Abstract: An air game apparatus. The apparatus comprises a table. The table comprises a horizontal top surface and peripheral side walls. A plurality of manual pneumatic mechanisms projects air in a substantial manner from each outlet, across the top surface of the table. The plurality of manual pneumatic mechanisms are positioned between top surface and bottom surface and have outlets and handles. One play object is positionable on the top surface of the table. The projected air streams move the play objects on the top surface of the table under the control of opposing players manipulating each of the plurality of manual pneumatic mechanisms with manual pumps, manipulating the direction of the air streams by rotation of outlets and produced the compressed-air necessary to move the playing object.

Abstract: Air hockey tables are disclosed herein. An embodiment of an air hockey table comprises a playing surface and an opening wherein a puck is movable on the playing surface and is receivable in said opening. At least one barricade is movable proximate the opening, wherein the barricade has a first fixed position wherein the puck is prevented from entering the opening when the puck is shot from anywhere on the playing surface, and a second fixed position wherein the puck is able to enter the opening.

Abstract: A pneumatic game apparatus. The apparatus comprises a table. The table comprises a horizontal top surface and peripheral side walls. Side walls extend above the top surface of the table. The table is provided with four apertures located at four opposite corners of the table. The apertures are located within the peripheral side walls at the corners. A plurality of manual pump means project air in a substantially horizontal manner from each aperture, across the top surface of the table. The plurality of pump means are positioned at a respective corner of the table and have outlets. Mounting means to mount each on the plurality of pump means are provided for rotation of the outlets about a vertical axis. One play object is positionable on the top surface of the table.

Abstract: Air hockey tables are disclosed herein. An embodiment of an air hockey table comprises a playing surface bounded by at least three sides; a plurality of air paths extending through the playing surface, wherein air is emittable by the plurality of air paths, and wherein a puck is at least partially floatable on air that is emittable by the plurality of air paths; and at least one opening proximate each of three of the sides, the openings being sized to receive the puck.

Abstract: An amusement device which uses a case containing balls that are shot from one side of the case to the other, and pegs are positioned at the bottom of the case to facilitate scoring. A second container is positioned at the top of the case so the game can be turned upside down in order to continue the game or to start a new game.

Abstract: A game that uses a source of compressed gas, such as compressed air, to provide gas to move a play object across a play surface. The compressed gas source is capable of providing compressed gas to jets in communication with the play surface for directing the gas to move the play object across the play surface. A triggering device allows the player to select one or more jets and selectively trigger the flow of gas from a selected jet.

Abstract: A device for determining whether a rotating stream of water from a sprinkler has been successfully jumped by a person at a player position includes a first sensor generating an first signal as the stream of water passes a first location and a second sensor generating a second signal as the stream of water passes a second location, which is aligned with the player position. The device determines whether the second signal follows the first, indicating whether the stream of water has been blocked by the person, having failed to jump. The device then provides an audible of visible indication as a result of this determination. The device may also display a count of successful jumps.

Abstract: The present invention provides game apparatus for playing a game using a pressurized fluid supply from a fluid source. The apparatus includes a playing surface attached to a frame, a projectile adapted to move on the playing surface, and a fluid delivery system including a fluid delivery device and a fluid conduit.

Abstract: The present invention provides a miniature live-action surfing attraction and associated surf game specifically adapted for use with one or more surf toy action figures. The surf toy action figures are mountable to a surf board appropriately sized and weighted to provide relatively stable or semi-stable surf-riding action upon a sheet flow of water flowing up an inclined ride surface of the reduced scale attraction. Various surf action figures may be set free upon the ride surface, or they may be constrained or partially constrained by wires, strings, magnets or the like, as desired. Alternatively, or in addition, they may be controlled via a remote control, or radio control transmitter, as desired. Thus, a fun and entertaining game is created that provides realistic live-action surfing within a relatively small or confined area.
