GAME NET
A game net for playing a game involving hitting an object back-and-forth between players located on opposite sides of the net. The game net has a netting or panel that is supportable on a frame or otherwise above a ground surface and is movable from location to location. The netting or panel has an opening or window formed completely therethrough to provide passage of the object through the netting or panel when hit by one or more players located on opposite sides of the netting or panel. With the game net, players must direct the object more accurately through the window with a higher degree of precision than what is required to pass an object over existing game nets.
A DEMARCATION INSTALLATION HAVING TWO MAIN CONNECTORS
The disclosure relates to a demarcation installation comprising a first main connector configured to connect together, first, second, third, and fourth connection elements, a second main connector configured to connect together fifth, sixth, seventh, and eighth connection elements, a first bow and a second bow respectively including a first fastening portion and a second fastening portion, a first secondary connector configured to connect together the first and sixth connection elements and the first bow, a second secondary connector configured to connect together the second and fifth connection elements and the second bow, and a link extending between said fastening portions, the first and second main connectors extending on either side of a vertical plane containing the link.
TRUSS-FRAME SPORTS NET SYSTEM
A sports net support system includes a first end post, a second end post and a plurality of truss segments configured for coupling therebetween. The first end post includes an inferior end and a superior end with a first outside base member provided to the inferior end of the first end post. The second end post has an inferior end and a superior end and a second outside base member is provided to the inferior end of the second post. One or more of the truss segments include an inferior span, a superior span and a plurality of struts each extending between the inferior span and the superior span. A reel is configured for winding a top strand of a net suspended between the first and second end posts.
VOLLEYBALL UPRIGHT AND ASSOCIATED ASSEMBLIES WITH AN EXTENSION POLE OR A NET
An upright configured such that the widest portions of the upright are adapted to be in line with a net line tension. An upright may also be configured such that its flat inner sides are adapted to be substantially perpendicular to a net line tension, which may also space the thinnest portions of the upright away from a net line tension. Furthermore, an upright may have a sloped top surface and an improved pin connection with an inner extension pole. As a result of any or all of these features, exemplary embodiments of an upright, an associated assembly with an extension pole and/or a net, and a related assembly method may provide improved resistance to net line tension.

Ball launching net post system
A net post system for padel tennis. The system comprises of a pair of post. Each post defines a lower ball launching aperture and a ball feeding aperture. A pair of ball chutes, each chute leads to the ball feeding aperture. A pair of controllers. Each controller connects to a power source. Each controller receives commands from a remote. A pair of housings. Each housing has a first servomotor that has a first wheel that spins counterclockwise, a second servomotor that has a second wheel that spins clockwise, wherein the first wheel and the second wheel are spatially separated so that a ball can be pushed into a space, and a third servomotor that controls a lever that is configured to push the ball within the space that leads to the ball launching aperture. And, a net that attaches to the pair of posts.

PORTABLE EXERCISE APPARATUS
Attachments adapted for a portable exercise apparatus configured to attach to a vertical structure. The portable exercise apparatus includes a top strap attached to a hook and a bottom strap attached to a hook, the top strap and bottom strap can be wrapped around the vertical structure and secured at the apparatus. The attachments offer a variety of functionality which can all be utilized when attached to the portable exercise apparatus which would be attached to a vertical structure. Examples of some of the attachments include a basketball net, a dart board, a hammock, and other configurations which can be used and enjoyed by users.
PORTABLE EXERCISE APPARATUS
A portable exercise apparatus intended for indoor use. A vertical spine is constructed and mounted to a plurality of wall braces. The spine has a series of pairs of hooks aligned vertically. The user can then place either a pulley plate or a body into a desired hook. Hooks are configured such that when the pulley plate or body is placed therein, force in a downward or straight direction would not remove the pulley plate or body. A bench can be attached to the pulley plate or body which then allows a user to set or lie on and perform exercises using a resistance cord which can be connected to the body, pulley plate, and or braces.
Tennis net anchoring device and method of anchoring a tennis net
A tennis net anchoring device and method securely anchors a tennis net center strap to a recessed anchor post on a tennis court surface. The anchoring device comprises a longitudinal, double-sided, unitary body supporting a net-retention member and a ground-retention member. A top portion of the unitary body includes two arcuate T-shaped, net-retention members that retain the tennis net through grommet holes in the net. The net-retention members extend downwardly from the upper end of the middle portion to define an arcuate net-support surface. A lower portion of the unitary body includes two off-set, J-shaped ground-retention members, opposite the net-retention members. The ground-retention members have a ground-retention surface that forms an anchor post insertion channel. The insertion channel enables insertion of an anchor post recessed beneath the court surface. The ground-retention members have free ground ends that enable maneuvering of the anchor post within the anchor post insertion channel.
