Abstract: In a first embodiment, a steel ball traveling along the playing surface of a pinball machine may selectively drop through apertures into one of several aligned cups resulting in movement of the cups by gravity, the closing of a circuit for scoring and the operation of a mechanical linkage for causing rapid arcuate movement of the cups to "throw" the ball back into play.

Abstract: A doll high chair and swing construction is provided, having a frame formed with an upper support having at least one support location on an upper region thereof. A seat member is formed with at least one supportable region adapted for cooperation with the support location to support the chair on the frame. Also provided is a swing member formed on one side with a supportable region adapted for cooperation with the support location to define a pivotal support for the swing member, the swing member being formed with a support location at a side thereof spaced from the supportable region thereof for cooperation with the seat member to support the seat member for swinging displacement within the frame below the frame support location.

Abstract: A simulated bowling game wherein a reflected image of fixed illuminated ten pin shaped lamps is provided. A plurality of fixed illuminated bowling pin lamps are disposed in a ten pin pattern and are each normally illuminated to produce an image representative of a bowling pin. A semi-reflective surface is positioned at an incline with respect to a bowling alley, and is further positioned in facing relationship with respect to the plurality of illuminated bowling pin lamps so that the semi-reflective surface produces an image of each of the illuminated bowling pin lamps at the other end of the bowling alley. A plurality of contacts are positioned in a predetermined pattern at a rear end of the bowling alley and are adapted to produce contact signals when contacted by the bowling ball.

Abstract: A pinball game in which several rear re-projectors are actuatable by a single solenoid which is acted upon by a single switch for re-directing the ball toward the back of a playing surface. Each movable element includes a lost motion connection, whereby when a ball contacts a given re-projector, only that re-projector will be actuated by the single solenoid.

Abstract: A pinball game is provided having two pairs of flippers, each pair being coordinately actuated by the pulling of a springbiased lever toward the user. A spring-loaded ball projecting mechanism is provided operatively coupled by a ratchet to a ball counting device. The ball projecting mechanism is released by displacement of a lever to project the ball and index the ball counting device.

Abstract: A toy plane and launcher set in which the plane can be launched into flight by means of the launcher is provided with a parachute for permitting the plane to float to earth. Means are provided at the apex of the parachute to carry the parachute in a closed mode during flight of the plane with such means being disconnectable from the plane as the plane commences its fall toward earth under the force of gravity thereby permitting the parachute to open.

Abstract: A high speed rotary table ball board game is provided for playing hockey and soccer-like games. The playing surface has a goal at each end. A player controlled movable goalie blocks each goal. The game-piece is driven by curved rotary arms located on each side of the field. One handle is used to rotate all of said arms simultaneously. Rotary motion is imparted to the arms by means of a pawl and ratchet wheel mechanism operated by a player controlled handle. The playing surface is surrounded by sidewalls and a clear plastic cover to keep the gamepiece confined to the playing surface. The playing surface may be hinged at the center for carrying and storage.
