ABSTRACT:
Kicker apparatus for a pinball machine having an inclined playing surface, comprises a kicker and mechanism for triggering the kicker to strike a ball and drive the ball up the inclined playing surface. The kicker is disposed in a triangular aperture in the playing surface, two of whose sides converge in the direction in which the ball is projected by the kicker, thereby to direct the ball without the need for upstanding guide members. The triangular aperture is closed from beneath by a plate that is mounted for downward movement under the weight of the ball as the ball rolls down into the triangular aperture by gravity, the plate actuating the triggering mechanism for the kicker.
