Abstract
A game structure for guiding, receiving, and retaining in various scoring regions a game playing object. The framework is adapted to be mounted on a game playing surface, such as a household carpet. The game playing object may be a golf ball, stroked with a golf putter toward the framework structure to achieve scoring by proper placement in the scoring regions. Three substantially co-planar open-sided frames, one inside another, are connected to define scoring regions. The frames are made of bar stock and are rigid, easily disassembled for compact storage, are play stable, adjustable to vary the game skill required, and separable for game versatility. A ramp is provided over which the game playing object is propelled, the ramp height being adjustable by a frictional device.
Claims6
A game playing framework adapted for placement on a playing surface and having an open side receiving a ball comprising,
- a first open-sided frame having a pair of sides connected to and transversely spaced by a cross end member and being adapted to rest on a playing surface and having a plurality of depending support members to support and space said frame a predetermined distance from the playing surface,
- a second open-sided frame being placed interiorly of said first open-sided frame and having a pair of equal length parallel legs, said legs being connected intermediately of their length and transversely spaced by a cross arm,
- one end of each of said legs having a hook formed thereon with the open side of each of the hooks straddling and frictionally engaging said cross end member to provide for vertical adjustment of said second frame with respect to said cross end member,
- the other ends of said legs having supporting members depending therefrom to support said legs a predetermined distance from the playing surface,
- a third open-sided frame disposed interiorly of said second frame and having a first pair of transversely spaced segments substantially parallel to said legs and defining an open side, a second pair of segments connected respectively to said first pair of segments and converging therefrom, a third pair of inclined segments connected respectively to said second pair of segments and converging at an angle smaller than said first angle and being transversely spaced a predetermined distance to form a ramp for game balls, a ring section being connected to said third pair of segments to form a cup-shaped retainer for golf balls propelled through the areas defined by said first and second pair of segments and over the ramp formed by said third pair of segments.
