摘要:
An optical position location apparatus for locating the position of an object in one or more dimensions, which relies upon one or more sources of radiant energy and distributor devices to disburse such radiant energy over a location region or window. Integrated collector assemblies positioned opposite to the distributors receive and collect the transmission of the distributed radiant energy and through reflection or refraction, transfer radiant energy to a minimum of detection locations to monitor the absence or alteration thereof. A rotating optical scanner and a detector are utilized with a continuous stationary light source to successively monitor specific location-coordinate-related portions of transmitted radiant energy and through electronic circuitry, a signal is developed to disclose, with accuracy, the location of objects within the location region "window", as well as other parameters including object size. In other embodiments, an apparatus with elements cooperating along two dimensions is capable of yielding three-dimensional object parameter information.

A miniaturized bowling ball game comprising a simulated lane assembly having an automatic pin status indication, a scoring readout device and a noise generator operated responsive to a ball propelled over the lane assembly by an aimable shooter striking operating contacts simulating the ball striking and knocking down pins. The scoring read out device not only provides the score, but also the frame, and indicates if the prior frame resulted in a spare or strike. Electronically generated noises simulate the noises that occur when pins are knocked down in an actual bowling ball game. Also, the electronic controls randomly provides data which results in different scores, even though balls traverse the same routes.

A hand-held electronic game which uses a two-way mirror arrangement to simulate the battle between the player's rocket ship protected by barriers and a plethora of enemy rocket ships. The enemy rocket ships and the barriers are affixed on two parallel, spaced apart, vertical planes. Apertures in the front plane give the impression in the two-way mirror that the devices on the different planes are all in the same plane. In addition, the player's rocketship and death ray, on a horizontal plane, are also projected on the two-way mirror so that it appears that all the devices are in a single plane.

An elongated vehicle adapted to be propelled along an engaging surface and capable of climbing over obstacles on the engaging surface. The vehicle has a plurality of wheeled units including front and rear units with each unit having two axles and wheels mounted on the ends of the axles. Each unit, except for the front and rear units, shares its two axles with adjacent units. The front and rear units each share only one axle with an adjacent unit. Each unit has a body mounted on the axles and the body is rotatable relative to each of the axles. Each body includes side members to maintain the axles spaced apart longitudinally. The side members of the bodies of adjacent units intermesh and overlap at their shared axles to allow adjacent units to rotate vertically relative to each other. The side members include stop surfaces to limit rotation of adjacent units relative to one another about their shared axles. A drive mechanism is provided to drive the wheels.

A unique skate board game wherein a pair of players individually steer miniature skate boards mounted over a moving tape having a plurality of randomly placed and randomly shaped apertures thereon, attempting to avoid the apertures. The skate boards include bottomless containers having pellets therein which drop through the apertures, if the players fail to avoid the apertures as the tape passes under the skate board.
摘要:
A three-dimensional game having rotatable track members mounted on a support frame on which a self-propelled vehicle may be guided over a predetermined course through rotation of the track members. The track members are mounted on the support frame so that they can be rotated into a plurality of positions in some of which positions a set of track members forms a substantially continuous path upon which the vehicle may travel from one track member to another track member. Rotation of the track members is accomplished through manipulation of a set of attached knobs. Each track member may include a metal panel to which the magnetized wheels of the self-propelled vehicle are attracted, allowing for rotation of a vehicle-carrying track member in a full circle without the vehicle falling from the track member. The players guide the vehicle over a course depicted on a card drawn from a deck of cards, aligning the track members, while the vehicle is moving, so that the vehicle travels from one track member to another until the prescribed course is completed.

A toy motorcycle is mounted on and supported by a front wheel and a driven rear wheel which is heavy enough to act as a flywheel. A pull string mechanism includes a spring biased spring spool having a gear, with a step-up gear train imposed between the spool gear and the rear driven wheel. A centrifugally operated pawl mechanism is driven by the gear train to couple with ratchet teeth formed on the rear wheel in order to drive the rear wheel in one direction and to decouple from the ratchet teeth when the gear train is driven in the opposite direction during string recoil. The rear wheel has a greater moment of inertia than the other components of the pull string drive mechanism to enable the rear wheel to function as a flywheel and thereby store energy to drive the motorcycle. A reed is positioned to be plucked by a rotating cam to produce sound.

A boxing type amusement game including a pair of figures of boxers. Each boxer has a torso with a blow actuated trigger. An inflated launchable balloon is mounted as a head on each torso. At least one arm is pivotally mounted on the torso and has a fist for hitting and actuating a trigger of an opposing boxer. The launchable balloon is mounted on the torso under tension and sealed against air leakage. The trigger releases the balloon and launches it when it is struck by the fist of an opposing boxer.

A pair of racing cars are individually propelled on tracks by impulses of air initiated by individual pumps at speeds that are a function of the individual operation of the air pumps. The propulsion portion of the tracks are enclosed and the rest of the track is opened and designed to enable one car to pass the other. A unique pin and groove system returns each car to its own starting point.
