METHODS AND COMPONENTS FOR A WALL-MOUNTABLE GAME SYSTEM
Disclosed is a wall-mountable game system comprising a plurality of game pieces and one or more receiving non-woven acoustic panels wherein the receiving non-woven acoustic panels may be affixed to a vertical surface by an adhesive patch. The plurality of game pieces may be attached to the one or more receiving non-woven acoustic panels by a hook and loop fastening system. Embodiments of the wall-mountable game system include game pieces and receiving non-woven acoustic panels made of synthetic fibers with sound dampening characteristics, and/or fire retardant characteristics. Auxiliary non-woven acoustic panels may be included, which are affixable to the vertical surface and configured to at least partially surround the one or more receiving non-woven acoustic panels.
METHODS AND COMPONENTS FOR A WALL-MOUNTABLE GAME SYSTEM
A method for forming non-woven acoustic panels comprises: obtaining a first non-woven acoustic panel and a second non-woven acoustic panel formed from synthetic fiber felt; cutting the first non-woven acoustic panel and removing a first region from the first non-woven acoustic panel, thereby forming a first cut surface that defines a first opening in the first non-woven acoustic panel; cutting the second non-woven acoustic panel and removing a second region from the second non-woven acoustic panel, thereby forming a second cut surface that defines a second opening in the second non-woven acoustic panel; and forming a first finished non-woven acoustic panel by inserting the second region from the second non-woven acoustic panel into the first opening of the first non-woven acoustic panel, wherein inter-fiber mechanical interlocking facilitates retention of the second region removed from the second non-woven acoustic panel within the first opening of the first non-woven acoustic panel.
Reconfigurable board game system
A reconfigurable boardgame system herein comprises a reconfigurable boardgame board (e.g., four panel tri-fold) with a plurality of page-retaining corner members in corners of board panels, allowing interchanging customized boardgame pages. In one embodiment, only those corners of each panel that are exteriorly located on the board have corresponding corner members (leaving the center unobstructed). In another embodiment, the boardgame board is contained within a reconfigurable boardgame kit, which may comprise reusable (e.g., generic and shared) game pieces (dice, timers, pawns, etc.) for use by many games. In still another embodiment, the boardgame kit comprises blank and/or templated items to be filled in, such as boardgame panels, cards, customized dice, game pawn blanks, rules templates, etc. Envelopes may store the game panel pages, rules, and custom pieces of each individual boardgame, to be stored in the kit and used with the reconfigurable boardgame board and the generic reusable game pieces.
INTERACTIVE BASKETBALL BOARD GAME SYSTEM WITH MODULAR COURT AND MULTIPLE GAME MODES
An interactive basketball board game system having a substantially planar surface serving as a game court with removable perimeter borders that define a playing area. The system includes basketball hoops and backboards secured to end borders, and miniature basketballs. The court surface features magnetic-receptive material enabling interchangeable court illustrations. The system incorporates authentic basketball simulation mechanics requiring balls to bounce once before shooting attempts, foul calling systems, and alternating possession rules. The compact, portable design allows for easy assembly, disassembly, and storage while providing comprehensive basketball gameplay experiences suitable for various skill levels and player counts.
UMBRELLA WARE SYSTEMS
The umbrella ware system allows for various system devices to be connected to and rotated manually around the pole while resting on the table surface. The system design allows for the installation and removal of system gaming boards, food service trays, and container holders without having to remove the pole. The devices can be rotated 360 degrees around the pole, counterclockwise or clockwise. The system features two (2) halves: one with a female connector design and one with a male connector design. The connectors may utilize permanent magnets to attract and hold the two halves together. The magnets are embedded in the male halves of the rectangular-shaped insertion pins as well as in the female halves of the rectangular-shaped receptacle cavities.
