Abstract: An improved kickstand includes a resilient ball placed over the end of the kickstand leg. The ball has a bore corresponding in diameter to that of the kickstand leg. The ball is pressed onto the leg, with the latter penetrating the bore. Preferably, adhesive is placed within the bore to assist in securing the ball in place. An uncomplicated and inexpensive enlarged foot is thus provided to a kickstand for resisting the tendency of the kickstand leg to penetrate soft ground when bearing a portion of the weight of its associated bicycle or motorcycle. Advantages include the lack of projecting structure or gaps to entangle clothing, possessions, and vegetation when the kickstand is in the stowed position. Also, the enlarged foot requires no assembly when parking the vehicle, nor adjustment to accommodate the degree of inclination of the vehicle when parked.

Abstract: A rebound board for returning projected balls toward a person practicing a ball sport. The rebound board has a textured surface subdivided into squares, each square including a shallow pyramid including an array of four triangular walls. The pyramids project from a vertical plane, and each pyramid side inclines in a different direction so as to return a ball upwardly, downwardly, to the right, or to the left. Preferably, the rebound board is two faced, each face including pyramids of different heights. Two preferred ranges of inclination of sides, one range for each face, are 2 to 6 degrees from vertical, and 5 to 9 degrees from vertical. The invention may be attached to an environmental surface. Alternatively, a supporting frame is provided to enable the device to be erected and used on a playing court.
