ABSTRACT:
A drop target assembly for a pinball type amusement game includes a frame that is mounted to the under surface of a play field. An elongated target extends through a slot in the play field and is reciprocally mounted in the frame. The target is moveable from a position below the play field to a latched position above the play field by a resetting assembly. In a position above the play field, the target may be struck by a playing object which will release the target causing it to drop to the position below the play field. The resetting assembly includes a target stop member mounted on the frame for reciprocating movement vertically relative to the play field. The target stop member holds one end of the target in the position below the play field and is out of engagement with the target in the position above the play field. The resetting assembly further includes a solenoid with a plunger coupled to the target stop member. The plunger extends parallel to a longitudinal axis of the target.
