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 9):
A net apparatus, comprising:\n a support portion having a length in a first plane; first and second base extensions; a first base extension hinge coupled to a first end of the support portion, wherein a first end of the first base extension is received by the first base extension hinge such that the first base extension is adapted to pivot about a first pivot between an opened end and a closed end of the first base extension hinge, wherein the first end of the first base extension is configured to slidably engage a first locking mechanism within the first base extension hinge about the opened end such that the first end is dislocated from the first pivot; the second base extension configured to be pivotally coupled to a second end of the support portion; a first means for supporting a first flexible rod proximate the first base extension hinge; a second means for supporting a second flexible rod proximate the second base extension hinge; and a net, received by at least the first and second flexible rods, the net configured to bend the first and second flexible rods from a linear state to a flexed state, in which the first flexible rod and the second flexible rod are in a second plane substantially normal to the first plane.
