An apparatus for collecting tennis balls on a tennis court half comprising two ribs, one rib of which normally is located along each of two opposite edges of the court half. Drive means are arranged to displace the ribs toward each other while conveying balls on the court surface, thereby to collect the balls in a limited area, and then to return the ribs to their normal position. Control means are arranged to control the drive means. The control means are preferably actuatable by the player and suitably from a position located within the limited ball-collecting area. Preferably at least one of the ribs is arranged to be angled or curved in the horizontal plane, such that the concave side of the rib faces the other rib and suitably the ribs are brought to cross each other in order to diminish the ball-collecting area also perpendicularly to the displacement direction of the ribs. |
