body mounted and identified by the reference number 8. A disc-shaped game ball 9, which carries a replica of a basketball on the surface, is contained within the space between the game board 2 and the inner surface of the transparent cover 3. In addition to the vertically movable figures, other non-movable game figures F are shown directly on the artistically printed surface of the game board 2.

A receptacle 11 is provided for receiving the disc-shaped game ball 9. This receptacle 11 is designed as part of the structure of the plastic base housing 1 (see reference number 111, Fig. 8), the front opening of the receptacle 11 being covered by a preferably arched, loosely depending cover plate 12 which is attached to the game board 2. This cover plate 12 is preferably printed in such a way that it resembles an ordinary basketball safety net. Matching protrusions 211 on cover 3 (Fig. 8) hold cover plate 12 in place against protrusions 111 (Fig. 8). This basketball receptacle 11 shown is located at the entrance of a return channel 15 which is formed within the plastic base housing 1 (FIG. 8). The return channel 15 leads to a game ball discharge opening 13 which is provided within the painted game board 2. Every time the basketball game disc 9 is thrown into the receptacle 11, it passes a trigger k 3a for actuation of the scoring mechanism, which is described below, and then rolls back through the return channel 15 and the dispensing opening 13 »um the upper, raised surface ka. the game figure h to fall, which is the start of another series of shots at the basket.

909821/0526

Operating buttons 16, 17 and 18 are rotatably arranged on the base housing 1 for operation by the players of the game from the front of the same. As shown, the moving characters k, 6 and the hand body part 8 are moved by the operating buttons 16, 18 and 17, respectively. Depending on how firmly or forcefully each actuating button is pressed or pushed, the associated, vertically movable game figure will throw or move the game disc 9. The remaining vertically movable game pieces 5 and 7 figure as opponents, these being forced to move up and down by a predetermined movement that is generated by the drive spring of a spring motor.

If you now consider the transparent cover 3 'as shown in Fig. 8 in exploded form, it has on the inside guides or guide plates 19, 19a, 19b, 19c. These guide plates work in connection with the vertically movable game pieces around the game disc 9 from falling below the game line which is essentially horizontal across the center of the game runs in a line slightly below the return channel 15 · In this way, the playing disc 9 be moved or beaten from one game figure to another, the game disc 9 through this guide plate 19 »19a» 19b and 19c is passed without between two players to fall down. A guide plate 19b blocks the playing disc in its upper path of movement.

Reference numeral 20 denotes an operating button for actuating the spring motor mechanism of the game.

909821/0526

When this control button 20 moves in one direction (in Fig. to the left) is pushed along the slot 21, see above a spring 35 of a spring motor is tensioned. The slot is formed by plastic sides 121 which are provided within the basic housing 1. The control panel 20 is for example pushed to the left and then released, whereby the spring 35 causes a slow movement of the control knob 20 to the right under the control of a subsequently described inhibition mechanism. This in turn makes the predetermined vertical movement of the Opponents 5 and 7 caused. With the reference number denotes an opening which the display surface an evaluation disc shows when this has been actuated by the counting mechanism for evaluation.

Before the various operating mechanisms are explained in detail, the general functioning of the game should be described. When the control button 20 is pushed completely to the left, the spring 35 », which is arranged behind the vertical cover plate 100 of the basic housing 1, is tensioned, which puts it in the state of driving the operating mechanism with a time inhibiting mechanism for the opponents. As soon as the control button 20 is released, the spring 35 begins to relax and the movement of the playing pieces 5 begins, causing them to move up and down with respect to one another, the game and the opposing playing pieces h , 6 and 8.

It is assumed that the game disc 9 lies in the upper recess ka of the game piece * l, then by simply pressing the operating button 16, the movable game piece k is forced to jump straight upwards.

909821/0526

whereby the playing disc 9 is thrown away. Thereafter, by correctly pressing and correct timing of the actuation of the operating buttons 17 and 1 "in succession, the game pieces 8 or 6 are forced to move vertically, whereby the game disc 9 is pushed or thrown into the receptacle 11 has been thrown into the receptacle 11, the points counting mechanism is thereby operated, which rotates the evaluation disc 122, which is visible through the window 22, so as to increase the total score for the player playing the game back to the starting position in the recess Ua on the head of the game figure h .

