Ring toss game

Abstract

A ring toss game that includes a three-ring unitary ring assembly tossed at a set of upstanding pins. The pins are arranged to form an equilateral triangle between their centers and are attached to a base plate. Points are scored by opposing players or teams by encircling a pin with at least one ring of the three-ring unitary ring assembly. The targets are spaced 15-20 feet apart.

What is claimed is: 
     
         1 . A ring toss game comprising:
 at least one three-ring molded unitary hoop assembly, said at least one three-ring molded unitary hoop assembly comprising:
 a plurality of plastic molded annular rings, each ring of said plurality of plastic molded annular rings having a center, and a portion of said ring being integral with an abutting ring to maintain relative positions of said annular rings to each other, said three-ring unitary hoop assembly being arranged in an abutting relationship to each other such that the center of all three rings forms an equilateral triangle; and 
   at least two target assemblies, each target assembly comprising:
 a base member; 
 a plurality of plastic molded upstanding hollow pins projecting upwards having an open bottom end and a closed top end, said open bottom end secured to said base member, each of said plurality of upstanding hollow pins being secured to said base member such that when said three-ring molded unitary hoop assembly is thrown at said upstanding pins a single ring of said three-ring molded unitary hoop assembly can only encircle a single pin of said plurality of upstanding hollow pins. 
   
     
     
         2 . The ring toss game as claimed in  claim 1  wherein said at least one three-ring molded unitary hoop assembly further comprises as least eight three-ring unitary molded hoop assemblies, said eight three-ring unitary molded hoop assemblies being grouped into two sets of four three-ring unitary hoop assemblies, each set being of different colors, each of said three-ring unitary hoop assembly maintaining constant the relative location of each ring. 
     
     
         3 . The ring toss game as claimed in  claim 1  further comprising at least one pin socket integral with said base member, said at least one pin socket having an enlarged recess at the bottom thereof;
 each of said plurality of upstanding hollow pins having an enlarged flange at said open bottom end, said enlarged flange nesting in said enlarged recess at the bottom of said at least one pin socket. 
 
     
     
         4 . The ring toss game as claimed in  claim 1  further comprising at least one pin socket integral with said base member, said at least one pin socket having a threaded internal diameter;
 each of said plurality of upstanding hollow pins have a threaded outer diameter at said bottom end, said threaded outer diameter being screwed into said threaded internal diameter of said at least one pin socket.
