Abstract

A multi-game apparatus has a base, a stationary target and multiple foldable targets. Each of the stationary targets and the multiple foldable targets are assembled by multiple detachable rods and respectively have different game surfaces. The game surfaces of the stationary or the multiple foldable targets can be revealed by pivoting the foldable targets. Different game elements like a loop, a dart target . . . etc. are mounted on the game surfaces to make the multi-game apparatus being able to change into different game apparatus, such that individual purchases of different game apparatus are unneeded and the cost may lower.

Claims

1. A multi-game apparatus comprising

a base comprising a top, a front end, a rear end and a soccer goal mounted in the front end of the base;

a stationary target being mounted securely on the top of the base and comprising

a front face; and

a game surface being defined on the front face of the stationary target;

multiple targets being mounted pivotally on the top of the base, each target comprising

two sides;

a front face; and

a game surface being defined on the front face of each target.

2. The multi-game apparatus as claimed in claim 1, wherein the multiple targets includes

a rear target being adjacent to the stationary target;

and

a front target being adjacent to the rear target.

3. The multi-game apparatus as claimed in claim 2 further comprising

at least one first retainer connecting respectively to the stationary target and the rear target to hold the stationary target and the rear target together;

at least one second retainer connecting respectively to the rear target and the front target to hold the rear target and the front target together.

4. The multi-game apparatus as claimed in claim 3, wherein

the rear target further comprises at least one restriction rod being formed on the rear target to abut the base to restrain the rotating angle of the rear target;

the front target further comprises at least one restriction rod being formed on the front target to abut the rear target to restrain the rotating angle of the front target.

5. The multi-game apparatus as claimed in claim 4, wherein

the rear target further comprises

a distal end;

and

a stand being formed on the distal end of the rear target and having two legs perpendicularly protruding separately from the front face of the rear target; and

the front target further comprises

a distal end; and

two foldable legs mounted in the distal end of the front target being separately protruding perpendicularly from the front face, each foldable leg having

a proximal end;

a distal end;

a middle; and

a hinge being mounted in the middle of the foldable leg and allowing the foldable leg to be folded and straighten; and

a clamp being formed on the proximal end of each foldable leg to fasten the distal end of the foldable leg when the foldable leg is folded.

6. The multi-game apparatus as claimed in claim 5, wherein

the game surface of the stationary target comprises

a top;

a middle;

a bottom;

a loop being mounted pivotally on the game surface of the stationary target near the top of the game surface of the stationary target;

a target hole being defined in the middle of the game surface of the stationary target; and

a return hole being defined near the bottom of the game surface of the stationary target;

the game surface of the rear target comprises

a bottom;

multiple through holes and a football goal being separately defined on the game surface; and

a return opening being defined near the bottom of the game surface of the rear target; and

the game surface of the front target has a dart target and a tic-tac-toe target formed on the game surface.

7. The multi-game apparatus as claimed in claim 6, wherein

the stationary target further comprises a rear face and a back holder being attached to the rear face of the stationary target and covering the target hole and the return hole of the stationary target;

and

the rear target further comprises a rear face and a detachable back holder being mounted detachably on the rear face of the rear target and covering the through holes, the football goal and the return opening of the rear target.

8. The multi-game apparatus as claimed in claim 7, wherein

the rear target further comprises a detachable conveyer being mounted detachably on the rear face of the rear target and comprising

two ends, one of the ends of the detachable conveyer connecting to the game surface of the stationary target below the return hole, and the other end of the detachable conveyer connecting to the distal end of the rear target;

and

two side walls;

the front target further comprises a conveyer being mounted on the rear face of the front target and comprising

two ends, one of the ends of the conveyer connecting to the game surface of the rear target below the return opening of the rear target, and the other end of the conveyer connecting to the distal end of the front target; and

two side walls.

9. The multi-game apparatus as claimed in claim 8, wherein the stationary target further comprises two stiffening rods, each stiffening rod having two ends connecting respectively to the base and the stationary target.

10. The multi-game apparatus as claimed in claim 9, wherein

the soccer goal is squared and having

a top;

a front;

a rear; and

a net being attached to the rear of the soccer goal;

a putting carpet is selectively rolled up of the top of the soccer goal; and

a putting target being hanging at the front of the soccer goal and having

a top end being attached to the top of the soccer goal;

a bottom end being connected with the putting carpet; and

multiple holes formed separately in the bottom end of the putting target.

11. The multi-game apparatus as claimed in claim 10, wherein the base further comprises a container being mounted in the rear end of the base and having two cavities, one of the cavities having multiple weighing elements mounted in the cavity.

12. The multi-game apparatus as claimed in claim 11, wherein the stationary target further comprises

two hanging rods being formed oppositely on the top end of the stationary target;

two sticks being formed oppositely on the two sides of the stationary target and being fastened by a fastener of the base; and

two holding nets hung respectively between the hanging rods and the sticks and are straighten by the sticks, each holding net having a top edge attached to the hanging rod and a bottom edge attached to the stick.
