Abstract
Abstract This device is primarily a pair of spaced apart, electrically connected stands, each being provided with electrical circuitry switch boxes. Each of the switch boxes is provided with an external plunger; the plunger being connected to the electrical circuitry and acting as a switch. A timer is connected to the electrical circuitry connecting the plungers such that the time elapse required for a person to activate the timer by touching the plunger on one switch box and stop the timer by touching the plunger on the other switch box will be recorded.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 2
Claim 1
Independent Claim
200 words
A reaction-speed training device comprising first and second spaced apart substantially vertical support stands, said first stand having secured thereto a first electrical switch box having a first user actuated contact switch connected thereto; said second stand having secured thereto a second electrical switch box and a second user actuated contact switch connected thereto; timing means; said timing means being electrically connected to each of said user actuated contact switches such that said timer will be started when said first user actuated contact switch is actuated by a user and will be stopped when said second user actuated contact switch is actuated by the same said user to thereby indicate the time elapse between actuation of said first and second contact switches by said user; said second switch box having an elongated, spring biased substantially horizontally extending plunger mounted thereon, said second contact switch being mounted adjacent one end of said plunger such that said one end will engage said switch when said plunger is moved in the direction thereof, said plunger having mounted on its opposite end an enlarged resilient target pad for striking by a user to move said plunger one end into contact with said second switch.
