  • Patent number: 4298199
    Abstract: Disclosed is a game in which a game piece is suspended on a string and is preferably formed as the simulation of a bee or other insect attractable to a flower. The game piece is dangled by the player in a playing area simulating the portion of the flower bounded by the perianth. The perianth includes a series of trap elements formed in the simulation of petals and pivotally mounted on the base for swinging movement between open positions in which they expose the playing area to permit the game piece to be suspended therein, and closed positions in which they trap the game piece. In the playing area a centrally disposed trigger member has a connection to the trap elements such that on upward movement of the trigger member, the trap elements will be biased instantly to the positions in which they trap the game piece.
