Dart board game cabinet

A cabinet for supporting a game target comprising a lower housing;

• an upper housing;
• mean coupling said upper and lower housings together for swinging movements of said upper housing about a substantially horizontal axis from a first position atop said lower housing to a second position alongside and parallel to said lower housing;
• a game target;
• and means mounting said target on said upper housing, said target comprising a backing member, a frame secured to said backing member and defining a plurality of spaces, a plurality of independent segments corresponding to the plurality of said spaces and accommodated in said spaces for reciprocating movements therein, resilient biasing means for urging said segments in a direction outwardly of said spaces, retaining means reacting between said frame and said segments for limiting movement thereof in said direction, and means reacting between said backing member and said frame for maintaining said segments in such positions that said biasing means constantly exerts a force on said segments to bias them in said direction.

Supporting apparatus for a dart game target comprising an upright backing member;

• a target having divider means defining a plurality of separate spaces and a corresponding plurality of independent target segments movably accommodated in said spaces;
• target mounting means overlying said backing member and having an opening therein;
• means securing said divider means to said mounting means with said segments overlying said opening;
• retaining means reacting between said divider means and said segments for limiting movement of said segments in a direction away from said backing member;
• means for latching said mounting means in an upright position with said segments accessible to a thrown dart;
• and hinge means connecting said mounting means at its lower end for swinging movements about a substantially horizontal axis in a direction away from said backing member to provide access to said segments.

Supporting apparatus for a dart game comprising upper and lower housings;

• means pivotally coupling said housings to one another and enabling said upper housing to rock about a horizontal axis from a first position atop said lower housing to a second position parallel to and alongside said lower housing;
• means for separably locking said housings in said first position;
• a target supporting frame having an opening therein;
• a spider carried by said frame and having a plurality of spaces therein in register with said opening;
• a plurality of movable target segments in said spaces;
• means reacting between said spider and said segments for limiting movement of said segments in one direction relative to said spider;
• means mounting said frame for swinging movements about a substantially horizontal axis from a first substantially upright position to a second position inclined to a vertical plane;
• and biasing means exerting a force on said segments when said frame is in said first position to bias said segments in said one direction, said axis being adjacent the lower edge of said frame.
