ABSTRACT:
This invention is a basketball backboard reinforcing assembly that can be attached to new or existing basketball backboard members to strengthen same and prevent breaking thereof when a basketball player grasps a basketball goal assembly attached thereto. More particularly, the basketball backboard reinforcing assembly includes a transparent support plate mounted against a back side of the backboard member; a front and a rear connector plate secured together by a connector assembly to clamp the support plate and the backboard member therebetween; and a base support assembly operable to secure together the lower edges of the support plate and the backboard member. The support plate acts to transmit forces and stress applied to the basketball goal assembly to a large area to prevent breaking of the backboard member. The base support assembly is important to prevent relative flexing movement of the interconnected support plate and backboard member. The basketball backboard reinforcing assembly can be attached to old and fatigued backboard member to revitalize same and add years of new useful life to the same.
