Description

[Technical Field]

[0001] The present invention relates to a shooting training device. [Background technology]

[0002] In basketball games, there is known a basketball machine (also called a shooting machine) that uses a net to collect a ball shot toward a goal and then shoots (passes) the ball to a player, allowing the player to continue shooting practice (see, for example, Patent Document 1). In the basketball machine of Patent Document 1, the ball collected by the net is shot forward toward the player by a pair of passing rollers provided above and below the tip of the shooting port.

[0003] Each of the pair of passing rollers is driven by a motor, and in order to impart a backspin to the ball, the upper passing roller is controlled to rotate more slowly than the lower passing roller. This backspin is imparted to the ball to replicate the chest pass, a typical passing play in basketball, and utilizes the lift (Magnus effect) generated by the backspin to enable the ball to reach the player relatively far from the goal as quickly and in a straight line as possible.

[0004] In addition to basketball machines, baseball pitching machines are also well-known as machines that impart spin to the ball they shoot. Pitching machines often use either an arm type that simulates the pitcher's arm as the ball-shooting mechanism, or a roller type (rotor type, wheel type) that uses a pair or three or more rotating rollers, similar to the basketball machine described above. While arm types are limited to straight balls, roller types can shoot a variety of curveballs, and the two types are selected depending on the intended use.

[0005] Additionally, in recent years, an air-powered (air gun-type) pitching machine that uses compressed air to shoot the ball has been disclosed (see, for example, Patent Document 2). In the pitching machine of Patent Document 2, the ball is not rotating when it is shot out with compressed air, and if left as is, the ball's trajectory in the air will be irregular. Therefore, a motor-driven rotor and a pressing body that presses the ball are provided near the tip of the nozzle as ball rotation means for imparting spin to the ball. Basketball and baseball balls have different structures, and the speeds and flight distances imparted to each ball are also different. However, Patent Documents 1 and 2 have in common that they impart spin to the ball while compressing it, and that both the passing roller that imparts spin to the ball and the rotating body are driven by a motor. [Prior art documents] [Patent documents]

[0006] [Patent Document 1] U.S. Patent No. 5,776,018 [Patent Document 2] Japanese Patent Application Publication No. 2019-080684 Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]

[0007] However, the basketball machine of Patent Document 1 uses a pair of passing rollers driven by a motor to shoot the ball, while the pitching machine of Patent Document 2 uses an air gun-style shooting machine, which presents a challenge in that it is difficult for players to master the timing required for an actual game, which involves receiving a pass from a teammate while assessing the ball's movement and then shooting. Furthermore, both Patent Documents 1 and 2 apply pressure to the ball as it is shot to impart spin, which results in accumulated damage to the passing rollers, the rotating body, and the ball itself, resulting in relatively poor durability. Furthermore, both Patent Documents 1 and 2 have the challenge of requiring relatively complex mechanical control, since both the passing rollers and the rotating body that impart spin to the ball are driven by motors.

[0008] In view of the above-mentioned problems with the prior art, the present invention aims to provide a shooting training device that reproduces the reverse rotation of a ball in an actual pass play without compressing the ball, and that makes it easy for the trainee to master the timing from receiving to shooting. [Means for solving the problem]

[0009] In order to achieve the above object, the present invention is realized by the following configuration. (1) A first aspect of the present invention is a shooting training device comprising: a base; a ball launching section provided in front of the base for launching a ball toward a trainee; and a rotating roller provided above and in front of the ball launching section for contacting the upper end of the launched ball and imparting a reverse rotation to the ball.

[0010] (2) In the configuration of (1) above, the ball launcher may have a lower part rotatably supported on the base and an upper part including an arm that launches the ball.

[0011] (3) In the configuration of (1) or (2) above, the rotating roller may be unpowered.

[0012] (4) In any one of the configurations (1) to (3) above, the device may further include a net support section provided at the rear of the base that supports a net pole from which a net is suspended to retrieve balls shot by the practicer, and a goal pole removably attached to the base or the net support section, forming a goal for the practicer to shoot balls.

[0013] (5) In the configuration of (4) above, the net support part may have a lower connection part and an upper connection part on its back side for attaching the goal post, and the lower part of the goal post may be axially attached to the lower connection part, and the corresponding part of the goal post may be fastened to the upper connection part.

