| 20140162811 | ARTICLES OF PLAY FOR USE IN THE GAME OF CATCH - Disclosed herein is a game system that includes a receiving mechanism and a ball. The receiving mechanism frictionally retains the ball therein. The friction is caused by pressure that is applied on opposing points of a secant line about a surface of the ball. The frictional retention is effected by pressure applied by the receiving mechanism on at least two opposing points on the surface of the ball and the contact points of the receiving mechanism are distributed along a common secant around the ball. | 06-12-2014 |
| 20140274492 | MAGNETIC JUGGLING APPARATUS - At least one embodiment of the invention describes a magnetic juggling apparatus that includes at least a first juggling structure and a second juggling structure, wherein each juggling structure has a front face, a back face, four or more non-magnetic sides, four or more rounded corners between each of the four or more non-magnetic sides respectively, a hollow opening and four or more magnetic sources of an even number. The magnetic juggling apparatus allows a user to manipulate the first juggling structure or the second juggling structure, or the first juggling structure and the second juggling structure simultaneously to re-arrange a first magnetic pattern or a second magnetic pattern through acceptance of at least one action from the group consisting of a rotational action, a pushing action, a pulling action and a sliding action. | 09-18-2014 |

| 20090203475 | RACKET AND PROJECTILE GAME - A game includes a pair of rackets for propelling and catching a projectile. Each racket includes a rim for supporting a net between its inner periphery and one of a hook and a loop on an outer periphery. The projectile includes a generally circular member and an elastic band. The band carries the other of the hook and loop which cooperates with the racket for propelling the projectile. The racket may be positioned to catch the propelled projectile in the net. | 08-13-2009 |
| 20130165278 | SPORTS APPARATUS - A sports apparatus for throwing and catching a projectile, comprising a frame having a handle, catching means arranged on the frame, and throwing means arranged on the frame. The throwing means comprises a gripping component that is arranged to partially surround and releasably grip and retain a projectile therein, and a retained projectile may be released from the throwing means upon acceleration of the frame. | 06-27-2013 |

| 20080293523 | DISC LAUNCHING AND CATCHING DEVICE - A device for use in launching and catching flying discs includes a frame having a handle section and an open forked section. The opened forked section includes a pair of opposing forks wherein each fork has a distal end and a proximal end with the distal end being free and the proximal end adjoining the proximal end of the opposing fork. Flexible material such as nylon netting is strung between the opposing forks in a manner which enables the formation of a relatively deep elongated channel having an open end so that a forceful swing of the device will cause a flying disc placed in the channel to roll in the channel and out through the open end of the channel at a high rate of speed. A method of using the device to launch a flying disc as well as a novel flying disc are also disclosed. | 11-27-2008 |
| 20110053714 | Ball toss and catch device - A ball toss and catch Device is disclosed that includes a fingerless glove, two donut-like plastic rings, and a ball. Device is used by the player to toss up a ball and catch it consecutively in an alternative pattern while skillfully avoiding the dropping of the ball. The disclosed Device is further used in a method of play or sport either solo or competively or against another player, or groups of players such as teams or leagues. | 03-03-2011 |
| 20110130229 | SPORTS ACTIVITY DEVICE - A sports activity device playable, for example, as a device for launching and catching objects and as a tossable flying disc. Embodiments of the sports activity device includes an outer annular ring member and an inner annular ring assembly detachably engaged to the outer annular ring member. The inner annular ring assembly may include an inner annular ring member and an engagement assembly configured and operable to facilitate detachable engagement of the inner annular ring assembly with the outer annular ring member. | 06-02-2011 |
| 20110263359 | TRAPEZIUM-SHAPED FRONTAL LAUNCHER - A device for manually sending and receiving an object such as a ball in the context of a sporting or leisure activity. This launcher is made up of two separate rigid parts (e.g. in the form of sticks) and a flexible trapezium-shaped surface by way of a sending and receiving zone. The object is received by holding the handles sufficiently close together to form a pocket to absorb the impact of the object striking the flexible surface. The object is sent by suddenly drawing the hands apart to the maximum distance permitted by the width of the flexible surface, using their natural fan-like parting movement. It is the tension created by the stretching of this surface which ejects the object and sends it very long distances with only the hands for motive force. | 10-27-2011 |
| 20150321108 | Tossing game system with hand puppets and ball - A tossing game system includes hand puppets and a ball whose outer surface is covered in loop type material. A tennis or similar type ball is covered with loop type material. Once tossed, the ball is caught in the mouth of a hand puppet, which is worn on the player's arm and makes a sound effect when the ball is caught. The hand puppet preferably takes the form of an animal, cartoon character, or similarly popular figure and produces a corresponding sound effect. The mouth of the hand puppet contains a contact patch of hook type material. The ball is then thrown with the player's uncovered hand, and caught in the mouth of a similar hand puppet worn by another player. The hook and loop type closures on the surface of the ball and hand puppet will enable small children to easily catch the ball. | 11-12-2015 |
