Abstract

L'invention concerne un appareil de lancer de balle comprenant : un corps allongé ayant un axe longitudinal s'étendant entre une première extrémité et une deuxième extrémité. Une structure partiellement sphérique est formée en une seule pièce sur une desdites extrémités du corps allongé, avec la structure partiellement sphérique ayant une ouverture capable de recevoir et de s'engager avec une balle de façon à pouvoir la libérer. La structure partiellement sphérique est capable de libérer la balle lorsque le corps allongé est maintenu à proximité d'une desdites extrémités et pivoté selon une trajectoire circulaire. La structure partiellement sphérique comprend un mécanisme de fermeture qui peut bouger entre une première orientation dans laquelle la fermeture recouvre au moins partiellement la balle lorsqu'elle est retenue dans le dispositif de lancer de balle et une deuxième orientation dans laquelle la balle dans la structure partiellement sphérique est au moins partiellement découverte.
