Definitions

  • the invention relates to a trailer for automobiles, composed of a loading platform surmounting rolling means and comprising, on the one hand, coupling means and, on the other hand, drop sides secured to the longitudinal and transverse edges of said loading platform.
  • This invention relates, more particularly, to the industry specialized in the field of leisure.
  • a ramp substantially inclined and arranged in parallel with the playing track, ensures the rolling of said balls by gravity.
  • these installations are designed so that it cannot be envisaged to move them from one place to another without it requiring considerable work.
  • removable type skittles composed of dismountable elements in order to be able to ensure transport.
  • These elements consist, essentially, of a mat made of flexible material, simulating the playground and a ball return ramp. This is formed by a plurality of interlocking profiles, arranged, during play, one behind the other, the profile located downstream of the playground forming an inclined plane to give sufficient speed to the balls so that those - they can reach the upstream end of the playground.
  • bumpers arranged at the rear of the location of the pins serve as a braking and blocking element for the balls.
  • the present invention aims to remedy all of the aforementioned drawbacks by proposing a trailer for automobiles making it possible to deploy and fold up the flexible mat forming the bowling alley without any difficulty and without any particular effort.
  • this loading platform is provided with side panels which make it possible to define a container facilitating the transport of various objects.
  • the invention solves the problem of creating a trailer for automobiles composed of a loading platform surmounting rolling means and comprising, on the one hand, coupling means and , on the other hand, side panels integral with the longitudinal and transverse edges of said loading platform, this trailer being further provided with means for winding and unwinding a mat of flexible material constituting the track of a game of bowling.
  • the present invention relates to a trailer 1 for automobiles, more particularly intended for the transport and handling of a set of skittles 2.
  • this trailer 1 comprises a loading plate 3 surmounting rolling means 4 known per se. It is also provided with coupling means 5 ensuring its articulated connection to the towing vehicle.
  • Said loading platform 3 is also provided, on its longitudinal 6 and transverse 7 edges, with drop sides respectively 8, 9, defining a container to facilitate the transport of various objects.
  • skittles 2 As for the game of skittles 2, it consists of balls 10 and skittles 11, the first allowing the player to knock down the latter. It is also provided with a mat of flexible material 12 constituting the playground and preferably having a triangular shape, the base 13 of which serves as a location for the pins 11.
  • the main advantage of the triangular shape of this flexible mat 12 consists, essentially, in a reduction in the weight and size of the latter during transport and in its handling during assembly or folding of the game of skittles 2.
  • This deflection ramp 14 extends, parallel to the playground and allows to easily return the different balls to the player from the location of the pins 11. By having such deflection ramps 14, on either side flexible mat 12, there is a playground outside of which the balls 10 can not move.
  • the characteristic of the trailer 1, adapted to the game of skittles 2, consists in that it comprises, according to a characteristic of the invention, means 15 for winding up and unwinding the mat of flexible material 12.
  • these means 15 are formed by a horizontal spindle 16 maintained, at its ends 17, 18, in free rotation in housings arranged for this purpose, either in the side panels 8 integral with the longitudinal edges 6 of the loading platform 3, or in the sides 9 arranged transversely on the latter.
  • these housings produced in the sides 8 or 9 are provided with rolling means facilitating the rotation of the spindle 16.
  • this upstream end 20 with the horizontal pin 16 in order to ensure the winding of the flexible mat 12.
  • the downstream end 19 of the latter is, under these conditions, firmly fixed to the loading platform 3.
  • the intervention of motor means for ensuring the drive of the spindle 16 gives the trailer 1 an automatic character whose objective is to further facilitate the assembly and disassembly of the game of skittles 2.
  • these motor means can be of the electric type supplied by energy production means corresponding to the vehicle towing the trailer 1.
  • the latter can also be provided with energy supply means autonomous electric, such as a battery to ensure the operation of said motor means.
  • the latter are constituted by a disengageable drive mechanism connecting the rolling means 4 to the spindle 16 to give the latter a rotational movement in a determined direction during the retraction or trailer advance 1.
  • a mixed solution is also proposed, according to which the unwinding of the flexible mat 12 is obtained following a traction exerted on the latter and the winding of which takes place by animating the trailer 1 either with a forward movement or with a backward movement.
  • this drive mechanism is necessarily disengageable to block the spindle 16 in rotation during transport.
