Abstract
Abstract The device utilizes a specially prepared background surface 1 constituted by a plurality of sectors 10, side by side but separate one from the other, that define a lower area representing the space occupied by the net, and an upper area for acknowledging and signalling the shot, each of the said sectors being formed by a pair of external rebound panels 6-6' in between which is sandwiched a support base 5 provided with a housing 7 designed to accommodate a shot sensor element 8 and an element 9 for displaying the number of points applicable to the said sector, connected to logic means MP for varying, without following any set rules and after each shot has been acknowledged, the score value ascribed to each sector.

Device for playing the game of wall tennis, characterized by the fact that it comprises : a specially prepared background surface 1 constituted by a plurality of sectors 1 0, side by side but separate one from the other, that define a lower area representing the space occupied by the net, and an upper area for acknowledging and signalling the shot, each of the said sectors being constituted by a pair of external panels 6 and 6', the front one of which is for the rebound of the ball, in between which is sandwiched a base 5 made of material able to dampen the shots played, each sector of at least the upper area being provided with an element 9 for displaying the number of points applicable thereto, connected to logic means MP for varying, after each shot has been acknowledged, the score value ascribed to each sector, and each sector of at least the upper area being provided, moreover, with a microphone shot sensor 8 able to supply an electrical operating signal only once a predetermined threshold value defined by the shot against the panel has been exceeded, the said sensor being connected to the said logic means which, furthermore, are connected to a display timer T.

Claim 3
Dependent Claim
43 words
Device according to the preceding claim, characterized by the fact that the said display element 9 is connected to logic means MP for varying, without following any set rules and after each shot has been acknowledged, the score value ascribed to each sector.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
35 words
Device according to Claim 1, characterized by the fact that the various sectors corresponding to the lower area representing the space occupied by the net, are rendered active and are given a loss of points.
