Scoring or beverage station for a toss game
A multicomponent modular kit for assembling a scoring station for a toss game includes an upright member, a scoreboard adapted to be repeatedly removably affixed to the upright member, a shelf structure adapted to be repeatedly removably affixed to the upright member and to hold cylindrical beverage containers and a base adapted to be repeatedly removably affixed to the lower section of the upright member to stably hold it in a vertical orientation when the scoreboard and shelf structure are affixed to the upright member and the base is placed on a hard essentially horizontal surface. A multicomponent modular kit for assembling a beverage station has the same components as the scoring station except that it may omit the scoreboard.
Variable tension/resistance payout control machine
This invention is embodied by a controlled, variable tension line, payout reel machine. A system of sensors detect line tension and line distance paid out, location, and transmit through wired and unwired communication to a microprocessor. The microprocessor is co-located with the reel structure, which in turn applies, via a brake feature, resistance to the reel which is paying out the line being pulled by the user. This invention pertains to all applications where it is desirable to control the tension in a line paid out from a reel or reel. As stated, the payout motive force is supplied by the person, animal or apparatus attached to the end of the line, opposite the reel. The invention applies to the field of precise and measured control of line tension for sport, sport training, performance testing.
LEG STRETCHING APPARATUS
A leg stretching apparatus can be safely used without a risk of damage, with a simple coupling and can be conveniently installed at a site at which leg stretching is desired to enable efficient leg stretching. The leg stretching apparatus includes a fixing plate in which a first fixing plate, which includes a plurality of coupling grooves, and a second fixing plate, which includes a plurality of coupling protrusions corresponding to the coupling grooves, are detachably configured. A fixing part has one end coupled to the first fixing plate and another end equipped with an adjusting part. An elastic string has one end fixed to the fixing part and another end extending in a longitudinal direction of the fixing part, and opposingly branched with two free end portions behind the first fixing plate. A moving part is installed at the second fixing plate to guide the branching of the elastic string.
Item holder
An item holder primarily containing two parts: a ball shaped element and a clip. The clip can be seated neatly into a cutout in the ball shaped element. The clip can also be designed as a divot tool or a spike and contains a clamp that can be used to hold a cigar or cigarette, support a golf club or have other uses. The ball shaped element is sized to fit neatly into the ball bracket on any pull cart or motorized cart equipped with such a bracket.
Portable instructional baseball pitching apparatus
An apparatus for teaching baseball pitching includes a substantially flat panel having a substantially rectangular shape with adjustable height and width dimensions. The apparatus further includes at least two support members for supporting the flat panel in an upright position. The length of the support members can be adjusted to obtain a desired distance between a bottom edge of the flat panel and the ground.
In-goal ball return or collection device
An in-goal ball return device, the ball return device is a material implement having a front edge, side edges, and a rear edge. The device is configured for attachment within a goal, the goal having a supporting net mesh. The device has a plurality of closed loops disposed along the rear edge and side edges. The device includes a lacing cord for threading through any number of the closed loops and the net to secure the material implement to the net mesh. The device forms a continuous angled surface between the front and closed portion of the goal when attached.
PORTABLE BALL AND PIN GAME SYSTEM
A portable game system including a target pins, a throwing ball having a deflated state and an inflated state, and two platform sections each formed of a base and a planar playing surface. Each platform section having a handle disposed and having positioning indicia disposed thereon. The two platform sections configured to be held in abutting contact via a locking mechanism disposed thereon to hold the platform sections in a collapsed configuration in which the deflated throwing ball and game pins are held within a cavity defined between the platform sections. The game system further having a game play configuration in which the bottom of the first base is spaced apart from the bottom of the second base, the plurality of target pins are positioned on said first game pin positioning indicia and said second game pin positioning indicia, and the throwing ball is in its inflated state.
SLOW-PITCH SOFTBALL STRIKE-INDICATING MAT
A sensing system and method determines whether a slow pitch softball has been delivered in a strike zone. The system includes: a dual, mirror image slow-pitch software home plate; the home plate having an upper surface and a lower surface; the lower surface configured for attachment to ground; the upper surface comprising a pressure or impact sensing array covering at least edges of the upper surface of the home plate; the sensing array having a battery source for powering the system; the sensing array issuing an electrical signal when sensing pressure or impact; and the electrical signal connected to an audio or visual output device that indicates receiving of the electrical signal by a visual or audio emission.
METHOD AND GOALS FOR FLYING DISC GAME
A catching game for two to six players. Each team stands behind their own goal—the two goals are 12 yards apart. Each team member takes turns trying to throw a flying disc (Frisbee) through the opposite goal (12 yards away). The person throwing must stand behind their own goal—either directly behind it or next to it, but no closer than 12 yards away. Their Opponents also stand behind their own goal and will try to catch the Frisbee if it comes through this goal. Once caught or dropped, this player then tries to throw it back towards the other team's goal where their opponent is also standing behind waiting to try to catch the Frisbee. Players take turns in catching and throwing and can only score points if the Frisbee goes through their opponent's goal and is not caught.
PORTABLE FOOTBALL FIELD GOAL POST AND METHODS
