  • Patent number: 6209877
    Abstract: An improved ball rebound device which will deliver a playground type ball such as a soccer ball, basketball, or kick ball which is propelled against the device, back to the user with surprising speed and distance. This ball rebound device utilizes a series of monofilament nylon elastic cords which are independently stung back and forth in a basket-weave fashion within a rectangular frame as a tennis racket is strung. This enables the device to more efficiently convert the kinetic energy of the ball into a powerful rebound back to the user. One embodiment of the device has within its frame the capability for adjustment of the tension of the cords to keep them operating at the desired tension. Another embodiment of the device has the capability for its frame to be adjustably oriented at various angles to the user to better suit the individual practice needs of the user.
