ABSTRACT:
A disc catching apparatus for use in playing a flying disc game includes a vertically extending post supported in the earth or in a portable stanchion and having a basket attached thereto around the post between its ends. A top housing is attached to the top of the post and spaced from the basket and a plurality of elongated flexible disc stopping members, such as flexible chains, are attached to the top housing and hang downwardly into the basket for stopping the flying objects impinging thereupon so that the flying objects will fall into the basket. The top housing has an interior compartment therein having at least one lamp for lighting the basket and hanging chain as well as lighting a translucent lens so that a flying disc game can be played in low light. An improved attachment is provided for attaching chains to the top housing and an improved basket mounting coupler is provided for supporting the basket which coupler can be readily injection molded.
