Device for Launching a Ball

Abstract

A ball launching device has a housing that defines a cavity, a ball support, an actuator, an energy source, and a control unit. The actuator is supported by the housing, is disposed within the cavity, and is interconnected with the ball support. The actuator is operable to displace the ball support a lower position to a raised position, using energy supplied from the energy source. The control unit is in communication with the actuator, and is operable to control the supply of energy to the actuator. The device is configured to apply a driving force to the ball support that acts to displace the ball support from the lowered position towards the raised position. 20 26 20 19 73 16 M ar 2 02 6 2 0 2 6 2 0 1 9 7 3 1 6 M a r 2 0 2 6 2 0 2 6 2 0 1 9 7 3 1 6 M a r 2 0 2 6 – 2 / 11 – Figure 2 A FG RW RC 10 28 1426 16G F A 10 O 0 26 14 20 26 20 19 73 16 M ar 2 02 6 M a r 2 0 2 6 ( I I 2 0 2 6 2 0 1 9 7 3 1 6 F G A 1 0 O O O .
