Beanbag target game

Abstract

A beanbag target game has a game board having at least two opposing bars defining an aperture between them and at least one beanbag. The beanbag is sized to be effectively no wider than the width of the slots on the target board so that when the beanbag contacts the wings of two opposing bars, both wings flex inward while exerting a capturing force on the beanbag in between the two bars.

1 . A beanbag target game comprising:
 a. a game board having at least two opposing bars defining an aperture between them; and   b. at least one beanbag adapted to be captured in said aperture.   
     
     
         2 . The beanbag target game of  claim 1  wherein said bars comprise a bar tip and at least one wing, and wherein targets slot are defined between adjacent bar tips. 
     
     
         3 . The beanbag target game of  claim 2  wherein said wings comprise a flat portion extending from a first end downwardly from said bar tip, and a curved portion at a second end of said flat portion, said curved portion terminating in a wing tip. 
     
     
         4 . The beanbag target game of  claim 3  wherein said wings are elastically deformable. 
     
     
         5 . The beanbag target game of  claim 4  wherein each bar further comprises a bar vertical support extending downwardly from said bar tip, and wherein each wing elastically deforms toward said vertical support when a beanbag is received in said aperture. 
     
     
         6 . The beanbag target game of  claim 5  wherein said target slots are approximately 70 mm in width and said aperture is approximately 20.5 mm in width. 
     
     
         7 . A beanbag target game comprising:
 a. a game board having at least two opposing bars defining an aperture between them; and   b. at least one beanbag adapted to be captured in said aperture, wherein said beanbag has fill with a density of approximately 0.55 g to 0.80 g per cubic cm, a head space of approximately of 12.7 mm to 50.8 mm, and a bead size of approximately 2 mm in diameter and approximately 3 mm to 8 mm in length.   
     
     
         8 . The beanbag target game of  claim 7  wherein said bars comprise a bar tip and at least one wing, and wherein targets slot are defined between adjacent bar tips. 
     
     
         9 . The beanbag target game of  claim 8  wherein said wings are elastically deformable. 
     
     
         10 . The beanbag target game of  claim 9  wherein said wings comprise a flat portion extending from a first end downwardly from said bar tip, and a curved portion at a second end of said flat portion, said curved portion terminating in a wing tip. 
     
     
         11 . The beanbag target game of  claim 10  wherein each bar further comprises a bar vertical support extending downwardly from said bar tip, and wherein each wing elastically deforms toward said vertical support when a beanbag is received in said aperture. 
     
     
         12 . The beanbag target game of  claim 11  wherein said target slots are approximately 70 mm in width and said aperture is approximately 20.5 mm in width. 
     
     
         13 . A beanbag target game comprising:
 a. a game board having at least two opposing bars defining an aperture between them; and   b. at least one beanbag adapted to be captured in said aperture, wherein said beanbag has a width of between approximately 90% and 110% of the width said aperture.   
     
     
         14 . The beanbag target game of  claim 13  wherein said beanbag has fill with a density of approximately 0.55 g to 0.80 g per cubic cm, a head space of approximately of 12.7 mm to 50.8mm, and a bead size of approximately 2 mm in diameter and approximately 3 mm to 8 mm in length. 
     
     
         15 . The beanbag target game of  claim 14  wherein said bars comprise a bar tip and at least one wing, and wherein target slots are defined between adjacent bar tips. 
     
     
         16 . The beanbag target game of  claim 15  wherein said wings comprise a flat portion extending from a first end downwardly from said bar tip, and a curved portion at a second end of said flat portion, said curved portion terminating in a wing tip. 
     
     
         17 . The beanbag target game of  claim 16  wherein said wings are elastically deformable. 
     
     
         18 . The beanbag target game of  claim 17  wherein each bar further comprises a bar vertical support extending downwardly from said bar tip, and wherein each wing elastically deforms toward said vertical support when a beanbag is received in said aperture. 
     
     
         19 . The beanbag target game of  claim 18  wherein said target slots are approximately 70 mm in width and said aperture is approximately 20.5 mm in width. 
     
     
         20 . The beanbag target game of  claim 19  wherein said curved portion has a radius of approximately 20 mm.
