ABSTRACT:
An elongated tubular member for retrieving and dispensing deformable balls, such as tennis balls, is provided with retrieving structure at one extremity and dispensing structure at the opposite extremity. The retrieving structure forms an inlet opening having internal projections requiring deformation of a ball being forced through the inlet opening. The dispensing structure forms a dispensing opening and a restraining lip preventing inadvertent movement of the lowermost ball through the dispensing opening. The dispensing structure also forms a manual access opening, permitting access to the lowermost ball by the fingers of the user to permit dispensing movement of the lowermost ball. The dispensing structure also forms a rotatable closure for the dispensing opening to secure balls within the tubular member for storage. The tubular member is formed by telescoping tube sections permitting the tubular member to be collapsed for storage or extended for use. A locking member is provided to secure the tubular sections at any desirable telescoping position.
