Apparatus for a ball tossing game

Abstract

A new and improved apparatus for an object tossing game includes an object for tossing and a target assembly which includes a number of cylindrical cans and a base unit for supporting the cans. The tossed object can be a soft, lightweight, resilient ball. The base unit includes a floor and a semi-circular back board. Two cans are located relatively close to the back board and are assigned lower point values than one can that is located relatively far from the back board. A flexible, roll-up support surface is provided for supporting the target assembly. The support surface can include indicia which indicate a number of predetermined positions at which the target assembly can be placed, or at which a player can stand, on the support surface. The predetermined positions on the support surface are representative of different levels of difficulty for a player to successfully target a can in the target assembly. The support surface can be rolled up into a housing which includes a coiled spring which supplies the energy for rolling up the support surface. In an alternative embodiment, two target assemblies and two flexible, roll-up support surfaces are provided. Two coiled springs are provided in a housing for rolling up the two respective roll-up surfaces after the respective target assemblies have been removed from the surfaces.
