Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a basket support structure for ball games, in particular basketball.
  • Hitherto such structures include one or more generally horizontal beams, at the end of which is fixed a vertical panel, on which is mounted a basket.
  • the structure and more particularly the panel and the basket are subjected to violent tensile and shearing forces, in particular when the player hangs on the basket ring, for example when he performs a "smash".
  • a first solution consists in providing a trigger basket, that is to say an articulated basket.
  • a metal rod connects the basket ring to the panel and is hinged to the panel so that the player can hang from the basket without twisting or exerting stress on the support structure.
  • a cylinder articulated at its ends on the panel and on the rod, ensures the return of the basket to its horizontal position.
  • a second solution consists in mounting the panel in an articulated manner, the panel returning to the vertical position, for example by means of a jack.
  • FIG. 1 of the accompanying drawing is shown a conventional basket support structure 1 intended in particular for outdoor basketball courts.
  • This structure 1 is mounted on a vertical post 2 fixed at one of its ends in the ground and comprises two parallel horizontal beams 3 mounted in the vicinity of the other end of the pole 2, said horizontal beams 3 supporting a panel 4.
  • the panel 4 supports the ring 5 of a basket 6 via a rod 7.
  • Such a structure is relatively low cost and easy to produce.
  • the structure is subject to significant stresses, in particular at the points of connection of the rod 7 with the ring 5 and the panel 4 and at the points of attachment of the panel 4 with the horizontal beams 3.
  • the present invention aims to achieve a basket support structure, simple and economical, capable of withstanding significant tensile and shear forces.
  • the subject of the present invention is a basket support structure for ball games, in particular basketball games, capable of being mounted on a fixed support, such as a post or a wall, said structure comprising at least one substantially horizontal spar which supports a panel and a basket, and being characterized in that the horizontal beam (s) are integral with the ring of the basket and preferably made integrally with it.
  • the ring and the side member (s) therefore form a non-removable assembly, which provides greater rigidity to the structure.
  • the tensile and shear forces to which the basket ring is subjected are directly transmitted by the beam (s) to the fixed support.
  • the basket support structure comprises at least one inclined spar integral with one of its ends with the basket ring or alternatively with the horizontal spar (s), and by the other end with the fixed support.
  • the basket support structure comprises two inclined beams connected to the ring symmetrically with respect to the center of the ring.
  • the two inclined beams which are connected to the ring at diametrically opposite points make it possible to reduce the torsion of the ring relative to the horizontal beam or beams.
  • the inclined beams which are connected to the ring may have a smaller section in the vicinity of the ring.
  • the basket support structure comprises two horizontal beams integral at one end with the basket ring symmetrically with respect to a vertical plane passing through the center of the ring.
  • bars advantageously interconnect the horizontal beams.
  • the basket support structure comprises inclined beams and horizontal beams integral with the ring, it is advantageous for the points of attachment of the various beams to the ring to be distinct so as to better distribute the forces to which the ring.
  • bars connect the inclined beam (s) to the horizontal beam (s) and / or to the basket ring.
  • each bar joins the bar adjacent to one of its ends.
  • the panel is embedded on the horizontal beam (s), perpendicular to the latter.
  • the panel is no longer subjected to the tensile and shear forces to which the ring is subjected.
  • the panel comprises at least one housing in its lower part, for mounting on the horizontal beam (s).
  • the basket support structure comprises at least one strut forming a strut which connects the panel to the horizontal beam (s), to stiffen the assembly and to prevent any pivoting of the panel, in particular when the ball bounces on it or when the wind makes it oscillate.
  • the structure comprises two such spacers arranged symmetrically with respect to the vertical plane passing through the center of the basket and perpendicular to the panel.
  • the basket comprises two rings superimposed one on the other and integral with the horizontal beam (s).
  • a basket support structure 1 mounted on a vertical post 2 fixed at one of its ends in the ground.
  • the structure 1 comprises two pairs of parallel longitudinal members 3 a and 3 b respectively horizontal and inclined fixed in the vicinity of the other end of the post 2, the longitudinal members of each pair being fixed on either side of the post 2.
  • the inclined longitudinal members 3 b are connected parallel to the parallel horizontal beams 3 has through vertical rods 3c.
  • the inclined beams 3 b are directly integral with the horizontal beams 3 a .
  • the structure 1 also comprises a panel 4 embedded on the parallel horizontal beams 3 a and a basket 6 whose ring 5 is integral, preferably in one piece with the free ends of the parallel horizontal beams 3 a .
  • Bars 7 of the same inclination as the parallel inclined beams 3 b are fixed at their ends to the free ends of said inclined beams 3 b and under the ring 5 of the basket 6 on either side of the center of the ring 5 on a diameter.
  • the beams 3 a and 3 b have for example a diameter equal to 40 mm.
  • two rings 5 are superimposed on each other, each having a thickness equal to 20 mm so that that the total thickness of the two rings 5 is equal to the diameter of the horizontal beams 3 a of which they are integral.
  • the bars 7 have a diameter of 20 mm, because they must be attached under the lower ring 5 which is only 20 mm thick.
  • the bars 7 are fixed at diametrically opposite points of the ring 5 and that the two horizontal beams 3 a must be spaced apart by a distance less than the diameter of the ring 5 in order to be connected to the ring at the 'rear of it, the bars 7 are not in the same vertical plane as the horizontal and inclined beams 3 a and 3 b .
  • bars 8 connect the two horizontal beams 3 a to each other.
  • Bars 8 ' connect the bars 7 to the vertical bars 3 c , to the horizontal beams 3 a and to a section of the ring 5 so as to stiffen the assembly. It is preferable, as shown in Figures 2 and 3, to arrange these bars 8 and 8 'at an angle and to make them meet at their ends.
  • the panel 4 has two vertical housings 9 in its lower part for the engagement of the panel on the two horizontal beams 3 a .
  • a bracket 10 is fixed to the rear 4 a of the panel 4 horizontally and just above the two vertical housings 9.
  • the bracket 10 has many fixing points so as to stiffen the connection between the bracket 10 and the panel 4.
  • Two welded legs 11 in the shape of a U are mounted vertically under the bracket 10 while being situated in a horizontal plane so that each of the side walls of the legs 11 come along the side walls of the housings 9.
  • other fixing means than the bracket 10 and the legs 11 can be envisaged.
  • Screws 12 pass through each of the side walls of the tabs 11 so as to block the horizontal beams 3a between the bracket 10 and said screws 12 when the panel is embedded on said horizontal beams 3 a ( Figure 4).
  • the lower parts of the lateral walls of the legs 11 are folded over the horizontal beams 3 a so as to stiffen the assembly.
  • Each strut 13 is connected to the horizontal beam 3 is that it is the closest, to a certain distance from the place where embedded the panel 4 on said horizontal beams 3 a .