The aim of the game is to collect as many points (baskets) as possible during the given playing time, which lasts until the actuated by the control button 20 spring motor from the fully opened position in has run the fully relaxed or stop position. Therefore, the winner between several players is the one who has accumulated the highest total number of points before returning to the starting position, which in this case here, for example, the right position within the basic housing, as can be seen from the front view in FIG. 1 can be found.

The operating mechanisms for the various playing figures will now be described. If one observes FIG. 8, the movable playing figure k located furthest to the left has pins * lb and * »c projecting integrally from its rear surface. The pin kc is rotatably inserted in a hole within the vertical cover plate 100, during the

909821 / 052S

- yar -

other pin * »b protrudes loosely into a curved slot 2J , the slot 23 being arranged in the vertical cover plate 100. As shown, the pin kb longer than the pin kc loosely in a slot 2 * "b protrudes, the vertical movable in a A _r m 2ha -

Slide rod 2k is arranged. This slide rod 2k is inevitably guided to perform a vertical movement by guides 32 ^ t, which are arranged on the back of the plastic cover plate 100 (FIGS. 9 and 10).

These plastic guides 324 can be bent outward to receive and release the slide bar 24. The guides 524 are therefore designed, for example, like clips. The guides 324 have a guide structure 325 which is arranged like a lid on the guides 324, partially covering them. This cover 325 has a recess 328 which engages with a projection 33o or a projection on the inside of the slide bar 24 in order to guide the slide bar 24 and to align it during its vertical movement. The lower end of the slide rod 24 remains somewhat above the rear part 16a of the operating button 16, which has an inclined course, so that the slide rod 24 is moved when the operating button is depressed or depressed. The actuating button 16 is rotatably mounted about an axis 16b which is rotatably mounted in suitable bearings 116 which are formed within the plastic as an integral part of the G-round housing. When the operating button 16 is pressed down by a player, the vertical slide bar 24 is moved upwards, whereby the first game figure 4 rotates around the axis of rotation 4c due to the connection between the slot 24b of the arm 24a and the pin 4b _e Game figure 4 inclined upwards about the axis of rotation 4c and thereby causes the game disc 9 to be thrown when it is. the same is located within ä®T ¥ erti © fmag 4a «

909321 / 052®

Depending on the force with which the actuating button 16 is pressed down is, the game disc 9 is sometimes within the Depression or recess 8a of the movable hand member 8 or the game body part 8 placed, which is above and to the right of the movable game figure 4, or at other times, the game disc 9 can be located directly within the recess or landing 6a of the movable playing figure 6, which means that the playing disc 9 is under the control of the player

on a game figure 6 or on another next game body part 8 is located. Otherwise the playing disc 9 falls down onto the upper surface part 5a of the opposing playing figure 5, which is moved by the spring, whereby the playing disc 9 returns backwards through a guide plate 19a to the moving playing figure _4f which has just been pressed.

The upper movable game body part 8, which is shown as game hands, has two pins 8b and 8c, which are extend from the rear of the part 8. The pin 8b serves as the axis of rotation and is inserted through a hole in the front panel, while the other pin 8c is loosely slidable in an inclined slot 25 made within the vertical cover plate 1oo is arranged. The pin 8c is noticeably longer than the pin 8b and is fitted in a slot 26b, the inside an arm 26a of a vertical slide bar 26 mounted on the rear of the faceplate. This slide bar 26 is forced to perform a vertical movement guided by suitable guides 326, the guides 324 of FIGS. 9 and 10 are similar, although these are also suitable made of plastic and designed as integral parts of the front plate 1oo or cover plate 1oo. The lower end of the vertical slide rod 26 is located slightly above the

