  • Publication number: 20050193489
    Abstract: In one embodiment, a support frame for a mattress is provided that can easily be broken down for storage and is easily constructed of a number of individual support members such that the size of the frame is easily variable. The frame includes a plurality of the individual support members that are arranged in an interlocking manner to form the support frame. Each support member has one or more interlocking features that permit each support member to mate with one or more other support member in an interlocking manner, with the support members being mated together by orientating the support members in a grid-like pattern with the features aligned. The two support members are then interlocked with respect to one another by inserting one support member into features of another support member such that the two support members are effectively interlocked with respect to one another, wherein each end of the support members includes a first locking feature.

The object projecting apparatus includes a spring loaded arm and a catch and release mechanism. The spring loaded arm can be shaped like a baseball bat or have a hand or shoe for hitting, throwing or kicking a ball. The catch and release mechanism preferably has several spaced apart movable tabs which selectively engage a catch tab o the arm. This allows the spring loaded arm to be releasably held at one of several positions so that when released the arm will strike or throw a ball at different forces, each force corresponding to the selected position.
