  • the top bar 3 includes three (or more) telescoping tubes.
  • the connecting ends of the tubes may have non-round cross-sectional shapes that can prevent the tubes from rotating relative to each other, which can make it easier to assemble the releasable locking structure.
  • the third support bar 12 has a similar telescoping structure as the top bar 3.
  • a first inclined support bar 5 is disposed between the first vertical bar 20 and the first support bar 10.
  • a second inclined support bar 6 is disposed between the second vertical bar 21 and the second support bar 11.
  • the first inclined support bar 5 includes a upper section 50 with its upper end pivotally connected to a point along the first vertical bar 20, and a lower section 51 with its lower end pivotally connected to a point along the first support bar 10.
  • the upper section 50 and lower section 51 of the first inclined support bar are joined together by a seventh folding joint 46.
  • the second inclined support bar 6 includes a upper section 60 and a lower section 61 joined together by an eighth folding joint 47.
  • the second inclined support bar 6 is connected to the second vertical bar 21 and the second support bar 11 in a similar manner that the first inclined support bar 5 is connected to the bars 20 and 10.
  • each folding joint includes a first connecting member 400 and a second connecting member 401 respectively connected to the two bars that are being joined, a shaft (not visible in Fig. 3 ) passing through them to act as the pivotal axis, and a hand-operable turn knob 402 (a locking member) at the end of the shaft.
  • the first and second connecting members 400 and 401, the shaft, and the locking member 402 cooperate with each other to press the first and second connecting members 400 and 401 against each other to prevent their relative rotation.
  • the shaft is a threaded shaft that engages internal threads of the first connecting member 400 and/or the second connecting member 401, and the turn knob is formed integrally with the shaft and can turn the shaft to press the two connecting members against each other.
  • the shaft is threadedly engaged with internal threads of the turn knob 402, and cooperate with the turn knob to press the first connecting member 400 and second connecting member 401 against each other.
  • the faces of the first connecting member 400 and second connecting member 401 that contact each other may be provided with radially extending teeth which help prevent the two connecting members from rotating relative to each other after they are pressed tightly against each other. This enhances the stability and safety of the goal frame after deployment.
