STOWABLE BASKETBALL RIM
A basketball hoop assembly can include a rim bracket pivotally coupled with a base bracket. An arcuate slot can be defined in the rim bracket and have an upper seat and a lower seat. A biasing member may be arranged to bias the rim bracket upward. A latch member may be positionable in the lower seat of the arcuate slot to prevent upward rotation of the rim bracket. This may position the rim in a play position. The rim bracket may be rotatable downward to move the upper seat of the slot toward the latch member (e.g., which may correspond to movement toward a break-away position, such as in response to a slam-dunk). The latch member can be retractable from the slot to permit upward rotation of the rim bracket (e.g., which may correspond to the biasing member moving the rim to a stowed position).
Tetrahedral Game Goal
A goal for a three-dimensional game includes: (a) four congruent hoops each having three equally spaced tee connectors along their circumferences and each hoop being coupled with each other hoop at exactly one tee connector and in a tetrahedral configuration; (b) four congruent generally triangular rebound sections overlapping at the tees and covering the areas outside of the hoops with a trampoline like construction; (c) a tube of net affixed at both ends to the peripheries of any two hoops which two hoops when rotated in opposite directions twists and constricts the net tube so that a ball may not pass into one end of the tube and out the other end; (d) Three distinct congruent hoop shaped goal openings which, when positioned on a playing field, one hoop is the base, one hoop faces generally away from the opposing goal for two points, and two hoops face generally forward for one point;
EASY FOLD LOCKING MECHANISMS
The present disclosure relates to a gaming-table support locking apparatus including a first hinge bar, a second hinge bar, and a tab connector. The first hinge bar is connected to a first bar of a gaming-table and includes a tab notch. The second hinge bar is connected to a second bar of a gaming-table, is rotatably connected to the first hinge bar, and includes a window. The tab connector includes a base, a locking section, and a release section. The base is configured to connect to the second hinge bar at the window. The locking section extends through the window for engaging the tab notch to form a secure connection. The release section, connected to the locking section, extends through the window for receiving a force from a user. The release section may be depressed toward the base, causing the locking section to disengage from the tab notch.
Basketball training system
A basketball training system includes a ball delivery system in which a basketball is delivered to a ball ready holder located in front of a ball launch mechanism. A launch arm is grabbed and pulled backward against a spring force, and then is released to pivot forward and strike the basketball from the ball ready holder.
Tiered beverage pong game system
A tiered beverage pong game system comprising a plurality of tiered platforms, each having at least one of a width and a length that is greater than any higher tiered platform and a plurality of beverage container placement markers located on the tiered platforms, each configured to seat a beverage container thereon, the beverage container placement markers comprising a plurality of colors indicating which direction a beverage container seated on beverage container placement marker is passed when a player bounces a ball into the corresponding beverage container. A top tiered platform comprises a single beverage container placement marker and each tiered platform comprises a greater number of beverage container placement markers than any higher tiered platform. Each side of each tiered platform comprises a different color along a vertical or horizontal side that corresponds with a color among the plurality of colors of the beverage container placement markers.

Removable Downspout Cover Device
A cover device comprised of material of varying lengths sized to extend partway around and partway along an object such as but not limited to a downspout with fasteners extending along the lateral edges to attach material to object.
SLIM COURT
A basketball system is disclosed herein. In some embodiments, the system includes a rotatable hoop assembly with a hoop and backboard mounted to a support and rotatable around a vertical axis of rotation to change an angle of the hoop and the backboard relative to a particular geo-position. The system may include a programmable display device that presents a display on a surface based at least in part on the angle of the hoop and the backboard and control logic that sends commands to change the angle of the hoop and backboard relative to the particular geo-position. In some embodiments, a rebounding system is included with a ball guide that directs balls to the particular geo-position before and after a change to the angle of the hoop and the backboard.
TARGET BOARD FOR BEAN BAG TOSS GAME
A bean bag toss game target device comprises a support frame adapted to sit on a surface, a first planar game surface supported by the support frame at a first angle to the surface and at a first height above the surface, and a second planar game surface supported by the support frame at a second angle to the surface and at a second height above the surface. The first planar game surface defines a first target hole, and the second planar game surface defines a second target hole. The first planar game surface is closer to the proximal end of the target device than is the second planar game surface, and the second planar game surface is closer to the distal end of the target device than is the first planar game surface. The first height above the surface is less than the second height above the surface.
