Abstract: An electronic test circuit is disclosed for pinball type games. A microprocessor is programmed to provide scoring responsive to detecting the actuation of the various switches located on the game surface. A sequencing device controls operation of the microprocessor to perform a test routine whereby the microprocessor will sequentially operate every light, ball ejector and switch position to permit testing of these devices for possible repair or replacement. The sequencing device can cause the microprocessor to continuously cycle through all of the test positions or can cause the microprocessor to single step through each test position and repeat testing of a given position as often as necessary to correct a located defect.

Abstract: The amusement device in which a plurality of symbol bearing wheels are rotated and then stopped, and wherein feelers are then permitted to move toward the axis of rotation to sense the combination of symbols appearing in a straight line. An electrical circuit is provided and operates in response to the position of the feelers and the number of coins or tokens used to determine whether a player has won, and, if so, to what extent that player has won.

Abstract: The disclosure is directed to an elongated and tapered, bulb-like hollow housing which is constructed and arranged to fit in the outer ear of the wearer having a plurality of openings formed therein circumferentially disposed to define rib portions which are substantially parallel to the longitudinal axis of the housing. The tapered end has a small opening formed therein which by comparison is substantially smaller in diameter than that of the bulb-like hollow housing. A flexible conduit which has one end adapted to fit a sound transmitting device, such as a hearing aid or other acoustical device has the other end extending through the hollow housing into the small opening in an acoustic coupling relationship. An end cap in the form of a disc may be secured in the larger open end of the tapered cylindrical housing to receive the flexible conduit and may also be formed with a number of apertures therein. Two discs may also be used to control the size of the openings by using a side-by-side arrangement.
