Abstract:
A collapsible catch assembly includes a box having a front wall, a rear wall, a left sidewall, a right sidewall, a bottom wall, and a lid collectively defining a hollow interior, wherein the lid is movable between an open position for allowing access to the hollow interior and a closed position for limiting access to the hollow interior; at least two support poles pivotably mounted within the hollow interior of the box; and a catch device supported on and extending between the at least two support poles. The at least two support poles and the catch device are collapsible to fit within the hollow interior of the box and extensible to extend out of the hollow interior of the box and define a catch area extending upwardly from the box.
Abstract:
Workout kit for improvement of the physical conditions, based on a flexible, non- resilient telescopic belt, wherein the belt consists of a ribbon-shaped elongated section, taking a U-shaped profile, when it extends from two end sections going down, to a height adjustable, using fixing and fastening means. In the central area of the belt, a flat stiff support is inserted and integrated with said belt using pairs of fixing means with which the perfect horizontality of the flat stiff support is adjusted. The user exerts the effort component and the proprioceptive component related to a particular movement, making use of a wide range of values of instability of an oscillating apparatus, comprising destabilizing means, such as hanging weights, in a symmetrical or asymmetrical position with respect to the center of the support.
Abstract:
Embodiments of the present disclosure are directed to a portable muscle therapy device that can be used for physical therapy, fitness and exercise by creating compression to a joint/muscle while performing movement exercise (flossing) to restore mobility and pain relief. The muscle therapy device may include an elongated shaft comprised of a plurality of detachable segments that allow a user to change the length of the elongated shaft and convert the elongated shaft into separate bars. For example two bars may be formed, one for each hand of the user, and a resistance band may be attached to each bar. Additionally, the muscle therapy device of the present disclosure provides for the ability to attach a handle on one end of the elongated shaft to mimic a canoeing and stand up paddle for back, core and shoulder exercise.
Abstract:
In one aspect, a system for people to simulate flying motion may include a plurality of supporting posts, one or more control units, and each of the control unit is connected to the user's body through a string, and a sensor is disposed on each string. The sensor can detect the tension change of the string and transmit the signal to the control unit to adjust the tension accordingly. When the user moves the wings, the change of the tension can be detected by the sensor and transmitted to the control unit to further adjust the tension of each string by pulling or releasing the strings to enable the user to enjoy the flying motion.
Abstract:
In one preferred form of the present invention, there is provided a movable game target (10) for allowing a player to hit a ball and cause the ball to roll theretowards. The movable game target (10) comprises a base (12) and a goal (14). The goal (14) includes at least one post (16) defining a goal opening (28). The body (18) of the base (12) are provided in the form of a number of body-type portions (20). The body-type portions (20) are shaped to be mated together in a mating relationship that is held together by the shape of the body-type portions (20) to provide the base (12) with the goal (289) extending therefrom.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to a games apparatus and, in particular, to equipment relating to sports where a net or other guide is required, such as tennis, badminton and volleyball. Such sports that people usually play individually against a single opponent (singles) or between two teams of players each throwing/hitting/returning a ball or each player uses a racquet to strike a ball over a net and into the opponent's court. The object of the game is to play the ball in such a way that the opponent is not able to play a good return. The net, together a net support and a marked-out ground enable a game of tennis to be played. Another type of sport that involves a net is volleyball. Volleyball involves two teams of six players, separated by a net, whereby one team scores points, one against another, by grounding a ball on the other team's court under organized rules. In both of these games a net is arranged between two sides of a court, the net defining a barrier between the two and subject to the net scores of one team relative to another can be made. An issue with such sports is the difficulty in enabling the game to be played in that not only is a court required, but also that a net needs to be provided. The present invention seeks to provide a solution to the problems addressed above. The present invention seeks to provide a games net to enable a game where a net is required for the playing of games, which net can be quickly and easily erected before play and which net can be quickly and easily folded away after play without the need for assembly or disassembly.
Abstract:
Basketball return apparatus (10) for use with a basketball goal (12) and which is easily moved to return a ball to a shooter in any of many different locations with respect to the basketball goal. A lightweight frame (16) supports a net (18) surrounding a basketball goal (12) and is arranged to direct a ball into a ball return chute (52) which can be moved to be close to a shooter. Sensors are arranged to detect and count shots that pass through the goal and to count all shots that are made, and a display device (106) may be set to show the shooter's score and percentage of successful shots made. A sensor (124) is utilized in one embodiment to follow a signaling device (126) carried by a shooter and a system is provided to drive the ball return apparatus in azimuth angle (α) and amount of extension of the ball return chute (52) so as to follow a shooter.
Abstract:
A golf teeing device. The golf teeing device preferably engages with a surface, such as an artificial golf mat, such that the user may conveniently place a golf ball to be hit. The golf teeing device is preferably comprised of a base and a top, wherein the base has extensions or hooks that extend in a substantially downward and sideways manner. These hooks, when rotated, grip into the artificial golf mat and hold the invention in place on the mat. The top of the golf teeing device is configured to engage with a golf ball and/or golf tee.
