Abstract

A ball stopping net is provided, which includes a loop, propping poles, fold-butting poles, hexagonal-shaped holding fabrics, and a net. Each of the two propping poles comprises an upper end and a lower end, and the upper end is curved and engaged rotatably with a mid point of a corresponding side portion of the loop. Each of the two fold-butting poles comprises a first arm and a second arm engaging each other with a hinge, and the first arm is connected to a lower point of the loop rotatably and the second arm is connected to a lower point of a corresponding propping pole rotatably. Each of the two hexagonal-shaped holding fabrics has three queuing sides and three plain sides alternatively, and are queued through the queuing side of the hexagonal-shaped holding fabric.

Claims

1. A ball stopping net comprising:

a loop having a top portion, two side portions, and a bottom portion;

four fabric corner-holders provided at four corners of the loop and configured to hold and make a substantially rectangular shape when deployed;

four fabric side-holders provided at four sides on the loop and configured to hold the four sides on the loop;

two propping poles, each of which comprising an upper end and a lower end, wherein the upper end engages with a first queuing hole provided at an upper point of a corresponding fabric side-holder of the loop and the lower end is anchored on a ground point behind the loop;

two fold-butting poles, each of which comprising a first arm and a second arm engaging each other with a hinge, wherein the first arm engages with a second queuing hole provided at a lower point of a corresponding fabric side-holder of the loop and the second arm is connected to a lower point of a corresponding propping pole rotatably, such that the hinge is configured to be folded and straightened;

two hexagonal-shaped holding fabrics, each of which having three queuing sides and three plain sides alternatingly, wherein each of the three queuing sides is configured to hold one of the side portion of the loop, the propping poles, and the fold-butting pole that are queued through the queuing side of the hexagonal-shaped holding fabric; and

a net with edges attached to the loop, the net being configured to receive, decelerate, stop, and hold a projectile therein.

2. The ball stopping net of claim 1, wherein the queuing sides holding the loop are provided in fixed forms.

3. The ball stopping net of claim 1, wherein the queuing sides holding the propping pole and the fold-butting pole are provided detachably.

4. The ball stopping net of claim 3, wherein each of the queuing sides holding the propping pole and the fold-butting pole comprises a queuing hole provided through an edge of the queuing side.

5. The ball stopping net of claim 1, wherein the hexagonal-shaped holding fabric has length for each of the six sides so as to make the ball stopping net is stable when deployed and impacted by a ball with a predetermined force or less.

6. The ball stopping net of claim 1, further comprising a connecting bar configured to connect the lower end of the two propping poles.

7. The ball stopping net of claim 1, wherein the loop is collapsible.

8. The ball stopping net of claim 1, wherein each one of the first and second queuing holes further comprises a stopper connected to the fabric side-holder, wherein the stopper has a stopping hole where the end of the poles are received and held in place.

9. The ball stopping net of claim 1, wherein each of the fold-butting poles is folded downward only or upward only.

10. A ball stopping net comprising:

a loop having a top portion, two side portions, and a bottom portion;

four fabric corner-holders provided at four corners of the loop and configured to hold and make a substantially rectangular shape when deployed;

four fabric side-holders provided at four sides on the loop and configured to hold the four sides on the loop;

two propping poles, each of which comprising an upper end and a lower end, wherein the upper end engages with a first queuing hole provided at an upper point of a corresponding fabric side-holder of the loop and the lower end is anchored on a ground point behind the loop;

two base poles, each of which comprising extending from a lower corner of the loop;

two hexagonal-shaped holding fabrics, each of which having three queuing sides and three plain sides alternatingly, wherein each of the three queuing sides is configured to hold one of the side portion of the loop, the propping poles, and the base pole that are queued through the queuing side of the hexagonal-shaped holding fabric; and

a net with edges attached to the loop, the net being configured to receive, decelerate, stop, and hold a projectile therein.

11. A ball stopping net comprising:

a main frame having a top portion and two side portion;

two propping poles, each of which comprising an upper end and a lower end, wherein the upper end is curved and engaged rotatably with a mid point of a corresponding side portion of the main frame;

two fold-butting poles, each of which comprising a first arm and a second arm engaging each other with a hinge, wherein the first arm is connected to a lower point of the main frame rotatably and the second arm is connected to a lower point of a corresponding propping pole rotatably, such that the hinge is configured to be folded and straightened;

two hexagonal-shaped holding fabrics, each of which having three queuing sides and three plain sides alternatingly, wherein each of the three queuing sides is configured to hold one of the side portion of the main frame, the propping poles, and the fold-butting pole that are queued through the queuing side of the hexagonal-shaped holding fabric; and

a net with edges attached to the main frame, the net being configured to receive, decelerate, stop, and hold a projectile therein.

12. The ball stopping net of claim 11, wherein the queuing sides holding the main frame and the propping pole are provided in fixed forms.

13. The ball stopping net of claim 11, wherein the queuing side holding the fold-butting pole is provided detachably.

14. The ball stopping net of claim 11, wherein the hexagonal-shaped holding fabric has length for each of the six sides so as to make the main frame and the propping poles form an angle smaller than 90 degrees when deployed.

15. The ball stopping net of claim 14, wherein the upper arm of the propping pole meets the main frame about with a right angle.

16. The ball stopping net of claim 11, further comprising a connecting bar configured to connect the lower end of the two propping poles.

17. The ball stopping net of claim 11, wherein each of the fold-butting poles is folded upward only.

18. The ball stopping net of claim 11, wherein each of the fold-butting poles is folded downward only.

19. The ball stopping net of claim 11, wherein each of the two hexagonal-shaped holding fabrics comprises an elastic fabric portion, wherein each of the three queuing sides comprises a pipe hook.
