Description

[0001] Kick scooter for playing ball

[0002] Field of invention

[0003] The invention relates to a kick scooter. This scooter comprises a front chassis support with a front wheel, a rear chassis support with a rear wheel, and a footboard. The front and rear chassis supports connect to the footboard at opposite ends. The kick scooter also includes a handlebar, which connects to the front chassis support.

[0004] background

[0005] A kick scooter is a muscle-powered, two-wheeled small vehicle with a low-lying footboard on which a person can stand and move around. It is propelled by pushing off with one leg and is usually made of aluminum.

[0006] Kick scooters serve as a means of transportation, providing simple, mobile movement on roads. Furthermore, there are kick scooters that can be easily folded when not in use. When folded, a kick scooter can, for example, be carried on a train as hand luggage.

[0007] Furthermore, kick scooters are also used as sports equipment. On the one hand for racing, but on the other hand also for tricks like in BMX or skateboarding.

[0008] Description of the invention

[0009] The task is to expand a kick scooter, which serves as a sports device, for use in other sports.

[0010] JHR Patent Specification, docx This problem is solved by the subject matter of the independent claim. Accordingly, a kick scooter comprises a front chassis support with a front wheel, a rear chassis support with a rear wheel, and a footboard. The front and rear chassis supports connect to the footboard at opposite ends. Furthermore, the kick scooter comprises a handlebar which connects to the front chassis support.

[0011] A playing device, in particular a striking device, which could also be called a playing device, is arranged in front of the front wheel. The playing device comprises a front surface for striking, guiding, or hitting a ball. Alternatively or additionally, a striking device is arranged on the rear wheel. This comprises at least a first wall, which is arranged laterally to the rear wheel. The striking device serves to strike a ball in a lateral direction.

[0012] The described kick scooter has the advantage that a user can easily and controllably move a ball forward or hit it sideways. This makes it possible, for example, to play football with the kick scooter.

[0013] The play mechanism and / or striking device on the scooter are advantageously removable, especially without tools. This allows the user to easily remove the play mechanism and / or striking device and use the scooter solely as a means of transportation and not just as a sports device. In other words, the scooter can be used functionally as a means of transportation with the play mechanism and / or striking device removed. If the user wishes to use the scooter again as a sports device after a ride, for example, to play ball, they simply reattach the play mechanism and / or striking device.

[0014] JHR patent specification, docx. In particular, the play device comprises a mounting device, wherein the mounting device, when the play device is mounted, includes the handlebar. The mounting device can also be a clamping device with which the play device can be easily clamped to the scooter, in particular to the handlebar.

[0015] Advantageously, the front surface of the playing device is inclined towards the vertical or the steering rod, particularly such that the lower side of the front surface is positioned further forward than the upper side. In particular, the inclination corresponds to an angle of at least 5°, more specifically at least 10°, and more specifically at least 15°. This inclination makes it particularly easy to guide a ball with the front surface. It also prevents the front surface from pressing the ball against the ground.

[0016] In particular, the playing device is at least 3 cm, and in particular at least 5 cm, and / or a maximum of 12 cm, and in particular a maximum of 10 cm, away from the underside of the front wheel in the vertical direction. Since the wheel runs on the ground, the playing device is positioned at a corresponding distance from the ground. If the distance is a certain minimum, it prevents the playing device from colliding with the ground. However, the distance of the playing device from the ground must not be too great, otherwise the ball could become trapped between the playing device and the ground.

[0017] The front surface of the play device should ideally have an area of ​​at least 100 cm². 2 , in particular at least 200 cm 2 , in particular at least 300 cm 2 If the front surface is large enough, the user can easily hit the ball.

[0018] In particular, the play device has lateral walls. These lateral walls extend from the front surface of the play device on both sides along the front wheel to the rear.

[0019] JHR patent specification, docx These walls serve to strike, push and guide the ball laterally at the front of the scooter.

[0020] In a special design, the striking device can be mounted on the scooter, specifically on the footboard at the front near the rear wheel, using a clamping or tensioning device. This allows for easy assembly and disassembly of the striking device by the user.

[0021] Specifically, the first wall is located on one side of the rear wheel, and a second wall is located on the other side of the rear wheel. The rear wheel is thus positioned between the first and second walls. A wall on both sides has the advantage that the user can hit a ball on either side. This allows for more flexible control over the ball.

[0022] In particular, the striking device has a contact surface above the rear wheel, especially a horizontal contact surface.

