| 109 | Ball thrower | US11893055 | 2007-08-14 | US20080072886A1 | 2008-03-27 | Brett Cattlin |
| The ball throwing device (1) (FIG. 1) can be attached to a dog leash (2) (FIG. 2) or purposely made length of strap (3) (FIG. 10) using the purposely designed handle on the ball throwing device (4) (FIG. 1) or loop (15) (FIG. 10) or cord lock handle (12) (FIG. 19). With the ball throwing device (1) (FIG. 11) securely attached to a dog leash (2), the clasp end of the dog leash (5) can then be connected to a supplied retaining ring (6) located on the leash handle (7). The ball throwing device can be used for picking up a ball (8) (FIG. 6) hands free. This is achieved by placing the ball throwing device (1) over a ball (8) (FIG. 9) and pressing down firmly. The ball throwing device (1) fits neatly over the ball (8) and is able to hold the ball securely. The ball throwing device (1) (FIG. 5) could have an adjustable mechanism (9) or (FIG. 22) threaded knob (13) entering a threaded washer (14) for the purpose of controlling the distance that a ball (8) can be thrown. This can be achieved by rotating an adjuster knob (10) (FIG. 5) or (13) (FIG. 22), which is located on the outside edge of the housing cup hemisphere. The adjuster knob (10) (FIG. 5), which when rotated, causes a tapered inner plate (9) (FIG. 3) located on the inside of the housing cup (11) to revolve (FIG. 4) and can be used to decrease the overall size of the housing cup's (1) (FIG. 5) inner casing hemisphere (11). The threaded knob (13) (FIG. 22) can also be used to decrease the overall size of the inner casing hemisphere (11) by rotating the threaded knob (13) inward. With the ball throwing device (1) (FIG. 12) attached or incorporated into a dog lead (2) (FIG. 11) or strap (3) FIG. 10), the lead/strap can be swung in a forward/over arm throwing motion (FIG. 12), allowing the ball (8) to be projected. The projection of a ball is achieved by the ball releasing from the housing cup (1) through the use of centrifugal force. The distance a ball (8) can be thrown depends on which position the adjuster mechanism plate (9) (FIG. 14) is set. With the adjuster knob (10) rotated so that the tapered inner plate (9) (FIG. 3) is recessed and in the downward position, the tapered plate (9) falls behind the line of the inner casing hemisphere (11) (FIG. 14). The adjuster, whilst in the downward position, causes no interference with the ball (8) held within the housing cup (1) and enables the ball (8) to release and exit from the ball throwing device (1) with less force and momentum that is applied through the over arm swinging action of the leash (2) or strap (3) (FIG. 12). With the adjuster mechanism (9) (FIG. 4) in the upward position, the tapered inner plate (9) (FIG. 15) falls to the outside line of the housing cup's inner casing hemisphere (11). The tapered plate (9) (FIG. 5) whilst in this upward position, reduces the overall size of the inner casing hemisphere (11) which in turn, interferes and tightens the ball (8) (FIG. 9) against the housing cup's inner casing hemisphere (11) therefore holding the ball (8) inside the housing cup (1) more securely. The upward position of the tapered plate (9) (FIG. 5) also requires the user to apply more force to the over arm throwing action (FIG. 12) to enable the ball (8) to release and exit from the ball throwing device (1) with greater force and momentum, which in turn results in the ball (8) travelling further. The ball throwing device (1) (FIG. 6) is designed so that it can be held on the dog leash (2) whilst not in use, with or without the ball (8) inserted (FIG. 16). This feature enables the user to avoid having to place the dirty, messy ball (8) in their pocket or bag. | ||||||

| 120 | Compression actuated game or simulation apparatus | US357432 | 1994-12-15 | US5681043A | 1997-10-28 | Wade Winblad; Fred Miller |
| An apparatus providing a novel challenge to skill and dexterity includes a projectile and a deformable container having a drive medium contained therein. The deformable container is in fluid communication with a launch member, such that deformation of the container is communicated to the launch member, thereby causing the launch member to impact the projectile. Deformation may be caused by physical pressure applied by an operator. In this case, when an operator strikes the deformable container, it is compressed, forcing the drive medium, which may be air, to the launch member, which may be a piston, causing the launch member to strike a game ball, sending it toward the target. The deformable container may comprise resilient and rigid foam. Alternatively, a plurality of independently compressible containers, each actuating a separate piston or other launch member may be provided. The separate launch members are positioned adjacent to one another, and direct the projectile in different directions, the resulting projectile trajectory determined by the vector sum of the individual impacts. A plurality of targets in vertical arrangement may also be provided, as well as a mechanism for loading game projectiles onto a resting location from which they are propelled toward the target. | ||||||
