Abstract
A stylized game system which includes a tossable object such as a ball affixed to a string. The tossable object is suspended from the string a distance away from a backboard and is attached to a raised surface such as a ceiling or a telescoping pole. The object is tossed along a path toward the backboard with the intent of placing the object into a goal located on the backboard. The goal and backboard could be a cup, a hoop, or other receptacle for receiving the object.
Description
- This application claims priority in U.S. Provisional Patent Application No. 62/164,388 filed May 20, 2015, which is incorporated herein by reference.
- 1. Field of the Invention
- The present invention relates generally to a game system, and more specifically to a ball toss game system including an anchored string, a ball, and a target.
- 2. Description of the Related Art
- Popular gaming systems including ring toss games involving a ring, a hook, and a board have existed for a long time. Similar games which also involve a rod extending out above the board with a string affixed to the rod and the ring have also been around for quite some time. Variants of this game come in a number of names, such as “Bimini Ring,” “Bimini Toss,” “Tiki Toss,” “Wallhooky,” and, simply, “Ring Toss.”
- The typical set-up for such a game requires the user to place a hook somewhere, either temporarily or permanently. A ring is then affixed to a string by tying the string directly to the edge of the ring. The other end of the string is affixed to a rod or other object, allowing the user to swing the ring from a starting position and attempt to hook the ring onto the hook.
- What is desired is a new gaming system with new challenges for players. Heretofore there has not been available a game system with the advantages and features of the present invention.
- The present invention relates to a highly-portable game which includes a ball on a string anchored to a point, such as a telescoping rod, and a target for receiving the ball when tossed. The backboard and goal can be stylized for unique looks and altered aspects of the game, such as a goal resembling a basketball net with a recess resembling a basketball hoop. The telescoping rod is connected to and received within the backboard and telescopes out to provide a vertical connection point for the string to attach when a ceiling or other structure is not suitable. A cord lock located at the tip of the telescoping rod secures the end of the string. This provides a highly mobile, self-contained game system.
- The drawings constitute a part of this specification and include exemplary embodiments of the present invention illustrating various objects and features thereof.

- A preferred embodiment
ball game system 2 includes aball 4 connected to astring 14 which is tied or otherwise connected to aceiling 16 or other raised element. As shown inFIG. 1 , thestring 14 is connected to aceiling 16 through aneye hook 12 or other connection device. This could be replaced with a long pole or other element raised above thebackboard 6 which is connected to a generallyvertical surface 18 such as a wall. Agoal 8 including anindented receiver space 10 extends away from thebackboard 6 and serves as the target for theball 4 which is swung through the air on thestring 14. Theball 4 may be connected to the string via a hook element. The purpose of the game is to toss theball 4 along a path such that it swings along thestring 14 and sits in thereceiver space 10 of the goal. -
FIGS. 2 and 3 show one type of hook element having aconnection end 20 for tying the string to the hook, a hook body 22, and a double-end 24. The hook body 22 penetrates through theball 4 and the double-end 24 rests against an opposite surface of the ball, thereby ensuring the ball remains on the hook while the game is played. -
FIGS. 4 and 5 show a slightly alternative hook element having thesame connection end 20, but thebody 32 of the hook doesn't completely pass through theball 4, but rather is inserted into the ball and kept connected to the ball by abarbed end 34 of the hook. This could be used to pierce a ping-pong ball or some similar ball which is easily replaceable. -
FIG. 6 shows a slightly alternative embodimentball games system 52 to the above embodiment. Here, theball 4 is tossed to abackboard 56 where thegoal 58 resembles a golf tee and thereceiver space 60 resembles the top of a golf tee where a golf ball would typically rest prior to being teed off. Theball 4 could also be a golf ball or simply look like a golf ball. Thebackboard 56 could even resemble a golf course, golf flag, or other golf-related element. - Similar to above,
FIG. 7 shows a slightly alternative embodimentball game system 102. Here, theball 104 is shaped like a basketball, but could be a plain ball as disclosed above. Thebackboard 106 would resemble a basketball backboard or could be any backboard. Thegoal 108 resembles a basketball hoop and net, and may actually include a physical net. Thereceiver 110 could be a recessed receiver as disclosed above, or an open hoop for receiving theball 104 within the hoop, which is caught in the net of thegoal 108. -
FIG. 8 shows analternative backboard 154 which has areceiver 156 for receiving atelescoping arm 160 as shown inFIG. 9 . At least one mountinghole 158 could be included in thebackboard 154 for receiving a screw or nail for mounting thebackboard 154 against a vertical surface, such as a wall. Thetelescoping arm 160 includingmultiple telescoping segments 162 which telescope out to form an elongated arm for connecting a string for holding a ball element as disclosed above or a ring element as disclosed below. Thetip 164 of thearm 160 includesholes 168 for receiving the string. Aninsert end 166 is received by thereceiver 156 inserted into thebackboard 154. -
FIG. 10 shows this assembly fully constructed.FIG. 11 shows how the parts may separate, including thereceiver 156 removed from ahole 157 within the backboard.FIG. 12 shows additional detail of the telescoping arm, including theholes 168 for receiving the string. -
FIG. 13 shows a combination of the elements discussed above. Thetelescoping rod 160 is affixed to thebackboard 154 which is attached to avertical structure 18. Thesegments 162 of therod 160 are extended and thestring 14 is attached to theholes 168 in the tip of the rod. As shown, theball 4 can be tossed along a path suspended by thestring 14 towards thegoal 108 with the intent of placing the ball within therecess 110. The ball is connected to the string via the hook, which is connected to thestring 14 via the connection end. - It is to be understood that the invention can be embodied in various forms, and is not to be limited to the examples discussed above. The range of components and configurations which can be utilized in the practice of the present invention is virtually unlimited.
