Abstract
An improvement on a bean-bag game-board that allows the user to fold up the game boards into a case and easily carry them around with the bean bags inside. The popular game is known by names like “bag toss”, “bags”, “tailgate toss” or “cornhole”. The present invention is a light-weight, easy to use and carry version of the original game that takes up minimal space when consolidated for storage. Lightweight construction allows one game board to fit within the other while forming a case for game bags. A handle for carrying that also acts as a hinge-free and locking fastener for easy assembly when game set is packed for carrying or storage. Folding legs allow the boards to fit together in a small space and have an offset pivot point that provides the strength of having three points of contact when in the open position.

- This invention refers to a game that has many different names and rule variations. It is called bean bag toss, bags, tailgate toss and more specifically cornhole. The game of cornhole is so called because of the target of a 6″ diameter hole in a slanted board target and the corn filled bags that are used to project to this target. It is said that the game has been around in some form for centuries. The game is well documented and has associations that determine rules and specifications for equipment. The prior art is filled with different examples of slight variations in size and design. The problem with these designs is that they are either constructed of 2″×4″ wood frames that are 2′ wide×4′ long (regulation cornhole size) which makes them very heavy, or there are lighter style boards that are smaller than regulation size making them illegal for use at tournaments. Regulation size, tournament worthy boards are heavy and take up an unnecessary amount of space when in storage and at roughly 25 to 30 lbs. per board, they are often carried one at a time from storage place or vehicle to game positions, with the bags being carried separately. The idea for this invention was conceived of and put on the market for sale by website less than one year before the submission of this application in October 2010. Since the introduction of easyhandler.com, a similar idea was introduced that uses detachable suitcase hinges coupled with a suitcase style handle to benefit from the suitcase-style and bag storage aspect of the easyhandler.com design, however it is larger when stored, more complicated to use and manufacture than the immediate invention.
- It is therefore the object of the present invention to provide a unique “bag toss” or “cornhole” game board set that is lighter in weight while retaining the official 24″×48″ size and structural integrity.
- Another object of the present invention is a bean bag game board set that takes up minimal space, while still being official size.
- Another object of the present invention is to provide an easily transported, easily used and easily manufactured game set with a minimum of parts.
- Many people from a growing number of states have stumbled onto the easyhandler.com website and bought cornhole board sets from a manufacturer that is unknown to them because of the unique, simple, portable, lightweight and effective design of this invention.
- The invention of this application is an improvement of the functionality of the target boards of an existing popular game that incorporates two target boards, each with an upper deck measuring nominally 24 inches wide at the front and back, nominally 48 inches long from front to back, and slanted from a 2.5 to 4 inch height at the front to a 12 inch height at the back which is supported by a one or two leg apparatus, with the center of a 6 inch diameter hole located 9 inches from the rear, high end and centered @ nominally 12 inches from either side. All dimensions given are for illustrative purposes and are approximated.
- The improvements are a framework that incorporates a plurality of members and supports the upper playing surface or deck that is of sufficient size to support this playing surface without adding unnecessary weight whose dimensions are deemed to be roughly 2.5 inches in height and ½″ to ¾ inches thick and made of plywood or a similar lightweight material. The framework of one of the two boards is smaller in length and width in order to reside within the framework of the second board when all four legs are folded up close to the upper decks, faced together bottom to bottom and brought together to the closed position with the upper decks facing out resulting in a width that is the sum of both ½ inch upper deck and one frame height of 2.5 inches for a total storage thickness of 3.5 inches. When the two game boards are brought together for carrying or storage, there is a void between the two upper decks and the frameworks that is used as a storage space for the eight game bags.
- One lengthwise member of the smaller frame has two holes close to the center of the part at nominally 6 inches apart. A rope of approximately 24 inches in length and about the same diameter as said holes with a knot at one end is fed through from inside to outside of one of said holes, then through a 3.5 inch length of sturdy, lightweight tube and continued back through the other hole from outside to inside and then knotted to form a strong but flexible handle that can be fed through a specially shaped hole in one of the lengthwise frame members of the larger framed game board to lock game boards together as well as making the set easy to carry and comfortable for the hand.
