Abstract:
A ball net structure arranged to be portable, collapsible, and able to be configured into different arrangements for different nets and/or different sports-related activities. The ball net structure comprising a base structure including at least one support portion, at least one base extension, and at least one base extension hinge, wherein the at least one support portion and the at least one base extension are coupled to the at least one base extension hinge. At least one rod is removably coupled to the base structure and received by a net, wherein the net is adapted to exert a force on the at least one rod causing the at least one rod to exert a force onto said base structure.

Claim (Index 1):
A net apparatus, comprising:\n a support portion having a first end and a second end; first and second base extensions; a first base extension hinge coupled to the first end of the support portion, wherein the first base extension is received by the first base extension hinge and is adapted to pivot about a first pivot of the first base extension hinge, the first base extension hinge comprising at least one locking mechanism, wherein the first base extension is configured to engage a first locking mechanism such that the first base extension is displaced from the first pivot; a second base extension hinge coupled to the second end of the support portion, wherein the second base extension is received by the second base extension hinge and is adapted to pivot about a second pivot of the second base extension hinge; a first flexible rod removably coupled to the first base extension hinge; a second flexible rod removably coupled to the second base extension hinge; and a net, received by at least the first and second flexible rods and by at least the support portion, the net configured to bend the first and second flexible rods from a linear state to a flexed state, such that the first and second flexible rods are biased away from each other by a net tension applied by the net.
