Basketball goal.
194119551AB1941. University City 1941. 29 : 195 cm. 1 leaf text 1 leaf illustrations. Alvie E. Sanberg of University City Missouri invented a number of different goal improvements. On February 24 1936 he filed both a design patent application and a utility patent application for his new "Baketball Goal"; the two patents were issued a week apart in September of that same year. Prior to his invention nets had to be tied or lanced on to the hoop. But thanks to Sandberg all one neeeds to do is take loops from the net and hook them over the connectors circling the ring. This method is so effective that we could not think today of attaching the net any other mode. - See "Smithonian - The patent behind Basketball". unknown
