In particular, a batter's glove for baseball that clicks when the batter holds the bat in the correct position for a power swing. A particular embodiment of the present invention is a glove with a small convex metal strip sewed onto the lower part of the thumb extending over the top of the thumb to the wrist. The strip can resemble a portion of a tape measure in some embodiments. This strip can be positioned so that it bends and clicks when the hands are in exactly the right position to indicate that the bat or club is correct for a maximum power swing. The strip can click a second time during the power stroke itself. The present invention is not limited to baseball and/or golf, but may be used with any sport that requires swinging such as tennis and other sports.

In a method for adjusting the weight-training mass of a weightplate device, a weight plate is added to the exterior of the weight plate mass so that a magnetic pole region carried by the added weight plate is magnetically coupled to the weight plate mass to magnetically secure the added weight plate to the dumbbell. When decoupling is desired, the added weight plate is rotated with respect to the weight plate mass to bring the carried magnetic pole region into alignment with a magnetically non-attracting portion of the weight plate mass so that the added weight plate can be removed from the weight plate device without overcoming the magnetically-securing coupling force. In a variation of the method, the added weight plate is rotated to bring its carried magnetic pole into sufficient alignment with a pole of like polarity carried by the weight plate mass so that the added weight plate is magnetically repelled.

Принадлежит: Individual

A play swing system includes a safety harness attached to each seat, as well as other features for interactive and competitive throwing and tossing games. The safety harness may incorporates various games features, and thus encourage use in activities that require at least one free hand, or otherwise increase the risk of slippage and falling from the play swing seat. Various embodiments accommodate as well as challenge the spatial perception, dexterity and reflexes of players of different ages. For examples, younger players might compete by throwing objects at a fixed target mounted on the ground. In other embodiments, the target is moving in synchronization with the oscillatory motion of the adjacent players swing by a physical coupling or attachment. Interactive play is encouraged at the higher skill levels by configuring the targets associated with adjacent seats to face each other. In this embodiment, the players oscillate in opposite directions so that they are closest to the target when the relative velocity is highest. The objects of the associated games can be building a higher score, as well as soaking the other player(s) with water supplied by an external source and actuated by instantaneous or accumulated contact of a throwing object with a target.
