Play device intended for juggling

Abstract

The invention relates to a play device intended for juggling, comprising upper branches, and lower branches, an upper linking part, and a lower linking part, the upper and lower linking parts being aligned along a main axis, and a peripheral armature, of annular shape arranged between the upper linking part and the lower linking part along the main axis, said upper branches and lower branches forming an external envelope delimiting an interior space of the play device and being configured to deform in such a way that the device passes from an initial shape to a bowed shape when a user bounces the play device on his body, and from the bowed shape to the initial shape after the bounce.

1 . Play device intended for juggling, comprising first branches, called upper branches, and second branches, called lower branches, a first linking part, called upper linking part, and a second linking part, called lower linking part, the upper and lower linking parts being aligned along an axis, called main axis, and an armature called peripheral armature, with an annular shape or a substantially annular shape, arranged between the upper linking part and the lower linking part along the main axis, the peripheral armature extending about the main axis and orthogonally or substantially orthogonally to it, the upper branches extending from the upper linking part to the peripheral armature, the lower branches extending from the lower linking part to the peripheral armature, said upper branches and lower branches forming an external envelope delimiting an interior space of the play device and being configured to deform in such a way that the device passes from an initial shape to a bowed shape when a user bounces the play device on their body, and from the bowed shape to the initial shape after the bounce. 
     
     
         2 . Play device according to  claim 1 , wherein the armature is formed by a lower edge and an upper edge parallel to one another, the device comprising a first part, called upper part, and a second part, called lower part, the lower part comprising the lower linking part, the lower branches and the lower edge, the upper part comprising the upper linking part, the upper branches and the upper edge, the upper part and the lower part being configured to be assembled together, by securing together the lower edge and the upper edge. 
     
     
         3 . Play device according to  claim 1 , wherein the external envelope has a substantially spherical or ovoid general shape. 
     
     
         4 . Play device according to  claim 1 , wherein the envelope has a substantially flattened sphere shape. 
     
     
         5 . Play device according to  claim 4 , wherein the branches extend radially, between one of said linking parts and the peripheral armature, said branches being spaced by a constant angle about the main axis of the device. 
     
     
         6 . Play device according to  claim 1 , wherein the main axis is an axis of symmetry of the play device. 
     
     
         7 . Play device according to  claim 1 , further comprising a housing configured to receive an electronic beacon, said housing being positioned in the interior space of the device. 
     
     
         8 . Play device according to  claim 7 , wherein the housing is retained in position in the interior space of the device by a plurality of arms. 
     
     
         9 . Play device according to  claim 8 , wherein the housing has a flat shape and extends substantially along a plane perpendicular to the main axis and passing by the armature. 
     
     
         10 . Play device according to  claim 8 , wherein the arms are configured to be retained by the peripheral armature. 
     
     
         11 . Play device according to  claim 8 , wherein the device is configured to bow so that the linking parts are brought closer together, without touching and without coming into contact with the housing positioned inside said device. 
     
     
         12 . Play device according to  claim 1 , wherein each of the linking parts is intended to receive an information display. 
     
     
         13 . Play device according to  claim 1 , comprising a plurality of linking points at the level of the peripheral armature, said linking points comprising glue points, welding points, in particular by ultrasound, and/or connecting rivets.
