Abstract:
A sphere-launching apparatus includes a launching tube defining a launching passage, a push unit having a push rod and a first driving device, and a pneumatic unit having a valve mechanism, a pneumatic cylinder and an air container. The push rod, to protrude axially into the launching passage, has a third axial end and an opposing fourth axial end for contacting a sphere in the launching tube. The first driving device, connected with the third axial end, controls the push rod to move the sphere along the launching passage to a predetermined position. The valve mechanism has an air-emitting end connected spatially with the launching passage. The pneumatic cylinder drives the valve mechanism to block or open the air-emitting end. When the valve mechanism opens the air-emitting end, a compressed air in the air container is discharged into the launching passage to eject the sphere out of the launching tube.

Claim (Index 4):
The sphere-launching apparatus of  claim 1 , wherein the valve mechanism has a compressed-air injection hole for introducing the compressed air into the valve mechanism and then the air container.
