Abstract

I have invented a new design for an electroluminescent attachable basketball rim, as set forth in the following specifications. The claimed electroluminescent attachable basketball rim is used to train basketball players. The apparatus relates to an electroluminescent (el wire) encased, also marked with or without reflectors positioned diametrical of each, rubber attachable basketball rim. Currently basketball rims only have a net affixed to them and have no distinguishing features to aim at besides the backboard.

Claims

1. What is claimed in combination with a steel basketball rim, an attachable rubber somewhat tubular ring with optional (a) Reflectors 1 through 5 positioned equidistantly and diametrically along the attachable rubber ring 0 that is encased with electroluminescent light apparatus.

(b) A rubber somewhat tubular luminous structure 0 mounted along the perimeter of a basketball rim, therefore the following claims are:

(1) Mounting an attachable rubber basketball rim internally contstructed with electroluminescent (el wire), I.e.d light (Light-Emitting Diode) inside rubber somewhat tubular ring construction 0 internally mixed to rubber marked with reflectors 1 through 5 positioned on it for target accuracy.

(2) The basketball shooting system according to claim 1, wherein the apparatus comprises at least 5 reflectors positioned around the apparatus.

(3) The device of claim 1 comprised substantially of rubber

(4) The device of claim 1 comprised of reflective tape and plastic

(5) The device of claim 1 comprised internally with electroluminescent (el wire), I.e.d light (Light-Emitting Diode) for night play.
