ABSTRACT:
A portable ball-holding device for carrying tennis balls or the like and which can be worn by the player at the small of the back in an unobtrusive manner. A substantially flat base member has a facing surface, a reverse surface and a plurality of projections extending from the facing surface and mutually spaced to define a plurality of ball receiving regions each dimensioned to removably receive one ball. Each projection is provided with an enlarged head portion at the distal end to facilitate retention of a ball.
Several alternate means for attaching the holding device to a carrying member include a central portion of the base member and a pair of flanking flexible tab members formed so that the tab members may be inserted into the waistband of a player's garment, with the rear surface of the base member and the front surface and the free end of each tab member textured to provide improved frictional engagement with the player's garment; and adhesion means secured to the reverse surface of the base member for releasable attachment to a complementary adhesion means secured to the player's garment; and a pair of slots formed in opposing edges of the base member through which a fabric or leather belt may be passed to secure the device around the player's waist.
A cover member fabricated from transparent plastic forms a protective package for the balls, which may also function as a pressurized original sale carton by providing a rupturable seal at the junction between the cover portion and the base member.
