ABSTRACT:
A latch and latch release mechanism for an indicator which visually signals the movement of a tensioned sliding bar along a game board. The mechanism includes an indicator in the shape of a fanciful apple pivotally mounted for movement between a lowered position and an upstanding position. A rubber band urges the indicator to its upstanding position. A latch is formed on the indicator and is positioned to engage the sliding bar when the indicator is in its lowered position to retain the indicator in this position. A row of teeth is formed on the game board and aligned with the path of movement of the tensioned sliding bar. A finger is mounted on the indicator and engageable with the teeth when the indicator is in its lowered position to twist the indicator and release the latch from engagement with the sliding bar when the sliding bar moves. The finger is movable vertically between a tooth-engaging position and a tooth-clearing position to permit the indicator to be latched to the sliding bar in any position of the sliding bar.
