[0031] Furthermore, the terms used below are selected for the convenience of explanation; therefore, in grasping the intrinsic technical concept of the present invention, they should not be limited to their dictionary meanings but should be appropriately interpreted in a sense consistent with the technical concept of the present invention.

[0032] Among the attached drawings, FIGS. 1 and FIGS. 2 are schematic drawings illustrating a balloon-shaped device according to the present invention.

[0033] Referring to FIGS. 1 and 2, the balloon-shaped device (100) according to the present invention includes a head (110) that is struck by a user's foot and rebounds (moves upward) in a height direction, a resistor (150) that allows the falling appearance, falling speed, and flight time of the head (110) to be controlled, and a connecting rod (140) that connects the head (110) and the resistor (150).

[0034] First, the head (110) is made of synthetic resin to significantly reduce weight.

[0035] The head (110) includes a base member (112), a connecting cup (120), and a cover member (126), and the base member (112), the connecting cup (120), and the cover member (126) are assembled together to form the head (110).

[0036] The base member (112) includes a flat striking plate (114) and a first side wall (116) that wraps around the perimeter of the striking plate (114) and extends vertically toward the upper side of the striking plate (114), and a receiving portion (118) is provided inside the first side wall (116) to accommodate a connecting cup (120).

[0037] Here, a label (not shown) made of a conventional sticker may be optionally attached to the lower surface of the striking plate (114), and a logo representing the balloon-shaped device (100) according to the present invention is printed on the label.

[0038] Additionally, one or more labels may be optionally attached for the purpose of increasing the falling speed of the balloon-shaped device (100) according to the present invention.

[0039] The connecting cup (120) includes a mounting part (122) provided in a cone shape with a width that gradually narrows toward the upper side, and a head connecting tube (124) that extends vertically from the center of the upper side of the mounting part (122) toward the upper outer side of the mounting part (122).

[0040] At this time, the mounting portion (122) is received into the receiving portion (118) of the base member (112) such that its lower side contacts the upper surface of the striking plate (114), and the lower side of the connecting rod (140) is detachably fitted into the interior of the head connecting tube (124).

[0041] The cover member (126) includes a cover plate (128) and a second side wall (130) that extends vertically toward the lower side of the cover plate (128) while wrapping around the perimeter of the cover plate (128), and a through hole (132) is formed in the center of the cover plate (128) through which the head connecting tube (124) of the connecting cup (120) passes.

[0042] The cover member (126) formed in this way is fitted into the receiving portion (118) such that the outer surface of the second side wall (130) is in close contact with the inner surface of the first side wall (116) while the head connecting tube (124) of the connecting cup (120) is passed through the through hole (132), thereby fixing the connecting cup (120) between the base member (112) and the cover member (126) without shaking.

[0043] Meanwhile, in order to prevent the cover member (126) from being arbitrarily separated from the base member (112) even when the striking plate (114) of the base member (112) is repeatedly struck, a catch projection (134) is formed along the outer surface of the second side wall (130) of the cover member (126), and a catch projection (136) on which the catch projection (134) is hooked is formed along the inner surface of the first side wall (116) of the base member (112).

[0044] Among the attached drawings, FIGS. 3a and FIGS. 3b are drawings showing other embodiments of the head shown in FIGS. 1 and FIGS. 2.

[0045] Referring to FIGS. 3a and 3b, the head (210, 310) may be made of a light and elastic material, preferably ordinary cork.

[0046] The head (210, 310) is provided with a flat upper surface and a hemispherical lower surface as shown in FIGS. 3a and 3b, or is provided with a flat upper surface and a flat lower surface.

[0047] At this time, a head connecting hole (224; see 3a) into which the lower side of the connecting rod (140) is inserted is formed on the upper surface of the head (210) so as to extend vertically from the center of the upper surface of the head (210) toward the inner side of the head (210).

