  • Patent number: 5192080
    Abstract: A reduced sized backboard has a corresponding sized reduced hoop supported thereon and also has an integral handle depending from the lower end thereof which allows a person to hand-hold the backboard in an upright position and maneuver it so that a reduced sized ball traveling toward the person can by skill of the person be caused to pass through the hoop. The handle also has an integral downward angled extension providing abutted emgagement against the wrist for steadying the hand-hold of the backboard. This angled extension has a releasable strap for securement to the wrist. The hoop is hingedly connected to the backboard and the handle has a hinge between its ends whereby the hoop and handle can be folded against the backboard for compacting the game for shipment and storage. The handle is removable from the backboard to allow the backboard to be mounted on a stationary support if desired.
