TRAINING DEVICE

摘要

A training device providing positive feedback teaching the proper execution of a technique such as shooting a basketball, producing a proper golf swing as well as a proper baseball or softball swing. A flexible band of material encircles a portion of each of an individual's arms. Each of the bands includes a V-shaped arm attached to the band having a free end. Located at the free end of each of the V-shaped arms is a magnetic device in the form of a magnet or ferromagnetic body. The free end of both of the arms will remained attached to one another via magnetic attraction when the particular sports technique is properly practiced. However, improper practice of that particular sports technique results in the free ends becoming disengaged from one another.

主权项

1. A training device for an individual, comprising:
a first section having an outer surface; a first NT-shaped arm including a first pair of elongated members each having a first end and a second end, said first end of each elongated member of said first pair of elongated members spaced apart from each other and secured to the outer surface of the first section, each of said first pair of elongated members angled toward one another as they extend from the first section until they meet at a first central portion proximate to said second end of said first pair of elongated members, forming the first V-shaped arm with a first free end; a second section having an outer surface; a second V-shaped arm including a pair of second elongated members each having a first end and a second end, said first end of each elongated member of said second pair of elongated members spaced apart from each other and secured to the outer surface of the second section, each of said second pair of elongated members angled toward one another as they extend from the second section until they meet at a second central portion proximate to said second end of said second pair of elongated members, forming the second V-shaped arm with a free end; a first magnetic device secured to said first free end; a second magnetic device secured to said second free end; wherein, the engagement of said first magnetic device to said second magnetic device provides positive feedback to the individual when a predetermined force applied to said first free end and said second free end is greater than the magnetic attraction between said first and second magnetic devices, enabling said first free end and said second free end to become separated from one another.
