After ordering these tubes I did lots of reading about how lightweight race tubes are horribly unreliable & require daily inflation. Nothing could be more untrue about these contis I got them as a set with Ultra Sport II Folding tires & I ride every day. The rim has bottoms out sometimes twice a day, and I dread a pinch flat each time it happens, but so far the tubes have held up lovely. I've begun stocking up on tubes & conti tires bc I think they have the best product & reputation in the sector.
Tubeless! Disc! Aero! Blah, blah blah. Cyclists should wear wool shorts (BLACK), a jersey with a single sponsor, a cycling cap, and ride a Columbus-steel bike with a set of Continental Grand Prix and Conti tubes around Mavic hoops with 32 spokes. It's how things are supposed to be - not all this newfangled shiny plastic trash.
Even if you have succumbed to the lure of the modern, grab these - they'll last, they'll fill with air, and the spare will fold nicely into your jersey pocket.
Been using this tube for years mostly with Vittoria Rubino Pro's with a fairly high PSI (110-120). I get pretty good milage out of these on my road bike, commuter bike, and track bike.
The Continental Race Light Road tube is a fantastic tube and at BikeTiresDirect they are a very reasonable price. The Continental tubes are well made and long lasting for light weight tubes. Multiple rolling resistance tests show that the lightweight butyl tubes are within 2-3 watts as latex, but a lot less expensive. And, butyl tubes are safer to use in carbon clinchers due to their higher heat tolerance. The pressure loss of the Continental Race Light tubes is much better than any latex tube. The Continental Race Light tubes offer a great option for fast riding when the limitations of latex aren't worth the benefits.
I got these this year since I've started racing as well as doing more high climb centuries (9000 - 11,000 ft) to save weight. However, I'm switching back to Tour 700s because I've been having so many pinch flats during training rides. The rural roads around here have plenty of potholes, rocks, debris, etc. and I got stranded 50 miles from home yesterday with two pinch flats (one on my rear tire and then another on my spare).
Have used these Continental Race light tubes in 700x25 (Michelin) racing and training tires for several years. No problems. Stems work well with screw-on, shop and bike-mounted, pumps (Lezyne.) Sometimes I deflate slightly after ride, sometimes I just leave them at 110 psi. Doesn't seem to make any difference. (Although I still feel, from the old sew-days, that stretched rubber should be allowed to rest after a ride.) I would give it 5-stars except can't see calling any plain-ol' bike tube awesome and a steal. ,-

Exercise is good for the body and mind, especially when living with a chronic condition like Parkinson’s disease. However, tremors and balance issues can make finding safe ways to stay active difficult. Stationary bikes can be a good option at home, in the gym, or during physical therapy appointments.
Depending on your starting fitness level and symptoms of Parkinson’s, you can consider supervised training sessions or a solo workout. Here are seven benefits you can expect from bike therapy.
Studies have demonstrated that cycling improves motor function and leads to higher scores on the Unified Parkinson’s Disease Rating Scale (UPDRS) Motor III Test. Using MRI, researchers discovered that exercise activates parts of the brain responsible for global motor function. So even though cycling involves the legs, it improves motor function in both the upper and lower body.
Cadence (or how quickly you pedal) matters. Motor function benefits were associated with cycling at 80 revolutions per minute. Fortunately, a person can start to realize significant improvements after three exercise sessions, showing that cycling doesn’t take long to start paying off.
A study of 14 people with Parkinson’s found that high-speed cycling on a recumbent bike improved static (staying still) and dynamic (in motion) balance in participants. After riding the recumbent bike two days per week for six weeks under the supervision of a trainer, participants demonstrated better balance overall. Sessions lasted 30 minutes and included a warmup and cooldown. Researchers suggested that these positive changes may help reduce the risk of potentially debilitating falls.
A member of MyParkinsonsTeam described how they use exercise to improve their balance. “For balance, I do physical therapy. My physical therapist is now teaching me boxing,” they said. “Plus, I go to the gym three times a week for the treadmill or stationary weights.”
