Abstract:
A wheel game apparatus comprising an inner ring mounted for rotational motion about a central shaft having a plurality of circumferentially spaced slots, a central cone mounted for rotational motion about the shaft in an axial adjacent position to the upper side of the inner ring and including a plurality of markers thereon, and aligning and engagement features whereby the cone can be rotated relative to the inner ring such that each of the markers will align with a slot and the cone will remain engaged while the inner ring is rotated.

Claim (Index 11):
A wheel game apparatus comprising:\n a base having a central axial shaft; an inner ring mounted for rotational motion about the shaft, the inner ring having an upper side, a lower side and a radially outer edge, the upper side including a plurality of circumferentially spaced slots adjacent to the radially outer edge; a central cone mounted for rotational motion about the shaft in an axial adjacent position to the upper side of the inner ring, the central cone having an upper side, a lower side and a radially outer edge, the upper side including a marker thereon; a plunger mounted to the upper side of the inner ring, the plunger including a spring for biasing an arm extending radially inward, the arm including a distal end; an annular ring mounted on the lower side of the central cone, the annular ring including a plurality of equally sized engagement spaces divided by radial ridges, the plurality of engagement spaces being equal to the number of circumferentially spaced slots, each engagement space being generally in radial alignment with a single circumferentially spaced slot, wherein the plunger is configured to form an engagement with at least one of the engagement spaces of the annular ring through the application of a radially inward force to the distal end of the arm of the plunger against the engagement space whereby the at least one marker is positioned in radially alignment with a single slot and the cone is at rest; and means for applying force to the cone sufficient to cause the disengagement of the plunger with the at least one engagement space and the subsequent rotational motion of the cone until the rotational motion of the cone is slowed by the radially inward force applied to the distal end of the plunger until the plunger forms another engagement with at least one of the engagement spaces whereby the at least one marker is positioned in radially alignment with a single slot and the cone comes to a rest.
