Patent number: 8317641Abstract: A football lacing system having a molded backbone with a series of spaced finger grooves separated by resilient ridges to insure proper hand placement for throwing a spiral pass. The backbone is preferably molded of thermal plastic rubber and is secured over the bladder seam of the exterior football covering by lacing that extends between paired lace holes along the length of the bladder seam.Type: GrantFiled: September 27, 2010Date of Patent: November 27, 2012Assignee: Franklin Sports, IncInventors: Daniel J Lowinger, Charles T Quinn

Patent number: 8231484Abstract: A variable inertia bat weight training aid having a sleeve with radially divided, elongate pockets in which are permanently captured a plurality of weights. One end of the sleeve has a diameter sufficient to receive the barrel of a baseball bat but the other end of the sleeve includes a restricting band having a diameter sufficient to receive the handle of the bat but insufficient to pass over the barrel of the bat. Each weight within an associate pocket may be adjustably positioned along the length of the sleeve and secured in place by a restraining strap in order to vary the inertial resistance of the baseball bat and the perceived weight a batter experiences for warm-up and strength training exercises.Type: GrantFiled: May 4, 2010Date of Patent: July 31, 2012Assignee: Franklin Sports, Inc.Inventor: Charles T Quinn

Patent number: 8167387Abstract: A portable and collapsible storage container formed of rigid, interconnected panels which, when fully assembled, form a self-standing, integrally strong unit and, when collapsed, fold together to occupy a minimal volumetric space. Opposed side walls are hingedly connected to a front frame, and opposed end walls are hingedly connected to a rear wall panel, both to fold inwardly in interlocking fashion such that the side walls overlie the rear panel and the end walls overlie the side walls within the region bounded by the front frame. The storage container may optionally include a door or lid for closure which may be fitted with a lock if desirable. The side walls include means for supporting a removable interior panel to prevent the side walls from folding inwardly which, in turn, prevent the end walls from folding inwardly.Type: GrantFiled: October 21, 2008Date of Patent: May 1, 2012Assignee: Franklin Sports, Inc.Inventor: Charles T Quinn

Patent number: 8002648Abstract: A tee ball stand with an adjustable length ball support stanchion having an anchor connection fitting on the lower end thereof, and a ground penetrating corkscrew anchor equipped with a stanchion connection fitting on the upper end thereof. The anchor connection fitting of the stanchion may be frictionally coupled to the stanchion connection fitting to hold the stanchion in an upright orientation to receive a ball on the upper end thereof. The ground penetrating corkscrew anchor prevents displacement of the tee ball stand in the event the stanchion is struck by an errant bat swing.Type: GrantFiled: February 23, 2010Date of Patent: August 23, 2011Assignee: Franklin Sports, IncInventors: Charles T Quinn, Joseph B Bowman

Patent number: 7464999Abstract: A portable and collapsible storage locker formed of rigid, interconnected panels which, when fully assembled, form a self-standing, integrally strong unit and, when collapsed, fold together to occupy a minimal volumetric space. Opposed side walls are hingedly connected to a front frame, and opposed end walls are hingedly connected to a rear wall panel, both to fold inwardly in interlocking fashion such that the side walls overlie the rear panel and the end walls overlie the side walls within the region bounded by the front frame. The storage locker may optionally include a full or partial height door hinged to the front frame. The door may also include a lock if desirable. The side walls include means for supporting one or more shelves for dividing the interior space of the assembled locker and the shelves may be removable or optionally hinged to a side wall panel.Type: GrantFiled: January 29, 2007Date of Patent: December 16, 2008Assignee: Franklin Sports, Inc.Inventor: Charles T.
