Abstract: A table top basketball game which has a plurality of player figures that can be manipulated by opposing players and which can project a ball into a hoop. The player figures are attached to rods that extend across a floor. The rods have handles which allow the players to spin and laterally move the figures. The rods and player figures are separated and arranged so that the ball can be "passed" from one player figure to another player figure, while the player figures of the opposing player are manipulated to "steal" the pass. The rods can also be rotated to spin the player figures and project the ball into a hoop. The floor has a plurality of recess areas that cause the ball to roll to the player figures and increase the action of the game. The game may have a pair of "center" player figures that are moved in a vertical direction to impede the projection of the ball into the hoop.

Abstract: An action game whereby the players throw a ball at a plurality of disks so that one of the disks becomes attached to the ball. The ball and disks are covered with hook and loop material, wherein the disks will become attached to the ball when the ball comes into contact with a disk. A variety of games can be played with the game set of the present invention. For example, the disks can all be placed in an area of a playing surface. Each player throws the ball at the disks, trying to get a disk to stick to the ball. The ball is bounced off of the playing surface and caught by the opposing player. If a disk sticks to the ball, the opposing player must keep the disk. When all of the disks have been removed from the playing surface, the player with the least amount of disks wins the game.

Abstract: A ground level water toy that can be connected to a garden hose and releases water when a player pushes down one preselected control member from a number of control members extending from the toy. The toy has a housing with an inlet that can be coupled to the garden hose, an outlet that can splash the players with water, and an inner fluid passage that provides fluid communication between the inlet and the outlet. The flow of water is controlled by a valve within the housing. The toy has a trigger which is coupled to the valve by a shaft assembly. The trigger normally maintains the shaft assembly in a down position, so that the valve is closed. When the trigger is activated, the shaft moves to an up position, which opens the valve and allows water to flow from the housing outlet.The toy has a plurality of control members that extend from the housing and are adapted to be moved between a first position and a second position.
