  • Patent number: 5056789
    Abstract: A game housing includes a series of angulated ramps arranged vertically underlying one another, with a predetermined column of contrastingly colored or enumerated spheres positioned adjacent the bottommost ramp. The housing includes a slide defining an upper end of the housing, wherein the slide, upon retraction from a first retracted position to a second extended position, permits descent simultaneously of a series of spheres to the uppermost ramp. "L" shaped lever plates are selectively withdrawn from the ramp to permit descent of a predetermined number of spheres from the ramp to ultimately position and arranged the spheres directed along the ramps to align with the aforenoted column of spheres.
