Magnetic Projectile Game System

a projectile game and magnetic technology, applied in the field of manual dexterity-requiring game systems, can solve the problems of reducing the accuracy of the game, difficult to tell the position where the previous projectile had landed, and the lawn dart was taken off the market, so as to reduce the noise of the impact, prevent damage from the impact, and assist in the adhesion of the magnetic projectile

Benefits of technology

The present invention provides a magnetic projectile game system that includes a platform with an inclined target surface and ferrous materials, and magnetic projectiles with a head member and tail member. The head member has a magnetic component and a shock absorbing member to prevent direct contact with the target surface and reduce impact and noise. The shock absorbing member can be rubber or padding surrounded by flexible material. The technical effects of this invention include improved control and accuracy of magnetic projectiles on the target surface, reduced damage to the target and improved adhesion, and reduced noise and impact during game play.

Problems solved by technology

Lawn darts, however, were taken off the market in the United States due to the danger posed by accidental striking of participants or bystanders with the dart tips.
However, safety lawn darts bounce or roll beyond the point of impact, making game play more difficult.
Safety lawn dart also fall over after striking the ground making it difficult to tell the position where previous projectile had landed.

Abstract

A magnetic projectile game system is provided. The system includes a platform having a panel with an inclined target surface and includes one or more magnetic attractive materials. The game system also includes one or more magnetic projectiles. The magnetic projectiles have a head member and a respective tail member. The head member includes a magnetic attractive component and a shock absorbing member configured and arranged to prevent the magnetic attractive component from directly contacting the target surface when head member contacts the target surface. When the magnetic projectile contacts the target surface, magnetic attraction helps hold the magnetic projectile in place on the target surface of the target platform. In various implementations the shock absorbing material may help to prevent damage from the impact, assist in adhesion of the magnetic projectile to the target surface, and / or reduce noise from the impact.

Description

CROSS-REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATIONS:[0001]The present application claims priority to U.S. Provisional Application No. 62 / 987,159 titled MAGNETIC PROJECTILE GAME SYSTEM, and filed on Mar. 9, 2020, the entirety of which is hereby fully incorporated by reference herein.FIELD OF THE DISCLOSURE:[0002]This disclosure relates generally to game games requiring manual dexterity, and more particularly, games involving tossing or projectiles at targets.OVERVIEW:[0003]Several projectile tossing games have enjoyed continued popularity over the years as games of skill and dexterity. Such games include, for example, beanbags, horseshoes, boche ball, lawn bowling, darts, and more recently corn hole. One particularly popular projectile tossing game known as lawn darts, involved tossing of large darts with metal ends that would stick in the lawn upon landing. The tip of the traditional lawn dart is sufficiently pointed to penetrate the ground upon landing. Players sought to have their lawn darts ...
