Abstract:

A device that is designed to assist a basketball player with shooting practice by controllably dispensing multiple basketballs, one at a time, to the player. A vertical housing with an open top is used to store the basketballs one on top of the other and dispense the balls to the player. The housing has wheels attached to its bottom so the player can roil the device to any desired location on the basketball court. Underneath the stack of basketballs in the housing is a lifting mechanism that controllably raises the balls towards the top of the housing, for removal by the player. The player takes the top basketball from the housing, takes a shot, steps on a foot pedal and the player is presented with another basketball for shooting practice.
