Description

FIELD OF THE INVENTION

This patent specification relates to the field of gaming devices. More specifically, this patent specification relates to a game bag device which may be used for skill toss and throwing games, such as cornhole.

BACKGROUND

Many games require players to throw objects at targets. The game of cornhole is an example, in which players throw or toss bean bags at a gameboard having a hole or cut out in order to score points by having their bags enter the gameboard hole or cut out. During the throwing process, the thrower winds up and releases. During this windup and release, the beads in a traditional bag move freely within the bag. Through the process of the throw, momentum shifts directions and as it does, the beads that are held by the hand tend to roll off the hand and displace around the hand, thus causing the center of gravity of the bag to shift, sometimes dramatically. The shifting of the bag can cause inconsistent throws which can lead to lost games and frustration. Therefore, a need exists for novel game bag devices which may be used for skill toss and throwing games, such as cornhole.

BRIEF SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION

A game bag device is provided which provides stability of the bag device when holding and throwing. The various embodiments also provide the thrower with various landing strategies when the bag comes in contact with the board; e.g., improved sliding, roll bag, blocker bag, hanger bag. These strategies are made possible by the various designs through the center of gravity of the bag device being affected by one or more core structures. By providing areas inside or about the bag device that are more densely packed with filler material, the center of gravity remains constant in the hand. Since there are areas in or about the bag device that have less densely packed filler material, the bag device is still able to perform similar to a standard bag once on the board; e.g., flexible movement, not a completely stiff. The game of cornhole consists of several strategies. One of which is bag placement and blocking on the board. Through various designs and placement of the dense/non-dense materials, the game bag device can achieve consistent blocking and sliding results.

In some embodiments, the device may include: a first sidewall that may be coupled to a second sidewall; a body cavity; a first core structure disposed in the body cavity, the core structure defining a core cavity; a core filler disposed within the core cavity; and a body filler disposed within the body cavity.

In further embodiments, the core filler may have a core average particle size, the body filler may have a body average particle size, and there may be at least a five percent difference between the core average particle size and the body average particle size.

In further embodiments, the core filler may have a core average particle weight, the body filler may have a body average particle weight, and there may be at least a five percent difference between the core average particle weight and the body average particle weight.

In further embodiments, the core filler may have a core density, the body filler may have a body density, and there may be at least a five percent difference between the core density and the body density.

In further embodiments, the device may include: a first sidewall that may be coupled to a second sidewall; a body cavity; a core structure defining a core cavity, the core structure having an aperture; a core filler disposed within the core cavity; and a body filler disposed within the body cavity.

In further embodiments, the core structure may be coupled to the first sidewall and the second sidewall, and an aperture cavity, having an aperture filling, may be formed within the aperture between the first sidewall and the second sidewall.

In further embodiments, the aperture filler may have an aperture density, the body filler may have a body density, and there may be at least a five percent difference between the aperture density and the body density. may have

In further embodiments, the aperture filler may have an aperture density, the core filler may have a core density, and there may be at least a five percent difference between the aperture density and the core density.

For example, a core filler 32 and a core sidewall 33 of a core structure 30 may comprise a neoprene foam material so that the core filler 32 and a core sidewall 33 may be integrally formed together.

In preferred embodiments, a core filler 32 may comprise a plurality of small objects or particles which may act as a fluid or undergo fluid movement within a core cavity 31. For example, a core filler 32 may comprise dry corn feed, dry beans, plastic pellets, plastic spheres, rubber pellets, rubber spheres, styrene pellets, styrene spheres, polystyrene pellets, polystyrene spheres, or some other similar filling. A core filler 32 may comprise a core average particle size which may describe the average particle size or volume of the individual particles of the core filler 32. For example, core average particle size may range from 0.1 to 15 millimeters, although any size may be used. A core filler 32 may comprise a core average particle weight which may describe the average particle weight of the individual particles of the core filler 32. A core filler 32 may comprise a core density which may be determined by the mass of the core filler 32 divided by the volume of the core cavity 31 that the core filler 32 is able to move in or occupy.
