Batting practice kit

Details

Inventors: Domroski, Raymond J.;
Assignee:
Primary Examiner: Pinkham; Richard C.
Assistant Examiner: Brown; T.
Attorney, Agent or Firm:

A baseball batting practice kit containing a flexible ball tether swivelably suspended from a horizontal arm whose height is adjustable upon a vertical stand enables solitary batting practice by children who stand in correct relationship to the ball using a practice mat simulating a playing field surface including the shape of a home-plate. The mat is provided with a pair of simulated batter's boxes, each placed on opposite sides of a simulated home plate. One end of the horizontal arm is attached to a vertical standard which is supported by a weighted base. The other end of the horizontal arm has a reduced diameter which receives a looped end of the tether which suspends a ball. A clip is provided on the tether for reducing the diameter of the loop about the reduced diameter of the arm. The base of the batting practice device is placed at one of the simulated batter's boxes in order to suspend the ball over the simulated home plate to be struck by a better standing at the other simulated batter's box.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION The present invention discloses a batting practice kit containing all of the materials necessary to set up a simulated "home-plate" on any horizontal indoor or outdoor surface.
A lightweight hollow base is given adequate mass to support the batting practice device by filling with granular or liquid filler, such as sand or water.
A vertical column extending upward from the weighted base provides support for a horizontal arm which is attachable to the vertical column at any height, thereby enabling use by players of varying stature.
A flexible ball-support tether is swivelably attached to the outboard end of the horizontal arm.
A ball, attached to the lower end of the flexible ball-support tether, is suspended at a selectable convenient height above the playing surface and in selectable lateral relationship with the simulated "home-plate".
