Throwing game target
View Patent ↗A throwing game target having a back plate and multiple blades extending outwardly from the back plate. The blades may be comprised of horizontal and vertical blades. In such embodiments, the blades may be arranged in multiple groupings of three blades with at least one horizontal blade and one vertical blade.
1. A throwing game target comprising:
a back plate;
multiple blades extending outwardly from said back plate, the blades comprising horizontal and vertical blades, wherein:
said blades are arranged in multiple groupings of three blades with at least one horizontal blade and one vertical blade;
each of said blades has a straight side portion and two opposing rounded end portions, each rounded end portion comprising an arc and having a tip; and each of said blades has a center point and an arc center for each of said rounded end portions; and
wherein said vertical blades are positioned so that a line formed by said center points and said arc centers runs through a center of an adjacent horizontal blade.
2. The throwing game target of claim 1 wherein said blades have a proximal end adjacent to said back plate and a distal end opposite said proximal end, each of said proximal end and said distal end having a length parallel to said back plate, wherein said length of said proximal end is longer than said length of said distal end.
3. A throwing game target comprising:
a back plate;
multiple blades extending outwardly from said back plate, the blades comprising horizontal and vertical blades, wherein:
said blades are arranged in multiple groupings of three blades with at least one horizontal blade and one vertical blade;
each of said blades has a straight side portion and two opposing rounded end portions, each rounded end portion comprising an arc and having a tip; and each of said blades has a center point and an arc center for each of said rounded end portions;
said vertical blades are positioned so that a line formed by said center points and said arc centers runs through a center of an adjacent horizontal blade;
pairs of adjacent horizontal blades are positioned such that a tip of first horizontal blade is aligned vertically with the a tip of a second horizontal blade; and
said blades are arranged so that the arc centers of a first vertical blade align horizontally with a center point of a space between adjoining blade pairs.
4. The throwing game target of claim 3 wherein said blades have a proximal end adjacent to said back plate and a distal end opposite said proximal end, each of said proximal end and said distal end having a length parallel to said back plate, wherein said length of said proximal end is longer than said length of said distal end.