909821/0526

inclined end portion 17a of the operation button 17. The operation button 17 is designed like the actuating button 16 in Figv 9 and is also attached rotatably about an axis 17b, which is suitably stored in plastic bearings 117, which are formed in the front plate or cover plate 1 oo, Accordingly, when the operation button 17 is depressed by a player, the vertical slide bar becomes moved upwards, whereby in turn the movable play body part 8 is actuated, which thereupon a predetermined Rotates angle around the pin 8b. As a result, the playing disc 9 is in turn moved when it is in the recess 8a to move the same to the next playing figure 6 or 7 ·

The upper surface 7a of the game figure 7 is inclined so / that the play disc 9 is prevented from remaining on this surface. Therefore, if the game disc 9 on this Surface 7a falls, the playing disc rolls down and kelu-t back to the recess 6a of the movable game figure 6 via the guide plate 19c. However, if the operating button 18 has been successfully pressed to the movable Lifting the pawn at the right time or bouncing up with just the right amount of force, then the Game disc 9 thrown into the receptacle 11, whereby a point is won.

The vertically movable game figure 6 is provided with two pins 6b and 6c which protrude backwards of the same. Of the Pin 6b is rotatable with respect to the upper end portion 29a of a Rotary plate 29 attached, which is essentially an angled Form consisting of the two legs 29a and 29b. The other end 29b of the rotary plate 29 is slightly above the inclined end part 18a of an operating button 18. The operating button 18 is rotatable about an axis 18b which is located within the plastic bearing 118 which is located within the Fjroratplatte or the

909821 / 0S28

Cover plate 100 are formed. The other pin 6c of the playing figure 6 protrudes slidably into an inclined Scbli ^: 27, which is arranged within the front panel or cover panel 100.

The operation of the rotating plate 29 for actuating the vertically movable playing figure 6 is somewhat different from that of the vertical slide rods 2 * 4 and 26, which have been previously described. However, the Gesamtergebu 'the action of the player is essentially the-'selbe. This modification of the structure is necessary to allow sufficient space for the spring motor drive and timing mechanism, which will be described next. When the pivot plate 29 is fairly well balanced about the pivot pin 28, a spring 218 urges the front Tc. of the actuating button 18 upwards in order to bias the same upwards according to FIG. The weight of the slide bars 2k and 26 is normally sufficient to unnecessarily close the use of springs for the operating buttons 16 and 16. However, springs such as spring 218 can also be used with these operating buttons if desired. A rear closure plate 1a normally closes the basic housing from behind (FIG. 2).

The moving opposing pawns 5 and 7 become automatically driven by the mechanism of the spring motor. These two players 5 and 7 form and play the defender roles within the basketball game. This means that they cannot be controlled by the player and on them

909821/0526

Wise create competition within the game. These opposing playing pieces 5 and 7 are forced to move up and down one after the other by a mechanism that is driven by the spring motor. The moving opposing playing pieces 5 and 7 each have two pins 5b, 5c and 7b, 7c, which protrude from the back of the playing pieces. These pins are each in slots 30 and 31 of the front plate or cover plate 100 in order to forcibly guide these playing figures in vertical up and down movements. The longer pin 5c or 7c is operatively connected to the ends 33a and 33b of a rotatably arranged Y-plate 33 (FIG. 7). This Y-plate 33 has an axis of rotation 32 which is rotatably mounted in a hole arranged in the front plate 100 and in a further hole 132 arranged in the cover plate 102 (FIG. 1); is designed as a plate, for actuation by pins k2 , which are arranged on a gear 1 ^ 2. This gear 1 ^ 2 has formed integrated with the same a small drive pinion 39, which meshes with the teeth jka of a plastic drive belt "} k , which in turn is moved under the control of the control button 20 and the tension of the spring 35. The pinion and the Gears 1 ^ * 2, which are formed in one piece, are provided with supporting shafts 1 ^ 2a and 1 ^ 2b, which protrude centrally from the pinion and the gear. These shafts ii | 2a and ii »2b are each in inclined slots 1 ^ 5 arranged within the front panel or cover plate 100 and in a slot 1 ^ 7 inside the cover plate 102, the cover plate 102 is suitably fastened to the front plate 1OD by means of support stubs and screws of the usual design in order to fasten the drive for the time escapement mechanism, which is arranged on the front panel 100 ± st.

