  • Illuminable basketball rim assembly and associated method
    Patent number: 7758456
    Abstract: An illuminable basketball rim assembly includes an anchor member that has a hollow cavity filled with a weight agent. A support pole is coupled to the anchor member and extends upwardly therefrom, and has a distal end positioned anterior to the anchor member. A rim section is positioned at the distal end of the support pole. A mechanism illuminates the rim section and the support pole when an external force is applied to the rim section. A mechanism maintains the support pole at a stable and equilibrium position such that the distal end of the support pole is prohibited from displacing downwardly beyond a predefined height.
