Abstract
A target projectile tossing game including a frame, a horizontal support connected to the frame, and a target coupled to the horizontal support. The target may be sized to receive the projectile therein and may further be configured to rotate relative to the frame based on force from the tossed projectile.
Claims19
A target structure, comprising:
- a support frame, including:
- a base;
- at least one vertical support attached to the base;
- and
- a horizontal support coupled to the at least one vertical support;
- and
- a first target rotatably coupled to the frame;
- and
- a second target rotatably coupled to the frame;
- wherein the first target and second target are configured to be rotatable about a longitudinal axis of the horizontal support;
- wherein the first target and second target are configured to receive a tossed projectile;
- and
- wherein the first target is attached to the second target such that when the first target rotates the second target rotates.

A target game, comprising:
- a plurality of projectiles;
- and
- a support assembly, comprising:
- a main frame;
- a first horizontal member connected to the main frame at a first height;
- a second horizontal member connected to the main frame at a second height;
- a first target rotatably connected to the first horizontal member;
- and
- a second target connected to the second horizontal member;
- wherein the first target and second target are configured to receive at least one of the plurality of projectiles;
- wherein the first target is configured to rotate upon one of the plurality of projectiles hitting the first target;
- wherein the first height is above the second height;
- and
- wherein the first target is located above the second target such that when the first target has received a first one of the plurality of projectiles and a second one of the plurality of projectiles hits the first target such that the first target rotates, the first one of the plurality of projectiles will fall out of the first target and be received in the second target.
11 more elements
A method of playing a game, comprising:
- positioning a support frame having a first target positioned at a first height and second target positioned at a second height, wherein the second height is different from the first height;
- tossing a plurality of projectiles toward the support frame;
- landing one of the plurality projectiles within the first target;
- hitting the first target with a second one of the plurality of projectiles such that the first target rotates with respect to the support frame;
- and
- awarding a score based on a number of the plurality of projectiles being landed within the first target and second target;
- wherein when the step of hitting the first target occurs after the step of landing the at least one of the plurality of projectiles within the first target, the rotation of the first target is sufficient to cause the at least one of the plurality of projectiles in the first target to be removed from the first target.
