A pitching practice apparatus for indicating if a desired ball speed has been attained or exceeded in a defined strike zone comprising a pivoted ball target assembly for absorbing energy from the ball, a spring for storing the absorbed energy, a ball speed indicator with a signal device and a chassis with cover panels. In operation, a pitched ball impacting the defined strike zone will transfer kinetic energy to the ball target assembly which will convert the energy to rotational kinetic energy. The rotational kinetic energy is then stored as elastic energy of the spring. The ball speed indicator with signal device will sense the deformation of the spring and will indicate if the desired the ball speed has been attained or exceeded by the raising of a flag. The desired ball speed can be set by the user. The apparatus can be made to essentially stop the ball after impact or to allow the ball to rebound.

100 Movable target for a throwing game US192125 1988-05-10 US4804192A 1989-02-14 Hajime Matsumoto; Toshio Suzuki
A movable target for a throwing game is provided including a target body and a target member movably connected to the target body. The target body includes: a gear shaft cooperating with a drive mechanism; a rotary shaft mounted on the gear shaft; a rotary plate having an engagement projection and being loosely mounted on the rotary shaft; a rotary member having a projection formed on its upper surface mounted on the rotary shaft to be slidable longitudinally; a compression spring provided between the rotary plate and the rotary member; an oscillating member oscillatably supported on a supporting shaft passing through a base portion of the target member and a pair of bearing plates erected on the rotary plate, the oscillating member engaging at its upper end the target member; and a projection formed on an upper surface of said rotary member and fitted into a groove formed longitudinally on a lower end surface of the oscillating member. The target member is caused to rotate along with the rotary plate and, when the engagement projection formed on the rotary plate engages a cam mechanism cooperating with the drive mechanism, the rotary plate is prevented from rotating, but the target member oscillates via the oscillating member oscillated by engagement with the projection on the rotary member. Thus, the movable target irregularly rotates and oscillates to enhance the amusement value of a ring toss or ball throwing game.
