Benefits of technology

[0007]A primary objective of the present invention is to provide a ball hitting practice device which improves the drawbacks of the conventional ball hitting practice devices by providing adjustable post and cup.

Problems solved by technology

However, the ball comes from different heights and angles in real games so that the conventional ball hitting practice device cannot meet requirements of the users.
Besides, the length of the post cannot be adjusted and needs to be improved.
The user can only choose to connect or not connect the extension rod 40 to adjust the length of the post and this adjustment range is too narrow and cannot fit to different users' needs.
Nevertheless, the ball hitting practice device includes too many parts and spends a lot of time to assemble or manufacture.

Embodiment Construction

[0018]With reference to the drawings and in particular to FIGS. 1 and 2, the ball hitting practice device in accordance with the present invention comprises a base member 5, a post 7 on the base member 5, a positioning cap 6 connected to the underside of the base member 5 so as to be connect the base member 5 and the post 7.

[0019]Referring to FIGS. 2 and 3, the base member 5 has a reception portion 50 extending from a top thereof and a spherical recess 51 is defined in an underside of the reception portion 50. A passage 52 is defined through the reception portion 50 and communicates with the spherical recess 51. The base member 5 is made to have a shape the same as a base plate in a baseball or softball game. As shown in FIG. 2A, a stepped recess 53 is defined around the spherical recess 51 in the base member 5 and a plurality of fixing holes 54 are defined in a surface of the stepped recess 53. The inner diameter of the stepped recess 53 is larger than the inner diameter of the pas...

Abstract

A ball hitting practice device includes a base member having a reception portion on a top thereof and a spherical recess is defined in an underside of the reception portion. A passage is defined through the reception portion and communicates with the spherical recess. A post can be a single post or composed of multiple sections. The post has a base part at a lower end thereof and a cup is connected to a top of the post. The base part is matched with the spherical recess and a diameter of the post is smaller than an inner diameter of the passage. The post extends through the passage and a top of the base part is in contact with an inner surface of the spherical recess. A positioning cap is fixed to the underside of the base member so as to position the base part. A ball is put on the cup and the user hits the ball to practice hitting skills.

Description

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION[0001]1. Field of the Invention[0002]The present invention relates generally to a ball hitting practice device which includes a post on a base member and a ball is supported on the post which can be adjusted its angle relative to the base member[0003]2. The Prior Arts[0004]A baseball or softball hitting practice device in the market includes a base member with a post on the base member and a ball can be held on the top of the post so that the user hits the ball to practice hitting skill. The post is perpendicular to the base member so that the user can only hit the ball at the fixed position. However, the ball comes from different heights and angles in real games so that the conventional ball hitting practice device cannot meet requirements of the users. Besides, the length of the post cannot be adjusted and needs to be improved.[0005]U.S. Pat. No. 6,616,554 discloses a ball hitting practice device which is disclosed in FIG. 5 and includes a base member 10...
