From Figures 1 to 6 it can be seen in particular that the game according to the invention is built into a housing 10, which has an opening 11 on one side. The opening 11 is covered by a removable screen 12 so that the housing opening 11 is closed by a playing field. in the individually, the housing 10 has a bottom 13, a pair of oppositely arranged naca internally inclined side walls 14, 14 'standing on the floor 13, an upper wall 15, which the two opposite side walls 14, 14 ' connects with each other, as well as a rear wall 16. In the bottom 13 a slot-shaped cam opening 17 is provided. A pair of feet 19, 19 'are molded onto the front cover 18 of the housing, which carry the front of the housing 10. At the point where the bottom 13 meets the rear wall 16, a corresponding pair of shoulders 20, 20 'is formed on the housing 10, which is also the rear wall of the housing.

The screen 12 is parabolic and consequently possesses convex and concave surfaces. The concave surface of the screen points inwards towards the rear wall. 16 of the housing 10. As can be seen in particular from FIG. 1, the screen 12 is printed with lines 12 ″, through which a tennis court is reproduced. From Figure 7, however, it can be seen that the screen 112 with lines 112 ', which delimit a hockey field. E.g. are on the screen 12 baselines 12 "and 12" 'as well.

609831/0339

drawn, such as lateral lines and the service fields.

A bracket 21 is mounted in the housing 10 at the rear end. The end 22 of the boom 21 facing the rear wall of the housing is mounted in a fork joint. For this purpose, a bearing pin 23 is mounted in the middle on the rear part of the base 13 in a mount 24 that is open at the top. A fork 25, which has two upright legs 26, 26 ', is rotatably received in the mount 24. The boom 21 is pivotable about a pivot pin 27 mounted in the legs 26, 26 'in the vertical direction.

The end 28 of the boom is in the housing 10 in an im essentially movable plane parallel to the screen 12. In the end 28 of the boom 21 is an operable Display device 29 is provided, which emits a signal that is shown schematically in FIG. 1 by the arrows 30 on the Screen 12 is indicated and, for example, corresponds to a tennis ball moving on the imitation tennis court. the Display device 29 can for example be formed by a light bulb attached to the end 28 of the boom 21, which a concentrated light beam is projected onto the concave screen surface, this light beam depicting the tennis ball. The lightbulb can be connected to a battery and have an on-off switch as described below Way to be lit.

The signal-emitting end 28 of the boom 21 can be moved back and forth over the screen 12 by means of a device 31. In detail, the device 31 has a in the slot-shaped cam opening 17, which is in the bottom 13 of the

609831/0339

Housing 10 is arranged, rotatably mounted cams 32 on. A device 33 is connected to the cam 32 and the fork 25, which the rotary movement of the cam in converts a reciprocating movement and is formed by a crank drive. At one end of the crank arm 35 is a journal 34 movably mounted on which a lateral flange 36 engages, which can be disengaged with a Shoulder 37 of the cam 32 is in communication. The side surface of the flange 36 lies against a corresponding side surface of the cam 32, which is formed by the shoulder 37, so that the flange 36 and the cam 32 in engagement stand. At the end 38 of the crank arm 35 is an upward projection 39, at which one end 40 a Leaf spring 41 is attached. The other end 42 of the leaf spring 41 is attached to the fork 25 of the boom bearing. When the cam 32 rotates, the crank arm 35 oscillates the leaf spring 41 so that the fork 25 moves backwards. and moved therewith causing the boom end 28 of the boom 21 to move simultaneously with the indicator moved back and forth along the screen.

To determine the mutual height of the display end of the boom 21 within that on the screen 12 Playing field, a front weight 43 is mounted in the boom 21, while the rear end 22 of the boom a counterweight 44 carries. The signal end of the boom moves due to the corresponding weight compensation 21 normally between the two lateral delimitation gene of the opening 11 back and forth.

On the side walls 14, 14 * of the housing 10 is a pair mirror-like deflection device 45, 45 'correspondingly movable stored, which the display end of the boom in

609831/0339

make an arbitrary vertical movement while this end reciprocates in the horizontal direction. Each deflection device 45, 45 'has a corresponding one Nose 46, 46 ', which is movable with the respective deflection device and against the display end of the boom 21 abuts, so that this in arbitrary vertical movements and horizontal reciprocating movements is moved across the playing field.

