Abstract:
A ring tossing game wherein two or more players compete by tossing rings toward a target structure whereby points are accumulated. Each target structure is elongate and has a first upper surface portion upon which a player may stand while tossing rings toward an opposing structure, and a second upper surface portion defining a plurality of longitudinally aligned ring-receiving bores. A plurality of lightweight rings, sized for mating reception within the ring-receiving bores, is provided for tossing. A point system is disclosed wherein points are awarded to a player upon successfully tossing his or her ring(s) into the target structure bores, and points are deducted when a player exceeds a predetermined score and/or when certain tosses result in point reduction. Scoreboards are provided for all players to facilitate score keeping.
Abstract:
An annular protective ring attachment designed to grip the outer peripheral edge of all compact discs (CDs) and digital video discs (DVDs) which, when used in combination with said CD or DVD, creates an airfoil. The airfoil ring consists of an inner periphery, which is molded to form a top lip (3) and bottom lip (4), and between these lips, a gripping mouth (6), which securely holds the CD or DVD (7,76) inside the aperture of the airfoil ring. The body of the airfoil ring is curved in such a way as to create an airfoil adequate to enable the airfoil ring with inserted CD or DVD to be safely tossed into the air and to exhibit controllability in flight. The airfoil ring is constructed of a soft, flexible plastic material, and uses a hinge groove (5) on the top side of the airfoil skirt (1) and a hinge groove reaction area (9) on the underside of the airfoil skirt (1) to dissipate the contact force upon impact and create a cushioning effect so as to avoid resultant injury or damage when tossed into the air. A locking groove (8) inside the gripping mouth area (6) traps the sharp edge of the CD or DVD (7), preventing it from dislodging upon impact and causing injury.
Abstract:
A gaming apparatus and method for playing the same. An embodiment of the gaming apparatus may comprise a goal assembly and a weighted line. The weighted line is thrown by a player to contact the goal assembly. Points may be awarded when the weighted line contacts the goal assembly.
Abstract:
A throwing game including a target comprised of a horizontal base portion and a vertical mark portion. The vertical mark portion includes a pair of vertical posts extending upwardly from the horizontal base portion. The pair of vertical posts have a plurality of crossbars extending therebetween. A plurality of projectiles are adapted for being thrown at the crossbar of the vertical mark portion of the target.
Abstract:
A target system includes a plurality of targets mounted on a center support so that the targets rotate between opposing sides of the center support. Preferably, the targets rotate about an axis which is between 5 and 30 degrees less than vertical, and have faces which are disposed at an angle between 5 and 30 degrees less than vertical.
Abstract:
The present invention pertains to low temperature sputter target/backing plate (10, 15) joining techniques and assemblies made thereby. More specifically, the joining techniques incorporate a mechanical bond between the corresponding target material (10) and backing plate material (15) around the periphery thereof. The resulting target assemblies are free of welding and other high temperature joining.
Abstract:
A hockey goal having a hockey goal frame and a hockey net connected thereto. In one embodiment, the net is connected by a plurality of open-faced net connection loops positioned around the frame and in a further embodiment, the net is connected by use of a connection web connected to the net edge and extending around the goal frame and a pair of mating connection members.
Abstract:
A detachable net frame assembly has a ball stopping net, a plurality of support frames, a plurality of connection rods, and a pair of connection seats. The ball stopping net is connected to the support frames. A connection cable is disposed between the connection seats. The support frames are disposed between the connection seats. Each connection rod is connected to two of the support frames. Each support frame has a plurality of flexible tubes, a plurality of connection sleeves, and an elastic element inserted through the flexible tubes and the connection sleeves. Each connection seat receives a first pipe, a second pipe, and a third pipe. The first pipe receives the corresponding support frame. The second pipe receives the corresponding support frame. The third pipe receives the corresponding support frame.
Abstract:
An object of the invention is to provide an impact energy absorbing structure in the form of resin moldings such as interior components of automobiles and other impact energy absorbing structures, with better impact properties, particularly the performance in absorbing impact energy to passenger heads. The invention relates to an impact energy absorbing structure for absorbing the kinetic energy of a colliding object by means of its own deformation, wherein when a certain colliding object collides with the impact energy absorbing structure at a certain velocity, the relationship between dimensionless displacement D, where the deformation of the impact energy absorbing structure is normalized by the permissible deformation, and the dimensionless energy E, where the kinetic energy absorbed by the impact energy absorbing structure is normalized by the kinetic energy of the colliding object prior to collision, meets E>D.
