Ball catching net apparatus

摘要

A ball catching net apparatus which has a back net from which extends, in a parallel relationship, sidewalls with a top wall interconnecting between the parallel sidewalls. The top wall, sidewalls and the back wall define a ball confining area. Within this ball confining area is located a pair of downwardly extending nets which are mounted on a mounting frame. Each of the downwardly extending nets can be used separately or together in order to achieve maximum absorption of the energy from the ball that is being directed into these nets. The mounting frame is to be pivotable between an extended position and a retracted position with the retracted position being located directly against the back net. Both of the downwardly extending nets are to be rolled up, each on a roller, into a storing position on the mounting frame. The mounting frame includes a forward extension which is separately pivotable relative to the remaining portion of the mounting frame and it is on this forward extension that one of the downwardly extending nets is mounted. The sidewalls of the ball catching net apparatus as well as the top wall can be folded into juxtaposition with the back net when the net apparatus is not being used.
