ABSTRACT:
An adjustable basketball goal is mounted on a parallelogram supporting structure that permits the goal to be adjusted to different heights from 6 to 10 feet. The goal is raised and lowered by threaded members between portions of the supporting structure that provide sufficient mechanical advantage so that the adjustment can be easily made. The supporting structure also is designed to permit the goal to be secured directly to the supporting structure rather than just the backboard thereby minimizing the breaking off of the goals by a player hanging onto the rim. An adjustable length tension member extends between front and rear vertical supports of the supporting structure to take up slack in the structure as its pivotal connections wear with age.
