ABSTRACT:
A portable electronic scoreboard comprising a housing with a display face, an electronic mechanism disposed within the housing, and a score registering assembly. The housing back configuration is amenable to releasable attachment to a pole or a flat surface such as a wall. The housing back face configuration comprises a longitudinal channel capable of disposition adjacent to a pole and a strap fastener extendable about the pole. The housing back configuration also comprises a pair of flat surfaced wings having slots capable of receiving bolts of the like to secure the housing to a wall. The score registering assembly may be positioned to detect the successful passage of a basketball through a basketball goal. The score registering assembly comprises a paddle and a switch. The paddle actuates the switch if a basketball passing through the goal causes the paddle to change from a ready to a reactive position. The switch thereby detects successful scores and communicates such scores to the electronic mechanism for processing and display. The score registering assembly also comprises a self-locking adjustable arm attachment assembly for securing the score registering assembly to the basketball goal. The arms of the attachment assembly are laterally adjustable and configured with grooves to permit clamping engagement with the rim plate portion of the basketball goal.
