Abstract
A ring and hook system and apparatus includes a toss member tethered by a tether member to a collapsible armature, supported by an inverted u-shaped cantilever receiver angled at approximately 90°, which is attached to a vertical armature. A hanger on the top may be used to secure the armatures on a door and a hook which protrudes horizontally from the bottom of the vertical armature to receive the tethered toss member.
Claims20
An articulated ring toss apparatus, comprising:
- a portable hanger member with a receiver having an inverted U-cross sectional shape configured to releasably engage a front surface, and an opposing rear surface of at least one planar barrier within the inverted U-cross sectional shape;
- the hanger member having an inverted U-cross sectional shaped flange disposed opposing the receiver;
- a cantilever armature being pivotally and linearly slidably mounted within and to the flange of the hanger member, the cantilever armature having an inverted channel cross sectional shape along a length being defined by a proximal end at the flange extending to a distal free end of the cantilever armature;
- a vertical armature being affixed to the hanger member and extending away from the hanger member;
- a toss member configured to be tethered to the cantilever member;
- and
- a catch-member configured to receive the toss member therein and the catch-member being disposed at an end portion of the vertical armature;
- wherein the cantilever armature includes an elongated cavity along the length;
- wherein the cantilever armature is configured to slide within the flange in a rectilinear direction towards the receiver to form a locked state first position, and the cantilever armature is configured slide within the flange away from the receiver to an unlocked state so as to rotate from the locked state first position extending away from the hanger member to a second position to matingly receive the vertical armature within the elongated cavity from the proximal end to the distal free end of the cantilever armature while retaining the catch-member exposed at the end portion of the vertical armature.
