A suction dart target game system includes a throwing member with a central protrusion, and first and second throwing suction cups; and a target piece with a first target suction cup; such that the target piece is attached to a mounting structure, such that a user can throw the throwing member at the target piece from a distance, optionally such that the throwing member rotates in flight, such that either the first throwing suction cup or the second throwing suction cup attaches to the first or second target suction cup or to a surface area of the mounting structure adjacent to the target piece, if a throw is successful. Also disclosed is a suction dart target game method, including positioning a target piece, throwing a throwing member, and measuring a distance.

The present invention relates to a device and a method associated with the device. With respect to the device, it is a set of game equipment, which is used to play an interactive athletic game. This device can be used to allow two teams of players to compete with the intent to score more points than the opposing team.

The core components of the invention are a ball and blocks, which, generally speaking, are configured as follows: cone-like blocks that can be assembled at the narrow ends and stacked into one column and a cushioned ball for throwing and striking.

With respect to the associated method, in order to carry out the method the following core steps are followed: begin the game by stacking all the blocks, then the offensive team will attempt to knock down the blocks and reassemble them.

Meanwhile, the opposing team attempts to eliminate the opposing team players by striking them with the ball. Ultimately, at the conclusion of these steps, if the offensive team is successful in stacking the blocks before the opposing team eliminates the members, they have scored a point.

A toy launcher with a drum magazine assembly that has a rotatable drum portion mounted for rotation, with a rear plate and a central support with an opening for a support axle. A ring of projectile holders is connected to the rear plate, with each projectile holder holding at least two projectiles arranged in a generally radially stacked configuration. Generally radially extending walls are located between adjacent projectile holders. Each of the projectile holders includes a slot on a radially inner side into which a projectile biasing arm extends at a projectile launch position. A pusher is located in the housing adjacent to the projectile launch position. Drive wheels are positioned in front of the drum magazine assembly at the projectile launch position. The drive wheels are motorized so that they rotate to propel a projectile pushed from the drum between the drive wheels for launching the projectile.

In accordance with embodiments a projectile can have a body and a tip attached to the body, the body including a nub portion extending from a second end of the body and optionally one or more fins surrounding a circumference of the body at the second end.

A throwing game including an elongated board with targets at both ends. The targets can be formed from cylinders and/or funnels. Points are scored based on the target sizes, with more points being awarded for tossing cards into the smaller or more difficult targets. The board can be collapsible and stored in a bag or box for portability. All of the targets, deck of cards, and other accessories can be stored within the same bag or box. Stands may be used to hold the board away from the ground. In one embodiment, modifiers on the cards can change the value of a scored point.

A toy projectile launcher pistol having a handle with an internal projectile storage area; at least one pair of inwardly biased resilient flaps; an air piston assembly having a barrel and a plunger element; a sliding handle coupled to the barrel, the sliding handle and barrel being movable between a forward position and a backward position; a compression spring that biases the plunger element against a rear wall in the toy projectile launcher pistol; and a latching assembly that couples the plunger element to a trigger assembly when the sliding handle is moved to the backward position, and the trigger assembly, upon toggling, releasing the coupling of the latching assembly between the plunger element and the trigger assembly.

Disclosed is a laser emitting dart apparatus (LEDA) and method of use. The LEDA provides for a dart apparatus that, by emitting a laser beam from a tip of the dart and projecting a laser dot onto a selected target, facilitates a dart user’s aim by providing an indication of where the dart is likely to strike a selected target if the dart is thrown or projected in a substantially straight line from point of the user’s grasp to the indicated laser dot projected onto the target. The invention further contemplates various charging cases or dart cradles that provide an electrical source to recharge a battery of the LEDA when the LEDA is not in use.

Disclosed is a dart game system which is capable of providing a laser lighting effect. The dart game system includes a dart game apparatus and a laser lighting apparatus, in which the dart game apparatus includes: a dart target which includes a plurality of segments and which a thrown dart pin hits, the plurality of segments including a plurality of receiving recesses for receiving respective thrown dart pins, each segment being set with a score corresponding to a position of each segment in the dart target; a sensing unit which detects a segment hit by the dart pin among the segments included in the dart target; and a controller which detects a hitting position of the dart pin at least partially based on a signal received from the sensing unit, progresses a dart game based on the hitting position of the dart pin, and controls the laser lighting apparatus, and the laser lighting apparatus is disposed at a position, at which the laser lighting apparatus radiates a laser to each segment of the dart target, and provides the laser lighting effect to the dart pin at least partially based on a determination of the controller.

Mechanically attachable fletching is disclosed herein for a projectile having a shaft having an exterior surface. The mechanically attachable fletching includes at least one fin, a connection section bordering the at least one fin, and at least one mechanical fastener for attaching the fletching to the exterior surface of the shaft via the connection section. Also disclosed herein are methods for mechanically attaching fletching to the shaft of the projectile. Also disclosed herein are illuminated projectiles. Also described herein is a projectile having a shaft, a projectile head, and at least one fin. The projectile head preferably has a plurality of layers, the head end preferably being associated with the projectile head. Also described herein is a projectile that includes a shaft, a suction head, an outer head casing, and at least one fin. The suction head is preferably associated with the head end. The at least one launcher engager is preferably associated with the suction head. Two halves of the outer head casing preferably sandwich the suction head and the head end.

A toy projectile launcher pistol having a handle with an internal projectile storage area; at least one pair of inwardly biased resilient flaps; an air piston assembly having a barrel and a plunger element; a sliding handle coupled to the barrel, the sliding handle and barrel being movable between a forward position and a backward position; a compression spring that biases the plunger element against a rear wall in the toy projectile launcher pistol; and a latching assembly that couples the plunger element to a trigger assembly when the sliding handle is moved to the backward position, and the trigger assembly, upon toggling, releasing the coupling of the latching assembly between the plunger element and the trigger assembly.
