DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS A preferred embodiment of the present invention is a game device for use with spherical objects comprising 1. a platform having a top and a bottom,
2. enclosing member circumscribing said platform,
3. cavities in the top of said platform adjacent to said enclosing member to receive said spherical objects, each of said cavities (a) being capable of receiving .2 one of said spherical objects, and (b) having guard means arranged and spaced to define an opening through which said spherical object must pass to seat in said cavity, and
4. single handle means extending from the bottom of said platform, said handle means having at least one flexible member, whereby said platform is manipulated by said handle means in order to cause said spherical objects to seat in said cavities. I
In still another embodiment, the handle means can also provide a space for storing the spherical objects when the device is not being used.
For a fuller understanding of the present invention, we will consider the device illustrated in FIGS. 1-7. The same number is used to designate the same element in the Figures. FIG. 1 illustrates, in full view, a game device of the present invention. The platform 1 has a number of cavities located in the four corners, one of which 2 is shown. The cavity 2 is adjacent to the retaining member 3. Each cavity 2 has a gateway (opening) 4. This opening 4 is formed by the guard means 5. The guard means 5 are positioned so that the opening 4 offers the only path to a cavity 2 for a spherical object 6. A handle means 7 extends from the bottom of the platform 1. This handle means 7 includes a flexible element 8, a hand placement element 9, having a rest element 9a.
In using the device (playing the game), the device is held by hand at the placement element 9. A number of spherical objects 6, usually one for each cavity 2 in the platform 1, are placed in the center of the platform 1. The platform I is then manipulated by the handle 7 in order to cause the spherical objects 6 to pass through the openings 4 and be seated in the cavities 2. When each cavity 2 has a spherical object seated therein, the game is completed. It is evident that movement of the handle 7 will cause the platform 1 to tilt from the horizontal in one direction, and the action of flexible element 8 will be to return the platform 1 back to the horizontal and further to a position opposite initial tilt direction. The extent of this tilt-return-tilt movement is to a degree dependent on the flexibility of the flexible means 8. The amount of flexibility in this element is not fixed and can be varied as is desired. The more flexible the element 8 is the more difficult and more challenging use of the device to achieve the object, i.e., to seat a spherical object in each cavity, will be. I
FIG. 2 is a top view of the FIG. 1 device. It shows the platform 1 to be substantially square and the position of the handle means 7 (in phantom) to be substantially centered. A series of openings (3a) are shown in the retaining member 3. These can be used to hold a pin, or pins, (not shown) to indicate the score" of the game being played.
FIG. 3 is a side view of the FIG. 1 type device. The flexible means 8 is shown as a spring which fits over a first post 1a. The hand placement element 9 is shown (in phantom) to provide a space 10 in which spherical objects 6 can be stored. The hand placement element tion directlyopposite to the second post 9b. Althoughthe posts la, 9b and 9c are shown to be smooth and cylindrical, other configurations are possible. For a more positive and secure fit, the posts can be threaded so that the flexible means 8 and the hand placement element 9 can be screwed onto the positions. Likewise, the flexible element 8, shown as a spring in the figure, can also be of another construction. For example, this element can be an elastomer tube, or a solid piece of elastomeric material. The primary requirement for this element 8 is that it be flexible.
FIG. 3 also shows (in phantom) the configuration of the cavities 2.
FIG. 4 is a side view of a FIG. 1 type device. It shows, in phantom, another construction for storage space in the hand placement element 9. In this arrangement, the rest element 9a and the hand placement element 9 are one unit. A cap 9d is provided to retain the spherical objects 6 in the storage space 10.
FIG. 4 also shows, in phantom, another cavity 2 configuration. The cavity 2 is simply a hole in the platform 1.
Although dimensions of the various elements of the device in general can be varied, a dimension of importance is the gateway or opening 4 through which the spherical objects pass. It must be at least equal to, and preferably just slightly larger than, the diameter of the spherical objects. If this opening is substantially larger than the spherical object diameter, the device will still be useful but will not be as challenging or entertaining in use.
With regard to the guard means 5, they are shown in the figures as two individual posts. This is not meant to limit their configuration. For example, they can be a single unit or they can be joined across the top. The only requisite for the guard members 5 is that they be positioned so that they provide an opening through which the spherical object can and must pass in order to become seated in the cavities 2. For packaging and storage convenience, of course, the guard means should probably not be substantially higher than the retaining member 3.
As FIGS. 3 and 4 show, the game device can also be disassembled, if desired, for storage.
FIGS. 5, 6 and 7 are top views illustrating other useful platform 1 shapes (triangle, circle, hexagon, respectively).
The present game device can be constructed of any material or combination of materials having the requisite physical properties, durability and rigidity. Thus, elements of the device can be made of wood; synthetic materials such as polystyrene, ABS resin, rigid polyvinyl chloride, or other such materials. It is quite conveniently made of wood and metal.
The spherical objects also can be of any material. Marbles are commonly used. If desired, the marbles can be color-keyed to the cavities. Thus, a yellow cavity would take a yellow marble, etc. This can add to the game play but is not a requirement for the present device.
