[0036] A reversible fastening means is a fastening means that can be assembled and disassembled without the fastening means being altered.
[0037] Thus, it is possible to at least partially dismantle the rebound system in order to limit its volume for transport or storage.
[0038] According to one embodiment, the reversible fastening device consists of a hinge with two elements, a male element and a female element, capable of fitting into one another and located at the same distance from a free longitudinal edge, the female element being a cylinder including a hinge pin, and the male element a cylinder of the same diameter as the cylinder of the female element, including a pin whose diameter is equal to or less than that of the hinge pin, the depth of the hinge pin being at least equal to the length of the pin.
[0039] Thus, the rebound system is simple and inexpensive to make, easy, simple and quick to assemble and disassemble.
[0040] For the purposes of the invention, a free edge is an edge that does not include a fastening device.
[0041] Also, the rebound system includes rebound panels of which at least one free edge of each of said panels is in the same plane as the free edges of the other rebound panels once assembled, allowing each rebound panel to be in contact with the ground once fully assembled, reinforcing the stability of the rebound system.
[0042] According to one embodiment, the male hinge elements and the female hinge elements comprise a fin fixed on the surface of the cylinders which extends parallel to the axis of said cylinders, said fin is positioned inside a slot made in the thickness of the lateral edge of the rebound panels, and fixed to said rebound panels among other means by a pressure force exerted on the cylinder in the axis defined by the fin.
[0043] According to one embodiment, at least one first rebound panel comprises only female elements oriented in the same direction and at least one second rebound panel comprises only male elements oriented in the same direction, the other rebound panels comprising at least one female element and at least one male element oriented in opposite directions.
[0044] Thus, the rebound system can be assembled simply using only three or more rebound panels, without any twisting required on the rebound panels to assemble them.
[0045] According to one embodiment, each rebound panel includes at least one gripping hole located in the middle of a longitudinal edge of said rebound panel and near said longitudinal edge.
[0046] The proximity of a free edge means a distance that allows the fingers to be slipped into the gripping hole while the palm of the hand rests on said free edge. This makes it easy for a person to grasp each rebound panel individually for handling, or even a set of rebound panels for transport. It is also possible to connect these gripping holes to simplify the transport and storage of the rebound system.
[0047] According to one design, each rebound panel is able to be fitted together with another rebound panel laid flat.
[0048] Laying rebound panels flat means that the rebound panels are laid horizontally on top of each other, with each panel laid covering as much surface area as possible of the panel already laid below.
[0049] Thus, the transport and storage of the rebound panels is facilitated thanks to a stable rebound system once disassembled.
[0050] According to one embodiment, the rebound panels include magnets to reinforce the interlocking with another rebound panel laid flat.
[0051] Thus, the assembly of disassembled rebound panels is quick, efficient, simple, and the assembly system is inexpensive.
[0052] According to one design, the rebound boards are made of wood, or expanded PVC, or plastic, or carbon, or polyvinyl chloride, or a mixture of said materials.
[0053] Thus, the rebound panels have a rigidity that allows for a high-quality ball rebound, limiting the loss of kinetic energy of the ball upon bouncing. The cost of these materials remains compatible with the budgets allocated to this type of equipment. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

[0055] In the drawings, identical references designate identical or similar objects.
[0056] In the embodiments presented, there are similar rebound panels, square or rectangular in shape, forming two flat surfaces, 50 cm high and either 50 cm or 100 cm long. The lateral edges of the rebound panels are equipped with either male or female hinge elements. Each rebound panel also includes two free edges. A gripping handle is located in the middle, near one of the free edges. The rebound panels are intended to be placed on a playing area, either on one of the rebounding surfaces of a rebound panel or on the free edges of the rebound panels. DETAILED DESCRIPTION
[0057] There figure 1 and the figure 2 are three-dimensional views from the same point of a rebound system 10 composed of three rebound panels 20, 30, 40 according to two different configurations: in position to be assembled, and assembled.
