Abstract
An actuating device for the playing figures of a ball game apparatus is disclosed and includes a box viewable from above in which transverse rods, each carrying at least one playing figure, are journalled. The rod section carrying the playing figure(s) has an axially fixed handle externally of the box and is rotatable about its longitudinal axis as well as also movable in its longitudinal direction. Each handle is rotatably journalled on the associated transverse rod and each transverse rod is coupled through a coupling that is actuated by its handle. The coupling includes a rotary drive that rotates the rod over a predetermined rotational angle and includes a brake that arrests at about the end of a complete revolution.
Claims9
A ball game apparatus comprising a box with side walls, transverse rods, each rod carrying at least one playing figure, each rod extending across said box and being journalled in opposite side walls of the box and being rotatable about its longitudinal axis and at least the part of said rod carrying the playing figure also being displaceable longitudinally, the playing figure carrying part of the rod extending through one wall of said box and outwardly thereof, a handle being rotatably journalled to the outwardly extending portion and held thereon against relative longitudinal movement, a rotary drive for said rods to rotate said rods about their longitudinal axes, a coupling means for selectively coupling each rod to said rotary drive, and a brake means for arresting rotation of each rod at about the end of a complete revolution.
