Abstract: A soccer training device that permits soccer kicking practice from one or more kicking locations and includes a generally vertical screen that is adapted to receive and absorb the kinetic energy of the soccer balls kicked into the screen. A trough is located immediately below the screen and collects the soccer balls dropping therefrom. The trough extends the length of and is generally parallel to the screen and is sloped toward a trough discharge. A soccer ball conveyor receives the soccer balls from the trough discharge and conveys the soccer balls to the kicking location of the kicking area. The training device reliably and consistently returns the soccer balls to the kicker such that, a high speed, highly repetitive soccer kicking exercise can be practiced.

Abstract: A line striper with optical sighting means, and guide line marking devices adapted to be used simultaneously with the application of a paint stripe. The line striper has a forward extending guide bar for direct sighting on the surface to be marked, as well as an optical sighting means for aligning the line striper on a distant fixed point for application of a guide line. Adjustable length booms mounted transverse to the line striper allow application of guide lines a distance removed from the paint spray nozzle. The line striper has multiple paint reservoir paint storage capability to facilitate application of different color paints.