[0058] Each rebound panel 20, 30, 40 is supplied in the general form of a rigid rectangular or square board. Each rebound board comprises two opposing parallel main surfaces.
[0059] Rebound boards can be made of wood, expanded PVC, plastic, carbon fiber, polyvinyl chloride, or Forex, or a mixture of these materials. The choice of material for the rebound board will be guided by the materials that dissipate the least amount of kinetic energy from a ball.
[0060] In this description, both surfaces of the rebound boards can be used interchangeably as rebound surfaces. The three rebound boards 20, 30, 40 are all the same height. In the example shown figure 1 the three rebound panels 20, 30, 40 are not all the same length.
[0061] The first rebound panel 20is square in shape, 50 cm on each side, the second rebound panel 30 and the third rebound panel 40 They are rectangular in shape, 1 meter long and 50 cm high. The side edges 50 Each of the rebound panels is equipped with a male hinge element 100 or a female hinge element 200. Each rebound board includes a gripping hole. 60 located in the middle of a free edge 70 and in the vicinity of said free edge 70.
[0062] Each male hinge element 100 forms a cylinder whose size is half the length of the lateral edge 50 to which it is attached. An edge 105 of the cylinder visible on the figure 7 is positioned in line with the longitudinal edge 80 of a rebound board. On the edge of the cylinder 110 located at the midpoint of the edge, the male hinge element 100includes a pin 120 in the axis of said cylinder, sufficiently embedded in the body of the cylinder to be fixed therein in a stable and irreversible manner, and extended above said cylinder, and whose dimensions, that is to say the length and diameter, allow said pin 120 to be entirely positioned inside a hinge 205 and to remain free to rotate once positioned inside the hinge 205.
[0063] Each female hinge element 200 forms a cylinder 210 whose size is half the length of the lateral edge 50 to which it is attached. An edge 220 said cylinder is positioned in continuity with the longitudinal edge 80 of the rebound board located near the gripping hole 60 of the said rebound board. On the edge 220located at the midpoint of the lateral edge of the female hinge element cylinder 200, the female hinge element 200 includes a charnon 205 in the axis of said cylinder 210, said charnon 205 is not visible on the figures 1 et 2 sufficiently deep and of a diameter large enough to fully thread a pin 120 of the male hinge element 100 fixed to another rebound panel inside the hinge 205.
[0064] As can be seen on the figures 7 And 9 the male hinge elements 100 or females 200 include a fin 106, 206 fixed to the surface of the cylinders 110, 210 which extends in a plane passing through the axis of said cylinders 110, 210. The size and thickness of the fins 106, 206 make them suitable for fitting inside a slot 55 cut into the thickness of the edge 50.Then, once inserted in this way, the dimensions of the fin are such that a force must be exerted on the cylinder 110, 210 to finish pushing the fin in 106, 206 in the slot 55, thus securing the male and female hinge elements 100, 200 on the rebound boards 20, 30, 40.
[0065] It is a fastening method that does not necessarily require tools, is simple to implement, and economical.
[0066] On the figure 8 we can see that the axis of rotation 300 formed by the male hinge elements 100 and females 200 In the assembly configuration, it is parallel to the longitudinal edges. 50 rebound panels located at the intersection of planes formed by two adjacent surfaces 90 of two adjacent rebound panels.
[0067] Thus, it is possible to fold two adjacent panels completely on top of each other so that they occupy as little space as possible during storage, or to allow a particular training configuration during training.
[0068] On the figure 1 the first rebound panel 20 is equipped with two male hinge elements 100 fixed on both side edges 50, oriented in the same direction, installed symmetrically with respect to an axis that passes through the center of the rebound board 20 and parallel to the lateral edges 50.
[0069] The second rebound panel 30 is equipped with two hinges 205 oriented in the same direction, installed symmetrically on each of the lateral edges 50 opposite, along a central axis of symmetry of the rebound panel and parallel to the lateral edges 50 of the rebound board.
