ABSTRACT:
A game including an annular plastic housing having a central opening extending from the top to the bottom thereof. A rotatable disk is located in the central opening. An electric motor having a drive shaft to engage and rotate the disk is provided. A transparent cover is positioned on the annular plastic housing a small distance above the rotatable disk to provide a raceway between the disk and the cover. Walls depend from the transparent cover and terminate slightly above the rotatable disk. The walls are shaped to form pockets and flow paths as well as barricades for the pockets around the periphery of the transparent cover. A plurality of small, somewhat cylindrical plastic parts are placed on the disk to be moved through the raceway upon rotation of the disk. Each pocket has an inlet opening facing the direction of rotation of the disk and an outlet opening facing away from the direction of rotation of the disk. A gate to open and close the outlet opening of each pocket is installed. An arm swingable in an arc across a portion of the cover is installed at each pocket. Each arm has a guide portion normally biased to a position to block the entrance to its pocket. Each guide portion has a pair of fingers to receive one of the small, plastic cylindrical parts lengthwise and admit into the pocket when the guide is swung to the entrance to the pocket. The pockets are each designated by a distinctive color, and an equal number of the small, plastic cylindrical parts are identified with the color of a pocket.