909821/0526

A leaf spring 139 presses lightly against the upper area of the pinion 39 to keep the gear in engagement with the teeth 3 ^ a of the drive belt Jk . In this way, during the drive, the spring 139 keeps the pinion in engagement with the teeth 3 * ia of the flexible plastic drive belt 3 ^ »when the spring 35 emits its driving force. The attachment nozzles provided with an inclined slot, however, allow the gearwheel a sufficiently large relative movement with respect to the drive belt kk , which is necessary during the tensioning of the spring 35 of the device. Another drive pinion 2k2 meshes with the large gearwheel 1 * »2, the drive pinion 2i» 2 being arranged centrally on a second large gearwheel 2 ^ * 3 and being formed in one piece with it. The gear 2 ^ 3 in turn meshes with the drive pinion 3 ^ 2 of the time escapement gear 3 ^ 3 »which in turn meshes with a claw-like inhibitor 3 ^ 5 with two inhibiting teeth or a balance wheel. All of these parts are rotatably or movably supported and arranged in a known manner, which can best be seen in the exploded drawing in FIG. This escapement mechanism controls the tensioning speed of the tensioned spring 35 after the operating button 20 has been released.

Next, the construction for operating the rotatably disposed Y-plate 33 will be described. The flexible drive belt 3 ^ is made of flexible plastic or the like and has a plurality of transverse teeth 3 ** ^a »which are formed on one of the broad sides of the drive belt Jk . One end of the spring 35 is connected to one end of this drive belt 3 * ». A guide part 36, which is located in the upper right corner of the rear of the front panel 100

909821 / 0S26

is formed, changes the direction of the spring 35 »in such a way to allow a greater length of the spring to be bound or retained within the game. The other end of the spring is suitably attached to a projection 3; supported, the angeordi t on the back of the front panel 100 is. The flexible drive belt 3 ** is from one end to the other of the game case between a guide pulley] ο 37 and a further guide pulley 38 out. Then the end of the drive belt 3 ** is hooked and fastened on the back of the control button 20.

Accordingly, when the operating button 20 is slid along the horizontally disposed slot 21 formed inside the base housing, the spring 35 is tensioned by the flexible drive belt Jk, causing the spring to be tensioned or stretched. If the control button 20 is released by the player after tensioning the spring, the spring contracts to its unstretched position and the control button 20 thus begins to wander back into its original position. Due to the movement of the flexible drive belt 3k , the swing arm 33 (Y-plate 33) is forced to swing up and down, which is carried out in accordance with the gear reduction and balance mechanism as described above. While the spring motor is running, the pins 42, which are arranged at equidistant intervals along the periphery of the rear side of the large gearwheel 1 ^ 2, grip the plate-shaped driver 33c. When the large gearwheel 1 * 42 rotates, these pegs k2 abut against the driver 33c, whereby the Y swing arm 33 is forced to move.

909821/0526

taker 33c can happen. To get the right movement of the Y swing arm 33 to ensure the legs 33a and 33b of the Y-rocker plate 33 may not be balanced.

In the embodiment shown, the leg 33t> is heavier, as a result of which the driver 33c is forced to move into the orbit of the pins k2 of the large gear 1 ^ 2.

The already described escapement mechanism is generally identified in Fig. 3 with the reference numeral ^ 3 and is used plus the speed of rotation of the large gear 1 * »2 to control which, driven by the flexible drive belt 3 ^ »rotates due to the tension of the spring 35.

When, due to the construction described above, the control button 20 is moved in the direction for tensioning the spring 35 and the large gear 1 ^ 2 ^{starts to rotate due to the flexible drive belt 3 ^ z} u which is in contact with the pinion 39, the start peripheral pin k2 of the gear 1 i * 2 to wander on their path and in detail to hit against the driver 33 when this is located within the movement path of the pin, whereby the movement of the Y-pivot arm 33 is caused. ¥ hen the Y-arm 33 is moved, then the outstretched legs 33 move ^a and 33 ^b thereof forced up and down, wherein both the opponent's Figures 5 and 7 ^au f and be moved up and down as these with their longer pin 5c or 7o protrude through the longitudinal slots 30, 31 of the front plate 100 and rest on the legs 33a and 33b. In this way, as can easily be seen, the opposing playing pieces 5 and 7 are moved up and down at a predetermined speed, this speed being predetermined by the inhibiting mechanism. This creates competition for the player, which

909821/0528

is completely beyond its control.

