Game projectile dispensing device

A game projectile dispensing device for dispensing a game projectile onto an adjacent ground surface, the game projectile dispensing device comprising:

• a dispensing housing;
• a means for retaining at least one game projectile relative to the dispensing housing;
• an actuating means for enabling a player to dispense a game projectile from the dispensing housing;
• and
• a selection means comprising a game projectile supply ramp with a first end and a second, opposite end for enabling a player to select between emitting the game projectile in a first direction or in a second direction opposite the first direction wherein the game projectile supply ramp is tiltable from a first orientation wherein the game projectile supply ramp provides a ramp sloped toward the first direction wherein the game projectile will be emitted from the first end of the game projectile supply ramp and a second orientation wherein the game projectile supply ramp provides a ramp sloped toward the second direction wherein the game projectile will be emitted from the second end of the game projectile supply ramp.

A game projectile dispensing device for dispensing a game projectile onto an adjacent ground surface, the game projectile dispensing device comprising:

• a dispensing housing with a first side and a second side;
• a means for retaining a plurality of game projectiles in a stack relative to the dispensing housing;
• a first game projectile emission chute disposed in the first side of the dispensing housing for enabling a game projectile to be dispensed from the first side of the dispensing housing;
• a second game projectile emission chute disposed in the second side of the dispensing housing for enabling a game projectile to be dispensed from the second side of the dispensing housing;
• an actuating lever for enabling a player to dispense a game projectile from the dispensing housing, wherein the actuating lever has a first arm for being engaged by a player and a second arm for engaging a game projectile and inducing the game projectile to be dispensed from the dispensing housing, wherein the actuating lever is pivotable about a pivot axis, wherein the second arm of the actuating lever is generally L-shaped with a proximal leg of the L disposed generally perpendicularly to the first arm of the actuating lever and a distal leg of the L disposed generally perpendicularly to the proximal leg and collinear with the first arm of the actuating lever, wherein the distal leg of the second arm of the actuating lever is disposed adjacent to at least a lower-most game projectile in the stack of game projectiles when the actuating lever is in a non-actuated orientation whereby a player can press on the first arm of the actuating lever to pivot the actuating lever to induce the distal leg of the second arm of the actuating lever to drive the lower-most projectile from the stack of game projectiles;
• and
• a game projectile supply ramp for enabling a player to select between emitting the game projectile from the first game projectile emission chute and emitting the game projectile from the second game projectile emission chute, wherein the game projectile supply ramp is tiltable from a first orientation wherein the game projectile supply ramp provides a ramp sloped toward the first game projectile emission chute and a second orientation wherein the game projectile supply ramp provides a ramp sloped toward the second game projectile emission chute, wherein the game projectile supply ramp is disposed below the means for retaining the plurality of game projectiles whereby, when driven from the stack of game projectiles, a game projectile will drop onto the game projectile supply ramp for being dispensed from either the first game projectile emission chute or the second game projectile emission chute.
