Abstract:

A dispensing fishing game system includes a prize capsule storage bin in the form of a three dimensional play field at the bottom of a cabinet. A drive mechanism controls a fishing rod with lifelike operation. An external fishing rod hand and spool mechanism are activated by a player to manipulate the inside fishing rod mechanism to move side to side, or back and forth, a fishing hook in order for a player to move the hook and snag one of the prizes. Once hooked, the prize is lifted and released over a prize chute which then falls down and rolls into a prize opening for the player to collect.

Two Ferris wheels carry free swinging gondolas that receive and hold the prize capsules from the loaders. Two or more player-activated actuator arms located next to the outer edge of the Ferris wheels are used to hit targets attached to the moving gondolas, in turn causing the gondolas to tip forward and release the prize capsule, which then falls down and rolls into the prize opening for the player to collect.

Inventors:

Bryan P. Hansen - Des Plaines IL

International Classification:

A63F 730

US Classification:

273121A

Abstract:

A pinball game for creating an optical illusion in which a real pinball normally enters a saucer cup held on a stage during a first operating state, During a second operating state, the stage screens are closed and the pinball enters a lift mechanism held behind the stage. A false pinball is displayed in the saucer cup and is raised by the lift mechanism to create the illusion that the real pinball is floating in defiance of gravity. After the false pinball and the real pinball are in the loft area above the stage, the real pinball is guided to a ramp which returns the real pinball to the playfield.
