Game apparatus
This disclosure relates to a game apparatus including a housing, a motion measurement arrangement and a flexible tether. The motion measurement arrangement is at least partially located within the housing and includes a multi-axis pivot member movable relative to the housing in at least two axes. The motion measurement arrangement also includes a sensor arrangement for measuring multi-axis movement of the pivot member. The flexible tether has a free end coupled to a strikable object and a proximal end coupled to the pivot member. The motion measurement arrangement is configured to measure an indication of one or more parameters of the strikable object's motion upon striking of the strikable object by a user.

Ring toss game apparatus
A ring toss game apparatus including a ring; a line suspending the ring from a support for manually induced movement of the ring; a housing for mounted disposition a predetermined length away from the ring; a hook mounted to the housing for ring capture through the hook opening; means for providing a control signal responsive to the hook operatively capturing the ring; and means for engaging the ring and moving the ring off the hook wherein games may be played by urging the ring toward the hook with the objective of each iteration being operative engagement of the ring with the hook, resulting in operation of the means for engaging the ring and moving the ring off the hook, thereby allowing another attempt at hook engagement without the player having to approach the hook and manually remove the ring.

Remedial deviation device for hand, wrist and forearm rehabilitation and training
A hand, wrist and forearm remedial deviation roller device which allows for a complete therapeutic and training exercise program to build and increase the muscles of the hands, wrists, and forearms through relative rotation of perpendicular adjustable phased handle grips and which is portable, simple in design, and inexpensive to construct.
Tether ball type game system
A game system for playing on a horizontal surface includes vertical pole with a lower section telescopingly fixed with an aligned upper section. The lower section has a bottom end adapted for fixing with a base. An upper end of the lower section is adapted for receiving the upper section at a height adjustment mechanism. The base is adapted to engage the horizontal surface and may include a weight, a ground-penetrating spike, or the like. The upper section has a top end with a rigid implement connector adapted for receiving a playing implement. A flexible tether has an upper end fixed with the playing implement, and a lower end fixed with a sports ball. The playing implement may include a metallic coil spring, an extension rod, or other playing implement.
