Nov. 12, 1968 B.J. HARRISON MAGNETIC BALL AND CHAIN GAME Filed June 25, 1965 FIG. 2
INVENTOR. BILLY JACK HARRISON BY [dazed- FIG. I
United States Patent 3,410,554 MAGNETIC BALL AND CHAIN GAME Billy Jack Harrison, Keiser, Ark. (Rte. 2, Batesville, Ark. 72501) Filed June 23, 1965, Ser. No. 466,396 6 Claims. (Cl. 2731) ABSTRACT OF THE DISCLOSURE A ball and chain game having a length of chain with attachment means at one end thereof for attaching the chain to the ankle of the player and said chain being provided with magnetic means at the opposite end thereof to engage a ball portion of the game which has a block of magnetically attractable material secured to the ball in the interior thereof. A modified game has an additional chain portion and attachment means so that the additional chain portion can be attached to a second players leg for the game to be played by two players.
This invention relates generally to amusement contrivances, and particularly relates to a game played with a ball and chain simulating somewhat the ball and chain shackled to and used for restraining prisoners.
An object of the present invention is to provide a substantially simple game which does not include intricate structure or require complicated score-keeping procedures.
A further object is to provide a game developing skill in muscular coordination and developing speed, agility and improved equilibrium in the players.
A further object is to provide a game particularly suitable for developing leg muscles.
A further object is to provide a versatile game which may be played by one or more players.
A further object is to provide a game which may be played and enjoyed by players of any age.
A further object is to provide a game which may be played indoors or out-of-doors.
A further object is to provide a game which is simple and no batteries, or liquids will be required.
The means by which the foregoing and other objects of the present invention are accomplished and the manner of their accomplishment will be readily understood from the following specification upon reference to the accompanying drawings, in which:
FIG. 1 is a perspective view of the ball and chain game structure, and illustrating the chain being shackled to a players ankle as in play.
FIG. 2 is a sectional view taken as on the line IIII of FIG. 1.
FIG. 3 illustrates another embodiment of the present invention.
Referring now to the drawings in which the various parts are indicated by numerals, the ball and game structure is indicated generally by numeral 11 and includes a ball part 13 and a chain part 15.
In playing the game, a player fastens adjustable band 29 around his ankle. Ball part 13 is disconnected from chain part 15 and is placed on the floor. The weight of block 19 in the interior of sphere 17 causes the sphere to roll and become orientated with opening 21 disposed upwardly. The player may sit in a chair or stand and, while in either position, attempts to manipulate chain part 15 into such a position that magnet 31 may be lowered into opening 21 to magnetically engage block 19 with magnet 31 and thus connect the ball and chain parts 13, 15.
The embodiment of the game structure illustrated in FIG. 3 is indicated by numeral 52 and is adapted to be played with in a somewhat different manner than game structure 11. Game structure 52 is adapted tobe played by a pair of players and includes a pair of chain portions 53, 53 and a pair of adjustable bands 55, 55. Rivets 57, 57' extending respectively through apertures provided in the respective end links of chain portions 53, 53' and bands 55, 55, attach the respective chain portions and hands together. Manually releasable resilient clasp links 59, 59' are respectively secured on the inwardly disposed ends of chain portions 53, 53. Game structure 52 additionally includes a short chain portion 61, a ring 63, an extension member 65, and a disc-shaped magnet 67. Extension member 65 and magnet 67 are of the same configuration as extension member 43 and magnet 31 of game structure 11 and are attached to the lower end link of chain portion 61. Ring 63 is secured by the upper end link of chain portion 61. Clasp links 59, 59 respectively of pair of chain portion 53, 53' are releasably attached to ring 63. It will be understood that a first length of chain is provided by chain portion 53, ring 63, and chain portion 61, and that a second length of chain is provided by chain portion 53 which is connected as above-described to said first length of chain intermediate the length of said first length of chain. A plastic sphere 69, having a disc-shaped block 71, provides the ball part of game structure 52.
In playing the ball and chain game with the structure of the second embodiment, a pair of players each fasten one of bands 55, 55' on one ankle. The players, being thus shackled together, attempt by coordinated leg and body movements to drop magnet 67 into the interior of sphere 69 and to magnetically engage and support the sphere on the end of chain portion 61. Substantially the same game as above described relative to game structure 11 may also be played with game structure 52, with the players arranged in pairs. Competitive games may be played with four or eight players in much the same manner as described above for the first embodiment.
The game structure of the present invention develops speed, agility, and balance in the players; it is a versatile game which may be played in several ways and either indoors or out-of-doors. The game may be played by one or more players of various ages. In summary, the present invention provides a fascinating game structure providing many hours of pleasure for the player or players.
Although the invention has been described in some detail by way of illustration and example for purposes of clarity or understanding, it is to be understood that it is not to be so limited since changes and modifications may be made therein which are within the full intended scope of this invention as hereinafter claimed.
