Assignee:

Gregory P. Snyder - Bloomington MN

International Classification:

A63B 6900

US Classification:

473422, 473446, 36 1, 36132

Abstract:

A training shoe for soccer includes a pressure-responsive sensor mounted with respect to a soccer shoe at a selected location, for example at the instep or along the laces at the top of the shoe. When a soccer ball is kicked at the selected location, the sensor provides an electrical signal to a microprocessor, causing selection logic in the microprocessor to choose one of several control words. The selected control word is provided to a voice playback circuit to select one of several digital data sets, each set corresponding to a different sound. The playback circuit provides an analog electrical control signal to a speaker, thereby generating a selected sound corresponding to the selected digital data set. System components can be mounted permanently to a shoe, or to a cover or strap arrangement releasably mounted to the shoe.

Filed:

Oct 12, 2005

Appl. No.:

11/249677

Inventors:

Gregory Snyder - Bloomington MN, US

International Classification:

A63B 69/00

US Classification:

473435000, 473422000

Abstract:

A variety of training boards and panel assemblies are releasably secured to the ground to provide targets with rebound capability for developing and improving ball handling skills. Pivotably mounted panel support arms, and stakes insertable through the arms and panel base region into the ground, are used to orient and secure training boards and panels relative to the ground. Complementary coupling elements can be used to join several panels together, and support brackets can be configured to mount panels at various vertical and near vertical orientations.

Appl. No.:

12/166135

Inventors:

Gregory P. Snyder - Bloomington MN, US

International Classification:

A63B 69/00

US Classification:

473435

Abstract:

A variety of training boards and panel assemblies are supported by an indoor floor base to provide targets with rebound capability for developing and improving ball handling skills. Panel supporting uprights extend upwardly from a base housing to provide backing and necessary stability for a rebound panel. The supporting uprights are configured to provide supporting surfaces to which the rebound panels are attached, with the supporting surfaces aligned to position the rebound panels in a desired orientation. To provide stability, the base housing includes frictional elements to help hold in place for while in a gym floor. Also, the base housing is configured to hold weights of a desired configuration, thus cooperating with the frictional elements to hold the training board in place while being subjected to forces from balls. In addition, the supporting uprights have multiple support surfaces capable of aligning the panels in a desired orientation, thus providing multiple rebound characteristics to the user.