The back of the operating button 20 is provided with a protruding shoulder 220 which is connected to the lower end 152 of a rotary member 52. Another protruding cam 252 is also arranged on the rotary member 52 and only a very short distance below the fulcrum 51 of the rotary member 52. This cam 252 is in active connection with a lever 129 and moves it, this lever 129 being fastened to the rotary plate 29. The purpose of this lever I29 and the cam 252 is that each time when the operation knob 20 is moved to tension the spring, the rotary member 5 ² under the tension of the spring rtscheibe the ¥ _e 122, to its original initial position via the actuating lever 50 wants to turn back the recess 50b, the projection 50c and the pin * »6b. A pin 50d and a guide 115 cause an upward movement of the right end (FIG. 6) of the actuating lever 50 in order to bring the projection 50c out of engagement of the pin k6b of the sector-shaped gearwheel 1 ^ 6. Due to the projection 252, the lever 129 and the spring 53, the playing figure 6 is moved into its lowest position within the angular guide slot 27. In this way the playing pieces and the scoring disc are in the same starting position at the beginning of each game.

The escapement mechanism described above and the drive for the opposing pawns with the gear 1 * »2 with a plurality of pins Ί2 and the Y-pivot arm 33 for Generating a drive motion for the present device is only a mere example and can be modified in Shape can be modified to achieve such an operation. For example, other known gear inhibitor

909821/0526

mechanisms such as those used for engine control and the like can be used so as to cause the swing movement of the Y swing arm or the Y swing plate 33. An alternative drive could be used in the form of an electric motor to drive the movable playing figures 5 and 7 to move up and down instead of a spring actuation mechanism to use.

The counting mechanism for point counting will now be described. The reference number l »3 in FIG. H denotes a counting advancing arm which has a trigger finger kja. has for actuation by the basketball game disc 9 and that every time a goal has been scored. Furthermore, a pawl kjb is provided within a recess of the advancing arm i »3. The counter arm Uj is rotatably attached to the rear of the front plate 100 by means of a wheel axle Uk. Every time the game disc 9 falls on the trigger finger 4 3a, the counting arm k3 is rotated about the axis hk , whereby the point counter is actuated. The movement of the counting arm k 3 causes the pawl h3 & to pivot, so that the pitch wheel * »5 arranged in the recess of the counting arm 3 can continue to rotate. The climbing wheel Ί5 is moved by a ratchet tooth, due to the weight 1 ^ 6 which is arranged eccentrically on the sector-shaped gear U6 . The sector-shaped gear k6 rotates synchronously with the counter via a small pinion k9 which is formed integrally with the pitch gear i >> 5 and the point counting plate 122. The count at the beginning of the game is zero. This is the case when the upper right corner edge of the gear H6 is positioned against the stop 2k6 according to FIG. When the maximum number of points is reached, the projection 222 on the periphery of the point value disc 122 hits the stop 322 on the front panel 100, whereby the

909821/0526

Scoring disc 122 stops and prevents any further rotation of the counter arm kj , as shown in FIG. A lever 50 rotates about an axis of rotation 50a, which is attached to the upper end of a lever 52.

The subject matter of the present invention relates to an inventive basketball game having the one described above Construction that is played by pressing three movement buttons in succession, with individual pieces can be moved up and down. If the playing disc turns into a Ball-receiving recess is located, so the game disc is effectively up into the at the top of the game figure intended recess of the next game figure and / or thrown directly into the basketball receptacle. In this way, by operating the operating buttons, a player is challenged and interested as whether a real basketball game is being played. In addition, the challenge and competition will be the interest in the game is increased by the additional presence of several driven by a motor moving playing figures enlarged, which figure as the opposing playing party of the basketball game. The opposing ones Figures are moved completely independently of the control buttons only by the tension of the spring motor without any control of the player, thereby giving the game unpredictable adversarial action.