- The specially shaped slot-like hole in the lengthwise frame member of the larger frame is shaped in such a way as to allow the tube handle to be pushed through at an angle while the two ends of the slot are tapered smaller than the diameter of the handle tube to hinder the handle tube from naturally going back through the slot hole. This slot hole is wider at the middle to allow the user to insert several fingers in to grab and pull the handle through the slot hole. Another feature of the slot hole is located at each end of the tapered slot where it widens again into a round hole much smaller than the wider middle and about the same diameter as the rope part of the handle. These rounded slot ends function to hold the rope handle in the extended position while unattended.
- The four game board legs are shaped in a way that combined with the location of the pivot point, they come into contact with the upper deck and frame with three points of contact when in the open position. One properly placed screw and washer are all that is necessary to fasten each leg to the game board frame side member. This design provides the additional strength that is sometimes needed when game boards are used for unintended purposes while keeping weight to a minimum.
- The present invention in its preferred embodiment has been manufactured, weighed, and compared to other traditional game board sets available on the market and the present invention game set design is

This outer frame forms an exterior portion whengame boards -
FIG. 2 illustrates the differences ofgame board 21 that allow the two frame portions of the separate game boards to nest together. Frame members upper 17, lower 11, andlong members Frame member 15 uses two machinedholes 12 that are of sufficient size to pass arope 13 through without allowing aknot 18 in that rope to pass.Game board 21 is shown upside down with legs ready to be folded along the dashed arc lines in ready for coupling withgame board 20. - Looking at
FIG. 3 , you will seegame board 20 abovegame board 21, both boards having legs rotated into the closed position. The arrows demonstrate the path thatgame board 20 should take to fit onto the upper deck of 21 with all the frame members and legs ofgame board 20 fitting outside of all of the frame members ofgame board 21. This configuration of frame member sets allows the two boards to take up a minimum of space. Frame members and upper decks are to be fastened together using screws, nails, glue, or any combination of these or other fasteners. - An illustration of the two
game boards FIG. 4 where All frame members and legs occupy the same space between both game boards upper deck 1. In this illustration you can observe thehandle assembly slot hole 3 into the locked position and is loosely held by the rounded slot ends 9 that are roughly the diameter of the rope with a slightly smaller than rope diameter opening into theslot hole 3, which keeps the game boards together for transport without hinges or pins. The locking handle assembly consists of one end ofrope part 13 inserted throughtube 14 and then one end ofrope 13 is inserted into eachhole 12 offrame member 15 from the outside of the frame to inside and knotted to formknots 18. Whengame boards handle assembly slot hole 3 whereparts slot hole 3 at an angle as depicted inFIG. 5 . With thehandle part 14 being larger and of sufficiently different shape than theslot hole 3, it becomes a locking mechanism to keep the two game boards from falling apart when unattended as illustrated onFIG. 6 . When the closed set of game boards is lifted, the handle mechanism similarly keeps the twogame boards rounded end slots 9 function to hold the handle assembly in an upright position yet allow the handle to be pushed back throughslot hole 3 to allow the game boards to be opened and separated. - The
legs 8 of the present invention are illustrated inFIG. 9 are mainly a rectangular bar shape with the ends cut at certain angles of certain lengths and thefastener screw 6 drilled in an offset pivot position through a location in the two long frame members of each game board that allows thelegs 8 to fold out of the way and into the void beside the frame assembly. The angle at the bottom of eachleg 8 is angled to match up with the straight ground, and the angle corner cut at the top of eachleg 8 is a relief cut to allow the leg to be able to rotate from the closed position to an open position where it simultaneously touches theupper frame member 5 on game board 20 (or 17 on game board 21) and upper deck 1 and is stops rotation. The two points ofcontact 19 where the legs stop at the upper frame member and upper deck combined with the fastener demonstrate superior strength under a weight load while keeping game board weight low and disperse the load among several different assembly parts. - When
game boards board 21 where the game bags can be stored as shown inFIG. 8 , further making this design attractive to enthusiasts since one person can carry both game boards, and all eightgame bags 22 in one hand.
