Abstract: A combination pipe and game is disclosed. The pipe includes a base on which is mounted a transparent tube which may be in an aesthetically pleasing coiled shape. A mouth piece is attached to the ends of the tube. A pipe bowl is positioned along the tube and is in communication with the interior of the tube. A lightweight ball can move about within the tube. The object of the game is for the smoker to draw smoke through the tube advancing the ball to a predetermined position within the tube. In another embodiment, the device is adapted for use by two or more smokers by expedient of inserting a fitting having an appropriate number of outlets, smoking tubes being connectable to each of the outlets.
Abstract: A marble shooting game having a playing apparatus which includes a playing surface which is divided into two longitudinal segments with one segment having a foul line and a marble holder and projector at the other end of the segment and with the other segment portion being identically arranged except for the marble holder and projector being adjacent the foul line of the first segment and the foul line of the second segment being adjacent the marble holder and projector of the first segment so that a player shooting at a target associated with the marble holder and projector at the opposite end of one segment will release a marble placed on said holder by an opposing player.
Abstract: A conventional motorcycle modified by a center lever steering control that is slidable in longitudinal extension and rotatable about the axis of slide at the extremities of slide but not therebetween, and is pivotable vertically around a pivotal connection to a center steering unit in place of conventional handlebars. Handlebar controls are attached for foot control. Resilient knee rolls are fixed to a gas tank above the knees of a rider to prevent slipping from motorcycle when rising from seating position to strike a ball. An upwardly extending hand loop fixed above a gas tank and knee rolls ensures that leaning outwardly does not change direction of travel by inadvertent movement of the steering control. Wider tires than in road riding and disc wheels are respectively recommended for improved traction and the abolition of chance of catching a mallet in a spoked wheel.
Abstract: The present invention relates to a game and gameboard apparatus wherein the game is played by directing a marble or similar projectile across a gameboard in a generally straight line path and wherein one or more players stationed along the gameboard attempt to strike and intercept the marble (target projectile) as the same moves across the playing board. To provide for the opportunity of interception, the gameboard of the preferred embodiment comprises a series of longitudinally spaced shooting or intercepting stations with a respective player stationed at each station. In a typical type of game, the respective players stationed along the gameboard attempt to intercept a passing target projectile as the same moves along a normal straight line course across the board.
Abstract: An elongated member has a plurality of like partitions extending downwardly from it. These partitions are paced at regular intervals, and form channels through which any one of the plurality of like balls can be rolled. A fence retains any balls that are rolled through the channels. A shelf for storing the balls is included.
Abstract: The game includes a replica of a race course which is divided into a sequence of stations and the players take turns to advance distinctively colored markers or playing pieces along the race course. To determine the number of stations through which a player in his turn advances his marker, the player manually imparts impetus to a metal ball which causes the ball to traverse a straight track that has resilient bumpers at its two opposite ends. The ball recoils from at least one of the bumpers and comes to rest at one of a plurality of sections of the track which indicate the number of stations the player is to advance his marker on the course.
