  • Patent number: 4070017
    Abstract: This invention relates to a device which may be conveniently installed in a desired location on a flat surface to permit practice shooting of a hockey puck in rapid succession to develop technique, coordination and strength. In an alternate embodiment, the invention also provides an indicator of the relative power with which the puck is shot. The device includes a hollow elongated track which may be fixed to a floor or the ground, a puck rotatably attached to a wheeled carriage and a spring loaded plunger fixed to one end of the track. The carriage is located inside the hollow track and rolls freely up and down the track carrying the puck in a horizontal plane slightly above the track. In use, the puck is shot along the track towards the plunger. When the puck strikes the plunger, the momentum of the puck and carriage compresses the spring which then expands to return the puck along the track to its original position.
