20110303207 | SPORTS TRAINING APPARATUS FOR LAUNCHING SPORTS BALLS - A sports training apparatus for launching sports balls. The sports training apparatus has the ability to launch a sports ball, such as, for example, a soccer ball or a volleyball, at various power levels, at many different angles, with many different types of spin, and can be remotely controlled or programmed with a pre-determined launching pattern. The ball projecting mechanism launches a sports ball by way of a striking leg member which is powered by a compressible spring and detent rod assembly. | 12-15-2011 |
20110303208 | APPARATUS FOR PROJECTING AN OBJECT - Apparatus for projecting an object such as a ball is described. The apparatus comprises a support for the object to be projected, an impeller assembly configured to transfer energy to the object to project it away from the apparatus; and an actuating mechanism operable by a user interaction with the apparatus. The impeller assembly may be driven mechanically by the actuating mechanism by transfer of energy input by the user interaction. The apparatus may be used for an animal and in particular a dog. The described apparatus removes the need for a further power supply and so avoids unnecessary energy consumption and provides advantages in relation to cost, reliability, and longevity. Embodiments of the invention are modular in nature which greatly assists in training the animal to use the apparatus. | 12-15-2011 |
20120103317 | METERED BALL DELIVERY - Methods and apparatus, for metered ball delivery. An apparatus includes a secure enclosure housing a reservoir of tennis balls, a battery power supply and a battery powered portable tennis ball machine, the secure enclosure and tennis ball machine communicating via a wireless network to determine a location of the portable tennis ball machine. | 05-03-2012 |
20140202440 | TOY GUN CHARGING STRUCTURE - A toy gun charging structure consists of a main body, a gun body, a battery, a charging set, and a motor wherein the main body is combined by a first shell and a second shell which extend respectively a pair of handles; the motor being furnished between the two handles drives a transmission gear set to transmit the gun body; and the battery is furnished between a front block part and a containing part which is furnished in a positioning salient parts that is further correspondingly furnished between the first shell and the second shell; the charging set includes a relay, a first, a second, a third, connectors connected by power-supply wire and a fourth connector; the relay and the third connector are connected to the battery through the first and second connectors; the fourth connector being furnished at the exterior part of the main body is plugged in the third connector as required to perform charging to the battery. | 07-24-2014 |

20150040881 | LAUNCHING TOY - Provided is a launching toy for launching a projectile with a simple structure and excellent operability. The launching toy includes a main body having a loading portion for loading the projectile and an advancing member provided to the main body so as to be operated by a finger. The advancing member is configured to push and launch the projectile loaded in the loading portion frontwards from the main body by a manual operation. The advancing member is configured to be able to advance and recede relative to the loading portion, and is normally in an advance-standby state by means of its own weight such that the advancing member recedes from the loading portion, and is configured to protrude into the loading portion to push the projectile loaded in the loading portion by a finger operation. | 02-12-2015 |
20150128925 | DIGIT MOUNTED DEVICE FOR LAUNCHING PROJECTILES - A finger-mounted device for launching a projectile in response to a flick of a finger by a user. The finger-mounted device may comprise a securing means for securing a launcher to the finger of the user. The securing means may comprise a strap, loop, or cinch. The finger-mounted device may further comprise a launch guide extending outwardly from a base member. A projectile may be mounted onto or into the launch guide. The projectile is launched in response to the user flicking the finger, using the thumb as a tensioning means. The projectile may take a wide variety of forms. | 05-14-2015 |
20150342146 | ILLUMINATED BALL THROWING APPARATUS AND METHOD THEREOF - A glow in the dark throwing apparatus comprises an elongated shaft, the elongated shaft includes a lower handle portion extending to at least one flexible upper neck, integrally formed at the distal end of the at least one upper neck is a glow-in-the-dark first ball receivable portion. | 12-03-2015 |

20100258100 | BALL FEEDING DEVICE FOR A BALL PITCHING MACHINE AND METHOD OF USING THE SAME - A device for attachment to a chute of a ball pitching machine includes a ball feeder tube having a first end for receiving a first ball. A retaining member is fixed relative to the ball feeder tube and extends transversely to the ball feeder tube into the bore for selectively retaining the first ball in the bore. The retaining member is resiliently deformable toward the ball feeder tube for allowing the first ball to move past the retaining member toward the chute upon application of a predetermined force on the first ball. The ball feeder tube defines a bore having a diameter. The retaining member is spaced along the bore a first distance from the first end. The first distance is shorter than the diameter of the bore so that insertion of a second ball into the first end with the predetermined force displaces the first ball toward the chute. | 10-14-2010 |
20130319387 | CHANGEUP CONTROLLER FOR BALL THROWING MACHINE - Embodiments provide a ball throwing machine including a motor coupled to a rotary wheel and configured to rotate the rotary wheel at a rotational speed to throw a ball forward toward an athlete. A speed control module may be coupled to the motor and configured to rotate the rotary wheel, via the motor, at a first rotational speed during a fastball setting and a second rotational speed during a changeup setting. The speed control module may determine the second rotational speed based on the first rotational speed so that a ball thrown by the ball throwing machine will arrive in a target zone when the ball throwing machine is in the fastball setting and the changeup setting. | 12-05-2013 |
