BACKGROUND

The present general inventive concept relates generally to a seated game, and particularly, to a seated game including chairs, cups, and ping pong balls.

2. Description of the Related Art

Many individuals enjoy games of skill such as beer pong, hacky sack, flip-cup, and quarters, but tire of the monotony of playing the same games repeatedly. Currently on the market, there are various versions of these types of games, but there is a need for a new variation of traditional games of skill. Furthermore, most of these games of skill are required to be played in a standing position.

Therefore, there is a need for a new game of skill that allows users to play while in a seated position.

SUMMARY

The present general inventive concept provides a seated game including chairs, cups, and ping pong balls.

The foregoing and/or other features and utilities of the present general inventive concept may be achieved by providing a collapsible chair used to play a game of skill, including a first set of legs, a second set of legs foldably connected to the first set of legs, a seat back disposed at a top portion of the first set of legs, a seat disposed between the first set of legs and the second set of legs, a seat hole disposed at a front portion of the seat, and a cup insertable within the seat hole to receive at least one object therein.

The at least one object may be receivable within the cup when a user is sitting on the seat.

The collapsible chair used to play a game of skill may further include an object holder disposed at a side portion of the seat to hold the at least one object therein.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

FIG. 1illustrates a collapsible chair used to play a game of skill100, according to an exemplary embodiment of the present general inventive concept.

The collapsible chair used to play a game of skill100may be shaped like any type of chair known to one of ordinary skill in the art, and may be constructed from metal, plastic, rubber, wood, cloth, etc., but is not limited thereto.

The collapsible chair used to play a game of skill100may include a first set of legs110, a second set of legs120, a plurality of connecting joints130, a back rest140, a seat150, a ball holder160, a cup holder170, a cup180and at least one ping pong ball190.

The first set of legs110may be connected to the second set of legs120via the plurality of connecting joints130disposed on opposing sides.

Top portions of the second set of legs120may be swivably connected to upper portions of the first set of legs110, to allow the second set of legs120to be collapsible and/or foldable with respect to the first set of legs110.

Top portions of the first set of legs110may be connected to each other via the back rest140disposed therebetween.

The seat150may be connected to the first set of legs110and the second set of legs120to provide a platform on which a user may sit. When the second set of legs120are folded with respect to the first set of legs110, the seat150may fold upward or downward for easy and compact storage.

As such, when the collapsible chair used to play a game of skill100is unfolded (i.e., in an open position) a user may sit on the seat150and lean against the back rest140.

The back rest140may include an aperture141to allow the collapsible chair used to play a game of skill100to be easily carried by a user when the collapsible chair used to play a game of skill100is in a folded position.

As such, the first set of legs110, the second set of legs120, the plurality of connecting joints130, the back rest140, and the seat150all act together like a foldable chair known to one of ordinary skill in the art.

The seat150may include a seat hole151disposed at a front portion of the seat150, and may be used to allow the cup180to be inserted therein. As such, the seat hole151may be a cup holder to allow a user to play a game of skill with the at least one ping pong ball190.

The ball holder160may be disposed at a side portion of the seat150, and may be a basket to hold the at least one ping pong ball190therein. The ball holder160may also be characterized as an object holder to hold at least one object therein.

The cup holder170may be disposed at another side portion of the seat150, and may be a holder to hold the cup180, or other reserve cups.

In order to play the game of skill, two players may unfold and place two collapsible chairs used to play a game of skill100to face each other, and then may each sit in the collapsible chairs used to play a game of skill100. Then, the cups180may be inserted into the seat holes151. Then, the players may take turns attempting to throw ping pong balls190into each other's respective cups180disposed within the seat holes151.

Although the at least one ping pong ball190is preferably used as part of the present general inventive concept, other objects may also be used as a substitute for the at least one ping pong ball190, including but not limited to, other types of balls, coins, rocks, etc.
