[0032] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the embodiments described are only some embodiments of the present invention, not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making creative efforts are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0033] See also Figure 1-Figure 7 As shown, a baseball or softball cushioning hitting stand comprises a base 1, an intermediate rod 2, a spring 3, a telescopic rod device, a spring sleeve 5 and a supporting portion 6.

[0034] The base 1 has a threaded hole 11 in the center. The shape of the base is not limited and can be square, truncated cone, or other shapes. One end of the base can have a strip hole 12. The area between the strip hole 12 and the nearest edge of the base forms a handle 13 for easy carrying.

[0035] One end of the intermediate rod 2 is screwed into the threaded hole 11 ; that is, one end of the intermediate rod 1 is provided with an external thread 21 , and the external thread 21 at one end of the intermediate rod is spirally screwed into the threaded hole 11 .

[0036] One end of the spring 3 is fixed to the other end of the middle rod. There are many ways to fix it, including but not limited to welding, clamping, etc.

[0037] The telescopic rod device comprises a multi-stage telescopic rod, and one end of the telescopic rod device is fixed to the other end of the spring.

[0038] The spring sleeve 5 is made of plastic and has an accommodating space inside. One end of the spring sleeve is sleeved with the middle rod 2, and the other end of the spring sleeve is sleeved with the telescopic rod device. The spring is completely accommodated in the accommodating space of the spring sleeve.

[0039] The holding portion 6 is made of rubber material, one end of which is fixed to the other end of the telescopic rod device, and the other end of the holding portion has an opening for holding a baseball or softball.

[0040] The telescopic rod device can include a single-stage telescopic rod, or a second-stage, third-stage, or fourth-stage telescopic rod, and so on. As a specific embodiment, the telescopic rod device of this embodiment includes a base rod 41, a first-stage telescopic rod 42, and a second-stage telescopic rod 43. The first-stage telescopic rod 42 is inserted into the base rod 41 and can be extended and retracted up and down within the base rod 41; the second-stage telescopic rod 43 is inserted into the first-stage telescopic rod 42 and can be extended and retracted up and down within the first-stage telescopic rod 42; the base rod 41 is fixed to the spring 3 and is sleeved by the spring sleeve 5; the second-stage telescopic rod 43 is fixed to the support portion 6. Generally, the more stages of telescopic rods there are, the wider the range of height adjustment can be; however, the telescopic rods at the last stage are thinner. In this embodiment, a two-stage telescopic rod device is sufficient, namely, a first-stage telescopic rod and a second-stage telescopic rod.

[0041] In one embodiment, the support portion 6 comprises a rubber sheet 61, which rotates around the top of the second-stage telescopic rod to form an inverted cone. The inverted cone opening is used to support the baseball or softball. The bottom of the rubber sheet is clipped onto the top of the second-stage telescopic rod 43 via a rubber sleeve 7. This allows for a custom support portion made from rubber sheets, which is also easy to manufacture. The resulting rubber support portion exhibits high impact resistance.

[0042] As a specific embodiment, a first plastic sleeve 8 is sleeved on the top end of the bottom rod 41. The function of the first plastic sleeve is to play a role of decoration and position marking.

[0043] Furthermore, a second plastic sleeve 9 is sleeved on the top of the first telescopic rod 42. The second plastic sleeve not only serves as a decoration and position mark, but also facilitates the hand to hold the second plastic sleeve to adjust the height of the first telescopic rod up and down.

[0044] The working process of the baseball and softball cushioning tee under a specific embodiment is as follows:

[0045] The multi-stage telescopic rod is adjusted up and down according to actual needs so that the entire baseball and softball cushioning hitting stand has an appropriate required height; for example, the height of the first stage telescopic rod and / or the height of the second stage telescopic rod is adjusted.

[0046] Place the baseball or softball on the opening of the holding portion. The diameter of the baseball or softball should be larger than the opening.

[0047] Then the players or training staff hold the bat and hit the baseball.

[0048] If the supporting part is accidentally hit, the telescopic rod will swing left and right under the action of the spring and the spring sleeve, and gradually return to a static state.

[0049] In this way, by arranging the telescopic rod device, the up and down height adjustment function of the baseball and softball buffer hitting seat is realized; by directly fixing one end of the spring to the middle rod and the other end of the spring to the telescopic rod device, the elastic reset and shock absorption and buffering functions of the spring are realized, and the amplitude of the shaking of the telescopic rod device is reduced by arranging the spring sleeve, and the spring sleeve increases the stability of the connection among the middle rod, the spring and the telescopic rod device.

[0050] It should be noted that the serial numbers first, second, etc. in this specification are for the purpose of distinguishing the components and do not imply a sequence or order, nor do they express or imply relative importance, such as the first plastic sleeve and the second plastic sleeve.

[0051] The series of detailed descriptions listed above are only specific descriptions of feasible embodiments of the present invention. They are not intended to limit the scope of protection of the present invention. Any equivalent embodiments or changes that do not deviate from the technical spirit of the present invention should be included in the scope of protection of the present invention.
