Abstract:
The present invention relates to sporting goods, and in particular to a device for retrieving hockey pucks. The device makes use of an array of retaining whiskers at the open end of the device to capture and retain hockey pucks. The design of the whisker array is such that the whiskers can suspend a large number of hockey pucks against the force of gravity while at the same time allowing for new pucks to be captured by the device with a minimum of downward pressure. One embodiment of the present invention is a puck shooting device incorporating one or more of the puck retrieval devices in a removable arrangement as a puck feed magazine for the puck shooter.
