Abstract

An improved tether ball game includes a flexible and bendable pole, a foam ball attached to a top part of the pole by way of a cord and a bottom of the pole is connected to a base to supporting the pole in an upward manner. A water conduit is provided with the pole to provide a spray therefrom.

Claims

exact text as granted — not AI-modified
What is claimed is: 
     
         1 . An improved tether ball game, which includes:
 a flexible and bendable pole;   a foam ball attached to a top part of said pole by way of a cord; and   a bottom of said pole is connected to a base to supporting the pole in an upward manner.   
     
     
         2 . The tether ball game of  claim 1 , wherein said foam ball is made of a polyfoam material having an axial opening extending therethrough with a cylindrical shaft extending through said axial opening and which receives the cord therethrough. 
     
     
         3 . The tether ball game of  claim 1 , wherein said pole is made of poly vinyl chloride (PVC). 
     
     
         4 . The tether ball game of  claim 1 , wherein said pole has a diameter and thickness predetermined in connection with a weight and size of said ball so that it flexes and bends as said ball is forcibly orbiting about said pole exerting a force on a top of said pole. 
     
     
         5 . The tether ball game of  claim 1 , wherein said base includes a sleeve fixed in a ground surface. 
     
     
         6 . The tether ball game of  claim 1 , wherein said base is a housing containing a fluid material. 
     
     
         7 . The tether ball game of  claim 1 , wherein said ball is characterized by its fabrication of a single piece of seamless resilient material, said cord is attached to said ball by means of a stop. 
     
     
         8 . The tether ball game of  claim 7 , wherein said stop includes a flanged insert. 
     
     
         9 . The tether ball game of  claim 6 , which includes a hose communicably connected to said base to feed water into said pole. 
     
     
         10 . The tether ball game of  claim 6 , wherein said pole is formed with a plurality of holes which provide for water streams to be formed when water is passed under pressure up said pole. 
     
     
         11 . The tether ball game of  claim 10 , wherein a top end of said pole is closed. 
     
     
         12 . The tether ball game of  claim 1 , wherein pole is configured to receive water therethrough and includes an upper opening through which water is emitted. 
     
     
         13 . The tether ball game of  claim 12 , which includes a spray nozzle operable disposed adjacent said upper opening to receive water therethrough. 
     
     
         14 . An improved tether ball game, which includes:
 a pole having at least one upper opening and configured to receive water therethrough and includes an upper opening through which water is emitted;   a foam ball attached to a top part of said pole by way of a cord; and   a bottom of said pole is connected to a base to supporting the pole in an upward manner.   
     
     
         15 . The tether ball game of  claim 14 , wherein said foam ball is made of a polyfoam material having an axial opening extending therethrough with a cylindrical shaft extending through said axial opening and which receives the cord therethrough. 
     
     
         16 . The tether ball game of  claim 14 , wherein said pole is made of bendable poly vinyl chloride (PVC). 
     
     
         17 . The tether ball game of  claim 14 , wherein said pole has a diameter and thickness predetermined in connection with a weight and size of said ball so that it flexes and bends as said ball is forcibly orbiting about said pole exerting a force on a top of said pole. 
     
     
         18 . The tether ball game of  claim 1 , wherein said base is a housing contains a weighting filler material. 
     
     
         19 . The tether ball game of  claim 1 , wherein said ball is characterized by its fabrication of a single piece of seamless resilient material, said cord is attached to said ball by means of a stop. 
     
     
         20 . The tether ball game of  claim 14 , which includes a hose communicably connected to said pole to feed water therethrough.
