Abstract
A tethered ring game is disclosed wherein a scoring hook is formed of wire rod and has near its mounting portion a break of minimum radius which defines an obtuse angle with the mounting portion and has at a defined distance from the free end of the wire a sweep of circular arc such that a hook is formed at the free end portion, said arc being less than 180.degree.. The hook may be mounted statically to an upright or motively to a counterclockwise rotable arm.
Claims10
A tethered ring game with a ring, a hook and a tether in combination comprising:
- a. A ring assembly with a cube shaped pendulum base member with an overhead affixing means on its face adjacent to the overhead and which has disposed on its face opposite the adjacent face a tether connecting means connected to which is tied at a free end thereof a flexible tether of a defined length whose other end is tied to a ring, said length being such that the tether is tautly held from the pendulum base to
- b. a hook portion of a hook member in a hook assembly which is mounted to an upright by affixing means a defined elevation from a floor and in which the hook assembly consists of a rectangularly shaped plate which forms a hook block which has the upright affixing means on its face adjacent to the upright and has installed centrally on its face opposite the adjacent face a mounting portion of the hook member which mounting portion has therein contained a break of a minimum radius whereby an obtuse angle is formed with the mounting portion and having at a defined distance from a free end of the hook member a sweep of circular arc which is less than 180.degree..
