ABSTRACT:
An amusement game device includes an endless loop of elongated flexible cord having an upper and a lower run. A first pulley assembly is provided to support one end of the loop and is adapted to be connected to a relatively fixed object such as a door or piece of furniture. A hand held, movable control pulley assembly is provided to support the opposite end of the loop and includes a manually rotatable sheave for moving the cord of the runs toward and away from the fixed object. A trolley is supported for movement on the cord of one of the runs of the loop to move back and forth in response to rotation of the hand held pulley. A toy aerial balloon is carried by the trolley and includes a basket with a grappling hook hanging downwardly thereof for picking up various play objects in the surrounding play area as the aerial balloon is moved around by changing the position of the hand held control pulley and by rotating the control pulley to move a balloon back and forth along the run of the loop. Additionally, a releasable aerial toy such as a glider is supported from the trolley in ready position for release to free-flight when the trolley is moved to contact a stop which may be secured at any desired position along the length of the cord loop. During play, the hand held control pulley assembly is manipulated to control the position of the aerial balloon and grappling hook over the play area to pick up and carry various play objects included in the game apparatus.
