Benefits of technology

The solution enhances entertainment value by allowing games with small dimensions, incorporating movable traps that increase player engagement through predicting rebound angles and scoring points, suitable for players of all ages.

Problems solved by technology

However, many of the known games have a rather complicated design (for example, US2008217848 A1, 2008 Sep. 11, JP2009039188 A, 2009 Feb. 26).
This impairs their performance and limits the possibilities of their embodiment in a portable version, which is required for such games to be used in various settings (at home, on holiday).
The drawback of the game simulating the game of golf is in that it is insufficiently entertaining, due to the fact that the accuracy of a shot depends only on the applied force and the direction of the shot.
Another disadvantage is the fact that the imitation of golf requires a sufficiently large game field.

Embodiment Construction

[0020]The game comprises a flat game field 1 with holes 2. The game field is limited by a sidewall 3. Sidewall 3 prevents the escape of the ball from game field 1.

[0021]In the general case, game field 1 may be made rectangular, square or may have some other shape, and it should be made of a material with a high coefficient of elasticity, for example, of metal, wood, plastic, or hard rubber. Such an implementation facilitates multiple rebounds of the ball thrown into game field 1, and enhances the entertaining value of the game.

[0022]In the general case, holes 2 may be of different shape. To enhance the entertaining value of the game, the geometry of holes 2 should be such that their transverse dimensions in the plane of the game field allow the ball to enter the hole easily and to touch the surface of the hole. Holes 2 may be made spherical, parabolic, or have some other shape.

[0023]Distribution of holes 2 on game field 1 may be different, for example, uniform or chaotic. In the ill...

Abstract

The invention relates to table or floor games based on throwing a ball into the game field, and can be used in organizing leisure and entertainment for both children and adults. The game comprises a game field with a plurality of holes and at least one movable trap for the ball outside the game field. The trap for the ball may be fixed to a rod, which is slidably mounted on a bar, said bar being attached to the sidewall, which limits the game field. The trap for the ball may be fixed to a rod, which is mounted on a movable platform.

Description

FIELD OF THE INVENTION[0001]The invention relates to table or floor games based on throwing a ball into the game field, and can be used in organizing leisure and entertainment for both children and adults.BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION[0002]In the present invention, the term “ball” includes round objects capable of elastically rebounding from the surface onto which they are thrown.[0003]Games based on throwing a ball into the game field with holes for receiving the ball are popular due to the fact that the result of the game largely depends on the skills of the player. However, many of the known games have a rather complicated design (for example, US2008217848 A1, 2008 Sep. 11, JP2009039188 A, 2009 Feb. 26). This impairs their performance and limits the possibilities of their embodiment in a portable version, which is required for such games to be used in various settings (at home, on holiday).[0004]The present invention relates to structurally simple tabletop games that can be impleme...
