Abstract: An extendible and collapsible stand holds and stores a bowling ball for a bowler during bowling activities. This stand can have a tapered shape from a base up to a seat on which the bowling ball sits. Multiple extension segments can be slidably connected together in this tapered shape and can individually extend and lock to vary or adjust the height of the stand. The seat forming the top of the stand has a concave shape to provide a compatible surface for which the ball will rest. The seat can also have a lighting means for shining light downward onto the stand base and surface supporting the stand. When not in use, the stand height can collapse down for efficient carry by the user.

Abstract: A ball chair may comprise a chair frame, a ball body and an adjusting unit. The chair frame has a connecting base and a legs base, and a supporting column formed therebetween is configured to achieve a telescopic action thereby adjusting a height of the ball chair. The connecting base is formed in a concave shape to form a housing space therein, and an annular frame is formed at an upper end of the connecting base. The ball body is configured to be coupled on the connecting base of the chair frame, and the annular frame is configured to couple with an outer periphery of the ball body thereby limiting a position thereof. As a result, the ball chair is suitable for different statures of users and enables the users to sit thereon for training or rehabilitation.

Abstract: A golf putting stroke practicing device includes a box-like housing designed to lie on any appropriate surface such as a carpeted floor wherein the front and bottom panels of the housing are provided with semi-circular/half-round cutouts that together create the realistic illusion of a regulation golf hole. The front of the housing is configured to deflect errant shots away from the hole opening. The device is easily carried and stored and can hold a number of regulation balls when not in use.

Abstract: Embodiments of the disclosure can relate to systems and methods for sorting balls. The systems and methods may involve the use of a ball-feeding mechanism for receiving one or more balls, and feeding the one or more balls to a projection element. The projection element may be located beneath the ball-feeding mechanism such that the balls drop from the ball-feeding mechanism to the projection element, and the balls then project from the projection element to a ball-sorting apparatus. The balls may then subsequently be sorted into a sorting container of one or more sorting containers based on the projected height of the ball.

Abstract: An automatic ball launcher includes a ball feed control system that includes a meter wheel with radially-spaced ribs or grooves to selectively block and pass balls to the flywheels of the launcher. The meter wheel rotates to selectively block and release a single ball to pass at a time. The controller of the launcher can be programmed to stop the meter wheel when a ball has been metered by monitoring the current at peak of the motor driving the meter wheel. A meter-event can be determined to have occurred when the current of the drive motor drops to a trough by a pre-set magnitude following a rise to a peak value. A remote control can be provided for the user to operate the launching machine and adjust a plurality of parameters.

Abstract: A user interface includes a plurality of pass receipt locations rendered at spaced positions on or adjacent to the rendering of a three-point line to correspond with pass receipt locations on a basketball playing surface. Each pass receipt location is individually and directly selected by physical touch to define a custom basketball practice arrangement which is programmed into a control system to cause an ejector mounted to a frame to launch at least one basketball to each selected location.
