GAME AND .APP-ARACEUS FORZPLA'YL'E-NGI THE ISAME.
Application filed October 1, 1926. Serial No. 138;946.
My invention. relates to a game and apparatus for playing the same, my purpose being to provide a game which may be played either outdoors or indoors, which re- 5 quires, in addition to a. ball, only a: sln gle piece of; inexpensive apparatus-tor play ng the same, and which,.in addition to being amusing, is highly beneficialv in that it atfords excellentexercise andtraining; for the. players without risking, them to: injnry.
The single pieceofapparatus used in play ing-myygame =is known'as a goal and it consists essentially of standard carrying -a cross member at the upper-end thereof, connected with the standard by a pair of diagonal brace members which cooperate with the standard and the cross member to form a pair of'openings,.one to either side, of the standard, :used inplaying the game, my further purpose being .to prov de a knock-down goal of the type mentioned which is simple in construction,;cheap and easy to produce, which may be readlly and easily assembled and disassembled without the '-use of nails, screws -or similar fasteners, andwhiich isstrong durable atnd (unlikely to becomeloroken or disordered-during its use. V Withithe foregoing and. other :purposes; in view, my inventionuoonsists.-in%theteatures oat-novelty to be ihereinatter more.- Ltully described, illustrated :in the accompany ng drawings and; defined in tthe--appendedv claims.
In a. the; drawings, wherein like characters-- of: reference I denote corresponding parts; 111 the difierent views:
Fig; .1 l-iszaperspective of the ,goal USBClBlIl a g p a View similar. to Big. 1i showingthe, partsnof; .the goal-separated f-rom one anotherg-and a Eig, 3, 1a diagramrotthe -field used an play: ing; n1y;ga1ne,'jshowing thapositmn act" the goalwith respect to the field.
The.;goa1aillustratedin the drawingsus, .,-1n practice, "approximately seven feet h gh and it consists essentially cf.- an upright or standard '10 approximately. one inch [thick and. four incheswide, providedtat. its lower: end with a base to support it in upright pos tion, and. carrying at; its uppen end .a horizontally disposed cross member 12 connected at its-ends Withnliht, estandardby; a pair *of downw-ardly. and; inwardly. extending; diagonal' brace 4 members; 114, 14- cooperating with the standard and crossxmember 12 to provide .a pair of. openings 16, 16, one to either side of-the standardnthroughor into which .a resilient ball is adaptedlto .be tossed. or lodged in playing the game.
As shown in Fig. 2 of the drawings,the lower endlof the standard is biturcatedwto receive the intermediate portionnof .a, toot piece 18 which is adapted tosextend-equal distances to either side of the standar chflsaidn toot piece being provided with a ,pair of I openings 20, 20, and the two arms 22, .22 at the lower end of the stand rd, produced' loy. bitu-rcatingthe. latter, eac' being provided. with a pair of openings24, 24,- .adaptedto: be alined with the openings 2.0,.20of the foot piece. 18 when the foot piece .is arranged between the arms, 22, .22. whereby. apairpt. pins 26, 26 may "be passed :through said alined openings to secure said foot ,piece to .the. standard.
The pins 26 are of greaterlength than thewidth of the standard 10,,so as -to. pr.o-' ject :beyond each side of the latter and providemeanstor attaching additional foot. pieces:28., .28 tothe lower end .oztuthev standardfor cooperation with the foot piece 18,130.v support. the goal .against'tilting, .movementin allv directions, the inner end ofieach ofsaid 35 foot pieces 28, 28 being provided-with .openings- 30, 30 .to receive the projecting ends. of. the-pins .22. The foot pieces. 28-, ,28" ex-' tend at'right. angles to. the. foot piece 18 and are disposed, respectively, .upon opposite sides of the standard 10 .and foot ,piece 18.
The upper end of the standard. 10 is reduced to provide a .tenonfl32 :andthe. cross member .12 is centrally mortised as at .34 to receive said tenon, openings: 36, .38 being formed, respectively, in .the. standardiIO and. cross member 12, and .adapted' tor alinement. with one another, when .the tenon,32 i-s-disposed within the mortise 34, .to receive .apin 40 for locking the cross piece to the standard.
In. opposite edges'ot the cross piece 18,. near theends thereof, respectively, isformed apairwot diagonally extendingslots-.-.42, 42,- while in opposite side faces of the standard, a suitable-distance below the upper end there.- of, .is tormeda pair ofdepressions44. Each of .the brace-members-14is1cut toprovide a tongue 46 at itsupper endtorengagementwith one-of. the slots 42,- and a. tongue 48.,at its lowerend for engagement with one of .the depressions ;44, these braces seryingas aforev mentioned to secure the cross piece 12 rigidly,
boundary lines and connecting the side boundary lmes.
to the upper end of the standard and cooplatter to provide a pair of V-shaped pockets,
one to each side bf the standard, at the juncture of the brace members therewith,
into'which the ball is adapted to be lodged as indicated at 48by dotted lines in Fig. '1 of the drawings.
A goal device otthe type described manifestly'is cheap and'easy to produce, capable of being readily assembled and disassembled,
and, in. its assembled position, is strong, durable and unlikely to become broken or disordered during its use.
My game known as set, is adapted to be played on a rectangular field or court, either indoors or outdoors, measuring twenty feet in width and thirty feet in length, marked by suitable lines to indicate its boundary and different sections thereof used in scoring points when playing the game.
A playing field is illustrated in Fig. 3 and, as shown, it includes boundary lines a, a and b, b at the sides and ends thereof, respectively. Midway between the end boundary lines 6, b it is divided by a goal line 0 which extends parallel tov the end boundary lines and connects the side boundary lines a, a.
Three feet from each end boundary line is drawn a home line parallel to the end Midway between the side boundary lines, on the goal line 0 is "placed the goal device previously described, while described from a point on each homeline d,
midway between the side boundary lines a,
a is a semi-circular line a defining a base, the
two bases thus formed extending into the spaces between the end boundary lines and the respective home lines.
fA'ny even number oi players may play i the game; in the case of an uneven number,
one oi the players acts as scorekeeper until one ofthe other. players misses, when they should exchange places.
In playing the game one player stands on.
his base at one end. of the field and tosses the ball towards the other end of the'field,
first toss being decided inany desired man- .ner, and the object is either to lodge the ball in -one (of the V-shaped pockets formed between the standard 10 and the brace memgoal, to bounce the ball against any portion 'of 'the goal, so that itwill return to the player making the toss, or to strike the goal and send the" ball to the other players home line. The duty of the other player is to intercept any ball that passes the goal without overstepping the boundaries of the three foot space at his end of the field or court.
Points are scoredas follows:
For .lodgingthe ball in either V-shaped pocket-31 points, which is winning the game irrespective 01 scores previously made; for bouncing the ball on topoi' the cross piece 12 and sending the ball toopponents home line10 points; for tossing the ball through either opening 16 of the goal and sending ball to op ponents home line-5 points; for bouncing the ball against the goal and returning same to the tossers home line and catching the ball on its return2 points; for touching the goal with the ball and sending it to opponents home line-1 point. Missing a ball, overstepping home line, failing to send ball'to opp'onents home line or missing a ball on home scores one point against the player so erringz' Three misses or any type in succession loses a player five points. I 7
'An exact number of points scored is required to win, and'scorin'g a greater number of points loses the game;
The foregomg rules of course may be modified by agreement between the players before starting a game to make the game more or less difiicult according to the ability or" the players.
