Abstract
A target is provided for hitting or throwing balls and other objects for sport practice sessions or games. The target includes a plurality of foldable arms with a connected net which can be moved between open and closed positions by pulling and pushing a handle connected to the arms. In the open position, the target forms an inverted umbrella. A front face is attached to the net and has a plurality of openings through which the balls or objects can pass forth.
Description
- The present invention is directed towards a target net used for sports practice and games. The target net is particularly adapted for golf chipping practice.
- Various types of nets are known in the prior art to receive balls and other objects hit or thrown by a person practicing a sport or playing a game. Such target nets are often large and cumbersome to set up, and do not fold down compactly for storage or transportation. Some target nets require lines staked to the ground to maintain the net upright, while others include a self-supporting frame. Such frames often include multiple separate pieces which must be assembled and disassembled to set up or take down the net. These multiple component target nets take time to assemble and disassemble, and are subject to lost pieces.
- Therefore, a primary objective of the present invention is the provision of an improved target net for receiving balls and objects hit or thrown into the net.
- Another objective of the present invention is the provision of a target net which can be quickly and easily folded between a use position and a storage position.
- A further objective of the present invention is the provision of an improved target net which is self-contained.
- Yet another objective of the present invention is the provision of an improved target net which is integrally assembled without loose or separate pieces.
- Still another objective of the present invention is the provision of a target net which can be used for golf chipping.
- Another objective of the present invention is the provision of a target net which can be used for sport practice and for games.
- Still another objective of the present invention is the provision of a golf net having a front face with multiple target openings through which an object can be hit or thrown.
- Yet another objective of the present invention is the provision of a target net which retains balls and other objects hit or thrown into the net.
- A further objective of the present invention is the provision of a golf chipping net which is in the form of an inverted umbrella.
- Another objective of the present invention is the provision of a golf chipping net having arms which are foldable between open and closed positions by one simple move.
- Still another objective of the present invention is the provision of a golf chipping net which is self-standing.
- Another objective of the present invention is the provision of an improved target net which is economical to manufacture and durable in use.
- These and other objectives will become apparent from the following description of the invention.
- The target net of the present invention quickly and easily folds between open and closed positions through a sliding actuation handle. In the open position, the net has a front face with a plurality of openings through which a ball or other object may be hit or thrown by a person practicing a sport, such as golf, or playing a game, such as a bean bag toss. The net is attached to arms which expand to the open position and collapse to the closed position upon actuation of the handle. In the open position, the net is in a form of an inverted umbrella, and is self-standing. In the closed position, the net is compact for storage and transportation.

FIG. 1 is a front elevation view of the target net of the present invention in an open position. -
FIG. 2 is a rear elevation view of the target net in an open position. -
FIG. 3 is a side elevation view of the net in an open position. -
FIG. 4 is a view of the net folded down into a closed position. -
FIG. 5 is a view of the arms in an open position. -
FIG. 6 is a side elevation view of the net hardware in an open position. -
FIG. 7 is a side elevation view of the net hardware in a closed position. - The target of the present invention is generally designated in the drawings by the
reference numeral 10. Thetarget 10 is foldable between an open position shown inFIGS. 1-3 and a closed position shown inFIG. 4 . - In the preferred embodiment, the
target 10 includes fourexpandable arms 12, anet 14, afront face 16, and anactuation handle 18. The inner ends of thearms 12 are pivotally connected to acenter support member 20. Thecenter support 20 includes four legs 22, with a slot in each leg 22 for receiving the inner end of therespective arms 12. Apin 24 extends through the leg 22 and inner end of thearm 12 to connect the arm to the respective leg of thecenter support 20. - Four
braces 26 extend between thearms 12 and asecond center support 28. More particularly, the outer end of eachbrace 26 is pinned to aclip 30 on thearm 12 so as to provide a pivotal connection between the outer end of thebrace 26 and the associatedarm 12. The inner end of eachbrace 26 extends into a slot in theleg 32 of thesecond support 28, and is pivotally connected thereto by apin 34. - The
handle 18 comprises an elongated rod slidably extending through thefirst center support 20 and having a forward end attached to thesecond center support 28. Ahand grip 36 is provided on the rearward end of thehandle 18. The front face includes an upper edge which is stitched, or otherwise attached or releasably secured to the top edge of thetarget 10. Thefront face 16 also has a bottom edge which is preferably releasably secured to the bottom edge of thetarget 10 using clips 38 on the lower corners of thefront face 16 and target 10.Holes 40 are provided in thefront face 16, withpockets 42 sewn or otherwise attached to thefront face 16 behind eachhole 40 so as to catch and retain a ball hit or thrown through one of theholes 40. Alower panel 44 extends along the bottom edge of thetarget 10 so as to form a trap to retain balls that hit thefront face 16 falls downwardly without passing through one of theholes 40, or which are hit or thrown into thenet 14 on the opposite sides of thefront face 16. - It is understood that the
front face 16 is optional and need not be provided for a person to use thetarget 10, by simply hitting or throwing a ball or object into thenet 14. The front face may also be decorated or printed in any desired manner, such as with a picture or team or school name or logo. - When the
handle 18 is pushed forward, the rod slides through thefirst center support 20 and folds thearms 12 forwardly into the closed position. Abushing 37 may be provided between thehand grip 36 and the first center support 20 so as to limit the forward stroke of thehandle 18 when thetarget 10 is folded to the closed position. Thehandle 18 is pulled rearwardly to expand thearms 12 and thereby open thetarget 10. Abushing 35 resides on thehandle 18 between the first andsecond supports handle 18. When thetarget 10 is moved from the closed position to the open position, thebraces 26 move slightly over center, similar to the braces of a conventional umbrella, so that the target remains in the open position without additional straps, connectors, pins, or the like. - The
target 10 is particularly suited for golf chipping. Thetarget 10 can also be used for baseball or softball pitching practice, football passing practice, or games such as a bean bag toss. The size of theholes 40 in thefront face 16 may vary, with points assigned to each hole. - The invention has been shown and described above with the preferred embodiments, and it is understood that many modifications, substitutions, and additions may be made which are within the intended spirit and scope of the invention. From the foregoing, it can be seen that the present invention accomplishes at least all of its stated objectives.
