264 Folding Ball Trolley Having Minimized Volume US13888453 2013-05-07 US20140291969A1 2014-10-02 Chia-Ling Wang
A folding ball trolley having minimized volume has a frame, a bag and multiple resilient elements. The frame has four stand rods, four top seats, four sliding seats, four wheels, four connecting rod assemblies and four mounting rods. The bag connects to the mounting rods and the mounting rods pivotally connect to the stand rods. Accordingly, the mounting rods can be rotated relative to the stand rods such that the mounting rods do not protrude upward to occupy too much space when the ball trolley is folded. Besides, the frame is braced by the resilient elements so a user does not have to stretch his hands between the rods when folding the ball trolley, thereby preventing the hands from being clamped.

267 Sports Ball Holder US13726494 2012-12-24 US20140175239A1 2014-06-26 William Anthony Samples
ABSTRACT OF THE DISCLOSURE: The sports ball holder is a mechanism for supporting a single sports ball (basketball, football, soccer ball, volleyball, kick ball, etc.) to a wall. The sports ball holder is fundamentally a single length of thick rounded metal formed into a loop with an extending member. The end of the extending member is threaded—like a screw—to form a screw-type fastener. The screw-type fastener is what supports the sports ball holder to the wall. The metal loop has an inside diameter smaller than the maximum diameter of a sports ball (basketball, football, soccer ball, volleyball, kick ball, etc.) to support the sports ball. The sports ball holder must be screwed into a solid material, like a wall stud, for strong support. The simple design of this sports ball holder embodiment makes the sports ball holder more practical to manufacture, package, and install than the prior arts.OPERATION: The entire sports ball holder mechanism will be spun into a wall stud and mounted in the horizontal position. The built in screw-type fastener will strongly secure the sports ball holder to the wall. An individual sports ball can now be placed on and off the sports ball holder at will.
268 BALL REBOUNDING SYSTEM US14034253 2013-09-23 US20140094327A1 2014-04-03 Kurt T. Freund
A ball rebounding device has high tension netting that is efficiently assembled, pulled taught and held in place within a frame using a tension rod system and a manufacturing process that uses levers between the frame and tension rods within the frame. The invention can be used in producing new ball rebounder and in retrofitting existing rebounder frames. The frame provides a perimeter support and an interior space. Tension rods are run through the cells of the netting and positioned in the interior space. A lever system is connected between the tension rods and the frame to pull the tension rods toward the corresponding sides of the frame, thereby drawing the net taught within the frame. Once the netting is pulled taught, fasteners hold the tension rods in place next to the sides of the frame. The frame can be rigid or may have flexibility and act like a spring.

With this arrangement, the lacrosse balls are positioned over the abrasive surface such that, upon rotation of the rotatable member the abrasive surface scuffs the lacrosse balls to, thereby, resurface the balls.
270 Tennis ball conditioner US13411533 2012-03-03 US08616270B2 2013-12-31 Ralph Samuel Granchelli, Jr.
An apparatus for the conditioning, storage and transportation of tennis balls. The tennis ball conditioning, storage, and transportation apparatus is used to condition tennis balls, primarily by heating to a desired operating temperature. Conditioning modifies the internal pressure of the balls and warms the composition of the balls to the desired playing temperature. The tennis ball conditioning, storage, and transportation apparatus includes a housing which may have handles and which has an interior which contains heating and/or cooling elements and which functions as a conditioning and storage chamber. The chamber is divided by a screen upon which the balls rest. A thermostatically controlled heater, cooler and fan achieve the desired temperature then stabilizes the balls at the desired temperature.
271 MULTI-DIMENSIONAL CONFORMING GLOBAL CARRIER US13739266 2013-01-11 US20130299370A1 2013-11-14 Jason D. Baker; Kirk Mays
A multi-dimensional conforming global carrier including a primary panel bidirectionally bonded a secondary panel. Bidirectional bonding allows the expansion in any direction around the carrier contents allowing the carrier to conform closely to the outside surface of the contents. The carrier itself may be made of an expansible material, and be sized to have an inner volume that is slightly smaller than the proposed contents when empty, such that when the content are placed in the inner volume of the carrier, the material of the carrier will stretch around the contents, in some cases resembling a “second skin” around such contents. In various embodiments, the carrier may have cooperating panel enlargements and recesses, may include an opening which may further be closed with various fastening devices, may be formed of panels of differing sizes and materials, may have bidirectionally elastic panels, and may be at least partially water resistant.

The system can include a golf ball guide, a golf ball scorer-driver that can score the outer shell of the golf ball while simultaneously advancing it along the golf ball guide, a cover peeler having an orifice with an inner diameter that is less than an outer diameter of the golf ball cover, and a press that can drive the golf ball core through the cover peeler orifice. The method includes inducing at least one weakened region in the outer shell of the golf ball, rupturing the weakened region to create at least one opening in the golf ball outer shell, and forcing a core portion of the golf ball through the opening in the golf ball outer shell.
274 BALL DISPLAY CASE US13858572 2013-04-08 US20130220853A1 2013-08-29 John T. Weldon
A ball display case has base and a cover that is securable to the base. The cover and base at least partially enclose a space for holding a ball when the cover is secured to the base. The cover can be moved to a position in which the cover cannot be non-destructively removed from the base without moving the cover relative to the base away from this position. A lock is adapted for selective application to at least one of the base and the cover. The lock prevents non-destructive movement of the cover away from the position. The lock is adapted for selectively and irreversibly converting the display case from an unlocked condition in which the cover is releasably secured to the base to a locked condition in which the cover cannot be non-destructively removed from the base.
275 Method Of Making A Golf Ball Core US13341374 2011-12-30 US20130172121A1 2013-07-04 Aaron Craig Bender
A method and system for making a golf ball core is disclosed. The method may generally include forming a golf ball core out of a raw core material. The golf ball core may be rapidly heated to begin curing (or vulcanizing) from the outermost surface toward the center of the golf ball core. Before curing the entire golf ball core, the golf ball core may be quenched to stop the curing process. As a result, the golf ball core may include an outer cured zone and an inner uncured zone. In this state, the golf ball core may be incorporated into a finished golf ball to be sold to consumers. Following a set of instructions provided with the golf ball, the consumer may heat the golf ball to customize the properties of the golf ball core, and, thus, the characteristics of the golf ball.
