Abstract
Description
- The field of this invention concerns a basket for basketball, and in particular a mechanism that allows the hoop of said basket to tilt after an inadvertent load has been applied to it.
- Indeed, recently in the field of basketball, baskets have been adopted that elastically absorb any inadvertent loads so as to prevent damaging the structure for fixing the basket and the board to which the basket is fixed.
- The accidental loads that can happen are those made by a basketball player when, during the game, he makes a basket by slamming the ball into the hoop, or else when, generally after a slam dunk action, the player grips the hop and clings on to it.
- This type of stress on the hoop, if not absorbed and dissipated properly, can lead to a permanent deformation of the hoop and/or the basket, and in more serious cases to the breaking of the board, which is usually made of glass.
- There are numerous types of baskets on the market that are pliable or tilting.
- Nevertheless they have numerous drawbacks, like for example a complex construction, a high cost, the need for continual maintenance, and the fair to modest results attained.
- Such limits and/or drawbacks of pliable baskets have meant that up until now they have had only limited success: in fact they require, after a considerable financial outlay, also continual upkeep and/or lubrication so as not to block (we should remember that many of these baskets are applied to structures in the open air), and frequent calibration operations for maintaining its performance at an acceptable level.
- We should point out that recently we have witnessed a more evolved approach to the aspect of safety and to a desire for improved performances from sports equipment.
- Also for the above-mentioned reasons a different type of kinematic motion has been adopted for a simpler construction, for safe use and limited maintenance; still, the devices on the market have not satisfactorily met all these requirements.
- Current baskets are generally fitted with a spring that allows a hoop, after an excessive load has been applied, to tilt downwards and to later come back up to its horizontal position.
- This spring, or another equivalent elastic device, is sufficient to respond to a stress applied to the part of the hoop furthest away from the board, however it is inadequate if the same stress is applied to the intermediate part of the hoop or the part nearest the board.
- The purpose of the invention set out in this patent is to overcome the drawbacks explained above and those that are explained further on in this description.
- The basket in this patent is essentially composed of a base structure, joined to the board, and a tilting part to which the hoop is fixed, with the tilting part hinged to the base structure for tilting downwards in an axis parallel to the board, where this movement counteracted by the action of one or more springs, and with the tilting part hinged to the base structure for tilting downwards in an orthogonal axis to the board, with this movement counteracted by the action of a torsion bar.
- This configuration is one that provides a simpler construction and a more compact size; nevertheless it is evident that an alternative arrangement of the above-mentioned elastic devices for countering and absorbing any accidental loads has to be considered to be included.
- The base structure includes a C-shaped fixed plate, fixed to the board in its centre, and at the free end of the wings of the C-shaped plate, on the upper part, there is a housing for the hinging of a support plate, which is part of the tilting part.
- The hinging along an axis parallel to the board between the fixed plate and the support plate allows the hoop to tilt downwards.
- It is important that this hinging is placed on the outermost part furthest away from the base structure, so that the tilting of the hoop is comparable to a rotational movement of the hoop through an axis parallel to the board and practically at a tangent to the external profile of the hoop itself.
- The movement between the fixed plate and the support plate is countered by an elastic element and in particular by one or more springs. Advantageously, the position of these springs is next to the fixing position between the board and the base structure, further away from the hinging point between the fixed plate and the support plate, because springs can be used with a low value elastic constant.
- The basketball hoop is suitably joined in the part near the board to a "front basket plate" that supports it, by means of the interposition of a torsion bar, at the end facing the board of the support plate.
- It is important that the axis of the torsion bar is perpendicular to the board and essentially passing through the plane defined by the hoop or just below it. In this way the tilting of the hoop is limited and there is no lateral translation.
- To prevent the torsion bar from being subjected to bending stress, the torsion bar is placed inside a tubular piece that practically absorbs all those stresses that act on the hoop, which would work on bending the torsion bar.
- This tubular piece unloads the above-mentioned stresses onto the support plate, which is joined to a "fixed front plate" that is parallel to the board and with a central through hole, through which the above-mentioned tubular piece passes.
- The support of this tubular piece, at the end opposite the one described of the fixed front plate, takes place using a block, which is also joined to the support plate that has a circular housing, inside which said tubular piece is housed and that proceeds with a concentric through hole inside which one end of the torsion bar is fixed.
- From the structure of the tilting device we can see that the movement of the hoop along an axis perpendicular to the board has the advantage of being carried out by placing the elements that rotate with greater encumbrance around this axis against the outer part (furthest from the board), resulting in a particular compactness of the whole device, including inside the fixed structure.
- It is clear from the description above that the two tilting movements, the one with an axis parallel to the board and the other one with an axis perpendicular to the board, very often occur at the same time, making the hoop therefore take on an oblique position with respect to an axis parallel to the board and oblique with respect to an axis perpendicular to the board.
- The above-mentioned device can be easily understood from a preferred example, and not limited to this only, with reference to the enclosed diagrams.
