ABSTRACT:
An improved feeding apparatus provides reliable feeding of balls from the supply hopper to the feed tube of a conventional ball projecting machine. A disc with a selected number of apertures, large enough to hold up to two balls, rotates below the supply hopper and above a support plate to randomly receive balls from the supply hopper for delivery of the balls at regular, predetermined intervals to the feed tube. A curved, inclined ramp adjacent the feed tube opening insures that only one ball will be allowed to enter the feed tube opening should two balls reside in each disc aperture. The balls in the disc apertures roll along on the support plate and protrude above the disc as it rotates thereby stirring the balls in the supply hopper and reducing the chance of bridging or jamming.
