AI Technical Summary

Benefits of technology

The present invention is a new toss game apparatus that is portable and easy to assemble. It consists of two identical standalone units that can be converted into a storage unit for easy transport. Each unit has a plurality of upright receiving members for receiving projectiles, and a lid that helps create a seal or closed container. The apparatus also includes a lightweight projectile that is resistant to wind and weather conditions. The invention improves upon prior inventions by providing a more intuitive and hassle-free game experience.

Problems solved by technology

Another problem with the current form of the game is that it is not designed to be readily transported.
Transporting the game and its multiple separate parts over a distance is difficult.
Another problem with the current form of the game is the unsanitary conditions in which the game is played.
Oftentimes, the ping pong misses its target and frequently lands on the ground where it can become soiled with dirt, sand, or other impurities.
The ping pong is then tossed again and if successful, lands into one of the cups filled with liquid which in turn contaminates the liquid.
Additionally, oftentimes in practice cups are toppled over in the course of play which further contaminates the playing surface.
