摘要： A gate and target assembly is raised from a first position, wherein a target is positioned in a channel on a playfield to interfere with passage of a ball through the channel, to a second position, wherein the target is positioned above the channel so as not to interfere with passage of the ball through the channel. In a preferred construction, a plurality of targets are pivotally mounted between two opposed upright brackets that extend from the playfield and define opposite sides of the channel, and the targets are moved from the first position to the second position by energizing a solenoid that is linked to a swinging crank pin of the assembly. Moreover, the assembly is covered by the simulated head of an animal, such as a hippopotamus, and the simulated animal head pivots up and down with the targets. A timer circuit, for example, keeps the simulated animal head up and the channel open for a predetermined period of time beginning when any one of the targets is struck. The assembly therefore provides a novel game feature to attract player interest.

摘要： A drop target assembly for a pinball type amusement game includes a frame that is mounted to the under surface of a play field. An elongated target extends through a slot in the play field and is reciprocally mounted in the frame. The target is moveable from a position below the play field to a latched position above the play field by a resetting assembly. In a position above the play field, the target may be struck by a playing object which will release the target causing it to drop to the position below the play field. The resetting assembly includes a target stop member mounted on the frame for reciprocating movement vertically relative to the play field. The target stop member holds one end of the target in the position below the play field and is out of engagement with the target in the position above the play field. The resetting assembly further includes a solenoid with a plunger coupled to the target stop member. The plunger extends parallel to a longitudinal axis of the target.

摘要： A mount for a shaft includes a collar, disposable around the shaft, a first mating piece and a second mating piece. The collar includes first and second tapered outer surfaces that taper away from each other. The first mating piece has a first tapered aperture that is configured to mate with the first tapered outer surface of the collar. The second mating piece has a second tapered aperture configured to mate with the second tapered outer surface of the collar. The first and second mating pieces are adapted to be aligned such that when the collar is mated with the first and second mating pieces, the shaft is substantially perpendicular to the first mating piece.

摘要： A pinball elevator has an inclined conveyor belt tensioned between two pulleys and driven by an electric motor. The belt is perforated with a series of spaced circular apertures for receiving the pinball. Preferably, the apertures have a diameter of about 80% of the diameter of the pinball. A lower one of the pulleys is rotatably mounted beneath the playfield of the pinball machine, and an upper one of the pulleys is rotatably mounted above the playfield. The ball is received by the belt at an entrance location, and is ejected from the belt at an exit location. The ball passes above and over the upper pulley when being conveyed by the belt from the entrance location to the exit location. The upper pulley has a concave central region to prevent the pinball from being prematurely ejected from the belt by the upper pulley. At the entrance location, the pinball sits on the belt and abuts against a wall of the playfield. At the exit location, the ball is tangent to the belt around the upper pulley and is tangent to a supporting surface of an elevated exit ramp.

摘要翻译： 弹球升降机具有在两个滑轮之间张紧并由电动机驱动的倾斜输送带。 皮带穿孔有一系列间隔开的圆形孔，用于接收弹珠。 优选地，孔具有直径为弹珠直径的约80％的直径。 下部一个滑轮可旋转地安装在弹球机的游戏区下方，并且滑轮中的上一个可旋转地安装在游戏场的上方。 球在入口位置由皮带接收，并在出口位置从皮带弹出。 当皮带从入口位置输送到出口位置时，球通过上皮带轮的上方和上方。 上滑轮具有凹入的中心区域，以防止弹珠通过上滑轮过早地从皮带弹出。 在入口处，弹珠坐在皮带上，靠在场地的墙上。 在出口位置，球与上带轮周围的皮带相切，并且与升高的出口坡道的支撑表面相切。

摘要： An electronic alphanumeric indicator is disposed at a target location on the playfield of a pinball machine. The electronic alphanumeric indicator, for example, is disposed just above and behind the target, or in the top portion of the target. For a drop target, the target is transparent and the electronic alphanumeric indicator is mounted on the back side of the target. The electronic alphanumeric indicator, for example, indicates the number of points associated with the target, or the time remaining for the player to complete a task on the playfield.

摘要： A section of the play field is changed during play by replacing components mounted thereon with different components. In other words, the section of the play field is replaced with a new section. Preferably this is done by rotating the section of the play field to expose different components that were previously stored below the play field surface. In a preferred embodiment the section of the play field is coupled by a slip clutch to a continuously running motor, and a solenoid operated catch mechanism stops rotation of the section of the play field when it is approximately parallel to the rest of the play field surface. To change the components included in the play field, the solenoid is energized to release the catch and thereby permit rotation of the section of the play field by approximately 180 degrees.

摘要： Disclosed is an impact-reduction box through which the hoisting ropes of a mining shovel or other machine pass. The impact-reduction box includes a roller frame subassembly and spring box subassemblies attached thereto on either side. The impact-reduction box is configured so that when the hoisting cables impact the box during undesirable whipping, the roller frame subassembly will move in reaction while the spring box subassemblies will remain essentially motionless. The mining shovel will feel less of the impact of the jolting hoisting rope, and the rope will not suffer the wear and tear of frequent slapping against the machine such that the rope will be less likely to completely break.
