Thrower's circle form

Abstract

A form for constructing a thrower's circle includes a pair of half sections. Each half section has an upper surface and a base surface and two full length members and two half length members. The full length members and the half length members are connected together substantially at right angles to form a rectangle with four corners. A corner brace is located in each of the four corners. An inside cross member and an outside cross member extend between the half length members and are generally parallel to the full length members. A pair of semi-circles, each having substantially the same diameter that is larger than the length of the half length members and less than the length of the full length members. Means are provided for securing the half sections together so that the semi-circles form a full circle. Tubes extend from the circle toward the base to drain water from with in the circle.

Description

CROSS-REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATION[0001]This patent application claims the benefit of an earlier filing date under 35 USC 119(e) of a Provisional Patent Application, filed in the United States Patent and Trademark Office on Mar. 4, 2005 and entitled Forms for Constructing Thrower's Circle and being Provisional Patent Application No. 60 / 659376.BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION[0002]1. Field of the Invention[0003]This invention relates to a form for constructing player's circle as used in field sports and, more specifically, for a form for constructing a circle for the throwing of hammers and shot put and a form for throwing discus.[0004]2. Prior Art[0005]In the field of sports, the throwing of either hammer or shot put or throwing discus, the player throws from a circular area in a specific location. In the past, such circular areas for throwing have been constructed in parts. Only too frequently, the result was an inaccurate product. Of even greater significance, such construction was...

AI Technical Summary

Benefits of technology

"The patent describes a form for creating a thrower's circle, which is used in track and field events. The form is made up of two half sections, each with an upper surface and a base surface. There are also two semi-circles that are attached to the half sections. These semi-circles have the same diameter. The half sections are secured together with the two semi-circles to form a full circle. The technical effect of this invention is to provide a precise and reliable tool for training and measuring thrower's circles, which can help improve the accuracy of track and field events."

Problems solved by technology

Only too frequently, the result was an inaccurate product.

Of even greater significance, such construction was labor intensive and thus time consuming and worst of all, expensive.
