Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

This disclosure relates to implementations of a tennis ball pickup tube attachment bag.

BACKGROUND

FIG. 1 illustrates an example existing tennis ball pickup tube used to collect tennis balls on a tennis court. However, existing tennis ball pickup tubes can only collect a limited number of balls, and must be emptied repeatedly to collect additional balls. To empty an existing tennis ball pickup tube, a user must dump the tennis balls into a receptacle which is usually some distance away from the current location of the user on a tennis court. This back and forth movement from the court to the receptacle to dump the balls can be time consuming and inconvenient.

FIGS. 3-5 illustrate an implementation of an example tennis ball pickup tube attachment bag according to the present disclosure.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

Implementations of a tennis ball pickup tube attachment bag are provided. In some implementations, the tennis ball pickup tube attachment bag comprises one or more pieces of material attached together and forming an enclosed interior and a corresponding exterior. In some implementations, the tennis ball pickup tube attachment bag also comprises a first opening and a second opening into the enclosed interior.

In some implementations, the tennis ball pickup tube attachment bag also comprises a first securing loop and a second securing loop. In some implementations, the tennis ball pickup tube attachment bag also comprises a first securing strap, a second securing strap, and a third securing strap.

In some implementations, the tennis ball pickup tube attachment bag is configured to connect to the top end of an existing tennis ball pickup tube.

In some implementations, the tennis ball pickup tube attachment bag is configured to receive and hold tennis balls that are picked up by a connected tennis ball pickup tube.

In some implementations, the tennis ball pickup tube attachment bag is configured to empty tennis balls that are collected and held in the tennis ball pickup tube attachment bag, for example into a receptacle or other container.

In some implementations, the tennis ball pickup tube attachment bag is configured to allow a user to collect many more tennis balls than can be collected by just using a tennis ball pickup tube alone.

In some implementations, the tennis ball pickup tube attachment bag is configured to allow a user to collect many more tennis balls than with just a tennis ball pickup tube before the tennis ball pickup tube attachment bag needs to be emptied to collect additional tennis balls.

In some implementations, the tennis ball pickup tube attachment bag thereby reduces the time consumption and increases the convenience to collect tennis balls from a tennis court and to empty the tennis balls into a receptacle.

In some implementations, a method for using the tennis ball pickup tube attachment bag comprises coupling the tennis ball pickup tube to the tennis ball pickup tube attachment bag. In some implementations, the method comprises attaching the first securing loop and the second securing loop respectively to the first retainer wing and the second retainer wing of the tennis ball pickup tube.

In some implementations, the method comprises attaching the first securing strap to the carry strap loop of the tennis ball pickup tube. In some implementations, the method comprises attaching the second securing strap and the third securing strap respectively across the length of the tennis ball pickup tube.

FIG. 1 illustrates an example existing tennis ball pickup tube 100 used to collect tennis balls 150 on a tennis court. The tennis ball pickup tube 100 includes an elongated tube 100c that extends between a top end 100a and a bottom end 100b.

The tennis ball pickup tube 100 is configured to pick up tennis balls 150 at the bottom end 100b. The bottom end 100b and the top end 100a are configured to hold the picked up tennis balls 150 in the elongated tube 100c.

FIG. 2 illustrates the top end 100a and the bottom end 100b of the existing tennis ball pickup tube 100. As shown in FIG. 2, the top end 100a includes a pair of retainer fingers or wings 100a1, 100a2 extending from opposite sides of the top end 100a. The tennis ball pickup tube 100 may include an elastic band or other retainer (not shown) that attaches to the retainer wings 100a1. The band or other retainer can be attached to the retainer wings 100a1, 100a2 to hold picked up tennis balls in the elongated tube 100c at the top end 100a. The band or other retainer can be removed from the retainer wings 100a1, 100a2 to allow picked up tennis balls to be emptied from the tennis ball pickup tube 100 at the top end 100a.

As shown in FIG. 2, the top end 100a of the tennis ball pickup tube 100 also includes a carry strap loop 100a3. The tennis ball pickup tube 100 may include a carry strap (not shown) that attaches to the carry strap loop 100a3.

As can be seen in FIG. 1, the tennis ball pickup tube 100 can only collect a limited number of tennis balls 150 and must be emptied repeatedly to collect additional balls 150. As discussed above, to empty the tennis ball pickup tube 100, a user must dump the tennis balls 150 into a receptacle which is usually some distance away from the current location of the user on a tennis court. As discussed above, this back and forth movement from the court to the receptacle to dump the balls 150 can be time consuming and inconvenient.

FIGS. 3-5 illustrate an implementation of an example tennis ball pickup tube attachment bag 300 according to the present disclosure. As shown in FIG. 3, in some implementations, the tennis ball pickup tube attachment bag 300 comprises one or more pieces of material attached together and forming an enclosed interior 300a and a corresponding exterior 300b. In some implementations, the tennis ball pickup tube attachment bag 300 also comprises a first opening 300c and a second opening 300d into the enclosed interior 300a.

In some implementations, the tennis ball pickup tube attachment bag 300 also comprises a first securing loop 300e and a second securing loop 300f. In some implementations, the tennis ball pickup tube attachment bag 300 also comprises a first securing strap 300g, a second securing strap 300h, and a third securing strap 300i.

In some implementations, the material attached together and forming the tennis ball pickup tube attachment bag 300 can be any suitable material. For example, in some implementations, the material attached together and forming the tennis ball pickup tube attachment bag 300 may be a thin, flexible, and/or durable material, such as a canvas or nylon based material.

As shown in FIG. 4, in some implementations, the enclosed interior 300a is configured to receive within and contain tennis balls 150. In some implementations, the enclosed interior 300a may be configured to receive within and contain other items in addition to tennis balls 150, such as a tennis racket or other tennis related items (not shown). In some implementations, the enclosed interior 300a may be configured to receive within and contain any other suitable items in addition to tennis balls 150.

As shown in FIG. 4, in some implementations, the first opening 300c is configured to receive tennis balls 150 through the first opening 300c into the enclosed interior 300a.

As shown in FIG. 3, in some implementations, the first opening 300c is configured to couple to a top end 100a of a tennis ball pickup tube 100.

As shown in FIG. 4, in some implementations, the first opening 300c is configured to couple to the top end 100a so that tennis balls 150 that are picked up through a bottom end 100b of the tennis ball pickup tube 100 are received from the top end 100a into the enclosed interior 300a through the first opening 300c.

As shown in FIG. 4, in some implementations, the first opening 300c is configured to couple to the top end 100a of the tennis ball pickup tube 100 so that the top end 100a of the tennis ball pickup tube 100 inserts partially into the first opening 300c.