[0014] (6) In the configuration of (4) or (5) above, the goal posts may have a folding portion at a position that is higher than the top plate of the net support portion when the goal posts are erected on the net support portion. [Effects of the Invention]

[0015] According to the present invention, it is possible to provide a shooting training device that can reproduce the reverse rotation of a ball in an actual pass play without compressing the ball, and that can help a trainee to easily master the timing from receiving to shooting.

[0017] (Embodiment) A shooting training device 100 according to an embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. In the following description, the front side of the goal 4 will be referred to as the front, the back side of the goal 4 as the back, the right side as viewed from the goal 4 as the right side, and the left side as viewed from the goal 4 as the left side. In the following description, multiple identical components will be individually assigned reference numerals with branch numbers, but when a common description of identical components is provided, the branch numbers will be omitted.

[0018] The gist of shooting training device 100 is as follows: Shooting training device 100 comprises base 1, ball launching unit 2 provided in front of base 1 and for launching a ball toward the trainee, and rotating roller 5 provided above and in front of ball launching unit 2 and for contacting the upper end of the launched ball to impart a reverse rotation to the ball. Ball launching unit 2 has a lower portion rotatably supported by base 1 and an upper portion including arm 22 for launching the ball. The rotating roller is unpowered.

[0019] The shooting training device 100 is not limited to shooting practice for basketball, but can also be used for shooting practice in other ball sports derived from or similar to basketball. Examples of other ball sports include beach basketball, netball, korfball, and estoball, which have a basket or goalpost mounted high on a support pole like basketball, but do not have a backboard to bounce the shot ball. The following describes the shooting training device 100 when applied to basketball.

[0020] (Overall overview of the shooting training device) First, an overview of an example of a basketball shooting training device 100 will be described with reference to Figures 1 to 3. Shooting training device 100 includes a base 1, a ball launcher 2 provided in front of base 1 for launching balls toward a trainee, a net supporter 3 provided behind base 1 for supporting net poles 31 from which a net 32 is suspended for retrieving balls shot by the trainee, and a goal 4 having goal poles 41 detachably attached to base 1 or net supporter 3, at which the trainee shoots balls.

[0021] The base 1, on which the ball launching unit 2, net support unit 3, and goal 4 are placed, is preferably a cart-like structure with casters 11 (caster 11a on the front left, caster 11b on the rear left, caster 11c on the front right, and caster 11d on the rear right. Casters 11a and 11b are shown in FIGS. 1 and 3, caster 11d in FIG. 3, and caster 11c in FIG. 4, which will be described later) attached to its bottom. This allows the shooting training device 100 to be freely moved to a desired location. Furthermore, if casters 11 are provided, stoppers (not shown) may be provided on any of the casters 11, for example, caster 11b on the rear left and caster 11d on the rear right, to secure the shooting training device 100 in place.

[0022] The ball launcher 2 is provided in front of the base 1 and has an opening 21 that opens forward. When a ball is thrown into the opening 21 in a manner described below, the ball is launched forward by an arm 22 serving as a launching mechanism provided inside the ball launcher 2. The trainee receives the launched ball as a pass, and as balls are launched continuously, the trainee can perform consecutive shooting practice in response. As will be described in more detail below, a rotating roller 5 is provided above the opening 21 with which the ball launched by the arm 22 comes into contact and imparts reverse rotation.

[0023] Net support section 3 is provided at the rear of base 1 and supports net poles 31 (net pole 31a on the front left, net pole 31b on the rear left, net pole 31c on the front right, and net pole 31d on the rear right) and net 32 (net 32a on the front, net 32b on the rear, net 32c on the left, and net 32d on the right) suspended from net poles 31. Net support section 3 is formed so that the upper part is longer forward than the lower part in a side view, taking into account the inclination of net poles 31a and 31c when unfolding net 32 (see Figure 7 described below).

[0024] Since the shooting training device 100 for basketball is used as an example, all of the net posts 31 are deployed in front of the goal 4, and the net 32 is formed to cover the front of the goal 4 on all four sides to collect the ball. The rear net 32b, located closest to the goal 4, is set lower than the other nets 32a, 32c, and 32d to match the height of the goal 4.

