ABSTRACT:
A ball throwing apparatus capable of releasing balls at selected intervals and selected trajectories, and operable from a remote location. The apparatus comprises a base and a throwing arm mounted on the base for pivotal movement between a ball loading position and a released position. There is a ball receiving aperture for holding a ball to be thrown mounted on the throwing arm. A suction cup element is positioned to be depressible by the throwing arm so as to releasably hold the throwing arm in the ball loading position. A slow leak is created in the suction cup for releasing the hold of the suction cup element after a short delay to allow the user time to prepare for the throwing of the ball. An actuating spring attached to the throwing arm acts to move the arm from the ball loading position to the released position upon release of the throwing arm by the suction cup element, the movement of the throwing arm between the positions resulting in a throwing motion. An automatic ball loading mechanism and a remote operating mechanism are provided. The apparatus also includes a mechanism for controlling the speed at which the ball is thrown.
