Adapter For A Bag Tossing Game

Abstract

Disclosed is an adaptor for a tossing game configured to be disposed on a supporting structure. The adaptor includes an impact surface toward which projectiles may be thrown, the impact surface comprising a plurality of raised portions having sloped surfaces on one or more sides of a respective peak thereof. A target aperture is configured to extend through the adaptor. A lip extends over an uppermost surface of the supporting structure, the lip being located at a first portion of the adaptor, the first portion being elevated over a second portion of the adaptor that is in proximity to the supporting structure. One or more fasteners secures the adaptor to a generally flat surface of the supporting structure.

What is claimed is: 
     
         1 . An adaptor for a tossing game configured to be disposed on a supporting structure, the adaptor comprising:
 a non-uniform impact surface toward which projectiles may be thrown, the impact surface comprising one or more features to vary a topography of the impact surface;   a target aperture configured to extend through the adaptor; and   one or more fasteners for securing the adaptor to a generally flat surface of the supporting structure.   
     
     
         2 . The adaptor as defined in  claim 1 , wherein the one or more features comprises a raised portion with a sloped surface on one or more sides of a peak thereof. 
     
     
         3 . The adaptor as defined in  claim 2 , wherein the raised portion extends laterally across the impact surface. 
     
     
         4 . The adaptor as defined in  claim 2 , further comprising a mating surface opposite the impact surface, wherein the raised portion is a first raised portion with a first height measured from the mating surface, the adaptor further comprising a second raised portion with a second height measured from the mating surface. 
     
     
         5 . The adaptor as defined in  claim 4 , wherein the first raised portion is located below a horizontal centerline of the impact surface. 
     
     
         6 . The adaptor as defined in  claim 4 , wherein the second raised portion is located above a horizontal centerline of the impact surface. 
     
     
         7 . The adaptor as defined in  claim 2 , wherein the raised portion has a horizontal length less than a width of the impact surface. 
     
     
         8 . The adaptor as defined in  claim 2 , wherein the raised portion has a horizontal length less than half of a width of the impact surface. 
     
     
         9 . The adaptor as defined in  claim 1 , wherein the supporting structure comprises an inclined plane having a void configured to align with the aperture when the adaptor is disposed on the supporting structure. 
     
     
         10 . The adaptor as defined in  claim 1 , wherein the one or more fasteners comprises an lip to extend over a uppermost surface of the supporting structure, the lip being located at a first portion of the adaptor, the first portion being elevated over a second portion of the adaptor that is in proximity to the supporting structure. 
     
     
         11 . An adaptor for a tossing game configured to be disposed on a supporting structure, the adaptor comprising:
 an impact surface toward which projectiles may be thrown, the impact surface comprising one or more raised portions having a sloped surface on one or more sides of a peak thereof;   a target aperture configured to extend through the adaptor; and   one or more fasteners for securing the adaptor to a generally flat surface of the supporting structure.   
     
     
         12 . The adaptor as defined in  claim 11 , wherein the one or more fasteners comprising material suitable to secure the adaptor to the supporting surface, the material comprising one or more of a plastic, metal, synthetic or natural fabric. 
     
     
         13 . The adaptor as defined in  claim 11 , further comprising a mating surface opposite the impact surface, the mating surface configured to mate with the inclined plane of the supporting structure. 
     
     
         14 . The adaptor as defined in  claim 11 , further comprising one or more lateral sides extending the length of the adaptor, the one or more lateral sides configured to receive one or more fasteners to provide stability and tension for the one or more fasteners. 
     
     
         15 . The adaptor as defined in  claim 11 , further comprising a plurality of ribs configured to reinforce the adaptor, the ribs extending across a length or a width of the adaptor. 
     
     
         16 . The adaptor as defined in  claim 11 , further comprising a cylindrical ring configured to fit into the aperture and extend toward the supporting surface. 
     
     
         17 . The adaptor as defined in  claim 11 , wherein the supporting surface is a wooden bags game board. 
     
     
         18 . The adaptor as defined in  claim 11 , wherein the adapter comprises a first portion and a second portion separated by a centerline, wherein a hinge is secured to the first portion and to the second portion to allow the adapter to fold along the centerline. 
     
     
         19 . The adaptor as defined in  claim 11 , wherein the one or more fasteners comprising one or more of a screw, a clip, a spring tensioner, a rivet, a bolt, a press fit connector, a nail, a hook, a buckle, a cord, a rope, a Velcro attachment, snaps, a pin, or any combination thereof. 
     
     
         20 . An adaptor for a tossing game configured to be disposed on a supporting structure, the adaptor comprising:
 an impact surface toward which projectiles may be thrown, the impact surface comprising a plurality of raised portions having sloped surfaces on one or more sides of a respective peak thereof;   a target aperture configured to extend through the adaptor;   a lip to extend over a uppermost surface of the supporting structure, the lip being located at a first portion of the adaptor, the first portion being elevated over a second portion of the adaptor that is in proximity to the supporting structure; and   one or more fasteners for securing the adaptor to a generally flat surface of the supporting structure.
