  • Patent number: 4262909
    Abstract: A game apparatus having a projectile or thrown element and one or more receiver elements. The projectile element comprises a soft, preferably weighted nose portion received within the open end of a projectile body which is formed from a thin plastic material and which is of frustoconical shape. The body is hollow and open at the larger end thereof. The receiving element has means for accommodating the nose portion of the projectile, preferably, an open end, and is comprised of a frustoconical hollow body with an enlarged open end and having a size and taper generally corresponding to that of the projectile portion. In use, the projectile is thrown by one of the players and the other player or players attempt to catch it in the cone shaped receiver by directing the open end of the receiver towards the incoming projectile. The sufficient taper provides safety and the cone configuration affords stable flight to the projectile and presents a reception opening which is specially adapted to catch the projectile.
