Patent ID: 10617923

Abstract:
An elbow joint for a foldable goal post assembly, the elbow joint comprising a first elbow portion attachable to a first goal post and a second elbow portion attachable to a second goal post, the second elbow portion pivotally connectable to the first elbow portion about a hinged connection. The assembly also includes a locking rod. The first elbow portion defines a first cavity for receiving at least a portion of the locking rod and the second elbow portion defines a second cavity for receiving at least a portion of the locking rod. The elbow connector is configured such that the locking rod is slidably movable between a first configuration in which the locking rod is partially located within the first cavity and partially located within the second cavity to lock the elbow joint by preventing pivotal movement of the first and second elbow portions about the hinged connection and a second configuration in which the locking rod is pulled out of at least one of the cavities to unlock the elbow joint such that the first and second elbow portions are permitted to pivot about the hinged connection.