You can mix cycling with other forms of exercise or keep it as your main activity to stay healthy with Parkinson’s.
People are typically diagnosed with Parkinson’s around the same average age at which cardiovascular disease also becomes a concern. In addition, some studies suggest that Parkinson’s is associated with higher heart disease rates. Aerobic exercise like cycling is an enjoyable way to raise your heart rate and protect your heart.
The American Heart Association recommends that most adults aim for 150 minutes of moderate-intensity exercise or 75 minutes of vigorous exercise each week. Cycling or bike therapy can be a component of such a high-intensity exercise regimen. However, there’s no one-size-fits-all exercise prescription for Parkinson’s disease. Talk to your health care provider to determine the right physical activity goals for you so you can gain the beneficial effects of exercise.
Exercise makes you feel good, physically and mentally. One benefit of exercise is a boost in brain chemicals that promote a sense of happiness and well-being. For some people, exercise is an effective part of treatment for depression. “I find exercise is the best way to keep fatigue at bay. It also helps lift my spirits,” said a MyParkinsonsTeam member.
In addition, studies on mice show promise for Parkinson’s disease. Researchers observed how exercise helps brain cells use dopamine more efficiently. It also prolongs dopamine’s effects, suggesting potential benefits for humans as well.
Fatigue is a common symptom of Parkinson’s disease. While you may not have the energy for an extensive workout, sometimes a short bout of activity can help. “I find that regular exercise is a necessity for me trying to handle fatigue,” said a MyParkinsonsTeam member. “I ride my Theracycle every day for an hour or a half hour, and I go to Rock Steady Boxing three times a week for 90 minutes. Sometimes, if I am really fatigued, I make myself ride my Theracycle for at least 15 minutes, and it does recharge me.”
Theracycle is a brand of stationary bike that is designed to improve motor symptoms in people with neurological conditions.
Fatigue can result from poor sleep. Members of MyParkinsonsTeam have reported difficulty sleeping, sometimes because of vivid dreams, involuntary movements at night, or other unknown reasons. “I never had sleep problems until Parkinson’s disease,” said one member. “I get so tired that I fall asleep at 8:30 p.m. and then wake up at 3:30 a.m. I toss and turn until I have to get up to go to work. I have to keep myself busy until 9:30 p.m. or so to get a full night’s sleep.”
A bike ride can be a good way to kick-start your energy levels during the day and may help you get a better night’s sleep by tiring you out. “Chronic fatigue just some days is better than others. But if I can push myself to get out and do something, it seems to help,” shared another member.
There is research showing that people with Parkinson’s disease perform certain mental tasks better while cycling. Tasks involving recall memory, visual processing, and executive function had faster response times when participants were cycling (both in people with Parkinson’s and without). Parkinson’s can make performing two tasks at once particularly difficult. However, cycling seems to have a different effect on mental tasks than other types of exercise, making it easier to think clearly during the activity.
Cycling and other forms of group exercise provide opportunities to connect with others. Whether through an online platform for cycling at home or a group class at your local fitness facility, you can meet people with similar interests through exercise.
Ask your neurologist or other health care provider if they know about any cycling programs specifically for people with Parkinson’s disease, or check out Pedaling for Parkinsons. Your local senior center or YMCA may also offer cycling classes in your community. To help support your goals, you can seek out a trainer or physical therapist with Parkinson’s disease experience.
On MyParkinsonsTeam — the social network for people with Parkinson’s disease and their loved ones — more than 99,000 members come together to ask questions, give advice, and share their stories with others who understand life with Parkinson’s disease.
Do you use a stationary bike or other form of exercise therapy to improve your Parkinson’s symptoms? How does your exercise program affect your quality of life? Share your experience in the comments below, or start a conversation by posting on your Activities page.

If you are a dedicated runner, there is no shortage of GPS running watches to choose from. They track everything from calorie burn to VO2 max. The feature packed devices are on the expensive side, while others are more affordable.
