Basketball goal assembly with lift actuator

Abstract

A basketball goal assembly with lift actuator that has up and down vertical movement to let a user make shots at different positions. A scissor lift mechanism for use on a basketball goal or the like, the lift having scissor leg units connected to each. The lift is raised and lowered by a means for providing movement for the basketball goal. The means may be provided by a linear actuator. A safety guard is added to prevent objects from entering the scissor units. The safety guard can be on at least one side of the chassis. The linear actuator is connected to a motor housing. A control signal generator generates a control signal for completing the electrical circuit between the motor and the battery by use of a remote control.

1 . A basketball goal assembly with lift actuator, the device comprising:
 an actuator, with linear movement, including at least one motor, circuit, battery or plug-in cord; and the battery or plug-in cord energizing the motor to move the operator in response to a control signal by a wired or wireless remote; said actuator is engaged and operating the scissor lift; A safety guard mechanism attached to at least one side of the chassis.   
     
     
         2 . The device of  claim 1 , wherein said scissor lift is attached to the basketball goal that is in vertical up-down position in the section above said scissor lift; and 
     
     
         3 . The device of  claim 1 , wherein at least one battery or power plug-in cord is the sole source of power for the motor; 
     
     
         4 . The device of  claim 1 , wherein a linear actuator connected to said scissor lift, operatively raising and lowering the platform; 
     
     
         5 . The device of  claim 1 , wherein a safety guard mechanism attached to at least one side of the chassis; 
     
     
         6 . The device of  claim 1 , further comprising a control signal that can be generated in response to a predetermined speed, or in response to a user-generated remote command signal. A control signal generator generates a control signal for completing the electrical circuit between the motor and the battery by use of a controller and remote.
