Amusement system

摘要

A tethered ring like amusement system where a washer like member is flexibly supported from a first rod vertically extending from a base member. The washer or annular disk is swung to a second vertically extending rod member having secured thereon a number of hook elements. The object of the amusement system is to releasably capture the annular disk on one of the hook members. The hook members extending from the second rod member are mounted in differing planes and at differing vertical heights above the base member. The tethered ring like game further includes a second target rod mounted to the base member and inclined with respect thereto. The second target rod serves a dual purpose of being both a target area such that the annular disk may be impaled thereon as well as providing a blocking element such that at least one of the hook members mounted on the second rod member cannot directly cause impalation of the annular disk. Releasable capturing of the annular disk on either the second target rod member or on the hook members mounted on the second rod necessitate differing skill difficulties for the operator. In an embodiment of the tethered ring like game, a plurality of second target rod members are mounted on the base member to restrict the displacement path of the annular disk and further increase the skill necessary for releasable capturing of the annular disk in one of the target areas.
