Batting tee

Abstract

A batting tee that can be used by righthanded and lefthanded hitters to expand their batting zone. The batting tee comprises of two weighted legs that extend from a point of origin, an angle of twenty-five degree is created between the two weighted legs. Each weighted leg is hollow and defines an upper and a lower linear channel that can receive a block that sustains a screw in post. The post has a ball holder. A triangular weighted sheet attaches to an inside side of each weighted leg. Each leg defines a block insertion point at a location that is at a furthest distance from the point of origin, the block insertion points are defined on the upper part and the power part of each leg.

DESCRIPTION

(23) As seen in FIGS. 17-20, the present invention is a batting tee.

(24) The batting tee 100 comprises of a pair of weighted legs 10 that extend from a point of origin 12, an angle of twenty-five degree is created between the two weighted legs 10 from the point of origin 12, the pair of weighted legs 10 are attached to each other, the pair of weighted legs 10 have an upper part 10a and a lower part 10b, each weighted leg is hollow and defines an upper linear channel 10c and a lower linear channel 10d that is configured to receive a block 30 that sustains a post 40. A triangular weighted sheet 20 attaches to an inside side section 10e of each of the pair of weighted legs 10, each weighted leg 10 of the pair of weighed legs defines a block insertion point 10f at a location that is at a furthest distance from the point of origin, the block insertion points 10f are defined on the upper part 10a and the power part 10b of each weighted leg. A block 30, the block 30 has an attachment point 30a, the block 30 inserts within either the upper liner channel 10c or the lower linear channel 10d, And, a post 40 that attached to the block 30 at the attachment point 30a. The post 40 defines a ball holder 42 on an end of the post 40a that does not attach to the block 30.

(25) In a preferred embodiment, the attachment point 30a of the block 30 is a screw 30a and the post 40 screws on the screw 30a. In a preferred embodiment, the post is a telescopic post.

(26) In preferred embodiments of the present invention, the pair of weighted legs and the triangular weighted sheet are made of metal.

(27) In preferred embodiments of the present invention, the post 40 is a telescopic post.

(28) An advantage of the present invention is that it provides a batting tee that is easy to manipulate.

(29) Another advantage of the present invention is that it provides a batting tee that is easy to transport.

(30) Yet another advantage of the present invention is that it provides a batting tee is used by righthanded and lefthanded hitters to maximize their hitting potential over balls that pass over home plate.

(31) While the inventor's above description contains many specificities, these should not be construed as limitations on the scope, but rather as an exemplification of several preferred embodiments thereof. Many other variations are possible. Accordingly, the scope should be determined not by the embodiments illustrated, but by the specification, the drawings, and the appended claims and their legal equivalents.
