Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to a separated framing device for table, particularly to a separated framing device for a soccer table.

Background

[0002] Table soccer is a popular fitness and sport for all in Europe and America, which encapsulates the sporting skills of soccer. Each soccer player is controlled by the hands of the operator, and the fate of the whole soccer team depends on the controller. The controller can play the role of a good striker, a guard, and a goalkeeper. The operator can show wonderful offensive and defensive skills such as catching, stopping, passing, shooting and so on by controlling the operating rods by hands with the cooperation of brain, eyes and hands. The table soccer can bring an immersive experience of the powerful and passionate scene on the court, and is an entertaining sport, in which the operating rod is operated to rotate the puppet players to shoot at the goal, and the game outcome is determined by the score. With the rapid development of table soccer in recent years, table soccer has become a popular entertainment and sporting competition events and is no longer a minority hobby and sport.

[0003] At present, a plurality of operating rod components are provided on the framing plate on two sides of the table body of the soccer table. Different numbers of puppet components are provided on each operating rod component. The small soccer on the table can be kicked by moving the operating rod components and rotating the puppet components.

[0004] The periphery frame structure of the existing table soccer mainly includes the following types.

1. FIG. 1 shows the structure of a perforated periphery frame with complete knock-down operating rods.
The collision end of the metal rod (301) is inserted through the bearing component (700) of the framing plate (600), and then the metal rod (301) is sequentially inserted through the collision end buffer member (304), a plurality of puppet components (500) and the grip end buffer member (304). After that, the metal rod (301) is led out from the bearing component (700) on the framing plate (600) at the opposite side. The connecting fasteners and the like for the puppet components (500), the operating rod grip (302) and the metal rod (301) are tightened. Other operating rods are installed into the framing plate (600) according to the above procedures.
In FIG. 1, the perforated periphery frame structure with complete knock-down operating rods requires assembling all components in sequence. The direction and number of the puppet components (500) must be correctly matched with the metal rod (301). Further, all components must be tightened. Therefore, it is prone to cause problems during installation. The installation is extremely cumbersome, time-consuming, laborious, and not user-friendly, thus causing much inconvenience to the user, and bringing a troublesome experience to the user in maintenance and installation.

2. FIG. 2 shows the structure of a perforated periphery frame with a partially assembled operating rod.
The operating rod component (300) including the metal rod (301), the buffer member (304), the puppet component (500), etc., is inserted through the framing plate hole (601) on the framing plate (600) at one side to extend for an adequate distance. The grip end of the metal rod (301) is inserted through the framing plate hole (601) on the framing plate (600) at the other side. The position and levelness of the metal rod (301) between the framing plates (600) at two sides are adjusted. The second bearing sleeve (703), the bearing (701), and the first bearing sleeve (702) are sequentially inserted into the two ends of the metal rod (301). The bearing (701) is clamped in the framing plate (600) by using the second bearing sleeve (703) and the first bearing sleeve (702), and the bearing (701) is fixed in the framing plate (600) by screwing through the threads on the second bearing sleeve (703) and the first bearing sleeve (702). Then, the grip (302) is fastened to the grip end of the metal rod (301) to complete the component.
In this way, since the operating rod component (300) cannot be assembled with the bearing component (700) and the grip (302), the user needs to install the parts step by step. Thus, the installation is time-consuming, cumbersome, complicated, and easy to cause the mistakes. In the disassembling, the bearing components (700) at both ends and the grip (302) should all be disassembled for reassembling. Therefore, such a structure has obvious disadvantages and is not user-friendly.

3. FIG. 3 shows the structure of a key-way perforated periphery frame with a fully assembled operating rod.

[0005] The collision end of the metal rod (301) of the operating rod component (300) is first inserted through the second bearing sleeve (703) and then led out from the framing plate hole (601) of the framing plate (600). An adequate installation length is set aside beforehand. After that, the grip end of the metal rod (301) is pressed into the key-way through hole (602) of the framing plates. After the operating rod component (300) is adjusted to be horizontal, the bearing (701) and the first bearing sleeve (702) of the collision end of the metal rod (301) are inserted into the metal rod (301) in sequence.

[0006] The first bearing sleeve (702) and the second bearing sleeve (703) on the collision end of the metal rod (301) are fixedly screwed through the threads, so that the bearing (701) is clamped in the framing plate (600) between the first bearing sleeve (702) and the second bearing sleeve (703). Then, the bearing sleeve (704) with a key and the second bearing sleeve (703) on the grip end of the metal rod (301) are fixedly screwed through the threads, so that the bearing (701) is fixedly clamped in the framing plate (600). The other operating rod components (300) are sequentially installed in the framing plate (600) to complete the installation.

[0007] In this way, some defects of the complicated installation of the complete knock-down and partially assembled operating rod structure are improved. However, it is required to configure framing plate key-way through hole (602) on the framing plate (600), and a bearing sleeve (704) with a key is required to cover the key-way through hole (602), thereby unaesthetic appearance. Moreover, in disassembling, the first bearing sleeve (702) and the second bearing sleeve (703) on the collision end should be loosened to take out the bearing (701) and the first bearing sleeve (702). Therefore, such structure is also time-consuming and laborious.
