ABSTRACT:
A toy target game includes a plurality of targets rotatably mounted on a shaft. Each of the targets is mounted inside a sleeve which is also rotatably mounted on the shaft. Each target includes a depiction of a first character on a first end and a depiction of a second character on an opposite second end. Each target is mounted on the shaft through a transverse opening in the target at a midpoint of the target. Each sleeve is rectangular in cross-section and includes slots on opposing sides of the sleeve, through which the shaft passes. When the targets are aligned in a normal, vertical position, each sleeve covers the end of the target which is below the shaft, while leaving the end of the target which is above the shaft exposed. Each sleeve is slidable with respect to its associated target, such that, when a target is struck by an object, such as a ball which is rolled at the target, the target flips and the sleeve slides to cover the end which comes to rest under the shaft, thus covering that end and exposing the end which is above the shaft. The object of the game is to expose all of the ends of the targets which depict the same character by causing the targets to spin into the desired orientation by striking the targets with a rolled object.