Essential reading: Compare sports watches with our interactive tool
Built-in GPS is important as it provides for more accurate location and distance information. It also renders you free from your phone. Such devices cost a bit more but are a real step up from most ordinary fitness trackers. These watches have built-in heart rate monitors and some will assist you with your swimming and cycling needs, too.
Below you’ll find our pick of the top GPS running watches. We’ve also included quick descriptions of some of the many features they offer.
Garmin Forerunner 235 | Garmin Fenix 5 | Garmin Forerunner 935 | Apple Watch Series 4 | TomTom Spark 3 Cardio | Garmin Forerunner 645 Music | Amazfit Stratos | Polar M600 | Fitbit Ionic Adidas edition | Garmin Vivoactive 3
Best for runners
Despite being a few years old, the Garmin Forerunner 235 is a great option if you are looking for a value for money GPS running watch. In addition to keeping tabs on your runs, the device provides you with some more advanced features such as a recovery advisor and VO2 Max.
Forerunner 235 features Garmin’s Elevate wrist heart rate technology. This will help you to heart-rate zone train, and like most Garmin devices, it will keep tabs on the all-important resting heart rate.
The timepiece can also be used for 24/7 activity tracking and will count steps, calories and distance throughout the day. The move bar with vibration alerts motivates you to get up from the sofa when you’ve been chilling for too long.
You’ll also find some smartwatch features such as smart notifications and audio prompts, as well as customization options and excellent battery life.
All in all, this is a well rounded device for the price that will easily meet the needs of most runners. There are rumours, though, that 245 will come soon with bumped up specs. So watch this space as they say.
The Fenix 5 is a beast of a watch and features everything you would ever want for fitness training and outdoor navigation. The device is perfect for those who are into multi sports and want to be able to track everything. The new Fenix line is lighter and sleeker than previous models and more feature-packed.
The Fenix 5, Fenix 5S and Fenix 5X come with an optical heart rate sensor, GPS and GLONASS, a bunch of multi-sport activity modes, daily activity tracking, and smartphone notifications. The 5X is the daddy of the bunch and also offers mapping features.
In terms of sizes, the 5S is down from a diameter of 51.5mm on Fenix 3 to 47mm. The 5S is Garmin’s first Fenix watch designed with the female sports enthusiast in mind. It sports a smaller footprint for smaller wrists – 42mm diameter. The Fenix 5X has a 51mm diameter to accomodate the additional functionality.
You can use it for cycling, open water swimming, cross country skiing, climbing, indoor run/bike/swim, hiking and much more. In addition to heart rate tracking from the wrist, the watch provides advanced running metrics including vertical oscillation and vertical ratio, VO2 max and a recovery advisor. Outdoor navigation includes things like 3-axis compass, altimeter and barometer and TracBack feature.
And finally, while not the easiest to navigate, the Garmin Connect software is top notch whether you are utilising the smartphone app or the even more comprehensive web dashboard.
This GPS multisport watch is for athletes who want in-depth data as they train and compete. It features new performance monitoring tools and a host of sensors. The timepiece is able to track a number of cardio activities such as running, swimming and cycling automatically. Or you can opt to transition between sports by pressing a button.
Where the device stands out most, though, is in its detailed analysis of performance. The Forerunner 935 aggregates past training results and then uses that data to evaluate the amount of effort users exert during fitness sessions, i.e. if you are slacking off or overdoing it. It does this through training load and training status.
Training load looks at users’ exercise activity over the last seven days and compares it to the optimal range for your fitness and recent training history. Training status does the same thing with a more short-term view, and lets you know if you’re training productively, peaking or overreaching. Additionally, the training effect metric tracks and reviews the aerobic and anaerobic benefit of a training session.
There are also other advanced dynamics for running, cycling and swimming, including FTP, VO2 max, cadence, stride length, ground contact time and balance, vertical oscillation and vertical ratio. Some of these metrics are, however, only available when the watch is paired with Garmin’s new Running Dynamics Pod, which clips right onto your waistband.
All things considered, Garmin’s latest wearable is a nice marriage of style and functionality. It offers a slightly lower price and smaller form-factor than the Fenix 5 series, while not compromising on features.
