Patent ID: 8167311

Claim:
A game machine comprising: a cabinet-type main frame standing on a supporting surface, the main frame including a partition horizontally secured therein, a passage defined in the partition, a prize dispensing hole defined in a front panel of the main frame and communicating with the passage; a rack vertically mounted on the partition front of the passage, the rack having multiple rooms defined therein for receiving prizes and a transparent panel attached to a front side of the rack for closing the rooms; a movement assembly mounted on the partition and a drive device mounted on the movement assembly, wherein the movement assembly drives the drive device along a plane that is parallel to the transparent panel, the drive device including a seat mounted on the movement assembly and a pair of rails formed on the seat toward the transparent panel, a slider slidably mounted on the pair of rails, a coupling and drive unit respectively mounted on the slider and connected to each other, a screwed rod longitudinally connected to the coupling and directed to the transparent panel such that the screwed rod can be driven by the drive unit, a screwed bushing mounted on a front end of the seat, wherein the screwed rod screwed into and extending through the screwed bushing such that the coupling, the drive unit and the screwed rod are reciprocally moved relative to the rack due to a relation between the screwed rod and the screwed bushing when the screwed rod is rotated by the drive unit, a first claw mounted on a free end of the screwed rod; an operational unit mounted on a front panel of the main frame for user to control the movement assembly and the drive device; and multiple driven devices respectively mounted on the transparent panel and each partially received in a corresponding one of the rooms in the rack, each driven device including a bushing mounted on the transparent panel and a shaft extending through the bushing, wherein the shaft is rotatably and reciprocally moved relative to the bushing, the shaft including a first end extending into the corresponding room for pushing the prize and a second end having a flexible element longitudinally mounted thereon, wherein the flexible element co-axially corresponds to the shaft when the flexible element is in a free condition, a second claw mounted to a free end of the flexible element, the second claw selectively rotated and pushed by the screwed rod when the drive unit is operated.
