  • a bearing support 33 (FIGS. 1 and 2) cantilever carrying a long club. designated as a whole at 34 and comprising. for example. a metal bracket 35 having an end wood portion with a wide front recess or notheh 37. in front of which a plurality of strings 36 are tensioned. these strings being of a suitable and per se known material and restrained at one end to a per se known turnbuckle for imparting the desired tension to the strings.
  • the club 34 is provided with a driving extension 39: at the same end.
  • a strong spring 41 is bonded at 40. the other end of which is secured to a threaded pin 42. the latter passing through a plate 43 prior to screw-threading in a sleeve 44 terminating with an adjusting handwheel for the tension of said spring 4].
  • Said plate 43 is welded or otherwise restrained to a cylindrical crown member 46 which is perpendicular thereto and within which a circular cam 47 is freely rotablc. the function of this cam 47 being described in the following.
  • a first drive motor is is provided. designated as a whole at 48. particularly but not exclusively of electric type. driving through a first reduction gear 49 (FlG. 4] a small pulley 50. in turn driving said pulley 23 (FIG. l) by means of a belt 51. thus rotating the assembly comprising the two belts 24 and associated strips 25. as well as the inner conveying channels 29.
  • a further reduction gear 52 the output shaft of said reduction gear is effective to drive a spider 53 (FIGS. 1 and 2).
  • this spider being provided with a plurality of arms. at the ends thereof having rollers or ball bearings 54 for engaging said lower extension 39 of the club 34 against the action of the spring 4
  • a second drive motor is provided. designated as a whole at 55 (FIG. 3 particularly but not exclusively of electric type. driving through a reduction gear 56 a shaft 57 arranged rearwardly of the device.
  • said shaft 57 will drive on onehand said shaft It at right angles thereto. and on the other hand said circular cam 47 which is eceentrically mounted to its dri ⁇ e shaft. this cam being suitably angularly timed rel alive to said shaft 1]. as more clearly explained in com nection with the operation description.
  • the device according to the invention has tv o motors completely separate from each other. so that the operation description will become clearer when first examining the movements provided by said first motor 48 and then those provided by said second motor 55. it being however apparent that both said motors could jointly operate. providing for the combination of the individual movements.
  • the motor 48 will rotably drive through said pulley S and belt 5
  • the device is filled with a substantial amount of balls through the hopper inlet 28. these ball accumulating of course in the bottom of the cage.
  • the channels 29 pick up a number of balls. which are moved upwards and dropped into the feeding channel at the inlet 30. upon reaching the top of the cage. the channels being evidently overturned prior to initiating a downward movement.
  • the feeding channel is always full of balls. continuously supplied to the inlet owing to the channel slope.
  • the motor 48 also rotably drives said spider 53.
  • a damper which. in the case shown. comprises a wheel 60 idly mounted on an axis or pivot 6
  • the force by which the ball is striken and launched will exclusively depend on the tension of the spring 4] which can be manually set by said handwheel 45.
  • the slope to a horizontal plane of the launching direction can be changed as desired by positioning said arm 12 as desired. and hence the slope for the frame 8 relative to frame 1. or by acting on the manual jack 7 causing the slope for the entire device with respect to the front wheel 4.
  • the transverse direction can be also selected and set by positioning said arm 12, or the entire device as a limit.

  • a spring 74 is provided on the opposite side and secured on one side to said blade and on the other side to the upright 16. The blade will immediately move over the damper 60 at the ball launching region. that is on the front side of the opposing lips 30-32.
  • the operation of the blade 70 is cstremely simple and unique.
  • the arm 12 operates to raise the assembly of frame 8.
  • the rope 73 as restrained to the fixed frame 1 will apply a downward traction or pull on the lever 72. the latter causing an automatic lift for the blade 70 against the action of the spring 74.
  • the spring 74 will automatically lower the blade 70. which accordingly does not any longer intercept the launched or thrown ball.
  • the length of said arm 12 is adjustable and accordingly also the excursion of the entire rocking carriage 8 is adjustable relative to the supporting frame I.
  • the device is preferably fitted with electrical motors.
  • such motors can be remote controlled readily by a player. thereby enabled to adjust as desired the type of throw and also the cycle or sequence of the desired throws.
  • the device has been shown with the omission of the several safeguards for better showing the inner details and operation of the various members.
  • the device would provide at least one safeguard or crank case for completely covering the two geared motor units and at least a second safeguard or crankcase. preferably of the mesh type for completely covering the space as occupied by the club 34 in its movement.
