ABSTRACT:
A ball projecting device is provided for propelling a ball pneumatically, wherein the speed of the ball projected is, at least in part, determined by utilizing a pneumatically operated, preferably variable, detent in the barrel of the device. The detent holds the ball within the barrel until a predetermined air pressure is built up behind the ball, which then causes the detent to quickly, almost immediately, collapse, permitting the ball to be projected out of the barrel.
The invention further comprises a ball feeding mechanism, for feeding projectile balls to the barrel, the feeding mechanism comprising a rotating multi-apertured disk, rotating about an axis transverse to the horizontal and an overhanging ball guard device to prevent the blocking of the feed mechanism with a plurality of balls.
