GAME HAVING PATHWAY TRAVERSING A PLURALITY OF INDEPENDENT OBJECT TRANSFER MECHANISMS

摘要

TITLE: GAME HAVING PATHWAY TRAVERSING A PLURALITY OF INDEPENDENTOBJECT TRANSFER MECHANISMSABSTRACTA game of skill has a support housing on which thereare located a plurality of independent object transfer mechanismspreferably no two which are identical. The transfer mechanismsare aligned in a sequence such that a pathway includes a pluralityof discontinuities along its length which divides it into aplurality of segments. Each of the transfer mechanisms includesone segment of the pathway and some of the transfer mechanismscan also include more than one segment. This creates a discontin-uity in the pathway between each of the transfer mechanisms as wellas between each segment when more than one segment is found on onetransfer mechanism. Each of the transfer mechanisms includes amovable portion which is moved by the operator of the game via acontrol mechanism attached thereto. By manipulating the controlmechanisms a spherical object can be caused to travel across thepathway. The object traverses the discontinuity in the pathwayby a realignment of the segments achieved by moving the movableportion of the object transfer mechanisms.
