An amusement device for forcibly propelling a coherent water jet from a body of water such as a swimming pool utilizing a housing having a generally tapering open passage from one end to the other, with the larger end of the passage being open and essentially unobstructed for admitting water freely into the passage when the larger end is at least partially submerged in the body of water, the smaller end of the passage being formed to provide an open but constricted nozzle whereby quantities of water forced into the passage through the larger end are accelerated and ejected forcibly through the nozzle to form a substantially coherent water jet capable of traversing significant distance before breaking up, control and actuation of the device being provided for by handles on opposite sides of the housing adjacent to the larger open end. A modified form of the invention mounts a pair of conical housings in side-by-side relation for joint action. |

GARLAND CHARLES |
A driving range for golf or other games employing aerial projectile in which an open mesh net is waterborne, anchored in position, and extends from the shoreline and out the required distance on the water to form a driving range. The installation additionally includes a multiplicity of balls, or other projectiles, and a recovery unit that recovers the balls that fall through the net and into a funnel-shaped portion thereof and conducts the balls back to the land based portion of the driving range. The recovery unit includes a submerged ball return conduit connected to the funnel shaped portion. Spaced valves in the conduit form a compartment which may evacuated by air pressure. Golf balls roll down the conduit by gravity to a recovery chamber and are lifted to a land-based station by a conveyor.

NEWMAN JOSEPH W |
A device for recreational use in the manner of a seesaw in a body of water, including a buoyant chamber and a frame attached to the chamber. The chamber and frame are rotatable about an axis extending through the chamber and substantially perpendicular to the longitudinal axis of the frame to provide a seesaw action. The frame includes a pair of seats on opposite sides of the chamber for accommodating a pair of users thereon. To control the maximum amount of seesaw action that can be achieved with the device, the buoyancy of the chamber can be varied, as can the distance between each of the users and the axis of rotation.

A hollow frustoconical shell whose sides merge on a radius of curvature into a flanged annular base and adapted for use above ground or partially submerged in water. The wall of the shell is provided with a downwardly opening entrance to provide a user with access to the interior of the shell and to a vertically disposed ladder terminating at the opening provided by the frustum of the shell. Upon reaching the top of the ladder a user makes his exit through the open frustum into a position for sliding down the wall of the shell somewhat in the manner enjoyed by users of pool-side slide apparatus for quick descent into the water.

The stationary water game features two hollow, toroidal members made from durable, abrasion resistant latex fabric, the toroidal member being adjoined by a unique anchor system. The toroidal members are anchored with rubber handles or consistent materials underneath the surface, which is unique in its design, that attach by adjustable bungee cords, plastic or metal clasps, to weights either comprising of hand twisting steel corkscrew anchors or custom sandbags that serve as weights. The bungee cord connectors with clasp serves as the connecting device between the toroidal member rubber handle or consistent material and the anchor below the water surface. The anchor system is designed to hold the toroidal members stationary to provide a target for the game, by tossing rubber balls, that float, at the target with the concept of hitting or making them into the hollow middle. The unique scoring system allows for multiple players up to four participants to play against each other to score points. |

A set of diving devices and methods of using the same in, for example, a water-based game, are provided. The devices comprise two or more diving devices, each being configured to be tossed into a body of water and upon entry to cause a water entry noise that is distinct from water entry noises corresponding to each of the other diving devices in the set of diving devices. The distinctness of the water entry noise for each device in the set is due at least in part to at least one of a size of each of the diving devices, a shape of each of the diving devices, a density of each of the diving device, and/or a weight of each of the diving devices. The methods involve users attempting to retrieve devices based upon distinct water entry noises and/or emitted audio signals, with points being awarded thereupon. |

An apparatus for shape and color matching retrieval games to be played in a body of water, such as a swimming pool, includes base stations, cover panels, and retrieval objects that players retrieve from the body of water during play of the game. The base provides a support to which cover panels can be removably affixed. The base and the cover panels each have on their top surfaces a series of position markers in the nature of slots formed in various geometric shapes. Each base and cover panel has a subset of retrieval objects matched in shape and/or color to its respective position markers. A method is provided for playing different versions of retrieval games using the base and the cover panels. |

A ball game device and system includes a ball-rebounding body having a frame within which a resilient surface is suspended. The frame is configured to be immovable for optimizing ball rebound. In this way, the body can be used on virtually any surface and the game played in virtually any environment. Preferably, the frame would have a base and a rebound surface-supporting structure. The resilient rebound surface is continuous and is configured to be variably tilted. The resilient surface is conical such that ball rebound and trajectory is rendered unpredictable, or predictable depending on where the ball strikes the resilient surface and/or a centrally disposed positioned within the rebound surface. In the preferred embodiment, defense boundaries offensive lines and other features are included to provide a wide variety of game formats. Notably the centrally disposed surface provides a spot that the thrower can aim at to maximize ball rebound. |
