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 game including a game board having a base and pegs upstanding on the base arranged in columns and rows to define a grid of uniformly sized squares. A plurality of square cards each of which is divided into nine colored squares identical in size to the squares of the game board is provided. Notches are formed along the sides of each card at the corners of each square and openings are formed in the card at the corners of the center square so that the cards can be fitted over the pegs and against one another and the base of the game board. The squares on the cards are arranged in patterns of color so the cards can be placed on top of one another in a partially overlapping manner to ultimately form a pattern of nine contiguous squares of the same color when viewed from above.
摘要:
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 tabletop bowling game including a small scale replica of a bowling alley. A platform is mounted above the replica of the bowling alley at one end thereof. Ten upstanding posts are formed on the platform with the posts arranged in seven columns extending lengthwise of the bowling alley to provide a pattern of posts similar to the pattern of pins on a bowling alley. Each post receives and supports a small scale replica of a bowling pin. Each small scale replica of a bowling pin has a spring which is compressed by its post and which biases the bowling pin in a direction upwardly off the post. A releasable hook mechanism is provided for holding each bowling pin replica on its post against the bias of the spring. Targets extend downwardly from the platform and terminate slightly above the bowling alley with each target aligned with a single column of posts. Slides connect the targets and the hooks to release one of the hooks from its bowling pin replica upon movement of the target. One of the slides is arranged so that movement of the target aligned with the middle column of posts will release all of the hooks and bowling pin replicas and movement of the target aligned with a column other than the middle column of posts will release less than all of the hooks and their associated bowling pin replicas. A puck is provided to be slid on the alley replica into contact with one of the targets.

A tabletop baseball game including a replica of a baseball field and a diamond which is constructed with plastic tubing and bases joined by connectors. A ball-hitting mechanism and a ball-positioning and supporting wall are provided as part of home plate. The ball-hitting mechanism includes an arm which is pivotally mounted for rotation in an arc relative to home plate. A replica of a baseball bat is pivotally mounted on the arm for swinging motion in a path that intersects the ball when it is positioned on the home plate. A spring mechanism is provided which can be tensioned by reverse rotation of the bat replica, stored by a ratchet and pawl mechanism and released by a push button to swing the bat.

A latch and latch release mechanism for an indicator which visually signals the movement of a tensioned sliding bar along a game board. The mechanism includes an indicator in the shape of a fanciful apple pivotally mounted for movement between a lowered position and an upstanding position. A rubber band urges the indicator to its upstanding position. A latch is formed on the indicator and is positioned to engage the sliding bar when the indicator is in its lowered position to retain the indicator in this position. A row of teeth is formed on the game board and aligned with the path of movement of the tensioned sliding bar. A finger is mounted on the indicator and engageable with the teeth when the indicator is in its lowered position to twist the indicator and release the latch from engagement with the sliding bar when the sliding bar moves. The finger is movable vertically between a tooth-engaging position and a tooth-clearing position to permit the indicator to be latched to the sliding bar in any position of the sliding bar.

A toy spinner in the shape of a birthday cake which uses sequentially flashing lights to duplicate the rotational movement of a pointer and also provides a clicking sound characteristic of a carnival-type fortune wheel. The spinner has a turntable which carries a single light bulb which sequentially illuminates a series of lamps arranged in a circle to mimic the action of a rotating pointer. Rotation of the turntable activates an electrical circuit which remains activated after the turntable stops for a dwell period to indicate by a lighted bulb the segment at which the pointer has stopped. The spinner may be used with a game board and markers. Indicia on the segments are tied into the markers and indicia on the markers are related to elements on the game board.
摘要:
A tabletop action game for two, three or four players in which each player attempts to be the first to dispose of a predetermined number of marbles by propelling the marbles into targets being carried on a rotating turntable, while also rotating the turntable. The game includes a generally square, plastic frame having a central opening. A frusto-conical shaped turntable is rotatably mounted in the central opening. A lever operated mechanism for rotating the turntable is located at each corner of the frame. Also provided at each corner of the frame, adjacent the lever operated rotating mechanism, is a lever operated marble propelling mechanism. A chute is installed over each marble propelling mechanism to direct the propelled marbles onto the turntable. The targets includes a open top replica of a garbage truck and an open top replica of a trash container.
摘要:
A game including a hollow housing in the shape of a chicken or hen having an outlet opening for a marble which represents an egg. An inclined ramp leads from the marble outlet opening. A detent is located in the inclined ramp to restrain movement of a marble past the detent on the ramp. A shield extends over the detent to restrict access to a marble retained by the detent. An opening extends through the shield to permit generally vertical access to a marble held by the detent. An electrically conductive ring encircles the opening. A circular magnet is mounted on the underside of the electrically conductive ring generally coaxial therewith. A metal probe having an insulated handle is provided with an insulated electric wire connecting the metal probe to a battery power supply. A direct current miniature motor and the electrically conductive ring are provided in an electrical circuit with the battery power supply and probe so that the engagement of the metal probe with the electrically conductive ring completes the circuit and actuates the direct current electric motor. A shuttle driven by the electric motor through a gearing arrangement actuates wings pivotally attached to the hollow housing on opposite sides thereof to create noises and a visual effect indicating that the player failed to remove an egg without disturbing the chicken.
