  • Equal tensioned game net assembly
    Patent number: 4153247
    Abstract: A game net assembly for raising and lowering game nets to proper elevations by a tensioning ratchet positioned away from the playing area. The tensioning ratchet is affixed to a floating sleeve and hence is capable of putting the same tension on the upper and lower net cables. The net cables are received by the tensioning ratchet through the passageway created by mounting two uprights in parallel between a base plate and a top plate. A channel is slidably mounted for vertical movement along the rear side of the uprights and has a sleeve guide for receiving the sleeve affixed to a floating tensioning ratchet.
