  • Patent number: 5524881
    Abstract: A basketball training apparatus for practicing "outside shooting" and including a rim and attached net supported by a supporting frame structure so that the rim is maintained in a horizontal orientation at a regulation height above the floor and in a manner unobstructed by the supporting structure so as to simulate the reaction to ball impact and the appearance of a conventionally supported basketball rim. The supporting frame structure includes individual frame members and frame connectors for attaching the frame members at opposite ends to define a base and upwardly extending legs attachable to connecting elements on the rim. The connecting elements each include a cup having an open end adapted to receive an upper end zone of the legs therein and a rod extension of reduced diameter interconnecting between the cup and the rim and structured to support and maintain the rim in spaced, unobstructed relation above the cups and frame structure.
