Abstract

A water game is provided including a stand having at least one leg with a rotation bar coupled thereto. Further provided is a water assembly including a water basin coupled along the rotation bar of the stand. The water assembly also includes a circular target coupled to the rotation bar of the stand opposite the water basin. As such, the water basin has an upright orientation situated on top of the interconnection bar of the stand and an inverted orientation situated below the interconnection bar of the stand.

Claims4

Dependent claims

A new and improved water game comprising, in combination:

a stand including a pair of inverted V-shaped legs each in a spaced parallel configuration with a horizonal interconnection bar formed therebetween, the interconnection bar including a pair of hollow end extents fixedly coupled to an apex of an associated one of the legs and a hollow central extent rotatably coupled in linear alignment with the extend extents;
a water assembly including a water basin having a rectangular bottom face coupled along the length of the central extent of the interconnection bar of the stand, a pair of inverted trapezoidal side faces, a forwardly extending front face, and a rearwardly extending rear face, the water assembly further including a circular target coupled at an end of a post which is in turn coupled to the central extent of the interconnection bar of the stand opposite the water basin, whereby the water basin has an upright orientation situated on top of the interconnection bar of the stand and an inverted orientation situated below the interconnection bar of the stand;
a rigid hose having a lower portion attached to one of the inverted V-shaped legs with a free end having a screwable coupling for connecting to a conventional garden hose and an upper portion having an inverted U-shaped configuration with a free end situated over the water basin when in the upright orientation thereof for filling the basin with water;
and
balance means for maintaining the water basin in the upright orientation thereof when filled with water and further adapted to allow the transfer of the water basin to the inverted orientation thereof upon a force of a predetermined magnitude being applied to the target, the balance means including a post coupled to the central extent of the interconnection bar of the stand and an L-shaped rod with a horizonal portion integrally coupled to the post and a vertical portion adapted to frictionally engage an interior surface of one of the end extents of the interconnection bar of the stand, whereby said end extent of the interconnection bar has a detent formed in the interior surface thereof which is oriented such that the vertical extent of the L-shaped arm resides therein when the water basin is in the upright orientation.
