Is there an elementary proof for the envelope of an infinitely-bouncing billiard ball?

I was reading this page here

And was wondering if there existed an elementary proof of proving that the envelopes form certain conic sections (ie: hyperbola or ellipse) depending on the initial angle of projection. It seems like a fascinating topic that I'd like to dig deeper into.
