ABSTRACT:
A coin-operable amusement device which provides table equipment and scoring apparatus for arm wrestling contests. For each player there is provided an elbow cup, a fixed handle for the player's free hand, and a touch pad which actuates a scoring indicator. When the losing player's arm is forced down against a touch pad, signal devices operate. In one form the touch pads are depressible for a substantial distance and carry pointers movable along scales which are calibrated in game points. Friction linkages make the pointers remain where deflected. Means are provided to prevent play unless a coin has been inserted into a coin acceptor. One such means comprises a depressible support under each elbow cup, which is locked up in place only when a coin has been inserted. An alternative means is a bar-like blocking element disposed so as to interfere with play when it is raised above the table top. When a coin is inserted, an automatic mechanism lowers the blocking bar out of the way. Fixed handles for the players' free hands may be provided, with thumb-actuated pushbutton switches which energize a "READY" signal when both are depressed.
