62 Roping dummy apparatus US14148391 2014-01-06 US09913456B2 2018-03-13 John Nolan McCarthy
A team roping dummy that encourages more correct roping. The dummy head can be rotated to different angles to match that of a typical running steer. A blocker post extends vertically out of the neck, which makes the roper deliver the loop at the proper plane. The blocker post further causes the roper to rope the horns in the center of the loop versus roping with the front or back edge of loop. The back legs extend at proper angle of heel loop swing, causing the roper to match the angle of the loop during its swing to the angle of the legs and provides a visual line to match the plane of the loop.

The device is equipped with a hitch attachment, facilitating connection of the device to the rear of a vehicle such as an All-Terrain Vehicle. Attachment of the device to a vehicle provides a means of movement and power for the device, allowing for the device to be towed behind the vehicle while an individual attempts to rope the device with a lariat from horseback. The device is equipped with a wheeled sled, configured to be towed behind the vehicle. A head of the practice device is configured to release the device from the hitch attachment when successfully roped.
66 ROPING DUMMY WITH WASHOUT SIMULATION AND NECK PIVOT ACTION US14815521 2015-07-31 US20160029596A1 2016-02-04 Brandon Bruegman; Joel Stafford; Joshua Love
The instant disclosure is directed to a roping simulator (sometimes referred to as a roping or practice dummy or sled) that is designed to mimic the natural movements and anatomy of roping cattle. Embodiments of the instant disclosure mimic the anatomy and movement of a roping cattle when the animal “washes out,” meaning that its back end slips and pivots during a turn. In various embodiments, the disclosed roping simulator also includes a feature whereby the head portion of the dummy rotates and pivots downward when a force is applied by a rope, simulating head movement of a live animal. In one embodiment, a sled assembly and a body assembly are connected to one another to form the roping simulator. The sled assembly is the component that makes contact with the ground. The body assembly is the component that provides roping targets, and that simulates the movement of live cattle.

Example embodiments include: a generally horizontal main support member; an attachment pin coupled generally orthogonally to the main support member, the attachment pin being configured for attachment to a ski of a roping simulator; and a plurality of tines arranged to protrude through a lower surface of the main support member to scarify soil behind the skis of the roping simulator.
69 ROPING DUMMY APPARATUS US14148391 2014-01-06 US20140193785A1 2014-07-10 JOHN NOLAN McCARTHY
The present invention is a team roping dummy that encourages more correct roping via new innovations. The dummy has a relatively compact main body with collapsible legs, removable head, and internal body storage for head. The dummy head has a means for allowing the head to be rotated to different angles to match that of a typical running steer. The neck is sloped similar to an actual steer. They shoulder of the dummy has a hump as to the shoulders of live steers, which makes roper deliver at the proper angle to achieve the rope curling on the back. It's legs rotate back onto body for storage, which also creates rope storage compartments on both sides of main body. In order to aid in the rope's loop expansion and ease of removal, the legs collapse toward one another under the pressure of a tightened rope, and re-expand after rope is loosened. A blocker post extends vertically out of neck, which makes the roper deliver the loop at the proper plane. The blocker post further causes the roper to rope the horns in the center of the loop versus roping with the front or back edge of loop. The back legs extend at proper angle of heel loop swing, causing the roper to match the angle of the loop during its swing to the angle of the legs and provides a visual line to match the plane of the loop. The dummy has removable and rotatable horns allowing for different horn sizes, shapes, and angles.

78 Roping training device speed roper US10386543 2003-03-13 US20060170163A1 2006-08-03 Girard Perkins
A roping practice device for training headers and heelers is provided. The present training device generally comprises a vehicle-pulled sled unit, a pivotal vertical support unit, and a main frame unit, pivotal about the vertical support unit to allow for offset positioning of the main frame to mimic the natural inclinations of a steer to swing around a corner. The main frame comprises a pivoting frame from which depends a pair of hind legs. A drive means and linkages are provided to rock the legs back and forth and to move the rear of the animal up and down. A linkage for rocking the legs is adjustable and provides a roper the ability to alter the starting point at which the legs rock, thereby allowing the roper to mimic the natural inclinations of a steer to run up the rope and drag. A further adjustable linkage also provides a roper the ability to alter the range of the leg rocking motion, further mimicking the variety of natural reactions exhibited by a steer encountered by a roper in a roping competition and means for staggering or offsetting rear leg movement.
79 Apparatus and system for roping practice US10869621 2004-06-16 US20050282128A1 2005-12-22 Owen Brinkerhoff; Linda Brinkerhoff

The apparatus includes a swivel joint at the base of the head and a swivel joint where the neck joins to the body, and includes actuators that independently move the neck and head to a specified pitch and yaw angle. Additionally, the head may be attached to a rotor plate such that the head may rotate clockwise and counterclockwise. A programmable controller is included that may store actuator sequences that simulate real-time head and neck movements of live animals. The controller may be programmed by a control device that comprises one or more actuators such as joystick actuators, and the joystick actuators may directly control the animated head.

80 Mechanical roping practice device US10838067 2004-05-04 US06945534B1 2005-09-20 Billy Rex Lindsey
A system for roping practice by horse mounted individuals uses a wheel mounted target simulating a live animal and a spring driven tow cable arrangement to impart movement to the target. The system includes means to restrain the target against movement until released by a latch actuated by a hand line held by the horse mounted person or an assistant. The target rolls freely on wheels and includes a brake that causes the target to stop quickly when the tow cable tension is relieved. Construction of the target frame is such that various commonly available molded plastic steer heads can be attached.
