Patent attributes
A ball collecting apparatus and method of use thereof, wherein the ball collecting apparatus comprises a plurality of selectively positionable elastic members secured to a plurality of securing points on a lower portion of a frame or a removable base section connected to the frame. The plurality of elastic members are secured to user-selected securing points so that the distance between the elastic members can accommodate substantially spherical objects of different sizes. In use, the ball collecting apparatus is pressed on top of a ball or similar object, causing the elastic members to separate and allow the ball to enter and be retained within the frame. Upon entering of the ball within the frame, the elastic members retract to their original position, therein preventing the ball from falling back out.
