Box hockey

Abstract

A floor game similar to hockey played within a rectangular structure including goal holes at opposing ends of the structure and having a plurality of obstacle partitions with various openings inside the perimeter of the structure whereby the object of play must pass when propelled by the hockey stick with the intent of being hit into the goal receptacle. Each component that makes up the rectangular structure is specially designed to be easily disassembled for maximum utility, portability and compactness for ease of storage. The bottom playing surface is detachable. Each component that makes up the side walls and partitions are essentially the same size which is part of the unique design of it's disassembly and storage. The slot/connection design allows for there to be no screws or other hardware necessary for assembly. Each component is made of a durable high impact material to prevent splintering and/or deterioration of apparatus.

It is understood that while certain forms of the present invention have been illustrated and described herein, it is not to be limited to the specific forms or arrangements of parts described and shown. I, Andrew S. Brody, claim as my invention:  
     
         1 .) A rectangular game apparatus played on the floor with sticks and a moveable object of play such as a disc, ball or other object comprising of: 
 (a) side walls and end walls which make the perimeter of the playing structure;    (b) opposing end walls having an opening at the bottom center to serve as the goal opening;    (c) a moveable object such as a ball, or disc;    (d) hockey styled sticks for hitting the object of play    
     
     
         2 .) A game apparatus as defined by  claim 1 , wherein there are a plurality of obstruction devices and obstacles within the perimeter walls.  
     
     
         3 .) A game apparatus as defined by  claim 2 , wherein bottom playing surface is detachable.  
     
     
         4 .) A game apparatus as defined by  claim 3 , wherein the components of the side walls and end walls are such that they are easily disassembled for ease of portability and ease of storage.  
     
     
         5 .) A game apparatus as defined by  claim 4 , wherein said playing sticks are adjustable.  
     
     
         6 .) A game apparatus as defined by  claim 5 , wherein said components are fabricated by injection molding.  
     
     
         7 .) A game apparatus as defined by  claim 6 , wherein components are designed for housing commercial advertising.  
     
     
         8 .) A game apparatus as defined by  claim 7 , wherein all components snap-fit together without the use of hardware such as nuts, bolts, screws, nails, etc.  
     
     
         9 .) A game apparatus as defined by  claim 8 , wherein components of apparatus are made of durable plastics and sticks are made of aluminum.
