No-tie sports goals
| Details |
Inventors: Palm, Robert J.;
Assignee:
Primary Examiner: Shapiro; Paul E.
Assistant Examiner:
Attorney, Agent or Firm: Wallor; Robert K.
Sports goals employing a goal net having a plurality of cord loop portions comprising the boundary region of such goal net whereat attachment to a goal frame is made by passing each of said cord loops, respectively, through one of a plurality of spaced apart fasteners on the goal frame. Said fasteners are configured as a bracket member which is attached at its midpoint to the goal frame, substantially in the plane thereof, and which has both ends formed, by bending, into a nearly circular path to accept the goal net cord loops. The extremities of the loop accepting regions are designed to be spring-tight against the goal frame, thereby precluding the goal net from being readily removed. An alternate configuration is envisioned to include only one cord accepting region per fastener. |

DETAILED DESCRIPTION The nature of the invention herein described concerns the interrelationships and configurations of the combination of a sports goal net, having a plurality of cord loop portions, fabricated of rope or other types of material, a goal frame member, having one surface devoted to attachment of the goal net, and a plurality of hook or "no-tie" elements spaced apart on and rigidly affixed to the goal frame member, such that each accepts one of the cord loop portions of the goal net.
Present day goal nets, particularly those utilized in sports such as basketball, soccer, water polo, lacrosse, or hockey, are commonly made of cotton or nylon cord knotted in open mesh form, with the size of the mesh being based on the particular sport.
Such a net is hung from, or suspended between portions of, a goal frame of rigid, durable material.
Prior means of attaching the goal net to the goal frame included tying loose ends of the goal net mesh to the frame, and more recently by "no-tie" or hook means, around which loops of the cord goal net mesh are looped to hold the goal net in place.
In the present invention, a plurality of specially configured no-tie members, are rigidly affixed to the goal frame, spaced apart equally such that the goal net is appropriately attached to the goal frame.
Each such no-tie member is configured, in cross section forming a plane parallel to the longitudinal extent of the goal frame, such that an incomplete eye loop is formed at each extremity of the "no-tie" member.
The central portion of each "no-tie" member abuts the goal frame member and is held there by rigid attachment means.
Each incomplete eye loop depends from the central portion of the "no-tie" beginning in a direction normal to and away from the goal frame member and proceeding then in a circular path outwardly from the central portion until the loop approaches a tangential contact with the goal frame member.
The radius of curvature of such circular cross-section portion is slightly larger than that necessary for exact tangential contact in order that the tip of the "no-tie" shall remain in contact with the goal frame member, except when the cord loop of the goal net is passed through from the exterior to a position within the eye loop
