ABSTRACT:
A portable sports target frame is described for numerous sports games in which a projectile such as a ball or puck is used. The target frame includes an elongated cross member with uprights mounted at opposed ends. The uprights are mounted by an angular adjustment that enables selective pivotal adjustment of the uprights to positions simulating different sports targets. The cross member is held in the selected angular position by a parallelogram linkage including base standards and a parallel stabilizing link mounting the elongated cross member to a base for pivotal movement while maintaining the uprights in selected angular orientations. A latch is mounted between the linkage and base to permit selective angular positioning of the base standard relative to a platform. A ball or other projectile may be mounted to the platform by a tether which includes an elastic part secured to the projectile and an inelastic part extending to the projectile. The tether is long enough to allow the projectile to be thrown, kicked, or struck into a net suspended between the uprights. The elastic part is provided to return the projectile to the user.
