Abstract:
1. A system for supporting and adjusting the verticality of an upright of a sports goalpost comprising: a crossbar formed as a tubular wall around a central axis and having an opening in said wall; a rotatable assembly comprised of a rotational member disposed within the crossbar for rotational movement substantially around said axis and a stub adapted to receive the upright, said rotational member comprising a sleeve having a first cutout through which the stub protrudes, said stub being integrally formed with the rotational member and protruding therefrom so as to pass through the opening in the crossbar wall, said opening in said wall of the crossbar being dimensioned to permit a preselected amount of rotational movement of the stub extending through said opening in said wall of the crossbar around the axis of the crossbar and of rotational movement of the rotational member around the axis of the crossbar; and at least one lock operatively associated with the rotational assembly and the crossbar for selectively preventing rotational movement therebetween.
