Benefits of technology

[0012]One lengthwise member of the smaller frame has two holes close to the center of the part at nominally 6 inches apart. A rope of approximately 24 inches in length and about the same diameter as said holes with a knot at one end is fed through from inside to outside of one of said holes, then through a 3.5 inch length of sturdy, lightweig

Problems solved by technology

The problem with these designs is that they are either constructed of 2″×4″ wood frames that are 2′ wide×4′ long (regulation cornhole size) which makes them very heavy, or there are lighter style boards that are smaller than regulation size making them illegal for use at tourname

Embodiment Construction

[0025]The invention will now be discussed in more detail referring to the drawings.

[0026]Looking at FIG. 1 and FIG. 2 you will see the two different game boards 20 and 21, both having a plurality of members. Both game boards 20 and 21 have an upper deck playing surface 1 with a hole 2, two legs 8, and leg fasteners 6. Game boards 20 and 21 differ when it comes to frame member sizes and the special machining to frame members. FIG. 1 shows that game board 20 has frame members upper 7, lower 5, and side member 4 that has slot hole 3 and rounded slot ends 9, all of which are located close to the outer narrow edges of upper deck 1. This outer frame forms an exterior portion when game boards 20 and 21 are nested together.

[0027]FIG. 2 illustrates the differences of game board 21 that allow the two frame portions of the separate game boards to nest together. Frame members upper 17, lower 11, and long members 10 and 15 are all located a sufficient distance from the outer narrow edges of uppe...

Abstract

An improvement on a bean-bag game-board that allows the user to fold up the game boards into a case and easily carry them around with the bean bags inside. The popular game is known by names like “bag toss”, “bags”, “tailgate toss” or “cornhole”. The present invention is a light-weight, easy to use and carry version of the original game that takes up minimal space when consolidated for storage. Lightweight construction allows one game board to fit within the other while forming a case for game bags. A handle for carrying that also acts as a hinge-free and locking fastener for easy assembly when game set is packed for carrying or storage. Folding legs allow the boards to fit together in a small space and have an offset pivot point that provides the strength of having three points of contact when in the open position.

No. 6,244,598 June 2001 ConvilleBACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION[0005]This invention refers to a game that has many different names and rule variations. It is called bean bag toss, bags, tailgate toss and more specifically cornhole. The game of cornhole is so called because of the target of a 6″ diameter hole in a slanted board target and the corn filled bags that are used to project to this target. It is said that the game has been around in some form for centuries. The game is well documented and has associations that determine rules and specifications for equipment. The prior art is filled with different examples of slight variations in size and design. The problem with these designs is that they are either constructed of 2″×4″ wood frames that are 2′ wide×4′ long (regulation cornhole size) which makes them...
