A disc golf target includes a center post, a chain rack supported by the post, and a lower basket supported by the post opposite the chain rack. The chain rack has a hub mounted to the post, a plurality of spokes radially extending from the hub for supporting the circumference of the chain rack in concentric alignment with the hub, and a plurality of attachment points concentrically disposed between the hub and the circumference of the chain rack. A plurality of outer chains having first and second ends has the first end supported by the chain rack and the second end attached to an outer chain ring disposed about the post near the basket. A plurality of inner chains having first and second ends has each end supported by a respective attachment point wherein the inner chains vertically hand downward from the attachment points in an overlapping fashion to define an inner envelope for catching a disc.
A disc golf target assembly. A plurality of curved support members and chain segments cooperate to intercept flying discs which enter the target. The curved support members deflect and disturb the flight path of the disc and reduce the momentum thereof. The chain segments arrest forward motion of the disc, and the disc drops into an underlying receiving area. The receiving area may be a basket structure mounted below the interception structure. The assembly may further include a raised stand structure. The curved support members may be elongate tubular members which extend over the receiving area. The support members may be arched outwardly or inwardly over the receiving area, and may be convertible between conf igurations. The support members and chain segments may also be selectively configured to give the target a directional bias, so that it more readily receives discs from one direction than from another.
A pole mounted basket and chain assembly for use with flying disc golf courses. A chain assembly is provided with a total of 24 chains located at spaced intervals around the pole, a first inner set of 12 and an outer set of 12. At the upper end each inner chain is attached to a support radially extending from the pole or post. At the lower end the inner chains are attached to a horizontal ring of links. A second outer set of chains attached to a second larger support mounted at the top of the pole extend vertically downward and are also attached to the horizontal ring at their lower ends. A basket is attached to the pole below the lower end of the chains with the pole passing through the center of the basket. Flying discs impacting the chains have their energy absorbed by the chains and the discs drop vertically into the basket.
A disc golf target assembly. A plurality of chain segments are suspended from a support member by generally U-shaped attachment loops. The attachment loops have upwardly and outwardly sloped side portions, so that the energy of the disc is absorbed and dissipated by spreading and lifting the chain segments as the disc strikes the target assembly. The support member, attachment loops and chain segments may be mounted on a vertical support, and the assembly may include a basket that is mounted beneath the support and chain segments for receiving the disc therefrom.
A flying disk target assembly used as a target in flying disk golf. The assembly includes a strut assembly attached to a vertical lower pole. The lower pole is received inside a basket sleeve centered on an open top basket. The sleeve is attached to an upper pole. The upper pole is received inside a chain and net assembly. The assembly includes an upper chain and net ring with ring sleeve is received on top of the upper pole for suspending the assembly. The upper chain and net ring is used for suspending a plurality of chains and a net. A weighted lower chain and net ring is attached to a bottom of the chains and the net. The lower chain and net ring includes a floating sleeve. When a flying disk hits the chains and/or the net, the floating sleeve acts as a shock absorber.
An entrapment device for entrapping projectile or flying objects employed in a game, such as flying discs employed in the game of disc golf, comprises an entrapment frame assembly including a top basket support and a bottom basket support. The entrapment device comprises a net attachable to the top basket support and having an entrapment zone portion adapted to absorb kinetic energy from the projectile or flying object to cause the projectile or flying object to drop into and be entrapped in the bottom basket support.
