Description

Cane for driving a hoop toy.

Object of the invention

The present invention relates to a cane for the drive of a toy ring, the type of which they comprise a posterior portion for their grip and they present in its anterior end a lower extension as a "U" for the drive of a toy ring. This cane presents in its previous end a configuration intended to prevent the hoop from escape, moving uncontrollably, in case of advancing to a faster than the player.

Field of application of the invention

The cane of the invention is applicable in the toy sector and more specifically in the traditional game of the hoop.

Background of the invention

The hoop game has been known for decades conformed by a hoop and a cane provided at its end front of a fork or "U" configuration used for propel the ring, forcing it to roll and guide it laterally. Traditionally this toy was built in a homemade way using as a hoop a bicycle tire, and shaping the cane with a hard wire nailed or fixed at the front end of a stick.

This hoop game is basically of skill since the player must push the hoop through the area rear-bottom with the background of the configuration in "U" of the cane to cause said ring to move rolling, and control the inclination of the hoop by the wings or side of the "U" configuration.

Obviously the hoop control is done with more ease when it rotates at a certain speed, since when it is practically stopped it is difficult to keep vertical position.

However, the practice of this game in pending land has the risk that the hoop advances to a higher speed than the player, freeing from the configuration in "U" of the cane, with the consequent risk of said ring fall into an inaccessible area, or impact on any person or object during uncontrolled displacement causing various damages

An obvious solution to solve this problematic would be to close the "U" configuration used for driving and guiding the hoop; however this solution would drastically reduce the difficulty of the game, which means a contradiction when it comes precisely to a game of ability.

Therefore the technical problem that arises is the development of a cane to drive a toy ring, intended for use in the traditional hoop game and that present constructive particularities aimed at preventing the ring escapes and moves uncontrollably in the case of advance at a faster speed than the player, but without limiting the possibility that the hoop may fall laterally due to a lack of skill of the player, thus maintaining the difficulty of the game.

Description of the invention

The cane for the drive of a toy ring object of the invention, being of the type mentioned above and which comprise a rear grip area, and a lower extension as a "U" at its front end to the drive of a toy ring, presents some peculiarities constructive oriented to solve the exposed problem, is say, to prevent the ring from escaping, moving uncontrollably in case of advancing at a speed greater than the player; allowing however the cane that the ring can fall laterally in case the player does not perform a correct guidance thereof with the sides of the lower extension as a "OR".

For this and according to the invention the cane has a frontal extension in its anterior end "U", arranged in an oblique plane with respect to the extension lower mentioned above and usual in this type of Canes.

The aforementioned frontal extension is found open towards the back area forming a limiting means of the advance of the ring with respect to the cane.

Thus, in the event that the ring exceeds the speed of the cane said ring will be released from the extension bottom as a "U" going into the frontal extension that is located in one more position advanced and open towards the back area, avoiding said frontal extension that the ring moves at a higher speed than the cane

According to the invention both the lower extension as the frontal extension present their U-shaped configurations aligned and curved towards the same lateral, in opposite directions, which determines that between extensions a lateral opening is defined for the introduction of the ring, and the ring can also escape lateral opening in case the player does not perform correctly the lateral guide of the ring by means of the cane.

Description of the figures

To complement the description that is being performing and in order to facilitate the understanding of characteristics of the invention, is attached herein descriptive a set of drawings in which, for illustrative purposes and not limiting, the following has been represented:

- Figure 1 shows perspective view of a example of embodiment of the cane for driving a ring of toy according to the invention.

- Figure 2 shows a profile view of the cane in a position of use and during the drive of the hoop with the lower extension as a "U" of the cane.

- Figure 3 shows a view similar to the previous during the limitation of the advance of the ring with the "U" front extension of the cane.

Preferred Embodiment of the Invention

As can be seen in the attached figures the cane (1) has a rear grip area (11) and in its front end a lower extension (12) as a "U" for driving a toy ring (A); presenting the cane the particularity of understanding at said previous end a front extension (13) also "U" configuration and arranged in an oblique plane with respect to the lower extension (12) as can be seen more clearly in Figures 2 and 3.

The usual lower extension (12) and known in this type of canes is the one used to act on the posterior-inferior area of the ring (A) for get your drive and roll progress as shown in Figure 2

The frontal extension (13) incorporated in the cane of the invention allows to limit or retain the advance of the ring (A) when it is traveling at a speed greater than the cane (1) preventing its uncontrolled advance, as shown in the figure 3.

The lower and frontal extensions (12, 13) present their "U" configurations aligned, facing and curved to the same side, therefore in opposite directions, being defined between said lower and frontal extensions (12, 13) a side opening (14) for the placement of the ring (A) in inside and through which you can escape the ring (A) in case of no Be guided correctly by the player.

Once nature is sufficiently described of the invention, as well as a preferred embodiment, for the appropriate purposes that the materials, form, size and arrangement of the elements described may be modified, as long as this does not imply an alteration of the essential features of the invention claimed in continuation.

Walking stick for driving a toy ring, of the type comprising a rear grip area (11) and at its front end a lower extension (12) as a "U" for driving a ring ( A) toy; characterized in that it comprises a front extension (13) in "U" at said front end, arranged in an oblique plane with respect to the lower extension (12), open towards the rear area and forming a means for limiting the advance of the ring (A) with respect to the cane (1). 2. A cane according to claim 1, characterized in that the lower and frontal extensions (12, 13) have their "U" configurations aligned and curved towards the same side, in opposite directions; being defined between said lower and front extensions (12, 13) a lateral opening (14) for the introduction and removal of the ring (A).
