ABSTRACT:
A game apparatus (20) for propelling a ball (37) towards a target. The game apparatus (20) includes a housing (22), a launching mechanism (32) mounted in a first end portion of the housing, and a rotary-translating target (44) mounted on a second end portion of the housing. The launching mechanism includes a catapult lever (34) biased away from the housing by a spring (42). A rotatable cup (36) for carrying the ball is rotatably carried on the catapult lever. A linkage arm (43) is pivotally connected between the rotatable cup and a mounting post (58). Depression of the catapult lever causes rotation of the rotatable cup and received ball, while release of the catapult lever causes the rotatable cup to impart an axial spin to the ball (37) as it is propelled toward the target. The target moves along a circular path during game play.