[0025] In the case of the shooting training device 100 for a goal 4 without a backboard 42, such as beach basketball, netball, korfball, or estoball, since these ball sports allow shooting from anywhere within 360 degrees around the goal 4, for example, the base 1 may be extended to provide a net support part 3 behind the goal 4, so that the goal 4 is sandwiched between the two net support parts 3 and the net 32 covers 360 degrees around the goal 4.

[0026] The net poles 31 protrude upward through through holes 37 in the top plate 36 of the net support section 3. As will be described later, the lower ends of the net poles 31 are supported by bases 39 (see Figures 7 to 9) arranged inside the net support section 3. The net poles 31 are preferably telescopic in consideration of ease of storage in the net support section 3. Here, as an example, a three-section telescopic net pole 31 having an upper section, a middle section, and a lower section is shown, and one net pole 31 is provided with two telescopic sections 38. When the telescopic sections 38 are relaxed, the upper section is stored in the middle section, and the middle section is stored in the lower section.

[0027] A net mounting rim 33 is erected in front of the top plate 36 of the net support section 3, and the bottom of the net 32 is attached to the net mounting rim 33 so as to surround it on all sides. The balls collected by the net 32 exit the net mounting rim 33, pass through the ball guide section 34, and are thrown into the opening 21 of the ball launch section 2 described above.

[0028] The goal 4 includes goal posts 41 (the left side is goal post 41a and the right side is goal post 41b), a backboard 42 attached to the top of the goal posts 41, and a goal ring 43 attached to the front of the backboard 42. As will be described later, the goal posts 41 are erected on the net support part 3 and support the goal 4. Instead of the two-post configuration of the left side goal post 41a and the right side goal post 41b, a single-post configuration or a triple-post configuration may also be used.

[0029] A basket through which the ball passes is attached to the goal ring 43, but is not shown here. The basket may be one suitable for various ball sports, such as basketball, beach basketball, netball, korfball, or cestoball. Some ball sports use baskets or cages without holes in the bottom. In such cases, a ball that has entered the basket can be poked with a separately provided stick to drop into the net 32, or a basket or cage with holes in the bottom can be attached for practice.

[0030] In the case of a shooting training device 100 for a goal 4 without a backboard 42, such as for beach basketball, netball, korfball, or estoball, the goal link 4 (and the omitted basket or cage) is attached to the top (or upper end) of the goal post 41.

[0031] (Ball launcher) Next, the ball launching unit 2 will be further described with reference to Figure 4. For the sake of explanation, Figure 4 shows a state in which the net 32 has been removed, and the outer casing of the base 1 and the top plate 36 of the net support unit 3 have also been removed.

[0032] Ball launcher 2 functions as follows. First, balls collected via net mounting rim 33 fall along ball guide section 34, which is curved downward, and are temporarily caught by bent section 34a, which bends just before opening 21 of ball launcher 2. This reduces the ball's momentum as it falls, and it rolls down the slope at the lower end of bent section 34a, is guided by guides 23 (horizontal guide 23a, vertical guide 23b), and is thrown into opening 21. The thrown ball is supported by arm 22, which serves as a shooting mechanism and is provided inside opening 21. Arm 22 shoots the ball forward from opening 21 using a spring mechanism (not shown). The manner in which the ball comes into contact with rotating roller 5 and is shot will be described later with reference to Figures 5 to 7.

[0033] Ball launcher 2 may be mechanically or electrically driven. Furthermore, the ball launch direction, launch speed, and launch interval may be freely controlled. Regarding the launch direction, for example, when used for basketball, ball launcher 3 may be configured to rotate within a 180-degree range in front of goal 4, while when used for beach basketball or the like, base 1 may be extended to allow ball launcher 3 to rotate within a 360-degree range around goal 4.

[0034] (Rotating roller) The manner in which the ball comes into contact with the rotating roller 5 and is shot from the ball shot section 2 will be described with reference to Figures 5 to 7. Figures 5 and 6 show the interior of the ball shot section 2 with the cover removed. As described above, the collected ball falls along the ball guide section 34, is temporarily caught by the bent section 34a that bends just before the opening 21 of the ball shot section 2, rolls down the slope on the lower end side of the bent section 34a, and is guided by the guides 23 (horizontal guide 23a, vertical guide 23b) to be thrown into the opening 21. The ball is held by the horizontal guide 23a.

