Abstract

The spinner balls lawn game is a game that includes a plurality of stringed ball assemblies and a frame including a series of rotatable arms located thereon. The stringed ball assemblies each consist of two balls each secured to an end of a string, and a middle ball having a hole bored there through and of which said string is threaded thereon such that the middle ball can traverse back and forth along said string and in between the two balls located at each end. The frame supports the rotatable arm across a central arm such that the rotatable arms rotate along a horizontal axis. The rotatable arms and the central arm are each color-coded and upon landing a stringed ball assembly shall award a point designated by the rules of the game. The stringed ball assemblies can impact or land upon the rotatable arms, which may cause the rotatable arms to rotate about the horizontal axis via bearings affixed between the rotatable arms and the central arm.

Claims

1. A spinner balls lawn game comprising:

two targets separated by at least forty feet;

wherein each target is further defined by a rotating scoring assembly that rotates about a central arm, and wherein said central arm is affixed to a frame having a lower arm;

at least one stringed ball assembly is provided and are individually thrown by a player trying to loop said stringed ball assembly onto either the rotating scoring assembly, the central arm, or the lower arm;

wherein the stringed ball assembly is further defined as a string that has a ball secured at each end, and a middle ball that has a hole cored through;

wherein the middle ball can traverse a length of the string.

2. The spinner balls lawn game as described in claim 1 wherein the rotating scoring assembly includes a plurality of rotatable arms that extend outwardly from an intersection via risers.

3. The spinner balls lawn game as described in claim 2 wherein the rotating scoring assembly includes four rotatable arms that form an “

X”

at the intersection.

4. The spinner balls lawn game as described in claim 3 wherein the rotating scoring assembly rotates about the central arm via bearings.

5. The spinner balls lawn game as described in claim 1 wherein the rotating scoring assembly rotates about the central arm along a horizontal axis.

6. The spinner balls lawn game as described in claim 1 wherein the frame includes a base to support the frame vertically as well as to stabilize the central arm.

7. The spinner balls lawn game as described in claim 1 wherein the rotatable arms each include a color that corresponds to a team or player.

8. A spinner balls lawn game comprising:

two targets separated by at least forty feet;

wherein each target is further defined by a rotating scoring assembly that rotates about a central arm, and wherein said central arm is affixed to a frame having a lower arm;

at least one stringed ball assembly is provided and are individually thrown by a player trying to loop said stringed ball assembly onto either the rotating scoring assembly, the central arm, or the lower arm;

wherein the rotating scoring assembly includes a plurality of rotatable arms that extend outwardly from an intersection via risers;

wherein the stringed ball assembly is further defined as a string that has a ball secured at each end, and a middle ball that has a hole cored through;

wherein the middle ball can traverse a length of the string.

9. The spinner balls lawn game as described in claim 8 wherein the rotating scoring assembly/includes four rotatable arms that form an “

X”

at the intersection.

10. The spinner balls lawn game as described in claim 9 wherein the rotating scoring assembly rotates about the central arm via bearings.

11. The spinner balls lawn game as described in claim 8 wherein the rotating scoring assembly rotates about the central arm along a horizontal axis.

12. The spinner balls lawn game as described in claim 8 wherein the frame includes a base to support the frame vertically as well as to stabilize the central arm.

13. The spinner balls lawn game as described in claim 8 wherein the rotatable arms each include a color that corresponds to a team or player.
