  • Patent number: 5575478
    Abstract: A gaming apparatus which utilizes a wall into which is to be propelled by a human user a ball which is to be rebounded proximate to the user. Formed within the contact surface of the wall are a plurality of hiatuses located in a spaced-apart manner whose function are when struck by the ball to rebound the ball at various directions while still being proximate to the user. Mounted within the wall are a plurality of lenses with there being a light mounted within each lens. Electrically connected to each light is an accelerometer with there being a separate accelerometer mounted on each lens. The accelerometers and lights are electrically connected to a microprocessor which is to be preprogrammed with a particular game that is to be played by the user.

  • Patent number: 5205564
    Abstract: A ball catching net apparatus which has a back net from which extends, in a parallel relationship, sidewalls with a top wall interconnecting between the parallel sidewalls. The top wall, sidewalls and the back wall define a ball confining area. Within this ball confining area is located a pair of downwardly extending nets which are mounted on a mounting frame. Each of the downwardly extending nets can be used separately or together in order to achieve maximum absorption of the energy from the ball that is being directed into these nets. The mounting frame is to be pivotable between an extended position and a retracted position with the retracted position being located directly against the back net. Both of the downwardly extending nets are to be rolled up, each on a roller, into a storing position on the mounting frame.
