Axle housing for a support stand for an automatic ball throwing device

An axle housing system for a support stand for an automatic ball throwing machine comprising:

• a first device having a member, a support tube disposed on the member and operably configured to receive a support stand leg, and an axle connected to the member;
• a second device identical to the first device;
• and,
• a cross support rod having first and second ends, wherein the first end is removably engage with the member of the first device such that the cross support rod is disposed opposite and parallel to the axle of the first device and wherein the second end is removably engaged with the member of the second device such that the cross support rod is disposed opposite and parallel to the axle of the second device.

A support stand device for an automatic ball throwing machine, comprising:

• a plurality of rear legs attachable to the automatic ball throwing machine;
• a front leg opposed to the rear legs and attachable to the automatic ball throwing machine;
• and,
• an axle housing device for each of the plurality of rear legs, wherein each axle housing device has a member, a support tube disposed on the member and operably configured to receive a support stand leg, an axle connected to the member and operably configure to receive a wheel, and a cross support rod affixed to the member opposite and parallel to the axle.

An automatic ball throwing device, comprising:

• a ball directing assembly having a first member, a second member pivotally attached to the first member, a third member disposed substantially parallel to the second member and rotatably connected to the second member, a first actuator connected to the first and second members, and a second actuator connected to the first and third members;
• a ball launching device connected to the third member, wherein orientation of the ball launching device is controlled by actuation of the first and second actuators such that when the first actuator is actuated the second member pivots relative to the first member and when the second actuator is actuated the third member rotates relative to the second member;
• a support stand having a plurality of legs, wherein the first member of the ball directing device is attached to the support stand;
• and,
• a plurality of axle housing devices affixed to the support stand, wherein each axle housing device has a member, a support tube disposed on the member and operably configured to receive a support stand leg, an axle connected to the member and operably configured to receive a wheel, and a cross support rod affixed to the member opposite and parallel to the axle.