[0035] A spring (not shown) extending rearward from the ball launcher 2 is connected to the lower portion 22b of the arm 22, and when a support member 22c connected to the upper portion 22a of the arm 22 pulls the upper portion 22a downward and rearward, the lower portion 22b of the arm 22 is pulled upward and forward against the force of the spring, causing the spring to expand. Then, when the support member 22c releases the pull on the upper portion 22a, the spring contracts, and the upper portion 22a and lower portion 22b of the arm 22 return to their original positions. The force of the contraction of this spring launches the ball forward.

[0036] Here, upper portion 22a of arm 22 may eject the ball by pushing it out while in contact with it, or may eject the ball by shooting it out while separated from it. Furthermore, in order to increase the ejection force imparted to the ball in the ejection direction, a protrusion (not shown) may be provided on upper portion 22a of arm 22, and upper portion 22a may be pulled down until the protrusion is separated from the ball, so that the ball held by horizontal guide 23a is shot out by the protrusion.

[0037] The support 22c may be driven by a motor (not shown), which may operate periodically at regular time intervals or in response to the weight of one or more balls.

[0038] The ball thus shot has its upper end come into contact with the rotating roller 5 provided at the front upper side of the ball shot section 2. The force in the shot direction given by the arm 22 and the impact of the ball coming into contact with the rotating roller 5 give the ball a rotation in the opposite direction to the shot direction.

[0039] The rotating roller 5 can be configured in various ways, but Figures 5 and 6 show an example configured with a roller support part 52 extending forward and upward from the top of the frame material that makes up the ball throwing part 2, and a roller main body 51 rotatably attached to the tip of the roller support part 52. The roller main body 51 rotates freely due to the balls that come into contact with it, and is not rotated by a motor. In other words, the roller main body 51 and, by extension, the rotating roller 5 are unpowered.

[0040] The degree of reverse rotation (number of rotations, rotation speed) and flight distance of the ejected ball can be adjusted by the degree of contact between the rotating roller 5 and the ball. For example, if the ejection force of the arm 22 is the same, the degree of reverse rotation can be increased and the flight distance can be extended by adjusting the angle of the roller support part 52 to the acute angle side with respect to the ejection direction and causing the roller body 51 to hit the ball more strongly. On the other hand, the degree of reverse rotation can be reduced and the flight distance can be shortened by adjusting the angle of the roller support part 52 to the obtuse angle side with respect to the ejection direction and causing the roller body 51 to hit the ball more weakly.

[0041] Furthermore, the rotating roller 5 may be modified in various ways depending on the content of the shooting practice. For example, a stopper (not shown) may be provided on the roller body 51 to prevent the roller body 51 from rotating. When the roller body 51 does not rotate, the shot ball will come into contact with the reverse roller body 51 and rotate in the opposite direction, but the flight distance can be shortened. Also, if it is desired to be able to practice with a non-spinning ball, the roller support part 52 may be made foldable or extendable to prevent the roller body 51 from hitting the ball.

[0042] FIG. 7 is an enlarged side view of a portion of FIG. 4, and also shows a schematic diagram of ball B flying. Ball B is shot by arm 22 from ball launcher 2, and is given a reverse rotation when it comes into contact with rotating roller 5, and flies toward practicer P. Due to the lift (Magnus effect) generated by the reverse rotation, ball B defies gravity and reaches its destination as quickly and in a straight line as possible. If the degree of reverse rotation is weak or there is no rotation at all, ball B's flight distance will be short, and it will fall toward the floor just before the practicer.

[0043] (Net support part) Returning to FIG. 4, the net support unit 3 will be described. The net support unit 3 supports four net poles 31. Here, the net poles 31 are shown with their telescopic sections 38 (see FIG. 1) relaxed, resulting in the upper, middle, and lower sections being shortened. Of the net poles 31, net poles 31a and 31b are shown with their lower sections housing their upper and middle sections dropped into the bottom of the net support unit 3 for storage. Meanwhile, net poles 31c and 31d are shown with their lower sections housing their upper and middle sections supported by a pedestal 39 (described later with reference to FIGS. 7 to 9) provided at a predetermined position inside the net support unit 3. When stored in the net support unit 3, the net poles 31 take the positions of net poles 31a and 31b, and when the net 32 is stretched, they take the positions of net poles 31c and 31d.

[0044] Next, the manner in which the goals 4 are attached to the net support part 3 will be described with reference to Figures 7 to 9. Figures 8 and 9 show Figure 4 as viewed from behind.

