• A basketball return device comprises a
portable unit for positioning on a basketball court in a location generally underneath a basket into which shooting practice is to be conducted. • The device includes a base with a ball return mechanism therein and a vertically extending chute projecting upwardly from the base and terminating in a hoop-like top opening for positioning substantially directly beneath the basket. • It also includes a horizontal ball-collection and dispersion tube mounted in the base for swinging movement about a vertical axis so that the tube may be positioned to direct balls through an open end thereof to a required location on the court.

An automatic ball projection machine comprising a
housing section that encloses a receiving section, a chute section, an ejection section, and a power section, while supporting a catching section, wherein a plurality of balls are loaded into the housing section through an inlet aperture, delayed in the receiving section, engaged and propelled by the ejection section, and adjustably directed out the chute section through an outlet aperture at a force sufficient for hitting or catching. Balls are thrown back at the apparatus into the catching section, which entraps and guides the balls into the inlet aperture for recycling. Fig. 2 Fig.4 Circuit Diagram For the above machine Automatic Basketball Return Apparatus by Harold F Krings. Fig.2 United States Patent Patent Number:5,681,230 Date of Patent: Oct. 28, 1997 Inventor: Harold F. Krings, 3058 - 38th Ave. Columbus, Nebr. 68601 • An automatic ball return apparatus includes a ball retrieval net with a chute at the lower end for receiving an directing a ball to a ball return mechanism. • A frame with guide rails for directing a ball forwardly out of the mechanism, and an ejector mechanism for launching the ball. An ejector arm connected to a motor which cycles the arm between a cocked position and a launch position, to selectively launch a ball received from the ball retrieval apparatus. • A switch located between the guide rails is activated by a ball dropping onto the ball return mechanism, which operates the motor to eject the ball from the mechanism. • The ball return mechanism is supported on a stand, and a motor with a drive shaft is mounted to a platform on the stand to selectively rotate the ball return mechanism on the stand. • A transmitter is provided for signaling a receiver in a control unit connected to the motor on the stand. To thereby selectively rotate the ball return mechanism either clockwise or counterclockwise. • It is pivotally mounted on a supposed frame, with an adjustment aim extending between the mechanism in the frame permitting adjustment of the angle of elevation of the ball return mechanism relative to the horizontal.

• A basketball passing machine includes a basketball supply which
provides basketballs for a basketball ejector assembly which passes basketballs one-at-a time in a controlled manner along a trajectory towards a waiting player. • The machine can be used with a collection net assembly adjacent a backboard so that basket balls from both made and missed shots are collected and directed into the basketball supply. The supply of basketballs allows the passing machine to pass basketballs to the player as fast as desired, such as every three to four seconds. Balls can be passed from the machine on demand; the pass rate. • the speed of the ball and the number of balls placed in play at each position can be preprogrammecL Sensors (74. 104) are used to generate signals whenever a ball is placed in play and when a shot is made. Shooting accuracy and associated information can be displayed for a player as well as recorded for future refer. Fig.2 Fig.4 Fig.3 Thank You
