Abstract:
A rotational stick handling training device, which can be used by athletes, such as hockey players, to improve their stick handling skills. More specifically, a training device comprised of a central support system and one or more rotating projections on which a user can practice avoidance maneuvers. The central support system can include a mechanics housing, rotation mechanics located in the mechanics housing, and a central rod supported by the mechanics housing. Each of the rotating projections can include a shaft and a hockey blade located at a distal end of the shaft. The proximal end of each of the rotating projections can connect to a top portion of the central support system, such as the central rod, and the rotation mechanics can be structured and configured to rotate the central rod, causing the central rod to function as an axis about which the rotating projections can rotate.

Claim (Index 15):
A rotational stick handling training device comprising:\n a central support system comprising:\n a mechanics housing having a base, \n rotation mechanics within the mechanics housing that are comprised of:\n a power source, \n a motor, \n a switch housing connected to the power source and the motor, \n rod support architecture connected to the motor, and \n a coupling having an open top and bottom and a portion of an exterior surface attached to a central portion of a top of the mechanics housing, and \n \n a central rod having a bottom, a main body, and a top, wherein:\n the bottom of the central rod is attached to the rod support architecture, \n the coupling surrounds a portion of the central rod and is structured and configured to transition the central rod from an interior of the mechanics housing to an exterior of the mechanics housing, and \n the rotation mechanics are structured and configured to rotate the central rod, causing the central rod to function as a rotational axis, and \n \n a cap comprised of:\n a central rod cap attached to the top of the central rod, and \n one or more shaft connector caps, each connected to the central rod cap; \n \n one or more rotating projections that rotate about the central rod, each of the one or more rotating projections comprising:\n a shaft comprised of an upper shaft and a lower shaft, the shaft having a proximal end and a distal end, wherein the proximal end is connected to a corresponding shaft connector cap, and \n a hockey blade located at the distal end of the shaft; and \n one or more horizontal supports, each horizontal support comprising:\n a support rod having a proximal end and a distal end, \n a horizontal rod connector, and \n a horizontal shaft connector, \n wherein:\n the proximal end of each support rod connects to the horizontal rod connector, which is located on the main body of the central rod; and \n the distal end of each support rod connects to the horizontal shaft connector, which is positioned between the upper shaft and the lower shaft.
