Claims8
A portable, self-standing ball rebounder, comprising:
- An upper frame and a lower frame, the upper frame disposed a spaced distance substantially above and parallel to the lower frame when the rebounder is in use, with the upper frame having substantially the same shape as the lower frame, wherein both of the frames are constructed in a manner so as to form a generally continuous hoop that includes a curved portion, with a flexible material spanning the distance between the upper and lower frames, the material providing an outwardly facing elastic ball rebound surface that surrounds the periphery of the rebounder, and means for reversibly collapsing the rebounder, to collapse the rebounder into a flattened condition for storing the rebounder, so that that the upper frame is substantially adjacent to the lower frame when in such condition, and for raising the upper frame from the lower frame and holding the upper frame spaced above the lower frame in order to use the rebounder.