There are devices 47, 47 'provided with which the Deflectors 45, 45 'on the respective base lines 12 "and 12"' of the one recorded on the screen 12 Tennis court can be moved along, so that a rapid rally can be observed on the screen, like him occurs at a corresponding tennis game. Each push of the display end of the boom 21 by a corresponding one Deflector 45, 45 'across the tennis court corresponds to a successful kickback while at the same time an incorrect alignment of a deflection device 45, 45 'with respect to the display end of the boom 21 a Ball error corresponds, so that a game point is counted. The drive devices 47, 47 'have iron supports 48, 48' on, which are each on the corresponding side wall 14, 14 'of the housing 10 substantially normal to the corresponding Baselines 12 ", 12" 'of the imitation tennis court are stored. In each carrier 48, 48 'is a corresponding spur gear 49, 49 'rotatably mounted.

A corresponding one engages through each of the supports 48, 48 ' Rod 50, 50 'through on which the corresponding spur gears 49, 49' are mounted. The respective free Ends 51, 51 'of rods 50, 50' engage by corresponding ones (not shown) slots of the screen 12 back

609831/0339

At -

through and protrude from the housing. On the free Ends 51, 51 'of rods 50, 50' are detachable buttons 52, 52 * mounted.

Profiles 53, 53 'are pivotably articulated with their respective ends on a respective carrier 48, 48' / which carry the deflecting devices 45 and 45 * at their other ends. Toothed racks 54, 54 'reach down from the corresponding profiles 53, 53' and are in engagement with the corresponding spur gears 49, 49 'mounted ^{in the carriers 48, 4b 1.} The rods 5ü, 50 ¹ are rotatable in a first and a second direction, so that the spur gears 49, 49 'rotated accordingly and the corresponding racks 54, 54' are raised or lowered at the same time to the profiles 53, 53 'and to raise and lower the deflection devices 45, 45 'attached thereto accordingly.

The end 28 of the boom which has the display device is encompassed by a pressure-absorbing spring 55, which attenuates the shock of the end 28 of the boom when the boom end hits the deflectors 45, 45 ' hits, and ensures that the end 28 of the boom is moved at an angle over the tennis court relative to the screen. As can best be seen from FIGS. 2 and 3 is, the spring 55 may be formed by a coil spring with an enae around part of the boom end 28 is tightly wrapped around, while the remaining turns of the coil spring are increasingly larger towards the end of the spring Diameter and do not touch the outer end of the boom. The coil spring 55 abuts with the expanded Helical spring part against the deflecting devices 45, 45 ', these deflecting devices essentially are formed by rigid body parts. Because the extended

609831/0 339

Coil springs essentially have a conical profile, the cross-section of the shock corresponds to the largest cross-section the coil springs.

In the middle of the upper wall 15 within the housing 10 is an acoustic signaling device 56, e.g. a bell housing, attached, which sounds when the deflection device 45 or 45 'is not congruent with the one with the display device equipped end 28 of the boom is aligned. In the housing 10 are two detectors 57, 57 'mounted pivotably, which a non-congruent alignment of a deflection device 45 or 45' opposite the display end 28 of the boom. The detectors 57, 57 'are pivotably mounted on the floor 13 of the housing and reach up from this. It can be seen most clearly from FIG. 6 that the detectors 57, 57 ' are pivotable corresponding to a first and a second position. The first position is from the in the Fig.6 shown detector 57 'taken while the second position is assumed by the detector 57 shown in FIG. When the detectors 57, 57 'their take up the first position, then they coincide with the corresponding baselines 12 ″, 12 ″ ′ of the one indicated on the screen 12 Tennis court.

Each detector 57, 57 'has a baffle plate 58, 58', which each with one end 59, 59 'in the bottom 13 and with the respective opposite end 62, 62 "in the upper wall 15 is mounted. Laterally extending flanges 60, 60 ″ are attached to the baffle plates, which on opposite sides carry knobs 61, 61 and 61 ', 61' that are offset from one another. At the top of the baffle plates 58, 58 'are devices 63, 63' attached, the

609831/0339

for example formed by two leaf springs and strike against the bell housing 56 in order to generate an acoustic signal when a baffle plate 58 or 58 'is moved by the reciprocating arm 21 from its first position to the second position. In the area of the corresponding upper baffle plate ends 62, 62 ', the baffle plates 58, 58 ^{1 have} a nose 64, 64' via which each detector is connected to the point counting device 65.

On the cam 32 is a profile disk controlled by the cam 66, which converts the rotary motion of the cam into a linear reciprocating motion. The cam-controlled Profile disk 66 is of a bracket 67 provided with a recess with two arranged in alignment and connecting arms 68, 68 'provided with recesses formed, which the detectors 57, 57 'alternately from their corresponding second position to their first position move after one or the other detector of the reciprocating boom out of its first moved to its second position. A guide pin engages in each of the recesses in the connecting arms 68, 68 ' 69, 69 ', which ensures that the cam-controlled Profile disk 66 performs a linear reciprocating movement.

