Device and method for determining and comparing distances between balls in the game of bocce in which a marker block is magnetically attached to a measuring tape in a position corresponding to the distance between a first thrown ball and a target ball, and the tape with the marker attached is then used to compare that distance with the distance between a second thrown ball and the target ball to determine which of the two thrown balls is closer to the target ball.

PAPER-BASED ELONGATE STRUCTURES SUITABLE FOR USE AS LUMBER SUBSTITUTES
20170335559 · 2017-11-23 ·

Paper-based elongate structures suitable for use as lumber substitutes, articles of manufacture made thereof, kits of materials including such structures, and machines and methods for making the same. Elongate structures according to the invention include a hollow outer portion formed of corrugated fiberboard sheet material and an accordion-folded inner support formed of corrugated fiberboard sheet material. The hollow outer portion has four outer surfaces that define a rectangle when viewed in cross-section transverse to a longitudinal axis of the elongate structure. The accordion-folded inner support is enclosed within the hollow outer portion. The inner support includes a plurality of first spaced-apart peaks that contact a first inner surface of the hollow outer portion and a plurality of second spaced-apart peaks that contact an opposing second inner surface of the hollow outer portion. The accordion-folded inner support structure improves the beam strength, crush resistance and lateral strength of the elongate structure.

Disc toss game
20170333771 · 2017-11-23 ·

A disc tossing game for a plurality of players: This game consists of players tossing discs onto a base target component that is physically connected by hinging/casing components to a backstop component to form a game system. The backstop can be locked into a relatively perpendicular relationship to the base target. The base target and backstop planar surface pieces can be folded flat to each other for transport and storage. A carrying handle is built-in. Participating players, in turn, each toss a disc at the base target of the game system. The player whose disc ends up on the base target closest to the backstop for that turn of play wins all other discs tossed by other participants. This is a competitive game that is safe and can be played either indoors or outdoors by young or old.
