The present disclosure involves systems for applying finishing treatment to balls. The system includes an arm that transports at least one ball through a plurality of stations. A first station includes a first actuator, which permits introduction of a ball into the arm. A second station includes a buffer, which buffs the surface of the ball and rotates the ball in place relative to the arm, a spray nozzle configured to apply treatment to the ball, and a camera configured to capture images of the ball. A third station includes an inspection camera that captures inspection images of the ball and a rotating plate configured to rotate the ball in place relative to the arm. A fourth station includes a second actuator, which ejects the ball from the arm.

A sport equipment carrying system that allows items such as baseball bats, balls, or rackets to be carried, organized and stored. The system has an ice chest to carry drinks or food to be consumed while participating in sporting events. The ice chest is attached to an external enclosure via a snap-on frame.

A ball, sphere or article holding system includes a first hollow semi-hemisphere or shell formed of a resilient material and having therein a plurality of apertures, the semi-hemisphere or shell including a first hinge element and, diametrically opposed, a first selectable closure element. The system also includes a second hollow semi-hemisphere or shell formed of a resilient material and also having a plurality of apertures, the second semi-hemisphere or shell including a second hinge element which is complementally proportioned, disposed and engagable relative to the first hinge element. Diametrically opposed therefrom is a second closure element which is complementally and press or snap-fittably engagable by the opposing closure element of the first semi-hemisphere or shell. Closure between the responsive closure elements may be enhanced by the use of a ring slip-fittably passing between complementally disposed apertures within and between the closure elements. The surface of an article held within the system is offset from interior surfaces of the semi-hemispheres or shells by nubs, stubs of the like. Articles held within the sphere may include bells and treats for pets.

A golf ball marker for applying chalk to a golf ball. The golf ball marker includes a housing having two space ends and in which one end is dimensioned to support a golf ball. A plunger is slidably mounted in the housing while chalk is carried at the end of the plunger. Consequently, upon movement of the plunger towards the golf ball, the chalk contacts and marks the golf ball.

An apparatus is used with throwable implements. The apparatus includes a base having a central portion and a peripheral edge. A first container is positioned on the central portion of the base. A plurality of second containers is positioned along the peripheral edge of the base and radially about the first container, wherein the plurality of second containers are smaller than the first container, and wherein an upper rim edge of the first container is positioned higher than upper rim edges of the plurality of second containers. The apparatus may be floatable and used primarily in water-based settings.

A multifunctional goal for ball sports is a target for sporting games which also allows for the transportation of small effects, a sporting ball, food, and drinks. The multifunctional goal includes a bottom base, a lateral wall, a top lid, a goal aperture, and a goal netting. The bottom base, the lateral wall, and the top lid delineate a storage volume to transport times and house a sporting ball. The goal aperture traverses through the lateral wall to provide a target for the sporting game. The goal netting is perimetrically connected to the goal aperture in order to partition the storage volume for a sporting ball to be stored within the partition. The bottom base includes an insulated top, an insulated lateral wall, and an insulated base in order to reduce the rate of heat transfer to the cold food or drinks stored within the bottom base.
