Description

Portable pickleball net with LED line implementation {PORTABLE PICKLEBALL NET WITH LED LINE IMPLEMENTATION}

[0001] The present invention relates to a portable pickleball net that configures a net and a court for enjoying a pickleball game, and more specifically, to a net that can be easily identified even at night by an LED light source, and can form a boundary line of the court by irradiating an LED beam, so that it is easy to carry with a simple configuration without the need to draw or install a boundary line separately, and to an LED line implementation that allows for convenient enjoyment of a pickleball game by an automatic detection function.

[0002]

[0003] Pickleball is a sport that can be played indoors or outdoors, using a polymer ball with holes and a racket, similar to badminton or tennis, where points are awarded based on the boundaries of the court and the net.

[0004]

[0005] Pickleball, as it requires a court and net to play, had the problem that it could only be played in places with courts, such as badminton courts or tennis courts.

[0006]

[0007] Recently, with the increase in outdoor activities such as camping, sports that can be enjoyed outdoors are gaining attention.

[0008]

[0009] Pickleball is easy to carry around because the racket is not large and the ball is light, but it is inconvenient because it requires a court or a portable court and mat to play.

[0010]

[0011] To solve the above problems, various products are being developed that can be carried by folding the net or rolling it into a roll shape and easily installed using a stand.

[0012]

[0013] However, at night, it becomes difficult to identify the net, making it difficult to proceed with the game.

[0014]

[0015] In relation to this, prior art document 1 (Publication Patent No. 10-2017-0008468 Mobile lighting net including rechargeable luminous ball) discloses a configuration in which lighting is installed on the net and also on the ball to facilitate identification at night.

[0016]

[0017] However, prior art document 1 only allows for the installation of a net, which causes the problem of having to draw a separate court for the game or install it using rope or tape.

[0018]

[0019] Additionally, the courts can be difficult to identify at night unless separate lighting is installed.

[0020]
