A novel one piece reserve ball holder having an integral device for attachment to a player's waistband or belt comprising a right cylinder structure having an interior diameter minimally smaller than that of a tennis ball, and long enough to accept and hold firmly two tennis balls, which while protruding one from each end are contained by the ball's inflated pressure and the binding friction and resistance to movement that occurs where the ball's outer surface comes into contact with the interior wall surface of the cylinder which is divided by a partition at the center of its length into two separate chambers each having a depth slightly greater than the ball's radius dimension and each chamber having near its open end in the sides of the tube two axially aligned openings of a length and width approximately half the ball's radius dimension to allow digital access for placing and removing the ball or balls from the holder. |

A tennis ball pack apparatus for dispensing balls in one mode of operation while positioned on a player's back and retrieving balls in another mode of operation upon removal from the back. An elongated housing which is strapped to the player's back includes two pairs of spaced walls which have different lengths to define predetermined openings adjacent to an oblong shaped bottom made up of flexible connected rod members. During the ball dispensing mode the player grips a ball through an opening and pulls against the flexible rod members to dispense the balls in seriatim. A U-shaped frame which is in slidable engagement with the walls of the housing is movable from a first position closely adjacent to the housing when operating in the ball dispensing mode while on the player's back to a second position extended from the housing when operating in a ball retrieving mode upon removal of the housing from the player's back. |

Each open end is configured to resist the injection or exiting of the balls, otherwise capable of being stored therewithin. The mechanism is provided with an elongated slot extending along a portion of the exterior surface of the cylinder, facilitating the injection of the lowermost ball by passing such lowermost ball through an overcomeable retaining mechanism. The balls may be retained in preferred locations within the cylinder prior to ejection. The cylinder is provided with means for removably attaching the cylinder to portions of the users clothing, thereby permitting the apparatus to be carried by the user during the playing of games involving the use of one or more balls stored within the container. |

A portable ball-holding device for carrying tennis balls or the like and which can be worn by the player at the small of the back in an unobtrusive manner. A substantially flat base member has a facing surface, a reverse surface and a plurality of projections extending from the facing surface and mutually spaced to define a plurality of ball receiving regions each dimensioned to removably receive one ball. Each projection is provided with an enlarged head portion at the distal end to facilitate retention of a ball.Several alternate means for attaching the holding device to a carrying member include a central portion of the base member and a pair of flanking flexible tab members formed so that the tab members may be inserted into the waistband of a player's garment, with the rear surface of the base member and the front surface and the free end of each tab member textured to provide improved frictional engagement with the player's garment; and adhesion means secured to the reverse surface of the base member for releasable attachment to a complementary adhesion means secured to the player's garment; and a pair of slots formed in opposing edges of the base member through which a fabric or leather belt may be passed to secure the device around the player's waist.A cover member fabricated from transparent plastic forms a protective package for the balls, which may also function as a pressurized original sale carton by providing a rupturable seal at the junction between the cover portion and the base member. |
