Apparatus and device used in marking a batter's box

摘要

A collapsible device used in marking the batter's box on a playing surface of a baseball field. The device uses a first frame half and a second frame half. Each frame half has an elongated side with first and second ends. A first arm with an inwardly disposed end is pivotally connected to the first end of the elongated side and an outwardly disposable end that is movable between an extended position and a closed position located against the elongated side. A second arm with an inwardly disposed end is pivotally connected to the second end of the elongated side and an outwardly disposable end that is movable between an extended position and a closed position that is located against the elongated side. A first hinge pivotally connects the outwardly disposable end of the first arm of the first frame half to the outwardly disposable end of the first arm of the second frame half. A second hinge pivotally connects the outwardly disposable end of the second arm of the first frame half to the outwardly disposable end of the second arm of the second frame half so that the first and second arms of the first and second frame halves are movable to the closed position. A storage container supports the collapsible device while in the collapsed position.
