Title: An Improved Game of Skill and Apparatus for Playing the same.
Inventor: PESSERS HENRY JOHN GERARD
Filed: 1900-12-21
Granted: 1901-12-21
Abstract: 23,431. Pessers, H. J. G. Dec. 21. Games played with balls, cups, and projectors.- Relates to game apparatus fitted with coin-freed mechanism. Fig. 1 shows a front view, and Fig. 2 a back view with the cover removed. When the mechanism is freed by the insertion of a coin, the trigger 9 may be operated to project a ball up the channel 14 with the object of causing it to fall into the opening 16. The operator thus moves a lever 33, which causes a cup 20 to traverse, and, if he succeeds in catching the ball in the cup, a token entitling him to a prize is delivered on pulling the handle 38. The case is divided by a vertical partition, the front of which is fitted with guides 4, 5 and pins 19 forming the playing part, and is closed by a glass cover. After use, the balls are returned on to the inclined lower surface, and are held back from the projector by a pin 17. When a coin is inserted in the chute 47, it falls on to and tilts a pivoted lever 60, and enables a plate 42 to be rocked by pulling a handle 46, thus retracting the pin 17, which is carried on a frame 41, and allowing the balls to pass one at a time, when a handle 57 is operated, to the playing position 13. At the same time a pin 50 is projected into the channel 14, thus preventing play until the handle 46 is released, when the spring 51 returns the parts to their original position. The balls can then be projected in succession by means of the spring trigger 9. The cup 20 travels in a guide 21, and is connected by a link 22 to the arm 24 of a T-shaped lever, which can be :rocked by the handle 33 acting through a connecting-rod 29. A spring 27 returns the lever. If the ball is caught in the cup, it is delivered to a chute 34, passing down which it tilts a lever 36, thus freeing a slide 38, and then escapes by the opening 35 to the incline. The released slide, when drawn out, delivers a prize token on to the bracket 40.
