ABSTRACT:
A collapsible basketball goal apparatus is disclosed herein which includes a backboard and a basketball hoop mounted to the backboard. The hoop is mounted to the backboard to be pivotable about a horizontal axis parallel with the backboard between a first, horizontal position and a second, downwardly-displaced position.
A post extends perpendicularly outward from the backboard and defines an aperture extending parallel to the backboard. An upper support is secured to the hoop and defines a hole in which the post is received in the first position. A shear member is positioned in the aperture of the post and is located to be sheared upon application of a downward force on the hoop which urges the upper support member away from the backboard to shear the member.
