Kids Bracelet
A rubber, plastic, or silicone bracelet that an adult or child can wear on their wrist. The bracelet has a concave top designed with four contact points that grip a ball about its circumference, and allow the user to place and remove any plastic, foam, or rubber ball. The concave surface of the bracelet also allows a ball with a smooth surface and a slightly larger radius of curvature to be fit easily in the cavity and held in place through a light force of suction, thereby allowing for easy placement and removal by the user.
ALIGNMENT AID SYSTEM
The subject invention comprises a system, and method of using the system, for providing improved alignment in multiple settings. Appropriate settings include woodworking, machining, and sports, although there are several other practical applications for this technology. The invention employs one or more alignment stations that have a base plate that anchors into a flat surface, guides that fit into the base plate, a top rotating element that fits onto the base plate secures the first set of guides into place, and a positional lock that locks the rotating element into place relative to the base plate.
DEVICE AND METHOD FOR TEACHING/TRAINING GOLF
A device and method of learning and training of the golf swing that is based on the performing of the swing as a continuous exercise, where the person, either a student in learning or a player in training, performs continuous movements or golf swings without depending on the presence of the ball on a ball placement site, in which the device places the ball on the ball placement site in a programmed or random way without making the person stop the succession of continuous swings.
BALL DISPENSER
A dispenser for golf balls, ping pong balls, and the like has a tubular neoprene (polychloroprene) body with an inside diameter marginally less than the diameter of the ball to be held. The length of the body may be approximately three times the diameter of the ball, so that up to three balls may be conveniently stored in the body. The body includes an open insertion end whose inside diameter is equal to that of the body and into which balls are advanced into the body, and a sphincter-like dispensing end with an inside diameter less than the diameter of the balls. Squeezing the body results in urging a ball against the dispensing end to urge the dispensing end open enough to permit the ball to pass.
LOW FRICTION REHABILITATION BOARD WITH AN INTEGRAL BAND RETAINING FEATURE AND METHODS OF REHABILITATION
A low friction rehabilitation board having an integral band retaining feature is described. The rehabilitation board may have a coefficient of static friction of no more than about 0.5 and in some embodiments no more than about 0.06. The rehabilitation board has a plurality of band retaining feature configured along one or both ends and may be an integral band retaining features being formed in the board. Additionally, the rehabilitation may include one or more band retaining features on one or both sides of the board. The unique configuration of the band retaining features enables rehabilitation method heretofore not possible with a single board. Resistance bands may be retained in the band retaining features and coupled to a user's limb, such as a foot or ankle, to resist motion, such as sliding or extending the foot along the low friction surface of the rehabilitation board.
NOSE CLIP STRUCTURE
A nose clip structure comprises a nose frame and nose pads. The nose frame includes two arms and a connecting portion. The connecting portion interconnects the two arms to make the two arms bend flexibly. The nose pads are disposed on the two arms of the nose frame, and has an anti-off body adapted to engage with the wing of the swimmer's nose for preventing falling-off of the nose clip structure.
BASEBALL SWING TRAINING DEVICE
A baseball swing training device has a base, a support member adjustably connected to the base, and a suction assembly disposed in the base that extends through and out of the support member to hold a ball in a stationary position. The suction assembly includes a coil vacuum hose disposed within the support member, and connected to a vacuum pump assembly, and an elongated hose connected to the coil vacuum hose at one end, and removeably connected to a suction nozzle at an opposite end.
Telescopic golf ball picker upper
The current invention is a golf ball retriever that enables an individual to pick up a golf ball without requiring the user to bend over. The golf ball retriever includes an extendable rod with a cup configured to receive a golf ball disposed at a distal end of the rod. In one embodiment, the extendable rod is in a telescopic arrangement movable between an extend position and a retracted position. In use, the rod is extended and the cup is pressed over the ball. The cup receives the ball, and the ball remains within the cup until removed by a user.
SPORTS TRAINING DEVICE
A training device comprising a plurality of arms, each arm having two or more markings, the two or more markings being disposed at a position that is related to one of (a) a type of maneuver to be practiced, (b) anthropometric data of typical players, (c) anthropometric data of a specific player performing an exercise, and (d) a diameter of a basketball, and at least one junction, each junction being disposed between each pair of the plurality of arms, and a base coupled to each of the at least one junction.
ARM MOUNTED BALL HOLDER AND RETRIEVER
An arm mounted golf ball holder and retriever having one or more ball holders and a ball retriever to allow a golfer with limited or no hand movement to more easily handle their golf balls while playing on a golf course.
