Description

[Technical field]

[0001] The present invention relates to a training device for ball games, and more particularly to a training device that can be effectively used for soccer practice. [Background technology]

[0002] In order to improve your ball skills, especially in soccer, it is important to touch and kick the ball many times. Kicking the ball accurately in the desired direction and dribbling accurately are fundamental to improving your skills. To do this, you need a soccer training device that allows you to repeatedly practice whatever comes to mind. Such practice devices are disclosed in Patent Documents 1 to 3. All of the devices disclosed in these documents include a reflector that reflects the ball and a support means that supports the reflector.

[0003] However, the structure disclosed in Patent Document 1 was not sufficiently practical, and the structure of the support part was poor in durability. In addition, the structure disclosed in Patent Document 2 was a training device that could be used by one person in a small place (e.g., indoors), and although it was light and small, it lacked durability. The structure disclosed in Patent Document 3 was also small and light, allowing one person to practice. Since the main focus was on making it small and light, it would move when hit by a ball, making it difficult to keep it installed in the same place for a long time. In addition, there were no reflectors that were more than 40 cm high, and it was difficult to reflect a high ball to a place other than the legs (e.g., the head, chest, or thighs). [Prior art documents] [Patent documents]

[0004] [Patent Document 1] Registered utility model no. 30066006 [Patent Document 2] Japanese Patent Application Publication No. 9-038262 [Patent Document 3] Japanese Patent Application Publication No. 8-131591 Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]

[0005] The present invention has been made in consideration of the above-mentioned circumstances, and its object is to provide a ball game practice device that is sturdy enough to be used by multiple practicers and allows other practicers to control the reflected ball. [Means for solving the problem]

[0006] The ball game practice device according to the invention for achieving the above object comprises a reflector section which reflects incoming balls, and a support section which is provided on the back side of the reflector section and capable of supporting the reflector section at a predetermined angle, the reflector section being formed to a height of about 60 cm to about 120 cm (preferably about 70 cm to about 110 cm) and weighing about 10 kg to about 30 kg (preferably about 10 kg to about 25 kg), the support section comprising a first fan-shaped fan section provided on both the left and right ends of the reflector section and a second fan-shaped fan section which is placed on the ground, both fan sections being provided with locking holes at a predetermined angular interval, and by aligning the positions of both locking holes and providing fasteners, the inclination of the reflector section can be fixed at appropriate angular intervals (for example, at intervals of about 5 degrees to about 15 degrees) in the range of about 60 degrees to about 90 degrees. The weight of the support section is about 10 kg to about 20 kg (preferably about 12 kg to about 18 kg). The weight of the entire ball game training device is about 25 kg to about 50 kg (preferably about 25 kg to about 40 kg). With this weight, it can be carried by one person and is not easily tilted by the impact of a ball. Examples of ball games include soccer, rugby, baseball, etc. Among these, it is particularly preferable to use it for soccer.

[0007] According to the above configuration, the incoming ball is reflected by the reflector. The reflector has a wall-like structure, so that, for example, one person can hit or kick the ball against the wall. In addition, since the reflector has a sufficient height, by making the ball enter the high position of the reflector, it can be reflected as a soccer heading ball. In addition, since the reflector has a sufficient weight, even if balls are alternately entered from the left and right sides of the reflector, it does not easily fall over or shift position, so that practice can be performed with the reflector installed in the same place for a long time.

[0008] As a training method, for example, goalkeepers can improve their reflexes and learn catching and saving techniques. In addition, since the ball supplier and the goalkeeper trainee are on the same side of the reflector, it is difficult for the trainee to see the supplier, and the reflected ball suddenly appears in front of the trainee, so they can practice sudden reactions. For example, field players can practice trapping a reflected ball with their legs, trapping a ball that has bounced high with their head, chest or thighs, using the ball game training device as a post player, and exchanging passes (one-two).