[0048] Additionally, a head connecting tube (324; see FIG. 3b) into which the lower side of the connecting rod (140) is fitted is mounted on the upper surface of the head (310) so as to protrude vertically from the center of the upper surface of the head (310) to the outside of the upper surface of the head (310).

[0049] The connecting rod (140) is provided in the shape of a thin, hollow, vertical tube made of synthetic resin.

[0050] At this time, the lower side of the connecting rod (140) is connected by being inserted into the inner side of the head connecting tube (124, 324) that protrudes vertically from the head (110, 310) or the head connecting hole (224) formed in the head (210), and a resistor (150) is connected to the upper side of the connecting rod (140).

[0051] Here, the connection relationship between the lower side of the connecting rod (140) and the head connecting tube (124, 324) or the head connecting hole (224) is not specifically limited.

[0052] For example, the lower side of the connecting rod (140) fitted into the head connecting tube (124, 324) or head connecting hole (224) can be pressed between one or more gripping protrusions (not shown) that protrude toward the center from the inner circumference of the head connecting tube (124, 324) or head connecting hole (224).

[0053] And the connecting rod (140) is manufactured and provided to have a length of approximately 5 cm to 36 cm so as to absorb impact when the head (110) of the balloon-shaped shuttlecock (100) according to the present invention strikes, and to control the falling speed of the balloon-shaped shuttlecock (100).

[0054] For example, it was found through numerous experiments that when the length of the connecting rod (140) is 24 cm, the balloon-shaped raft (100) according to the present invention rises and falls stably.

[0055] In addition, it was found through numerous experiments that when the length of the connecting rod (140) is 10 cm, the shaking and trembling of the resistor (150) increases, but the balloon-shaped shuttle (100) falls more slowly than when the length of the connecting rod (140) is 24 cm, and it was confirmed that when the length of the connecting rod (140) is 36 cm, the shaking and trembling of the resistor (150) decreases compared to when the length of the connecting rod (140) is 24 cm, but it falls faster.

[0056] Accordingly, the user can optionally connect the head (210) and the resistor (130) using a connecting rod (140) of a length suitable for their level to enjoy playing hacky sack.

[0057] Meanwhile, one or more feathers (142) are attached or fitted to the connecting rod (140) to rotate the balloon-shaped hoist (100) according to the present invention and prevent shaking so that the balloon-shaped hoist (100) can rise and fall more stably.

[0058] The feathers (142) are attached or fitted at equal intervals on the outer surface of the connecting rod (140). For example, the feathers (142) may be attached at 120-degree intervals using a conventional adhesive or the like as shown in FIG. 1, or fitted into a vertically formed groove (144) at 120-degree intervals on the connecting rod (140) as shown in FIG. 2.

[0059] FIGS. 1 and FIGS. 2 illustrate that feathers (142) are attached or mounted at 120-degree intervals, but the spacing at which the feathers (142) are attached and mounted is not limited to 120 degrees.

[0060] Here, the feathers (142) may be any one of natural feathers made from bird feathers, feathers made of rubber, or feathers made of vinyl.

[0061] Among the attached drawings, FIG. 4 is a drawing showing another embodiment of the feathers shown in FIG. 1 and FIG. 2, where the feathers (242) can be made of ordinary stickers and attached to the connecting rod (140).

[0062] In FIG. 4, sticker-shaped feathers (242) are shown spaced apart at 120-degree intervals, but the spacing of the feathers (242) is not limited to 120 degrees.

[0063] Meanwhile, the connecting rod (140) further includes a falling speed adjusting member (146) as shown in FIG. 5a and FIG. 5b.

[0064] The falling speed control member (146) is optionally attached to or fitted onto the connecting rod (140) to increase the falling speed of the balloon-shaped hoist (100) according to the present invention.

[0065] These are provided as a conventional sticker attached spirally to the outer surface of the connecting rod (140) as shown in FIG. 5a, or as a conventional rubber ring fitted onto the connecting rod (140) as shown in FIG. 5b.

[0066] Of course, the drop speed control member (146) can be provided as a sticker and a rubber ring.

