- the lower member has a first portion slidably mounted in a second portion between a retracted position in said second portion and a raised position out of said second portion.
- the base forming in particular a storage box whose lid is integral in rotation with the lower member to allow storage of the structure in said box when said lower member is returned to the folded position .
- this structure is not entirely satisfactory, in that its structure remains relatively complicated. Moreover, to ensure its maintenance in the use position, the structure has only oblique arms rotatably mounted on the base and on the lower element and intended to be deployed during the passage of said lower element in erect position, which is not enough to prevent vertical tilting.
- the invention aims to improve the prior art by proposing in particular a play structure easy to mount for use and which, in folded storage position, has a minimal footprint and is easy to carry, and while ensuring a good maintenance in position of use to avoid any risk of tipping.
- the invention provides a play structure for the practice of basketball, comprising a base disposed in support on the ground, as well as:
- FIGS. 2 and 2 show a game structure according to the invention in which the lower element is in an erect position, respectively in perspective (FIG. 2a) and from the side (FIG. 2b);
