ABSTRACT:
A basketball hoop and net apparatus comprises a circular metal rim with a coaxial continuous circular net supporting ring secured to the underside thereof. The net supporting ring has a plurality of circumferentially spaced semicircular depending loops about its periphery. A mounting bracket is secured to the outer periphery of the rim and ring members to mount the hoop to a backboard. The net assemby is formed of a series of separate elongate generally vertical linking members in the form of separate lengths of chain or separate elongate rod members having an eye portion at their top and bottom ends with the eyes at the top ends each slidably received and movably captured on the depending loops of the net supporting ring and the eyes at the bottom ends each movably connected by a circular bottom connecting ring in generally vertical circumferentially spaced relation to allow a basketball to slide therethrough. The elongate vertical chain or rod members may also be connected at their midpoints by an intermediate continuous connecting ring. Alternatively, the rod members are connected in an upper and lower series in alternating circumferentially spaced relation. The lengths of chain or rod members may aso be provided with a protective sleeve of weather resistive material.
