Abstract

A modular rotatable disc-target for competitive games provides an easily dismantling and easily transportable goal that can be reconfigured to increase or decrease the difficulty of a competitive game. The modular rotatable disc-target for competitive game has a goal frame, a first goal post, a second goal post, a base frame, and a locking mechanism. Players playing the competitive game attempt to propel a disc-shaped projectile through the goal frame to win the game. The goal frame is rotatably supported on opposite ends by the first goal post and the second goal post. The base frame prevents the goal frame from being displaced from the desired position on the playing field. Players can choose between different difficulty levels by using the locking mechanism to lock the rotation angle of the goal frame. This makes it more difficult to propel the disc-shaped throwing object past the goal frame.

Claims

exact text as granted — not AI-modified
What is claimed is: 
     
         1 . A modular rotatable disc-target for competitive games comprises:
 a goal frame;   a first goal post;   a second goal post;   a base frame;   a locking mechanism;   the goal frame comprises a rotation axis and a goal passage;   the goal passage being oriented perpendicular to the rotation axis;   the goal frame being rotatably connected to the first goal post;   the goal frame being rotatably connected to the second goal post;   the goal frame being positioned in between the first goal post and the second goal post;   the base frame being terminally mounted to the first goal post, offset the goal frame;   the base frame being terminally mounted to the second goal post, offset the goal frame; and   the locking mechanism being operatively integrated into the rotatable connection between the first goal post and the goal frame, wherein the locking mechanism is used to fix an orientation of the goal frame about the rotation axis.   
     
     
         2 . The modular rotatable disc-target for competitive games as claimed in  claim 1  comprises:
 the goal frame comprises a plurality of members and a plurality of connectors; 
 the plurality of members being arranged into a polygonal configuration; and 
 each of the plurality of members being mounted in between a corresponding pair of connectors from the plurality of connectors. 
 
     
     
         3 . The modular rotatable disc-target for competitive games as claimed in  claim 2 , wherein the polygonal configuration is a hexagonal shape. 
     
     
         4 . The modular rotatable disc-target for competitive games as claimed in  claim 1 , wherein a width of the goal frame is smaller than a width of the base frame. 
     
     
         5 . The modular rotatable disc-target for competitive games as claimed in  claim 1  comprises:
 the first goal post comprises a first insertion socket; 
 the goal frame comprises a first axle; 
 the first axle being concentrically positioned about the rotation axis; and 
 the first axle being rotatably engaged into the first insertion socket. 
 
     
     
         6 . The modular rotatable disc-target for competitive games as claimed in  claim 5  comprises:
 the locking mechanism comprises a threaded hole and a bolt; 
 the threaded hole laterally traversing into the first insertion socket; 
 the bolt being engaged through the threaded hole; and 
 a contact end of the bolt being pressed against the first axle. 
 
     
     
         7 . The modular rotatable disc-target for competitive games as claimed in  claim 1  comprises:
 the second goal post comprises a second insertion socket; 
 the goal frame comprises a second axle; 
 the second axle being concentrically positioned about the rotation axis; and 
 the second axle being rotatably engaged into the second insertion socket. 
 
     
     
         8 . The modular rotatable disc-target for competitive games as claimed in  claim 1  comprises:
 the base frame comprises a first foot, a second foot, and a crossbar; 
 the first foot being positioned adjacent to the first goal post; 
 the first foot being terminally connected to the crossbar; 
 the second foot being positioned adjacent to the second goal post; and 
 the second foot being terminally connected to the crossbar, opposite the first foot. 
 
     
     
         9 . The modular rotatable disc-target for competitive games as claimed in  claim 8  comprises:
 the first foot and the second foot each comprise an elongated body, a first spike, and a second spike; 
 the elongated body being connected perpendicular to the crossbar; 
 the first spike being terminally connected to the elongated body; 
 the second spike being terminally connected to the elongated body, opposite to the first elongated body; 
 the first spike and the second spike being oriented perpendicular to the elongated body; and 
 the first spike and the second spike being oriented perpendicular to the crossbar.