[0009] In the present invention, the reflector portion is preferably made of at least one material selected from the group consisting of a plate material, a synthetic resin material, and a metal material. The surface of the reflector needs to reflect the ball while maintaining an appropriate speed, and it is preferable that the surface has both appropriate strength and ease of handling. To ensure this, it is preferable that the surface is made of a board material, a synthetic resin material, or a metal material. For example, pine, cedar, teak, walnut, cherry, oak, or plywood of these materials can be used as such board materials. For the synthetic resin material, it is preferable to use polyethylene, polypropylene, polystyrene, polycarbonate, polyacetal, or a mixed resin of these materials, and it is more preferable to use polycarbonate or polyacetal. For the metal material, it is possible to use iron, stainless steel, aluminum, copper, chromium, magnesium, or an alloy of these materials.

[0010] In the present invention, it is preferable that the first fan portion is provided with a plurality of fixing positions different in a height direction with respect to the reflecting plate portion. According to the above configuration, if the reflector is fixed at a high position, a higher reflective ball can be provided. Also, if the reflector is fixed at a low position, the fulcrum (the lower end position of the reflector) is lower, so that a stable position can be maintained. In the present invention, it is preferable that a pair of carrying handles, one on each side, be provided on the upper portion of the reflecting plate portion so that the ball game training device can be lifted and carried. A ball game practice device is quite large and heavy. For this reason, for example, when a single person is carrying it, it is preferable to have something to hold onto. Therefore, by providing a pair of handles for carrying on the left and right, handling becomes easier. Examples of such handles for carrying include a handle that protrudes outward from the reflector, a handle that can be opened and closed with a spring material relative to the reflector, a recess in the reflector (not penetrating the reflector), and a long handle hole in the reflector (penetrating the reflector).

[0011] The reflector portion is preferably at least one color selected from the group consisting of white, beige, metallic silver, black, green, and ocher. When the reflector is made of synthetic resin, the resin is often white, so the white color can be used as is. The ball game practice device is installed and used in the place (ground) where the ball game is played. Therefore, by providing a color close to the color of the place, it is possible to provide a so-called protective color effect, making it difficult to see the direction of the ball's reflection, and allowing for more effective practice. Effect of the Invention

[0012] According to the present invention, it is possible to provide a ball game practice device that is sturdy enough to be used by a plurality of practice persons and that allows other practice persons to control the reflected ball. [Brief description of the drawings]

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS

[0014] Next, embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. The technical scope of the present invention is not limited to these embodiments, and the present invention can be embodied in various forms without departing from the spirit of the invention. FIG. 1 shows an exploded perspective view of a ball game practice device 1 (hereinafter referred to as "practice device 1"). The practice device 1 is provided with a reflector 2 that reflects a ball B, and a pair of left and right support parts 3, 4 that are provided on the back side of the reflector 2 and can support the reflector 2 at a predetermined angle. The support parts 3, 4 are provided with first fan-shaped fan parts 5, 6 that are attached to the back side of the reflector 2, and second fan-shaped fan parts 7, 8 that are placed on the ground. The first fan parts 5, 6 are assembled so as to be located on the outer surface side of the second fan parts 7, 8.

[0015] The reflector 2 is made of synthetic resin (e.g., polyacetal) and is formed in a substantially rectangular shape, and the entire surface is substantially black. This is because when used outdoors during the day, the reflected light from a white color is too strong and may interfere with practice (Note that, in addition to black, the reflector 2 can be made in white, beige, metallic silver, green, or ocher, etc., according to the present invention). The size of the reflector 2 is a height of about 60 cm to 120 cm, a width of about 120 cm to 200 cm, a thickness of about 10 mm to 30 mm, and a weight of about 20 kg to 50 kg. The edges of the reflector 2 are rounded and rounded, so that the risk of the ball B exploding or people being injured is reduced.

[0016] A pair of carrying handles 9, 9 are provided near the left and right upper ends of the reflecting plate portion 2. The carrying handles 9, 9 are formed as elongated holes that penetrate the reflecting plate portion 2 in the left-right direction. Additionally, screw fixing holes 10A1, 10A2, 10B1, 10B2, 10C1, 10C2, 11A1, 11A2, 11B1, 11B2, 11C1, 11C2 are provided on the rear surface of the reflector portion 2 from the center downwards of the left and right ends. The left and right spacing width L of the screw fixing holes is the same. Also, the vertical spacing H is equally spaced for three sets of two holes of the same height on the left and right. The first fan portions 5, 6 are configured symmetrically on the left and right. The first fan portions 5, 6 are provided with substantially fan-shaped sectors 12, 13 with a central angle of approximately 60 degrees and substantially rectangular assembly bodies 14, 15 bent approximately 90 degrees from the sectors 12, 13.

