摘要：A breakaway basketball rim assembly in which there is a release assembly which operably interconnects the base member and the rim member, the release assembly being configured to release the rim member in response to a downward load which is received at any point along an extended frontal arc of the circular hoop portion, so that the hoop tilts downwardly generally in the direction of the load. There is also a reaction load mechanism for returning the hoop to its horizontal playing position. In a preferred embodiment, a U-shaped fulcrum joint extends between the reaction load in the hoop so as to provide a pivot point in line between the reaction load and any impact point along the extended frontal arc of the hoop. The joint is configured so that the rim releases in response to a substantially identical impact load anywhere along the frontal arc. The rim comprises a rim portion, a backboard mounting portion, and bolts for securing the rim portion to the mounting portion. The rim portion has a ring with a lower surface. A plurality of tubes are mounted on the lower surface of a ring with gaps between adjacent tubes. Openings extend through the tubes. An elongated member extends through the tube. A net is suspended from the rim portion by placing an upper loop of the net in a gap between any given pair of adjacent tubes and inserting the elongate member
through the given pair of adjacent tubes.
