Abstract: A portable flying disc game includes a foldable base that can be pivotally attached to a first end of a vertical pole. A first basket member is removably coupled to the vertical pole above the foldable base, and includes a first part and a second part that are detachable from one another. The first part has a first coupling member that receives the vertical pole and a support flange for receiving and supporting the second part to form the assembled first basket member. A second basket member is also removably coupled to the vertical pole, and includes a frame having a first part and a second part to which ends of cords are coupled to so that the cords hang from the frame. A weighted member is coupled to the cords which serve to support and suspend the weighted member above the first basket.

Abstract: A ball toss game that is configured to be mounted to a game table includes a frame having a pair of vertical posts (vertical support members) arranged parallel to one another and at least three cross members extending between and coupled at their ends to the pair of vertical support member. The ball toss game also includes a pair of coupling members for mounting to two opposing vertical side surfaces of the game table. The coupling member has a receiving portion that receives a lower end of a respective vertical support member and a fastening means for releasably mounting the lower end to the coupling member such that the frame stands upright. The ball toss game includes a pair of objects attached to two ends of a cord to form a connected member that is tossed at the frame in order to score points if and depending upon where the connected member is temporarily secured to one cross member.

Abstract: In one embodiment, a portable flying disc game includes a foldable base that is positionable between an open position and a closed position; a vertical pole, the foldable base being pivotally attached to a first end of the vertical pole; and a first basket member that is removably coupled to the vertical pole above the foldable base. The first basket member includes a first part and a second part that are detachable from one another. The first part has a first coupling member that receives the vertical pole and permits the first basket member to slide vertically along the pole to a location where the first basket member is coupled thereto. The first coupling member includes a support flange for receiving and supporting the second part to form the assembled first basket member. The game also includes a second basket member that is removably coupled to the vertical pole. The second basket member includes a frame having a first part and a second part that are detachable from one another.

Abstract: A strike zone target is provided for a training device for pitchers that includes a frame and an elastic net disposed across the frame for absorbing energy of a ball thrown by a player and redirecting the ball back to the player. The strike zone target includes a fabric body having four corners and a fastening element disposed at each of the four corners. The fastening elements permit the strike zone target to be detachably secured to the net while permitting easy repositioning of the strike zone anywhere along the net.

Abstract: The present invention provides a simulated baseball game apparatus. The game is played generally in accordance with the rules of actual baseball. The apparatus resembles a baseball field and is designed to be played by at least two players. An offensive player attempts to the hit the ball using a batting mechanism, while a defensive player pitches and fields the ball using pitching and fielding mechanisms, respectively.

Abstract: A board game is provided and includes a game board having a planar playing surface and a pair of goals, one goal at each of the two opposite ends of the game board. The board game also has a pair of centrally facing ramps, one ramp at each of the two opposite ends of the game board. A target ball for positioning on the planar playing surface is provided and a plurality of projectile balls for rolling down the ramp surfaces and onto the planar playing surface are also provided. The board game also has a ball retrieval structure that includes a plurality of openings spaced along the game board that are sized to permit only the projectile balls to pass through. The ball retrieval structure is in communication with the goals such that when the target ball passes through one of the goals it falls into the ball retrieval structure.

Abstract: A board game is provided and includes a game board having a planar playing surface having a width and two opposite ends and a pair of goals, one goal at each of the two opposite ends of the game board. The board game also has a pair of centrally facing ramps, one ramp at each of the two opposite ends of the game board, with each ramp having a surface transverse to the planar playing surface and a lower edge of each ramp surface positioned near an edge of the planar playing surface. A target ball for positioning on the planar playing surface is provided and has a diameter that permits it to pass through the goals and a plurality of projectile balls for rolling down the ramp surfaces and onto the planar playing surface are also provided. The board game also has a ball retrieval structure that includes a plurality of openings spaced along the game board that are sized to permit only the projectile balls to pass through.

Abstract: A collapsible marker cone for use with sporting events, such as in-line skating, comprising a base and a conical portion. The conical portion is attached to the base along a vertical axis and includes weakened regions such as vertically disposed slots which allow the conical portion to easily collapse, along the vertical axis, when a predetermined force, such as the weight of a falling person, is applied to the marker cone along the vertical axis. The weakened regions allow the conical portion to collapse prior to injuring the falling person.

Abstract: A preformed bridge element has concave curved sides to embrace the inner aspects of a metal racquet frame, and has a locating pin extending laterally from each side to engage openings in the frame sides, the stringing eyes extending upwardly from the top of the bridge bar being defined by a sinuous element, the ends of which are secured to the locating pin.
