Description
- This invention relates to apparatus for practicing a sport or activity that involves causing a ball to follow a trajectory toward a location or target such as a cup or the like.
- The present invention provides a convenient device for practicing golf strokes such as chipping in a small space. The invention is directed to apparatus for catching a projectile such as a golf ball that has been directed to a selected location. The invention includes a basket supported by a pole. The invention may further include a cup mounted in the basket to serve as a target that is smaller than the basket. The invention preferably further includes a plurality of straps arranged to adjust the position of the cup and basket relative to the pole.
- The basket preferably includes an outer ring and a first fabric having an outer edge connected to the outer ring. The first fabric is arranged to form the basket supported by the outer ring. The cup preferably comprises an inner ring and a second fabric connected to the inner ring. The second fabric is arranged to form the cup to have an edge bounded by the inner ring. The cup and basket are formed to catch a projectile directed thereto. A ball that has been hit correctly should fall into the cup. The basket is formed to catch projectiles that have missed the cup.
- The basket may include a plurality of bands that extend generally radially between the inner ring and the outer ring. The straps are connected to corresponding members of the plurality of bands.
- A lower end of the pole preferably extends through the cup. The lower end of the pole may include a spike that may be inserted into the earth to mount the pole in a generally vertical orientation. Alternatively, the invention may include a base having a hole therein that is arranged to receive the lower end of the pole to support the pole.
- The structure and function of the invention may be best understood by referring to the drawings, which are not to scale, and to the following detailed description.
- FIG. 1 is a perspective view of a first embodiment of the invention showing a fabric basket and a fabric cup mounted to a pole;
- FIG. 2 is a perspective view of a second embodiment of the invention showing netting mounted to the ring;
- FIG. 3 is a side elevation view of the invention as shown in FIG. 1 showing the pole mounted to a base;
- FIG. 4 is a side elevation view of the invention as shown in FIG. 1 showing the pole inserted into the ground to hold the pole in a generally vertical orientation;
- FIG. 5 is a side elevation view of a fitting that may be mounted to the pole;
- FIG. 6 illustrates a strap and connector that may be used to mount the basket to the pole; and
- FIG. 7 is a cross sectional view showing the basket and cup being formed of a single sheet of fabric.
- The following detailed description refers to golf as an activity in which the invention may be used. It should be noted that the invention is not limited to golf, but instead, has wide applicability in activities where a projectile such as a ball is directed toward a target.
- FIG. 1 shows a
golf practicing device 10 according to the invention. Anouter ring 12 is covered by awebbing 14. Afirst fabric 16 may be secured to thewebbing 14 bysuitable stitching 18, indicated by a dashed line. As used herein the term “fabric” means any generally sheet-like flexible material such as cloth or a sheet of synthetic material. Theouter ring 12 preferably is formed of an elastomeric material that may be folded into a figure eight configuration without being permanently deformed. Theouter ring 12 preferably has the form of a circle when it is unstressed. As shown in FIGS. 3 and 4, thefirst fabric 16 sags inside the outer ring to form abasket 31. - An
inner ring 20 having a smaller diameter than theouter ring 12 is mounted to theouter ring 12 by a plurality of fabric bands or straps 32-35. Theinner ring 20 thus is suspended in thebasket 31 formed by theouter ring 12 and thefirst fabric 16. Theouter ring 12 and theouter ring 12 preferably are generally concentric. Webbing 24 preferably covers theinner ring 20 and is arranged so that asecond fabric 28 may be connected thereto bysuitable stitching 26. The bands 32-35 preferably are stitched to thewebbing 18 and to thewebbing 24. Thesecond fabric 28 is dimensioned such that it sags inside theinner ring 20 to form acup 29. - A
pole 40 extends through the center of thecup 31. A plurality of straps 42-44 extends between a fitting 45 that is mounted to thepole 40 and outer ends 46-48 of the bands 32-34. As shown in FIG. 3, thepole 40 has alower end 50 that may be mounted in abase 52 that has ahole 54 arranged to receive thelower end 50 of thepole 40. Alternatively, thelower end 50 of thepole 40 may be forced into the ground. In either arrangement, thepole 40 is preferably generally vertically mounted. Thestraps outer ring 12 are used to lift theouter ring 12 to place thecup 29 andbasket 31 in desired positions. Therear strap 43 is used to tilt the basket and cup away from the vertical if the user so desires. The straps 42-44 preferably include means such as buckles, hooks or the like for adjusting their lengths, which allows adjustment of the height and angular orientation of thebasket 31. The straps 42-44 are examples of support members that could be used to support thebasket 31 on thepole 40. Other flexible support means such as strings, ropes, wires, chains or the like could be used instead of the straps 42-44. - As shown in FIG. 5, the fitting may have
hooks 60 that provide convenient means for connecting the straps 42-44 to thefitting 45. Aflag 62 may be attached to anupper portion 64 of thepole 40. The straps 42-44 are connected to thehooks 60 by conventional fastening means well-known in the art. As an example FIG. 5 shows aconnector 70 connected to thestrap 42. Theconnector 74 includes apassage 74 that allows theconnector 70 to be secured to thehook 60 as shown in FIG. 4. - The
pole 40 preferably is formed ofpole segments pole segments - FIG. 2 shows an embodiment of the invention in which the
fabrics netting 66 and netting 68, respectively. - FIG. 7 shows an embodiment of the invention in which the
cup 29 andbasket 31 are formed from a single piece of material. A generally circular region of the material is gathered and stitched to thewebbing 24 on the inner ring. The material sags inside the inner ring to form thecup 29. The material is then stitched to thewebbing 18 to form thebasket 31 around thecup 29. - When the
basket 31 is arranged as shown in FIGS. 1-3, the angular orientation ofbasket 29 andcup 31 may be adjusted to facilitate practicing a golf stroke commonly known as “chipping.” A person using the invention for practicing chipping should adjust the straps 42-44 to place thebasket 31 andcup 29 at the desired height and angle. The person then places a golf ball a desired distance from thecup 29 and attempts to hit the ball in thecup 29 using a selected golf club. Ordinarily, a ball that misses thecup 29 will be caught by thebasket 31 so that the user may practice chipping in a limited amount of space without having all the balls that miss the cup travel a significant distance. - The structures and methods disclosed herein illustrate the principles of the present invention. The invention may be embodied in other specific forms without departing from its spirit or essential characteristics. The described embodiments are to be considered in all respects as exemplary and illustrative rather than restrictive. Therefore, the appended claims rather than the foregoing description define the scope of the invention. All modifications to the embodiments described herein that come within the meaning and range of equivalence of the claims are embraced within the scope of the invention.
