Air powered rocket sled game

An apparatus for a rocket sled game comprising

• a body member;
• a pair of elongated substantially enclosed passageways within the body member, the ends of each said passageway being disposed adjacent each other to form a pair of substantial loops of approximately the same length;
• a pair of elongated grooved tracks, one provided along the upper outside surface of each passageway to form a pair of continuous loops, each track being in communication with its respective passageway through a plurality of spaced bores along the bottom of each grooved track;
• a projectile sled adapted for slidably fitting in the grooved tracks for traveling in a single direction along each said track;
• the bores of said plurality of spaced bores being inclined from the vertical, the upper ends of each bore being directed toward the direction of travel of said projectile sled;
• means for selectively introducing a separate flow of air into one end of each passageway in a direction opposite the direction of travel of the projectile sled to thereby selectively force the projectile sled along each grooved track in the direction associated with the inclined bores and opposite the direction of flow of air through each passageway, wherein the means for selectively introducing a flow of air comprises a blower compartment, a centrifugal blower mounted in the compartment, the intake thereof being in communication with the air outside the body member;
• a pair of oppositely disposed air ducts tangentially extending from the blower compartment, one said air duct being in communication with one end of a first passageway and having a first valve member interposed in said air duct between the blower and the first passageway, the second said air duct being in communication with one end of the second passageway and having a second valve member interposed in said air duct between the blower and said second passageway, each said valve member having a valve operator extending exterior of the body member.
