This invention relates to attachment devices for game equipment, and more particularly to a device for basketball practice.
It is therefore the main purpose of this invention to provide a basketball rebound dome which will be at'- tached by clamp means to a basketball hoop and will serve to develop basketball players rebound ability with a basketball.
Another object of this inventionis to provide a basketball rebound dome which will be moulded or formed in a suitable way so as to have up-raised hemispherical surfaces, which when the basketball strikes one of these surfaces, it will causethe basketball to rebound in a random fashion. I 1
A further object of this invention is to provide a rebound dome of the type described, which will have a plurality of clamp members secured to. the rim of the device to clampingly engage the hoop attached to the backboard so as to render the dome device stationary while also allowing it to be easily removed after a practice.
