Device for Developing and Correcting the Swing of a Baseball Bat

Abstract

Baseball bat swing trainers, including trainers for improving a user's swing of a baseball bat are described herein. In some examples, the device includes a sleeve having a bar and a sleeve connector. In some further examples, device includes a pair of specially designed gloves. In some further examples, the device includes a resistance means and an anchoring means.

1 . A device, comprising:
 a sleeve comprising a horizontally disposed bar and wherein the bar further comprises a sleeve connector;   at least one resistance means comprising an elongated elastic member having proximal end and a distal end; and   an anchoring means.   
     
     
         2 . The device of  claim 1 , wherein the sleeve further comprises a tightening zone having a first portion, a second portion, the first portion and second portion each having of a plurality of vertically opposed apertures. 
     
     
         3 . The device of  claim 2 , wherein the sleeve further comprises a cord having a first end and a second end, the sleeve being removably tightened around the barrel of a baseball bat, and wherein:
 the first end of said cord is removably inserted into each of said plurality of vertically opposed apertures;   the first end and the second end are pulled in horizontally opposing directions;   the first portion and the second portion are brought close together; and wherein   the tightening zone is compressed horizontally around the barrel of a baseball bat.   
     
     
         4 . The device of  claim 1 , wherein the anchoring means further comprises an anchoring means top side and an anchoring means underside. 
     
     
         5 . The device of  claim 1 , wherein the anchoring means topside is substantially dome shaped, the anchoring means underside is substantially disc shaped and wherein the anchoring means further comprises an anchoring means attaching means affixed to the anchoring means top side and wherein the anchoring means underside is weighted and is configured to be removably placed on a horizontal substrate. 
     
     
         6 . The device of  claim 1 , wherein the anchoring means is a stationary vertical substrate having a vertical connecting means. 
     
     
         7 . The device of  claim 1 , wherein a handle of a baseball bat is removably received by the cradle. 
     
     
         8 . The device of  claim 1 , wherein the proximal end of the resistance means is removably coupled to the anchoring means and the distal end of the resistance means is removably coupled to the sleeve connector. 
     
     
         9 . The device of  claim 1 , further comprising a second resistance means having a proximal end and a distal end and wherein the proximal end of the resistance means is removably coupled to the sleeve connector; wherein the distal end of the resistance means is removably coupled to the proximal end of the second resistance means; and wherein the distal end of the second resistance means is removably coupled to the anchoring means. 
     
     
         10 . The device of  claim 1 , comprising a plurality of resistance means and wherein the plurality of resistance means comprises elongated elastic members having differing lengths.