The Apple Watch Series 4 delivers solid improvements over its predecessor, including a bigger display, ECG sensor, fall detection, performance upgrades and more.
Apple says the screen real estate is larger by 30% on both the 40mm and 44mm version. This allows for additional complications and more info on the screen. Other hardware improvements include a revamped digital crown, 50% louder speakers, and a back that is made of black ceramic and sapphire crystal for better cellular reception.
In terms of fitness, the device features a next generation accelerometer and gyroscope which can sample motion data 8 times faster. In addition to dishing out more accurate fitness tracking stats, this allows the watch to identify and send out alerts if you fall or trip.
The previous generation introduced a number of heart rate sensing functions such as high heart rate alerts. This has been expanded now to detect low heart rates. Series 4 also intermittently analyzes heart rhythms and sends alerts for atrial fibrillation. There is also an FDA-approved ECG sensor that lets you know if your heart rhythm is normal or there are issues.
For runners who like listening to music
The Spark 3 builds on the comprehensive features of the original device and is a GPS running watch that lets you stream music without your phone.
In addition to GPS and on-board storage for 500 songs, you also get multiple sport tracking, 24/7 activity and sleep tracking and a heart rate sensor.
It terms of added sensors, the watch now includes a compass in case you get lost when running on a new trail. You can also use TomTom fitness watch to see where the path has taken you, and upload new routes to explore different places.
This water-resistant device excels in ease of use and the metrics that it churns out are excellent. If you are after a no-nonsense featured packed running watch and activity tracker, you won’t go wrong with Spark 3.
The Forerunner 645 Music is was made official at CES 2018 earlier this year. It comes with a plethora of features, including built-in storage for music and NFC for payments on the go.
When it comes to design, the successor to the 630 has seen a significant revamp. Resembling a blend between Vivoactive 3 and Forerunner 935, the lightweight timepiece comes with a round screen and discreet crown.
You get water-resistance, all the advanced performance metrics we’ve come to expect from Garmin and most importantly the integration of a music player, a first for the company. There is enough on-device music storage for up to 500 songs, and you can connect Bluetooth headphones and sync music from select streaming services for offline listening.
For runners on a budget
Amazfit Stratos comes with built-in GPS, advanced performance metrics and support for over a dozen different sports. This includes swimming, cycling, running, tennis, soccer, mountaineering, trail running, triathlon and skiing. Best of all, it does all this at a budget price. And it does it well.
The advanced performance analytics include Vo2Max, Training Effect, Recovery Time, Training Load and more. The company has teamed up with Firstbeat to bring these to the watch and with Zepp Labs for real-time sports analytics. You can also use the timepiece as a 24/7 fitness device.
The looks are not too shabby either. The watch is round and comes with a 316L stainless steel finish combined with other water-resistant materials such as carbon fiber to provide the lightest weight possible. Battery life is a perfectly respectable 5 days. All in all, this is a great value for money device.
Best Android wear
The Polar M600 is an Android Wear smartwatch designed to suit an active lifestyle. The watch retains the signature look and feel of other Polar products. Inside the thin and attractive casing is a built-in GPS, and underneath the module is an optical heart rate monitor.
The M600 will keep tabs on your activity 24/7 and provide you with practical support to help you achieve your individual daily activity goal. The watch can measure pace, distance, speed and other metrics when running and cycling. Its also swim-proof and can withstand even the roughest of weather.
The onboard GPS, heart rate tracking via six LED lights, built in music (4GB of storage is on-board), third party apps and other smartwatch abilities make this an attractive option.
Its worth noting, Polar has recently announced two new sports-watches. Featuring an improved heart rate monitor, advanced performance metrics and smart coaching, the more high-spec Vantage V is geared towards the serious fitness enthusiast. The Vantage M is a slightly stripped back version that also comes with a much lower price-tag. Both will be available in November. The company says the watches are the most advanced in its history.
