Abstract:
A frame is mounted on wheels for easy transport of the device from place to place on a practice field. The frame has three pads in a line simulating offensive interior linemen. When the right-hand pad is struck by a player and reciprocated backward, a mechanism causes a latch to be tripped that results in a further pad behind the right-hand pad pivoting under spring bias to a position lateral of and slightly behind the right-hand pad where the further pad may be struck by the player. When the further pad is struck by the player, it is pushed back into a cocked position where it remains until the right-hand pad is again struck from the front. When the left-hand pad is struck from the front, the same result occurs symmetrically. On the rear of the device, two to three additional pads are provided that depend downwardly from inverted L-shaped arms pivotably mounted on the frame of the inventive device.
