Batting T adapter

Abstract

An insertable adapter for use with rubber batting-t's that is translucent, flexible and designed to more faithfully reflect the mechanics of hitting a ball thrown through the air.

What I claim is:  
     
         1 ) A unitary batting-t adapter comprising: 
 a) a cylindrical lower base portion having an outside wall, a lower edge, a lower end, a top end, a lower base narrow section, having a first diameter, disposed adjacent said lower end and, an upper neck section, having a second diameter, larger than said first diameter, disposed between said lower narrow base section and said top end of said cylindrical base portion;    b) a circumfrential stop ring, unitarily connected to said top end of said lower base portion, having a lower neck, an extending arm portion and, an upper neck;    c)a solid upper base portion, having a lower end and an upper end, which is unitarily connected to said upper neck of said circumfrential stop ring;    d) an upper support portion, unitarily connected to said upper end of said upper base portion having an outer wall, an inner wall an inner base, and an upper edge which together define an internal aperture; and,    d) an upper flared tip portion, connected to said upper edge of said upper support portion, having an outer wall, an inner wall, a lower edge and an upper edge for supporting a ball.    
     
     
         2 ) A batting-t adapter, as recited in  claim 1 , wherein said batting-t adapter is made from translucent material.  
     
     
         3 ) A batting-t adapter, as recited in  claim 1 , wherein said batting-t adapter is made from flexible material.  
     
     
         4 ) A batting-t adapter, as recited in  claim 1 , wherein said batting-t adapter is made from flexible PVC.  
     
     
         5 ) A batting-t adapter, as recited in  claim 1 , wherein said batting-t adapter is made as a unitary article of manufacturer.  
     
     
         6 ) A batting-t adapter, as recited in  claim 1 , made from a material with a relatively high-density material that is flexible and tough.  
     
     
         7 ) A batting-t adapter, as recited in  claim 1 , made from a material with a smooth relatively low friction surface.  
     
     
         8 ) A batting-t adapter, as recited in  claim 1 , wherein said cylindrical lower base portion firmly, slidably and frictionally mates with telescoping vertical tubes of commonly known batting-t's.  
     
     
         9 ) A batting-t adapter, as recited in  claim 1 , wherein said cylindrical lower base portion firmly, slidably and frictionally mates with vertical base pipe portions of commonly known batting-t's.  
     
     
         10 ) A batting-t adapter, as recited in  claim 1 , wherein said batting-t adapter is lightweight and of unitary construction.  
     
     
         11 ) A batting-t adapter, as recited in  claim 1 , wherein said batting-t adapter may be carried in a travel bag.  
     
     
         12 ) A batting-t adapter, as recited in  claim 1 , wherein said cylindrical lower base lower base narrow section has a diameter of about 1.165 inches.  
     
     
         13 ) A batting-t adapter, as recited in  claim 1 , wherein said cylindrical lower base upper neck section has a diameter of about 1.23 inches.  
     
     
         14 ) A batting-t adapter, as recited in  claim 1 , wherein said cylindrical lower base portion has a length, between said lower edge and said lower neck, of about 7 inches.  
     
     
         15 ) A batting-t adapter, as recited in  claim 1 , wherein said circumfrential stop ring has a diameter of about 1.7 inches.  
     
     
         16 ) A batting-t adapter, as recited in  claim 1 , wherein said cylindrical lower base upper neck section has a length of about 0.5 inches.  
     
     
         17 ) A batting-t adapter, as recited in  claim 1 , wherein said upper support portion is about 5.5 inches in length.  
     
     
         18 ) A batting-t adapter, as recited in  claim 1 , wherein said upper flared tip portion has a length of about 1.5 inches.  
     
     
         19 ) A batting-t adapter, as recited in  claim 1 , wherein said upper flared tip portion has a wall diameter of about 0.25 inches.  
     
     
         20 ) A batting-t adapter, as recited in  claim 1 , wherein said upper edge of said upper flared tip portion has a rounded surface.  
     
     
         21 ) A batting-t adapter, as recited in  claim 1 , wherein said upper aperture of said upper flared tip portion has a diameter of about 1.25 inches.  
     
     
         22 ) A batting-t adapter, as recited in  claim 1 , wherein said upper support portion has a length of about 1.0 inches.
