BASKET-BALL BANK.
Application filed May 1, 1928. Serial 'No. 275,053.
impart a lively rebound to the ball when.
struck by the latter.
To the attainment of these ends and the accomplishment of other new and useful ob jects as will appear, the invention consists in the features of novelty in substantially the construction, combination and arrangement of the several parts hereinafter more fully described and claimed and shown in the accompanying drawing illustrating this invention, and in which I Figure l is a View in side elevation of an improved bank of this character constructed in accordance with the principles of this invention and showing the basket in position.
Figure 2 is a rear elevation of Figure 1, with parts broken away and parts omitted for the sake of clearness.
Figure 3 is a detail sectional view, partly broken away, as taken on line 3+3, Figure 2.
Figure 4; is a detail View, partly broken away, taken from the front of the bank.
In accordance with the principles of this invention the bank is formedfrom a single piece of sheet material 10 such as metal or the like of any desired gauge or thickness and may be of any desired size and configuration according to the size of bank it is desired to form. The bank is preferably of a rectangular configuration and the edges 11 thereof are deflected rearwardly to form flanges which encompass the periphery of the bank and serve to reinforce the same. The proximate ends of adjacent flanges are preferably mitered as at 12 and are secured together in any suitable manner such as by means of solder ing 13, brazing or the like.
The front exposed surface of the bank 10 may be finished in any suitable manner either by painting, enameling or otherwise treating the same so as to produce a. smooth and if de sired a glazed surface.
Secured to the back of the bank and at any desired position so as to extend thercacross between the top and bottom flanges 11 are uprights 14 secured in position in any desired or suitable manner, either by spot welding, riveting or the like. These uprights 14 form braces and are preferably of angle iron construction, the upright edges 15 thereof being provided throughout their lengths with suitable apertures 16, for a purpose to be set forth.
Secured to the base portions 14 of the braces, in any suitable manner, and extending across the space therebetwecn is a brace or reinforcing member 17 also constructed of sheet material such as metal, and this member or brace 17 may be of any desired width and thickness. When the brace is secured to the base 1 1 of the upright braces, aspace 18 will be formed between the front face of the brace or member 17 and the rear face of the bank 10. i A filler member 19 also of any desired size is arranged within the space 18 and is preferably disposed midway of the width of the bank 10. This filler member 19 may be secured in position in any suitable manner either by spot welding, brazing, riveting, or the like. I
Apertures 20 are. provided through the bank 10, filler member 19 and brace member 17 for the reception of anchoring members 21 such as bolts, which pass therethrough and these bolts serve as a means for securing the basket ring 21' to the front of the bank.
The ring may be of an desired configuration. such for example as eing provided with depending extremities 22 having deflected portions 23 which rest against the face of the bank. A filler member 24: to'complete the ring 21 is arranged between the deflected portions and ispreferably of a U shaped configuration, the r "tren'lities 25 of the member being del'h ted laterally so as also to rest against the face of the bank 10.
The extremities are provided with apertures and the deflected portions of the portions 22 of the ring 21 are also provided with apertures which register with the respective apertures 20in the bank 10, filler member 19'and brace meml er 17 so that the fastening bolts 21 may pass through the registering apertures, and nuts or collars 26 are provided on the bolts for removably securing the may be of any desired construction and are provided with threaded upper extremit'es 29 adapted to pass through a support or beam b0 and are secured thereto by means of fa toning nuts 81 engaging the threads 29. The lower extremities of the rods 28 are preferably flattened as at 32 and the flattened portion of the rods rest against the faces of the respective upright brace members 15 Apertures are provided in the portions 82 of the rods which register with certain of the apcrtures 16 in the portions 15 of tie upright braces 14,, and fastening members 33, such as bolts or the like, pass through these registering apertures and secure the ends of the rods to the upright braces .14. V
Additional'brace rods 34- are provided, one extremity of which is deflected at 35} and is anchored to the ceiling by means of fastening screws 36 passing through apertures in the portion 35 and into the ceiling. The lower extremities of these rods 3d also be flattened as at 37 and are provided with apertures therethrough which register with certain of the apertures 16 of the portion 15 of the upright braces 14:. Fastening bolts are provided which pass through the registering apertures i the ends of the rods 34 and the upright braces.
lVith this improved construction it will be manifest that there will be provided a rigid bank and being constructed of metal, will impart a lively'rebound to the ball. Furthermore, the bank being reinforced in the manner shown, will be of a rigid construction and may be formed of material of comparatively light gauge.
The filler member 19 co-operating with the reinforcing brace or member 17 and the front of the bank will insure the rigidity of the ring 21.
lVith this improved construction it will also be manifest that the bank may be secreted at any desired elevation or fromnny overhead. support, the rods 28 and being provided of the proper length to compensate the height of the support 30 above the ground.
lVhile the preferred form of the invention has been herein shown and described, it is to be understood that various changes may be made in the details of construction and in the combination and arrangement of the several parts, within the scope of the claims, w thout departing from. the spirit of this invention.
