Cup And Ball Assembly

Abstract

A cup and ball assembly includes a mounting bracket that has a door slot thereby facilitating the mounting bracket to be positioned on a door in a building. A support arm is coupled to the mounting bracket and the support arm extends downwardly along the door and away from the door when the mounting bracket is positioned on the door. A ring is coupled to the support arm and the ring lies on a horizontal plane when the mounting bracket is positioned on the door. A stub arm is coupled to support arm and an extension arm insertably receives the stub arm for removably attaching the extending arm on the stub arm. A tether is disposed on the extension arm and a ball is coupled to the tether thereby facilitating the ball to be thrown toward the ring by a user to test the user's aim and skill.

The assembly according to  claim 1 , wherein said mounting bracket has a central section extending between a rear section and a front section, each of said rear section and said front section being perpendicularly oriented with said central section having said rear section and said front section being spaced apart from each other thereby defining said door slot between said rear section and said front section. 
     
     
         3 . The assembly according to  claim 2 , wherein said central section lies on a top edge of the door having each of said rear section and said front section resting against a respective front surface and back surface of the door, said front section having a length being greater than a length of said rear section. 
     
     
         4 . The assembly according to  claim 2 , wherein said support arm has a first end, a second end and an outer surface extending between said first end and said second end, said outer surface having a front side and a back side, said back side being bonded to a forward surface of said front section of said mounting bracket at a connection point located adjacent to said first end of said support arm, said support arm being centrally positioned along a width of said front section of said mounting bracket, said first end being aligned with said central section of said mounting bracket, said first end being angled to slope downwardly from said central section. 
     
     
         5 . The assembly according to  claim 4 , wherein said support arm has a bend being positioned closer to said second end than said first end to define said primary portion of said support arm and said secondary portion of said support arm, said primary portion being associated with said first end, said secondary portion being associated with said second end, said secondary portion lying on a horizontal plane when said mounting bracket is positioned on the door. 
     
     
         6 . The assembly according to  claim 4 , wherein said stub arm is positioned on said front side of said outer surface of said support arm corresponding to said primary portion of said support arm, said stub arm being positioned closer to said first end of said support arm than said bend, said stub arm having a distal end with respect to said support arm. 
     
     
         7 . The assembly according to  claim 5 , wherein said extension arm has a primary end, a secondary end and a lower surface extending between said primary end and said secondary end, said primary end having a well extending toward said secondary end, said well insertably receiving said distal end of said stub arm such that said extension arm angles upwardly from said support arm. 
     
     
         8 . The assembly according to  claim 7 , further comprising an eyehook being coupled to said extension arm, said eyehook being positioned on said lower surface of said extension arm at a point located adjacent to said second end of said extension arm, said eyehook including a ring being spaced from said lower surface. 
     
     
         9 . The assembly according to  claim 8 , wherein:
 said tether has an upper end and a lower end, said upper end being attached to said ring of said eyehook; and   said ball has a ring being attached to an outside surface of said ball, said lower end of said tether being attached to said ring on said outside surface of said ball, said tether having a length being sufficient to facilitate said ball to be suspended at a point located lower than said ring when said mounting bracket is positioned on the door.   
     
     
         10 . A cup and ball assembly for facilitating a game of skill to be played involving tossing a ball in to a cup, said assembly comprising:
 a mounting bracket having a door slot being integrated into said mounting bracket thereby facilitating said mounting bracket to be positioned on a door in a building, said mounting bracket having a central section extending between a rear section and a front section, each of said rear section and said front section being perpendicularly oriented with said central section having said rear section and said front section being spaced apart from each other thereby defining said door slot between said rear section and said front section, said central section lying on a top edge of the door having each of said rear section and said front section resting against a respective front surface and back surface of the door, said front section having a length being greater than a length of said rear section;   a support arm having a primary portion being perpendicularly oriented with a secondary portion, said primary portion being coupled to said mounting bracket such that said primary portion extends downwardly along the door and said secondary portion extends away from the door when said mounting bracket is positioned on the door, said support arm having a first end, a second end and an outer surface extending between said first end and said second end, said outer surface having a front side and a back side, said back side being bonded to a forward surface of said front section of said mounting bracket at a connection point located adjacent to said first end of said support arm, said support arm being centrally positioned along a width of said front section of said mounting bracket, said first end being aligned with said central section of said mounting bracket, said first end being angled to slope downwardly from said central section, said support arm having a bend being positioned closer to said second end than said first end to define said primary portion of said support arm and said secondary portion of said support arm, said primary portion being associated with said first end, said secondary portion being associated with said second end, said secondary portion lying on a horizontal plane when said mounting bracket is positioned on the door;   a ring being coupled to said secondary portion of said support arm, said ring lying on a horizontal plane when said mounting bracket is positioned on the door, said ring having an outside surface, said outside surface being attached to said second end of said support arm;   a stub arm being coupled to and angling away from said support arm, said stub arm being oriented to angle upwardly when said mounting bracket is positioned on the door, said stub arm being positioned on said front side of said outer surface of said support arm corresponding to said primary portion of said support arm, said stub arm being positioned closer to said first end of said support arm than said bend, said stub arm having a distal end with respect to said support arm;   an extension arm insertably receiving said stub arm for removably attaching said extending arm on said stub arm, said extension arm having a primary end, a secondary end and a lower surface extending between said primary end and said secondary end, said primary end having a well extending toward said secondary end, said well insertably receiving said distal end of said stub arm such that said extension arm angles upwardly from said support arm;   an eyehook being coupled to said extension arm, said eyehook being positioned on said lower surface of said extension arm at a point located adjacent to said second end of said extension arm, said eyehook including a ring being spaced from said lower surface;   a tether being coupled to said eyehook, said tether having an upper end and a lower end, said upper end being attached to said ring of said eyehook; and   a ball being coupled to said tether thereby facilitating said ball to be thrown toward said ring by a user such that said ball lands in said ring when said ball is accurately thrown wherein said ball is configured to test the user's aim and skill, said ball having an outside surface, said ball having a ring being attached to said outside surface, said lower end of said tether being attached to said ring on said outside surface of said ball, said tether having a length being sufficient to facilitate said ball to be suspended at a point located lower than said ring when said mounting bracket is positioned on the door.
