ABSTRACT:
A game of skill in which one or more runways for ball bearings are provided and are covered by a transparent shield and the object of the game is for the player to move the carriage to cause the magnet to attract a ball bearing and move it along the runway as rapidly as possible. The runway is a groove which is open at each end of the shield. In order to place the ball bearing in the groove, the player moves the carriage, which has a ball bearing magnetically attached thereto, toward the open end of the groove. As the ball bearing is moved into the groove, a beveled edge of the shield causes the bearing to be pried loose from the carriage, and drop into the groove. The skill factor of the game can be changed by moving the magnet in the carriage toward or away from the shield and thereby vary the magnetic attraction between the ball bearing and the magnet.
