Abstract A game, employing a baton and a ring, wherein one end of the baton is held firmly in one hand and the ring is placed over the baton adjacent the outwardly extending end and spun thereon by a rotary movement of the baton. By means of the proper manipulation of the baton, the ring can be launched up into the air and caught on the baton after being permitted to bounce on the floor, sidewalk, etc., or alternatively it may be caught directly out of the air. The normally outwardly extending position of the baton is preferably divided into a plurality of delineated portions having different number values and the ring may likewise be divided into a plurality of sections having different number values or distinctive colors.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 4
Claim 1
Independent Claim
163 words
A game incorporating in combination a ring and a baton in which said baton has a small cross-sectional diameter relative to the inner diameter of said ring, said baton including a hand grip position at one end thereof and an elongated ring engaging position extending axially outwardly from said hand grip position, said elongated ring engaging position including delineation means dividing same in to a plurality of short ajoining ring engaging positions, said ring being constructed of a resilient material and being free of said baton, whereby said ring is readily positioned over said baton in a surrounding relationship to said baton, said ring and baton each having multiple scoring areas, including a plurality of longitudinal ridges spaced about said baton extending the length of said ring engaging portions, and a plurality of axially extending ridges about the inner diameter of said ring for contact with said longitudinal ridges when the ring is being spun on said baton to provide noise tone varieties.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
