Methods for Implementing an Ultraviolet Court Illumination System

Abstract

A system and method are provided for transforming standard sporting playing fields into visually enhanced environments. The method includes the steps of deploying initial locational target components within a playing court and installing telescopic poles along with base pedestals on at least four fences surrounding the court. These telescopic poles and base pedestals are adjustable to fit variations in fencing and court dimensions. A continuous strap line is established along the fences by attaching straps to a plurality of baseline chain-link fencing posts. The system further includes means for monitoring and adjusting the tension of the telescopic poles and base pedestals to ensure both safety and stability of the setup. The system is specifically configured to facilitate the implementation of this method, thereby enhancing the visual and functional aspects of standard sporting fields.

         2 . The method as claimed in  claim 1 , wherein the setup components include one or more telescopic poles, base pedestals and straps. 
     
     
         3 . The method as claimed in  claim 1 , wherein the initial locational target components are fence brackets. 
     
     
         4 . The method as claimed in  claim 1 , wherein the positioning telescopic poles include placing the telescopic poles. 
     
     
         5 . The method as claimed in  claim 3 , wherein the positioning base pedestals includes placing the base pedestals adjacent to the fence brackets where there is no fence. 
     
     
         6 . The method as claimed in  claim 1 , wherein the dual-function overhead strapping includes using nylon rope as overhead strapping on a fence that is 7 feet or less. 
     
     
         7 . The method as claimed in  claim 6 , wherein the dual-function overhead strapping includes securing one end of the nylon rope to a baseline chain-link fencing post and extending the nylon rope across to the other baseline chain-link fencing post. 
     
     
         8 . A method comprising steps of:
 placing initial locational target components in a court having at least four fences to guide a setup of court equipment, wherein the initial locational target components are placed on the at least four fences of the court;   positioning telescopic poles and base pedestals on the at least four fences of the court, wherein the telescopic poles and base pedestals are attached to the initial locational target components;   adjusting the telescopic poles and base pedestals to accommodate variations in fencing and court dimensions;   creating a continuous strap line on the at least four fences by straps attached to a plurality of baseline chain-link fencing posts, utilizing dual-function overhead strapping, wherein the plurality of baseline chain-link fencing posts are attached to the at least four fences; and   monitoring and adjusting tension in the telescopic poles, base pedestals, and to ensure safety and stability.   
     
     
         9 . The method as claimed in  claim 8 , wherein the initial locational target components are fence brackets. 
     
     
         10 . The method as claimed in  claim 8 , wherein the positioning telescopic poles include placing the telescopic poles at locations where a fence is less than 8 feet high or absent. 
     
     
         11 . The method as claimed in  claim 9 , wherein the positioning base pedestals includes placing the base pedestals adjacent to the fence brackets that are not attached to a fence. 
     
     
         12 . The method as claimed in  claim 8 , wherein the dual-function overhead strapping includes using nylon rope as overhead strapping on a fence that is 7 feet or less. 
     
     
         13 . The method as claimed in  claim 12 , wherein the dual-function overhead strapping includes securing one end of the nylon rope to a baseline chain-link fencing post and extending the nylon rope across to the other baseline chain-link fencing post. 
     
     
         14 . A system comprising:
 initial locational target components placed in a court having at least four fences, wherein the initial locational target components are placed on the at least four fences of the court;   telescopic poles and base pedestals placed on the at least four fences of the court, wherein the telescopic poles and base pedestals are attached to the initial locational target components;   a continuous strap line on the at least four fences created by straps attached to a plurality of baseline chain-link fencing posts, utilizing dual-function overhead strapping, wherein the plurality of baseline chain-link fencing posts are attached to the at least four fences; and   a fluorescent tape attached to the court;   blacklight fixtures placed in the court;   LED magnetic flashing lights placed in the court and   a plurality of LED stringer power cords attached to the LED magnetic flashing lights.   
     
     
         15 . The method as claimed in  claim 14 , wherein the court is at least one of a tennis court, pickleball court, padel court, or basketball court. 
     
     
         16 . The method as claimed in  claim 14 , wherein the initial locational target components are fence brackets. 
     
     
         17 . The method as claimed in  claim 14 , wherein the positioning telescopic poles include placing the telescopic poles at locations where a fence is less than 8 feet high or absent. 
     
     
         18 . The method as claimed in  claim 16 , wherein the positioning base pedestals includes placing the base pedestals adjacent to the fence brackets that are not attached to a fence. 
     
     
         19 . The method as claimed in  claim 18 , wherein the dual-function overhead strapping includes using nylon rope as overhead strapping on a fence that is 7 feet or less.
