    • DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
  • Referring to the drawings and initially to FIGS. 1-6, a height adjustable basketball frame structure 10 in accordance with the preferred embodiment of the present invention comprises a backboard 20, two fixing plates 21 each mounted on the backboard 20, a base 10 located below the backboard 20, two first upright rods 11 each mounted on a first end of the base 10, two second upright rods 12 each mounted on a second end of the base 10, two first links 14 each having a first end pivotally mounted on an upper end of a respective one of the two first upright rods 11 and a second end pivotally mounted on a first end of a respective one of the two fixing plates 21, an adjusting bar 30 having a first end movably mounted between the two second upright rods 12, and two second links 15 each having a first end pivotally mounted on a second end of the adjusting bar 30, a mediate portion pivotally mounted on a respective one of the two first upright rods 11 and a second end pivotally mounted on a second end of a respective one of the two fixing plates 21.
  • A reinforcing bar 13 is mounted between the two first upright rods 11 and the two second upright rods 12. The first end of the adjusting bar 30 is formed with a longitudinally arranged slideway 31 having a wall formed with a plurality of transversely arranged oblique retaining slots 32.
  • As shown in FIG. 5, the basketball frame structure 10 further comprises a fixing plate 41 fixed on the reinforcing bar 13, a positioning bolt 40 extended through the fixing plate 41, the reinforcing bar 13, the slideway 31 of the adjusting bar 30 and the two second upright rods 12 and detachably locked in either one of the retaining slots 32 of the adjusting bar 30, and a control handle 42 fixed on the positioning bolt 40 and urged on the two second upright rods 12 to position the adjusting bar 30 between the two second upright rods 12.
  • The fixing plate 41 is formed with a hexagonal hole 44, and the positioning bolt 40 has a first end formed with a hexagonal head 45 secured in the hexagonal hole 44 of the fixing plate 41. The positioning bolt 40 has a second end formed with an outer thread 46, and the control handle 42 has an end formed with a screw bore 43 screwed onto the outer thread 46 of the positioning bolt 40.
  • When the control handle 42 is unscrewed from the positioning bolt 40, the adjusting bar 30 is movable between the two second upright rods 12, and the positioning bolt 40 is slidable in the slideway 31 of the adjusting bar 30 and detachably locked in either one of the retaining slots 32 of the adjusting bar 30.
  • In operation, referring to FIGS. 6 and 7 with reference to FIGS. 1-5, when the control handle 42 is unscrewed from the positioning bolt 40, the adjusting bar 30 is movable relative to the two second upright rods 12 to drive the two second links 15 and the two first links 14 to move from the position as shown in FIG. 6 to the position as shown in FIG. 7 so as to change the position of the backboard 20, so that the height of the backboard 20 is changed easily and conveniently by movement of the adjusting bar 30, thereby facilitating a user adjusting the height of the backboard 20. In addition, when the adjusting bar 30 is moved, the positioning bolt 40 is slidable in the slideway 31 of the adjusting bar 30 and detachably locked in either one of the retaining slots 32 of the adjusting bar 30, so that the height of the backboard 20 is changed in a multi-stage manner so as to fit requirements of different users.
  • Referring to FIGS. 8 and 9 with reference to FIG. 1, the basketball frame structure 10 further comprises a plurality of hollow weights 50 mounted on the base 10, the first upright rods 11 and the second upright rods 12 to support the basketball frame structure 10 rigidly and stably. Each of the weights 50 is inflatable and expandable and has a corrugated shape. Each of the weights 50 has a central portion formed with a mounting hole 51 mounted on the base 10, the first upright rods 11 and the second upright rods 12 and has a periphery formed with a slit 52 communicating with the mounting hole 51 to facilitate each of the weights 50 being mounted on the base 10, the first upright rods 11 and the second upright rods 12. Each of the weights 50 has an end formed with a filling port 53 for filling sand, water or the like into the inside of each of the weights 50 so as to inflate each of the weights 50. A plug 54 is removably inserted into the filling port 53 of each of the weights 50.
  • Referring to FIG. 10, the slit 52 is undefined, and each of the weights 50 is integrally formed on the base 10, the first upright rods 11 and the second upright rods 12 during the manufacturing process.
  • Accordingly, the height of the backboard 20 is changed easily and conveniently by movement of the adjusting bar 30, thereby facilitating a user adjusting the height of the backboard 20. In addition, when the adjusting bar 30 is moved, the positioning bolt 40 is slidable in the slideway 31 of the adjusting bar 30 and detachably locked in either one of the retaining slots 32 of the adjusting bar 30, so that the height of the backboard 20 is changed in a multi-stage manner so as to fit requirements of different users. Further, the weights 50 are used to support the basketball frame structure 10 rigidly and stably.
  • Although the invention has been explained in relation to its preferred embodiment(s) as mentioned above, it is to be understood that many other possible modifications and variations can be made without departing from the scope of the present invention. It is, therefore, contemplated that the appended claim or claims will cover such modifications and variations that fall within the true scope of the invention.
