ABSTRACT:
A feature for starting, stopping and recording playing time for a timed game, such as a pop target game, and provided with a momentary switch which connects electrically to a motor and to a stop watch. Toggling the momentary switch simultaneously starts the stop watch and activates the motor. Activation of the motor winds a cable around the motor shaft causing the cable to be withdrawn from a bar which holds the bar and an attached "start target" onto a horizontal rod of the game, thus causing the "start target" to fall. Falling of the "start target" signals a contestant to begin play.
Play ends when the contestant knocks a final "stop target" off a micro switch on which the "stop target" attaches to the game. Removal of the "stop target" opens the micro switch which, in turn, stops the stop watch by means of an electrical connection between the micro switch and the stop watch. The stop watch indicates the contestant's playing time which can be matched against playing times of other contestants.
