ABSTRACT:
A game net post adapted to be placed in substantially vertical position into the ground or floor, the post being provided with mechanism for attaching a net and for tensioning a net cable, the cross-sectional profile of the post presenting a cavity, open to the outside, and having cross-sectional dimensions such that the net cable tensioning mechanism may be received and substantially housed within it. Preferably, in the cavity, a longitudinal member is slideably inserted and which has affixed to it the net cable tensioning mechanism. The tensioning mechanism may comprise devices carrying a wire shaft and a handle coupled to the wire shaft, adapted to rotate the wire shaft while avoiding the longitudinal displacement thereof, a running nut with a hook device being associated with the wire shaft. A second embodiment is a two-part height-adjustable post. The two post parts have cross-sectional profiles such that the second one is slideable within the first one of such parts, the cross-sectional profile of each of the post parts presents a cavity, open to the outside, and having cross-sectional dimensions such that the net cable tensioning mechanism may be received in it. Also with this embodiment a longitudinal member is preferably inserted which is affixed to one post part and is slideable within the cavity in the other post part, the longitudinal member having affixed to it the net cable tensioning mechanism.
