Flying saucer bowling game

A set of game items for playing a simulated bowling game in which a flying saucer is scaled at a target of a plurality of pins with the object being to knock down the pins, which comprises a flying saucer, which is an aerodynamically curved flying toy of inverted saucer-like shape, a support for a plurality of pins, which support is closable to elongated flat strip form to facilitate carrying and storage, is openable to use position, includes flat supporting surfaces thereon, and is of two flat strip parts, held together in pivoting relationship at riveting means centrally positioned with respect to each of the flat strips, and a plurality of pins which include enlarged flat base portions with complementary flat lower mounting surfaces thereon conforming with the supporting surfaces of the supporting member, for placement against such supporting surfaces to hold the pins in upright position until knocked down by contact with a flying saucer scaled at them by a player of the game, with magnetic means being present at the pin bases and/or at the supports where the bases are mounted on them, to hold the pins in desired position before scaling of the flying saucer at them and to hold them with greater force than that due only to gravity, to prevent knocking down of the pins by only very slight contact with the flying saucer or with other pins moved by contact with the saucer or with other such moving pins.

A set of game items for playing a simulated bowling game in which a flying saucer is scaled at a target of a plurality of pins with the object being to knock down the pins and to score strikes, spares and count, as in the game of bowling, when such pins are knocked down, which comprises a flying saucer, which is an aerodynamically curved flying toy of inverted saucer-like shape, a support for a plurality of pins, which support is closable to elongated flat strip form to facilitate carrying and storage, is pivotally openable to cruciform use position, includes flat supporting surfaces thereon and is of two flat strip parts, held together at pivoting means centrally positioned with respect to each of the flat strips, and a plurality of pins which include enlarged flat base portions with complementary flat lower mounting surfaces thereon conforming with the supporting surfaces of the supporting member, for placement against such supporting surfaces to hold the pins in upright position until knocked down by contact with a flying saucer scaled at them by a player of the game, with magnetic means being present at the pin bases and/or at the supports where the bases are mounted on them, to hold the pins in desired position before scaling of the flying saucer at them and to hold them with greater force than that due only to gravity, to prevent knocking down of the pins by only very slight contact with the flying saucer or other pins moved by contact with the saucer or with other such moving pins.
