Interactive skill challenge coin funnel spinning well
A coin funnel spinning well device includes upper and lower sections connected by a midsection suspension system configured for accommodating oscillating movement in three dimensions between the sections. The upper section includes an observation dome mounted on a funnel with a lower funnel discharge. A coin launch assembly is mounted in the observation dome and receives coins through a coin insert opening in the observation dome. A pair of handles are mounted on opposite sides of the upper section and enable an operator to manipulate movement of the upper section to maintain a coin on a spiral trajectory. The coin funnel spinning well device can be automated with a computerized control system for controlling Internet access, lighting, coin sensing, timer, and input and output device functions.
BOARD GAME APPARATUS AND METHOD THEREFOR
A board game apparatus, comprising a dented platform having a plurality of dents that are adapted to receive corresponding game pieces, wherein each dent adapted to accommodate a single game piece, and manipulating means adapted for placing the game pieces into desirable dents, or for shifting the position of a game piece between dents.
Method, a hand-operated apparatus, a shooting apparatus, and a playing surface platform for dynamic activities
A small scale dynamic activity which comprises the use of a method, a hand-operated apparatus, a shooting apparatus, and a playing surface platform, presented as a preferred embodiment in the format of a small scale adaptation of the sport of hockey. A hand-operated apparatus is used as goalie equipment with a method of defending a goal from forthcoming small pucks. A shooting apparatus allows rotating a paddle member to control and propel such small pucks. A playing surface platform complements the use of the method along with these two apparatuses within shielded boundaries. The hand-operated apparatus can be positioned in a pose representative of goalie equipments and of bending of limbs. Furthermore, the present invention can be composed of different arrangements for alternative embodiments such as new types of games or to allow small scale adaptation of a physical activity.
Motivational phrase assembly
A motivational phrase assembly includes a housing that is positionable on a support surface. A lid is attached to the housing and the lid has an opening extending therethrough. A dome is movably disposed on the housing, the dome is depressable into a depressed position and the dome is biased into a raised position. A pair of dice is positioned within the dome such that the dice are visible through the dome. Each of the dice has indicia printed thereon and the indicia comprise a plurality of unique motivational phrases. The dice are shaken in the dome when the dome is depressed and subsequently released thereby facilitating random sides of the dice to be displayed. In this way the motivational phrases on the random sides are displayed to the user.
