ABSTRACT:
A flipper mechanism for use in pinball and pinball type games can be constructed so as to utilize an elongated, linear channel serving as a bearing extending between the sides of the housing for the game and behind the playing platform employed in the game. Two plungers are located within the channel and are normally biased away from one another by a spring located within the channel between the plungers. Each plunger is connected to an arm of a bell crank lever by means of a pin and slot sliding connection. An arm of each bell crank lever is pivotally mounted so as to be capable of being pivoted when its associated plunger is pushed against the spring. The other arm of each bell crank lever is located above the playing platform so as to serve as a flipper as its associated plunger is pushed.