[0023] Advantageously, a braking device is arranged above the rear wheel, which is not part of the impact mechanism. The braking device is designed to exert a braking effect on the rear wheel. The impact mechanism is designed so that the braking device is operable by the scooter user. This ensures that the user can brake the scooter while in motion, even when the impact mechanism is located on the rear wheel.

[0024] Advantageously, the first wall, laterally adjacent to the rear wheel, should have a side surface of at least 100 cm². 2 , in particular at least 200 cm 2 , in particular at least 300 cm 2 This allows the user of the scooter to hit a ball with pinpoint accuracy.

[0025] In particular, the playing device and / or the striking device are injection-molded parts, bent parts, cast parts or parts made of wood or bamboo.

[0027] Further embodiments, advantages, and applications of the invention will become apparent from the dependent claims and from the following description with reference to the figures. These figures show:

[0028] Fig. 1 shows a kick scooter without a mounted play device and without a mounted striking device serving as a means of transport;

[0029] Fig. 2 shows the kick scooter with mounted play device and mounted striking device serving as sports equipment; and

[0030] Fig. 3 shows a schematic representation of the mounting of the game device on the steering rod.

[0031] Way to implement the invention

[0032] Figure 1 shows a kick scooter. This comprises a front chassis 1 with a front wheel 2 and a rear chassis 3 with a rear wheel 4. The front chassis 1 and the rear chassis 3 connect to a footboard 5 located between them. Above the front chassis 1, a handlebar 6 extends vertically upwards. The handlebar 6 is used to steer the front wheel 2. A kick scooter, as shown in Figure 1, is a known design and can be used as a means of transportation.

[0033] Figure 2 shows the same kick scooter 1. However, unlike Figure 1, this scooter is fitted with a play device 7 and a striking device 8 to use it as a sports device. The play device 7 is mounted above the front wheel 2 and has a front surface 9 for striking a ball, for example, in the direction indicated by arrow 10. The striking device 8 is mounted above the rear wheel 2.

[0034] JHR patent specification, docx Rades 4 mounted and has at least a first wall 11 to strike a ball laterally, for example in the direction indicated by arrow 12.

[0035] The play device 7 and the striking device 8 can be easily assembled and disassembled by the user of the kick scooter without tools. That is, the user can switch back and forth between the state of the kick scooter as a means of transport, as shown in Fig. 1, and the state of the kick scooter as a sports device, as shown in Fig. 2.

[0036] Figure 3 schematically shows how the toy device 9 is mounted on the steering rod 6. The toy device 9 has a mounting device 13, which includes two clamping devices 14. In the mounted state, the mounting device 13, or rather the two clamping devices 14, encompasses the steering rod 6. That is, the toy device 9 is clamped to the steering rod 6 by means of the mounting device 13.

[0037] A wedge 15 is connected to the clamping devices 14. The play device 7 is attached to this wedge with its front surface 9. As a result, the front surface 9 of the play device 7 is inclined at an angle 16 of 20° relative to the steering rod 6.

[0038] The play device 7 is spaced 8 cm away from the ground 17, on which the scooter travels, at a distance 18. The front surface 9 has an area of ​​approximately 300 cm². 2 Furthermore, the playing device has 7 lateral walls 19, which extend from the front surface 9 on both sides along the front wheel to the rear. A ball can be struck laterally by means of the lateral walls 19.

[0039] The striking device 8, located on the rear wheel 4, is mounted on the scooter by means of a clamping device 20. The clamping device 20 runs below the footboard 5 and is shown by dashed lines. The clamping device 20 is used to

[0040] JHR patent specification, docx the striking device 8 is clamped to the footboard 5 and thereby fixed.

[0041] The striking device 8 has, in addition to the first wall 11 on one side of the rear wheel 4, a second wall 21 on the other side of the rear wheel 4. Thus, when the striking device 8 is mounted, the rear wheel 4 lies between the first wall 11 and the second wall 21. A ball can be struck laterally, for example in the direction indicated by arrow 22, using the second wall 21. The first wall 11 and the second wall 21 are each approximately 300 cm long. 2 large .

[0042] There is also a horizontal support surface 23 on the upper side of the striking device 8.

[0043] As can be clearly seen in Fig. 1, a brake device 24 is arranged above the rear wheel 4. When the user presses down on the brake device 24 with their foot, the brake device 24 exerts a braking force on the rear wheel 4. Even when the impact device 8 is mounted, as shown in Fig. 2, the user still has the option of pressing the brake 24 with their foot. For this purpose, the impact device 8 is left open at the front, so that the brake device 24 is accessible.

[0044] While preferred embodiments of the invention are described in the present application, it should be clearly pointed out that the invention is not limited to these and can also be carried out in other ways within the scope of the following claims.
