Abstract: The invention provides a new table game of the baseball type. The table game includes a number of player figures mechanically rotatably arranged on a playing surface for catching and forwarding a ball to base areas and also a player figure depicitng a batsman being able to strike the ball. The table game also includes manually operated switch or push button devices intended to be repeatedly manipulated for simulating one or more offensive players running between the bases and sensor devices being biasable by the ball. There is also an electronic computer system connecting the push buttons and the sensor devices with a number of indicating means indicating hit outs occuring when the ball is forwarded to any of the base areas and any offensive player simulated by repeated pressing of a push button is outside the base areas.
Abstract: The invention concerns a sweeping apparatus of the kind comprising a manually operated carriage (1) with at least one pair of rear wheels (3, 4) and at least one front wheel (5, 47) and a power operated rotatable brush cylinder (14). The brush cylinder is carried by and journalled in a yoke (21) or corresponding element, which is mobile with respect to the carriage and constitutes or is a part of a front lever arm of a double lever (37), the rear lever arm of which is made up of or is a part of the manually operated handle (28, 44) of the carriage, said lever being hinged to the carriage (1) with a horizontal first turning axis (36) and permitting the brush cylinder to be raised or lowered with respect to the surface to be swept and the pressure of the brush against said surface to be adjusted by means of said handle by moving said double lever about said horizontal first turning axis.
