  • Patent number: 6142544
    Abstract: A ball retrieval and storage device for retrieving balls of at least two different sizes comprising a wheeled container with rotatably attached handles attached thereto. The container is rollingly supported by two wheels on an axle, and includes a removable rack which when in place covers the container to ensure the contents remain within the container. When the removable rack is placed beneath the container, the entire device is elevated to prevent needless bending and stooping by the user. The device further comprises a retrieval opening which includes a fixed member and a movable member to provide a variable spacing between them depending on the size ball to be retrieved. The device is placed near a ball to be retrieved, tilted backward onto its wheels, rolled forward such that the ball is beneath the opening, then returned to its upright position in order to capture a ball.
