| 20120100941 | DISCUS TRAINING DEVICE - A training device for use with a regulation discus includes a glove body sized and shaped for receiving at least a portion of a hand of a discus thrower therein and an attachment for securing the regulation discus to the glove body at a front of the glove body such that the discus thrower can grasp the regulation discus and practice throwing the discus without releasing the regulation discus from the glove body. The glove body has a wrist opening, at least one thumb opening, and at least one finger opening. Thus, even if the discus thrower inadvertently lets go of the regulation discus, the regulation discus is not thrown because it is secured to the glove body worn by the discus thrower. The attachment can be straps that are secured about the regulation discus. | 04-26-2012 |
| 20130196798 | HAND SACK PADDLE APPARATUS - A paddle for playing with a hand sack includes a generally flat body sized and shaped to fit on a hand and one or more straps for securing the body to a person's hand with a flat surface of the body being oriented upward to allow a person to manipulate a hand sack without touching it with the palm. The top surface is treated or provided with an insert that increases the friction between the sack and the paddle to facilitate the hand sack manipulation. | 08-01-2013 |
| 20140171236 | Apparatus Suspension System - A suspension system for eliminating the need to tightly grasp, grip or clench any apparatus (i.e. sports racket, hammer, device, instrument, tennis racquet, squash racquet, racquetball racquet, badminton racquet, lacrosse stick, etc), by producing an apparatus suspension system and decreasing or eliminating the amount of grip pressure required from the hand, wrist and the arm or any part of the body. The suspension system generally includes flexible suspension connector(s), stabilizers, connector-like devices, adjustable finger devices and an adjustable thumb device and/or a glove that, altogether, become a suspension system. | 06-19-2014 |
| 20150314172 | DIRECT CONTACT RACQUET - The present invention relates to a direct contact racquet or “DCR.” In order to enhance the feel experienced by the player, the DCR is designed to maximize the contact between the player's hand and the ball, while still making use of a string-bed or other form of contact to provide a strike surface for the ball. In one embodiment, the strike surface is positioned on one side of the player's hand, such as the palm side or the back of the hand. In particular, a gripping surface for a player's hand is provided behind the string bed. The gripping surface may be shaped in various ways so that a player can comfortably grip it. In addition, the gripping surface may provide a clearance from the string bed when striking a ball. Therefore, the DCR places a user's hand directly behind the string bed surface used to strike the ball. In another embodiment, the player's hand is placed between two strike surfaces to allow striking of a ball using either side of the player's hand. | 11-05-2015 |
| 20160089561 | APPARATUS SUSPENSION SYSTEM - The disclosed suspension apparatus generally includes a strip of flexible, nonelastic material adapted to secure a handle of an implement in a user's hand between the user's finger and thumb; a first apparatus for coupling a first end of the strip to the user's thumb; and a second apparatus for coupling a second end of the strip to the user's finger. The present invention enables a novel tennis stroke including the steps of: securing an apparatus to a hand, said apparatus including: a strip of flexible, nonelastic material adapted to secure a handle of an implement in a user's hand between the user's finger and thumb; a first strap for coupling a first end of the strip to the user's thumb; and a second strap for coupling a second end of the strip to the user's finger; gripping a tennis racquet between a palm of a hand and the apparatus; and employing a ‘square inch’ process to hit a tennis ball with the racquet and apparatus. | 03-31-2016 |

| 20100087279 | Baseball bat handguard - The handguard is an improved protection device to be attached to the knob and grip portion of a bat. A molded substratum provides a means to insure maximum protection for a batter's hands during impact by a baseball or softball. The impact absorbing substratum is partially covered by a thin, formed skin utilized to enhance the marketability and individuality of the protection device by providing an obvious location for display of visual designs or team logos. The handguard is provided with flexible attachment straps to promote a quick on/off process while ensuring the device will not rotate during impact by a ball. | 04-08-2010 |
| 20130217523 | SPORTS EQUIPMENT HANDLE HAVING TACTILE BIOFEEDBACK REFERENCE FEATURE - A sports equipment handle that provides a user with tactile biofeedback is provided. The handle includes a handle body having an upper portion, a lower portion, a grip length, a proximal end, a distal end, and an exterior body surface. The exterior body surface is defined by a first octant, a second octant, a third octant, a fourth octant, a fifth octant, a sixth octant, a seventh octant, and an eighth octant. The handle includes at least a first tactile reference indentation that extends longitudinally along the exterior body surface and is confined to a first tactile octant. The first tactile reference indentation is formed with dimensions specifically tailored to harness the user's natural attributes of sensibility, proprioception, and neuromuscular memory to improve a user's accuracy. | 08-22-2013 |
| 20130267357 | Curved Instrument for the Sport of Object Manipulation - A Curved Instrument for the Sport of Object Manipulation is described as being a solid mold made of soft plastic which is used by but not limited to whirling, twirling, spinning, tossing, grasping, catching, bumping and flipping in the air to oneself, another person or among an unlimited number of persons with virtually any portion of the body. The present invention is composed of four portions attached to one another where each portion contains at least one curve in addition to an indention located in the center of the portion for grip and reference point. Each portion is identical to the other three portions and is a minor image of its respectable opposite portion. The present invention has curves and indentions which makes the instrument safer and easier to use in the sport of object manipulation as the curved instrument is safer and easier to whirl, twirl, spin, toss, grasp, catch, bump and flip with virtually any portion of the body. | 10-10-2013 |
| 20160131167 | MOTION DETECTION DEVICE - A motion detection device includes a sensor that detects a motion and a holding tool that is used in order to mount the sensor to a sports equipment. The holding tool includes a curved plate whose one end is open, and whose inner surface is mounted on the sports equipment. The curved plate has multiple restraint portions which come into contact with the sports equipment by the inner surface being fastened to the sports equipment when the curved plate is mounted on and fastened to the sports equipment, and a discontinuous portion which is disposed between the multiple restraint portions and which causes the inner surface to function as a discontinuous surface by disposing at least any one of a concave portion and a convex portion therebetween. | 05-12-2016 |
| 20160131306 | MOTION DETECTION DEVICE AND EXERCISE APPLIANCE - A motion detection device includes a sensor that detects a motion, and a holder that attaches the sensor to an object to be measured, in which the holder is provided with a first terminal and a second terminal that are electrically connected to the sensor when the sensor is attached, and a wiring that connects the first terminal to the second terminal. | 05-12-2016 |
