Pool side hoop game backboard

Claim 1

A poolside hoop game device comprising: a truncated substantially pyramidal-shaped elongated hollow lightweight support base having top and bottom planar surfaces and converging front and rear planar faces; a pair of spaced support members secured to said top surface of said base and extending a short distance forwardly of said front face at an angle of inclination substantially the same as the angle of inclination of said rear face; a vertical plate secured to said supports; a vertical planar backboard adjusably connected to said plate and superimposed thereon; said plate and said backboard including means for varying the height of said backboard relative to a side of a pool; said planar backboard surface including first and second rebound wings connected along opposite edges of the backboard surface and extending vertically along the edges, said planar backboard surface further including a third rebound wing extending along a lower edge of the backboard surface, said wings being adjustably secured to said backboard surface for providing an angle of about 45 degrees with respect to the planar background surfaces; and a circular hoop connected to said planar backboard surface and being positioned at a right angle with respect to said backboard surface; said third rebound wing extending along a lower edge of the backboard surface at a point immediately below the connection of the hoop to the backboard surface; said support base being so constructed and of sufficient stability for solely maintaining said device in an upright position during use thereof.
