US Patent:

56719256, Sep 30, 1997

Filed:

Sep 11, 1996

Appl. No.:

8/712080

Inventors:

Mark A. Gonzalez - Plano TX

Assignee:

MGwhiz, Inc. - Plano TX

International Classification:

A63B 6510

US Classification:

273424

Abstract:

A substantially planar circular gamepiece with a recess adapted to receive a weight. The weight is advantageously of sufficient mass so that when the weight is placed in the recess of the gamepiece, a finger flick applied to the outer perimeter of the gamepiece is likely to propel the gamepiece across a surface without the gamepiece flipping over. A substantially planar protector is also disclosed, with a hole provided to receive the gamepiece therein for storage when not in use. When the gamepiece is received into the protector, a substantially continuous common planar surface is formed, suitable for imposing collectable and tradeable images thereon by printing or other means.

International Classification:

A63F 900

US Classification:

273317

Abstract:

A substantially planar elliptical gamepiece with one or more indentations provided in the outer perimeter thereof. The position of an indentation is predetermined so that a finger flick, when applied to the indentation, is likely to propel the gamepiece with optimum height, length and accuracy. A substantially planar protector is also disclosed, with a hole provided to receive the gamepiece therein for storage when not in use. When the gamepiece is received into the protector, a substantially continuous common planar surface is formed, suitable for imposing collectable and tradeable images thereon by printing or other means.