  • the trailer constitutes a collection area 23 for the balls 10 and, for this purpose, comprises braking and blocking means 24 of said balls 10 arriving at the end of the playing track formed, substantially, by the downstream end 19 of the flexible mat 12.
  • these means 24 preferably consist of a stopper 25 composed of at least one apron 26 of flexible material arranged, slightly, upstream of the trailer 1 above the flexible mat 12 and in a vertical plane parallel to the spindle 16.
  • This deck 26 is held in this position by means of supports 27 formed, advantageously, of two arms 28, 29. These are fixed, at their rear end 30, 31 to the trailer 1 and maintain, at their free end 32, 33, a cross member 34 to which the upper edge 35 of said deck 26 is fixed.
  • the deck 26 extends above the flexible mat 12 over a height substantially greater than the diameter of the balls 10. These can thus, because of their speed, cause lifting apron 26 then move, with a considerably reduced speed, towards the collection area 23.
  • the stopper 25 is provided with a second apron 36 fixed to the arms 28, 29 by means of a cross member 37 arranged downstream. of the first deck 26.
  • This slowing down of the balls 10 can also be obtained by constituting by means of the loading platform 3 and the rear drop side 9, leading to the latter, an inclined plane.
  • the trailer 11 is, under these conditions, tilted in the rear position, tilting caused by the simple weight of the flexible mat 12 resting on the rear part 38 of the loading platform 3.
  • the balls 10, beyond the first deck 26, are brought to climb this inclined plane and, finally, to restore their kinetic energy.
  • the arms 28, 29 constituting the support means 27 are preferably of retractable nature so that, at the end of the game, they can take place in the trailer 1.
  • Figures 4 to 6 show such braking and blocking means 24 of the balls 10 executed in three different modes.
  • arms 28, 29 supporting two decks 26, 36 and applying, mainly, to a trailer 1 taking a tilted position during play.
  • these arms 28, 29 are held horizontally, on the one hand, by guides 39 integral with the upper edges 40 of the sides 8 attached to the longitudinal edges 6 of the loading platform 3.
  • the rear end 30, 31 of these arms 28, 29 is introduced into means dampers41 fixed either to said loading platform 3, or to the sidewalls 8.
  • damping means 41 also contribute to a progressive restitution of the kinetic energy accumulated by the balls 10 and thereby avoid the effects of shock.
  • the arms 28, 29 are disengaged from their respective shock-absorbing means 41 and are slidably inserted into other guides 42 present near the upper edge 40 of the side panels 8.
  • the rear side panel 9 is, then, reassemble in its vertical position and close the container of trailer 1.
  • the arms 28, 29 are fixed at an angle 43 to the rear drop side 9. Therefore, depending on whether the latter is folded down and rests on the ground or is in the raised position, said arms 28, 29 emerge at the rear of the trailer 1 or are retracted in the latter.
  • the cross member 34 to which the apron 26 is fixed is preferably pivotally mounted at the free end 32, 33 of the arms 28, 29 so as to guarantee said apron 26 its vertical position during play. that this embodiment applies, indifferently, to trailers kept horizontal during play or forming an inclined plane.
  • the solution proposed in FIG. 6 consists in replacing the arms 28, 29 with the rear drop side 9. It is provided, under these conditions, with two crosspieces 34, 37 to which are fixed flexible material decks 26, 36. This configuration requires the trailer 1 to be kept in a horizontal position during play. To this end, this the latter is provided, in its rear part 44, with retractable feet 45 preventing it from tilting under the influence of the weight of flexible mat 12.
  • the trailer 1 is provided with attachment means 46, such as a chain, fixed to the longitudinal drop sides 8 and limiting the pivot angle of the rear drop side 9 relative to the loading platform 3.
  • This rear drop side 9 is therefore kept in a horizontal position above the flexible mat 12.
  • the decks 26, 36 these occupy, under these conditions, a vertical position due to their cross members 34, 37 mounted articulated on the rear drop side 9.
  • This trailer 1 by reason of its sufficient planned size, will also make it possible to accommodate the various profiles forming the return ramps 14 of the balls 10, but also the latter, as well as the pins 11.
  • this trailer 1 will serve as a housing for all of the accessories necessary for practicing the game of bowling. Furthermore, a tarpaulin or a cover 47 will close the assembly.
  • the trailer 1 in accordance with the invention, gives the skittles 2 a mobility hitherto unequaled. It contributes, therefore, to the extension of the practice of this sport which could not know the success it deserved in because of the very small number of existing installations to date.
