  • Publication number: 20140290439
    Abstract: The Canopy Tent Pole Mounted Bottle Opener (“Opener”) is a device that will be used for opening bottles and cans in conjunction with a canopy tent leg. While neither the canopy tent nor the canopy tent leg is a part of this patent application, the Opener is designed to be compatible and used in conjunction with several different types and brands of canopy tent legs that are already in the market. Using a simple, but effective design, the Opener can be attached to any of the canopy tent's collapsible legs and allow the user to pry open a bottle or can of his/her beverage of choice. The angle in which the Opener has been designed is unique and the only angle in which the proper amount of downward force may feasibly be applied to pry open a bottle without spilling the contents. Moreover, the protruding portion of the Opener can serve as a hook that may be used to hold a garbage bag to catch and collect discarded bottle caps.

  • Patent number: 8127689
    Abstract: The system is composed of two separate assemblies, each including a surface cover cap which can be removed to create an aperture dimensioned to allow a projectile to pass entirely through it. The assemblies are capable of being separated and inclined at a 45° angle to be used to play the popular multiplayer game, beanbag toss. Additionally, the underside of each assembly is equipped with collapsible legs, which allow each assembly to become an independent freestanding table. When configured as freestanding tables, the assemblies may be arranged together in one of three ways: connected perpendicularly to form an L-shaped table, placed side-by-side to form a square table, or connected end-to-end to create a long table that can also be used to play the popular recreational game referred to commonly as beer pong.

  • Publication number: 20100058958
    Abstract: The Play-ble Recreational System is composed of two separate assemblies, each of which includes a through-aperture, dimensioned to allow a beanbag to pass entirely through it, which can be sealed by a detachable cover cap. The invention will be constructed so that the assemblies can serve multiple functions. When the assemblies are separate and distinct, they will primarily be used to play the popular multiplayer game, commonly referred to as cornhole or beanbag toss. However, in addition to this, the underside of each assembly is equipped with collapsible table and game legs, which allows each assembly to become an independent freestanding table. The assemblies also include mechanisms on their front and/or side surfaces that allow the assemblies to be connected together in one of two ways: either perpendicularly to form an L-shaped buffet/serving table, or end-to-end to create a long dinning/serving table that can also be used to play the popular recreational game referred to commonly as beer pong.
