Abstract
Game apparatus comprising a ring with a flight stabilization member attached to the ring, with the axis of the flight stabilization member being generally parallel to the plane of the attached ring during flight. A launching device is used to launch the ring from a first player to a second player, and the characteristics of the ring and attached flight stabilization member cause the ring and attached flight stabilization member to rotate in flight, such that the ring can be caught by an opposing player and relaunched to the first player, or launched toward a target, providing greatly enhanced play value over prior art toys.
Claims15
Game apparatus comprising:
- a ring having an elongated tubular flight stabilization member attached thereto, said elongated tubular flight stabilization member having a first diameter substantially equal to said ring diameter at a first end attached to said ring and a second diameter, substantially equal to or smaller than said first diameter at a second end not affixed to said ring, said elongated tubular flight stabilization member being comprised of a flexible material;
- and
- at least one launching device being inserted into said ring for launching said ring and the attached elongated tubular flight stabilization member.
Game apparatus comprising:
- a ring having an elongated tubular flight stabilization member attached thereto, said elongated tubular flight stabilization member having a first diameter substantially equal to said ring diameter at a first end attached to said ring and a second diameter, substantially equal to or smaller than said first diameter at a second end not affixed to said ring, said elongated tubular flight stabilization member for maintaining said ring generally perpendicular to its direction in flight when launched by a first player;
- and
- at least one launching device, said launching device including a pair of longitudinally extending members joined together at a first end of each of the extending members, said joined first end being inserted into said ring for launching.
Game apparatus comprising:
- a ring having an elongated tubular flight stabilization member attached thereto, said elongated tubular flight stabilization member having a first circumferential area substantially equal to said ring circumferential distance at a first end attached to said ring and a second circumferential distance, substantially equal to or smaller than said first circumferential distance at a second end not affixed to said ring, said elongated tubular flight stabilization member being comprised of a flexible material;
- and
- at least one launching device being inserted into said ring for launching said ring and the attached elongated tubular flight stabilization member.