[0045] As shown in Figure 8, the goal posts 41 of the goal 4, both the left-side goal post 41a and the right-side goal post 41b, are detachably attached to and erected from upper and lower connection parts 35 (lower connection part 35a, upper connection part 35b) provided on, for example, the back surface 351 of the net support part 3. Specifically, the back surface 351 of the net support part 3 is provided with the lower connection part 35a and the upper connection part 35b for attaching the goal posts 41, and the lower part of the goal post 41 is pivoted to the lower connection part 35a, and the corresponding part of the goal post 41 is fastened to the upper connection part 35b. Fixing means such as butterfly bolts are used to pivot or fasten the goal posts 41.

[0046] The procedure for attaching the goal support pole 41 is as follows: first, with the goal 4 in a tilted position, the lower part of the goal support pole 41 is rotatably attached to the lower connection part 35a, as shown in Figure 9. Then, after the goal 4 is raised, the corresponding part of the goal support pole 41 is fastened to the upper connection part 35b. Figure 7 shows the goal support pole 41 in an upright position on the back surface 351 of the net support part 3. To remove the goal 4, conversely, the goal support pole 41 is removed from the upper connection part 35b, and then, with the goal 4 in a tilted position, the lower part of the goal support pole 41 is removed from the lower connection part 35a.

[0047] In this way, by rotatably attaching the lower part of the goal support post 41 to the axis, the goal 4 can be attached to the net support part 3 in a tilted state or removed from the net support part 3, so that even a single installation worker can safely and easily erect or dismantle the goal 4 on the back surface 351 of the net support part 3.

[0048] In this embodiment, the goal posts 41 are detachably mounted on the outside of the back surface 351 of the net support unit 3. However, the goal posts 41 may also be detachably mounted on the inside of the back surface 351 of the net support unit 3, on the top surface (top plate 37) or side surface of the net support unit 3, or on the base 1. When the goal posts 41 are mounted on the top surface of the net support unit 3, for example, a rotatable upper connection part 35b may be provided on the top surface, and the goal posts 41 may be pivotally attached thereto, so that a stopper to prevent the goal posts 41 from tipping over may be engaged after the goal posts 41 are mounted on the base 1. When the goal posts 41 are mounted on the base 1, the lower connection part 35a may be provided on the base 1, and the upper connection part 35b may be provided on the net support unit 3. In this way, the lower connection part 35a and / or the upper connection part 35b can be appropriately set depending on the location of the goal posts 41.

[0049] 7 to 9, unlike FIG. 3, show an embodiment in which casters 45 (caster 45a on left goal post 41a and caster 45b on right goal post 41b) are attached to the lower ends of the goal posts 41 or lower connectors 35a. This is because, when the goals 4 are heavy due to their material, providing casters 45 can be expected to transfer the weight of the upright goals 4 to the floor, reducing the strain on the net support 3 and increasing stability when moving the shooting training device 100. It is also possible to rotatably attach the casters 45 to the goal posts 41 in advance. In this case, the goal 4 can be easily transported by a single installer in a tilted position without being attached to the net support 3.

[0050] A further explanation will be given regarding the pedestal 39 mentioned above. As shown in Figs. 8 and 9, pedestal 39 is provided inside net support unit 3 for supporting net poles 41 at positions that allow the desired height of net poles 41 to be obtained. When viewed from the side of net support unit 3, as shown in Fig. 7, pedestal 39 supports the lower ends of net poles 31 (lower portions) that pass through through holes 37 in top plate 36 when stretching net 32. As in Figs. 8 and 9, Fig. 7 shows net poles 31a and 31b in a state where the lower portions housing the upper and middle portions are dropped and stored below net support unit 3, while net poles 31c and 31d in a state where the lower portions housing the upper and middle portions are supported by pedestal 39.

[0051] Next, the folding structure of the net poles 41 will be described with reference to Fig. 10. Fig. 10 shows the state in which the net poles 41 in the embodiment of Fig. 3 are folded backward.

[0052] The goal posts 41 have folding sections 44 (folding section 44a on the left goal post 41a and folding section 44b on the right goal post 41b) that are located above the top plate 36 of the net support section 3 when erected on the net support section 3. The folding sections 44 have a hinged structure and are equipped with stoppers to prevent unintentional folding. When necessary, the stoppers are released to fold the goal posts 41 backward, which facilitates maintenance such as responding to malfunctions in the backboard 42 or goal ring 43 (or basket, not shown) and storing and transporting the goal posts in places with height restrictions.

