Abstract

An assembly designed in the sports field to resemble the game of hockey and given the name of BOKEY Designed in two models, #1 played at floor level with a slight elevation for toe space. #2 is raised to table level height for a more comfortable playing position. Equipment consists of a rectangular box divided into 2 or 4 playing fields. 2 for basic model and 4 for the extended model separated by dividers they are designated A-B-C-D fields (FIGS. 5 & 6 ) each side of the apparatus is lettered, one with the letter A and the other with the letter B. Teams are aligned along each side of the apparatus, therefore, we have an A team and a B team. Other noteworthy features are the number of dividers, the standard model has one center divider with pass through and a center slot for the puck for starting the game, additionally, a puck catcher is provided at each goal. The extended model has 2 extra fields and therefore, requires 2 extra dividers with pass through for passing between fields. A goal pass through is located at each end one at field A end, and designated goal A. The opposite end has the same and is designated goal B. Other equipment consists of a paddle for each player and a 3″ plastic puck. (A) Three basic sizes are designated for playing the game; #1 the junior size measures 2 ft×4 ft, the 2nd size measures 4 ft×10 ft, the 3rd size measures 4 ft×20 ft and has 2 more playing field and can accommodate up to 8 players at the same time. It should be noted that the extended version for the big part is intended for use in commercial establishments, large clubs, sports centers, schools, etc. A minimum of 2 players are required to play any of the game boxes.
