3. Tennis training device comprising
a support bar ( 5 ) supporting a ball ( 1 ) and swivelable between a first stop ( 8 ) and a second stop ( 9 ) at a base,
wherein the ball ( 1 ) is mounted at the free end of the support bar,
characterised in that
the ball ( 1 ) is mounted at a connecting member ( 20 ) which is releasably fixed at the free end of the support bar by a fixing means ( 20 . 2 ), wherein
the ball ( 1 ) is mounted at the connecting member ( 20 ) in such a way as to be movable in different directions by means of an elastic extension ( 1 a ) which protrudes in radial direction from the ball, and
wherein a hook member or tensioning member ( 22 ) is mounted at the extension ( 1 a ) of the ball ( 1 ) and is hookable in openings ( 3 . 2 ) at the end of the support bar in order to keep the ball ( 1 ) under tension in relation to the connecting member ( 20 ).
4. Tennis training device comprising
support bar ( 5 ) supporting a ball ( 1 ) and swivelable between a first stop ( 8 ) and a second stop ( 9 ) at a base,
wherein the ball ( 1 ) is mounted at the free end of the support bar,
characterised in that
the ball ( 1 ) is mounted at a connecting member ( 20 ) which is releasably fixed at the free end of the support bar by a fixing means ( 20 . 2 ), wherein
the ball is supported rotatable at the connecting member ( 20 ), wherein
the connecting member ( 20 ) has a cross-sectional profile which corresponds to that of the hollow cross-section of the end of the support bar, so the connecting member is insertable in the support bar, and
wherein the connecting member ( 20 ) is fixable by means of screws ( 20 . 2 ) to the support bar and the shaft of the screw engages in a longitudinal slot ( 3 . 1 ) of the support bar.
5. Tennis training device according to claim 4 , wherein the connecting member ( 20 ) is formed such that the rotational axis ( 2 ) of the ball ( 1 ) takes up an angle to the longitudinal direction of the support bar.
6. Tennis training device comprising
a support bar ( 5 ) supporting a ball ( 1 ) and swivelable between a first stop ( 8 ) and a second stop ( 9 ) at a base,
wherein the ball ( 1 ) is mounted at the free end of the support bar,
characterised in that
the ball ( 1 ) is mounted at a connecting member ( 20 ) which is releasably fixed at the free end of the support bar by a fixing means ( 20 . 2 ), wherein
the ball ( 1 ) is mounted at the connecting member ( 20 ) in such a way as to be movable in different directions by means of an elastic extension ( 1 a ) which protrudes in radial direction from the ball, wherein
a plate ( 20 . 3 ) is mounted at the connecting member ( 20 ) for supporting the ball ( 1 ), and
wherein a training unit is mounted at a chassis ( 200 ) overhead on a rod ( 200 a ) in a height-displaceable manner and an identical training device is mounted at the opposite side of the chassis ( 200 ) in an upright position.
