ABSTRACT:
A pinball toy including an inclined playing surface having a plurality of holes through which a ball rolling on the playing surface can fall. Beneath each hole is a ball-ejecting member spring biased upwardly but held down by a latch. As a ball falls through a hole, the ball operates a latch release allowing the spring to pop the ball-ejector upwardly through the hole so as to push the ball upwardly through the hole and back on to the playing surface. Each latch release operates independently only in response to a ball falling through its respective hole, and a manually operated member is provided to simultaneously depress all the ball-ejectors to their latched down positions. A striker carried by each latch hits a bell each time the latch is released. Flippers in the lower region of the playing surface are pivotally movable in a plane parallel to the playing surface in response to moving a flipper actuator toward the playing surface.
