Modular Rotatable Disc-Target for Competitive Games

Abstract

A modular rotatable disc-target for competitive games provides an easily dismantling and easily transportable goal that can be reconfigured to increase or decrease the difficulty of a competitive game. The modular rotatable disc-target for competitive game has a goal frame, a first goal post, a second goal post, a base frame, and a locking mechanism. Players playing the competitive game attempt to propel a disc-shaped projectile through the goal frame to win the game. The goal frame is rotatably supported on opposite ends by the first goal post and the second goal post. The base frame prevents the goal frame from being displaced from the desired position on the playing field.

Players can choose between different difficulty levels by using the locking mechanism to lock the rotation angle of the goal frame. This makes it more difficult to propel the disc-shaped throwing object past the goal frame.

Description

[0001]The current application claims a priority to the U.S. Provisional Patent application Ser. No. 62 / 407,703 filed on Oct. 13, 2016.FIELD OF THE INVENTION[0002]The present invention generally relates to a modular rotatable disc-target for competitive games. In particular, a disc-target having a goal frame that is rotatably fastened to a first goal post and a second goal post, provides a reconfigurable and resizable target for a disc-shaped projectile used in a competitive game.BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION[0003]Many competitive sports popular today involve throwing a projectile object through a goal, whether it is a soccer goal post, a basketball hoop, or a football goal post. This is especially true for sports that utilize a disc-shaped projectile such as a frisbee. In sports using discs, a player's ability to hit a target, such as a goal, over long distances is a central skill. Further, in many cases, the sports may be solely a test of a user's targeting and throwing abilities. Th...

Problems solved by technology

However, constructing and setting up a large goal is difficult and requires considerable time and effort.

The large size also makes it very difficult to transport the goal without completely disassembling it.

This limits the versatility of the goal and difficulty level of the competitive game being played.

Players need to constantly improve their skills by practicing at varying difficulty levels, so the absence of a reconfigurable feature greatly reduces the desirability of the goal.
