DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

(12) According to the figures detailed above, the basketball coach device simulates an obstacle of an opposing player who chases the player and has the ability to remain static or moving, turn and flex. This basketball coach device is composed of an empty space or pass through (12) to pass a ball inside a frame (11) in a body in the form of a silhouette (1) and train aiming; a liner (5) for training reception by bouncing the ball on the liner (5); a support bar (3) that joins the lower part of the body in the form of a silhouette (1) with a conical base (2) of support; a conical base (2) with removable rotating wheels (10) filled with a heavy ballast (9) to keep the basketball trainer device upright and connecting strips with the player, connection with several players or connection with another device and with the player simultaneously.

(13) The body in the form of a silhouette (1) is in the form of a player's torso with the respective arms (7) and a hoop-shaped head (6). The arms (7) retain a separation that allows the player to pass the basketball through them.

(14) The arms (7) have a graduation mechanism (17) formed by assembly teeth (16) that fit a circular toothed guide (34) that gives them movement and fixation desired to the arms (7). Said adjustment allows the graduation of each arm (7) according to the adjustment of each assembly tooth (16) on each space of the circular toothed guide (34), which when graduated is fixed with a screw (36) so that the arm (7) is fixed in the desired position and the player performs the exercise he wishes to perform, that is, if he wishes to keep each arm (7) sideways, tilted or up.

(15) Two arms (7) can be used for each graduation mechanism (17) increasing the difficulty of training, adjusting the arms (7) in different positions.

(16) In the center of the body in the form of a silhouette (1) there is an empty space or pass through (12) within a frame (11), where said empty space or pass through (12) can be covered by a liner (5) according to the use that you want to give the basketball coach device. For example, if the empty space or pass through (12) is left exposed, that is, without the liner (5), exercises can be carried out where it is required to train the precision or aim of the passage of the ball through the frame (11) and if on the contrary, the empty space or pass through (12) is covered with the liner (5), exercises can be performed where the bouncing of the ball in the body in the form of a silhouette (1) is required.

(17) The body in the form of a silhouette (1) has a lower part (18) with two windows (13). The support bar (3) joins the lower part of the body in the form of a silhouette (1) with the conical base (2), where the support bar (3) crosses a concentric hole (4) inside the lower part (18) of the body in the form of a silhouette (1) and through a receiving hole (15) in conical base (2).

(18) In the lower section of the support bar (3) there is a double ring connector (28) that joins by means of an upper connection chain (33) with an upper bearing (29) that has the distance rod (14) at one of its extremes. The upper connection chain (33) is formed by an upper carabiner (31) and an upper 8-shaped joint (32) that allow the connection between the support bar (3) and the distance rod (14).

(19) At the opposite end of the distance rod (14) has a lower bearing (30) that through a lower connection chain (26), formed by a lower 8-shaped joint (25), a lower carabiner (24) and a ring (27) are connected to a belt (23) worn by the player, thus allowing displacement with the rotating wheels (10) of the basketball trainer device as the player moves, simulating the accompaniment and pressure of a defensive player in training.

(20) The conical base (2) has removable rotating wheels (10) that are stored and removed according to the need for training, and these rotating wheels (10) allow the basketball trainer device to freely roll in any direction in which it is pushed or pulled. The conical base (2) has a smooth support surface (21) with cavities (22) housing the rotating wheels (10) for storage.

(21) When the rotating wheels (10) are stored in each cavity (22), the smooth support surface (21) of the conical base (2) rests on the floor surface so that the basketball trainer device remains in one place; when the rotating wheels (10) are removed from each cavity (22) they are the support of the basketball trainer device and allow its movement.

(22) The support bar (3) is inserted into the conical base (2) by means of a receiving hole (15) at an adjustable height with the adjusting screw (19) according to the need of training and the player. Since the body in the form of a silhouette (1) is fixed to the conical base (2), it will be understood that the body in the form of a silhouette (1) will rise and fall as the adjusting screw (19) graduates.

(23) In another mode of use, the support bar (3), connected with the body in the form of a silhouette (1), is not inserted into the conical base (2) to be held by a person and thus perform launch block exercises to a basketball hoop.

(24) The body in the form of a silhouette (1) has a cover (35) that protects the device against the blows and contacts of the player when performing the exercises, taking into account that the body in the form of a silhouette (1) can rotate three hundred and sixty degrees in the horizontal plane around the support bar (3) that acts as an axis and that makes the basketball trainer device dynamic and mobile when it makes contact with the player.

(25) The conical base (2) has an internal chamber (8) inside that can be filled with sand, water or other heavy ballast (9) to give stability to the basketball trainer device. The wide smooth support surface (21) of the conical base (2) and the center of gravity allow the training device to be tilted at an angle (20) between zero degrees and fifty degrees without falling; so that the basketball coach device retains its stability with respect to its central axis and has the ability to return to its initial vertical position due to its weight in its center of gravity.

(26) The external design presented in the figures does not constitute a limitation for the design of other alternatives of the basketball coach device as long as it does not depart from the objective with the characteristics described herein.
