The disclosure and prior art relates to game assemblies and more particularly pertains to a new game assembly for entertainment.
An embodiment of the disclosure meets the needs presented above by generally comprising a post that is coupled to a base, from which the post extends perpendicularly. Each of a plurality of crossbars is coupled to and extends bidirectionally from the post. Each crossbar is substantially U-shaped so that opposing ends of the crossbar extend toward a top of the post. Each of a plurality of rings is configured to be grasped in a hand of a user who is positioned proximate to the post. The user is positioned to toss the ring toward the post intending the ring to insertably couple to a respective crossbar.
There has thus been outlined, rather broadly, the more important features of the disclosure in order that the detailed description thereof that follows may be better understood, and in order that the present contribution to the art may be better appreciated. There are additional features of the disclosure that will be described hereinafter and which will form the subject matter of the claims appended hereto.
The objects of the disclosure, along with the various features of novelty which characterize the disclosure, are pointed out with particularity in the claims annexed to and forming a part of this disclosure.
The disclosure will be better understood and objects other than those set forth above will become apparent when consideration is given to the following detailed description thereof. Such description makes reference to the annexed drawings wherein:
With reference now to the drawings, and in particular to
As best illustrated in
Each second rod 18 comprises a pair of sections 20. Each of a pair of second connectors 22 is coupled to a respective first rod 16 distal from the first connector 14. The second connectors 22 are T-shaped and tubular-type. Each second connector 22 is positioned to selectively insert a respective pair of sections 20 so that the sections 20 are opposingly positioned and frictionally coupled to the second connector 22.
A post 24 is coupled to and extends perpendicularly from the base 12. The post 24 comprises a plurality of tubes 26. The plurality of tubes 26 comprises seven tubes 26. Each tube 26 has a lower end 28. The lower end 28 of a respective tube 26 is positioned to insert into the first connector 14 to couple the post 24 to the base 12. The respective tube 26 is selectively rotatable relative to the base 12.
Each of a plurality of couplers 30 is coupled to an upper end 32 of a respective tube 26. The couplers 30 are tubular-type and cross-shaped, as shown in
The assembly 10 comprises a plurality of finials 34. Each finial 34 comprises a bar 36 that is selectively insertable into a top 38 of the post 24 to couple the finial 34 to the post 24. Each finial 34 has a respective shape so that the plurality of finials 34 comprises finials 34 that have a variety of shapes. The plurality of finials 34 comprises a football shaped finial 40, as shown in
Each of a plurality of crossbars 48 is coupled to and extends bidirectionally from the post 24, as shown in
Each crossbar 48 comprises a pair of segments 52, as shown in
Each segment 52 has a proximate section 56, a medial section 58, and a distal section 60, as shown in
The assembly 10 comprises a plurality of fasteners 62 and a plurality of caps 64, as shown in
The assembly 10 comprises a plurality of rings 74, as shown in
A set of rules would be in place for scoring points in a game based on successfully tossing one or more of the rings 74 onto the crossbars 48. Variations include a different level of points scored for tossing a ring 74 onto a selected crossbar 48, tossing rings 74 onto a respective crossbar 48 in succession, and tossing rings 74 onto selected crossbars 48 in succession.
A crossbeam 78 is coupled to and extends bidirectionally from the post 24 proximate to the top 38, as shown in
The assembly 10 comprises a plurality of ropes 88, as shown in
In use, the post 24 is assembled from the plurality of tubes 26 and attached to the base 12. The crossbars 48 are assembled by attaching the segments 52 to the couplers 30. If desired, caps 64 are coupled to the fasteners 62 to increase the difficulty of the game. Each of up to four players or four teams of players select of set of loops 76 and position themselves at the outer limit 90 of a respective rope 88 for tossing the rings 74 onto the crossbars 48.
With respect to the above description then, it is to be realized that the optimum dimensional relationships for the parts of an embodiment enabled by the disclosure, to include variations in size, materials, shape, form, function and manner of operation, assembly and use, are deemed readily apparent and obvious to one skilled in the art, and all equivalent relationships to those illustrated in the drawings and described in the specification are intended to be encompassed by an embodiment of the disclosure.
Therefore, the foregoing is considered as illustrative only of the principles of the disclosure. Further, since numerous modifications and changes will readily occur to those skilled in the art, it is not desired to limit the disclosure to the exact construction and operation shown and described, and accordingly, all suitable modifications and equivalents may be resorted to, falling within the scope of the disclosure. In this patent document, the word “comprising” is used in its non-limiting sense to mean that items following the word are included, but items not specifically mentioned are not excluded. A reference to an element by the indefinite article “a” does not exclude the possibility that more than one of the element is present, unless the context clearly requires that there be only one of the elements.
