DEFINITION

Classification: 473/434

Deflector:

(under subclass 431) Practice or training device wherein the projectile return means comprises a surface which acts as a reaction surface against which the projectile, upon impacting thereon, is caused to deflect or bounce away therefrom.

(1) Note. Although a device in the form of a projectile-stopping net or the like (due to its resilience, an inclined lower portion thereof, etc.) may function to a small degree to move the projectile a limited extent in a direction toward the practicing or training player, the device is not considered to be a deflector type of projectile return means proper for this and the indented subclass unless the projectile is returned to a point located in the general vicinity of the player.