For 24/7 activity tracking
With its blocky, retro design, Ionic is not exactly a looker. But it does pack some decent specs under the hood. You’ll find 8 different sensors inside. This includes an altimeter, 3-axis accelerometer, digital compass, GPS, optical heart rate monitor, ambient light sensor, vibration motor and a new relative SpO2 sensor for measuring blood oxygen levels.
When it comes to features, this is a smartwatch that puts fitness first. It offers everything you would expect from a Fitbit device, along with capturing real-time stats on 20 different types of activities including swimming. There is on-board storage for music too, smartphone notifications and Fitbit pay.
Vivoactive 3 is the successor to the Vivoactive HR, a Swiss knife of activity trackers. Garmin has realised that it needs to introduce a less bulky form factor if it is to appeal to a larger demographic. And on that count, the Vivoactive 3 does not dissapoint. With a classy new design, it closely resembles Garmin’s Fenix and Forerunner line.
Apart from the design, the main news here is the inclusion of Garmin Pay. Which means Garmin customers can finally pay for purchases with their timepiece. The functionality is enabled by FitPay and supports Visa and Mastercard debit and credit cards from major issuing banks.
There are 15 built-in sports profiles, including new ones for snowboarding, cardio, yoga, eliptical and stair stepper. Vivoactive 3 will also let you mix it up by creating customized workouts. Other new features include VO2Max and stress/workout tracking.

FIELD OF THE INVENTION
- BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
This invention relates to a return net device for receiving, arresting and returning a ball to a central collection point. Although the system is intended primarily for use in conjunction with a baseball tossing device as a baseball batting practice system, it is also equally usable for receiving pitched or thrown balls in a pitching or throwing practice system. The structure and principles of the present system may also be used for practice with other ball games such as golf and soccer.
Net systems for receiving pitched, thrown or batted balls are known. Typically, a pitched or batted ball is directed toward a net suspended on a frame. The ball is either stopped or redirected by the net (such that the ball falls to the ground for subsequent collection), or it may have a resilience which causes the ball to rebound towards the batter or pitcher. Examples of such net systems are disclosed in U.S. Pat. Nos. 5,205,564 and 5,588,645 and Canadian patent 2,089,526.
The disadvantage of these systems is apparent. Either the pitcher or an assistant must collect the ball from the net and return it to the batting or pitching position, or the ball may rebound erratically generally towards the batter or pitcher, which still requires collection before use.
- SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
It has been recognised that a system which both stops and collects the balls for return to the batter or pitcher would be advantageous. Mechanical systems to move the collected balls are disclosed in U.S. Pat. Nos. 4,575,081 and 5,141,226. A gravity return device is disclosed in U.S. Pat. No. 5,746,670 which has a return net and a collection system for operation in association with a ball pitching device. The system, however, relies solely on the net to stop a ball and consequently a pitched ball may rebound from the net, jumping over the tray and still require collection. Clearly a system that fully arrests the ball on impact is desirable.
The present invention is a training device for batting or pitching practice. In a game, such as baseball or variations thereof, a ball may be batted or pitched. In training practice, where repetitive pitching or batting is required, a net may be used to aid in stopping of projected balls, thereby saving extensive effort to retrieve distant balls. Further, a system which will not only stop the balls, but collect them is of greater advantage. Finally, a system which will not only stop and collect the balls but also return them to a point of use will be of even greater advantage.
The present invention comprises a ball catching and return net suspended loosely from a frame, and includes an inclined collection tray portion mounted on the frame so as to receive balls which have been stopped by the net, and funnel them to a collection point adjacent the batter or pitcher utilizing the system. In the case of batting practice, the return net device can be associated with a ball tossing device such that the ball is tossed consistently for the batter, and the batter then bats the ball into the net where it is arrested, drops to the collection tray, and rolls down the collection tray to a collection point and into a chute which returns the ball to the ball tossing machine for reuse. In the event of pitching practice, the ball would be pitched into the net, arrested, drop to the tray and roll to a collection point for reuse by the pitcher.
