Abstract:
A quarterback training device is an electric football launcher that is able to mimic the snap of a center as performed during a football game and to place a spin on the launched ball. The speed of the launch is adjustable via a remote control and the device provides for a handoff shelf to be attached.

Claim (Index 1):
A quarterback training device comprising:\n a launching mechanism including:\n a main body including:\n a front panel having at least one aperture therethrough; \n a back panel; \n two spaced side panels connected between side edge portions of said front panel and said back panel; \n a top panel having at least one aperture therethrough and connected to top edge portions of said front panel, said back panel, and said two spaced side panels; and \n a bottom panel connected to bottom edge portions of said front panel, said back panel, and said two spaced side panels; \n wherein said main body is forms an interior volume; \n \n at least one wheel;\n wherein said at least one wheel is rotatably attached to said main body and adapted to allow said launching mechanism to be moved upon a supporting surface; \n \n a football feeder mechanism including:\n a rotating football magazine;\n wherein said rotating football magazine is adapted to hold a plurality of footballs in a spaced relation to one another thereon and rotate within said interior volume of said main body; \n \n a magazine motor;\n wherein said magazine motor is connected to said rotating football magazine and adapted to incrementally rotate said rotating football magazine; \n \n a linear actuator including;\n a stationary linear track; \n \u2003wherein said stationary linear track is attached to an inner wall of said bottom panel of said main body and adjacent said rotating football magazine; \n a movable ball ram; \n \u2003wherein said movable ball ram is slidably movable along a length of said stationary linear track and adapted to move footballs individually outwardly from said rotating football magazine; and \n an actuator motor; \n \u2003wherein said actuator motor is connected between said stationary linear track and said movable ball ram and adapted to move said movable ball ram linearly upon said stationary linear track toward said front panel; \n \n wherein said football feeder mechanism is located within said interior volume of said main body; and \n wherein a user can individually place footballs into said launching mechanism through said aperture of said top panel and onto said rotating football magazine; \n \n two spaced launch wheels;\n wherein said two spaced launch wheels are individually rotatably and adjustably connected to said inner wall of said bottom panel of said main body, are positioned on opposite sides of a distal end portion of said stationary linear track; and are located in proximity to said aperture of said front panel of said main body; \n wherein said two spaced launch wheels each have an axis of rotation that is angularly adjustable with respect to said bottom panel of said main body, such that when each respective football is moved onto said distal end portion of said stationary linear track said two spaced launch wheels can squeeze and push each respective football and adjustably launch them outwardly through said aperture of said front panel of said main body; \n \n two launch wheel motors;\n wherein a respective launch wheel motor is connected to a respective launch wheel and adapted to adjustably rotate said respective launch wheel; and \n \n a control;\n wherein said control is located upon an exterior surface of said main body, is electrically connected to said magazine motor, said actuator motor, and said two launch wheel motors, and is adapted to activate and control the motions thereof; \n \n a remote controller including:\n a switch;\n wherein said switch is adapted to selectively activate said launching mechanism; and \n \n a controller power supply;\n wherein said controller power supply provides electric power thereto; \n \n wherein said remote controller is adapted to electronically communicate with said control of said launching mechanism and thereby control said launching mechanism; and \n a power source;\n wherein said power source is located with said interior volume of said main body, is electrically connected to said magazine motor, said actuator motor, said two launch wheel motors, and said control, and is adapted to provide electrical power thereto.
