Abstract: A sports game with zig-zag ball, intended for fun and recreation. The required playing surface for this game is a flat surface about 1.5 m wide and about 20 m long, on which central line 10 and at least one pin 2 or gate 7 is placed between two fields 9. This pin 2 is crossed around when the ball 3 crosses the central line 10 behind that pin and in front of the next pin 2', and the winner of the game is the player who has the largest number of crossed pins 2 from a certain number of trials. A zig-zag ball useful as a toy or in sports is disclosed. The ball moves in a zig-zag manner when rolled out on a flat horizontal surface. The zig-zag movement is achieved by a mechanism placed inside the ball which alters the center of gravity of the ball as it rolls.

Abstract: A game that uses a gameboard which has a flat, smooth playing surface over which flat discs are slidable. A bumper rail borders the playing surface and causes discs to carom or ricochet back onto the playing surface. A plurality of pockets are disposed in the playing surface adjacent the bumper rail. The pockets are recessed into the playing surface, so that a disc will fall, by gravity, into the pockets. The pockets are made escape-proof by undercutting the bumper rail adjacent the pockets to extend the pockets under a part of the bumper rail. Thus, a part of the bumper rail overhangs each of the pockets and acts to prevent a disc from hitting the bumper rail and rebounding back over the pockets. The underside of the overhanging portions of the bumper rail, or the backsides thereof which the discs strike, may be sloped to deflect the discs downwardly into the pockets. The playing surface can be made to slightly overhang each of the pockets to help prevent the escapement of discs from the pockets.
