AI Technical Summary

Benefits of technology

The present patent describes a new hockey training device that has an inverted U-shaped frame with a resilient layer on the outer surface of one side. The device has an open ended inner channel that allows for the rebounding of hockey pucks. The method of constructing the device involves fabricating the frame, powder coating it, and then using an adhesive to secure the resilient layer to the frame. The technical effect of this design is to create a training device that offers better resistance to impacts and reduces the risk of injury during training sessions.

Problems solved by technology

The Klanow device has several disadvantageous features.
For example, it does not have an open ended inner channel; it cannot be inverted to slide easily and smoothly on the ice surface; and it is relatively difficult and expensive to construct.

Embodiment Construction

[0018]In FIGS. 1 and 2, the hockey training device 2 has an elongated frame 4 with an inverted U-shaped cross section when the device is in an upright position. The frame 4 has a base 6 and two sides 8. Each of the sides 8 has an inner surface 10 and an outer surface 12. A layer of resilient material 14 is affixed to the outer surface 12 of at least one of the two sides 8. Preferably, the layer of resilient material 14 is affixed to the outer surface 12 of both sides 8. The device has an open ended inner channel 16 extending between the two sides 8. The inner channel 16 is sufficiently large for a hockey puck (not shown) to be passed through the inner channel. The base has at least two picks 18 extending from a lower edge 20 of each side 8. As best shown in FIG. 2, there are four picks 18, two on each side 8, one of which is circled. The picks 18 have sharp points to penetrate an ice surface 22 to maintain the device in a fixed position on the ice surface when the device is in the u...

Abstract

A hockey training device has an elongated frame with an inverted U-shaped cross-section when the device is in an upright position. The frame has a base and two sides extending downward from the base. A layer of resilient material is affixed to an outer surface of each of the two sides. The device has an open ended inner channel extending longitudinally between the two sides. A cap is affixed to an outer surface of the base. A method of construction is provided.

Description

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTIONField of the Invention[0001]This invention relates to a hockey training device and method of constructing the device. The training device can be used to rebound hockey passes and to cause passes to pass through the device.Description of the Prior Art[0002]Klanow et al Canadian Application No. 2,900,802 was published on Feb. 18, 2016 and describes a rebound device to facilitate hockey training. The Klanow device has several disadvantageous features. For example, it does not have an open ended inner channel; it cannot be inverted to slide easily and smoothly on the ice surface; and it is relatively difficult and expensive to construct.SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION[0003]A hockey training device comprises an elongated frame having an inverted U-shaped cross-section when the device is in an upright position. The frame has a base and two sides extending downward from the base. The two sides each have an inner surface and an outer surface and a layer of resilient mate...