[0053] 10 shows goal posts 41 folded backward once, another folding section may be provided between folding section 44 and backboard 42 so that backboard 42 can be folded further forward. By folding goal posts 41 in a Z-shape in this way, shooting training apparatus 100 can be easily stored and transported even with goals 4 attached.

[0054] (Other Aspects of the Shooting Training Device) As mentioned above, the shooting training device 100 can also be used in similar ball sports other than basketball, such as beach basketball, netball, korfball, and cestoball, which use goals 4 without backboards 42. In these ball sports, players can shoot from anywhere within a 360-degree radius of the goal 4. As described above, the base 1 of the shooting training device 100 can be extended to include a net support 3 behind the goal 4, sandwiching the goal 4 between the two net support 3, thereby providing 360-degree coverage around the goal 4 with the net 32. However, the goal 4 can also be surrounded by a single, relatively large net support 3. In this alternative configuration, for example, the goal posts 41 of the goal 4 are similarly erected on the base 1 or the net support 3, but the goal posts 41 can be positioned so that they pass through the net mounting rim 33, allowing four nets 32 to surround the entire perimeter of the goal 4 for retrieving balls.

[0055] Furthermore, the shooting training device 100 may be configured so that the height of the goal 4 (goal ring 43) can be adjusted during use so that not only advanced players but also beginners and children can practice shooting. For example, all or a portion of the upper section of the goal pole 41 may be made extendable, similar to the net pole 31. In this case, the length and angle of the net pole 31 are adjusted to harmonize the height of the upper edge of the stretched net 32 with the height of the goal 4 (goal ring 43). Note that if the goal pole 41 is extendable, it will be easier to store and transport the device in places with height restrictions even when not in use.

[0056] (Effects of the embodiment) As described above, in this embodiment, the shooting training device 100 includes a base 1, a ball launching unit 2 mounted in front of the base 1 and launching a ball toward a trainee, and a rotating roller 5 mounted above and in front of the ball launching unit 2 and contacting the top end of the launched ball to impart a reverse spin to the ball. The ball launching unit 2 has a lower portion rotatably supported on the base 1 and an upper portion including an arm 22 that launches the ball. The rotating roller is unpowered. This allows the ball launching unit 2 to impart a reverse spin to the ball as desired, even though it is a spring-driven arm-type launcher. This allows the shooting training device 100 to reproduce the reverse spin of a ball in an actual passing play without compressing the ball, and to help the trainee master the timing of the transition from receiving to shooting. Specifically, the trainee can practice shooting by receiving a ball with a reverse spin, similar to a chest pass in an actual game, by adjusting their posture and movement in accordance with the movement of the arm 22.

[0057] Furthermore, the shooting practice device 100 is configured to include a net support section 3 that is provided behind the base 1 and supports a net pole 31 from which a net 32 is suspended to collect balls shot by the practicer, and a goal 4 that has a goal pole 41 that is detachably attached to the base 1 or the net support section 3 and from which the practicer shoots the ball. As a result, the shooting practice device 100 can be placed even in places where there is no existing goal, and it is possible to provide a shooting practice device 100 that allows shooting practice at a basket or cage-shaped goal 4 regardless of whether a backboard 42 is present or not.

[0058] In addition, the net support part 3 has a lower connection part 35a and an upper connection part 35b on its back surface 351 for attaching the goal support post 41, and the lower part of the goal support post 41 is pivotally attached to the lower connection part 35a, and the corresponding part of the goal support post 41 is fastened to the upper connection part 35b.Therefore, even if there is only one installation worker, the goal 4 can be set up and dismantled on the back surface 351 of the net support part 3 safely and without difficulty.

[0059] In addition, the goal posts 41 are configured to have folding sections 44 (folding section 44a on the left goal post 41a and folding section 44b on the right goal post 41b) at a position that is higher than the top plate 36 of the net support section 3 when the goal posts 41 are erected on the net support section 3, making it easy to respond to any malfunctions that occur in the backboard 42 or goal ring 43 (or basket, not shown), and to store and transport the goal posts in places with height restrictions.
