ABSTRACT:
A game having a base with a number of slots in its top surface. A bar is positioned astride said slots and has rods pivotally suspended therefrom over said slots. Each rod has an object magnetically attached to its lower end. Each slot overlies a manually movable endless belt. Each belt carries an animated figure a portion of which can rise above the base to remove an object. The body portion of each figure has therein a vertically movable bar which projects out from the underside of the base and is spring biased to its lowermost position. The portion of the bar in the body is sheathed by a slide cylinder. A split hollow head portion is pivotally joined to the upper end of the cylinder and is opened and closed in response to relative vertical movement of said vertically movable bar in the cylinder. A first spring disposed between the vertically movable bar and the slide cylinder permits limited relative vertical movement between the bar and cylinder to open the head. A second spring normally presses the cylinder against the bar for concurrent movement after initial relative movement but disengages from the cylinder when the batter ascends a predetermined distance together with the bar, and the first spring then returns the bar and cylinder to their initial relative positions, closing the head. A push-up bar is positioned along the area of passage of each vertically movable bar to operate it.
