Definitions

  • the invention relates to a container for table tennis balls with an elongated prismatic or tubular lockable container body for receiving a plurality of table tennis balls arranged one behind the other in the longitudinal direction of the container.
  • Table tennis balls are usually sold in containers of the type mentioned above.
  • the players When playing table tennis, the players have the difficulty of having several balls ready so that they do not have to chase after every missed ball. Usually the players put the balls in their pockets. Not only is this uncomfortable, it also carries the risk of damaging the balls.
  • German utility model 85 12 171 which consists of an approximately 25 cm long square tube There is plastic, one side surface of which is inclined at an angle to the longitudinal axis and which has an open platform with a ball stop edge at one end.
  • the square tube can be attached to the table tennis table so that the balls always roll against the edge of the ball on an inclined plane. This means that a ball is always at hand for the player on the platform.
  • the invention has for its object to provide a ball dispenser that is easier and cheaper to manufacture.
  • the container body has at least one of its longitudinal ends in a wall section parallel to its longitudinal axis a ball outlet opening and at a diametrically opposite point to this a smaller compared to the ball diameter discharge opening.
  • the solution according to the invention offers the possibility of using the packaging container in which the table tennis balls are offered and sold as a ball dispenser. After removing a cover that closes the ball exit opening until the table tennis balls are used, the container can then be attached to the table tennis table so that it points downward with the ball exit end. The ball lying in the ejection position in front of the ball outlet opening can be pushed out of the ball outlet opening by the player with his finger through the ejection opening. After the ball is removed, the next ball automatically falls into the eject position.
  • the edge of the ball outlet opening is preferably at least partially circular in shape with a radius of curvature corresponding to the ball radius, so that the ball must be pushed through the ball outlet opening against a small frictional resistance and the automatic rolling out of the ball out of the container is avoided.
  • an elastically deflectable first inhibiting element protrudes into the path of the ball in the ejection position, which prevents the ball from automatically rolling out through the ball outlet opening.
  • an elastically deflectable second inhibiting element projects into the path of a ball moving into the ejection position.
  • the container outlet opening can be closed by a flap which is pivotably articulated on the container wall.
  • the flap can be formed in one piece with one of the container walls in a simple manner along a fold line forming the pivot axis. Until the table tennis balls are used, the flap can simultaneously form the cover for the ball exit opening by connecting the flap along its later free edges to the container wall by means of predetermined separating lines, on which the flap can then be torn open in a simple manner.
  • the second inhibiting element can be connected in one piece to the flap, with it pointing towards the flap pivot axis on the opposite side of the flap.
  • the flap prevents a ball from automatically escaping through the ball outlet opening. If the ball is ejected, the flap is pivoted outwards, with the second inhibiting element in the form of a tongue being turned inwards swings the container in and prevents the next ball from advancing until the flap pivots back into its starting position after the previous ball has emerged, the second inhibiting element clearing the way for the advancing ball, which due to the flap being closed again does not pass through the Ball exit opening can exit automatically.
  • the flap and the inhibiting element connected to it as well as the pivoting resistance of the flap can also be chosen such that the open flap is held in its substantially horizontal position by the balls pressing on the second inhibiting element without a ball reaching the ejection position. Only by swiveling the flap up further is the path cleared for a moving ball. In this way, the player can control the advancement of the balls by operating the flap.
  • the container can be attached to the table tennis table in the manner already known from the utility model 85 12 171, for example by means of a self-adhesive Velcro tape, by means of a self-adhesive tape or with adhesive knobs.
  • the solution according to the invention has the advantage that the packaging container for table tennis balls, which is already present, was designed with the least additional effort so that it can still be used as a ball dispenser.
  • FIG. 1 you can see a generally designated 10 packaging box for receiving table tennis balls.
  • the box 10 comprises a cuboid body 12 which can be closed at its longitudinal ends by tabs or flaps 14 and 16 in a manner known per se.
  • the inner dimensions of the box body 12 are selected such that a plurality of table tennis balls 18 can be arranged one behind the other or one above the other in the longitudinal direction of the box, as shown in FIG. 2.
  • a ball outlet opening 22 is formed in a side wall 20 of the box body 12, the dimensions of which are selected such that a table tennis ball 18 fits straight through the opening, and which is initially closed by a flap 24.
  • This flap 24 is first connected to the side wall 20 along a U-shaped edge region 26 by a predetermined dividing line, along which the flap 24 can be separated from the side wall 20 so that it is pivotably articulated on the side wall 20 about a folding line 28 forming the pivot axis is.
  • a tab or tongue 30 is connected to the flap 24 and points with respect to the pivot axis 28 to the side opposite the flap 24.
  • an ejection opening 34 is formed which is smaller than the diameter of a table tennis ball 18.
  • one of the table tennis balls 18 is always in the ejection position, so that a table tennis player can eject a ball with his finger 36 through the ball outlet opening 22, as shown in FIG. 2.
  • the flap 24 is pivoted outward by the emerging table tennis ball 18, the tongue 30 connected to the flap 24 swiveling into the interior of the box 10 and preventing the subsequent table tennis ball 18 from moving back into the eject position. Only when the table tennis ball 18 has exited through the ball exit opening 22 and the flap 24 swings back into its closed position can the next table tennis ball 18 move into the eject position, whereby it is then prevented from automatically rolling out of the box 10 by the closed flap 24.
  • Fig. 3 shows a modified embodiment in which the ball exit opening 22 is not closed by a flap. Until use, the ball exit opening 22 can be broken by any breakable or tearable ab cover be closed. An automatic rolling out of a ball 18 through the ball outlet opening 22 is prevented in the embodiment according to FIG. 3 in a simple manner by providing an inwardly pushable nose 42 in one or in both side walls 38, 40 of the box body 12 adjoining the side wall 20 is that brakes the table tennis ball 18 located in the ejection position 18 sufficiently to prevent it from rolling out automatically.
  • a corresponding nose or tongue 44 can be formed above the ball ejection opening 22 in the side wall 20, which brakes the ball 18 advancing into the ejection position in such a way that it does not automatically fall out of the box due to the momentum when advancing.
  • the openings, flaps and lugs can be produced in a simple manner by means of a few additional punch cuts during the production of the folding box.
