Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to a simple basketball hoop, and more particularly to a fastener for installing a basketball hoop and a basketball hoop having the fastener. Background Technology

[0002] With the increasing global pursuit of healthy lifestyles and increased investment in sports facilities, the market demand for simple, height-adjustable basketball hoops continues to grow. Traditional basketball hoops often use fixed structures and relatively simple materials. Today, to meet the needs of different users, height-adjustable basketball hoops have become one of the mainstream products on the market. These hoops can easily adjust the height of the basket according to the user's age, height, and usage scenario, greatly improving their versatility.

[0003] A simple height-adjustable basketball hoop can have a manual or electric lifting system to adjust the height of the backboard and rim. Electric lifting systems use a motor and control system, requiring an external power supply and thus limited by price and available space. Currently, manual lifting systems may include a hand crank or hydraulic system, which is relatively complex. Alternatively, the height of the backboard and rim can be adjusted by changing the pin positions between the uprights; however, this requires reinstallation and is more complex to implement.