- Further characteristics and advantages can be found in the detailed description of a particular form, illustrated in the attached designs where:

Fig. 16 shows a cross section offig. 4 along the A-A plane fixed infig. 2 . - With reference to the diagrams, the basket is composed essentially of two parts, the
hoop 1 and the relative parts for reinforcing and for holding the net underneath (not shown), and the other support part that when fixed to the board supports the hoop. - The support unit is composed of a fixed part or a
base structure 2, which is fixed to the board (not shown) by means of four bolts passing through fourholes 3 specially made on the side to be placed against the board. - This
base structure 2 is C-shaped, and has housings on the two wings for the hinging 4 of the tiltingpart 5 of the support assembly. - The tilting
part 5, can, under the action of a load applied to thehoop 1, tilt downwards along an axis parallel to the board and passing through thehinges 4 housed in the above-mentioned housings on the free wings of thebase structure 2. - These
hinges 4 are fixed near the outer part of two flat elements 6, juxtaposed on the inner surface of the wings of the C-shaped base structure 2; these flat parts are joined to one another at the top by atop plate 25, and on the front by afront plate 24, practically closing the space left open between the two wings of the C-shaped base structure 2, both on the top and at the front. - If necessary, the two flat elements 6 and the
relative top plate 25 that joins them can be a single element of suitably moulded and folded sheet metal. - A
lower casing 7, completes the closure of the support assembly, making the device completely secure from a safety regulations viewpoint. - Underneath the
top plate 25, which makes up the top closure of the tilting part, in the part facing the board there are two pins 8 that can rotate, which, following any tilting of the hoop downwards on an axis parallel to the board, are pulled upwards, compressing themechanical springs 9 on the same axis as them. - This compression of the above-mentioned
springs 9 takes place between the lower free end of said pins (suitably threaded, on which a nut has been screwed, not shown) and astriker 10 fixed to thebase structure 2 and fitted with holes, in which said pins 8 slide freely, and which act as a stop for the above-mentionedmechanical springs 9. - These pins 8 are threaded at their lower end, thereby providing a regulation of the preload of the
springs 9, after the nuts (not shown) have been screwed onto them. - It is clear that following the maximum compression of the
springs 9, thestriker 10 fixed to thebase structure 2 acts also as a stop at the maximum tilting movement of thehoop 1 downwards in an axis parallel to the board. - These pins 8 are hinged 11 on the top, fixed to a
bushing 12 hinged between a flat element 6 of the tilting part and ablock 13 fixed to thetop plate 25 in the middle on the side that faces the inside of thetilting part 5. - This
small block 13, in addition to having the housings of the hinging of the above-mentionedbushings 12, is also the fixing of an end of thetorsion bar 14. - This
torsion bar 14, fixed on one part to saidblock 13 is also joined to thehoop 1 at its other end by means of a plate, called a "basket front plate" 15. - To avoid the torsion bar being subjected to flexion stress, it is jacketed inside a sleeve.
- The above-mentioned sleeve, 16 goes through a hole in the
front plate 24, which joins the two flat elements 6 of thetilting part 5 at the front, and lies, free to rotate, with its opposite end inside acircular housing 17 in the above-mentioned block. - This
sleeve 16, joined to the end of thetorsion bar 14 fixed to thebasket front plate 15, follows its rotational movements. - A
metal sheet 18, configured as a semi-circle, which acts as a strengthening element as an underneath support to prop up the hoop it is fixed to, is joined to thebasket front plate 15 and projects towards the overhang of thehoop 1. - This
metal sheet 18 ensures a stable fixing of thehoop 1 to thebasket front plate 15, and also makes the hoop more robust, preventing any permanent deformations of the hoop itself. - The
basket front plate 15 is placed against thefront plate 24, which unites the two flat elements 6 at the front, and rotates joined to thehoop 1, with an axis of rotation that coincides with the axis of thetorsion bar 14. - The rotation of the
hoop 1 with an axis that is perpendicular to the board is limited by astop 19, joined to thefront plate 24 and protruding from it, inside a groove of the basketfront plate 15, whose ends make up the stop wings for limiting said rotation of thehoop 1. - To ensure a precise and quick return to the horizontal position of the
hoop 1 following rotation along an axis perpendicular to the board, and to allow said rotation only after a fixed minimum stress, there is a striker with a V-shaped groove on the front plate 24 (on the side facing the board) in which asphere 20 is pushed by aspring 21. - The
sphere 20 and thespring 21 are housed inside asmall cylinder 22 that is open on the side of the sphere, acylinder 22 that is joined to and held at a suitable distance from said sleeve 16 (inside which is housed the torsion bar 14) by aflat spacer 23. - This
cylinder 23 is made to rotate, by means of theflat spacer 23, by the rotation of thelug 16, but because of the initial opposition of thesphere 20 to come out of the housing with the V-shaped groove into which it is pushed by thespring 21, there is the initial necessary resistance to the tilting so that the rotation only occurs after stresses that exceed a certain minimum value. - This above-mentioned device, composed of the
sphere 20 pushed by aspring 21 into a striker or V-shaped housing, in addition to being a threshold device for the stress exceeding which the tilting of the hoop occurs, it also has the function of quickly and precisely bringing back the basketball hoop to a horizontal position. - From the example described above we can appreciate the value of the device in the patent, the compactness, the performance, the ease of adjustment, the safety, the minimal maintenance, the limited shifting or translation of the hoop when tilting.
