The present invention is related to a foldable basketball stand, especially a foldable basketball stand capable of quick disassembling and assembling, storage space saving, and easy to carry.
A conventional outdoor basketball stand usually is composed of a backboard having a hoop and a supporting stand. For a basketball stand of a shooting machine used indoors, in order to have sufficient support strength, the length of the support frame between the hoop and the shooter is divided into two stages, so that after the basketball thrown by the shooter touches the hoop or the backboard, the basketball can roll rearward and downward through an inclined net surface, allowing the shooter to shoot continuously.
However, the above basketball stand is mainly fixed and assembled by several metal tubes and flat plates. The assembly process is slow. And the overall volume after assembled has been fixed. Due to the inconvenience of folding, it is not only inconvenient to carry but also occupies huge storage space. Accordingly, the present invention has developed a new design which may avoid the above described drawbacks, may take into account economic considerations. Therefore, the present invention then has been invented.
One object of the present invention is to provide a foldable basketball stand which can solve the problems of conventional basketball stand of slow assembly and disassembly speed and huge storage space occupied. The foldable basketball stand is the combination of the supporting rods and the connecting joints, which can achieve quick assembly and disassembly, and can effectively save storage space after disassembly and facilitate the carrying.
