Abstract:
A toy apparatus includes a base piece and a plurality of elongated members. The base piece is configured to slide on a surface. Each elongated member has a first end and a second end, with the elongated members being movably coupled to the base piece near the first ends. A tether is coupled to the first ends of the elongated members, and tension applied to the tether moves the elongated members from a first position to a second position. In the first position, the second ends of the elongated members are expanded apart from each other. In the second position, the second ends of the elongated members are contracted toward each other and are capable of surrounding a target piece.
Abstract:
An apparatus for playing a game and particularly a table-top game which represents soccer. The apparatus includes a figure for playing a game comprising a model player fitted to a hollow base (5) wherein the base has at least one opening (2, 3, 4) in communication with the cavity and the player has at least one opening (1) in communication with the cavity, and wherein a ball can enter the cavity through the opening on the base or the opening on the player.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to a hand-held game device comprising a handle for holding the device, an elongated figurine having a longitudinal axis, wherein the figurine is rotatably connected to said handle around an axis of rotation which is at least substantially perpendicular to the longitudinal axis. The present invention thus provides a portable game device providing an entertainment similar to table football.

Abstract:
A game for table-type play is disclosed that may incorporate and bring together the skills, predictive challenges, planning, accuracy, requirements of measured force over distance, challenges in the form of traps, hazards, and other topographical complexities, and low friction play, loosely drawn from games such as golf, hockey, and billiards. Game-playing area surface features may comprise selected ones of holes, tees, islands, topographical features, peripheral borders, scribe lines, numbering, and the like. A puck-like element for each player may be supported upon the game-playing surface for interaction with the game playing surface in accordance with pre-established rules of play.
Abstract:
A flying disc toy of a size to be held between a user's bent finger and thumb. Said flying disc toy to be projected through the air when the user rapidly extends the bent finger. The flying disc toy generally has a hollow cavity on the underside between a top wall joined at a joining edge to a descending wall. The flying disc toy may be combined with various accessories such as gloves, targets, and bats to play one or more games.

Abstract:
A game has a portable playing surface (e.g. a mat or a board). The playing surface is marked with or otherwise divided into a series of zones. A strike wheel is provided having a support portion (e.g. an arm) supporting a ball such that the ball can be struck by a club to move the ball in a rotational fashion, and a marker for moving across the playing surface. The “ball” referred to above may not be an actual ball. In some cases it may be a representation of a ball, for example a circular disk attached to the support portion, etc. The game allows for the marker to move from one zone to another zone in a forward direction, in a forward but to the left direction (i.e. a left diagonal), or in a forward but to the right direction (i.e. a right diagonal).