In such a return net, the user is situated relatively close to the net. Normally the distance is not much more than the radius of a swung bat, and often will constitute no more than six feet between a batter and the net. Consequently, it is necessary that the net system not be so resilient as to cause or allow projected balls to rebound towards the pitcher or batter, or even to rebound out of a collection tray.
In accordance with one embodiment of the invention, a net comprising a rectangular or diamond pattern is hung on the diagonal such that the weight of the triangular portion of the net below the point of contact with the ball is sufficient to resist the momentum of the ball and bring it to a complete stop, permitting the ball to drop to the inclined collection tray below. In a further embodiment of the invention, the net includes a series of rectangular flaps attached to the net where the hanging net contacts the collection tray. In the event a ball is pitched or batted into the lower portion of the net, i.e. the tensile zone, where the weight of the net in the triangle below the point of ball contact with the net is insufficient to totally arrest the ball, one or more flaps can rotate upwardly to trap the ball against the net, thereby preventing rebound of the ball. The flaps then drop back onto the tray and allow the ball to roll to the collection point.
BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS
The present invention overcomes the problems inherent with existing ball receiving nets. In particular, the present system arrests a ball on impact, and substantially prevents any rebound of the ball. Furthermore, the present system funnels the ball, on a gravity feed, to a collection point where it may be used immediately by a pitcher or fed into a ball tossing machine, such as disclosed in our allowed U.S. patent application Ser. No. 09/232,228 filed Jan. 19, 1999 for a Pneumatic Ball Tossing Device. These and other advantages of the present system are disclosed hereafter in conjunction with the description of various embodiments of the invention and the associated drawings.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE ILLUSTRATED EMBODIMENTS
FIG. 5B is a further detail of the net and flap of FIG. 4 after impact of the ball.
Referring now to the embodiment illustrated in FIG. 1, a return net device 10 comprises a net portion 11 and a collection tray portion 12. The net portion 11, has a net 13 suspended from a frame 14. The frame, which may comprise a plurality of interconnected tubular members, is arranged to be self-standing, and to accept for attachment the collection tray portion 12. A typical frame is approximately six feet square and the tray extends approximately four feet forwardly thereof
The net 13 is attached to the frame 14 such that the vertical portion is freely hanging, and the base portion lies on a collection tray 15. In a preferred embodiment, the net 13 is formed with an appropriate perimeter sleeve into which the frame members 14 may be socketed during assembly. The frame itself comprises interconnecting rod members which may be socketted together and which may be disassembled for ease of transport or storage. The net 13 is preferably a woven mesh or netting of synthetic material such as nylon. One product which has been successfully used by the applicant is a woven nylon mesh of one eighth inch spacing, having a weight of approximately one oz. per square foot. A larger mesh size would require a heavier mesh to retain the same weight distribution.
The collection tray portion 12 comprises the tray 15 which is connected to a tray frame 16. The key frame 16 is in turn connected to the front legs 17 of net frame 14, by means of pintal 18 on each leg and a cooperating gudgeon 19 on the tray frame 16. The back end of the tray 15 is connected to the back legs 20 of the net frame 14 by means of adjustable straps or equivalent adjustable connectors. When the device is assembled, the net 13 hangs vertically until it contacts the surface of the collection tray 15 at a contact line 21 extending generally horizontally from side to side of the tray. Below that contact line 21, the net overlies the surface of the tray 15, terminating at a front edge 22 extending transversely across the tray adjacent the front edge of the net frame 14, where it is attached, such as by sewing, to the tray 15.
The collection tray 15 is made preferably of a non-resilient fabric which may be of the type utilized for trampoline surfaces. One such fabric, HERCULITE, is a woven nylon fabric coated with a nylon facing, manufactured by Inland Plastics, model number IP-1850. The fabric has a weight of approximately 2½ oz. per square foot, although weight of up to 5 oz. may be effective in larger trays. The tray 15 has a forward triangular portion which is attached to the tray frame 16 and a rearward rectangular portion which extends within the net frame 14 to the back legs 20 of the net frame. The collection tray frame 16 is generally V-shaped, which each arm thereof comprising an upper member 23 and a lower member 24 connected at the apex by an apertured bracket plate 25. One or both of the arms may be pivotally connected to the apex plate 25, such as by bolts to permit the arms to be folded into a parallel position during transportation or storage of the device. The aperture in the apex plate 25 is sized to permit the passage of a baseball or the equivalent.
