Baseball Training Assembly
Abstract
A baseball training assembly includes a pair of elbow braces. Each of the elbow braces is worn around an associated one of a user's elbows. A belt is provided and the belt is worn around the user's waist. A connection unit is coupled to the belt. The connection unit is centrally positioned on the user's back when the belt is worn. A plurality of elastic bands is provided. Each of the elastic bands is coupled between the connection unit and an associated one of the elbow braces. Thus, each of the elastic bands retains the user's elbows in a selected position corresponding to a preferred geometry with respect to swinging a baseball bat.
Claims
exact text as granted — not AI-modified1 . A baseball training assembly being configured to train proper bat swinging, said assembly comprising:
a pair of elbow braces, each of said elbow braces being configured to be worn around an associated one of a user's elbows, each of said elbow braces comprising a sleeve being configured to be worn around the user's elbow, said sleeve being comprised of a resiliently stretchable material, said sleeve having an outer surface, each of said braces including a plurality of bracings, each of said bracings being coupled to said outer surface of said sleeve, said bracings intersecting each other on said sleeve, each of said bracings biasing said sleeve to form approximately a right angle wherein each of said bracings is configured to inhibit the user's elbow from hyper extending; a belt being configured to be worn around the user's waist; a connection unit being coupled to said belt wherein said connection unit is configured to be centrally positioned on the user's back when said belt is worn; and a plurality of elastic bands, each of said elastic bands being coupled between said connection unit and an associated one of said elbow braces wherein each of said elastic bands is configured to retain the user's elbows in a selected position corresponding to a preferred geometry with respect to swinging a baseball bat.

9 . The assembly according to claim 1 , further comprising:
said belt having an outwardly facing surface, a first end and a second end; and a third coupler being movably coupled to said outwardly facing surface of said belt, said third coupler being positioned closer to said second end of said belt than said first end of said belt.
10 . The assembly according to claim 5 , wherein each of said elastic bands has a first end and a second end, each of said elastic bands having a mating member being coupled to said first end, said plurality of elastic bands including a right elastic band and a left elastic band, each of said right and left elastic bands being coupled between said connection unit and an associated one of said right and left braces.
11 . A baseball training assembly being configured to train proper bat swinging, said assembly comprising:
a pair of elbow braces, each of said elbow braces being configured to be worn around an associated one of a user's elbows, each of said elbow braces comprising:
a sleeve being configured to be worn around the user's elbow, said sleeve being comprised of a resiliently stretchable material, said sleeve having an outer surface,
a plurality of bracings, each of said bracings being coupled to said outer surface of said sleeve, said bracings intersecting each other on said sleeve, each of said bracings biasing said sleeve to form approximately a right angle wherein each of said bracings is configured to inhibit the user's elbow from hyper extending, and
a fastener being coupled to one of said bracings, said fastener being centrally positioned along said sleeve wherein said fastener is configured to be aligned with the user's elbow when said sleeve is worn;
said pair of elbow braces including a left brace and a right brace, said left brace being configured to be worn on the user's left arm, said right brace being configured to be worn on the user's right arm; a belt being configured to be worn around the user's waist, said belt having a first end, a second end, an outwardly facing surface, a top edge and a bottom edge; a connection unit being coupled to said belt wherein said connection unit is configured to be centrally positioned on the user's back when said belt is worn, said connection unit comprising:
a pair of attachments, each of said attachments being coupled to said outwardly facing surface, said attachments being spaced apart from each other and being distributed between said top edge and said bottom edge of said belt, each of said attachments being centrally positioned on said belt,
a pair of first couplers, each of said first couplers being coupled to said outwardly facing surface, each of said first couplers being spaced apart from a center of said belt, each of said first couplers being positioned between said attachments,
a second coupler being movably coupled to said outwardly facing surface of said belt, said second coupler being positioned closer to said first end of said belt than said second end of said belt, and
a third coupler being movably coupled to said outwardly facing surface of said belt, said third coupler being positioned closer to said second end of said belt than said first end of said belt; and
a plurality of elastic bands, each of said elastic bands being coupled between said connection unit and an associated one of said elbow braces wherein each of said elastic bands is configured to retain the user's elbows in a selected position corresponding to a preferred geometry with respect to swinging a baseball bat, each of said elastic bands having a first end and a second end, each of said elastic bands having a mating member being coupled to said first end, said plurality of elastic bands including a right elastic band and a left elastic band, each of said right and left elastic bands being coupled between said connection unit and an associated one of said right and left braces.Join the waitlist — get patent alerts
