Multi-sports ball/disk return net system and method thereof

A system for returning a propelled projectile back toward a user who propelled the projectile into the system, comprising:

• a frame which includes:
• an upper front transverse member having a first end and a second end, and
• first and second upper rearwardly extending horizontal members, each of said upper rearwardly extending horizontal members having a first end and a second end,
• first and second upper downwardly extending vertical members, each upper downwardly extending vertical member having a first end and a second end,
• first and second intermediate downwardly extending and forwardly inclined members, each intermediate downwardly extending and forwardly inclined member having a first end and a second end, and
• first and second lower downwardly extending vertical members, each lower downwardly extending vertical member having a first end and a second end,
• first and second lower rearwardly extending horizontal members, each of said lower rearwardly extending horizontal members having a first end and a second end,
• a lower rear transverse member having a first end and a second end,
• wherein the first end of said upper front transverse member is interconnectable to the first end of said first upper rearwardly extending horizontal member and the second end of said upper front transverse member is interconnectable to the first end of said second upper rearwardly extending horizontal member, each second end of said first and second upper rearwardly extending horizontal members is interconnectable to each first end of said first and second upper downwardly extending vertical members, each second end of said first and second upper downwardly extending vertical members is interconnectable to each first end of said first and second intermediate downwardly extending and forwardly inclined members, each second end of said first and second intermediate downwardly extending and forwardly inclined members is interconnectable to each first end of said first and second lower downwardly extending vertical members, each second end of said first and second lower downwardly extending vertical members is interconnectable to each first end of said first and second lower rearwardly extending horizontal members, the second end of said first lower rearwardly extending horizontal member is interconnectable to said first end of said lower rear transverse member, and the second end of said second lower rearwardly extending horizontal member is interconnectable to said second end of said lower rear transverse member;
• and
• a net defining an upper forward bulging portion and a lower generally U-shape channel portion, having a generally bread shape with a wider bulging upper portion, a wider rectangular lower portion, a narrower tapered middle portion, and an upper edge and a lower edge that are substantially parallel to each other and of substantially the same width,
• wherein said upper edge of said net is configured to be sleeved and positioned across said upper front transverse member of said frame, said upper portion of said net is configured to be sleeved and positioned across said first and second upper rearwardly extending horizontal members and said first and second upper downwardly extending vertical members of said frame, and said middle portion of said net is configured to be sleeved and positioned across said first and second intermediate downwardly extending and forwardly inclined members and said first and second lower downwardly extending vertical members of said frame, such that a projectile propelled into said net is discharged from the lowest and central point of said U-shape channel portion back toward the user.

A method of returning a propelled projectile back toward a user who propelled the projectile, comprising the steps of:

• providing a frame having an upper portion and two side portions;
• providing a net having a generally bread shape with a wider bulging upper portion, a wider rectangular lower portion, a narrower tapered middle portion, and an upper edge and a lower edge that are substantially parallel to each other and of substantially the same width, attachable to said upper and two side portions of said frame and defining an upper forward bulging portion that is angled in a rearward direction and a lower generally U-shape channel portion across said two side portions of said frame;
• absorbing the energy of a projectile propelled into said upper forward bulging portion of said net, with said net moving in the direction of the propelled projectile;
• returning the net to its original position allowing the projectile to move in the direction opposite its propelled direction and into said lower generally U-shape channel portion of said net;
• and
• discharging the projectile at the lowest and central point of said U-shape channel portion of said net back toward the user.

A system for returning a propelled projectile back toward a user who propelled the projectile into the system, comprising:

• a frame;
• and
• a net mounted across and on said frame, said net defining an upper forward bulging impact portion, a middle generally U-shape channel return portion and a lower non-impact portion,
• wherein a projectile propelled into said upper forward bulging impact portion of said net is discharged from the lowest and central point of said U-shape channel return portion back toward the user, and a projectile propelled into said lower non-impact portion is trapped therein.
