FIG. 1 illustrates one embodiment on the present invention. Thebase 50 supports thefirst member 20 andthird member 40. As illustrated, thebase 50 may be of a rectangular shape. However it may also be a non-rectangular shape, such as circular or oval. A receivingmember 90 is located on thebase 50. The receivingmember 90 is capable of receiving thefirst member 20 andthird member 40 therein. Thefirst member 20 andthird member 40 may be removably secured within the receivingmember 90. Thefirst member 20 andthird member 40 may be oriented in a substantially or exactly in a vertical position. Thereceiving member 90 may extend upwardly from thebase 50 about ½ of an inch. Thebase 50 may have a receivingmember 90, and a different receivingmember 90. Thefirst member 20 and thethird member 40 may be secured within said receivingmembers 90 by a set screw, or as described above, a force fit. - A
second member 30, afourth member 110, and afifth member 120 may be oriented in a substantially or exactly vertical position and connected at one end to thefirst member 20, and at the other end to thethird member 40. Thefirst member 20 andthird member 40 may be of substantially equal length. Thesecond member 30, thefourth member 110, andfifth member 120 may be of substantially equal length. - The
first member 20,second member 30,third member 40,fourth member 50, andfifth member 110, andsixth member 120 may be of a material that is transparent or translucent, so that light may emanate from within the respective member so that the respective member is visible in the dark. -
FIG. 2 illustrates alight source 60 may be disposed within eachmember light source 60 may be a string of lights or rope-type lighting. A male electronic plug end 80 may be disposed at the first member aperture 80 so that it plugs into a female plug disposed at thebase aperture 100. Acord receiver 70 may be disposed on the base so that a power cord from an outlet may be plugged into the cord disposed at thecord receiver 70 to power the system and apparatus. -
FIG. 3 illustrates thebase 50. The base 50 may have a receivingmember 90 that receives a portion of thefirst member 20 andthird member 40 within the receivingmember 90. Also illustrated is thebase aperture 100. Thebase aperture 100 may be the same as the receivingmember 90, as illustrated. Alternatively, the base aperture may be located in a different position. Further, acord receiver 70 may be disposed in thebase 50. Thecord receiver 70 is an aperture that allows an extension cord to be plugged into the cord within thebase 50. -
FIG. 4 illustrates themembers first member 20 andthird member 40 are about 44.5 inches in height; and disposed on the base 50 about 28 inches apart from each; thethird member 30,fourth member 110, andfifth member 120 span about 28 inches fromfirst member 20 tothird member 40; and thethird member 30 is about 15 inches above thefourth member 110; thefourth member 110 is about 15 inches above thefifth member 120. In one embodiment, each member may be about 1¾ inches thick. -
FIG. 5 illustrates the base 50 according to one embodiment of the invention. The base 50 may be a rectangle that is about 36 inches by 32 inches. The base 50 may be made of a base member one 200, connected to a base member two 210 that is substantially perpendicular to base member one 200. A base member three 230 may be connected to the base member two 210. Base member three 230 may be oriented substantially perpendicular to base member two 210; thus base member three 230 may be substantially parallel to base member one 210. A base member four 240 may be connected to the base member three 230 in a substantially perpendicular orientation with respect to base member four 240. On one embodiment each member may be about 1¾ inches in thickness. - In one embodiment the receiving
member 90 may have aseal 270 that can slide vertically along thefirst member 20 andthird member 40. Theseal 270 can be rested on the receivingmember 90. This seal may aid in directing water away from entering the receivingmember 90. - In one embodiment, the
first member 20 may be connected to thesecond member 30 via a curved pipe fitting 305, as illustrated inFIG. 1 . These fittings may be force fittings whereby thefirst member 20 may be pushed into the curved pipe fitting 305 where it is held in place by the tight fit between thefirst member 20 and the curved pipe fitting 305. In another embodiment of the present invention, thefirst member 20 may be inserted within the curved pipe fitting 305, and a set screw may be disposed through a threadably engaging portion of both the curved pipe fitting 305 and thefirst member 20 to hold thefirst member 20 in place with respect to the curved pipe fitting 305. In a further embodiment, thefirst member 20 may be threadably engaged with the curved pipe fitting 305 so that thefirst member 20 can be tightened with respect to the curved pipe fitting 305. - Similarly the
second member 30 may be connected to thethird member 40 via thefitting 300. Thefourth member 110 may be connected to thefirst member 20 and thethird member 40 via thefitting 300. - Similarly the base members one, two, three, and four 200, 210, 230, and 240 may be connected via a
fitting 300. The receivingmember 90 may fit over the base member one 200 and a base member five 205 as illustrated inFIG. 5 . A base member five 205 and base member one 200 may both fit within the receivingmember 90 so that base member one 200 is aligned in substantially the same linear axis 400 as base member five 205. The base member three 230 and a base member six 235 may both fit within the receivingmember 90 in the same way as the base member five 205 and base member one 200. - In one embodiment the game has two colored or glowing balls connected together with ⅜ inch nylon rope that is about 21 inches in length. The balls are thrown from a distance at the illuminated game 10. One object of the game is to have the balls and rope land on either the
second member 30,fourth member 110, orfifth member 120. Two illuminated games 10 may be spaced about 40 feet apart. The material used for most of the transparent components may be 1½ inch clear PVC pipe. Theillumination device 60 may be rope light. The base 50 need not be illuminated, and need not be made of transparent or translucent material. The game 10 may be sold with sets of balls, six for daytime, and six sets for nighttime use. - It should be understood, of course, that the foregoing relates to exemplary embodiments of the invention and that modifications may be made without departing from the spirit and scope of the invention as set forth in the following claims.
