Abstract
A one player sports training apparatus which allows for the user to play multiple sports alone. The gaine is played between two telescoping poles and utilizes an elastic return system of which a ball is attached. Each pole has a bearing assembly on top that makes it stable and does not allow the game to tangle. The user hits the ball and has the ball return close to the original position because of the elastics stretching and retracting which creates velocity. The balls used are tennis ball, soccerball, football, hockey puck, Frisbee, golf ball, and rugby ball.
Description
Re: Multiple Sport Training Device Invention Description The ball is suspended between two poles from the elastic return system and then when hit, thrown or kicked and it will return to the user at near the same velocity that was initially used to propel the ball into motion, thus allowing the ball to be hit limitless times creating a flow to the game.
This invention permits a high velocity return of the ball under any conditions. The ball does not impact on the ground to achieve its return velocity but is attached to a specifically designed elasticized return system which is supported between two vertical posts that are in turn held in position by two guide ropes at each end and one center strain cable between the posts. The elastic return system is designed to allow the ball to pass the cables and elastics at virtually any position without the cables or elastics becoming entangled.
The only guy ropes required are positioned outside the playing area. The inside tension to the posts is achieved with the non-elasticized cord. This invention provides a workable elastic return system which allows the ball to be suspended in a play position that simulates many of the movements to that of playing the real game.
It however only requires a minimum amount of space that is generally found in most yards.
Invention Background To play or practice tennis, soccer, baseball, lacrosse or football one would require a partner. This new design allows one person to play one or all of the mentioned sports and at the same time develop hand eye coordination. This design also gives the user a cardiovascular workout.
It is made improve skills without the presence of a partner, coach or trainer.
A key feature is that the user does not have to retrieve the ball.
Prior Inventions In the past there has been an effort made to come up with products which allow users to play sports games alone. These inventions use a heavy anchor such as a weight or even the user themselves.
The problem with these products is the ball does not have enough velocity on the return to come back to the user. There are multiple reasons for this. One reason is the ball hits the ground where it loses speed and the other is the axis is too close to the ground causing the ball to be dragged along the ground. Because of this the user does not get a realistic sense of playing the game.
General Description of Drawings Figure 1 - Front view of the invention set up and ready to be played.
Detailed Description of Figure 1 In Figure 1-1. Ground Spike, there are four in total which is inserted into the ground and functions to stabilize the entire system.

Detailed Description of Figure 1 In Figure 1-1. Ground Spike, there are four in total which is inserted into the ground and functions to stabilize the entire system.
2. Guy Rope, four in total, provides tension on the tension rope which holds the poles in place.
3. Bearing Assembly, two in total which provide a focal point for each end of the tension rope.
The bearing spins in the case that the ball goes over the tension rope and prevents tangling.
The bearing spins in the case that the ball goes over the tension rope and prevents tangling.
4. Tension Rope, one piece of non-elastic rope that is strewn between the two bearing assemblies. Pressure exerted on each end of the tension rope by the guy ropes holds the poles apart and upright.
5. Pole, there are two poles; the poles are situated opposite each other.
6. Elastic, three elastics form a "Y" shape each attaching to the O-ring in the middle. This in conjunction with the bearing assembly forms the elastic return system.
7. Ball, balls are attached one at a time, each ball has a cord either glued or tied to it which allows the elastic to be tied to it. Balls are generally made of soft materials to prevent injury.
Tennis balls, footballs, soccerballs, rugbyballs, golfballs, frisbees and baseballs are used.
Hockey pucks are also used.
Tennis balls, footballs, soccerballs, rugbyballs, golfballs, frisbees and baseballs are used.
Hockey pucks are also used.
8. O-ring, there is one o-ring of which all three elastics are attached directly or by a swivel which is clipped onto the o-ring.
Claims (3)
1. A multiple sport training device comprising of:
Two spaced apart poles.
