Abstract

A training assembly structured to facilitate a swing motion of a user, during performance of a sports activity, including a receiver and a transmitter both mounted on predetermined portions of the user'"'"'s body, such as the hip and arm. The arm mounted transmitter is movable relative to the receiver and is structured to communicate and activating signal to the receiver when disposed a predetermined distance there from, representative of a reactive segment of the swing motion. The receiver is structured to generate and deliver and indicating signal to the user for purposes of indicating that the reactive segment of the swing motion has been reached. The reactive segment is thereby determinative of when the user instigates a complementary adjustment of the user'"'"'s body, during the swing motion, such as rotating the user'"'"'s hips during a preferred part of the swing motion.

Claims

1. A training assembly structured to facilitate a swing motion of a user, said assembling comprising:

a receiver operatively disposed in a first predetermined the vicinity relative to the user,

a transmitter operatively disposed in a second predetermined vicinity relative to the user,

said receiver and said transmitter cooperatively structured for wireless communication of an activating signal from said transmitter to said receiver,

said receiver structured to transmit said indicating signal to the user, upon receipt of said activating signal,

said indicating signal dependent on said first predetermined vicinity,

said activating signal and said indicating signal collectively operative to determine and indicate a predetermined reactive segment of the swing motion to the user, and

said reactive segment determinative of implementation of a complementary adjustment of the user'"'"'s body during the swing motion.

2. The training assembly as recited in claim 1 wherein said first predetermined vicinity comprises said receiver being mounted on the user.

3. The training assembly as recited in claim 2 wherein said indicating signal comprises a generated sound.

4. The training assembly as recited in claim 2 wherein said indicating signal further comprises a mechanical vibration applied to the user.

5. The training assembly as recited in claim 4 wherein said receiver comprises a mobile communication device programmed to receive said activating signal and generate said indicating signal.

6. The training assembly as recited in claim 5 wherein said indicating signal comprises a generated sound.

7. The training assembly as recited in claim 2 wherein said receiver comprises an impulse generator disposed in confronting relation to the user'"'"'s body;

said impulse generator structured to generate and deliver said indicating signal in the form of an impulse to the user.

8. The training assembly as recited in claim 7 wherein said impulse generator comprises an electrical impulse generator disposed in electrically conductive relation to the user'"'"'s body, said indicating signal comprising an electric charge.

9. The training assembly as recited in claim 7 wherein said impulse generator comprises a mechanical impulse generator structured to generate and deliver said indicating signal in the form of a mechanical impulse to the user.

10. The training assembly as recited in claim 2 wherein said second predetermined vicinity comprises said transmitter mounted on the user at a variable distance from said receiver.

11. The training assembly as recited in claim 10 wherein said transmitter is structured to generate and transmit said activating signal to said receiver upon a predetermined distance existing between said transmitter and said receiver.

12. The training assembly as recited in claim 11 wherein said first and said second facilities comprise said receiver respectively disposed adjacent one hip of the user and on a corresponding arm of the user.

13. The training assembly as recited in claim 12 wherein said predetermined distance is determined by movement of the arm relative to the corresponding hip of the user.

14. The training assembly as recited in claim 12 wherein said predetermined reactive segment is at least partially defined by said predetermined distance between said transmitter and said receiver during performance of the swing motion.

15. The training assembly as recited in claim 14 wherein said complementary adjustment of the swing motion comprises a complementary movement of the user'"'"'s hip during the swing motion.

16. The training assembly as recited in claim 2 wherein said second predetermined vicinity comprises a location of said transmitter remote from the user.

17. The training assembly as recited in claim 16 wherein said transmitter is structured for remote operation to generate and deliver said activating signal to the user.

18. The training assembly as recited in claim 17 wherein said remote operation and substantially concurrent generation of said activating signal is at least partially dependent on a remote visual observation of the swing motion.

19. A training assembly structured to facilitate a swing motion of a user, said assembly comprising:

a receiver and a transmitter each disposed on the user,

said transmitter movable with the user a variable distance from said receiver during the swing motion,

said receiver and said transmitter cooperatively structured for wireless communication of an activating signal from said transmitter to said receiver, upon disposition of said transmitter a predetermined distance from said receiver,

said receiver structured to transmit and indicating signal to the user, upon receipt of said activating signal,

said activating signal and said indicating signal collectively operative to determine and indicate a predetermined reactive segment of the swing motion to the user, and

said reactive segment determinative of instigation of a complementary adjustment of the user'"'"'s body during the swing motion.

20. The training assembly as recited in claim 19 wherein said indicating signal comprises generated sound.

21. The training assembly as recited in claim 19 wherein said indicating signal further comprises a mechanical vibration.

22. The training assembly as recited in claim 21 wherein said receiver comprises a mobile communication device programmed to receive said activating signal and generate said indicating signal.

23. The training assembly as recited in claim 22 wherein said activating signal comprises generated sound.

24. The training assembly as recited in claim 19 wherein said receiver comprises an impulse generator disposed in confronting relation to the user'"'"'s body;

said impulse generator structured to generate and deliver said indicating signal, in the form of an impulse, to the user.

25. The training assembly as recited in claim 24 wherein said impulse generator comprises an electrical impulse generator disposed in electrical conductive relation to the user'"'"'s body, said indicating signal comprising an electric charge.

26. The training assembly as recited in claim 24 wherein said impulse generator comprises a mechanical impulse generator structured to generate and deliver said indicating signal in the form of a mechanical impulse to the user.

27. The training assembly as recited in claim 19 wherein said receiver is disposed adjacent one hip of the user;

said transmitter disposed on a corresponding arm of the user, relative to the one hip.

28. The training assembly as recited in claim 27 wherein said predetermined reactive segment is at least partially defined by said predetermined distance between said transmitter and said receiver during the swing motion.

29. The training assembly as recited in claim 28 wherein said adjustment of the swing motion comprises a complementary movement of the user'"'"'s hips concurrent to performance of a remainder of the swing motion.

30. The training assembly as recited in claim 19 further comprising a proximity determining assembly operatively associated with said transmitter and said receiver and structured to determine at least a predetermined distance therebetween.