[0070] The third rebound panel 40 is equipped with a female hinge element 200 and a male hinge element 100 Oriented in two opposite directions, installed on each of the opposite lateral edges 50 symmetrically along a central axis of symmetry located at the center of the rebound board 40 and perpendicular to the surface of said rebound board 40.
[0071] On the first lateral edge 50, the female element 200 forms the cylinder 210 whose size represents half the length of the edge to which it is attached. In the middle of the side edge 50, the female hinge element 200 includes the charnon 205 whose axis is identical to the axis of said cylinder 200. The said charnon 205 is visible on the figure 7 sufficiently deep and of a sufficient diameter to fully accommodate a pin 110of the male element 100 fixed on the second rebound panel 30.
[0072] On the second lateral edge 50, the male hinge element 100 includes a pin 120 fixed in the axis of a cylinder 110, sufficiently inserted into the body of the cylinder 110 to be fixed therein in a stable and irreversible manner, and deployed above said cylinder 110 and of dimensions, length and diameter, which allow the said spindle 120 to be entirely positioned inside a hinge 205 from the rebound panel 20 and to remain free in rotation with respect to said charnon 205.
[0073] The three rebound panels 20, 30, 40 Thus configured, they can be assembled and disassembled very simply, effortlessly, and without twisting the panels. 20, 30, 40, provided that the first panel is assembled first 20rebound and the third rebound panel 40, and finish with the second rebound panel 30 equipped with two female hinge elements 200.
[0074] The three rebound panels 20, 30, 40 Thus configured, they can be used in several positions: a first rebound panel 30 can be placed on the ground. In this case, the square rebound board 20 can be used for referral, and the second rectangular panel 40 can be used as a springboard for a ball.
[0075] The three rebound panels 20, 30, 40 can also be placed on the ground on the edges opposite the longitudinal edges 80 located near the gripping opening 60 rebound boards 20, 30, 40. In this case, each rebound panel 20, 30, 40 can be used to return balls that bounce off each of the outer faces of the rebound boards 20, 30, 40.
[0076] There figure 3 is a three-dimensional view of one embodiment of a rebound system 10 composed of three panels 21, 31 And 41 rebound slightly different from that of figures 1 et 2 .
[0077] The three rebound panels 21, 31 And 41 are rectangular in shape. The first rebound panel 21 and the second rebound panel 31 are connected to each other by a non-reversible hinge 300 positioned along a lateral edge. The two lateral edges are free 22, 32 are equipped with a reversible hinge female element 200.
[0078] The third rebound panel 41 is equipped with two male elements 100 positioned on each of the lateral edges of said third rebound panel 41 and oriented in the same direction. The male elements 100 are configured to form a hinge with the female elements200 positioned on the side edges 50 of the first rebound board 21 and the second rebound board 31.
[0079] Once the third rebound board 41 disassembled, the first rebound board 21 and second rebound board 31 They can fold flat.
[0080] The male hinge elements 100 including a brooch 120 and the female hinge elements 200 including a charnon 205 are identical to those of figures 1 et 2 .
[0081] There figure 4 and the figure 5 are three-dimensional views from the same viewpoint of a rebound system composed of four rebound panels 22, 32, 42 et 52 according to two different configurations: a configuration where the rebound panels 22, 32, 42 et 52 are in position to be assembled, and a configuration where the rebound panels 22, 32, 42 et 52 are assembled. Two rebound panels 22, 32 are square in shape, two rebound panels 42, 52 are rectangular in shape.
[0082] The side edges 33 of each of the rebound panels 22, 32, 42 And 52 are equipped with a male hinge element 100 or female 200.
[0083] The first square rebound panel 32 is equipped with two male hinge elements 100 fixed on both side edges 33 said first rebound panel, oriented in the direction towards the free edge 34 near the gripping opening 60, installed symmetrically along an axis that passes through the center of the square rebound panel 32 and parallel to the lateral edges 33 said first square rebound panel 32.
