Claim 1
Independent Claim
195 words
A rebounding aerial projectile game wherein a projectile is to be launched towards a goal comprising: a playing surface; goal means located generally near the center of the playing surface; a plurality of groups of marked indicia bearing location on said playing surface and around said goal means, each group of locations including a plurality of marked locations in a predetermined relation to one another; a plurality of rebound elements each having a generally upwardly facing flat impact surface adapted to be impacted by a projectile moving in one direction so as to rebound the projectile generally upwardly therefrom in another direction, said rebound elements being selectively positionable on any of a preselected combination of marked locations within each group for permitting the impact surfaces to be orientated relative to one another so that the projectile may impact the rebound elements in a predetermined order defining a path of travel through the air to the goal means whereby each combination represents a path of travel of a different degree of difficulty; and scoring means having indicia thereon corresponding to the indicia on said marked locations indicating particular scores for said preselected combinations of marked locations.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
195 words
A rebounding aerial projectile game wherein a projectile is to be launched towards a goal comprising: a playing surface; goal means located generally near the center of the playing surface; a plurality of groups of marked indicia bearing location on said playing surface and around said goal means, each group of locations including a plurality of marked locations in a predetermined relation to one another; a plurality of rebound elements each having a generally upwardly facing flat impact surface adapted to be impacted by a projectile moving in one direction so as to rebound the projectile generally upwardly therefrom in another direction, said rebound elements being selectively positionable on any of a preselected combination of marked locations within each group for permitting the impact surfaces to be orientated relative to one another so that the projectile may impact the rebound elements in a predetermined order defining a path of travel through the air to the goal means whereby each combination represents a path of travel of a different degree of difficulty; and scoring means having indicia thereon corresponding to the indicia on said marked locations indicating particular scores for said preselected combinations of marked locations.

Claim 10
Dependent Claim
169 words
A rebounding aerial projectile game wherein a projectile is to be launched towards a goal comprising: a substantially flat playing surface having a group of marked indicia bearing locations in a predetermined relation to one another; goal means; a plurality of rebound elements each having a generally upwardly facing fixed flat impact surface adapted to be impacted by a projectile moving in one direction so as to rebound the projectile generally upwardly therefrom in another direction, said rebound elements being selectively positionable on any of preselected combinations of marked locations on the playing surface for permitting the impact surfaces to be orientated relative to one another so that the projectile may impact the rebound elements in a predetermined order defining a path of travel through the air to the goal means whereby each combination represents a path of travel of a different degree of difficulty; and scoring means having indicia thereon corresponding to the indicia on said marked locations indicating particular scores for said preselected combinations of marked locations.
Claim 11
Dependent Claim
169 words
A rebounding aerial projectile game wherein a projectile is to be launched towards a goal comprising: a substantially flat playing surface having a group of marked indicia bearing locations in a predetermined relation to one another; goal means; a plurality of rebound elements each having a generally upwardly facing fixed flat impact surface adapted to be impacted by a projectile moving in one direction so as to rebound the projectile generally upwardly therefrom in another direction, said rebound elements being selectively positionable on any of preselected combinations of marked locations on the playing surface for permitting the impact surfaces to be orientated relative to one another so that the projectile may impact the rebound elements in a predetermined order defining a path of travel through the air to the goal means whereby each combination represents a path of travel of a different degree of difficulty; and scoring means having indicia thereon corresponding to the indicia on said marked locations indicating particular scores for said preselected combinations of marked locations.
