Adjustable flexible sports net system

摘要

And adjustable sports net system comprising a plurality of ground anchors (105), two standard assemblies (108), elastic guy line assemblies (107) connecting the ground anchors to the standards, and a net fabric (101) disposed between the two standard assemblies. The net fabric (101) is adjustable in length and height, independent of initial placement of the standard assemblies (108). The standard assemblies (108) may deflect substantially upon impact from a game object (503) but return to a nominal position because of the elastic spring elements (110) in the guy line assemblies (107). The energy from such impact is absorbed over a longer time period, and the peak forces are kept lower for use of cheap, light materials, for system that is lightweight, fast to set up by a single person, and cost effective to manufacture. A safety structure provides protection to the consumer from inadvertent pullout of each ground anchor (105).

主权项

1. A stabilization system for stabilizing an object in a nominal position relative to a surface, said stabilization system comprising:
a) at least one stabilization assembly, each said stabilization assembly comprising at least one spring element, said spring element able to elongate and contract in reaction to an impact on said object, said stabilization assembly further comprising a first attachment means for attaching at least a first portion of said stabilization assembly to said surface, and a second attachment means for attaching a second portion of said stabilization assembly to said object, whereby said stabilization system restores said object substantially to said nominal position relative to said surface without additional intervention.