In a preferred embodiment of the device, the upper and lower members 23 and 24 of the collector arms 16 are not positioned vertically above one another, but the upper member 23 is inclined inwardly approximately twelve degrees from the lower member 24 to assist in retention of a returning ball within the tray 15.
The triangular front portion of the collection tray 15 is attached to the collection tray frame 16 such that outer fabric edges pass beneath the lower members 24 and are connected to the upper members 23 such as by a sleeve or socket in the fabric edge. In a preferred aspect of the device, at least one fabric edge is connected to the upper arm by an adjustable attachment such as velcro or adjustable straps, assisting in maintaining the tray in appropriate tension.
When the tray is installed for operation, it is inclined downwardly towards the apertured apex plate 25 at approximately an eight degree slope. It has been found that adequate tension in the tray is such that the fabric tray 15 does not sag sufficiently to prevent a ball from rolling on the eight degree slope to the aperture apex plate 25, while being loose enough to prevent a ball from rebounding when impacting the tray 15. The back rectangular portion of the tray 15 extends the eight degree slope through the net frame 14 to the point of attachment to the back legs 20 of the net frame 14.
As previously mentioned, and as may be seen in FIGS. 1 and 3, the net 13 is hung, preferably on the diagonal, such that the upper part of the net 13 hangs vertically from the frame 14 to a line of contact 21 against the inclined collection tray 15, which defines the base of the hanging portion. The net then inclines downwardly, overlying the surface of the tray 15 to the lower or termination edge 22 adjacent the front edge of the net frame 16. One or more rectangular flaps 26 are pivotally attached to the netting along the line of contact 21. These flaps may also be made from doubled layers of the HERCULITE material. The total length of the flaps should extend longitudinally across the net, and each flap should have a width (vertical dimension) sufficient that when flipped vertically, it will trap a ball struck or thrown into the tensile zone as defined hereafter.
The ball return net device of the present invention may be used to receive pitched or thrown balls, or to receive balls batted into the net from a ball tossing apparatus for batting training, such as illustrated as T in FIG. 1. The tossing apparatus may be powered by an air tank or pig P for portability of the training apparatus.
Operation of the Net
Prior art return nets have traditionally been installed with at least a minor degree of tension between their frame members. This tension creates a resistence in the net structure, causing a ball or other projectile to rebound from the net, or apparently to be thrown back towards the user. In contrast, the net of the present invention endeavours to eliminate rebound in the net structure. It is intended that the present net 13 of the device absorb the full kinetic energy of a propelled ball 27, causing the ball to stop and drop to the collection tray 15 below for return to a collection chute 28 at the apex plate 25. It is considered that the present net 13, hanging loosely (i.e. without tension) within its frame 14 allow the net material to move under the impact of a ball. It is further believed that, in the preferred operation of the net, a propelled ball is arrested by the weight of the net below the point of impact. In principal, a propelled ball forces the netting below the point of impact to move upwardly and rearwardly, thereby lifting a portion of the net below the ball. More importantly, in the present invention, the mesh of the net is strung on the diagonal. Consequently, it is believed that a propelled ball is arrested by the weight of an area of the net comprising a triangle with its apex at the point of impact. With the diagonal orientation of the mesh of the net 13, the weight in the triangular portion of the net below the point of impact is available to be lifted and to resist and overcome the kinetic energy of the ball. This is a substantially greater area and weight than if the net was strung orthogonally, and tension was therefore placed only in the generally narrow rectangular net portion immediately below the point of impact.
