ABSTRACT:
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
1. Field of the Invention
The present invention relates to toys and more particularly pertains to a new toy and storage play set for providing a wrestling ring and storage area.
2. Description of the Prior Art
The use of toys is known in the prior art. More specifically, toys heretofore devised and utilized are known to consist basically of familiar, expected and obvious structural configurations notwithstanding the myriad of designs encompassed by the crowded prior art which have been developed for the fulfillment of countless objectives and requirements.
Known prior art includes U.S. Pat. No. 3,790,165; U.S. Pat. No. 4,091,563; U.S. Pat. No. 3,235,259; U.S. Pat. No. 4,472,008; U.S. Pat. No. 5,570,879; and U.S. Pat. No. 325,479.
While these devices fulfill their respective, particular objectives and requirements, the aforementioned patents do not disclose a new toy and storage play set. The inventive device includes a container device and wrestling ring device. The container device has a housing having a top side which is open. A covering member covers the housing. The wrestling ring device has a stage portion. The stage portion is generally planar, having a facing side and a back side. The back side is releasably securable to the covering member. Four elongate members each have a first end and a second end. Each of the elongate members has central portion having two spaced bores therein such that a top bore and a bottom bore is defined. A first cord forms a closed hoop and extends through each of the top bores. A second cord also forms a closed hoop and extends through each of the bottom bores. A plurality of fastening means fasten the elongate members to the facing side of the stage portion. Each of the fasten in L means is coupled to one of the second ends of the elongate members. Each of the fastening means is a suction cup.
In these respects, the toy and storage play set according to the present invention substantially departs from the conventional concepts and designs of the prior art, and in so doing provides an apparatus primarily developed for the purpose of providing a wrestling ring and storage area.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
In view of the foregoing disadvantages inherent in the known types of toys now present in the prior art, the present invention provides a new toy and storage play set construction wherein the same can be utilized for providing a wrestling ring and storage area.
The general purpose of the present invention, which will be described subsequently in greater detail is to provide a new toy and storage play set apparatus and method which has many of the advantages of the toys mentioned heretofore and many novel features that result in a new toy and storage play set which is not anticipated, rendered obvious, suggested, or even implied by any of the prior art toys, either alone or in any combination thereof.
To attain this. the present invention generally comprises a container device and wrestling ring device. The container device has a housing having a top side which is open. A covering member covers the housing. The wrestling ring device has a stage portion. The stage portion is generally planar, having a facing side and a back side. The back side is releasably securable to the covering member. Four elongate members each have a first end and a second end. Each of the elongate members has central portion having two spaced bores therein such that a top bore and a bottom bore is defined. A first cord forms a closed hoop and extends through each of the top bores. A second cord also forms a closed hoop and extends through each of the bottom bores. A plurality of fastening means fasten the elongate members to the facing side of the stage portion. Each of the fastening means is coupled to one of the second ends of the elongate members. Each of the fastening means is a suction cup.
There has thus been outlined, rather broadly, the more important features of the invention in order that the detailed description thereof that follows may be better understood, and in order that the present contribution to the art may be better appreciated. There are additional features of the invention that will be described hereinafter and which will form the subject matter of the claims appended hereto.
In this respect, before explaining at least one embodiment of he invention in detail, it is to be understood that the invention is not limited in its application to the details of construction and to the arrangements of the components set forth in the following description or illustrated in the drawings. The invention is capable of other embodiments and of being practiced and carried out in various ways. Also, it is to be understood that the phraseology and terminology employed herein are for the purpose of description and should not be regarded as limiting.
As such, those skilled in the art will appreciate that the conception, upon which this disclosure is based, may readily be utilized as a basis for the designing of other structures, methods and systems for carrying out the several purposes of the present invention. It is important therefore, that the claims be regarded as including such equivalent constructions insofar as they do not depart from the spirit and scope of the present invention.
Further, the purpose of the foregoing abstract is to enable the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office and the public generally, and especially the scientists, engineers and practitioners in the art who are not familiar with patent or legal terms or phraseology, to determine quickly from a cursory inspection the nature and essence of the technical disclosure of the application. The abstract is neither intended to define the invention of the application, which is measured by the claims, nor is it intended to be limiting as to the scope of the invention in any way.
It is therefore an object of the present invention to provide a new toy and storage play set apparatus and method which has many of the advantages of the toys mentioned heretofore and many novel features that result in a new toy and storage play set which is not anticipated, rendered obvious, suggested, or even implied by any of the prior art toys, either alone or in any combination thereof.
It is another object of the present invention to provide a new toy and storage play set which may be easily and efficiently manufactured and marketed.
It is a further object of the present invention to provide a new toy and storage play set which is of a durable and reliable construction.
An even further object of the present invention is to provide a new toy and storage play set which is susceptible of a low cost of manufacture with regard to both materials and labor, and which accordingly, is then susceptible of low prices of sale to the consuming public, thereby making such toy and storage play set economically available to the buying public.
Still yet another object of the present invention is to provide a new toy and storage play set which provides in the apparatuses and methods of the prior art some of the advantages thereof, while simultaneously overcoming some of the disadvantages normally associated therewith.
Still another object oaf the present invention is to provide a new toy and storage play set for providing a wrestling ring and storage area.
Yet another object of the present invention is to provide a new toy and storage play set which includes a container device and wrestling ring device. The container device has a housing having a top side which is open. A covering member covers the housing. wrestling ring device has a stage portion. The stage portion is generally planar having a facing side and a back side. The back side is releasably securable to the covering member. Four elongate members each have a first end and a second end. Each of the elongate members has central portion having two spaced bores therein such that a top bore and a bottom bore is defined. A first cord forms a closed hoop and extends through each of the top bores. A second cord also forms a closed hoop and extends through each of th
