Abstract

An aspect of the present invention provides a ball net with a basket. The ball net comprises a target opening portion, a decelerating catcher, and a collecting pocket. The target opening portion is configured for hulling a ball therein. The decelerating catcher is provided inside the target opening for reducing speed of, stopping, and dropping the ball. The collecting pocket is disposed below the decelerating catcher for receiving the ball dropped from the decelerating catcher and keeping inside. The target opening portion comprises a coilable loop and an edge portion extending from the coilable loop and defining a flying-in opening.

Claims

a target opening portion configured for hulling a ball therein;

a decelerating catcher provided inside the target opening for reducing speed of, stopping, and dropping the ball; and

a collecting pocket disposed below the decelerating catcher for receiving the ball dropped from the decelerating catcher and keeping inside.

2. The ball net of claim 1, wherein the target opening portion comprises:

a coilable loop; and

an edge portion extending from the coilable loop and defining a flying-in opening.

3. The ball net of claim 2, wherein the decelerating catcher comprises a net, wherein the net is attached to the edge portion of the target opening.

4. The ball net of claim 3, wherein the decelerating catcher further comprises a plurality of straps for connecting the net to the edge portion.

5. The ball net of claim 2, further comprising a basket retrieving opening below the flying-in opening.

6. The ball net of claim 5, wherein the basket retrieving opening is integrated with the flying-in opening.

7. The ball net of claim 5, further comprising a separator provided between the flying-in opening and the basket retrieving opening.

8. The ball net of claim 7, wherein the separator comprises a separating band.

9. The ball net of claim 8, wherein the edge portion of the target opening portion and the separating band are made of plastic material.

10. The ball net of claim 8, wherein the edge portion of the target opening portion and the separating band are made of fabric material.

11. The ball net of claim 1, further comprising:

one or more propping poles for propping the target opening portion, wherein each of the one or more propping poles comprises a first end and a second end;

a base loop provided on a floor, wherein at least one side thereof is connected to a lower portion of the target opening portion; and

one or more holding flaps, each of which having at least three sides adapted to hold a part of the target opening portion, a part of the base loop, and a part of the propping pole,

wherein the first end of the propping pole is detachably connected to an elevated location of the edge portion of the target opening portion, and wherein the second end of the propping pole is detachably connected to a position of the base loop, such that the target opening portion, the base loop, and the propping pole form a triangle for propping the ball net stably on the floor.

12. The ball net of claim 11, wherein the holding flap is configured to hold the propping pole detachably.

13. The ball net of claim 12, wherein the holding flap is integrated with the target opening portion and the base loop.