[0017] The assemblies 14 and 15 are provided with a total of 18 screw holes 20A1, 20A2, 20B1, 20B2, 20C1, 20C2, 21A1, 21A2, 21B1, 21B2, 21C1, 21C2, 22A1, 22A2, 22B1, 22B2, 22C1, 22C2, 23A1, 23A2, 23B1, 23B2, 23C1, 23C2, 24A1, 25A2, 25B1, 25B2, 25C1, 25C2, 25A1, 25A2, 25B1, 25B2, 25C1, 25C2, respectively. These screw holes come in sets of six, two on the left and two on the right and three on the top and bottom (six at 20A1, 20A2, 20B1, 20B2, 20C1, 20C2; six at 21A1, 21A2, 21B1, 21B2, 21C1, 21C2; six at 22A1, 22A2, 22B1, 22B2, 22C1, 22C2; six at 23A1, 23A2, 23B1, 23B2, 23C1, 23C2; six at 24A1, 25A2, 25B1, 25B2, 25C1, 25C2; and six at 25A1, 25A2, 25B1, 25B2, 25C1, 25C2). The left and right spacing width L of the screw holes in one set is the same as the left and right spacing width L of the screw fixing holes. The vertical spacing between the three upper and lower holes is the same spacing h. This vertical spacing matches the three types of height spacing described below.

[0018] The six screw holes in the set are spaced equally apart in the vertical direction at H. This vertical spacing matches the vertical spacing H of the screw fixing holes. In this way, the assembly bodies 14, 15 can be attached to the reflector portion 2 at three different height positions. Since the assembly structures of the left and right assembly bodies 14, 15 are the same, the assembly structure between the right assembly body 14 and the reflector portion 2 will be described below. One of three sets of screw holes (i.e., six holes 20A1, 20A2, 21A1, 21A2, 22A1, 22A2 (high position, see FIG. 3); six holes 20B1, 20B2, 21B1, 21B2, 22B1, 22B2 (middle position, see FIG. 4); six holes 20C1, 20C2, 21C1, 21C2, 22C1, 22C2 (low position, see FIG. 5)) is aligned with the screw fixing holes 10A1, 10A2, 10B1, 10B2, 10C1, 10C2 of the reflector portion 2, and fixed by the fixing device 38. By setting the screw holes in the low position, the center of gravity of the practice device 1 (of the reflector portion 2) can be lowered, so that the position of the practice device 1 can be more stably maintained than in the high or middle position. Furthermore, the fixing device 38 is provided with a hexagonal recess that can be tightened / unfastened with a hexagonal wrench 41 .

[0019] Central holes 16, 17 are provided at the centers of the sector portions of sector bodies 12, 13. A total of five locking holes 18A-18E, 19A-19E are provided near the outer periphery of sector bodies 12, 13 at predetermined angular intervals (in this embodiment, at central angle intervals of approximately 15 degrees) centered on central holes 16, 17. The second fan sections 7, 8 are configured symmetrically on the left and right. The second fan sections 7, 8 are provided with a substantially fan-shaped sector 26, 27 with a central angle of approximately 60 degrees and a substantially rectangular bottom body 28, 29 bent from the sector by approximately 90 degrees. The sector 26, 27 has a central hole 30, 31 at the center of the sector, which corresponds to the central hole 16, 17 of the first fan section 5, 6. When the first and second fan sections are combined, the central pins 32, 33 are inserted and fixed in a state where the central holes 16, 30, 17, 31 are aligned, so that the two sectors 12, 26, 13, 27 are assembled to be rotatable about the central pins 32, 33.

