Device for collecting balls

Abstract

A device for collecting balls ( 1 ), for instance tennis balls, golf balls, etc., having at least two tubular elements ( 2 a, 2 b ), wherein the tubular elements ( 2 a, 2 b ) can be assembled to form a base body ( 3 ), wherein the base body ( 3 ) comprises an insertion opening ( 6 ) for the balls ( 1 ), wherein the tubular elements ( 2 a, 2 b ) each comprise written and/or pictorial partial information ( 4 a, 4 b ), and wherein, in the assembled state of the tubular elements ( 2 a, 2 b ), the partial information ( 4 a, 4 b ), forms the aggregate information ( 5 ).

1 . A device for collecting balls, for instance tennis balls, golf balls, etc., having at least two tubular elements, wherein the tubular elements can be assembled to form a base body, wherein the base body comprises an insertion opening for the balls, wherein the tubular elements each comprise written and/or pictorial partial information, and wherein the partial information, in the assembled state of the tubular elements, forms the aggregate information. 
     
     
         2 . The device according to  claim 1 , characterized in that the partial information is printed on the tubular elements and/or that an information element bearing the partial information is disposed on the tubular elements. 
     
     
         3 . The device according to  claim 1 , characterized in that the information element is detachably disposed on the tubular element, for instance via a magnetic connection or a Velcro fastener. 
     
     
         4 . The device according to  claim 1 , characterized in that the tubular elements can be interconnected in a form-fitting and/or force-fitting manner, in particular by means of a clamp connection, a screw connection or a latching connection, for instance a bayonet fitting. 
     
     
         5 . The device according to  claim 1 , characterized in that the tubular elements are designed to be telescopic. 
     
     
         6 . The device according to  claim 1 , characterized in that the tubular elements are swivel interconnected and lockable in the swiveled position and/or in the non-swiveled position to form the base body. 
     
     
         7 . The device according to  claim 1 , characterized in that the inner diameter of the tubular elements is designed to be at least slightly larger than the outer diameter of the balls. 
     
     
         8 . The device according to  claim 1 , characterized in that a carrying element is provided on the base body, for instance a shoulder strap or a handle. 
     
     
         9 . The device according to  claim 1 , characterized in that at least one closure means is disposed for a tubular element. 
     
     
         10 . The device according to  claim 1 , characterized in that an adapter element is provided to reduce the insertion opening to a smaller size.
