Abstract:
ABSTRACT OF THE DISCLOSURE: The sports ball holder is a mechanism for supporting a single sports ball (basketball, football, soccer ball, volleyball, kick ball, etc.) to a wall. The sports ball holder is fundamentally a single length of thick rounded metal formed into a loop with an extending member. The end of the extending member is threaded—like a screw—to form a screw-type fastener. The screw-type fastener is what supports the sports ball holder to the wall. The metal loop has an inside diameter smaller than the maximum diameter of a sports ball (basketball, football, soccer ball, volleyball, kick ball, etc.) to support the sports ball. The sports ball holder must be screwed into a solid material, like a wall stud, for strong support. The simple design of this sports ball holder embodiment makes the sports ball holder more practical to manufacture, package, and install than the prior arts.OPERATION: The entire sports ball holder mechanism will be spun into a wall stud and mounted in the horizontal position. The built in screw-type fastener will strongly secure the sports ball holder to the wall. An individual sports ball can now be placed on and off the sports ball holder at will.
