Benefits of technology

The patent text describes a glove gun that has a beam emitter for shooting a beam of light. The gun can be attached to a trampoline for use in a game. A bounce sensor is attached to the glove and can provide data to a circuit or microprocessor on the glove. Games can be programmed into the microprocessor to control the gun's behavior. The bounce sensor can trigger the microprocessor to initiate a shot if it senses user bounces. The wireless communication between the bounce sensor and the glove allows for the electronic maintenance of ammunition count. Users can be assigned a specific number of shots per bounce, or given the goal of shooting more than one target on a single bounce.

Problems solved by technology

The game of laser tag has been played in a variety of different locations, but has not yet been adapted to trampoline usage with a glove gun.

Embodiment Construction

[0036]A glove has a glove body 50 that fits on a hand of the user provides an alternative gun in a laser tag support where typically infrared beams or other beams are used to tag upon players or stationary targets. Preferably, the glove emits a beam of infrared light, but ultraviolet or visible light is also usable though at the present time infrared is the best mode. The glove body is shaped like as a fingerless glove.

[0037]The glove may have a beam path indicator 24 drawn as a line on the glove that indicates a direction of the beam. The beam path indicator 24 can be mounted to the shield adapter 41. The shield adapter 41 is a flat plastic member that is preferably elastomeric to connect the glove top section 42 to the beam emitter housing 46. The glove top section 42 is preferably made of an elastic sheet such as a foam neoprene or polychloroprene synthetic rubber.

[0038]The glove top section 42 is fitted and configured for fitting a hand. The glove top section is connected to the...

Abstract

A glove gun comprising a glove having a hand opening for receiving a hand of the user, a thumb opening, a little finger opening, a ring finger opening, a middle finger opening, and an index finger opening. The glove has a glove top section opposing a palm section. A beam emitter is mounted to the glove on the glove top section. The beam emitter is a game weapon that shoots a beam from the beam emitter. The switch body has a switch. The switch body is attached to the palm section. A target has one or more beam receivers capable of receiving a signal from the beam emitter of the gun.

Description

FIELD OF THE INVENTION[0001]The present invention is in the field of games.DISCUSSION OF RELATED ART[0002]A variety of trampoline games have been played on trampolines, such as basketball. Publicover describes a trampoline game accessory in United States publication 20050043122 published Feb. 24, 2005, the disclosure of which is incorporated herein by reference. The trampoline game includes a variety of electronic buttons located above a trampoline bed. Publicover in United States publication 20100190608 of Jul. 29, 2000, describes a trampoline game system with additional optional accessories including variations of tag, hopscotch, volleyball, basketball and other modifications of traditional games which may include scoring a goal with a ball. Coiling in U.S. Pat. No. 7,481,740 issued Jan. 27, 2009 includes a soccer goal fitted on a portion of a trampoline enclosure net. Other inventors have created other designs, such as Chen in U.S. Pat. No. 6,918,846 provides for an inflatable ba...
