Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 12
Claim 1
Independent Claim
158 words
Swing training apparatus for perfecting timing of a device to be swung by a user thereof comprising: A. a weighted member; B. means engaging said weighted member to direct said member through a pre-determined path as said device is swung; C. a first flexible cord secured at one end, passing through said weighted member and anchored at the other end to said device for positioning said device in the proper attitude at that point in a swing where maximum speed of said device is attained; D. a second flexible cord secured at one end, passing through said device and anchored to said weighted member for applying a force to said device during the power portion of a swing to accelerate said device through the point of desired maximum speed thereof; and E. said first and second cords effectively releasing said device during that portion of said swing where maximum speed is attained while remaining in physical engagement therewith.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
158 words
Swing training apparatus for perfecting timing of a device to be swung by a user thereof comprising: A. a weighted member; B. means engaging said weighted member to direct said member through a pre-determined path as said device is swung; C. a first flexible cord secured at one end, passing through said weighted member and anchored at the other end to said device for positioning said device in the proper attitude at that point in a swing where maximum speed of said device is attained; D. a second flexible cord secured at one end, passing through said device and anchored to said weighted member for applying a force to said device during the power portion of a swing to accelerate said device through the point of desired maximum speed thereof; and E. said first and second cords effectively releasing said device during that portion of said swing where maximum speed is attained while remaining in physical engagement therewith.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
27 words
Swing Training Apparatus as defined in claim 1 wherein said first and second cords are secured at said one end to the shoulder area of said user.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
41 words
Swing Training Apparatus as defined in claim 2 which further includes stop means allowing a pre-determined axial movement of said cords between first and second positions thereby to cause movement of said shoulders between proper impact and top of backswing positions.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
55 words
Swing training apparatus as defined in claim 1 wherein said predetermined path directing means is a rod, means pivotally supporting said rod, said weighted member being affixed to said rod at a point displaced from the pivoted support thereof, ring means affixed to said rod, and said first flexible cord passing through said ring means.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
44 words
Swing Training Apparatus as defined in claim 1 wherein said second and first flexible cords are taut at the beginning and end respectively of that portion of the swing where maximum speed of said device is attained and are both slack through said portion.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim
43 words
Swing Training Apparatus as defined in claim 1 wherein said one end of said first and second flexible cords are secured at points displaced from each other at least during that portion of said swing when maximum speed of said device is attained.
Claim 8
Dependent Claim
35 words
Swing Training Apparatus as defined in claim 6 which further includes first and second securing members, said one end of said first and second cords being affixed to said first and second securing means respectively.
Claim 9
Dependent Claim
107 words
Swing Training Apparatus for perfecting timing of the swing of a device to be swung by a user thereof comprising: A. a weighted member; B. means engaging said weighted member to direct said member through a pre-determined path as said device is swung; C. a flexible cord; D. means for anchoring one end of said cord; E. means for attaching the other end of said cord to said weighted member; and F. means for slidably attaching said cord, intermediate the ends thereof, to said device to be swung, whereby upon the user swinging said device, said weighted member traverses at least a portion of said pre-determined path.
Claim 10
Dependent Claim
107 words
Swing Training Apparatus for perfecting timing of the swing of a device to be swung by a user thereof comprising: A. a weighted member; B. means engaging said weighted member to direct said member through a pre-determined path as said device is swung; C. a flexible cord; D. means for anchoring one end of said cord; E. means for attaching the other end of said cord to said weighted member; and F. means for slidably attaching said cord, intermediate the ends thereof, to said device to be swung, whereby upon the user swinging said device, said weighted member traverses at least a portion of said pre-determined path.
Claim 11
Dependent Claim
26 words
Swing Training Apparatus as defined in claim 8 wherein said path determining means is an arcuate member adjustably disposed to accommodate users of varying physical sizes.
Claim 12
Dependent Claim
21 words
Swing Training Apparatus as defined in claim 9 wherein said weighted member is a slider slidably disposed relatively said arcuate member.
