  • Patent number: 10300368
    Abstract: A tossing game having a tree structure with branches that extend from a tubular post and which is vertically supported by a stand such that the tree structure can rotate. Each branch has a wire-way and an external target. A light is located on the tree structure. A control module having a counter with a preset counter number and a motor and gear assembly is attached to the tree structure. The control panel is in electrical communication with each target and with the light. The counter counts the number of times a game piece strikes a target. When the counter reaches the pre-determined number the control module lights the light. The motor and gear assembly rotate the tree structure on the stand.

  • Publication number: 20130168925
    Abstract: A method and system for challenging and developing eye-hand neuromuscular coordination are provided. In one version, one or more magnetically charged game pieces and a target structure are provided. The target structure may be preferably alternatively inclined and present a magnetically attractive target surface. Positionable legs of the target structure may be detachably and/or slidably coupled with the target surface, whereby the legs are deployed and disposed between the target surface and a ground surface. Optionally, one or more legs may be decoupled from the deployed position and stored in a second storage position, while detachably coupled to a front plate of the target structure in either position. A game piece aperture enables the game piece to be more easily tossed toward and adhere to a magnetically attractive surface. The apertures further allow the game pieces to overlay each other when adhered to the target surface.

  • Patent number: 7631876
    Abstract: A dart projectile game and its associated method of play. A launcher is provided that has a base and a lever suspended above the base by a fulcrum connection. The lever has a first end and an opposite second end that can teeter up and down. Magnetic material is coupled to the base below the first end of the lever. A projectile is provided that contains a magnet tip. Furthermore, a target is provided that has at least one magnetic section. The projectile is placed on the first end of the lever, wherein the magnet in the projectile attracts the magnetic material under the first end of the lever and biases the first end of the lever downwardly. A person presses down on the second end of the lever with enough force to overcome the magnetic attraction and accelerate the projectile into flight toward the target.

  • Patent number: 7624988
    Abstract: An electronic dart game includes a dart and a dartboard provided with a frame and a main body for being shot by the dart. The dart game can be scored automatically for being provided a plurality of inductance coils on the frame and connected to a electronic scoring means. A point or a slender shaft of the dart is magnetized so that an electronic signal can be generated while the dart is shot to go through the inductance coils in accordance with the Lenz's law. Therefore, the chances for erroneous signal to occur are very slim. As the main body is designed directly to the frame, the dartboard has a stable one-piece surface, thus a player will have a similar satisfactory sensation as shooting onto a classical one-piece dartboard.

  • Patent number: 7316399
    Abstract: A magnetic dart board that includes embedded conductor coils beneath scoring areas. When a dart with a magnetic head strikes a scoring area of the dart board a current is induced in the underlying conductor coil. The induced current provides an electrical signal that is transmitted to an automatic scoring system that calculates and displays scores. The dart board is made from a plurality of layers including a top layer, an insulating layer, a sensing layer and a body layer. The multi-layered dart board is flexible and can be rolled up for storage, shipping and transportation.
