Definitions

• This invention relates to a game and apparatus therefor, the game being one of exercise, amusement and skill.
• Figure 1 is a perspective view of a pair of spaced goal posts showing a player pitching rings at a distant post;
• Figure 2 is an enlarged view of the scoring apparatus associated with each goal post.
• Each goal post comprises a pair of base members l0 and H, having a cross-piece l2 secured to the top thereof with king pins or goal posts l3 and i4 projecting upwardly from the ends of cross-piece [2.
• the base members l0 and II have notches in their upper edges and the cross-piece l2 fits snugly in the notches.
• a hole is bored through each end of cross-piece l2 and extends into the base piece.
• the pins [3 and M are then driven to the position shown in dotted lines and this serves to hold the base pieces and the crosspiece together.
• Secured to an intermediate portion of cross-piece I2 is an upright [5 having another cross-piece l6 thereon in which the lower ends of U-shaped wire member II are secured.
• this wire member Slidably mounted on this wire member is a plurality of chips 18, there being the same number of chips on each goal post.
• the goal posts are indicated broadly by reference characters A and B, but like reference characters apply to the structure of both posts.
• As an adjunct to the game and forming a part of the apparatus I provide a plurality of rings 20 and 2
• These rings may be made of any suitable material, such as metal, rubber or composition material.
• the player 15 at goal post A would toss a ring with a view to encircling one of the pins l3 of goal post B. His score would be kept by his opponent by the counting mechanism at the top of goal post B.
• all the chips would 20 be stacked on one side of the U-shaped member at each goal post, and whichever player succeeding in winning enough points to cause all of his chips to be moved over to the other side of the U-shaped member would be the winner of the 25 game.
• a knockdown game apparatus comprising a pair of spaced semi-circular base members each having a lower flat edge adapted to rest on the ground, the uppermost portions of the base mem- 40 bers each having a transversely disposed notch therein, a cross member having its ends fitting in said notches, the ends of the cross member and the base members having coinciding holes penetrating the cross members and extending from 45 the bases of said notches downwardly into the base members, and a goal post having its lower end snugly penetrating the holes in the ends of the cross member and snugly fitting into the holes in the base members to secure the cross 50 member and the base members together, said goal pins projecting upwardly above the cross member to serve as goal posts for the apparatus.
