1. The game of horseshoe-pitching has a landing-pit and a stake in the middle of the pit. This pit can be clay, dirt or sand on the earth or portable when mounted on a flat surface such as a wooden board. If the stake is removed from the pit, the stake can get lost or be used as a weapon, so permanently mounting the sake prevents this. However, permanently mounted stakes can cause accidents and are difficult when storing portable pits. This invention connects the stake to the landing-pit by a cable. The stake is attached to the pit in a threaded socket. The socket and cable are permanently connected to the pit. The stake can be screwed into the socket when in use or unscrewed when not in use. This invention contains a mechanism within the stake, so the cable does not twist when the stake is screwed or unscrewed. The cable does not twist; thereby not interfering with the screwing action. |