From the foregoing and as may be seen in FIG. 3, it would appear that a ball impacting in the upper portion of the net 13 such as at point A clearly has a large triangular area (ABC) below the point of impact, with sufficient net weight to arrest the ball before the net can extend into tension against its lower attachment edge 22. However, in the event that a ball is propelled into the lower or “tensile” portion of the net such as at point E, the triangular area (EFG) below the point of impact E is smaller, providing less net weight to arrest the ball, and consequently the risk of the net being taken into tension before the ball is fully stopped is greater. It will be appreciated that if the net goes into tension, the taught net will tend to cause the ball to rebound towards the batter or thrower. Tension, and consequent rebound, as may be expected, could cause the ball to be projected beyond the limits of the collection tray preventing the return of the ball to the collection chute 28. The present invention recognizes and addresses this problem by providing a plurality of flaps 26 at contact line 21 adjacent the bottom of the hanging portion of the net. These flaps 26, generally rectangular, with a long axis extending transversely across the net, are flexibly or pivotally attached to the net along their upper longitudinal edge at contact line 21.
Referring for FIGS. 5A and 5B, it may be seen that, prior to impact of a ball, the net is loosely suspended from the upper frame member, and extends downwardly to overlie a portion the collection tray 15 a distance from the contact line 21. The flaps 26 are attached to then such that the flaps also lie flat against the net portion supported by the collection tray. When a ball 27, travelling in the direction of arrow H, impacts the lower or tensile portion of net, the ball is resisted not only by the weight of the triangular area of the net below the point of impact (i.e. EFG), but is also resisted by the weight of the flaps. More importantly, however, under the influence of the impact of a ball on the net, the net is stressed, or tensioned, and drawn upwardly and rearwardly. This capability for upward movement is permitted by the novel length of netting between contact line 21 and the termination 22 whereby the net is not constrained at contact line 21. Applicant has observed that this upwards motion of the net causes the flaps 26 to pivot upwardly about their rearward point of attachment at 21, (i.e., to flip upwardly in the direction of arrow J) whereby the flaps operate to trap the ball between the net surface and e upwardly flipped flap member, thereby preventing any rebound. Once the ball 27 is shopped by a combination of net weight, and trapping by the flaps, the net relaxes, the flap drop down generally into their initial position on the tray 15, and the ball rolls loose over the net and flaps on to the collection tray and to the apex plate and chute 28. The flaps are generally stiff, and may be made of the same material as the collection tray surface.
Applicant has found that the net preferably may be positioned approximately four feet from the batter or pitcher's position, although much greater distances are possible in a throwing practice workout. In a device made by the inventor, the frame and net has a six foot width, with the net having a 60 inch vertical hanging portion and a 12 inch inclined portion resting against the surface of the collection tray 15. The net is formed of a diagonally strung mesh of approximately ⅛ inch mesh opening. The weight of the mesh is important. If the mesh is too light, there may be insufficient weight to resist the momentum of a ball, or larger flaps may be required to provide that additional weight. Although an eighth inch nylon mesh weighing one oz. per square foot has been found to be sufficient, a quarter inch mesh may be adequate if made of heavier strand. In a preferred embodiment of the invention, the inventor has utilized three flaps, each about 24 inches long and 12 inches wide. With this particular embodiment, a ball pitched more than 12 inches above the collection tray will be arrested by the weight of the net before the net is subjected to any significant tension. On the other hand, a ball impacting the net at less than 12 inches from the tray (i.e. in the tensile zone) will generally be too low for there to be sufficient net weight to absorb the momentum of the ball. Consequently, the impact of such a ball causes the net to be pushed back, upwardly, and into tension, whereby the flaps are flipped upwardly into a vertical orientation, thereby trapping the ball between the net and the flipped flap.
As previously noted, when the ball has been fully arrested, the net sags back to its initial position, the flaps drop and the ball is free to roll over the flap and collection tray to the collection point.
This invention has been described in terms of preferred embodiments, embracing certain sizes and materials for its component members. It is clear that variations in these described embodiments may be made by persons skilled in the art without departing from the inventive concept. It is intended that these variations be included within the scope of the appended claims.