From Figures 2 and 6 it can be seen most clearly that the detector 57 'assumes its first position, wherein, a Knob 61 'rests against the side wall 14' of the housing 10 and the cam-controlled profile disk 66 is linearly displaced to its outermost position, in which a upwardly curved lip 70 "of the connecting arm 68 'against the offset knob 61 'abuts. At the same time it is shown that the detector 57 assumes its second position,

609831/0339

in which an upwardly bent lip 70 of the connecting arm 6 8 abuts against a knob 61. In relation to the detector 57, the cam-controlled profile disk 66 assumes its innermost position. When the cam-controlled Profile disk 66 is moved relative to the detector 57 in its outermost position, then the baffle plate 58 pivoted until the other knob 61 hits the side wall 14 of the housing 10. In the second position of the detector 57 strikes the leaf spring 63 against the bell housing 56, so that an acoustic Signal generated and indicated by the fact that the boom 21 has hit the detector 51 and this has rotated before the deflection device 45 is brought into a suitable position by hand in a suitable manner could be in order to bounce off the boom end 28 provided with the display device.

From Figures 4 and 6 it can be clearly seen that the Scoring device 65 is mounted on top wall 15 of housing 10 and has a front wall 71, in which recesses 72, 72 'are provided. Behind each recess 72, 72 'of the front wall 71 is a counting disk 73, 73' rotatably mounted so that each recess 72, 72 'a number of the corresponding counting discs 73, 73' releases. A ratchet wheel 74, 74 'is attached to each counting disk 73, 73', with which a reciprocating Pawl 75, 75 'cooperates, which moves a corresponding ratchet wheel forward to simultaneously a corresponding counting disk 73, 73 'to rotate so that a higher number is displayed in a recess 72, 72'. The pawls 75, 75 'are connected to the lugs 64, 64' of the detectors 57 and 57 ', respectively, and each pawl

609831/0339

is engaged with a corresponding ratchet wheel 74, 74 ' • brought to turn one or the other ratchet wheel 74, 74 'further, when the corresponding detector is moved from its first to its second position.

Two game windows 76, 76 'are provided in the front wall 71, in which the respective winner depending on the numbers of the counting discs turned forward 73, 73 'is displayed. Behind the front wall 71, two levers 77, 77 'are pivotably mounted, which at one end Wear panels 78, 78 'with the colors of the players. At their corresponding other end 79, 79 'the Levers 77, 77 'claws which rest against the corresponding ratchet wheels 74, 74' when they are rotated. In the ratchet wheel 74, 74 'of each counting disk 73, 73 " a slot 80, 30 'is provided, in which a corresponding The pawl 79, 79 'engages when the counting disc indicates the end of the game, so that the corresponding lever 77, 77 'lowers the board with the corresponding colors of the winner 78, 78' into a game window 76, 76 '. From the Fig. 1 'and 6 it can be seen that the end of the game then is reached when eleven errors have been made or eleven times neglected, the one provided with the display device Boom end 2 8 of the boom to bounce off the deflectors 45, 45 'before the boom " ger struck against the corresponding detector. Each measured error is made by the scoring device 65 counted by means of the pawls and ratchet assembly. On the eleventh error, the board with the colors of the winner will be awarded lowered to window 76 "to indicate the winner and end the game.

The cam 32 and the display device 29 can be driven synchronously, for example by batteries. To this

609831/0339

For this purpose, an on-off switch 81 can be provided which is connected to the aforementioned devices and interrupts or closes the circuit. The drive means for the cam 32 may, for example, be a screw and a worm wheel which is driven by a motor, not shown. E.g. a cam gear be attached to the underside of the cam 32 while a driven snail drives a pinion, which meshes with the cam gear.

Another preferred embodiment is shown in FIGS the invention shown, wherein an ice hockey rink is recorded on the screen. That The illustrated embodiment also has an improved counting device, which the game automatically turns off when a player has achieved a sufficient number of points required to win the game is.

The screen 112 is printed in such a way that an ice hockey rink with a goal, players, blue lines, etc. On the back of the screen are mounted in the movement path of the spring 55 engaging deflectors 114, which the boom to a Steer the goal when the end of the arm moves in any way across the playing field. While playing tennis a player has to return the balls along the entire length of the baseline, the goal has e.g. in a hockey game an opening that is only part of the The width of the playing area.

