Abstract
A portable sporting goal (10) comprising a net (16) removably attached to a framework (11). The framework (11) has a plurality of substantially hollow tubular frame members (14A), comprising a pair of ends having an inner surface. Each inner surface comprises substantially cylindrical and substantially non-cylindrical inner surface portions. The frame members are joined by a plurality of mating connectors (12B) comprising a pair of ends having an outer surface. Each outer surface comprises substantially cylindrical and substantially non-cylindrical outer surface portions. The outer surface is configured to slidingly engage within the inner surface when in substantial alignment. At least one of the surfaces is made from a resilient material, so that the frame member (14A) is rotatable about the slidingly engaged mating connector (12B), thereby increasing a frictional force between the tubular frame member (14A) inner surface and the mating connector (12B) outer surface.
Claims
AMENDED CLAIMS
[received by the International Bureau on 1 December 1998 (01.12.98); original claims 16-19 and 28-33 cancelled; original claims 20-27 renumbered as claims 16-23; remaining claims unchanged (5 pages)]
13. The sporting goal framework of claim 6, wherein said mating connector has a C-shaped end adapted to clamp substantially perpendicular to a longitudinal axis and around an external surface of a tubular frame member.
14. The sporting goal framework of claim 6, wherein said mating connector is adapted to interconnect tubular frame members at a predetermined angle.
15. The sporting goal framework of claim 6, wherein said substantially non-cylindrical sections comprise ridges .
16. A portable sporting goal comprising: a framework comprising a plurality of tubular frame members interconnected by mating connectors, said mating connectors comprising an outer surface, a substantially non- cylindrical outer surface located on said outer surface, and a non-deformed shape, said tubular frame members being substantially cylindrical and comprising an inner surface, a longitudinal axis, a substantially non-cylindrical inner surface located on said inner surface, and a non-deformed shape, said outer surface adapted to mate with said inner surface when said substantially non-cylindrical inner and outer surfaces are substantially in registration with each other, said inner surface adapted to grip against said outer surface when said tubular frame member is rotated about said longitudinal axis with respect to said mating connector causing said substantially non- cylindrical inner and outer surfaces to no longer be in registration with each other, whereby a frictional force which resists separation of said mating connector and said tubular frame member is increased; and wherein a plurality of first connecting means are affixed at various strategic locations to said framework; and
31
a net comprising a plurality of second connecting means adapted to mate closely with said first connecting means, said second connecting means being brought into close contact with said framework such that said first and second connecting means mate, thereby substantially affixing said net to said framework.
17. T e portable sporting goal of claim 20, wherein said tubular frame members and mating connectors are coupled by an elastic cord which maintains connection between adjacent mating connectors and tubular frame members when said sporting goal is in a collapsed state .
is. The portable sporting goal of claim 20, wherein said mating connector is adapted to interconnect tubular frame members at a predetermined angle .
19. The portable sporting goal of claim 20, wherein said substantially non-cylindrical sections are substantially flat.
20. The sporting goal of claim 20, wherein said substantially non-cylindrical sections comprise ridges.
21. A kit of parts for a sporting goal comprising: a framework comprising a plurality of tubular frame members interconnected by a plurality of mating connectors, said mating connectors comprising an outer surface, a substantially non-cylindrical outer surface
32
located on said outer surface, and a non-deformed shape, said tubular frame members comprising an inner surface, a longitudinal axis, a substantially non-cylindrical inner surface located on said inner surface, and a non-deformed shape, said outer surface adapted to mate with said inner surface when said substantially non-cylindrical inner and outer surfaces are substantially in registration with each other, said inner surface adapted to grip against said outer surface when said tubular frame member is rotated about said longitudinal axis with respect to said mating connector causing said substantially non-cylindrical inner and outer surfaces to no longer be in registration with each other, whereby a frictional force which resists separation of said mating connector and said tubular frame member is increased; and wherein a plurality of first connecting means are affixed at various strategic locations to said framework; and a net comprising a plurality of second connecting means adapted to mate closely with said first connecting means, said second connecting means being brought into close contact with said framework such that said first and second connecting means mate.
22. The kit of parts o-f claim 25, further comprising an upright support structure comprising said tubular frame members interconnected by said mating connectors, said upright support structure adapted to span across an area occupied by said net .
23 . A framework comprising:
33
a plurality of first interconnecting components , each comprising at least one end comprising an inner surface, said inner surface comprising a substantially cylindrical inner surface portion and a substantially non- cylindrical inner surface portion,* and a plurality of second interconnecting components, each comprising at least one end comprising an outer surface, said outer surface comprising a substantially cylindrical outer surface portion and a substantially non- cylindrical outer surface portion, said outer surface of said second interconnecting component configured to slidingly engage within said inner surface of said first interconnecting component when said substantially non-cylindrical outer surface portion is in substantial alignment with said substantially non-cylindrical inner surface portion, wherein at least one of said inner surface of said first interconnecting component and said outer surface of said second interconnecting component comprises a resilient material; said first and second interconnecting components being rotatable about each other after said sliding engagement such that said substantially non- cylindrical outer surface portion of second interconnecting component is not in substantial alignment with said substantially non-cylindrical inner surface portion of said first interconnecting component, thereby increasing a frictional force between said first interconnecting component inner surface and said second interconnecting component outer surface.
