ABSTRACT:
A collapsible sport goal includes a collapsible frame assembly, and a net extended around the collapsible frame assembly. The frame assembly includes a base frame, an inverted U-shaped goal frame, an inverted U-shaped rear frame, and pivoting connector rods connected laterally between center portions of the goal frame and the rear frame. The goal frame includes a center portion and two leg portions which are pivotally attached to a front portion of the base frame such that the goal frame is pivotally movable relative to the base frame. The rear frame includes a center portion and two leg portions which are pivotally attached to a rear portion of the base frame wherein the rear frame is pivotally movable relative to the base frame. The connector rods are pivotally connected at each end thereof between the respective center portions of the goal frame and the rear frame such that the connector rods are pivotally rotatable relative to the goal frame and the rear frame. In use, the frame assembly is movable between an open position wherein the base frame is positioned on a supporting surface, the goal frame extends vertically, the rear frame extends generally upwardly and forwardly and the connector rods extend laterally between the goal frame and the rear frame, and a closed position wherein the goal frame, rear frame and connector rods are substantially coplanar with the base frame. The frame assembly further includes a simple locking mechanism for releasably locking the frame assembly in the open position.
