Publication number: 20210245026Abstract: The present invention is directed to a climbing wall comprising one or more expandable climbing panels. The expandable climbing panel may be configured so that changing the angle of a portion of the climbing wall in one direction causes the climbing panel to expand, such that the panel provides an increased climbing surface area, and changing the angle of the portion of the climbing wall in the other direction causes the climbing panel to contract, such that the panel provides a reduced climbing surface area. By hingedly attaching the expandable climbing panel to first and second wall portions, at least one of which is adjustable to a plurality of angles, a climbing wall that can be brought into a variety of different configurations, e.g. at the touch of a button, is produced.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 4, 2021Publication date: August 12, 2021Inventors: Timothy S.

Publication number: 20210245027Abstract: A tennis-stroke trainer device is an apparatus that allows a user to perform various tennis strokes repetitively. The apparatus includes a frame, a training ball, a pair of length-adjustable fasteners, and an elastic cord. The frame offset and rotates the training ball around a post. The post is preferably a tennis post. The frame includes a U-shaped bracket, a cantilever arm, a counterfort arm, and a hook. The U-shaped bracket offsets and mounts both the cantilever arm and the counterfort arm with the post. The hook stretches the elastic cord along the cantilever arm. The training ball is preferably a large foam ball and serves as a target for the user. The pair of length-adjustable fasteners mounts the U-shaped bracket with the desired post. The elastic cord retracts the cantilever arm and the counterfort arm, and consequently the training ball after the training ball has been hit by the user.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 9, 2021Publication date: August 12, 2021Inventor: Paul Swartwood

Publication number: 20210245028Abstract: An apparatus includes a pair of support members, a cable, a rolling mechanism, a tackling bag and a pulley device. The pair of support members are fixedly coupled to a surface. The cable is attached to and extends between the pair of support members. The rolling mechanism is connected to the cable and configured to traverse the cable from a first end of the cable toward a second end of the cable. The tackling bag is attached to the rolling mechanism and configured to be propelled from one of the pair of support members toward the other of the pair of support members. The pulley device is coupled to the rolling mechanism and attached to the tackling bag. The pulley device is separated from the cable when the tackling bag is propelled from the one of the pair of support members toward the other of the pair of support members.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 11, 2020Publication date: August 12, 2021Applicant: Athletic Technologies LLCInventor: Martin Boisture

Publication number: 20210245029Abstract: A golf swing speed trainer for releasable attachment via a retainer to a shaft sleeve of a golf club shaft, including a head, a sleeve, and a weighting system. The trainer provides a highly customizable golf swing speed trainer that more accurately mimics the feel of a real club as a golfer works to increase their swing speed, without introducing any new bad habits. It allows a golfer to use their “gamer” shaft and grip during speed training, thereby increasing the user's familiarity with the trainer, which should result not only in increased swing speed but also improved consistency and accuracy.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 29, 2021Publication date: August 12, 2021Inventor: Matthew Snyder

Publication number: 20210245030Abstract: A training device and methods of using the device are described to train athletes to reduce the incidence of certain types of injuries. The device and methods promote a reduction in knee vulgus and hip internal rotation during typical athletic movements such as jumping, landing, and lateral bounding. The device provides a guide element that serves as a reference line providing feedback to a user on their movements. A user may adjust their joint positions during the movements based upon self-monitoring or feedback from a trainer who observes the user executing movements while wearing the device. The guide element may provide feedback on knee positioning in two axes of movement.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 5, 2021Publication date: August 12, 2021Inventor: James Hackney

Publication number: 20210245031Abstract: A human-machine interaction vehicle includes a vehicle body and a pair of wheels coupled with the vehicle body. The vehicle body includes a support frame, at least one pedal disposed on the support frame, a first position sensor, and a controller. The support frame is rotatably connected to the wheels. The first position sensor is configured to detect attitude information of the two pedals relative to the support frame. The actuation device drives the wheels to rotate based on the attitude information. The human-machine interaction vehicle includes a support frame, and the pedal is arranged on the support frame independently.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 26, 2021Publication date: August 12, 2021Applicant: HANGZHOU CHIC INTELLIGENT TECHNOLOGY CO., LTDInventor: Jiawei YING