[0067] That is, the user can optionally attach or insert one or more drop speed control members (146) to suit their level and enjoy hacky sack.

[0068] The resistor (150) includes a normal balloon (152; balloon) and a normal balloon cup (158) that connects the balloon (152) to a connecting rod (140).

[0069] The balloon (152) includes a pouch (154) whose volume expands by gas injected from the outside, and an inlet (156) formed integrally with the pouch (154) to allow gas to be injected and discharged into the pouch (154).

[0070] At this time, the pouch (154) and the injection port (156) are made of rubber or metallic foil (silver foil) and provided.

[0071] For example, the pocket (154) can expand in volume to a roughly spherical shape when gas is injected through the inlet (156) as shown in FIG. 1.

[0072] Additionally, although not shown, the pocket (154) can expand in volume into a heart shape or a roughly rod shape when gas is injected through the inlet (156).

[0073] In addition, in the case of a pouch (154) that expands in volume into a rod shape, it can expand into a normal twist shape or a normal caterpillar shape.

[0074] Of course, the pocket (154) is not limited to the shape described above and can be formed to expand its volume in various shapes, and the falling shape of the balloon-shaped device (100) according to the present invention can be controlled according to the shape in which the pocket (154) expands.

[0075] And the gas injected into the pocket (154) through the inlet (156) may be any one of normal air, air heated to a predetermined temperature, or helium gas, and by adjusting the amount of gas injected into the pocket (154), the falling speed and flight time of the balloon-shaped device (100) according to the present invention, i.e., the head (110), can be controlled.

[0076] The balloon cup (158) is made of synthetic resin and includes a holder part (160) that allows the inlet (156) of the balloon (152) to be tied, and a balloon connecting tube (164) that connects the balloon (152), with the inlet (156) tied to the holder part (160), to a connecting rod (140).

[0077] The holder portion (160) is provided in a cone shape with a width that gradually narrows toward the lower side so that it can easily contact the area of ​​the pocket (154) adjacent to the injection port (156) when the volume of the pocket (154) is expanded.

[0078] At this time, the holder portion (160) is formed with two or more knot-forming grooves (162) that extend from the outer edge of the holder portion (160) toward the center of the holder portion (160) at equal intervals, so as to allow the injector (156) to be hooked and knotted after gas is injected into the pocket (154) of the balloon (152).

[0079] Here, since it is a known technique to tie a knot by hooking the inlet (156) of the balloon (152) into the knot-forming grooves (162), a detailed description thereof is omitted.

[0080] Meanwhile, the balloon connector (164) is formed to extend vertically from the center of the lower side of the holder part (160) to the lower outer side of the holder part (160).

[0081] The upper side of the connecting rod (140) is inserted into the inner side of the balloon connecting tube (164) formed in this way.

[0082] Here, the connection relationship between the upper side of the balloon connector (164) and the connecting rod (140) is not specifically limited, but for example, the upper side of the connecting rod (140) can be pressed into the inner side of the balloon connector (164) between one or more gripping protrusions (not shown) protruding from the inner surface of the balloon connector (164) toward the center.

[0083] Preferably, the head (110, 210, 310), connecting rod (140), and resistor (150) constituting the balloon-shaped device (100) according to the present invention may be provided as a kit in a set so that the user can assemble and use it directly.

[0084] The balloon-shaped shuttlecock (100) according to the present invention formed in this way allows the user to arbitrarily adjust the falling appearance, falling speed, and flight time according to their own level depending on the shape of the balloon (152) constituting the resistor (150) and the gas injected into the balloon (152), so that even beginners who are new to it can easily and enjoyably repeat the shuttlecock kicking many times.

[0085] In addition, the balloon-shaped shuttlecock (100) according to the present invention can be easily kicked repeatedly by anyone, regardless of age or gender, which can increase interest in shuttlecock kicking, and thus contribute to the popularization of shuttlecock kicking, as well as promote Korea's traditional games to foreigners.
