US Classification:

273 15R

Abstract:

A basketball game device especially adapted for use in a room of a home or the like, comprising a backboard assemblage including a central panel part and a pair of wing panel parts, the latter constituting side panels which are hingedly connected to the central panel. A hoop is provided for receiving a simulated basketball in the usual manner. The side panels or wings each carry spring clips which respectively engage two spring-loaded telescoping poles for supporting the assemblage at various adjusted positions in the room between the floor and ceiling thereof. The arrangement is such that the wings can be adjustably positioned to different angles with respect to the central panel part, thereby making the game more interesting by enabling "bank" or angle shots to be made off the wings. In addition, the adjusted angles can be changed merely by laterally shifting either of the poles by the desired amount. A spring action of the telescopic poles also results in a toggle effect, by which the three panels are maintained in either a single flat plane or else with a given angularity as determined by the spacing between the poles.
