Abstract:
1. A ball game device, comprising: a) a frame shaped to approximate a standing elephant on a surface, said frame having a front-end and a rear-end, b) a tail lever pivotably mounted to the rear-end of said frame, c) a trunk pivotably mounted to the front-end of said frame disposed to touch said surface, d) a body covering of predetermined color and material, e) means for mounting said body covering to said frame and said trunk so as to form the shape of an elephant, f) an opening in said trunk of sufficient diameter to pass a ball, g) a exit opening in rear-end of the shape of the elephant of sufficient diameter to pass the ball, h) a contiguous ball guide of sufficient diameter to pass the ball connecting said trunk opening to said exit opening, i) means for joining said tail lever and said trunk so activation of said tail lever causes said trunk to raise to a sufficient height thereby causing the ball to move from said trunk opening to said rear-end opening under the force of gravity; whereby the ball is transported through said device to said exit opening.
