A portable net (10) has an erected configuration for practicing golf or the
like by stopping the flight of a golf ball (22) and returning
it to a selected location and a folded configuration for storage or transport.
The portable net (10) has an elastic frame (12) that forms a
base (11) and a net support section (13). A net (18) is connected to the net
support section (13) of the frame (12) so that the net (18) is
extended away from the base (11) in the erected configuration. The net (18) is
arranged to stop the flight of a golf ball (22) that is incident
thereon. A fabric (26) is connected between the net (18) and the base (11) so
that projectile that has impinged upon the net (18) falls to
the fabric (26) and then rolls to the front portion of the portable net (10).
The frame is configured such that a person may put the frame
(12) into a folded configuration by deforming the first and second frame
members (14, 16) into a plurality of generally concentric rings.
A retainer such as a strap (134) is provided for selectively retaining the
frame (12) in the folded configuration. The frame (12) is formed
such that elastic forces in the frame spontaneously move the frame (12) to the
erected configuration when the retainer (134) is not engaged
to retain the frame (12) in the storage configuration.
L'invention porte sur un filet portable (10) qui en configuration dressée permet de pratiquer le golf ou des sports analogues en arrêtant le vol d'une balle de golf (22) et en la renvoyant en un point choisi, et en configuration repliée, sert pour le rangement et le transport. Le filet portable (10) présente un cadre élastique (12) formant une base (11) et une section de support (13) du filet. Un filet (18) est fixé à la section de support de filet (13) du cadre (12) de manière à ce que le filet (18) s'étende en partant de la base (11) dans la configuration dressée. Le filet (18) est conçu pour arrêter le vol d'une balle de golf (22) le frappant. Une toile (26) relie le filet à la base de manière à ce que le projectile ayant frappé le filet (18) tombe sur la toile (26) et roule vers la partie frontale du filet portable (10). Le cadre (12) est conçu pour qu'une personne puisse le placer en configuration repliée en déformant le premier et le deuxième élément (14, 16) du cadre en plusieurs anneaux sensiblement concentriques. Un élément de rétention tel qu'une sangle (134) est prévu pour maintenir le cadre (12) en position repliée. Le cadre (12) est conçu pour que son élasticité l'amène spontanément en configuration dressée lorsque l'élément de rétention (134) ne le retient pas le cadre (12) en configuration de rangement.
