Abstract

489,842. Apparatus for practising and teaching tennis. KANTROWITZ, N. Feb. 16, 1938, No. 4777. [Class 132 (ii)] An apparatus for practising and teaching tennis of the type in which a ball is releasably suspended by a cord hanging from an horizontal arm on a vertically adjustable upright is characterized by the provision on the horizontal arm of a series of hanging cords 9 each provided with a releasable ball 10, the cords being adapted to be moved individually along the arm in such manner that the balls may be played in turn by the racket. The cords which may consist of rubber or leather, may each hang from a roller or other runner 8 movable on a rail 7 secured to the arm 6. The releasable connection between the cord and the ball is obtained by nipping the cord within a slit in the ball or by providing a spring clip on the ball. The horizontal arm is carried by an upright 4 secured adjustably to an upright 2 by means of bolts 5a and holes 5. A screen, Fig. 5, of canvas or netting with pockets 15 into which the balls may be driven, may be provided, the pockets being distinctively coloured and marked with scoring points; or the pockets may be covered by a coloured flap bearing a light metal disc which resounds when struck by an entering ball.
