ABSTRACT:
An amusement device is provided with an elongated upstanding transparent tube, closed at its top and bottom, and containing a suitable projectile, advantageously a ball. A launching means in the form of a pivotal lever is provided adjacent the bottom of the tube. Ball retaining slide members are positioned at spaced locations along the tube and are adapted to be digitally moved into and out of the interior of the tube. The ball normally rests at the bottom of the tube upon the launching lever. When the lever is depressed the ball is propelled upwardly in the tube and the user then tries to digitally insert a slide member for the purpose of catching and retaining the ball as it gravitationally drops through the tube.
