  • Patent number: 5997420
    Abstract: A net device for a ball game and for securing on a frame includies a woven outer member disposed in the peripheral portion for securing to the frame of the ball game. A resilient member is secured to the peripheral portion or engaged in the woven outer member of the net for increasing the resilience of the net and for allowing the net to be easily attached to the frame of the goal of the ball game. The resilient peripheral portion of the net may be used for absorbing the vibrations and shocks that may be transmitted to the net for preventing the net from being easily damaged by balls and players.
