Abstract

A portable system for setting up swinging target games featuring an anchored tossable object, such as a hook or a ring, and a target for receiving the tossable object. The entire assembly is designed to break down and collapse into a compact arrangement for easy transport. It should be storable in a bag or box. The system includes a central bracket which connects three telescoping or collapsible tripod legs for standing the bracket at a location. The bracket includes a connection for a telescoping arm to radiate up and away from the bracket and legs to a terminal point a distance away from the bracket. A target can be mounted to the bracket and a string can be anchored to the terminal point of the telescoping arm. The tossable object is hung from the string and can be tossed towards the target.

Claims (69)
