Coin operated football and hockey game - has ball release free from jamming

摘要

A ball release mechanism for a two-player, coin operated football or hockey game prevents incomplete release when the control is operated and released too quickly. The ball is supported behind a hinged flap (14) on an inclined plane (6) until the flap is released by the coin-controlled operation of the player. The inclined plane terminates at the flap, so that immediately on movement of the flap it falls down a shaft (15) under gravity and cannot "stick" in an intermediate position. Since there is no rolling, time is saved and no damage to the appts. can ensure as a result of very rapid action of moving parts.
