Abstract
A device which is especially adapted for use as a golf practice unit or as a game takes the form of a solid ring or band mounted on an adjustable stand or base which is capable of supporting a target so that the target rests substantially in a horizontal plane. The target proper is comprised of a fabric or fabric-like material and is characterized in particular by having outer peripheral flaps extending from the outer surrounding edge of the target which are sized to be passed around opposite sides of the outer ring member, then adjustably secured together to establish the desired tautness in the target. One or more ball returns may be placed in the surface of the target so as to permit use and playing by a number of individuals at one time.
Claims9
A ball target apparatus comprising:
- an open frame member having an outer peripheral, generally circular support rim, and means to support said rim in an elevated, substantially horizontal position above the ground, and
- a target member defined by a panel composed of a fabric or fabric-like material dimensioned to terminate in an outer peripheral edge which will fit within said rim, and outer peripheral connecting means having a pair of generally circular flap members connected together along the outer peripheral edge of said panel and extending away from said panel around opposite upper and lower edges of said rim, said flap members terminating in free edges and provided with spaced openings along the length of said flap members adjacent to said free edges, and fastener means adapted to be passed through said openings in said flap members whereby to adjustably secure said flap members together along the external surface of said rim under a predetermined degree of tension.
A golf practice device comprising:
- an open frame member having an outer peripheral, generally circular support rim provided with upper and lower edges, and means to support said rim in an elevated, substantially horizontal position above the ground, and
- a target member defined by a panel composed of a fabric or fabric-like material dimensioned to have an outer peripheral edge which will fit within said rim, and outer peripheral connecting means having a pair of generally circular flap members connected together along said outer peripheral edge of said panel and extending away from said panel around opposite upper and lower edges of said rim, said connecting means being adjustably secured together outwardly of said rim to stretch said panel across said rim under predetermined tension.
