  • Patent number: 5924908
    Abstract: A child and cat toy consisting of an enclosure having a least one opening defined by a rim edge projecting toward the interior of the enclosure. The enclosure contains at least one ball with a diameter small enough to pass freely through the opening. In operation the user attempts to remove the ball from the enclosure. The ball is restrained from rolling out through the opening by the curvature or step of the rim edge. The removal of the ball can be further hampered by interference from an additional ball, and by various geometric characteristics of the enclosure. Various embodiments of the present invention utilizing different enclosure geometries, number of openings, and number of balls are disclosed having utility for specifically entertaining various aged children and cats.