[0020] Further, near the outer periphery of sectors 26, 27, two locking holes 34A, 34B, 35A, 35B are provided on each of the left and right sides at radial positions equivalent to the radii of locking holes 18A-18E, 19A-19E of sectors 12, 13. The positions of both sectors 12, 26, 13, 27 are fixed by assembling fastener 37 with the locking holes of the outer and inner sectors aligned. The separation angle of the locking holes is set to a central angle of approximately 30 degrees with central holes 30, 31 as the center. Fastener 37 has a hexagonal recess that can be tightened / unfastened with a hexagonal wrench 41. The recesses on fastener 37 and fixing device 38 have the same shape, so that they can be operated with the same hexagonal wrench 41.

[0021] Therefore, sectors 26 and 27 can be fixed to sectors 12 and 13 at three different angles. More specifically, there are three positions: an approximately 90 degree position (shown in Figure 6) where locking holes 34A, 34B, 35A, 35B of sectors 26, 27 are aligned with locking holes 18C, 18E, 19C, 19E of sectors 12, 13; an approximately 75 degree position (shown in Figure 7) where locking holes 34A, 34B, 35A, 35B of sectors 26, 27 are aligned with locking holes 18B, 18D, 19B, 19D of sectors 12, 13; and an approximately 60 degree position (shown in Figure 8) where locking holes 34A, 34B, 35A, 35B of sectors 26, 27 are aligned with locking holes 18A, 18C, 19A, 19C of sectors 12, 13. Additionally, the upper arcs of the sectors 26, 27 are provided with tool attachment recesses 39, 40 capable of holding a hexagonal wrench 41 therein. Each of the bottom bodies 28 and 29 has six component holes 36A, into which claw members 36 are attached. Cleats that are attached to the soles of soccer shoes are used as the claw members 36. When the training device 1 is set up, the claw members 36 are pressed against the ground by the weight of the training device 1 and are appropriately dug into the ground, and (together with the weight of the training device 1) are able to withstand the impact of the ball B and are not easily moved.

[0022] Next, the operation and effects of the present embodiment configured as above will be described. When using the training device 1, the assembly position (high position, middle position, low position) of the reflector portion 2 and the assembly body 14 and the support angle of the reflector portion 2 (90 degrees, 75 degrees or 60 degrees) are determined in advance, and the reflector portion 2 and the support portions 3 and 4 are assembled to achieve that height and angle. 9 shows the state when the middle position and the 75 degree angle are selected. When used for soccer goalkeeping practice, the training device 1 is installed so as to be located in front of a soccer goal (not shown). When installing it, the distance between the training device 1 and the soccer goal is changed in advance to check what position on the soccer goal the reflected ball B reaches.

[0023] The kicker (playing the coach) kicks ball B from the lower left direction in Figure 9, and confirms that it is reflected by the reflector 2 and kicked into the inside of the soccer goal. In this state, the person receiving goalkeeping practice (trainee) stands in front of the soccer goal. The coach then kicks ball B into the training device 1, and the trainee practices repeatedly so that he or she can react quickly to the reflected ball B. In Figure 9, the trajectory of ball B is indicated by an X. It is not necessary to kick ball B in the same way (speed, angle, direction) every time; rather, by appropriately changing the strength and angle, practice can be carried out that is closer to the real thing.

[0024] In addition, for field players, it is possible to practice trapping a reflected ball B with the legs, trapping a ball B that has reflected high with the head, chest, or thighs, using the ball game training device as a post player, and practicing passing (one-two). Thus, according to this embodiment, a practice device 1 can be provided that is sturdy enough to allow practice by a plurality of practice persons and allows the other practice persons to manipulate the reflected ball B. Furthermore, according to this embodiment, the following effects can be obtained. 1. For goalkeepers, it is possible to train reflexes and improve skills such as catching and saving. Also, since it is not possible to see the state of the person kicking the ball, it is practice for sudden reactions. 2. Field players can practice trapping rebounded balls. The rebound ball can be returned to the top (which was previously difficult), allowing players to practice trapping the ball with their head, chest, thigh, etc. Players can also practice passing the ball (one-two) or use the training device as a post player.
