The invention relates to a net holder (1) for a play net (23), comprising: an inner post (3) with a net mounting portion (19) designed for insertion into a net loop (24) of the play net (23), and a spindle (12) with an external thread; an at least substantially L-shaped body (2) with an outer post (5) and a cross bar (6), the outer post (5) being designed as a hollow box profile for receiving and guiding the inner post (3) and having a slot-shaped net passage (7), the cross bar (6) having at a free end a fastener for fastening to a playing table; and an adjuster (4) formed as a sleeve having an internal thread configured for engagement with the external thread of the spindle (12), wherein a retainer is provided for retaining the adjuster (4) with respect to a longitudinal position relative to the outer post (5) but allowing rotation of the adjuster (4); wherein at least one of the inner post (3) and the outer post (5) comprises a limiter for limiting a rotation of the inner post (3) in the outer post (5), which however allows a longitudinal displacement.

An omnidirectional system (1) is described, for expelling and collecting balls, adapted to reproduce a real playing and/or training dynamics, such system (1) being equipped with at least one closing element (8) connected to at least one expelling device (2) of the system (1) arranged orthogonal to the expelling device (2) when expelling at least one ball from the system (1), the ball bouncing on an upper surface of the closing element (8) going towards at least one user; and with at least one net element (7) of at least one collecting element (3) of the system (1).

A net holder (1) for a table tennis net set is provided. The net holder (1) includes a clamping device (4) having a movable clamping jaw (5) and a clamping lever mechanism (6) with which said movable clamping jaw (5) can be moved from a starting position into a clamping position, in order to fasten the net holder (1) to a table tennis table.

A system for connecting a table tennis net to a table tennis table, the system including a blocking device comprising: a hollow body (12), at least one orifice (20) being arranged in said body so as to open out at a first end to the outside of the system and at a second end to the inside of the body; and a pusher (13) that is movably mounted in the body to move between a low position in which the pusher allows access to the inside of the body via the second end of the orifice, and a high position in which the pusher blocks access to the inside of the body via the second end of the orifice.

A table tennis table includes a table top and a base assembly. The base assembly includes legs that are adjustably spaced so that the base assembly has an adjustable length and an adjustable width. Each leg includes a telescoping pole that extends between a table pad and a floor pad. One or more struts extend from each leg to adjacent legs along the length and the width of the base assembly. The adjustable legs may be used to configure the base assembly between a collapsed configuration and an expanded configuration which has a greater length and width than the collapsed configuration. When the base assembly is configured in the expanded configuration, the legs of the base assembly may be used to support the table top to create a to playing surface for table tennis.

A gaming net system intended for table tennis that is held precisely and extremely securely in place by a grouping of four linear magnets affixed to the table with their longitudinal axes residing perpendicular to the axis of the table/net and play. The Neodymium magnets are affixed precisely on the table using an alignment template. Further, the magnets sit into magnet recesses in the net post plate to further increase the net post's resistance to movement. The entire net system is quick and easy to install and can be retrofitted onto any table tennis table.

The present invention relates to an apparatus, method and computer program for collecting and processing digital information by computer vision and/or tracking as well as observing specific events during sports, in particular during the practice of racket sports, comprising: at least one camera pair for obtaining real image-related information in sports-related stereo, processor for processing the actual image-related information from the at least one camera, memory space containing stored comparison data for typical actions of a fictitious athlete and for typical movements and positions of a fictitious ball, the camera, processor and memory space all to each other for both storage and retrieval of digital information, the processor comparing the actual image-related information from the at least one camera with the corresponding stored comparison data from the memory space and categorizing the work image-related information.
