Floating toy with integral catch system

Abstract

Inflatable toys and related methods are generally described. In some embodiments, an inflatable toy may be multifunctional, allowing a user to use the toy for multiple activities or games. In some embodiments, the toy may include a removable body, which may be removed from the toy to allow the user to switch between various games. In some embodiments, the removable body may include one or more projections which may receive one or more rings for a game of ring toss. In some embodiments, the toy may include a depression in which it may receive one or more projectiles for a game of cornhole. The inflatable toy may be used while floating on water or placed on solid land.

What is claimed is: 
     
         1 . An inflatable toy comprising:
 a primary body comprising one or more projections;   a secondary body comprising at least one depression, wherein the primary body is configured to have a portion removably positioned within the at least one depression of the secondary body;   a first plurality of throwable structures configured to be positioned around the one or more projections; and   a second plurality of throwable structures configured to be positioned within the at least one depression.   
     
     
         2 . The toy of  claim 1 , wherein the secondary body further comprises at least one grommet configured to stabilize the toy. 
     
     
         3 . The toy of  claim 1 , wherein at least a portion of the projections extend substantially normal to the secondary body. 
     
     
         4 . The toy of  claim 1 , wherein at least a portion of the primary body extends substantially normal to the secondary body when the portion is positioned within the at least one depression. 
     
     
         5 . The toy of  claim 1 , wherein the first plurality of throwable structures are ring-shaped. 
     
     
         6 . The toy of  claim 1 , wherein the secondary body is configured to float on water. 
     
     
         7 . The toy of  claim 1 , wherein the primary body resembles a cactus. 
     
     
         8 . A method of operating a toy, the method comprising:
 inflating a primary body with a fluid;   inflating a secondary body with the fluid;   removably positioning a portion of the primary body into a depression of the secondary body; and   positioning at least one of a first structure around at least one projection extending from the primary body.   
     
     
         9 . The method of  claim 8 , further comprising removing the primary body from the depression of the secondary body. 
     
     
         10 . The method of  claim 9 , further comprising positioning at least one of a second structure within the depression of the secondary body. 
     
     
         11 . The method of  claim 8 , wherein the first structure is ring-shaped. 
     
     
         12 . The method of  claim 8 , further connecting one or more cords to at least one grommet formed in the secondary body to stabilize the toy. 
     
     
         13 . The method of  claim 8 , wherein at least a portion of the at least one projection extends substantially normal to the secondary body. 
     
     
         14 . The method of  claim 8 , wherein at least a portion of the primary body extends substantially normal to the secondary body. 
     
     
         15 . The method of  claim 8 , further comprising floating the secondary body on water. 
     
     
         16 . The method of  claim 8 , wherein the primary body resembles a cactus.
