  • Patent number: 5873573
    Abstract: A ring-toss type game having a target made up of a generally tubular wall on a base with an upstanding central post, the target made from a hard heavy material such as steel that will produce a bell-like sound when struck by ring formed from a hard material such as steel. The target wall and base may be a single unitary cup shaped member or may consist of a wall fastened to the base. An elastic band, such as a Bungee cord, may be wrapped around the wall to reduce impact sound intensity. A cord and bracket assembly may be secured to the target to be stretched away from the target and secured to the ground to provide a clear line behind which rings will be pitched or tossed at the target. Typically, tossing a ring over the post will earn the highest number of points, a lesser number will be earned by tossing a ring into the target between the post and inner wall and the least number of points for striking the target exterior.
