Benefits of technology

This patent describes a slot chair that can be used as a seat and also as a target for a game where players throw objects, such as Frisbees, through a slot in the chair. The chair is made up of a frame with a backing and legs, with the slot located between the backing and the lowermost portion of the legs. The chair can also have a pouch for collecting the objects that are thrown through the slot. The technical effect of this invention is a versatile, adjustable, and durable seating mechanism that can be used in various settings for different purposes.

Problems solved by technology

Such stands tend to fall if a Frisbee is thrown at the receptacle with too much force, and the receptacle is prone to being tipped over in the wind.
This particular game is burdensome to set-up without proper foundation, such as sand, to maintain the cylindrical “cans” in place.
Further, the KanJam can be easily disrupted by the elements, such as wind.
