Stationary water game
The stationary water game features two hollow, toroidal members made from durable, abrasion resistant latex fabric, the toroidal member being adjoined by a unique anchor system. The toroidal members are anchored with rubber handles or consistent materials underneath the surface, which is unique in its design, that attach by adjustable bungee cords, plastic or metal clasps, to weights either comprising of hand twisting steel corkscrew anchors or custom sandbags that serve as weights. The bungee cord connectors with clasp serves as the connecting device between the toroidal member rubber handle or consistent material and the anchor below the water surface. The anchor system is designed to hold the toroidal members stationary to provide a target for the game, by tossing rubber balls, that float, at the target with the concept of hitting or making them into the hollow middle. The unique scoring system allows for multiple players up to four participants to play against each other to score points.
MULTIFUNCTIONAL OCTOPUS-LIKE TOY
The present disclosure discloses a multifunctional octopus-like toy, which includes a water floating body. The water floating body is provided with a concave cavity with an opening facing upwards, and a plurality of tentacles extending upwards are distributed on an outer wall of the water floating body. The present disclosure has ingenious structural design. The water floating body is provided with the concave cavity, into which a ball can be thrown. Alternatively, when the toy is of a larger size, it can also be used for carrying a person and an object, and a ring can be thrown onto the tentacles. When being played, the toy can be placed on the ground or can float on water to play the basketball shooting game and the ring throwing game.
DIVING DEVICES CONFIGURED TO MAKE AND/OR TO EMIT DISTINCT NOISES AND ASSOCIATED METHODS FOR THE USE OF THE DIVING DEVICES
A set of diving devices and methods of using the same in, for example, a water-based game, are provided. The devices comprise two or more diving devices, each being configured to be tossed into a body of water and upon entry to cause a water entry noise that is distinct from water entry noises corresponding to each of the other diving devices in the set of diving devices. The distinctness of the water entry noise for each device in the set is due at least in part to at least one of a size of each of the diving devices, a shape of each of the diving devices, a density of each of the diving device, and/or a weight of each of the diving devices. The methods involve users attempting to retrieve devices based upon distinct water entry noises and/or emitted audio signals, with points being awarded thereupon.
MULTIPLE GAME DEVICE
An apparatus includes a base, a receptacle, one or more vertical members, and a backboard. The base includes a first end, a second end positioned opposite of the first end, a first surface, and a second surface positioned opposite of the first surface. The receptacle is formed in the first surface of the base and positioned between the first end of the base and the second end of the base. The one or more vertical members extend from the base on a side of the receptacle positioned opposite of the first end of the base. The backboard is coupled to the one or more vertical members and includes a face oriented toward the receptacle. The face of the backboard extends in a plane which extends relative to the first surface of the base at an angle greater than ninety degrees.
Removable paddle attachment device
A removable paddle attachment assembly is provided. The attachment assembly may include a attachment bracket terminating at opposing saddles, a handle saddle for engaging a first portion of a watercraft paddle and an activity saddle for engaging an activity device, whereby the activity device is removably yet rigidly secured to the watercraft paddle so that the activity device may be employed for game-playing and/or exercise-training purposes, while not impairing the performance and functionality of the watercraft paddle. The attachment bracket provides at least one attachment strap cleat so that a attachment strap may be stretched from one lateral surface of the attachment bracket to an opposing lateral surface thereof, thereby securely sandwiching the first and a second portion of the watercraft paddle against the handle saddle.
Aquatic Game Apparatus and Method of Playing Aquatic Game
An apparatus for shape and color matching retrieval games to be played in a body of water, such as a swimming pool, includes base stations, cover panels, and retrieval objects that players retrieve from the body of water during play of the game. The base provides a support to which cover panels can be removably affixed. The base and the cover panels each have on their top surfaces a series of position markers in the nature of slots formed in various geometric shapes. Each base and cover panel has a subset of retrieval objects matched in shape and/or color to its respective position markers. A method is provided for playing different versions of retrieval games using the base and the cover panels.
WATER BALL HOOP
A goal configured to both float and be used on water is disclosed. The goal comprises a base, a support structure, and a planar element. The base includes a top surface defining a base plane. The support structure has a pair of opposing arm portions coupled to the base. The planar element is coupled to and extends between the pair of opposing arms of the support structure, is disposed generally perpendicular to the base plane, and defines at least one generally circular main aperture.
PENTAGONAL POOL
A five-sided pool may be used to play a game such as water baseball. The pool may include a base having a top surface and a bottom surface. The base may include batter boxes and a home plate on the top surface of the base. The pool may further include multiple sides joined at a periphery of the base. The base and the multiple sides may form a pentagonal-shaped pool.
Disc throwing game having illumination and flotation means
A disc throwing game including a receptacle including: an open top, an open bottom connected to the open top, and at least one aperture arranged between the open top and the open bottom, and an illumination means securable only to an inside surface of the receptacle a distance from the at least one aperture, the illumination means operatively arranged to transmit light through the at least one aperture and the open top. A disc throwing game assembly including two such receptacles and a disc shaped gliding object. A method of playing the disc throwing game.
DIVING DEVICES CONFIGURED TO MAKE AND/OR TO EMIT DISTINCT NOISES AND ASSOCIATED METHODS FOR THE USE OF THE DIVING DEVICES
A set of diving devices and methods of using the same in, for example, a water-based game, are provided. The devices comprise two or more diving devices, each being configured to be tossed into a body of water and upon entry to cause a water entry noise that is distinct from water entry noises corresponding to each of the other diving devices in the set of diving devices. The distinctness of the water entry noise for each device in the set is due at least in part to at least one of a size of each of the diving devices, a shape of each of the diving devices, a density of each of the diving device, and/or a weight of each of the diving devices.
