Abstract: A sporting base includes a main base body, a securing seat, and a ground-insertable securing unit. The main base body includes a shock-absorbing core that has a bottom surface formed with an upwardly-extending inserting hole. The securing seat is disposed fittingly and separably into the inserting hole of the main base body, and is configured to be placed stably on the ground. The securing unit is for securing the securing seat to the ground.

Abstract: A quick release base system that includes a base platform and a removable base. The base platform includes a bottom platform surface and a top platform surface. The top platform surface is positioned above the bottom platform surface. The top platform surface includes platform prongs. The platform prongs are substantially perpendicular to the top platform surface and extend away from the top platform surface and away from the bottom platform surface. The removable base rests on top of the base platform, and the removable base includes an interior base surface. The interior base surface includes base prongs. The base prongs are substantially perpendicular to the interior base surface and extend away from the interior base, and the platform prongs interact with the base prongs to create a lateral restraining force between the base platform and the removable base.

Abstract: A safety baseball base includes a base with a bottom recess and a bottom stem in the bottom recess, an anchor embedded in the ground in a baseball field, a positioning member inserted into the anchor, a flexible mounting plate affixed to the positioning member and having recessed holes on the top side, and a flexible coupling member fitted into the bottom recess around the bottom stem and affixed to the base and having a plurality of bottom locating blocks respectively engaged into the recessed holes of the flexible mounting plate to secure the base to the flexible mounting plate for allowing disconnection of the base from the flexible mounting plate upon an impact to avoid injuries when a player is sliding into the base.

Abstract: This patent application is for a baseball and softball home plate system generally, and more specifically a home plate system with changeable top plate sections and an up-tight bevel.

Abstract: This patent application is for a baseball and softball safety base systems generally, and more specifically a double first base system with a removable secondary side base portion.

Abstract: The present invention is a Golf learning, training, practice device utilizing a Magnetic Module, Swing Plate, Impact Form, and Ball Holder. The Magnetic Module is a shallow case enclosing a plurality of magnets, inserted flush with earth ground, or a board. The Swing Plate is a round or elongated disk with a plurality of apertures from left side to right, having printed location guides for ball or target positioning, used by laying selected aperture onto Magnetic Module. The Impact Form of a shape, of resilient material, or fabric becoming a target for practice golf swing. The Ball Holder, a form or shape, of resilient material, being concave, or cylindrical on top, to support a real, or practice golf ball. The selected aperture of Swing Plate, magnetically attracted to Magnetic Module, will also, within the same aperture, attract either Impact Form or Ball Holder. This device offers ball placement choices, swing approaches, orientation, and guidance, for practice swings and actual strokes with a golf ball.

Abstract: A breakaway safety base for use in baseball, softball, and other athletic base running games generally comprises a plate of metal or other suitable material, which is permanently secured to the underside of the base. The plate has a periphery with a plurality of downwardly turned edges, which engage the underlying ground. Generally vertical force on the base, as by a fielder or runner stepping on the base, results in the edges engaging the underlying surface more firmly, thereby resisting lateral displacement of the base. However, generally horizontal force on the base, as by a runner sliding into the base, allows the base to be horizontally displaced. This horizontal displacement of the base precludes any serious injury to the sliding base runner. The present breakaway safety base does not require any permanent anchor or other mating component to be permanently set or driven into the surface, thereby allowing the present safety base to be used to define any desirable base paths in any suitable playing field.

Abstract: A ground support structure and a base system are provided in which the ground support structure is configured to have a recessed area disposed inside a peripheral rim, into which a base or a drag plate may be inserted and fastened. The associated base has a principal lower surface and a ground support-engaging lower protrusion that has a fastener corresponding to at least one fastener on an athletic device mounting surface disposed in the recess of the ground support structure. The drag plate is configured to substantially fill the entire area of the recess, and to provide an upper planar surface that is essentially flush with the peripheral rim on the ground support structure.
