ABSTRACT:
A new and improved basketball backboard support apparatus wherein, to stationary support structure, a unique basketball backboard support structure is coupled. Specifically, stationary support structure is provided which can be attached to and/or suspended from a vertical upright, a wall or other support. The backboard itself includes support structure which is coupled to the stationary support structure by arm means generally taking the form plural, parallel arms having pivot connections at the respective ends. These arms allow for maintenance of the backboard support structure in a vertical plane and yet vertical adjustment thereof. Means are employed to releasably position the backboard support structure at a chosen vertical height, and also for automatically braking descents of the backboard support structure during adjustment intervals. A telescoping brace used in the structure is employed to releasably fix vertical disposition of the backboard support structure, this preferably by a pawl and/or adjustment screw device.
