Abstract:
A sports training device attached to the shaft of a swinging sports apparatus, such as a baseball bat. The device includes a drag chute disposed between two rigid members, a support rod disposed between the two rigid members along the longitudinal axis of the chute, and a plurality of coupling elements connected to the support rod. Each coupling element includes an annular opening for positioning of the sports apparatus therethrough. One coupling element has a stationary component that secures the device to the sports apparatus and a rotating component that rotates 360° around the sports apparatus. As such, the entirety of the device, with exception to this stationary component, can substantially freely rotate 360° around the sports apparatus. Resistance during a swing can be adjusted by sliding the coupling mechanisms along the support rod to expose more or less of the chute.

Claim (Index 8):
The rehabilitation apparatus of  claim 6 , wherein the obstruction member includes an unlocked orientation, in which the obstruction member is not in mechanical communication with the inner bearing, such that an obstruction force is not exerted on the inner bearing, and such that the inner bearing can feely rotate with respect to the outer housing.
