MULTISPORT SPACE FOR THE PRACTICE OF GOAL SPORTS AND NET SPORTS

Abstract

The multisport space includes a plurality of different fields for goal sports and net sports. There is a first square or rectangular area for goal sports delimited by a vertical wall. The first goal sports area has a goal sports field in which the goals are vertical and extend from ground level. There is a goal sports field in which the goals are horizontal and placed at a certain height. The panels of the vertical wall form nets for a plurality of net sports fields arranged on either side of the panels of the vertical wall. Extensions of panels, leading from their respective implantation axes, also form nets for net sports fields.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0056] It will immediately be noted that the figures are not to scale.

[0057] In a more general manner, the scope of the present invention is not limited to the embodiments described above by way of non-limiting example, but instead covers all modifications within the abilities of a person skilled in the art. Each feature of one embodiment can be implemented alone or in combination with any other feature of any other embodiment, in an advantageous manner.

[0058] FIG. 1 shows a multisport complex 20 according to a particular embodiment of the present invention. Said multisport complex 20 consists of a plurality of different pitches for goal sports and net sports. Said complex comprises a first square goal sports area 21 delimited by a vertical wall 22, said first goal sports area 21 comprising a pitch 23 for goal sports for which the goals are vertical and start from ground level, and a pitch 24 for goal sports for which the goals are horizontal and positioned at a height.

[0059] The sections of the vertical wall 22 surrounding the first goal sports area 21 form nets of a plurality of net sports pitches 25 over which net sports projectiles have to pass, said net sports pitches 25 being arranged on either side of the sections of the vertical wall 22. In FIG. 1 it can be seen that each vertical wall 22 section forms net of two net sports pitches 25. Depending on the horizontal dimensions of the first goal sports area 21 selected and the dimensions of the net sports pitches 25 selected, each vertical wall 22 section can form nets of more than two net sports pitches 25.

[0060] In the region of the four angles of the first goal sports area 21, the two sections set up according to two perpendicular axes in order to form each angle each comprise a section extension 26, in the extension of the respective set-up axis thereof, said extensions 26 proceeding from said angle towards the outside of the first goal sports area 21.

[0061] Each section extension 26 forms a net of at least one net sports pitch 25, over which net sports projectiles must pass, the two net sports pitches 25 thus formed extending along perpendicular axes. Each extension 26 can form a net of more than one net sports pitch 25, for example a net of two or three net sports pitches 25, or more.

[0062] Furthermore, the nets formed by each vertical wall 22 section or formed by each section extension 26 can each have the upper edge thereof at different heights, with respect to one another, relative to the ground. Thus, depending on the horizontal dimensions of the first playing area 21 selected, the dimensions of the net sports pitches 25 selected, and the heights selected (which may be different) for the nets formed by each vertical wall 22 section and formed by each section extension 26 for each of the net sports pitches 25, it is possible to practice a plurality of different net sports simultaneously, or not, on the multisport complex 20. For example, two, three, four or even five different net sports can be practiced simultaneously, or not, on the multisport complex 20.

[0063] For each pair of consecutive angles formed by the sections of the vertical wall 22, the section extensions 26 of the two consecutive angles which are mutually parallel form two opposing limits of an additional square or rectangular goal sports area 27 comprising a pitch 23 for goal sports for which the goals are vertical and start from ground level, and a pitch 24 for goal sports for which the goals are horizontal and positioned at a height.

[0064] According to an embodiment, for each wall section, the net or nets formed by the wall section, and the nets formed by the extensions of said wall section, have upper edges at the same height relative to the ground, in order to allow for a plurality of identical net sports pitches 25 to be set up in parallel, in the same axis, and thus for the same sport to be practiced simultaneously on said identical net sports pitches 25. The upper edges of the nets formed by a first wall section of the first goal sports area 21 and of the nets formed by the extensions 26 of said first section are at a height, relative to the ground, that is different from the height, relative to the ground, of the upper edges of the nets formed by a second wall section that is perpendicular to the first section, and the nets formed by the extensions 26 of said second section, said different heights being suitable for the practice of different net sports. Indeed, for each pair of parallel sections and the extensions 26 thereof (which are likewise parallel), the upper edges of the nets formed by said parallel sections, and of the nets formed by the extensions thereof, are at the same height relative to the ground.

[0065] Thus, according to this embodiment, a first net sport X (for example volleyball) can be played on the net sports pitches 25 arranged on either side of a first section and the extensions 26 thereof, and also on the net sports pitches 25 arranged on either side of the section in parallel with the first section, and the extensions 26 of said parallel section. A second net sport Y (for example badminton) that is different from the first can be played on the net sports pitches 25 arranged on either side of each of the two other parallel sections and the extensions 26 thereof.

[0066] Possible configurations of the multisport complex 20 according to the embodiment above, for four different sports that can be practiced (goal sports having horizontal goals, goal sports having vertical goals, net sport X and net sport Y) are shown in FIG. 2 when a single one of said sports is practiced at a time in the multisport complex, and in FIG. 3 when it is necessary to practice two different sports simultaneously (for example at a school, when two classes wish to play two different sports on the multisport complex), in FIG. 4 when it is necessary to practice three different sports simultaneously, and in FIG. 5 when it is necessary to practice four different sports simultaneously.

[0067] The goal sports having horizontal goals can be basketball, the goal 15 sport having vertical goals can be football, net sport X can be volleyball, and net sport Y can be badminton.

[0068] It will be noted that, for practicing one single sport at a time (FIG. 2), it is possible to simultaneously use five pitches for goal sports having vertical goals, or to simultaneously use five pitches for goal sports having horizontal goals, or to simultaneously use eight pitch for net sport X or Y.

[0069] It will furthermore be noted that, in order to practice two different sports simultaneously (FIG. 3), it is possible to use up to seven pitches simultaneously, depending on the sports selected. The same applies for the practice of three different sports simultaneously (FIG. 4).

[0070] In order to practice four different sports simultaneously (FIG. 5), it is possible to use up to six pitches simultaneously, depending on the sports selected.
