Golf tee and practice ball assembly
A golf practice tee and ball assembly that includes a support tee member, a support frame member, and support hitter member that can be efficiently used to practice golf swings anywhere. The support tee member includes an external base with a spiked end and an internal receiving cavity with the internal receiving cavity including an o-ring gasket. The frame member is an L-Shaped rod with a first section of the rod having a convex knob formed thereon and a second section having a mounting hole at one end and the support hitter member at the other. The support hitter member includes a mounting section with an end of the mounting section mountable to the mounting hole of the second section of the L-Shaped rod and another sectional end having an impact absorbent ball. The L-Shaped rod can be placed into the support tee member by forcing the convex knob through the o-ring of the internal receiving cavity. The mounted support hitter member and L-Shaped rod is then revolvable about the support tee member.
SPORTS EQUIPMENT DEVICE
A padded barrel and a handle. The padded barrel has a lower end, an upper end, and a contact surface extending between the lower end and the upper end. The upper end has a ball receiving depression. A handle extends from the lower end of the barrel.
METHODS AND APPARATUS FOR BODY WEIGHT SUPPORT SYSTEM
A body weight support system includes a trolley, a powered conductor operatively coupled to a power supply, and a patient attachment mechanism. The trolley can include a drive system, a control system, and a patient support system. The drive system is movably coupled to a support rail. At least a portion of the control system is physically and electrically coupled to the powered conductor. The patient support mechanism is at least temporarily coupled to the patient attachment mechanism. The control system can control at least a portion of the patient support mechanism based at least in part on a force applied to the patient attachment mechanism.
CONTACT SPORTS GAME APPARATUS AND METHOD OF PLAYING
A new game is disclosed, involving unique apparatus and rule set. Two teams compete using fast paced back and forth style game play, on a field divided by five zones requiring different rules to abide by whilst inside the said zone. Teams score by throwing a spherical ball through a basket affixed a top goal post located on both ends of the field protected by guards. The ball is advanced down the field by running with or passing the ball forward, backward or in a lateral manner. Point values differ depending on the zone the shot was attempted in, in this instance the closer the zone the higher the point value. The team without possession of the ball can defend their goal by tackling ball carriers, intercepting/deflecting passes or playing an aggressive style defense. The team with the most points at the end of the game wins.
Competitive weightlifting machine and methods for using the same
The present invention provides a competitive weightlifting system capable of interacting with and comparing weightlifting performances of multiple users, and creating competition between such users by displaying a ranked list of performances by those users. The system may include a frame for supporting and guiding a lift bar, sensors mounted to the frame for measuring and refereeing the performance of a user, a controller housed in the frame for tracking and ranking user performances with an interface for creating and logging into user profiles, and a communication device for sharing user performance data with other remote competitive weightlifting systems (e.g., competitive weightlifting systems in other gyms or homes) in order to create a wide-ranging competition between, and ranked leaderboard of, the many users.
Trampoline frame
A trampoline has a horizontal bed frame. A bed is suspended across the horizontal bed frame. The horizontal frame includes a horizontally oriented bed frame for suspending the bed. Frame legs are attached to the horizontal frame for supporting the horizontal frame above a ground surface. An enclosure includes a net suspended from an upper enclosure loop. An enclosure frame includes enclosure poles formed as right oriented spiral section members and left oriented spiral section members preferably made from metal tubing such as steel tubing. The enclosure poles are diagonally oriented. The right oriented spiral section members intersect and are connected to the left oriented spiral section members at intermediate junctions to form X-shaped panels, namely a first X-shaped panel, a second. X-shaped panel and a third. X-shaped panel. At least three panels are used based upon the diameter of the enclosure frame.
Trick scooter
A trick scooter comprising a base plate, a support member, comprising a first end and a second end, a handle, comprising a first end and a second end, wherein the handle is attached to the second end of the support member. Furthermore, the base plate is manufactured of elastic and flexible material. Such a trick scooter is advantageous as it is lightweight, easy and safe to handle and does not damage the surroundings or cause injury to people nearby.
Corner support bar (CSB) in a trampoline
Embodiments of the invention provide a plurality of support bars that may be fitted to the corner of a trampoline frame to provide increased stiffness for the trampoline frame. The support bars may be placed over or in the vicinity of the trampoline's legs to create a zone of increased stiffness. The support bars may also serve as an entry point to the trampoline such that the trampoline user need not stand on the trampoline's suspension system (e.g., helical springs) in order to enter the trampoline. The user may be protected from the support bars by the use of an edge pad filled with an energy absorbing material.
Seat adjustment mechanism
A mechanism for adjusting vertical seat position using a single extremity and requires no user weight to lower. The mechanism features a seat with an integrated grip for lifting. A spring-loaded latch obstructs the teeth to prevent seat lowering without rotation of a handle. The latch pivots out from obstructing the teeth when lifted. To lower the user rotates the handle to disengage the latch, causing the seat to lower under its own weight. At the desired height, the user releases the handle to permit the latch to obstruct downward movement. A gas spring may counter-balance to reduce overall effective seat weight, making the seat easier to lift while still allowing the seat to lower under its own weight upon rotating the handle. The mechanism for horizontal adjustment couples to the handle, which displaces a cable that disengages a pin allowing the seat to move horizontally on a track.
