Description

The present invention relates to

i'in a game of skill in which one Ball pushed forward by a sling arm from a ball track to a permanent one rotating disk arrives.

In known games of skill of this type, the push-off device was already for set up the ball so that the player himself had to tighten the spring, Unlocking, for example, a bolt that pushed the ball forward snapped. These Handling gave rise to inconveniences and malfunctions, since the player had two buttons had to operate, so that he often forgot to tighten the pen or confused the buttons and operated them differently.

According to the present invention, the handling of the game device is first discussed door simplifies the player and thereby a safeguard of the game operation achieved by after each completed game by the game master the relevant spring is tensioned and the lever advancing the ball is returned to the initial position while the player only needs to press a single button that activates a lever, through which the balls are then pushed further in a known manner. To achieve the effect mentioned is a specially equipped mechanism that is attached under the table top and consists of a Pulling device and a retaining device for the push lever and from one There is a release mechanism for the latter.

The subject of the invention is shown in one embodiment in the drawing shown.

Fig. Ι is a plan view of the table top with the rotating disk and the Division of fields for placing the players.

Fig. 2 is a side view of the spring tensioning and releasing device the lever through which the ball is pushed forward. - 45

FIG. 3 is a plan view of the device according to FIG. 2.

In the drawing, d denotes the table top in which the motor-driven turntable b is mounted, which is surrounded by the hollowed-out ball running surface α . In the present exemplary embodiment, only a single ball runner tube / is provided, which is arranged below the table top and opens into the ball runner surface α at a ~. ■ j ¹ is a stop or a resistance that limits the movement of the ball. In front of the turntable, on the edge of the table, there is a button m ¹ , by means of which a clamping device for the spring is actuated to push the shot-put jack. The button m ¹ is connected to a wire m , which is attached to two slide rods q (Fig. 2), which are connected to each other and are mounted in two support arms r , which carry the barrel tube f. The latter is also used by a

Sound band r ¹ includes. A specially shaped lever s is rotatably mounted on the clamp strap or between its legs by means of a bolt s ² , which is used to push the ball ο forward . A spring t is attached between the clamp strap r ¹ and the pair of sliding rods q and is tensioned when the wire pull m is tightened. During this movement, the roller u attached to the slide rods q rotates the lever j into the fully marked position (Fig. 2), with its pointed end s ¹ latching into a pawl ν. The pawl ν is mounted in a slot of the one support arm r and is designed as a two-armed lever, one end v ^{2 of which is surrounded} by a scissors-like rod p which protrudes from the table top d and carries a button p ^1. A spring w pulls the pawl ν back after the lever s has been released. A spring χ also acts on the lever s , the tension of which can be regulated by a screw y with a wing nut. The pawl ν and the lower end of the push lever .y can engage in the tube f through a slot f ¹ .

The mode of operation of the device described is as follows:

After the game is over, the game master throws the ball 0 through the upper hole h in the table top or in the tube / into the latter, so that the ball runs back as a result of the backward sloping storage of the tube in the tube / and against a stop s in the same (Fig. 2), the game master now pulls on the button m ¹ , whereby the lever s is turned under tension of his spring χ so that its end s ^x snaps into the pawl ν and is held by the same. Now the player presses the upper button p ¹ , whereby the lever ί comes free from the pawl ν and therefore rushes against the ball 0 and the latter advances in the tube f. The ball 0 takes its way in the direction of the arrow W- through the pipe f into the raceway α. In this it runs around the disk b rotating in the direction of the arrow k "- until it hits the resistance a ^1. The impact on the resistance reduces the force of the ball and it then falls into one of the fields j the spinning disk b.

Claims (4)

Patent claims: ι. Pleasure ball game with a ball pushed forward by a lever, characterized in that this lever (s) is connected to the chairman's seat by a special device in such a way that a spring mechanism hitting him must be tightened by the game director while it is triggered by an am The push button located in the player's place (^ ¹¹ ) takes place. 2. GescMcklichkeits-Kugelspiel according to claim r, characterized in that the pushing lever (s) by means of wire and slide rods {q) is rotated into its starting position and is held in this position by a ratchet lever (v) which is secured by means of a push button (p ¹ ) can be triggered by the player. 3. Skill game according to claim ι and 2, characterized in that the wire pull (m) and the slide rods (g) are retracted into the initial position by spring force (f). 4.