[0084] One of the rectangular rebound panels 52includes two female hinge elements 200 oriented in the opposite direction to that towards the free edge 53 near the gripping opening 60, installed symmetrically on each of the opposite lateral edges 54, along a central axis of symmetry of the rebound panel and parallel to the lateral edges 54 of the rectangular rebound panel 52.
[0085] Male hinge elements 100 and the female hinge elements 200 are identical to those of the figure 1 .
[0086] A rectangular rebound board 42 and a square rebound panel 22 are equipped with a female hinge element 200 and a male hinge element 100 oriented in two opposite directions, installed symmetrically on each of the opposite lateral edges along a central axis of symmetry located in the center of the rebound panel 22, 42and perpendicular to the rebound surface 23, 33 said rebound board 22, 42.
[0087] The quadrilateral assembly of such a rebound system 10 It's easy, starting by placing the rebound board. 32 equipped with two male hinge elements 100 on the free side 35 opposed to the free side 34 near the gripping opening 60, then assemble each of the rebound panels 42 Then 22 equipped with a female element 200 and a male hinge element 100 and then finish by putting on the rebound board 52 equipped with two female hinge elements 200.
[0088] A system for interlocking the rebound system 10 In its disassembled configuration, it can be integrated into the rebound system 10. The aforementioned interlocking system in its disassembled configuration aims to secure the rebound panels.20, 30, 40, 21, 31, 41, 22, 32, 42, 52 They are laid flat to facilitate transport and logistics. This invisible interlocking system can be integrated into the rebound panels. 20, 30, 40, 21, 31, 41, 22, 32, 42, 52 By attaching magnets with their initial polarity facing the surface to the underside of a first rebound panel, a second rebound panel also includes magnets positioned symmetrically along the plane formed by the surfaces of the two panels laid flat on top of each other, i.e., with their second polarity facing the surface. The first and second polarities generate an attractive force when positioned close together. Thus, two rebound panels laid flat tend to stick together. A moderate amount of manual force is sufficient to separate two rebound panels joined by the interlocking system.
[0089] Configured in this way, the rebound system 10It is easily stored, taking up little space. The rebound system is being removed from storage. 10 without too much effort for a training session, we assemble the rebound system 10 in just a few minutes. Once assembled, the rebound system 10 is stable. Multiple groups of players can use it simultaneously for various exercises by spreading out around the rebound system. 10. At any time during the training session, the rebound system can be reconfigured. 10 in a few minutes for a different exercise. At the end of the training session, the rebound system is disassembled. 10 It can be stored in just a few minutes and is quick and easy to store.
[0090] Each fixing method allows the rebound panels to remain free to rotate once assembled, and a translational movement of one panel relative to the other assembled rebound panels allows the said rebound panel to be disassembled from the other assembled rebound panels.
[0091] The invention is not limited to the embodiments shown and other embodiments will be obvious to a person skilled in the art.
[0092] It is possible to increase the number of rebound panels in the rebound system up to 10 or more, by increasing the number of compatible mixed panels on the basis of an already complete rebound system.
[0093] By mixed rebound panel, we mean the number of panels having a male hinge element and a female hinge element oriented in opposite directions, i.e. a male element at the top facing down, and a female element at the bottom facing up when the side opposite the one near the grip hole is placed on the ground.
[0094] A compatible rebound panel is defined as a rebound panel whose height is compatible with the height of the rebound panels in the complete rebound system. The length of the mixed rebound panels can vary. The positioning of the male and female hinge elements of the panels must be compatible with the 200 female and 100 male hinge elements of the rebound panels in the complete rebound system.
[0095] Thus, it is always possible to add a rebound panel to a rebound system made according to the invention in order to create different configurations and to generate aerial or ground-oriented rebounds.
[0096] It is also possible to use rebound boards with interchangeable more or less slippery rebound surfaces, to use rebound panels of different sizes and geometries, etc.