7 and 8 are shown in detail in the case of the Embodiment the deflection devices 45 as well

609831/0339

V7ie operated in the first embodiment in order to control the deflection devices to bring the end of the boom 21 into cover and to ensure that the boom is distracted to the opponent's goal. It could be provided that a portion 115 of the screen 112 within each Gate is made transparent, so that not only the deflector 45, but also the image of a goalkeeper can be seen so that the game is reproduced realistically. In other words, that means that the player tries to move his goalkeeper over the goal area in order to prevent that as a result of a mistake a goal is scored and counted.

In order to increase the attraction of the game, it can also be provided that on the inner surface of the screen 112 buffers 116 are attached, which extend sufficiently far into the housing so that they are in the path of movement engage the end of the boom. The buffers can be arranged anywhere and on the screen surface can be reproduced by drawn hockey players. When the boom is deflected so that a buffer 116 is located in its movement path, then the boom immediately bounces back towards the goal of the player who made the last stroke. The possibility an instant return of the boom before it reaches the end of its trajectory and over moved the entire length of the screen requires a faster response from the player. While only two ' Buffers 116 are shown arranged on the red line are, further buffers can be provided, which are arranged at any point on the playing field. -

On the basis of the exemplary embodiment described above, to

609831/0339

recognize that different screens may be provided for different games. For example, umbrellas for soccer, polo, field hockey and other games.

In the first embodiment of the invention there is a counting disc and a board with the colors for each player of the winner is provided, which is placed in the appropriate position when a player has a certain Has reached a number of points or hits. However, the scoring device allows the game to continue and can be started from the beginning, as can be seen in particular from FIG. The in the Fig.9 and 10 illustrated embodiment, at which the circuit shown in Fig.11 is used, the game is automatically interrupted if one the player has reached the predetermined number of goals.

From Figures 8 to 10 it can be seen that the housing 125 for the counter is carried by the main housing 10 and has a front wall 126. On the front wall 126 a disk 127 is rotatably mounted, which bears labels visible through a window 128. To drive the disk 127, a ratchet wheel 129 set in rotation by the claw 75 is provided. The disc In the exemplary embodiment shown in FIG. 9, 127 is set in rotation just like the counting device 4, and the disc 127 is rotated every time an error occurs and a goal or a Point is counted.

The device can also be equipped with a device for displaying the owner, as in the case of the first Embodiment has already been described.

609831/0339

Next to the front wall 126 is a contact plate 131 which is part of the electrical circuit. A switch contact 132 is movably mounted on the housing 125 of the counter and is in its Normal position resiliently pressed against the contact plate 131. The disk 127 has a cam 133 which can come to rest against the switch contact 132 and this can push to the side so that the switch contact lifts off the contact plate 131 when the disc 127 the Position reached in whichever the game is over.

The disk 127 has one of the housing 125 of the counter outstanding reset button 134, with which the disc manually in the zero position at the start of the game can be reset.

The counting device, switch contacts, cams, etc. are provided in duplicate, so that the counting device is present for every player. The contact plate 131 extends between the two counting devices, such as this can be seen from FIG. 11.

From Figure 11 it can also be seen that an energy source 136 can be provided in the form of dry cell batteries, which are arranged in a battery housing 135 are (see Fig. 8). However, any other desired electrical energy source can also be provided. The driving torque to drive the cam 32 is generated by an electric motor, which is shown schematically in FIG and is provided with the reference numeral 137. The light bulb 29, which is arranged at the end of the boom, is also supplied with power from the energy source 136.

609831/0 339

At the beginning of the game, both players set their discs 127 by hand to the zero position with the aid of the reset buttons 134 a. The game is then switched on by closing the on-off switch 81, wherein the in Fig.11 circuit shown is closed. When the counting disks 127 are in their zero position, then both take Cam 133 is in such a position that the switch contacts 132 rest against the contact plate 131. The circuit will then closed so that the electric motor 137 is started and the light bulb 29 burns. The boom 21 therefore begins its back and forth movement and projects the light onto the screen surface, onto which the playing field is applied is. Whenever the end of the boom and deflector 45 do not coincide, the corresponding disk will 127 turned one number further, as already stated. When one of the players has scored enough goals and has reached the corresponding number at which the game is won, then the disc 127 takes the in the position shown in Fig.4, which is shown schematically in the upper left corner of Fig.11, so that the cam 133 lifts the switch contact 132 from the contact plate 131 and the circuit is interrupted. Consequently the electric motor 137 is switched off and the light bulb 29 goes out. So if a player is eligible to win the Game has reached the required number of goals, then the game device automatically switched off and the game is over.

To restart the game, players must first turn off the on / off switch and then turn off the discs 127 set back to the zero position.

The counting device can also be provided with game winning disks 141
