A portable system for setting up swinging target games featuring an anchored tossable object, such as a hook or a ring, and a target for receiving the tossable object. The entire assembly is designed to break down and collapse into a compact arrangement for easy transport. It should be storable in a bag or box. The system includes a central bracket which connects three telescoping or collapsible tripod legs for standing the bracket at a location. The bracket includes a connection for a telescoping arm to radiate up and away from the bracket and legs to a terminal point a distance away from the bracket. A target can be mounted to the bracket and a string can be anchored to the terminal point of the telescoping arm. The tossable object is hung from the string and can be tossed towards the target

A method for performing balancing and squatting exercises that uses a kit that includes a clip attached to the brim on a hat or visor worn by the exerciser. Attached to the clip is a string that attaches to a weight. When the clip attaches to the brim the length of the string is adjusted so the weight hangs just above the ground when standing and when lowering to a squat position while standing on one leg or two legs. During use, exerciser stands upright with his arms extended outward and then bends his knees to a squatting position while keep the back straight. The exerciser identifies a spot on the ground and squats to place the weight over the spot. As the exerciser becomes more flexible, the length of the string is shortened. The kit may also include an optional elongated stick that extends over the exerciser's two shoulders.

A toy having three bobs on a string where the middle bob slides. A low moment of inertia of the middle bob is desirable because it minimizes tangling of the string about the middle bob and produces smooth, tactile-appealing orbits. Each bob has a pair of mated throughbore pieces sandwiching a central metal weight and an equatorial bag stuffed with low-density pellets. Concave sections (in profile on a plane along the polar axis) of the throughbore occupy a substantial portion of the length of the throughbore to take best advantage of the torques produced by the string by focusing the tension of the string at the mouths of the throughbore. The concave sections also reduce the volume occupied by the bag, thereby reducing moment of inertia. Additionally, hollows in the concave regions of the throughbore pieces further reduce the moment of inertia.

The present disclosure discloses a fixed mechanism for a tetherball rod and a tetherball fixed device. The fixed mechanism for a tetherball rod includes a connecting base and fixed members, wherein the connecting base is provided with connecting ports and connecting portions. The connecting ports are configured to connect to the tetherball rod and the connecting portions are connected to the fixed members. The fixed members are configured to connect to the ground so that the connecting base is installed on the ground. Further, the tetherball fixed device includes a support rod and a fixed mechanism for a tetherball rod of the present disclosure, and a lower end of the support rod is connected to connecting ports. Through the above structure setting, the fixed connection of the tetherball rod is implemented with a simple operation, convenient carry and strong stability.

A piata mount assembly has a plurality of versatile attachment orientations for attachment to either a discrete vertical member, such as a tree trunk, pole or post, or over the top of a wall. The piata mount assembly has a reversible wall support that can be coupled to the main bracket in opposing orientations. The reversible wall support has different mount surfaces for mounting to different types surfaces. The piata mount assembly has a vertical portion coupled with the reversible wall support. The vertical portion is coupled with a horizontal portion that has threads for engagement with threads of a knob for moving the horizontal portion. A claw on the horizontal portion may be used to mount the piata mount assembly over the top of a wall. The reversible wall support may be flipped around for mounting to a discrete vertical member, such as a tree trunk.
