Problems solved by technology

[0003] However, all the solutions proposed so far have some disadvantages, because these solutions either require the boundary of the swimming pool to be corrected, or the basket is too close to the boundary and may injure the players, or do not have the necessary stability and ability to play in the game.

Embodiment Construction

[0008] As shown in the figures, the floating basketball basket according to the invention is formed by a platform 10 on which at least two rods 11 supporting a backboard 12 are fixed; on which a basketball basket 13 is fixed.

[0009] The platform 10 can have any shape and size (such as U-shaped, circular, rectangular, elliptical, etc., which either has a continuous surface or a simple frame with the above-mentioned shapes) within the scope that can meet the purpose of use, and is formed by floating material.

[0010] Preferably, all edges floating above or below the water surface are rounded so as not to injure the athlete; these edges may preferably be further protected with suitable padding (eg inner tubes) for better protection.

[0011] The platform may have fixing points 14 (eg two loops) which allow the platform to be anchored to the swimming pool boundary (at one or more locations) by suitable fixing means (ropes, chains and the like).

[0012] The rod 11 is solid or ...

Abstract

A bascketball basket, fixed to a floating platform, useful for practising water sports, is described.

Description

field of invention [0001] The present invention relates to water sports articles, and more particularly to a floating basketball hoop which enables a basketball-like game to be played in water. Background technique [0002] Aquatic games similar to basketball, especially in swimming pools, are known and various solutions have been described for fixing the position of the backboard and the basket relative to the water level (see for example FR 2632198, US 3656749, US 3743286). [0003] However, all the solutions proposed so far have some disadvantages, because these solutions either require the boundary of the swimming pool to be corrected, or the basket is too close to the boundary and may injure the players, or do not have the necessary stability and ability to play in the game. All the necessary features for practical use. Contents of the invention [0004] The inventor's aim was to eliminate the problems described above, so as to be able to use a structure that is abs...
