` f .My invention relates toadevice lfor reconyditioning thesuraoe lodatennis ball. Used tennis balls lsaid to be light have lost in actualweiight less than-three per cent. They color of a tennisball .completely restores .fits

, playing qualities. s'lhesuriace' ofv all"y balls,

y .15 'if the vfabric* Covering ist not/'Worn lthrough I to the rubber .l `and which? have. notA deteriorated from' long"disuseyisy capable Vof b'ey ing restored'at a small co'st.-` The, purpose of ayrelatively roughsurface ona tennis ball 20 is-tWo-foldyfirstpto'provide'the proper fric'- tional engagement ,of :the ball with the racky 'et and second, to ,slightly increase'the fric- A tional resistance betweenthe ball and the fairwas'v theball passes through .the air. The ziormer,isnecessary in yorder that the ball y may be givenganyfdesiredtwister spin and vthe llatter is necessary in'order that the spin Y or twist given the ball maybe effective in` causing the ball to travel inapcurved path. 39 Itis ka y well known fact* that .tennis balls,

after they have been usedffor severalgsets byV proficient tennis 'players' areV -discarded becausesthe nap or *,frictionali surface ofl the f p line 43 3V ofV lV andv taken in thefdir'ec'- Ation as indicated by the arrows,

' Another object oi'kmy inventionis to-auto-l matically raise a layer of nap on the suiface of a pluralitv of balls and at the'same time work achalk dust into they surface Vet'y theballs7 thereby giving theyballsfso'treated anew appearance.

AL further object of myinvention is'toproa housing, means for producing anepon "thesnrfaceof the balls,y meansfor chalking thefballs, means for insuring thatftlieballs ftalef their yproper coursethrough saidmeche` anisniand means for takingl c areoithereiuse producedin the process'.

kThe operation ofl follows The cover 29 is lifted from the top -r6 and oney or more tennis balls are dropped into lthe housing' through theopening 28. ,-vTheUorce ,ot gravity carries the ballsfto a position under the drum 26, at which position they are engaged by the drum126-andarerolled along the tracks 8 and .9 byy means ofthe .drum-,26 in a'counterclockwise direction as f viewed in Fig. l. `,The motion of theten'nis balls asV they roll along' n. theitracks.V 8 and 9 is best shown diagrammatically in Fig@ It a ball were to be rolled on the surfacesr in a clockwise directio'nyas viewed-in Fig. 5` the entire lball .wouldv 'rotate momentarily aboutk an axis determined by the point of contact47 of the' ball with the surface-S,with such a rotation every point ofthe ball momentarily moves slightly forward. vThe motion of a ball yhowever when rolling along thev tracksr Sand 9 is entirely ditlerentfrom the motion just described, for inmydevice theballis supported` at two points above the'points 47 and therefore momentarily 4rotates about chord 48-determinedjby the two vpointsof Contact ofthe ball with the tracks 8y and 9. All pointscof the ball below 4the chord,.f48 thenJ move toward the'LV leiftwh'ile all-.points ofy the ba ll above the `chord 48A (move towardv the right. It will be noted `that any point' on the surface of aball which rotates between the tracks Siand 9 describesin general p alooped epicycloidal. path.- `The loop is due to the tact that theballmoinentarily rotatesy about'a chord rather than about a tangentialj line' at theend of a. radins of a ball. It is f the Abackwardy and outward motion ofA suoli 1 slightly backward and in somovingengages .I the' needles of the. needle .belt y21,Y V4slightly depressing the'V needle beltasy the 'ball ladv a point in executing the vrloop in theepicjy'cloid thatuetlects .the picking action be- Y tween the lneedle belt and llthe tennis ball. the drum 26 is rotated inl aC0unlerclock- Wise direction the tennis `ball isfniade to rotate in a clockwise direction which causes the center of theY ball toA travel in a counterclockwise direction. As theball is', rotated alongr the tracks 8 andf v9,y the tracks tare slightly depressed. That portion ofthe ball which lies between they tracks. is moved vannes. This depressionotfthe tracksand the, reds bei# is mie possible-caustic.

Aawayfromfthe n'eedlesthereby producing a or `tour minutes the ball willv havecompletedthe needle belt. On further rotation ofthe ball the lsurface yof thev ball so engagedA by the needle is moved slightly backward'pand t picking action onthe surface ofthe ball.

During the time that. the ball is made to nalcd by gravityor by means of aspring A46, l and 9, a narrow b'elt'of nap has beenV raised along one ofi` thefgreat "circles of-fthe, ball.

rotate overthe4 ent-ire length of the .tracks 8 On leaving the tracksand 9 the ball'possess-A V'es a clockwise spim'butonhitting the angr.- larly disposed surface ottheblock 42the` 'directionof spin ischanged. On passing Abe-` tween the'strips 40 and 41 `"the ball is vturp `-ther rotated, by contact-with these jmembers, fin a direction. at right angles to the direction ofrits original spin. By the actionot' the L block 42 and the strips `40 and 4l, ar new great circle or surface ofthe ball is presented to the action of theneedle belt. At theftime vthat the balls are Ainserted into my device vsome chalk or whitening yis introducedginto the machine Vand as the iibers of the surfacel ofthe ball are slightlyfraised due to the action of the needle belt,`this whitening is worked intothe entire fiberrstructureoikthe I ball. By leaving the ball in my devicethree twenty or thirty cycles; everyportion of; the

surface ofthe ball will have beeirexposedto l'the picking4 actionof .the needle belt and .simultaneously the chalk or whitening has ibeen workediinto the liber ystructure of the l surface, thereby raising the` nap .on the entire surface of thel'ball and 'givingit a new-.appearance The chalk isobviously reduced vto a Vfine powderfor is introduced into the' housiing in powdered condition.v The'tine powder Ibecomes partly suspended' in. the air inthe housing and also coats the Vsurfaces with which the ball comesin contact.

When two o-r more ballsareI-.fplaced in my 1 device at thesamejtime, there'may be a tendency kfortwo'of them, one aboveV the other, to

approach v,the tracksv and driving ,drinnV ofV my device at the same time'. Itjmay happen l.that these balls may then` assume a balanced l i position whereby there is a rotation yof the n `1x15 I balls with respect toeach other, butL notorv ward motion yofeither ball. "To obviatezthis tendency ll have provided the idler43. `As

-will beseenfrom the ,balls showny infdotted lines, the upper'ball engages the idler 43 and .has imparted to ita counterclockwise rota tion. parts a `clockwise rotation tothe'lowe'r ball back of thelower ball.

At' the'end .of a period of three or four and. thereby causes ythe lowerball to inove'- forward and the upper ball to ride'l over and :125i

This counterclockwise rotation` im-Vv minutes the latch 34. may `be released, thereby 7 permit-ting the door 31 toassume' theposi# tien-indiana', ,ie the slQf-tedilinend asiel vthe balls comp'lete: their last cycle tliey 'are :thrown on'tlie upper inclined portion 'of the `door and Vroll 'out'of tlieopening 3() into thehands ofthe operator. Y

The lint and excess f chalk accumulatedy during the operation of the device is caught bythe container 36 which may Vbe emptied at ythe conveniencefof the operator. y'Ihedrum 26 may be operated by means of a suitable hand cranky o'rmaybe po'vver driven by means of any suitable motor.
